“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.”
“Laura is my go to sitter. She does a wonderful job and my pets like her. She is really communicative and follows the directions I lay for her. I would recommend her and will definitely book her again! 😊”
“We chose Sierra to provide in-home dog sitting services for our first use of Rover. She came to meet us a couple of weeks ahead of our travel, and spent time answering questions about her knowledge and experience caring for puppies. She also asked us questions about our preferences for their care, and for her use of our home. By the end of the visit, we felt far more comfortable with our decision. During our trip, Sierra kept us informed about her schedule, how the puppies were doing, and sent us photos of them. It was clear from the way she talked about them that she genuinely cared for them, and was taking excellent care of them. Upon returning home, we found the home and our puppies in good shape, with minimal cleaning needed (I should note that we have very high standards for cleanliness). Overall, we were very impressed with Sierra. She was very friendly and personable while also being very professional and responsive. We would gladly use her to care for our puppies again when we travel.”
“Megan was so attentive to my girl. Looking after an older dog needs some tenderness that she offered in spades. Great communication to boot. Very grateful and will book her again.”
“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. ❤️”
“Grey was great! Respectful to our home but most importantly respectful to our pup! Sent regular updates and went above and beyond. We travel often so we will be using Grey again in the future! Highly recommend! We came home to a happy and healthy pup!”

“Evelyn was nothing short of amazing! She took care of two crazy GSPs and made sure they were happy and healthy. One of ours needed medication and special attention while we were away and it did not phase her at all. Would recommend to anyone!”

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.
Rebecca is always amazing with our dog Rocco. She is great about updates and sends photos regularly. I trust her with our pup and in our home and will continue to rebook with her over and over! Rocco loves his time with her and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter who will love and care for your pet!
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 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 1,730 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.
