“Jinah stayed with our dog and cat for 2 weeks while we took a trip to Ireland. I can honestly say I didn't worry about them the entire time - that is a first for me! Jinah sent updates at least once, sometimes twice a day and I knew they were being well cared for. She honestly is very much loved by both of them. She also handled some unexpected deliveries that had to be refrigerated immediately. If I could give her more stars, I would!! Highly recommend Jinah! 🩷”

“Jesse did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Roxy and Klaus. He set up a meet & greet time with us well in advance of our trip. He asked detailed questions prior to our trip and communicated very well. Not only did he take care of our doggo's, he was mindful about keeping the house clean and attentive to details. Jesse checked in with us, sent us a few pictures and asked questions when they came up. The dogs were quite happy and our neighbors were too. Jesse even set up a scent hunt in the back yard to keep Roxy and Klaus happy and to tire them out. We highly recommend Jesse to watch over your pets and home. Cheers!”

About: I absolutely love animals! Dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it! I grew up with cats my entire life and got my first puppy of my own during quarantine (a yellow lab). I have additional experience caring for all kinds of dogs, dog sitting, dog walking, etc. (I nannied for a family with a labradoodle for 3 years.) I currently work in an emergency department. My schedule is a 2 week schedule that repeats, so I’m available every other weekend, every other Mon/Tues and every other Thurs/Fri. I’m hoping to find a few clients who are flexible as well! Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide home services at my own home as my boyfriend and I have 3 kitties and 1 dog of our own (unless your doggo is comfortable around cats).

About: 🐶 Reliable, Loving Care for Your Best Friend! Hi, I’m FRIDAH . apart from being a full time certified nursing assistant (senior care) iam a dog-obsessed, dependable sitter who treats every pup like my own. Whether you have a goofy adventurer, a snuggly couch buddy, or a high-energy walker, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and understood while you’re away. I stick to your dog’s routine, keep them engaged with walks and playtime, and give plenty of affection and reassurance. You’ll get regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and joy are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the loving care they deserve! 🐾💛 Iam currently working full time as certified nursing assistant from Monday to Friday . Iam gladly available from Friday nights all through Sunday nights . If this changes in the future I will update . How I Care for Pets in My Clients’ Homes When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, comfort, and consistency. Here’s how I ensure a positive, secure environment: 🐾 Safety First • I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, medication, and walking routines. • I double-check doors, windows, crates, and gates to make sure your pet stays safe and secure. • I keep an eye out for anything hazardous—chewable cords, small objects, or anything that might be unsafe for curious pups or cats. 🏡 Respect for Your Home • I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for mine. • I clean up after myself and your pet, keep things tidy, and maintain the routine your pet is used to. • I only access the areas you allow and never invite anyone into your home. 🐶🐱 Comfort & Routine • I stick closely to your pet’s daily routine to keep stress low and comfort high. • I provide the level of attention your pet prefers—whether that’s lots of playtime, calm companionship, or extra snuggles. • I use positive, gentle handling to help your pet feel safe and relaxed. 📸 Communication & Transparency • I send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. • I communicate promptly about any questions or concerns and keep you informed throughout the stay. ❤️ Building Trust • I take time to bond with your pet at their pace, using patience and positive interactions. • I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative so you can feel confident leaving your pet and home in my care.

“Christina was super accommodating! She came and took care of our 3 rambunctious lap dogs while we went to meet our very first grandchild. The pups took to her immediately and I don't think she could move while we were gone, because they were all sitting on top of her :-) :-) Christina made a lovely impression and we would be happy to hire her again, and I definitely think the pups would be over the moon!”

About: How a Rescue Dog Opened My Eyes I never set out to build a pet care business. It began when neighbors asked me to care for their pets during the off season from my work as a private swim instructor. I quickly discovered how much I loved it. Not simply because I enjoyed animals, but because I understood how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. After moving to the Bay area, I began building a life that feels more intentional. Smaller. Better. More personal. Then came Marley. Marley was a rescue dog whose owner wanted him to experience some of the things he had never known. We asked if we could take him along on a road trip through Yosemite, Big Sur and Carmel by the Sea. When Marley discovered the beach for the first time, you could see it in his face. Curiosity. Excitement. Pure joy. That experience stayed with me. It reminded me that caring for an animal is about more than keeping them fed and safe. It is about noticing who they are, understanding what makes them comfortable and, when appropriate, giving them experiences that bring them joy. I have also always loved photography, and over the years I have found myself photographing the animals in my care. I especially love capturing the unplanned moments that reveal their personalities. Holiday stays of 3+ nights include five professional photos of your pup per day, all part of the price. Today, I care for a small number of private clients throughout select communities in Senoma and surrounding areas, primarily during holidays and occasional extended stays. My primary professional work remains private in home swim instruction for families. I am selective about the families I work with because quality matters to me. I take the time to understand your home, your pet and your preferences. I am reliable, discreet and genuinely invested in their care. For me, it has always been about trust. When you leave someone you love in my care, I want you to feel completely at ease. Services include: • 20 minute visit • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Photo updates sent to your phone • Optional dog walking ($) Separately, I also offer family pet photography sessions at the KOA and Dillon Beach.

About: Beyond my thrilling experiences taking care of, and providing fun/enrichment for, a wide variety of animals throughout most of my life, I quickly get tuned into an individual pet's needs. While continuous learning means always researching more about any animals under my care, I also understand that proper care is more beneficial by trying to bond with your pet. But I promise I won't try to become their most favorite person! :-) I have been working remotely as an independent consultant but without any new full-time contracts recently. While still pursuing part-time remote work (contracts or employment), I wanted to maximize my additional time towards supporting pet parents who need a sitter, dog walker, or anything else for their pets that I can provide. As I have a free-roam house rabbit of my own, I can only care for pets at a client's home. (Or on walks, at the dog park, or elsewhere as reasonably requested/permitted by the client.) Your pet's care & safety, comfort, and enrichment are my top priorities.

We chose Jill to watch our 2 dogs; a 5 1/2 yo Goldendoodle and a 4 yo 7 lb Yorkie. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the loving care she gave our dogs for the 5 days we were out of town for a wedding. Jill really went the extra mile by coming by prior to the sit in order to get oriented to our home and dog’s routines. In addition, she was open to arranging a meeting between our 2 dogs and her very calm Aussiedoodle; our dogs got along great and loved the extra socialization with another pup. Jill allowed us to go on our trip feeling confident our dogs were in good hands and we came home to find 2 very happy dogs. Thank you Jill! We hope you consider sitting for us again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rohnert Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Rohnert Park is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $91 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 1,370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rohnert Park. 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 Rohnert Park 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 Rohnert Park 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 Rohnert Park 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.
