“Michael is the best! He went above and beyond in caring for my dogs and for my home. I felt 1000x better about leaving my babies while I traveled because I knew they were with Michael. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Sophia is literally the best! She stayed here at my house for a week while I was on a cruise with my family! She has been working with my dog King to help him with his anxiety. She is so sweet and has brought King little gift and stuff to help with the training process. If you need someone to care for your pets Sophia is your girl. Thank you Sophia for coming today and spending the day with him.”

“Kayla was great. From the start I felt comfortable with her, she makes the effort to meet with you and your pet beforehand and keeps you updated while away. I will for sure be using her services in the future.”
“This was our second time having Jayden watch Mars, and once again, the experience was absolutely fantastic. Mars is an incredibly affectionate dog who demands constant love and attention, and she completely matched her energy. It can be tough to find a sitter who truly leans into a velcro-dog's need for endless cuddles and playtime, but she made Mars feel like the center of the universe the entire time. Throughout the stay, I received wonderful updates and photos showing Mars looking completely content and showered with affection. It brings so much peace of mind knowing I can leave my dog with someone who genuinely loves and understands her personality. Jayden is officially our go-to sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for attentive, top-tier pet care!”
“Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!”
“Good service: Good communication and promptness, excellent rates, and my dog seemed pleased. I’ll definitely use Soraya again if needed in that area (probably in 2 months from now).”
“We are so grateful for Jill! She stepped in last minute to care for our two dogs and cat over the holidays, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. From the moment we met her, we could tell she was kind, professional, and truly passionate about animals. Our pets were well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we returned. Jill kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out next time we need a sitter!”

About: Hi! My name is Briannah Fritzinger, I am 21 and I'm a full-time at-home pet sitter here in Selma, Texas. I am currently pursuing pet sitting full-time, so your pets will have a calm, present, and attentive caregiver with them throughout the day. I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals like hamsters, fish, and lizards . I'm comfortable with handling puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need medication or extra patience. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks, with potty breaks every 2-4 hours and lots of photo updates. I am available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, from 8am to 5pm for scheduled care, with extended availability for boarding and emergencies. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 4 cats of my own, so my day is built around feeding, cleaning, and playtime. I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins, walks, and overnights during the week and on weekends. In your home, I keep your pet's routine exactly the same — feeding times, walks for dogs, habitat temps and humidity checks, as well as safe handling for all. As well as litter box cleanings.I do a meet-and-greet first to learn their setup, emergency contacts, and vet info, and I always keep doors, gates, and enclosures secured. In my home, I only board cats. I have a clean, cat-friendly space with 4 of my own cats. Boards would be separate from my cats and have their own clean space and environment to be in!

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
