“Jinah is the best! This was the first time I have ever had to leave my pets with anyone that’s not family and I was very nervous especially having a 4 month old puppy. I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about, Jinah took such great care of them! She sent lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. I would rebook with Jinah anytime, highly recommend!”
“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
“Blake took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful throughout the stay, and I really appreciated the updates about how he was doing. My dog can be a little anxious, and Blake was very patient, attentive, and understanding of his needs. She made sure he was comfortable, eating his regular food, and keeping to a familiar routine as much as possible. Blake also kept me informed about some tummy issues and a small accident, which I really appreciated. She handled everything calmly and responsibly. She went above and beyond. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being closely monitored and cared for. Overall, Blake was kind, reliable, and very considerate. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and attentive sitter.”
“Jesse did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Roxy and Klaus. He set up a meet & greet time with us well in advance of our trip. He asked detailed questions prior to our trip and communicated very well. Not only did he take care of our doggo's, he was mindful about keeping the house clean and attentive to details. Jesse checked in with us, sent us a few pictures and asked questions when they came up. The dogs were quite happy and our neighbors were too. Jesse even set up a scent hunt in the back yard to keep Roxy and Klaus happy and to tire them out. We highly recommend Jesse to watch over your pets and home. Cheers!”
“Alex went above and beyond on his first overnight with our cat TK. After an initial meeting, he asked questions to be sure he understood our cat and our house. On his visit he sent oodles of photos, our 9-yr-old TK looking completely relaxed and having fun. We returned to a happy, calm and collected cat and our house perfectly taken care of. We've already booked Alex for 2 more chunks of time later this month. Responsive, understanding, conscientious. Oh--and he's so upbeat. So glad to have him in our TK family now.”
“Kyline was a wonderful asset for my weekend getaway. She quickly earned my little dogs trust and provided multiple updates during her stay. Absolutely A+, definitely will be contacting her again for the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Gianna was amazing! She stayed with our Louis for four nights and we are so lucky to have found her. She sent lots of pictures and updates and took such great care of him. She was super responsive and treated our house with great care. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Thad was prompt, communicative, and great with my dog. He kept the house in good shape and watered the garden as instructed. He is very personable. I enjoyed meeting him and will call him again.”
“We are so happy that we found Ashley. She was wonderful and took such good care of our two cats, two dogs (one with high anxiety) and chatty cockatiel. We received daily updates with pictures and were able to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. We highly recommend Ashley and we hope she wants to come back again.”
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our two cats. She was attentive and provided great photos of them for us during the day. She was so respectful and took great care of our home as well. Cannot recommend Rebecca and her services enough.”
About: I have grown up owning both dogs and cats of all ages and cared for them like family. I love animals and have 15 years of pet sitting experience for family and friends over the years! I am currently a college student and balancing school and other activities is a priority for me! I will have a lot of time to hang out and play with your pups! I will make sure you have complete trust in me taking care of your fur babies in your house by following all instructions given and will make sure to clarify with you any care questions I may have!
“There aren't enough words to express how thankful we are to have found Francesco. He was incredible with our dog Betty. He was very good about updates and really intuitive in his interactions with her. She's really slow to warm to people and was calm with him very quickly. Our home and Betty seem to be in better shape than when we left. We will be sure to recommend him to anyone in need and will be booking with him again in the near future. Thank you again, Paul and Krystal”
“Courtney was great, I knew I had the right person to take care of my 5 month old puppy, and home. She was punctual, professional and caring. She updated me frequently, and I was confident all was well while out of town. I will definitely hire Courtney the next time I need a sitter!”
“Toni did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our pup while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and sent detailed, thoughtful updates that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly felt the whole time that our pup was safe, loved, and in very capable hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless apartment, everything looked amazing. We’re so grateful for her care and attention and would gladly work with her again. Highly recommended!”
“We were so thankful Hannah was able to housesit for us after another sitter backed out last minute. She was reliable and communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would absolutely recommend Hannah!”

Blake is a top tier pet sitter. She went above and beyond to care for our animals and home. When she showed up for the meet n greet taking notes I knew we were in great hands. Upon return animals were so happy and relaxed, the house and garden was cared for beyond asking, she truly is a gem! Thank youuuu!!
We chose Jill to watch our 2 dogs; a 5 1/2 yo Goldendoodle and a 4 yo 7 lb Yorkie. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the loving care she gave our dogs for the 5 days we were out of town for a wedding. Jill really went the extra mile by coming by prior to the sit in order to get oriented to our home and dog’s routines. In addition, she was open to arranging a meeting between our 2 dogs and her very calm Aussiedoodle; our dogs got along great and loved the extra socialization with another pup. Jill allowed us to go on our trip feeling confident our dogs were in good hands and we came home to find 2 very happy dogs. Thank you Jill! We hope you consider sitting for us again.
Alex is terrific -- and having him housesit with our cat TK is a joy. Alex gives the cat love and TK reciprocates -- that's clear from the photos Alex sends showing the cat snuggled up next to him (or sitting on Alex's computer, demanding attention). Alex also played sitting-tag with a friend, who came for several days, and coordinated with her so that care for the cat and watering of our garden went seamlessly. Finally, TK had a few puking incidents. While TK did not apologize to Alex, I did. Alex's response? "No worries! Animals doing animal things." He's a great sitter with a sense of humor.
Jinah is the best! This was the first time I have ever had to leave my pets with anyone that’s not family and I was very nervous especially having a 4 month old puppy. I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about, Jinah took such great care of them! She sent lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. I would rebook with Jinah anytime, highly recommend!
Georgia was an amazing house sitter. She took very good care of my 3 month old puppy. Including making him meals and giving him medicine. She was very responsive and communicated well and kept me informed of how he was doing over the weekend. She even started load of laundry!
Ella was amazing! I have two French bulldogs and have always had a friend or family member available to watch them. We first met with Ella to meet us and my two pups and it went great! When she watched my sweet babies she sent text updates, photos, and I really appreciated that. 10000 stars to Ella! Can’t wait for us to watch our dogs again!
Oli was great!! She took great care of my sweet senior dog and shy cat. Communicative, accommodating, really kind. She took great care of both of the pets and sent lots of update pics. Really appreciate the care she took, especially with all the tricky requirements for my senior guy. Definitely will want Oli to take care of my pets again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cotati
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cotati on Rover is $55.5 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 1,379 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cotati. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Cotati walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cotati 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!
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 Cotati 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!
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cotati. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
