“Avery took care of my cat very well - making sure she took her meds and felt safe. She was very patient with my cat’s quirks. From the pictures she sent I can tell my cat had a good time with her. Thanks for taking such good care of her 🤩”
“Laura is amazing. We have a very smart and stubborn corgi, and she stayed with him for nearly 10 days. She sent us regular photos and kept us very updated. He was very happy and extremely well taken care of. We cannot say enough good things about Laura. We would recommend her extremely highly.”
“Natalia watched our cat and dog over the weekend while we were out of town and we had a fantastic experience with her! She came beforehand for a meet and greet where she was very friendly, professional, and great with our pets. I wrote detailed instructions regarding their care and Natalia followed all of their regular routines! Natalia sent frequent photos, took our dog on many walks, and made sure that our car was always indoors! She was very friendly and extremely communicative. We look forward to her watching Freya and Ginger again when we are on a longer trip next month! I am very nervous leaving my pets with people but I feel super confident and comfortable with Natalia and highly recommend working with her!”
“Kevin took wonderful care of our dog, Watson, while we were away from June 25 to July 2. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He took Watson on walks to parks and trails, played ball with him using a long leash so he could safely enjoy the feeling of being off leash, followed all of our feeding instructions, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. We always felt connected and knew Watson was in great hands. What impressed us most was how observant Kevin was. Everything he told us about Watson matched his personality perfectly, which reassured us that he was truly paying attention and getting to know him as an individual. It’s clear that Kevin understands dogs, genuinely cares about them, and gives them the love and attention they deserve. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that says everything. We highly recommend Kevin and would absolutely trust him with Watson again.”
“Limari was awesome! She took great care of our little chihuahua Frankie for 4 nights while we were out of town. We received tons of photos and daily updates! she was very responsible and professional. Will definitely be using her again !”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a household that always had at least two dogs and two cats, and I loved being involved in their care from a young age. Today, I have a beautiful six-year-old calico of my own named Goose, who is my pride and joy. I will also add that I do have some experience with exotic animals and took care of an axolotl for years. My friends and family turn to me when they need someone to look after their pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m attentive, adaptable, and mindful of each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel at ease. If you book with me, you can expect lots of love, patience, and thoughtful care. I look forward to becoming your pet’s new buddy! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! My weekends are typically wide open, and on weekdays I’m most often available after 3 PM. My availability can vary a bit from week to week, so please feel free to reach out with any scheduling questions or requests. I’m always happy to communicate, work around your needs when possible, and find a schedule that works for everyone! I offer drop-in visits and house sitting in my clients’ homes, including overnight stays, rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’m very respectful of other people’s spaces and will follow all household rules and instructions, taking care to leave everything just as I found it. I’m adaptable and happy to learn whatever routines your pets are accustomed to, whether that means specific feeding schedules, medication, regular potty breaks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment, with as little disruption to their routine as possible. I also know how reassuring it can be to hear from someone looking after your pets, so I’m always happy to send photo and text updates throughout my time with them! I want you to be able to relax while you’re away, knowing your pets and your home are in good hands. I’m happy to communicate, answer questions, and accommodate your pets’ individual needs so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. :)
“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I am a very kind, patient loving woman who has always had fur babies and treat everyone's fur babies with love and compassion. Animals only want love and I will always give that to them. As of right now, I am unemployed so I am available 7 days a week. When i do normally have a job, I will still be available 3-4 days a week. I follow the clients list of do's and don't that they leave for me. I always keep in contact with the owner/owners so that they always feel at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 5 years, including seniors, shy rescues, and energetic kittens. I’ve helped foster and rehome multiple cats, and currently care for three of my own. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to feed, clean, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m gentle, attentive, and love learning each animal’s unique personality. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and every interaction with animals feels incredibly healing and meaningful to me. I wish I could welcome even more animals into my life, but since I can’t right now, I treat every pet I care for like family whether they live in my home or yours. Pet care is already part of my daily life. I have three cats at home, including one I'm currently fostering. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and love being around them as much as possible. I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of love and patience. I'm especially experienced with shy or anxious cats and dogs, and I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. My own pets are well socialized, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.
“Jordynn was a wonderful sitter for Brunello. I appreciated her communicativeness and attentiveness when he wasn’t eating as he should. She let me know right away and we were able to problem solve together.”
About: I have experience raising a dog. I helped with doggy haircuts, brushing teeth, and applying eyedrops for dogs. I believe all dogs are precious and treat each dog with love. I am currently working remotely / at home. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give pets the attention they need and deserve. I ask that you check with my schedule for booking. Thanks. I make sure there are no foods, plants, or products dangerous to dogs within their reach. I check that dogs my have specific routines, allergies, or food sensitivities. I also acknowledge that clients have different preferences for pet care.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I also have fostered dogs in the past. I am a full-time, online student studying architecture. I am able to do multiple walks a day, give attention, play and take lots of naps! I strive to give the most love and attention to all creatures. I have a patio for dogs to sunbathe in. A lot of grass area in our yard and also in sidewalks for potty breaks and long walks.
