About: I have always loved and cared about all animals. I currently own 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a tarantula, and fishes. I am currently a veterinary assistant student and will be pursuing a vet tech degree right after! I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family friends would let me walk their dog around the neighborhood. Although I don't own any dogs currently, on my free time i go to the san martin animal shelter and do doggy day out. I take dogs on a field trips out of the shelter whether it is a hike, a day at the beach, or just a walk at a park. I am currently not working during the summer and am taking only online classes, so I have enough time play with you pups or kittens! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection! My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
“We were completely at ease throughout Diane's time caring for our dogs and home. When we first connected, Diane was warm and responsive, and it was clear that she was someone who has a genuine love for animals. Diane did an incredible job caring for Annie, Charlie and Winston, WOW! She made sure the dogs were well exercised, happy, and had plenty of attention and affection. The most important thing Diane provided us was peace of mind. When we returned home, our home was calm and cared for, and we had three very happy pups! We would not hesitate to recommend Diane or to use her again for caring for our dogs or our home. She provides top-notch care, is reliable, thoughtful, and a person we would trust 100% to care for our home and pets. Thank you again Diane 💛”
“Eucalyptus was fantastic, she was so patient with everyone, took time to make sure all the dogs felt loved, kept up with all the routines, and made it the least stressful she could for everyone. Definitely will be using her services again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! The sitter was attentive and loving, taking my cockapoo puppy for delightful strolls in a stroller while ensuring my 6-year-old labradoodle was comfortable and happy. It was clear they genuinely cared for my pets, and I returned home to two very content dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.”
“This is my second time booking with Bri and would definitely love her to watch our babies again. She took great care of them while we were away for the weekend. The puppies and kitty were healthy and happy upon return.”
“Calvin was wonderful with my two big dogs. Took them for walks and play and take care of my puppy’s extra need. I could vacation without worry and I loved the daily update. Thanks Calvin!”
“Thank you so much for caring for Pliny. You went above and beyond. Thanks for walking her and playing with her, and helping her feel comfy while we were gone. And the special gift of framed pics was really sweet!”
“Our dogs loved Marie. She was very attentive to their needs and gave them extra attention. She was a great house guest during our trip. We will absolutely be booking with Marie again.”
“Our dogs loved Roselle! We came home to very happy dogs. Most importantly, the dogs were not stressed at all after we were gone a few days. After their initial excitement when we got home, they settled right in like we had never left. She gave them their medications and did everything according to our instructions with taking care of all three dogs as well as our house.”
“Becky was very responsive and communicative each day while we were away. She sent pictures and took very good care of our two dogs. We would highly recommend her and definitely request her again on our next trip away.”
“Maureen did a wonderful job of connecting with Speedy and taking care of him. Although he tends to be shy, he was affectionate and comfortable with her from the start. We loved hearing frequently from Maureen and seeing the daily pictures that she sent, which reassured us that Speedy was a happy kitty with her. She also took great care of our plants and home. Her warm and positive personality make her a joy to deal with. We will certainly want her to take care of Speedy during our future trips. Thank you, Maureen!!!”
“Miss Rachel was a dream housesitter! She made sure to get meticulous instructions on our dogs’ routines so they were as comfortable as possible, and we were able to rest easy on our vacation with daily updates knowing they were well taken care of. She was incredibly patient, especially with our elderly dog with special accommodations. Would highly recommend her and her little sidekick, and look forward to having them back for the next trip!”
“Coralee was absolutely incredible. She was very communicative and sent beautiful pictures. She really understood my sensitive baby, and he warmed up quickly to her and clearly felt comfortable and safe. Coralee also was patient and responsive when our travel plans got disrupted, and kept my baby company much later than we originally planned. I very highly recommend her.”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own two dogs and understand how important it is to provide pets with love, attention, and a consistent routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ve also helped care for friends’ pets and look forward to treating your furry family member like my own! I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule. During the school year, I take most of my classes remotely, which allows me to have plenty of availability for pet care. My only regular commitments are in the evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, but I’m flexible outside of those times. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility. I’m a reliable and attentive caregiver who will follow your pet’s routine, respect your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages
“Awesome service we’re very happy with the way everything went. Tiana was very communicative and sent us pictures. She took the dogs out for walks and fed them on time and gave them their medication and of course gave them all the lovin they needed while we were away. We were very happy with her service.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals. When I was 14, I begged my parents for a dog, and they finally gave in. I was so excited! I got another dog when I was 18. My first dog had some health issues, like inconsistent urination and alopecia, which helped me learn how to administer medication. In the past few years, I’ve been cat-sitting for family and friends, and I absolutely love spending time with cats during the day! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I work primarily in the evenings, which allows me to provide morning and daytime visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for overnight house sitting and can stay with your pets to help maintain their normal routine and provide comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they feel secure in their familiar environment. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have had pets my entire life and can't imagine living without them! I have two senior dogs (18 and 15 years old). I am recently retired and looking for a way to fill my days with more love while making a little money and getting more exercise. I am available ANYTIME during the week to care for your pets. I may assist on weekends occasionally; however, I like to spend most weekends with my amazing husband (who still works). I will make you and your pet my priority and will give them 100% of my attention and love. I am available anytime Monday - Friday (early morning to early evening). I am abundantly cautious and caring. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have two very old dogs, so I understand caring for senior pets as well as the young whippersnappers with puppy-energy!
“I truly can’t adequately describe how wonderful Cali is! She took excellent care of our dog Kuiper and he had the most wonderful time with her! Cali sent pictures and updates every day and was a great communicator throughout the booking and pet sitting process. She also took great care of our home as well and everything was spotless when we returned. There are not many people I would trust to take care of my best friend but Cali is definitely one of them. I highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Madrone on Rover is $39.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,687 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Madrone. 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 Madrone 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 Madrone 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 Madrone 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 Madrone. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
