“Ashley took good care of my cat, played with her and sent lots of pictures. She communicates well. My cat really liked her and was relatively calm on my return. I arrived back home to find my house much as I had left it. No problems!”
“We highly recommend Lauren to watch your fur baby. We initially reached out to Lauren to see if she could watch our sweet old girl (19 y.o. dog); she responded within 15 minutes confirming that she was available. A few days before, Lauren stopped by our apartment to receive our key and meet our pup. She brought a notebook to write down all instructions / important notes. Her demeaning was soft and positive, and already we knew she was a great fit. On the day of our leave, Lauren was in regular correspondence about her timing and about activities with our girl. She took a few picture updates. Everything went very smooth. She clearly had no problem watching our elderly dog. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to watch your loved one fur pup, elderly or otherwise.”
“It was our first time having Mia watch our two Siberian Huskies. One can be very stand-offish and Mia understood her personality. She sent texts with pix of our happy dogs. She was a pleasure to meet and the dogs did great with a new person in the house! I will definitely use Mia again.”
“Stefanie was great with my two Golden Retrievers. One of my Golden Retrievers has special needs and is 14 years old and she gave her all of her medications and gave them lots of love and attention. She communicated really well and showed up on time. I am really grateful for her help taking care of my two babies at the last minute.”
“Of course! Here’s a personalized and thoughtful Rover review for Amanda, using the names Boomer, Brian, and Roxy — assuming those are your dog(s) and/or people related to your dog: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Experience with Amanda – Our Pack Loved Her! We had such a great experience with Amanda! From the moment we met her, we knew Boomer, Brian, and Roxy would be in excellent hands. Amanda was warm, professional, and clearly has a real love for dogs. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her—Boomer couldn’t stop following her around , Roxy got her attention, and even Brian (our picky one!) warmed up quickly. We’re so grateful to have found Amanda and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring dog sitter!”
“We are very grateful to have been connected with Jillian for the care of our two dogs Dipsi and Sofia. Jillian was very interested in learning the details of how best to care for our girls, even though it was a short stay. Communication was great and Jillian really helped put us at ease, especially in being detail-oriented and in following directions to make sure our girls were happy and safe. We appreciated the photos and it looks like our girls were very well-loved and cared for while we were gone. We would definitely book Jillian again - thank you so much!”
“Hailey was wonderful! It was our very first time learning our 4 month old puppy with someone and she took the best care of him, sending us updates and pictures throughout the evening. I can definitely recommend her!”
“Madison was wonderful. She is responsible and kind to my pets. She made sure to take time to give them individualized and personalized attention. That counts for a lot in my book! She also let me know when she was coming and going, so I could monitor my Frenchies’s anxiety. I highly recommend Maddison!”
“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!”
“Laura took amazing care of our elderly pug! His health issues makes him not the easiest to care for but she caught on to his needs quickly! Bubba enjoyed his time with her! We came home to a super clean house and happy pup! Couldn’t ask for anything more! Will definitely book again and highly recommend Laura for your next booking!”
About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Amazing! My dogs seemed happy and was updated with pictures the entire time. Erik is very easy going and really helped Put my mind at ease with my concerns with all the dogs. So easy to communicate with and really handled the dogs well and with ease. Very happy with him. Felt comfortable with him from the moment we met! Will definitely use him again!!!”
“Peter was very attentive to our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hijo. It was very clear that he made Hijo his priority and Hijo was so comfortable with him that Peter got to see some of his antics usually reserved for folks he knows well. We felt very confident Peter had everything under control while we stepped away. Jen”
“Benjamin was amazing with my three boys. I have two very social cats and one who is very shy and scared of new people. Benjamin was wonderful with them all and the shy one even came out and sat with him which never happens. My two social boys slept on his lap. Definitely going to have him again. Three cat 🐈 approved! 🥰”
“Veronica is aways wonderful. She is very respectful, kind, and takes great care of our dog. The peace of mind she gives to us when she is with our princes Kaylee is priceless.”
“Nikki was great! My dog was clearly happy and in good spirits when I came home. She communicated well, and my house was just as I left it when I got back! Will definitely book with her when I go out of town next!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Healdsburg is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Healdsburg
Our GSD has megaesophagus. In the 8 years we have had him we have never left him with anyone for a vacation. We started RV’ing because we could have him with us at all times. This trip was to California and we could not take him. We thought we had him secured at a doggie sanctuary but then was told he was too much for them to handle but to check out Rover. This situation left us in a last minute scramble for sure. I got on and immediately messaged a few people and thankfully one of them referred us to Wendy! She is tiny but mighty, and willing to take it all on with enthusiasm and love! .We left her a 4 page agenda including to-do’s for our other furry family members including a rabbit, 3 cats, hamster, lots of fish and a bearded dragon too. Needless to say we were so nervous because it’s a lot to ask but she did it all for 12 days AND took pics for us, giving us feedback everyday. She is a true gem and we are beyond grateful we found her before this trip. We will definitely be asking her for help again if we need it!! Thank you Wendy so very much! You truly are doing what you love and it shows. Do not hesitate to reach out to her. She is beyond amazing! She even cleaned some (vacuumed, shook rugs and mopped if needed) and put our trash out on trash day!!
Noemi was absolutely wonderful! I was nervous about leaving my dog because she can be anxious and has some behavioral quirks, but Noemi put me at ease almost immediately. She was patient, kind, attentive, and clearly took the time to get to know her. What I appreciated most was how great Noemi was about communicating with me. She sent regular updates and photos and told me how my dog was eating, sleeping, behaving, and settling in. I never had to wonder how things were going, and it was such a relief to see how comfortable and happy my dog was with her. Noemi also followed all of my care instructions and wasn’t afraid to ask a question when something came up, which I really appreciated. By the end of the stay, it was obvious that my dog had become very comfortable and attached to her. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and felt incredibly fortunate to have found Noemi. I would absolutely trust her to care for my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative pet sitter. ❤️
Hailey took good care of Rocco while I was away, and he was happy and well when I returned. She handled his care as instructed, communicated when needed, and gave me peace of mind during my trip. Overall, I appreciated her help and would recommend her to pet owners looking for someone who is kind and capable with their pets.
Nessa took excellent care of Rocco while I was away and gave me tremendous peace of mind throughout the trip. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly cared about his well-being. I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that Rocco was comfortable and happy with her. What I especially appreciated was her professionalism and responsiveness. Whenever I had a question, she addressed it immediately and thoughtfully. She was receptive to feedback and consistently put Rocco’s needs first. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and a well-cared-for house, which is exactly what every pet owner hopes for. Nessa was reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with from start to finish. I would absolutely book her again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Healdsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Healdsburg on Rover is $40.43 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 672 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Healdsburg. 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 Healdsburg 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 Healdsburg 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 Healdsburg 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 Healdsburg. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
