“Nicole was very diligent in following the care instructions I left and went above and beyond when the unexpected came up. I was updated every day. She left the house in great shape when her stay was over. She has become my go-to pet sitter.”
“Thank you, Teadie, for taking such good care of our Imo. Your photos and frequent updates enabled us to really enjoy our vacation. Imo was very content upon our return and, we’re sure, would enjoy your sitting for him again!!! And thank you for taking care of the linen and towels…you didn’t need to do that, but it was very much appreciated!”
“Fantastic! We have two senior dogs (14 and 13) with special needs. One of them can't use his back legs, has bathroom accidents and is deaf. The other is losing his vision, has some leg weakness and is high anxiety. She visited beforehand and asked great questions. We were away for a week. Both dogs were comfortable and happy with Vicki. She was communicative and sent pictures with updates. We returned home to peaceful pets and the house as clean as when we left. I think the doggies were looking for Vicki when we got home. :) It was a blessing to be able to know they were in good hands while we were away for camping time as a family.”
“Jill is fantastic! This was our second time having her watch our pups while we were away. She took great care of them and our doggos love her. She sent lots of pictures, which we love seeing.”
“Robbie was nothing short of heaven sent! When we had to make last minute changes for our dogs’s care Robbie took the time to come over, get acclimated with our two large dogs and learn their routine to keep them comfortable as it was their first time with care from a sitter. When our flight was canceled due to a snow storm, she continued to show up for them and even took them out to play in the snow and sent us pics to keep our minds at ease. She was caring, respectful to our home and really went above and beyond in so many ways. You can tell she’s a real animal lover and we are so grateful she cared for our pups!”
“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”

“Sahari made us feel so comfortable in leaving our two dogs and home in her care. She was extremely thorough in asking questions about them and their different and specific needs. Our sheepdog is often very wary with new people and he took to Sahari right away. She handled the high energy and special medical needs of our other dog with compassion, kind boundaries and competent care. She went the extra mile in applying eye medications for our dog several times a day, keeping our home clean and gave us updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her!”
About: I currently cat and dog sit regularly for my parents and for my girlfriends pets when they are away. I have experience dog sitting multiple dogs and love being active with all animals. I am currently on summer break until classes start, once they do schedule may change. Currently I have very open availability, typically get my day started at 9:30am and love being active throughout the day. Pet friendly apartment and neighborhood. I will follow all safety precautions and instructions given. I have a walking path around my apartment. There is a lot of space for pets to roam around.
About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!
About: I have experience with being around animals since I’ve been 5 years old. I have two dogs of my own and three cats as well. I will make sure the animals are comfortable, loved and taken care of properly. I am patient, caring, and have high energy. I am big on play time and walks and making sure they get their exercise for the day. I have walked dogs before and also provided in house care for several of my neighbors and close family friends. I really do enjoy being around animals and find it very relaxing. I’m a college student and can be very stressed at times so getting to play with an animal really is something I look forward to. Thank you (: On a daily basis I am always making sure my animals are fed, getting play time in, cuddles and more! They are so important to me! Making sure my pets always have water and their litter box is clean on a daily basis. I always ensure they get little extra treats throughout the day as well as cuddles!
“David took care of my dog and diabetic kitty this past weekend. He listened to all my concerns with my cat’s diabetes and took great care of him! And he also took great care of my large and energetic dog. Thank you!!”
“Jalynn was amazing! She took great care of our dog who has separation anxiety due to us moving across the country and our dog was so comfortable with her while we were out for the day for work. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Maddy was incredible!! I felt so comfortable having her at our home. She took pictures everyday and kept us updated with how our pups were doing. We have 3 crazy dogs and she handled them all with ease. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Eric took such great care of my two dogs for the week I was out of town. He was so kind and understanding when my flight got cancelled and stayed with them. I highly recommend him. I don’t leave my dogs with just anyone and he was incredible with them.”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My family has only ever had cats or dogs, but I have had the opportunity to care for cats, dogs, bunnies, snakes, and more! I’ve had and cared for young puppies and kittens to senior pets, and enjoy caring for all animals. I am a teacher on Summer break and would love the opportunity to help care for your pets while you are busy or away! Please feel free to ask about availability, right now I am very flexible! :) I am a teacher who is on summer break so I currently have a flexible schedule. This means I can drop by to care for pets as needed throughout the day! While I do have pets at home, I am currently renting and unable to board any pets in my house. Instead, I am able to offer drop in services or dog walking! I also am a very active person and would love the opportunity to bring your dog on a run or a hike (with your permission of course)! I am available to stop by for multiple walks/play sessions throughout the day. I have experience with caring for animals overnight as well as housekeeping while pet owners are away. Please let me know if you’d prefer me to do drop-ins during the day or need me to stay overnight for your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,969 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marycrest. 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 Marycrest 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 Marycrest 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 Marycrest 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 Marycrest. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
