“Katie is an exceptional pet sitter. We would 100 % recommend her. She asked good questions and listened well, taking the absolute best care of our dog Maeve. Kind hearted and knowledgeable, I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust any animal to her care. Well done Katie!”
About: I am a person who cares! And I care most when it comes to your pets. My pets are my life and I understand that they are family. As an uber driver, I have a very open schedule and the ability to make frequent stops to check in with babies throughout my day! I would come equipped with a first aid kit and all safety materials. I would assure I had participated in any and all safety trainings available.
“Dorothy was amazing! She was so helpful with the animals and helping with medications as well as sending updated photos a few times a day. Great communication and very friendly and warm. She also left the house spotless and as clean as I left it! Absolutely would rehire!”
“Giselle did a great job taking care of Rosie and Gracie! She sent pupdates and photos on a regular basis and she asked questions when she needed to be sure of something. The dogs seemed calm and well cared for when I arrived back home.”
“Melany pet sat my four animals for me for an overnight. She was easy to communicate with before the sit, took lots of cute pictures during, and left my house very clean. I came home to happy animals all around. Would highly recommend for any of your needs on Rover!”
About: I’ve spent several years caring for pets as part of my work as a nanny and personal assistant, so I’m very used to routines, communication, and handling animals with patience. I’ve cared for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Dobermans, as well as small dogs, seniors, and puppies. What sets me apart is that I’m calm, dependable, and observant, I notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy right away. I’m comfortable with crate routines, structured walks, feeding schedules, basic commands, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’ve also handled senior-dog needs like slow walks, medication reminders, and gentle mobility support. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pup is happy and safe. Whether your dog needs long walks, quiet company, playtime, or extra patience, I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I’m home the majority of the day. When I’m house-sitting, your dog gets consistent company, supervision, and attention, I’m not someone who will be in and out all day. If I ever need to step out for a quick errand or class requirement, I always communicate ahead of time. I believe in being respectful of your home and completely transparent about my schedule, so you’ll always know what to expect. Because my program is online, I’m able to structure my study time around your pet’s needs: walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and potty breaks. This setup lets me provide calm, consistent care while keeping your dog’s routine as stable and stress-free as possible. When I care for pets in your home, I keep everything calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your dog’s routine exactly: feeding schedule, walk times, crate rules, and any house guidelines you prefer. I’m especially careful with doors, gates, and outdoor time, and I handle strong or high-energy dogs confidently. I keep your home tidy, pick up after pets right away, and treat your space with respect. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel secure in their familiar environment and give you complete peace of mind.
“Aimee was such a good house sitter! She watched our three pets, including a rambunctious puppy for one night. She sent lots of pictures and was super communicative. We would 1000% book her again :)”
“Julia took great care of our pets. We have a very fearful puppy who doesn’t always do well with strangers, but he was able to warm up to Julia. She kept us updated and sent pictures when we were gone. We’d definitely use her again!”
“Viridiana is awesome! She is very professional, respectful, and punctual. She and my dog got along really well right away. She took care of him in our home and sent regular updates. Our dog even snuggled with her on the couch. We’re looking forward to having her sit again!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I grew up in India caring for 8 stray dogs, and that experience shaped my deep sense of responsibility and love for animals. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and a Husky-Shepherd mix who keeps me on my toes (and very active!). I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy breeds to senior pups who just need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable giving medications, managing feeding routines, and handling multi-pet households with care and patience. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight sitting, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, attention, and lots of cuddles. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind matters, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos! I’m currently working full time Monday to Friday, and will be able to take care of your pets on weekends and in the evenings as needed. Also, if you’re closer to Napa, I can take up 30 minutes quick appointments. I have an apartment in a beautiful community, close to downtown Napa, hence your pet will be more than excited to go out to walk in the neighborhood and enjoy the crisp air and view!
