“Julie is a god send. My pup Gracie became very ill last Sunday, and I had to go out of town for a day. Julie made both my pups feel comfortable and safe. (They told me). She administered meds, paid close attention and told me what was happening. My girl Gracie has been dealing w acute pancreatitis. I’m home now. Thank you Julie!”
“I cannot recommend Ashley enough! I have two very high-energy dogs who require a lot of attention and exercise, and she handled them with such patience, care, and love. From the moment I met her, it was clear she truly understands dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When I got home, the dogs were happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. It’s not easy to find someone who can keep up with their energy, but she did it effortlessly! If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and absolutely amazing with dogs, look no further—we feel so lucky to have found 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!”
“Dorothy was awesome. Very communicative, our dogs loved Dorothy and our home was in great condition when we returned. We loved all of the updates & photos we received but especially loved how comfortable we felt with having Dorothy in our house & taking care of our dogs!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, typically two or more at a time, and genuinely love getting to know their individual personalities, routines and quirks. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, medications, senior dogs and providing plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I also trained my dog Maverick, affectionately known as “Monaco Maverick,” who became a bit of a local celebrity as Director of Pet Relations, greeting guests at the front desk of the San Francisco hotels I managed. After a career managing hotels and vacation properties, I’m accustomed to being responsible for both people’s comfort and their property. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away, and that you can relax knowing they’re in very good hands. I work remotely managing a nonprofit that provides temporary housing for cancer patients and their families, which gives me considerable flexibility in my daily schedule. I’m able to spend plenty of time at home with the dogs in my care and can easily accommodate their normal routines, including walks, meals, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having dogs around while I work and appreciate that every dog has their own schedule and personality, so I’m happy to adapt my routine to theirs. I care for pets in their own home, where they can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime and any household routines. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home and will keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, relaxed and well cared for, and for you to return to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: Hi, I’m Bella! I was born and raised in Sonoma County and live on a ranch with large dogs, horses, and sheep. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11, from family pets to farm animals, and I have hands-on experience with everything from pigs and sheep to horses and energetic pups. When I’m not working, I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my Jack Russell, Finn. I’d love the chance to help care for your animal with the same love and attention I give to my own. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule around each client’s needs. I plan my days to make sure pets get consistent walks, playtime, and attention, and I treat their care as a priority, not an afterthought. Whether it’s stopping by for visits, staying overnight, or spending extra time for companionship, I build my week around providing dependable care and keeping pets happy and comfortable. When staying in your home, I care for your pets in their own comfortable and familiar space. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs, while keeping your home tidy and secure. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, and I provide regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”
“Highly recommend Angela! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and immediately made our anxious dog feel comfortable and safe. She took him on multiple walks and sent regular photo updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Angela is a fantastic sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Rusty took care of two our elderly ladies with love and skill. She seems to be unflappable in dealing with mini crises. We hope that giving her a glowing review won't mean she's unavailable the next time we need her!”
“Magali was perfect! She took great care of our puppy, was very accommodating, and her experience helped Ansky feel extremely comfortable. We feel confident to leave Ansky with Magali during any future Napa trips! 💛”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats in the past, when I lived in Australia, and in Napa, I am trusted by all of my friends and family to take care of their pets and home while they are away. I have been doing so much housesitting recently, I decided to offer my services to others again! I love animals and am always that person that can't walk past a cat or dog without saying hello and giving them a pat. I am a winemaker and notary on the side, so I have had regular background checks and am a respectful and responsible person. I live by the moto of "leave the place better than you found it" and am very cautious and mindful to leave your home in perfect condition, so you can return home with no problems and no cleaning to worry about! I work full-time and am generally at work by 7:30am and am home by 4pm. I spend a lot of time at home on the weekends to get work done and tend to walk with friends to get exercise or go to the local farmers markets. Give me a list of instructions that you would like done and I will fulfill all of your expectations! I work during the day, so I will not be able to stop by during the day in most cases (between 7:30am-4:30pm), but I will free for walks before and/or after work and anything else that needs to be done.
“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.”
“Victoria cared for our large dog for four days and I couldn’t be more satisfied with her help. She communicated very well before, during and after our vacation. It’s wonderful to get pictures of your puppy while on vacation and see how well she’s doing. I would highly recommend Victoria!”
“Rosemary was incredibly accommodating, receptive, followed instructions well, and ensured our dogs were safe and happy. I would highly recommend her and would book again. Thank you for your great care!”
“Cathleen was excellent working with our dog Marley. Marley wasn’t quite prepared to have someone take care of her while we were away and Cathleen was incredible at being patient and caring for her needs. She went above and beyond by texting, communicating and sending us photos. We will definitely use Cathleen again as we feel Marley has made her part of our family.”
“Mariah did an awesome job sitting our house and our border collie. She communicated often with photos and took great care of our house and Dottie. We will use her again for sure!”
“Alannie did a great job looking after our cat Zumi for 8 days. Zumi seemed relaxed and happy on our return and Alannie left our place clean and tidy. Alannie also watered our plants and collected our mail, which was great. Would definitely recommend!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Helena is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $187 per night.

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 Saint Helena 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 Saint Helena 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 Saint Helena 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.
