“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”
“Evelyn exceeded my expectations! Kahlua and Jameson warmed up to her quickly. She took the cutest pictures of my fur babies and kept me up to date. This kept my mind at ease while I was away, I will be rebooking with her again!”
“Leandra took great care of our pup and kitty and home! She was very flexible with our schedule changes and followed our very specific instructions we left as well as sent many updates to ease us since this was our first getaway leaving the babies behind.

While currently also shadowing a very experienced and accredited dog trainer, I am definitely confident in my ability to provide extra care and love for your sweet, fur-babies.

I perfer to start my work day around afternoon to late afternoon, though morning time isn't a deal-breaker. I want your pet to experience the least amount of stress possible (especially during the first couple visits), so I try to stick to their daily routine as much as I can. For walks, I am quite comfortable walking bigger dogs that may come across as a lot to handle, despite being of a smaller stature. I have experience with training arduous or physically demanding dogs to walk beautifully on the leash also. As for drop-in visits and sitting, I will always stick to the schedule you provide and the safety and well-being of your pet will always be my top priority.

“Jennifer did amazing. I had a family emergency and need to leave town she responded quickly and jumped right in to house/puppy sit. Within the first few hours, I could tell Winnie was in good hands. I had so much going on I didn’t have time to check on her, but I didn’t even worry. I knew she was taking care of. Jennifer went above and beyond she took care of my puppy and was respectful of my place. I highly recommend her and I definitely will be choosing her again.”
“Kelsie was an amazing dog sitter! I got her recommendation from my neighbor, and I can see why. She took great care of my fur babies and gave me frequent updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease. I could enjoy my time knowing they were in good hands. My husband was also impressed with how easily the pups adapted to her. I highly recommend Kelsie to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Kelsie! Until next time ☺️”
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”
About: I have 3 dachshunds so I love spending time with big personalities in little bodies. I have walked dogs for neighbors and house sat throughout the year for a 100 lb dog and cat. I’m currently looking for work so I’m available to walk and care for sweet babies needing help throughout the day. My dogs are good hosting other small dogs after getting to know them. I have a fully fenced backyard with a dog door built into the screen door which makes going in and out easy. Throughout the day they have free reign in and out and in the living room
About: Hi! I'm Victoria! I've had dogs since I was about 15 and I'm proud to say that I’ve raised two puppies and loved many shelter dogs as well!

“We were in town for work and really wanted to bring our 16 weeknold Cavapoo with us as we just adopted him. We reached out to Ashley before arriving in San Antonio to ensure she had availability. We read reviews of various sitters and decided on Ashley. Upon I still contact right up to picking up our fur son, we felt comfortable. She was very accommodating and had a wonderful vide from initial contact up to when we picked up our puppy. We definitely will use her again if we are in town again. If she lived by us, we would hire her a a lot!”
About: I grew up in a home that had a lot of pets & am comfortable with different animals. We had dogs, cats, birds, fish, mice, a rat, chameleons, rabbits & turtles. I was taught to love & respect animals. My belief is that pets are important family members & deserve TLC. I currently have 2 senior cats & a betta fish. My oldest cat is 17 & I have had her from 6 weeks old & she is still going strong. I have traveled by plane multiple times to do long term pet sitting for people because they trusted me in their home. I follow caregiver recipes & am willing to cook special dietary meals for dogs & cats while home sitting. I have thrown fur babies birthday parties with hats, presents & birthday “cake.” I send daily photos & videos so you have peace of mind that your fur baby is happy & healthy in your absence. I go the extra mile to take care of furry family members while they’re in my care. I have a small home based business, so I have the flexibility to give to your family member the time & attention they need. I start my day early. I believe in daily walks for active dogs, scooping litter boxes daily & set meal & snack times. Play & affection is an important part of animal enrichment so we will have lots of play time & snuggling. We will send you pictures & I am also willing to FT so you can have a quick chat with your fur baby. All animals need attention, care & play to truly thrive. Your family member will be welcome & treated like extended family while they are with me. I have extensive experience with animals & know how to respect their personal boundaries & when to give attention. I like to keep things tidy & am punctual. I have no problem vacuuming daily for medium or long hair breeds. I do scheduled feedings, walks for active dogs, daily litter box cleaning, snuggles & pets, grooming & playtime for pets to be healthy & happy. I will send pics & videos as often as you request & will FT weekly while your fur baby is in my care. I am happy to care for your pet and home as if it were my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Martinez
Over the last couple years that Megan has house sat for us, she has taken care of my Longhorn Steer, numerous donkeys and dozens of guineas fowl (adults, incubated eggs, and nurtured newly hatched keets). Oh, and I almost forgot the three dogs. Bottom line is that Megan is an awesome caretaker who always steps up when something needs to be done! I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Everything went great! I chose boarding in my home for my 1 dog and 2 cats. My husband and I had to go out of town for 3 days and we’re so happy to have found Samantha! She followed instructions, sent us plenty of photos, and gave love and attention to all of our animals so they didn’t get lonely! She gave us peace of mind, we will be repeat clients from here on out!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Martinez on Rover is $30.12 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,732 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Martinez. 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 Martinez 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 Martinez 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 Martinez 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.

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.
