“Kathryn was absolutely amazing! She provided exceptional care, and all my furry friends adored her. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made a real difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver!”
“I can't thank Orrya enough for watching my little Georgia while I was gone. Not only did she spend the day/night with her, the house was spotless when I came home....And, she left DoggieTV on for her:). What a wonderful touch!!”
“We feel like we lucked out asking Jodi to watch our dogs! She is a true professional along with being a sweet and kind person who clearly loves the opportunity to spend time with dogs and not just be there and feed them and let them outside when needed. We felt very comfortable leaving our 3 beloved dogs and home in her care, which is not something you normally feel when first meeting someone, but she is who she is and is a genuinely good person. Great super fast communication, early despite road closures due to flooding and even sent photos of the happy pups. We look forward to seeing her again! Highly recommend! Thanks for everything, Jodi!!”

About: I have over six years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and medical needs. I have provided dog walking, feeding, overnight care, boarding, playtime, and companionship for dogs in multiple homes. I understand the importance of following each pet parent's individual routine and instructions. I am currently taking classes to become a Veterinary Assistant, which is helping me expand my knowledge of animal care, health, behavior, and safety. I treat every dog as if they were my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet-care needs, including weekdays, weekends, and occasional last-minute requests. I am happy to work with each pet parent's routine to provide consistent, dependable care. I provide a safe calm and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet parent's instructions and concerns closely, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets carefully, and make sure they are comfortable and supervised. I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I will always prioritze their safety and well-being.
“Mari was great! She took care of our two elderly dogs while we were away for a week. One of our dogs has a strict medication schedule and she was very good at administering it all and on time. Mari was also very good at constantly communicating with me throughout our time away which helped put my mind at ease. She sent photos and videos at least every other day. Mari genuinely cares about our dogs and their well-being and that’s all you can hope for when looking for a pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Mari!”
About: For over 20 years I have cared for dogs for friends, family, and lately through TrustedHousesitters. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise and best care needed, so you can relax and enjoy your time away from home. I only work part-time and I am close to retirement, so I'm in a position to easily adjust my schedule to meet your housesitting needs. Your pet's safety and well-being is my top priority. I am a very responsible and dependable person and I will give you frequent updates with text messages or otherwise to give you peace of mind while you are away from your pet(s).
“Zack does an amazing job! It is so nice to come home to a clean house and know our fur baby has been well cared for. The key didn't work for him, but he sprang into action to make sure Luna was taken care of and he had access. Will look to rehire Zack for future sitting needs!”
“Highly, highly recommend Nate! He’s the best. He house/dog sat our three dogs (senior/blind pug, chihuahua, and a spirited Shepard mutt) plus looked after our leopard gecko. Dogs were so well taken care of and our house was left in perfect shape! He communicated wonderfully and sent us adorable pics. Definitely will use Nate again and highly recommend.”
“It’s nice to see my pup’s comfort and engagement with Brady grow. It is helping me to have time to get some things done and also helping my pup learn to connect with others while being treated for separation anxiety. A win all around. Brady gives great feedback on my little guy’s behavior.”
“Jackie watched my two frenchies and my house while I was away on a long weekend trip to the east coast. She was extremely professional, communicative, and my dogs loved having her stay. They also loved having a new buddy Finley, her gentle beagle to hang out with ! She took fantastic care of my house as well, even going the extra mile to wash sheets, dishes and I came home to a clean house and happy dogs !”
About: I focus on in-home pet sitting so pets can stay comfortable in their own space and keep their normal routine. I’m calm, attentive, and reliable, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m respectful of your home, follow instructions carefully, and always send updates so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my routine. I plan my days around making sure pets get the attention they need and stay on their normal schedule. I mainly care for pets in their own home so they can keep their normal routine. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, follow instructions closely, and treat your home with respect. I also send updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“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.”
“My wife and I really enjoyed working with Meghan! I felt that Meghan bonded with our dog. We also communicated well with Meghan. We were gone for 10 days and came home to a happy dog and a spotless home!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a middle schooler. Between my family dogs and dogs who have lived in my home since then I have been responsible for at least 7 dogs, of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I've kept moody Dachshunds, energetic Shelties, even tempered Retrievers and even rescue Pitbulls. I love hiking and getting outdoors, and bringing a canine friend along. I currently have one dog of my own, a peppy rescue mix, and he is my best friend I am available to dog/house sit very regularly. I am an ecological land designer working most days from home with the exception of days where I need to do a site visit or connect with my team in person. I can pretty much work from anywhere with a good internet connection, so most days would be able to be around in case your dog needs more frequent walks or attention. In addition to dogs I love other pets and plants! If you have house plants, a veggie garden or other plants that need some watering or attention while you're away I'll be able to help in the department as well! I work from home most days, so I am able to be flexible around a pets needs regarding feeding, walks, and medication. Ocassionally I do have to leave home for work, and that is typically up to 4 hours. We have one dog at home and since we don't have a yard, we typically take him up on the ridge to walk, or to the Red hill Dog park or San Quentin beach. These are great places to have some fun exercise
About: I have trained a pit Bull (off leash and crate trained) & Frenchie (puppy pads & leash trained), fostered cats, and cleaned fish aquariums. When in doubt, take your puppy on a walk! I work remotely and am flexible to help out with caring for animals by taking them on a walk/hike or having them over for the night. I have a fenced in front and back yard but would train the dog to poop/pee while going for a walk. I hike Mandeville canyon weekly and would be happy to take your dog with me for exercise.
