“Morgane did a great job house-sitting for our two dogs. I think her experience especially spoke for itself by the great questions ahead of the visit that helped us fill in gaps we were missing in our original instructions. Morgane took great care of the dogs, great care of the house, and we would have no reservations recommending her to friends or family and would hapilly book her again in the future.”
About: I've been taking care of cats, dogs, and koi since I was a kid. I am very knowledgeable about giving animals medication, walks, affection, playtime, and wet/dry food. I have always had love and compassion for all animals big or small. Whether it's an injured animal stuck in the middle of the road or a dog without it's owner, I always try my best to care for animals even if they aren't mine. I am available for daily drop-ins and overnights. I am always happy to discuss your specific needs and to make accommodations in accordance to your schedule. I always ensure my pets and the animals I care for get fresh food and water on a regular schedule. I regularly clean after my pets whether it's the litterbox or the backyard. Even when accidents happen I always make sure to keep their environment safe and clean. When it comes to exercise and play, walking my dog is no sweat and playing with my cats is always fun even for me. Finally, there is no shortage of affection when it comes to me. I love giving animals pets or gentle scritches. I can also read an animals body language when it comes to wanting space as well.
“Katelyn was an awesome house sitter for our dog and cat! Our animals immediately liked her. She was super responsive and reliable and sent us photos during her stay. Thank you Katelyn!”
About: Since I was a child I have taken care of the family dog. They are like family to me. I have worked at a dog spa since May of 2025 so that I have experience on handling dogs. I can bathe your dogs and brush them but not groom them. I love animals like family. I also take care of my sister’s golden retriever when she’s away on trips. I work Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-6:15pm so on my work days I can house sit your pets, take them for walks and take care of them after work and my days off I’m available anytime. I have a cat at home who is spoiled. Every day she gets groomed, loved and cuddled with. She couldn’t be more happier. I even have a filtered water fountain for my car to drink out of I clean every two weeks. I enjoy cleaning her food bowl every morning and give her dental treats to make her gums and teeth healthy. When it comes to clients pets I’d do the same as if they were my own pet very loved and spoiled. When I had my family dog she was very loved and spoiled as well. Every day do walk her, brush her, feed her and cuddle with her making the happiest dog she can be. All animals I treat equally.
“Ava is a genuinely nice person who clearly loves dogs. She is reliable and very good with communication When she arrived she quickly bonded with both dogs. She sent updates and pictures during the day so that we did not worry at all when she was sitting our dogs. We will definitely have Ava on the top of our list for sitting in the future”
“Bronte did a great job watching my two dogs over night. She left everything in order at the house and the dogs really liked her from the moment she came through the door. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Jacqueline was great with our two Great Danes over the holiday break. She communicated very well and sent pictures of our girls every couple days! We definitely recommend her and look forward to rebooking her in the future!”
“Elika is wonderful. She takes such good care of my pup Finn, all my plants (and there are a lot), and the home -- leaving everything as good if not better than when I left. I highly recommend her services.”
“Gina was wonderful with our new puppy for a weekend home stay. She was courteous, professional, and provided multiple updates. Very thoughtful and treated our house with respect. We can’t wait to book Gina again!”
About: I have been a pet sitter for many years starting when I was 12 where I was puppy training and house sitting twice a week for 3 years. I love animals but I am allergic to cats so I will need to know about cats before hand. My schedule is available daily from 7-2pm or after 5pm most days. I am taking classes but other than that I am free Monday-Saturday . I love playing with animals taking them on walks, playing with toys and teaching them tricks if I can. I consider myself an athletic person so I mostly would spend my time taking the animal on walks if I can.
“Ashley was amazing!! This was our first time using rover so we were a little nervous to have someone stay at our home with our pup but Ashley made this a stress free, reassuring experience! She came over beforehand to meet our dog and ask questions. Once we were gone, she had great communication, sent pictures of our dog, and left a note letting us know how the boarding went at our house. We strongly recommend her! Thank you again, Ashley!”
About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for over 30 years, and I understand that our pets are truly members of the family. Whether they’re playful, affectionate, independent, shy, or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. I have extensive personal experience caring for both dogs and cats and appreciate their unique personalities and needs. From energetic dogs who love attention and companionship to independent cats who prefer affection on their own terms, I enjoy building trust and helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a registered nurse, I bring an additional level of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m experienced in following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or well-being. I understand how especially important this can be for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide the same warmth, respect, and attentiveness I would want for my own pets, while keeping you connected through regular updates, photos, and open communication. Whether your furry family member needs companionship, playtime, reassurance, or simply a calm and caring presence, I would love the opportunity to get to know them! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care around each animal’s individual needs. I enjoy peaceful environments, spending time with animals, and maintaining familiar routines. I believe consistency and companionship make a meaningful difference in helping pets feel comfortable while their families are away. I prefer to discuss each pet’s schedule, personality, and care requirements in advance so I can make sure we’re a wonderful fit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and entrust them with a beloved family member. As a registered nurse, I’m accustomed to maintaining safe environments, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to changes that may require additional care or communication. I respect each household’s routines, boundaries, and preferences. I take care to maintain a clean, peaceful environment, secure doors and gates, and follow feeding, medication, and household instructions carefully. I believe in open communication and will provide updates and photos throughout our time together. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and a home that has been treated with care and respect.
“Erik was both proactive and responsive, and most importantly, he loved and took great care of our dog and house. He handled things independently, but was also a great communicator. We can’t wait to invite him back!”
“Andi is an absolutely wonderful sitter and just all-around great person! Unfortunately our dog was pretty sick while we were away and she handled the whole situation with so much thought & care - as if it was her own dog that was unwell. She brought our sweet girl to the emergency vet and made sure we were updated with texts & photos the whole time we were away. Everything turned out OK with our dog, thanks to Andi's care and attention. We are so appreciative of her and hope to book her again the next time we are away.”
“Our dogs were so happy to Cecilia again! As always she’s amazing and Eva and Bella got tons of cuddles and love and were well take care of. Cecilia is great at communicating and sent lots of updates and photos.”
“Miriam took excellent care of our two dogs, Beca and Jett. She kept us updated by sending frequent photos of the doggums and responded immediately to emails. I would recommend Miriam without any hesitation.”
“My dog adores Laura. She shows up as planned and takes good care of my apartment and my dog. I’ve already had her watch my dog on three separate occasions and will continue to book her.”

Amanda is the best dog-sitter one could hope for! She understands and loves dogs. Very importantly, on each and every occasion we've had her watch Ollie, she is punctual (often a few minutes early!), and her communication to lock in a date, as well as communication and great photos while she is with our dog is exactly what we want. Our dog quickly grew attached to her and we look forward to having Amanda dog-sit whenever we are in the area.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Healdsburg is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
