“This was Kat's first time sitting for our kitten Peanut, and she exceeded our expectations across the board. Communication was excellent — she shared regular updates and sent us genuinely fun photos that we loved getting throughout the trip. When we hit an unexpected schedule change, Kat was completely accommodating and made it a non-issue. The house was just as clean as we left it. She followed everything we asked, from the litter box routine to stripping the bed before we got back. Most importantly, Peanut was visibly happy and well-adjusted when we returned — you can always tell when a sitter has actually engaged with your pet, and she clearly had. Peanut was so comfortable with Kat that we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely have her sit for Peanut again. Highly recommend.”
“Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! From walks and playtime to cuddles, feeding routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m comfortable with all the little things that make a dog happy. I’ve also had a cat for about four to five years now, so I understand the different personalities and needs that come with caring for pets. I’m attentive, reliable, and the kind of person who will probably take way too many photos of your pet while you’re away(yes I am happy to send them and keep you updated:)). My goal is to make sure your fur baby feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re gone! I joined Rover recently because I work from home and have extra time on my hands throughout the week to dedicate to your pet. I am flexible and am happy to drop in and or walk your furry friend/s. I live in an apartment, so I ensure that I lead an active lifestyle whether I'm working remotely, running, checking out new places with friends, or in the gym. I'm looking to add pet care onto my list once again. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I respect your privacy and follow your instructions whether it's feeding, walks, play, meds, bedtime routine aka whatever your pet needs to feel happy and secure. I try to keep everything as normal as possible so they feel right at home even when you're away! And finally, I am responsible! I make sure to follow all instructions with receipts! :) (meaning if I'm scheduled to give meds at specific time/ add vitamins or take a walk, I will give photo updates as well)
“Merci took excellent care of our girl, June. June is a pittie and she can be dog reactive, but Merci made her feel at home and we could tell from the updates that June relaxed and enjoyed herself. We had an issue with our travel, and Merci offered to stay extra with June to help us. Total peace of mind.”
“Angelica was amazing and our dogs loved her. She communicated well and responded well to our sweet Izzy who needs a lot of extra care as we are finding out. She handled it like a pro. Our dogs were relaxed and happy! Would definitely recommend her for anyone who needs sweet sitter.”
“Bonnie is an absolute DREAM. My Pom is very reactive and needy, and she was not phased and also improved his behavior while I was away. She followed my instructions, was extremely communicative, and sent me so many cute photos and videos (including an adorable video set to a Pomeranian theme song!!!) I love Bonnie, feel like she is part of my Poms family now, and trust her 100% with my baby. Louie loves her! I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had pets all of my life and my friends entrust me to take of their fur babies on a regular basis. I love animals more than humans a lot of the time. I’m a stay at home mom and my kids are older now so I have lots of time to do what I love which is walk and hike and be outdoors. And it’s all the more fun if I can have a dog with me! I will care for your babies as if they were my own! And follow all of your instructions and make sure everything is done exactly as you want it.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me so much joy. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give them the same love and patience I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to become your dog’s favorite sitter and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, but most of my evenings are free and weekends perfect if you need a sitter for a weekend getaways or a night out! I live on a 2 acre property and my roommate has a very friendly border collie that gets along with almost anything, I usually watch her if my roommate is out of town!
“Taylor is responsible for, kind, smart, and wonderful with dogs! We have a Blue Heeler mix who is picky about who he likes and he bonded with her immediately. She took him on the long walks that he needs and also gave him the love he needed to be happy and relaxed when we came home. Our home was left spotless and our dog was happy. What more could we ask for?! We will definitely engage her again without hesitation!”
“Tiffany is very reliable - she communicated well and left the house in great condition. My dog has stranger anxiety with new people but warmed up to her right away. I can feel confident leaving the dog and cats in her care. Will plan to have her stay again!”
“I'm very impressed with the Sophia and the care she gave my pets while sitting. I will definitely be using her again. She watched over my cat Riley and my dog Lia. They both warmed up to her quickly. My dog does not normally do that. After the first night Lia warmed up to her and they became friends. Sophia always stayed in touch and sent plenty of photos for me to see how they were doing. She left my house clean and neat. I highly recomend Sophia to anyone who is looking for a conifdent, respectful, caring pet sitter.”
“Elika was wonderful when she stayed overnight with my dog and cat. She arranged a first time meeting to make sure it was a good fit and followed up promptly to messages. I received a glowing review from a reference and felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care. Elika was conscientious and ensured my home was just as I left it. She even washed and changed the sheets after her stay. My dog was relaxed around her and my cat was particularly affectionate as Elika was preparing to leave, so I'm sure they both will be happy to see her again in the future.”
“Linette took great care of our dogs! We appreciate that she sent updates and pictures everyday to let us know that our girls are safe, active and happy. We will definitely ask her to come back.”
“Melissa was pleasant, knowledgable and reliable. She kept in good communication with me while i was gone and had excellent suggestions for setting up my kitty in his new home. I would absolutely hire her again!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Point Reyes Station is $139 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $139 and $139 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.

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 Point Reyes Station 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 Point Reyes Station 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 Point Reyes Station 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.
