“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.”
“Laura was caring and loving to our cats while on vacation. She communicated quickly and we came home to our cats happy and healthy. We would have her watch our cats again in the future! 🩷🐈🐈⬛”
“Cera was amazing! Super sweet and my fur babies loved her. She kept us updated. We were nervous leaving our fur babies and house in someone else’s hands. We have never had someone dog/house sit and we never used Rover but she was awesome and we came home to happy babies and our house left on one piece! She was GREAT. Highly recommended!”
“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.”

“Sierra took great care of my four rescues! She gave the dogs their meds and baths, fed all, cleaned the litter box daily, took the dogs for two walks a day, and even incorporated some raw food into one of my dog’s diets. She kept in touch, and sent photos too. I highly recommend her!”

“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.”
About: I have been an ongoing volunteer at the Animal Defense League of San Antonio since I was about 9 y/o, taking the dogs on walks and socializing the cats and kittens. I have thorough knowledge and experience with raising and fostering kittens, as well as dogs just under 1y/o. I've owned and fostered cats and dogs at varying life stages, throughout my entire life as well. Along with having shadowed a few dog trainers, I am knowledgeable and confident in my ability to care for our sweet, little, fur-babies. Currently, I am in-between jobs, so I as long as I have about a day's heads-up, I'm usually free pretty much any day to care for you furry friend. I perfer to start my work day around afternoon to late afternoon, though morning time isn't a deal-breaker. After meeting and getting acquainted with your fur-baby, I'd appreciate it if, after being told everything you want me to be aware of your pet, you were to also write down detailed notes about your pet's daily routine; feeding times, what food/treats they are and aren't allowed to comsue, common behaviors, what they're allowed and aren't allowed to do around the house, any necessary medications (if any), etc.
“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 have always had pets, specifically indoor dogs and cats. I also have 2 years experience as a kennel tech at a boarding/grooming facility where I worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, rabbits and other small mammals. I am comfortable with any size dog and most temperaments. Each dog deserves care and attention, I am well aware that certain breeds have more difficult personality traits (and for good reason, too!) so just let me know what your dog needs and I will accommodate. Regarding dog walks: I am not currently booking for dog walks due to a torn ligament in my ankle. I am still capable of drop ins, boarding, etc. as I am healing, but walks are on hiatus for a few weeks! I am stable/sturdy - just in a boot. I work full time but am available after 5pm on weekdays. I do have a flexible schedule so if you need something, I may be able to accommodate if I can work from home! I have open availability on the weekends. As someone with kennel tech experience, I am very comfortable crating dogs and taking them for walks, playing as much as they want, and adjusting to their specific needs. I also have experience administering medication, both oral and injections.
“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. ❤️”
“Sydney was awesome! She came for a meet and greet and was ready to take on all of my doggies needs. While we were away she sent pictures when I asked and overall communicated great. When we got back from our trip Bella seemed very happy and healthy. I would definitely recommend Sydney if you’re looking for a sitter for your pet!”

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.

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.
