“I really appreciated Toni's attention to detail and the thoughtful questions she asked about our pets' care. She provided updates and photos and was very responsive. It was great that she also watered our plants and brought a package in for us. I would rebook with her in the future and recommend her.”

“Susan did a great job with my rescue Earl who has some anxiety issues. She was able to come over a few times before staying and let him get to know her and he loved her! She was very considerate, caring and I had nothing to worry about while I was gone. Earl was spoiled with lots of walks, play time and cuddles. Thanks Susan!”

About: I began pet (and house) sitting for others at the age of 15 and have continued on and off for the last 25 years. Many close friends have pets I watch regularly, from seniors to puppies/kittens, big to small, rescues and designer alike. I've had pets of my own for most of my life. We got our first puppy when I was nine years old - a yellow lab / Collie mix who I wanted to name Skunk due to the white stripe down his forehead. But the family prevailed with the name Buddy (and I later agreed it fit him perfectly). Buddy lived 16 long years and taught me everything a young person needs to learn... responsibility, compassion, unconditional love, and eventually letting go. We still remember his toothy grin whenever he was caught being naughty. In my mid-20’s we rescued a tiny kitten from the streets while living overseas. After that first can of tuna on a rainy night, Nuni became family and gave us joy and companionship for 10 years across two continents and several big cities, ultimately settling down with me in Sonoma county for her last chapter. Her head-butt nuzzles were the best. Four years ago a human came into my life along with her canine companion, Atlas. I began caring for Atlas on weekends when his (human) mom was away and we bonded quickly. Towards the end of his life, I was his nearly full-time caregiver, administering multiple medications, cleaning up accidents, tailoring walks and playtime to his worsening arthritis, and doing all the things in between to give him a good quality of life. I'll treat your pets with as much love and attention as if they were my own. I work part-time doing handywork and gardening while also restoring our older home, so I have flexible time in between to spend on pet care. I'm a detail-oriented person and am happy to follow specific plans for your pets' needs. Generally, I enjoy spending time with animals and look to engage in activities that fits each individual. Safety is always top priority and I try to be prepared as best as possible.

“Andi is an absolutely wonderful sitter and just all-around great person! Unfortunately our dog was pretty sick while we were away and she handled the whole situation with so much thought & care - as if it was her own dog that was unwell. She brought our sweet girl to the emergency vet and made sure we were updated with texts & photos the whole time we were away. Everything turned out OK with our dog, thanks to Andi's care and attention. We are so appreciative of her and hope to book her again the next time we are away.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and enjoy taking care of them and their daily needs. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether your dog wants to play or go for a walk I am flexible to their needs. All dogs need love and attention so when you're not there I am here to help! During the weekdays I can drop in after 4pm and on weekends I am flexible with times. If you have questions or concerns, you can reach out to me and we can figure something out! Whatever routine you have for your dog I can accommodate. I want you to feel comfortable with your dog in my care. Making sure your dog is safe and happy is my priority while you are away.

About: I have experience caring for and walking my family and friends’ dogs for 10 years. I have experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog is unique and that each dog has different needs. I am familiar with dog CPR. I am no stranger to administering medication to dogs. I am free after 4pm on Monday-Friday. On weekends I am free from 7am-9pm. If needed, we can arrange earlier or later appointment times. Thanks! I can stop by at your home to check in on your furry friend(s) and make sure that they have plenty of food and water in their bowls, as well as give them ample time to go to the bathroom prior to completing the check in. I can provide 30 min-1 hour walks, or stimulate/play with your dog(s) for 30 min-1 hour in the safety of your home yard or nearby dog park.

About: 🐾❤️When I needed a hand, I found your paw -Unknown Connecting with animals has always come so naturally to me. Dogs and cats fill a special place within us. My goal is to share that connection and pair it with 10 solid years of pet sitting so that pets and parents feel confident and comfortable. I offer doggo walking, boarding, day care, and transportation, and I am skilled in the administration of medicine. I am punctual, responsible, kind and easily provide loving care that meets all pets where they are. I always keep emergency contacts ready and communicate openly with you. I understand that finding and trusting the right pet sitter/walker can feel overwhelming! Your doggo deserves a safe and fun environment. I have a Doggo-proof, fun house with 2 huge yards! Whether your doggo digs active playtime, or seeks quiet companionship, I will have the tails all wagging! I have 2 doggos, ages 8 and 9. I love them to pieces. I can’t wait for the possibility of meeting yours! PS: Dogs are OF COURSE allowed on the bed, and couch. I couldn’t imagine life without it! PPS: I drop in cat visits, because: “"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this." I’m available: Monday: 8am-7pm Tuesday: 8am-7pm Wednesday: 8am-7pm Thursday: 8am-7pm Friday: 8am-6pm Weekends- by appointment only Holidays- by appointment only I have 2 large dog friendly fenced yards with plenty of room to play and explore. My house is 100% doggo friendly and centrally located in Santa Rosa!

About: Dogs have always been a passion of mine, and caring for them is something I truly love! I have hands-on experience in pet sitting, small-dog boarding, dog training, pack walking, and working at a professional boarding and daycare facility. My experience has taught me how to work with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels while prioritizing safety, enrichment, and positive experiences. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, learning new skills, or just relaxing with some extra affection, I’m happy to meet them where they are! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I work part-time as a massage therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I have availability throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m also able to board small dogs most days of the week. I’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine! Whether your pup stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! In my home: I have a small yard for potty breaks and live next to beautiful walking trails for daily walks and enrichment. I only board one dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of individualized attention. I have a friendly corgi and a cat, so visiting dogs must be comfortable living with both. I’m only away for occasional four-hour shifts at a nearby spa, and my partner works from home, so your pup will have company throughout the day. Crates are available if preferred, but your dog is also welcome to sleep with me! In your home: I follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, care instructions, and house rules. I provide daily walks, companionship, and plenty of affection. I work occasional four-hour shifts Tuesday through Saturday, but otherwise can spend my time at your home caring for your pets. For overnight stays, I just ask for access to a bed and kitchen. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like my own!

Toni is a fabulous pet sitter! She goes way above and beyond to make sure your pets are loved and cared for! She took excellent care of our cat and elderly, high maintenance dog: they got love, pets, walks and long brushing sessions, and we got regular updates and pictures. Also, she watered our garden and left the house spotless. I have absolute confidence when Toni is caring for or pets! Booking with Toni is an excellent plan!

Lizeth was soooo sweet, gentle, and kind. I booked for for a week-long stay in my home. Her willingness to meet expectations was exceptional. I am an over-communicator, and that dynamic worked very well for us. She was so loving with the kitties. She kept the space very clean and exactly how she found it. I’m so grateful to have found someone so awesome! I highly recommend Lizeth if you need a trusted individual to have a sleepover with your animals, or even a long daycare situation. Would 100% book again.

Harley loved her, and she loved the dog walks and park visits they took. Risa kept our home tidy and got our mail and packages as they arrived; she also watered our plants. We will definitely keep using her services. I was very happy and at ease that our girl and home were in good hands while we were away.

She was very reliable, self sufficient and able to solve things as they arose, and very attentive to our animals needs. Our cat is a very attention needy cat with some odd behavior like biting and Brianna won her over and loved on her without any hesitation. We came home to a well loved and content cat. Brianna also took special care of our chickens during the heat wave, tending to their needs. We also came home to a freshly cleaned house which was very much appreciated. Brianna was wonderful and we highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Roseland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Roseland is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $118 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 1,053 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roseland. 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 Roseland 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 Roseland 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 Roseland 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 Roseland. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
