“Laura was an excellent communicator and seemed to really care about our pets. We appreciate the photos and the well-being of our house upon our return. Pets seem happy and so are we. Thank you!”
“Cera is truly amazing. She met with me and my cat, Bish, before confirming the booking to ensure everyone was on the same page. I received regular text and pic updates throughout my trip away. She’s a vet assistant, which meant that she managed to give my cat his medicine—this is not an easy task with my cat! She did more than stop in and make sure Bish was fed. She spent a lot of time keeping him engaged (playing, working on his tricks, etc.) and happy. 20/10”
“Rebecca has watched our home and pup a few times and she’s been phenomenal! She goes above and beyond to accommodate for our doggo and make sure all is set while we are gone. 10/10 recommends her to anyone that asks!”
“Delishia is so so incredible and caring. She stayed at my house and provided care for my two dogs, one of which was extremely fearful of strangers. She was patient with him, and got him to open up to her by the end of our trip. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are going on a trip and have any pets that need taking care of. She goes above and beyond, while I was out of town, a board in my fence broke and she went to the store to repair it without being asked. So so so incredible I hope you choose her if able!!”
“I’ve never left my 2 dogs with just anyone ever. They’re both 11 years old. Meet Sierra…….who I couldn’t have asked for better to care for my 2 special needs dogs(diabetics). Knowing my boys were well cared for made our trip that much more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be rebooking for future vacations.”
“Emmarose was amazing! She went above and beyond for our pup to ensure maximum comfort and safety. Her communication was excellent and frequent which eased our worry while we were gone. Her love and passion for animals was clear and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We will rebook for future needs!”
“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!”
“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).”
“Kayla did an amazing job with my two dogs. She administered medication accurately and made sure my digs were comfortable will I was away. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worry. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals, from growing up around ranch animals to becoming a reliable friend and coworker people trust with their pets. I have experience with both high-energy animals and pets that need a gentler approach, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and overall comfort. Creating a calm, clean, and safe environment is always a priority. I’m especially patient with shy or sensitive cats and take the time to earn their trust at their own pace, always following each owner’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. With a background in the military providing medical care, caring for others comes naturally to me, whether it be a service member or your furry family member. I’m dependable, attentive, and communicate clearly so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I genuinely care about what I do, and that doesn’t change from one home to the next. I work weekday mornings until early afternoon (0730/1400) and maintain reliable availability for check-ins, walks, and overnight care. My weekends are fully open for flexible scheduling. I’m prompt, detail-oriented, and committed to following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and environment, whether I’m caring for them in their home or elsewhere. I keep spaces clean, safe, and comfortable, and I treat each space with respect from home to home which will never change. I follow instructions closely, pay attention to behavior and comfort, and keep things calm and consistent while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously when caring for both your pet and your home.
“Jayden was a life saver! She hosted Miley last minute. She arrived to our location literally 20min after the booking. She is very sweet, polite and excellent communicator. My husband and I really appreciate you and your time.”
“Leandra took such good care of our two cats! I was so happy to see pictures and videos of our cats getting all the cuddles they wanted over the three weeks she was with them. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing the cats were getting excellent and thoughtful care. ❤️”
“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.”
About: I have 5 years experience in the veterinarian field. I currently work at Herbst Vet clinic in Boerne,Tx. I take care of dogs everyday at work and I will always ensure that your fur baby’s safety is first. I am available to sit your fur baby’s on weekends and holidays. I work and go to school so my availability will begin on Fridays throughout the weekend, I am available Tuesday’s and Thursday as well! I have worked with all kinds of cats and dogs with my veterinary experience so I can accommodate to any special needs your pet may have.
“Kelsie hid a great job taking care of our dog. He is big and can be challenging and managed his with ease! She even watered our plants while we were gone and sent us pictures of our boy everyday. She was great at communicating! We will certainly use her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve had dogs for over 14 years and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines — reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care — whether it’s keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust they’ll be in caring, responsible hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm! Definitely flexible and willing to work with you as long as we can communicate! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to medications — and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Martinez
We had an amazing experience with Cera and would absolutely book her again! She stayed at our home while we were out of town and took exceptional care of all of our pets. She sent plenty of thoughtful updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One thing that really stood out was how attentive she was to our elderly cat’s medical needs. She administered his inhaler exactly as instructed and followed every detail of our care instructions to a tee. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and takes her responsibilities seriously. When we returned home, the house was spotless and everything was exactly as we had left it. Cera is kind, detail-oriented, professional, and incredibly reliable. We felt completely comfortable trusting her with both our pets and our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate!
Rebecca was lovely! She took such good care of our boys during our recent trip. And from the pictures she sent, it was clear they had a great time. Her communication was fantastic, the dogs were super happy, and the house was cleaner than when we left! We will definitely rebook with Rebecca for our future travels.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Martinez
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Martinez on Rover is $29.07 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 1,723 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Martinez. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
