“Kathryn exceeded our expectations and our Maltipoo’s expectations house sitting for us! She was very responsive throughout the booking process and while at our house, sending us regular updates. She followed all our instructions and even left the house very tidy! We are happy to have met her and look forward to having her back housesitting for us again.”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for my family friends' dogs while they were away, which helped me understand the importance of building trust with both pets and owners. I am currently enrolled in school on weekends and trade school in evening. I and available during weekday mornings and afternoons to provide reliable dog sitting services. My cats are indoor-only, and my dog enjoys a large backyard for play. Due to my cats' territorial nature, it might be challenging to accommodate other animals in my home.
“This is our 2nd time booking with Amber to house sit and take care of our dog and she was great! Sent us pictures of our baby, showed up on time, spent quality time with Fofinha and even helped out with washing the sheets for our next visitor. We will continue booking with Amber in the near future!!!”
“Alleen helped keep our kitties safe and happy while we were out of town. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust with your home and your fur-babies, but Alleen is definitely someone we would love to welcome back in the future.”
“Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!”
“Janaki was kind, professional, responsible and very loving to my pups. I came home from my trip to two very happy and relaxed dogs. Thank you again!! Hope to book with you again soon :-)”
“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, both dog walking and pet sitting for neighbors when I was a kid and my own dogs once I became an adult. I currently work a full time schedule Tuesday-Saturday but I can easily before work, during my lunch break, and after work as well as Sundays and Mondays! I am very reliable and make sure to care for your home and pets as if they were my own. I am an excellent communicator and will let you know every step of the way when I am in your home.
“Sarah is the best! She treated our fur babies like her own and they LOVED her. Our pup Britin is quite skittish with lots of separation anxiety, but settled in beautifully and Sarah quickly became her new best friend! We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who wants a caring, fun, and generally amazing person to look after their fur babies!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care and attention that Sergio provides for our Dexter. We have every confidence when we travel that all is well at home.”
“Ashlyn is great! She took care of our house, two rowdy dogs, and elderly cat in Mill Valley. She communicated enough so we felt confident everything was great at home, but also not too much that it took us out of our getaway! We will definitely book her again!”
“Coral was awesome! She was there for our dogs needs and kept him happy! Coral checked in with us and even sent us a pic showing our happy doggie. Her rates are very affordable with exceptional care. We will will definitely be using her again.”
“Ariela was so great! She had great communication and was a perfect companion for Mimi. Our dog is very particular when first meeting people and takes some time to warm up. Ariela definitely understood the assignment and with her patience, we could tell that Mimi felt comfortable with her after a solid day. We will definitely ask Ariela to watch Mimi again.”
“Linett took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. We have two strong and energetic bully breeds and they definitely got to have lots of adventures and snuggles with her. She was very communicative and shared photos and videos of the doggos while we were gone.”

Matt was a pleasure to work with. We had never left our dog with anyone else and Matt made it seem like we were never gone. He gave us timely updates and made sure Clover was happy. He left our home cleaner than when we left. Would highly recommend his services!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Geronimo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Geronimo on Rover is $60 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,861 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Geronimo. 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 San Geronimo 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 San Geronimo 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 San Geronimo 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
