“I've got to say that Jo is a rare find. She provided exceptional service. We have two dogs and three cats, and she managed our house while we were away with Grace and with ease! We were completely at peace. We look forward to future opportunities to work together.”
“We trust Scarlett with our dog Lola so much! She takes such great care of her, and sends detailed updates during her stay. Our home is always spotless when we return as well. We appreciate how great of a Rover Scarlett is!!”
“This was the first time we used Rover to pet sit our senior pup, Verbena, so we were slightly nervous (me more than my partner). We can't say enough good things about Kristina. She communicated and sent updates/pictures very often, making the experience so much easier for us. Kristina took excellent care of Verbena and catered to all her quirks (she's an old lady). She also took care of the house. There is no doubt we will be using Kristina in the future.”
“Jed was an ideal house sitter and dog watcher, and excellent communicator. He set us at ease when he came for the meet and greet, asked great questions about the home and dogs, and set solid expectations, which he ultimately exceeded! He kept us up to date with pics of our dogs, collected our mail, left the house spotless, did some extra cleaning for us, and of course took dogs for walks and spent lots of time with them. Everyone was thrilled, thanks Jed.”
“Gemma housesat for me for 3 days/2 nights, watching my blind dog and senior cat. My dog requires a fair bit of attention, not only for his blindness but also for the impact of his long-term, high dose of daily prednisone. She took him on slow walks and played his special version of ball. All animals seemed happy and well-cared for when I returned. Gemma also did an amazing job of cleaning everything that she and the animals had used, including when the animals had accidents (I'm sure it was cleaner than how my husband had left it!). I would definitely hire Gemma again.”
“Hannah was very communicative during my time away, letting me know everything going on with my pups along with pictures. I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Bri was fantastic! Our pup Tater Tot got sick and Bri did a great job supporting him, ensuring we had all the details in case we needed to relay them to the vet, cleaning up after his tummy issues and more. Would absolutely recommend”
“Adam was available for a last minute booking which was greatly appreciated. He kept my older dog company, giving him breaks in the yard during a rather warm day. We look forward to the next time Adam can take care of Harper! Thanks so much!”
“Julie is wonderful! She’s very organized, proactive, and clearly loves dogs. She even suggested meeting beforehand to go over all the details, which I really appreciated. My puppy was very calm and comfortable with her, and it was clear he really enjoyed her company. Julie is also incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
About: After graduating from UC Davis this spring, Mai spent the summer in Santa Barbara house-sitting for 165 lb Leonberger with special needs. I cared for him by administering medication, feeding, and walking him daily. I have a senior Chihuahua of my own! Jennifer currently is a cat and dog mom to a 7 year old domestic shorthair who we took in as a kitten & a 2 year old Samoyed! I’ve always had an affinity for animals and loved taking care of them. I grew up with a doberman, german shepherd, and yorkshire terrier. I also had a few fish and hamsters! Unfortunately, they are no longer with us but I would love to continue extending my love for animals to your pets ❤️ Rest assured your fur babies are in great hands with me :) Hi! We’re Jennifer and Mai- animal loving sisters who would love the honor of taking care of your pets! Jennifer work full time remotely but is flexible and can check in on your fur babies weekdays or weekends to drop in on your furry loved ones! Mai is a recent graduate and a lifelong animal lover! With a flexible schedule, she’s available for morning and evening drop-ins making it easy to give your pets the attention they need. I will take great care of your babies in your home (or mine). I have extensive experience with drop ins and will follow your care list as needed :)
“Maddie was terrific! We had a last minute cancellation of our regular dog sitter, Maddie was able to make an adjustment and care for our dogs while we were out of town for a weekend. The dogs definitely adored her, she sent numerous updates and photos along the way. One of our dogs is a senior, she has a couple medications and play restrictions. Maddie did a great job caring for her special needs. Our home was left in great condition as well, we will definitely schedule Maddie again and highly recommend her.”
“I used Grace for housesitting my dog for a few days while I was out of town. Got lots of photos and videos. The dog was well cared for and the house too. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Chloe took great care of my cattle dog who can be intense. She gave me a detailed summary of their night which I really appreciated. I would be happy to use her services again in the future.”
“Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!”
“Ryan and Maria were exemplary house and dog sitters. We left our young shelter dog with separation anxiety with them at our house for a week. They were affectionate with her and continued our training practices. They sent frequent photos and updates. We had total confidence in them and will use them again.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been a dedicated cat parent for over 12 years, and I currently take care of my own two cats, Tongtong and Pepper. I don't have a formal veterinary background, but my experience comes from years of real, hands-on care. I’ve raised cats through all stages of life, including senior cats who need extra patience and a strict daily routine. I know firsthand how stressful it is to leave a pet who needs special attention, and I'm here to give you peace of mind. Through years of caring for my own pets, I am highly experienced and comfortable with: 1. Caring for senior cats and adjusting to their pace 2. Giving daily medications (pills or liquids) 3. Syringe feeding and ensuring proper hydration 4. Basic post-op wound care and daily hygiene (like cleaning feline acne) My goal is to treat your pets exactly how I treat my own: with patience, love, and a close eye on their routine. I will send you plenty of updates so you can travel with zero worries. I'd love to help out! I work independently from home, which means my schedule is incredibly flexible. Whether your pet needs early morning medication, a mid-day check-in, or late evening feeding, I can easily adapt to their normal routine. I have reliable transportation and am available on both weekdays and weekends. My goal is to keep your pet's schedule as normal and disruption-free as possible while you are away. Since I have my own two cats at home, I strictly provide care in your home (drop-in visits or house sitting). This keeps your pets stress-free in their familiar environment. When visiting your home, my safety priorities are: 1. Strictly following your exact feeding and medication instructions. 2. Double-checking that all doors and windows are securely locked before I leave. 3. Keeping their feeding areas and litter boxes meticulously clean. 4. Sending you detailed text updates and daily photos so you know your home and pets are perfectly safe.

I've got to say that Jo is a rare find. She provided exceptional service. We have two dogs and three cats, and she managed our house while we were away with Grace and with ease! We were completely at peace. We look forward to future opportunities to work together.
Cassidy is an Amazing cat sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and our three cats, balancing the needs of our two seniors with the non-stop energy of our kitten. She handled every cat mess without hesitation and treated all three with as much love and affection as we do. Cassidy kept us updated throughout her stay, giving us complete peace of mind. We returned home to happy, relaxed cats and a pristine house. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
Sophie was nice enough to come meet our dogs before she watched them the first time, making sure she was prepared to take the best care of them possible. She communicated clearly and did a perfect job watching our two pups. She checked in frequently and shared photos of our dogs as well. Sophie is great and would be a great sitter for all pets!
Ben was great. He cared for Sophie, our high-energy German Shepherd mix for 10 days, in our home. He took great care of Sophie, and she liked him immediately. He did everything exactly as we asked, and took good care of our home as well. He sent photos of their walks and playtime every day, and always made us comfortable that things were going well. I would highly recommend Ben.
Sharon is the BEST!!! She provided prompt communication, several pics and videos of our pups, and took wonderful care of them!! She even vacuumed the pile of dog hair I usually come home to, took out the trash, and left the house as she found it!! She is 10/10 and I would absolutely recommend her!!
We had a great experience with Anjali! She was very trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Our dog and two cats instantly trusted her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.
Jacquie is excellent! Right off the bat, our pup loved her vibe and was drawn to her. At our meet and greet, she was prompt, personable and genuine. Over the course of our trip, we received daily updates and photos, and Jacquie made sure to check-in if there was something we hadn’t explained or something came up that was off-schedule. She even brought our sweet girl to Thanksgiving with her family, so she wouldn’t be lonely. We will definitely book with Jacquie again!
I booked Sekyeong last minute and she was absolutely wonderful! So sweet, flexible, and easy to work with. My pets were well cared for and happy when I got home, and I could tell they were in great hands. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Monte Sereno
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Monte Sereno is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $114 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 3,775 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Monte Sereno. 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 Monte Sereno 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 Monte Sereno 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 Monte Sereno 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 Monte Sereno. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
