“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Dzit! She communicated with us so well throughout the entire time she took care of our fur babies and sent us plenty of pictures as well. She was very sweet and understanding, showed up on time, and took such good care of our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worries knowing they were being cared for by her. I couldn’t have asked for a better person. It’s so hard to find someone trustworthy and I’m so glad I found her. Hope to book her again another time!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and treat every guest like my own. My home is calm, safe, and filled with love. There’s no holiday rate😊 【It is all about companionship🪀🐈🐈‍⬛ & Safty🔛】 As a full-time "work-at-home" artist🎨 & Cats-aholic😍🐱 & a childfree woman🧑🏼‍🎨, it also makes me well-suited to be a full-time cat🐱 sitter. So here I am🙋‍♀️! Welcome to a quiet, artist-owned private home designed as a peaceful retreat for cats.

Sometimes, friendly neighborhood cats even stop by to say hello.

“My chihuahua and sisters German shepherd/black lab mix loved having Angelique stay with them during our weekend away. Angelique was so kind to do a visit ahead of time, was very communicative, and organized her schedule around our dogs. My dog loves to cuddle and definitely got all of the love from Angelique. We’d love to have her back to stay at our place with cooper in the future.”

About: I’ve had pets since I was little, always feeling a close bond with them! I’ve worked as a dog groomer and a vet clinic cleaner! I have no preference between cats and dogs, both I find purrfect! Taking care of them will be as much a treat for them as it is for me! I work part time, so a lot of my week is free for playdates and walks! No better way to spend my free time then with your cuties. I have a closed off backyard! A pretty wooded neighborhood with a lot of trails to walk around and enjoy nature. My house is picked up with a lot of blankets and soft textures! Perfect for a nice rest for any pet

When we came home be was relaxed and not at all stressed from us being away (as he had been after other sitters). Nicole followed all instructions to care for our guy was is a little high maintenance due to back trouble. Nicole discovered his favorite games and even gave him a nice brushing at the end of their time together. We were so pleased and would love to have Nicole come back!”

About: Ive worked in the veterinary field for almost 12 years- most of my experience has been in specialty and emergency medicine and have been lucky to help all sizes and ages of fur babies and their families. I have seen the distress of both the pet and their pet parent and always strive to be a pillar of confidence and ensure your pet is in good hands and will be taken care of. My goal is to build trust with your pet and also with your family. I understand how hard it can be to travel and have someone care for them and this is why i treat all animals like my own. I always put safety at the forefront when i'm pet sitting and always happy for check in's or anything that puts you at ease to know your loved one is taken care of while you are away. I am currently freelancing and enjoying getting my dose of animal care by assisting my house mates older dog. I lost my best fur friend over a year ago and currently helping other pets feel cared and loved until im ready for a new friend. Doors and locks are always checked and no pet is left unattended. I typically adjust my schedule to the needs of your pet while in my care.

About: For over 13 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs! I have 3 dogs at home myself, a Havanese poodle and two German shepherds! My dogs are on the older side and aren’t able to go on walks as much so I wanted to join Rover. When I’m away from home and miss my dogs, also volunteer at the animal shelter to do doggie day out and bring shelter dogs for walks and a pup cup. I pay careful attention to body language for dogs to make them feel comfortable. I just graduated from UCI so I’ve been readjusting back at home. When I get the chance, I love going out and trying the next big thing! When I’m home, I love playing with my dogs and snuggling up with them because they’re so cute I know safety and trust is the utmost importance so I will be sure to communicate with you if issues were to arise. I make sure that the area is familiar, safe and enclosed before letting a dog off-leash and walks are always on-leash. I have trained multiple dogs to learn basic commands and signals with treats and positive reinforcements.

He sent lots of photos and updates and even took her to the pet store a few times to pick out treats and get a much needed rain coat. She even tried to go home with him when he was leaving when we got home. 😂 I can’t recommend Anthony enough. We already have requested a few re-bookings.”

About: Hello! I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets my whole life. I’ve had dogs of all sizes, from small terriers to massive chow and pitbull mixes. While my family still has dogs and cats that I care for at times, in my own home I currently have 3 small rabbits! They are dwarf holland lops, fully litter box trained and friendly with people and dogs (less so with cats). As a child I took horse riding lessons and learned to properly care for horses in their stables, and have also cared for friends’ geckos and tortoises. I love all animals and am excited to help care for yours! I work full-time as a scientist, with flexible availability Monday through Friday for drop-ins on your pets. I am available all day on weekends! While my home is not open to additional pets at this time, I can accommodate any specific needs or routines your pets have in your home or neighborhood!

Alisha did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were overseas for two weeks. This was our first time hiring a house sitter, and were a bit anxious about leaving our pups (a 9 month old and a 16 year old) with a new person, but Alisha's friendliness and professionalism made us feel comfortable right away. Everything went smoothly, we received regular updates and responses to our communications. When we came home the house was sparkling and the pups were happy! We will definitely be repeat customers!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Lorenzo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in San Lorenzo is $68 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $100 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 9,571 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Lorenzo. 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 Lorenzo 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 Lorenzo 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 Lorenzo 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 San Lorenzo. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.
