“Josephine was AWESOME!! She communicated and sent pictures of the kitties while we were gone. Our kitties seemed very much at ease when we got home. Josephine left our house spotless when she left. I hope she can stay with our kitties whenever we’re outta town!”
“Mayan was absolutely fantastic. Bonded so well with our dogs, played with them and handled all their needs. She took great care of our house and cleaned before leaving. Best ever!”
“Christopher is a true dog lover and I feel fortunate to have found him to take care of my pack whenever I’m not around. I have a lot of attendant anxiety when trying to pair my dogs with a suitable sitter- for no other reason than that they need a lot of exercise and ask for a lot of attention. Christopher alleviated every ounce of attendant stress experienced by leaving my dogs in someone’s care. He took my dogs on outings, updated me with charming photos and was completely unflappable when it came to managing two high energy and young labs along with a corgi who needs to herd everyone to feel fulfilled. On top of all of this, Christopher took excellent care of my home- maybe even leaving it cleaner than I did for him. 5 stars for Christopher, absolutely!”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”
“Rosemary was wonderful! She was very kind, and affectionate towards my dog. She spent a few days with her, and I could tell my Bella was happy and well taken care of when I returned. Very trustworthy and friendly!!!”
“Berenice is absolutely wonderful, kind, youthful and fun to walk my dog and play with her or just chill and watch movies with her in our hotel room while I went out to lunch and wineries and dinner. Berenice personality is SO kind, gentle and loving to my dog! Wish she lived in Los Angeles I would hire her weekly for walking . 10 stars ⭐️ ! Thanks Berenice”

“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”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, my mom would baby sit neighbor’s dog all throughout my childhood, so I learned how to care for them from an early age. I’ve had an xl yellow lab for 8 years named Hiro. He is my whole world. I am especially skilled in taking care of large and xl dogs. Big dogs do not phase me, in fact I love them! I am a college student, but I have a ton of free time. I am free almost every weekend and most week days. My time is very flexible. I feel the best way to care for animals is to show them tons of love and attention. With my dog I usually walk him twice a day and make sure he gets a lot of time outside. I am very accustomed to the lifestyle of a high energy dog.
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.
“Michele is awesome! She is extremely pleasant and very responsive, her calendar is up to date, and she provided ongoing updates throughout her stay with our dog Bebe. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our home and dog with her and we plan to utilize Michele for ongoing trips.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m an HR professional by trade, but outside of work I’m a devoted dog and cat mom and lifelong animal lover. I recently moved from Sacramento to Sonoma County with my two rescue dogs and am excited to connect with fellow pet parents in the community. Dogs have always been such an important part of my life—not just as pets, but as family. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs, fostered pups, and helped friends and family care for theirs. One of my favorite experiences was working at the Sacramento SPCA for about a year, which deepened my appreciation for every dog’s unique personality and reinforced how meaningful quality pet care can be. When your pet is with me, my goal is simple: I want them to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, extra snuggles, or a slower pace, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. Life gets busy—whether you’re traveling, working long hours, managing family life, or just need an extra hand—and I’d love to help make things easier while giving your fur baby the attention they deserve. Big or small, energetic or laid back, I can’t wait to meet your best friend.
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Larkfield-Wikiup is $75
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Larkfield-Wikiup
Leaving a pet behind while traveling is never easy, but Josephine made the experience completely stress-free. She was a fantastic house sitter who took wonderful care of my dog, Emma, and kept me updated with regular messages while I was in Germany. Beyond being great with pets, she also tended to my garden during my two-week absence. If you are looking for someone reliable and attentive, I cannot recommend Josephine highly enough!
We could not have asked for a better house and pet sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pets were in such caring, capable hands. Communication was excellent — we received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made us feel connected while away. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals. Natasha’s level of professionalism, reliability, kindness, and genuine care was truly exceptional. She really went above and beyond for us and managed everything so well. We would absolutely recommend Natasha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their home and pets. Five stars is not enough — she exceeded every expectation, and we will happily book her again in a heartbeat.
Jay did a wonderful job caring for our fur family over the Christmas holiday. Our dog is special needs, and Jay navigated her care expertly. We were really pleased with his communication, and he left our home just how we left it. We would love to work with Jay again and trust he will do a good job.
Camryn is AMAZING! Harold and I are so glad we found her 🐶 she came to dog sit my eight week old puppy at my house. It was the first time I left him alone and I was really nervous. She was very instant instantly calming and very knowledgeable about puppies! I immediately feel comfortable, leaving and had zero stress. That is everything! Looking forward to seeing camryn again and I know Harold is too 😍
Emilie is reliable, communicative and goes above and beyond to care for your pet. She came by the house ahead of time to be sure she was clear about expectations and sent updates while I was away. She was trustworthy, dependable and kind to my dog while I was away and it helped me ease the anxiety I had with leaving him home. I recommend Emilie and will call her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Larkfield-Wikiup
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Larkfield-Wikiup on Rover is $40.52 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 894 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Larkfield-Wikiup. 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 Larkfield-Wikiup 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 Larkfield-Wikiup 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 Larkfield-Wikiup 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.