“Christopher house sat for us while we were away for the weekend. Our yellow lab Stella had a great time! Chris was communicative, punctual, and reliable. We received several photos of our dog and she looked happy as ever. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have years experience watching friends and families dogs as well as my own 8 year old pit bull. I love all animals and would love to spend time with your doggy :) I am available weekday nights after 6:00 pm and full day weekends Saturday and Sunday. On weekends I am available to spend unlimited time with your pet. Your pet will be well taken care of. I will make sure your pet has the right amount of exercise, attention, and that their needs are met.
“Lia was awesome! She spent so much time with our two kitties, sent tons of pictures, and kept us updated on how they were doing. Also put up with us changing dates multiple times (just as patient with us humans as the kitties haha)”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ross is $75
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ross
We have a homeward bound crew of animals each with their own personalities and challenges. Andrea took such good care of them and our home while we were away for almost a week. The animals loved her!! Thank you so so much again for all of your patience with them!!
David was great! My dog was so relaxed when I got home after a 6 day trip that it was as if I'd never left. I really appreciated how conscientious David was about getting clear on the details of my dog's needs and really wanted to keep her routine and care as close to normal as possible. He seems very committed to doing a great job. Great communication with daily updates and photos. His schedule which allowed him to be at my home with my dog most of the time really worked for me as that's what she is used to. His gentle, attentive way seemed to have been great for her. And my house was in good shape too. This was the first time I have used Rover, and I highly recommend David.
Mari is absolutely wonderful! She has an incredible connection with animals and is very warm and caring with them. She is that way with people as well. Trust her 100%. She went over every detail of my instructions for her to ensure she didn’t have any questions before I left. And then sent me twice daily updates, pictures and videos. I have one day who is very shy and barks at everyone. Buy day 3 with Mari, he was cuddling up with her for belly rubs. Finally, she left my house spotless with fresh sheets, clean dishes, etc.
Lili did a wonderful job caring for our pets and staying in our home. We have a small dog and cat. The dog can take a long time to warm up to new people, but Lili has such a warm, gentle, and patient energy that both of our animals felt safe with her. While staying at our house, Lili gave me daily updates and photos, which completely put my mind at ease while I was away. When I came home, our dog and cat seemed calm, happy, and well cared for. We would rebook with Lili again (already planning on it) and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Ariela was dependable, responsive and had great communication. She messaged us with daily updates and photos. She took Brodie on daily outings for walks and to the dog park. I felt comfortable with her staying in our home and did not worry about our dog while we were away. Brodie and the house were in good shape when we got back. I would definitely use Ariela again for our pet.
We had a very complicated booking, due to last minute changes that were out of our control. Parke was understanding, flexible, reliable, and took phenomenal care of our two busy Doodles. One required daily medication, and Parke did not let us down. Daily check ins were appreciated and very reassuring. We arrived home to find two happy, healthy pups, Five stars isn’t enough! Thank you again, Parke! We will definitely be re-booking with you!
Pat was wonderful! She radiates calm, and our nervous dog immediately liked her, which is genuinely unusual. She's also friendly and fun to talk to, which is a plus for the owners! She was fine with giving medications to our dog who is still recovering from CCL surgery, and with keeping him quiet in general. She kept us up-to-date with texts and photos, and the house was spotless. She was the perfect person for our pup.
Imani took great care of my puppy, adult cat and home. She sent me regular updates and photos and was really accommodating about the ongoing renovation project which meant workers were coming and going from the house. I highly recommend Imani and look forward to hiring her again.
I am so glad I found Lydia. She went above and beyond. She even helped my sister when she needed to find some things at the apt for me. She sent photos and updates everyday. She took Rosco for a lot of walks, out to the park and to run errands with her. I really feel like she treated him like her own pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ross is $86 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $119 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 7,228 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ross. 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 Ross 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 Ross 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 Ross 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 Ross. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
