“Great as always! You can tell that Evelyn truly cares about animals and is passionate about making sure they are taken care of, and she doesnt mind the few quirks that comes along with a multi-pet household. Always arrives on time if not early and is very engaged with the animals and gives them lots of attention when I have 12 hour shifts. 10/10 would recommend Evelyn!”
“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.”
“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. ❤️”
“Annamaria is flexible, patient and adaptable! She made an international trip a breeze by taking care of my three rescues. I will definitely be rebooking. So grateful for her help.”

About: Hi, I’m Brittany Your Friendly Neighborhood Dog Walker! 🐾 Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. That’s why I treat every dog I walk with the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a relaxed stroll, I tailor each walk to their pace and personality. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts.

“Ruth did an excellent job caring for our fur babies. We had a dog that recently had surgery and we were concerned about leaving him alone. Ruth was able to also administer his medication. Our babies really enjoyed having her. You could tell how caring and attentive she was to them the moment she walked in the door.”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner with experience taking care of dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have experience in caring for dogs, including those who have medical issues. My own dog, Betty White, was a special needs chihuahua and she had a variety of medical issues. I administered her medications daily and made sure she had the best quality of life I could give her while she was here. I have been working as a pet/house sitter for the last 5 years via another website. I'm retired and while I do travel when I can, my schedule allows for availability during weekdays and weekends while I'm home. If drop ins or overnight stays are required, I will make sure to prioritize pet care into my regular routine. I do not plan on offering dog sitting in my home as my condominiums do not allow pets in the building unless they are service animals.

Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety.

Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
“We’ve used Rover now a dozen times and never felt less worried than when Taryn was at our house with our pups! She was extremely professional, personable, and just overall wonderful!! We loved the questions she asked and her attention to detail in looking after our fellas. She was able to administer medication for our one dog, gave us plenty of updates (with fun pics), and even kept our house just as we left it somehow! Taryn is absolutely our go-to sitter now and we couldn’t recommend her more!!”

“April takes such good care of my pets, I have 4 outdoor cars and 2 dogs. One of my dogs is high anxiety and, with April's help, we have found a system that works great (thunder jacket - April's idea! And vet prescribed medicine). She is consistent with the care, diligent in all the animals and the house. I'm grateful to have found her and highly recommend her.”
“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!”

She gave us peace of mind, we will be repeat clients from here on out!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Martinez is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $38 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,717 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Martinez. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