“Ruth was incredibly helpful in guidance through the process of using Rover for the first time as well as preparing ourselves for someone else to watch Batman and account for his needs while we were away. She set up a meet and greet which helped decrease all the nerves we had around using this service for the first time, and made sure the handoff when we did leave for vacation was easy and clear. Batman seemed comfortable around her from the first visit and she made sure to keep us updated with frequent pictures and check-ins while we were away. She was also an excellent and clean house guest.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover with 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. I know that your pup is a cherished family member, and my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, loved, and fully entertained while you are away. I specialize in managing all types of canine personalities—from high-energy athletes who need long hikes to shy or senior pups who prefer gentle cuddles and a quiet environment. I am well-versed in reading subtle canine body language to keep every interaction positive and stress-free. I’m also comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds, no matter their temperament. Whether your dog needs a brisk neighborhood walk, overnight companionship, or structured playtime, I am here to provide premium care. I cannot wait to meet your furry family member! I believe pets are the top priority and will always try my absolute best to fit you in. This is my job so always feel free to reach out. I have one very high energy dog who goes and multi-hour walks with me daily. And I have another who is much more of a home body and just wants to cuddle. Taking care of your dog will depend on what your dog wants. I am happy to walk your dog till they don’t want to or I am happy to cuddle and play in the yard/living room. You and your pets care will be customized to your needs.
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a lengthy trip. Mariah cared for our puppies which included washing of pee pads daily, hydrating food and giving electrolytes. She got our mail and packages along with taking our garbage cans out. It was more than caring for our beloveds and they were happy and healthy upon our return. We are very grateful for Mariah’s care of our pups and home in our absence. We will use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, through every stage of their lives. Growing up with dogs, they have always been like family to me. I’ve had experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats and have also worked at a doggy daycare / boarding center. Spending time with furry friends never feels like work to me. I am fortunate to live at home where I know my own dog is always cared for when I am away, so I can confidently care for yours too! I always enjoy being able to go for walks and make visits during the day in between managing my other responsibilities. As a student, I typically have more availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am happy to visit and walk with your pups during the day, providing them each the individual care that they deserve. I am open to doing group walks as well, depending on your pet’s preferences. I am also able to pet sit, where I can care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own home!
About: I am a Napa native and I work in downtown at a civil engineering firm. I have had animals around my whole life and will always love all pets like they are my own. I have experience house sitting for dogs, cats, lizards, and ducks/chickens. This includes walking, feeding special diets, housing needs, and administering medications. I look forward to meeting some new friends! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 with an hour lunch which allows me to do mid day check ins. I prefer house and pet sitting when taking care of animals which allows me to work around my work schedule and provide your animals with the attention that they require. Being able to take care of animals in their own home is important to me because it offers them a sense of comfort especially when someone new is around. I aim to keep up with normal house hold routines so your animals doesn’t get too stressed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Napa
Dorothy was amazing! She took such good care of our new puppy. Our puppy is still house training and Dorothy was very attentive and helped support her learning. She was also a great houseguest- leaving the place spotless. I’ll definitely be calling her again.
Olivia was fantastic! She was patient with our boys and they became fast friends! We felt confident and comfortable leaving for our honeymoon with our boys in her care. She was communicative and sent pictures/updates daily. House was clean, bedding was washed and bed was made upon our return! We’ve never left our boys with anyone but family before but are so happy to have found someone not only we are comfortable with but our boys as well. Will absolutely try to book with Olivia again the next time we need someone to watch our boys! 💫
Cassie was great! All four of our pets were very well taken care of. She came to our home a few days before she would be staying here to meet our dogs, and she brought treats for not only them but our cats as well! She sent us pictures and video while we were away, and was very timely with her communication. We have an older dog who receives medication and she handled that no problem. We will definitely be using Cassie again, and we highly recommend her!
Avery did a meet and greet before sitting Archie the first time, and asked good questions. She arrived on time for the overnight stay and left Archie and the house as we left them. She was gentle and patient with Archie, who takes awhile to warm up to new people. We would use her again for dog sitting.
Lauren is the sweetest. My dog loves her. She stayed the weekend at my house, and was prompt, communicative, sent photo updates each morning, and left the house spotless. My dog and cat seemed relaxed and happy when I returned which tells me they got plenty of love and attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Napa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Napa on Rover is $55.5 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 4,530 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Napa. 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 Napa 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 Napa 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 Napa 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.
