“Robin was a great cat sitter and took good care of our boys. She was in touch all throughout our trip, making us enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of. We came back home to a clean house and happy cats. We would use her again.”
“Andrea was so helpful in looking after our 10 week old puppy for two days so we could work! She did a great job following the busy puppy schedule we gave her and she even accommodated us on a last minute request for service. Would definitely recommend her and hope to have her back in the future!”
“Lyndsay was terrific with our dogs she sent me photos of our dogs she let me know how they were doing, she sent me updates throughout our time away. Lyndsay was a great pet sitter she kept our house tidy. Our dogs were happy to see use I could tell by their behaviour that they were well cared for by Lyndsay.I would recommend her to dog sit for others. Thank you Debbie Creaser”
“This was my first time using Rover to find someone to look after my little girl. Amanda was great with her. I got pictures and updates. If I asked a question or checked in she was great at getting back to me. I was able to enjoy my brother's wedding with no worries about my girl. I will definitely be using her for anytime I plan on going away.”
“Ana took such an amazing care of our little Luna! While we were away to Mexico for a family vacation, Ana made sure to let us know how Luna was doing and shared photos of her which we appreciated much. We would love a future sitting with Ana’s family!”
“Adrianna was a wonderful pet sitter to our two cats and dog! She spent the days at our home and provided daily updates with photos. When one of our cats had a medical issue while we were away, Adrianna kept us informed, communicated clearly and even offered to take her to the vet which provided so much peace of mind. We arrived home to a clean house and pets who were clearly loved and cared for. We would happily hire her again! Thanks for everything Adrianna”

“Caroline took care of Rudy like he is her own special dog. She sent pictures of him for us to see which was so reassuring and kept in touch as much as we wanted. Every time we got a picture, we could see how happy and relaxed he is which did so much to calm our worries. She administered medication to him and also did some basic plant watering and kept our home the way we left it.”
“Zoe took great care of our Jasper and our home. She graciously got his pills into him even when he was a grump and she sent lots of updates and pictures to keep us in the loop while we were away.”
“Courtney was amazing! Zeus was a happy dog when we arrived home and settled easily; We are confident Courtney cared for Zeus just as we would. We felt so comfortable having Courtney stay in our home and will hopefully be able to welcome her back to care for Zeus again in the near future.”
“Nathaniel was so great. He stayed at our house with our anxious dog for a week and was able to build a good relationship with her. He followed our scheduled, gave her lots of exercise, and took great care of our house. He even went above and beyond ensuring that our house remained "viewing ready" as it was for sale while he was there. We are really happy with Nathaniel and his care of our little girl and home. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great pet/home sitter.”
“Jasmine was amazing with our dogs. Our senior who can be quite fussy took to Jasmine right away. We had constant updates with photos of our kiddos. It was nice to see that they were doing so well. She has great communication skills, took our dogs for walks and we came home to a clean house. Very impressed with her. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Sara took really good care of Winston and Fin. They bounded with her right away and were zen throughout the stay. She’s professional, friendly, provides regular updates, fed Winston’s supplements twice a day and spent her time caring and entertaining them. I will definitely rebook with Sara and recommend her for your next house sitting needs.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked Alyssa to take care of my four animals and again she was amazing! Two of my cats are on medications and she eased my anxiety about leaving them. I’m so happy I have a reliable pet sitter now that goes above and beyond the standard pet care !! :)”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. My family has had dogs of all sizes throughout my entire life, which has allowed me to learn how to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. My family and friends have trusted me with the care of their pets in the past as well. I also have experience with cats, birds, hamsters, hedgehogs, rabbits, and even pigs. I'm available for boarding from 10 AM to 10 PM everyday except for Friday's (and the occasional Sunday). My availability will change in September when my university classes start up again. Making sure that dogs get to explore and sniff to their hearts content is very important to me, as its been found to make them feel more happy and safe. I also have a water bottle for dogs so they can stay hydrated on active and warm days. Ultimately, it's important to me that I respect your pets need for both attention and personal space.

Jasmine was amazing with our dogs. Our senior who can be quite fussy took to Jasmine right away. We had constant updates with photos of our kiddos. It was nice to see that they were doing so well. She has great communication skills, took our dogs for walks and we came home to a clean house. Very impressed with her. We will definitely use her in the future.
I have never felt more at ease leaving my dog with someone. Kelcy was so professional and kept us very up to date while we were away. Our boy seemed extremely happy and well taken care of. Every picture he had a huge smile on his face. She was able to also provide some extra attention and dietary needs when it came to dealing with a big dog with arthritis. We can't wait for her to stay again and watch him. Feels good to know he is in very good hands when we aren't around.
Olivia was very professional. Easy to get along with. And most importantly did awesome with our mile long list of instructions we left. Also had to administer ear drops, and pills for our dog Haley. She took Haley for a walk. Not too mention went over and above, leaving our house VERY clean. Vacuumed, stripped the bed, kitchen was sparkling etc. HIGHLY recommend her services. We will definitely look her up before our next vacation!
Kennedy was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive to zorro and sent us updates on how his day was going. She took him for three walks and made sure he was fed and brushed. I don't think he missed us at all lol. Would definitely ask her to house sit again. The house also looked amazing when we got back. Great experience. I would say the best I've had on here.
Jaden watched my dog and my sister in law’s dog at my house on two separate days while we were away from home for wedding events. We were so impressed with her attention to detail and thorough care of the dogs. She is very responsive by message and her passion for animals really shows in her great attitude in her update messages. She was very reliable and punctual! Both dogs loved their time with her. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for dog sitting services! Thank you Jaden!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Larkspur on Rover is $53.48 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 645 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Larkspur. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Larkspur maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Larkspur walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Larkspur choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