“First time we used Emily. She took care of our German Shepherd and Cat. Both were well taken care of, communication was great and Emily was very patient getting instructions and updates from us. We will hire her again.”
“Ani was amazing with Ryu! She gave me so many updates during the weekend and sent many photos. Definitely would feel comfortable having her watch my cat any time I’m out of town!”
“Deana was so kind and trustworthy. She seems to be the first Rover that my very spoiled maldita actually liked and felt comfortable with in a short period of time. She knew exactly how to care for dogs that are special in character, and I can tell Deana has a good heart for our furry babies. She's really cool too and very easy to talk to. She sent me photos and gave me updates! Highly recommended! So happy to have her care for our Wendie, and will definitely have her care for my spoiled girl again whenever we need to go Universal Studios and Disneyland! Hope she takes us back! THANK YOU D!”

I love the outdoors and go on walks, hikes and play games daily which the dogs love! dog sitting is my full time job so making sure your dogs needs are met is my priority. Going for daily hikes, walks and going to the park are a normal Day. I live in a 1 floor style bungalow with beautiful trails and parks surrounding catered to dogs. Having been a dog owner all my life, you can feel secure that your dog is safe at all times.
“we had Celest housesit with our slightly anxious and shy pup, Nebula and would gladly have her back with us! Celest was communicative from the first meet and greet to the day of the sit. we received photos and updates. when we got home, it was clear that Nebula had gotten very comfortable and cozy despite her initial apprehension. i really appreciated Celest’s gentle, patient demeanor with Nebula 🥹💛 thank you!!”
“Namie is great! She is attentive and kind. She took excellent care of my sweet senior dog with separation anxiety and followed all my directions. Throughout her stay, Namie sent me pictures and gave me thoughtful updates. When I returned home, my dog was happy and comfortable. :) I will definitely ask her to provide house / dog sitting again!”
“I am beyond lucky that I found Annabelle to help with my pup! We just relocated from Seattle and have had a hard time finding someone my dog loves. My dog is a bit reactive on leash and requires oral medication twice daily. Annabelle took on the job and followed instructions beyond my expectations. My pup was so relaxed when I got back from my trip, so I know he was well taken care of and at ease while I was away! I would 100% recommend Annabelle and will be using her regularly.”

Ani was very communicative and took great care of my dog and my home while I was out of town for work. She sent photos everyday which obv made me feel very happy and relieved my dog was in good care while I was gone. When I got home, I noticed my home was actually in better shape than I left it! She arranged the pillows and blankets in a way I had not thought of, but will start doing so in the future! Thanks for the interior decorating inspo, ani :)
Chemil is amazing! Communication was super easy, Chemil was great to chat with and easily understood and took on the dogs’ daytime routine, and we really appreciated the frequent photo updates! We came home from our day trip to two very happy and well taken care of pups. I highly recommend Chemil for sitting!
Kathleen is amazing! She was great with our dog Muncy while we were traveling. She also handled an unexpected and scary electrical issue at our house very promptly and responsibly. She kept great regular communication and sent some really cute photos of our pup that made our stay away stress-free!
Laura was a fantastic sitter for our flat-coat retriever Piper. She sent us daily photos of Piper on a walk or enjoying her play time, and was always prompt in responding to inquiries. Our favorite photo was Piper sprawled out on Laura's lap looking up at her lovingly. She left our home spotless to boot! We would welcome her back as a sitter in a heartbeat.
Shelby obviously has a ton of experience taking great care of both cats and dogs. She made herself available within 3 days notice and was very knowledgeable, kind and caring. She even sent me photos of my fur babies during the day. I highly recommend Shelby for dog walks and pet sitting. I will definitely tap on her again.
Lauriane is great! She took time to meet Chili and I before watching her - it was great to meet her and get to know her style of dog sitting prior to leaving Chili with her. Chili instantly liked her! She's a clear communicator, and sent lots of updates and photos of Chili, which I appreciated. Next time we need a sitter, I will be contacting Lauriane!
Mari took care of our 13 year old corgi for 2 weeks who has arthritis and Addison’s disease. She did a wonderful job managing her medicines, bringing daisy on her daily walks and sending pics and updates every day. We would gladly have her care for our sweet girl again.
Anne seems like part of the family now and our dog Oliver thinks so, too. Anne has been so good with Oliver that he is obviously missing her, checking in the guest room to see if she is there. Anne does a wonderful job caring for our dog and keeping an eye on things at our house. I would recommend Anne without hesitation.
Zakiyyah was awesome with our 4 fur babies. They liked her a lot. Directions for their care were followed to a T. Zakiyyah was able to house sit as a last minute request this was great for our schedule. When asked if she could stay a bit later she did and we were grateful. Zakiyyah you rock and we will definitely recommend you to others and will book again when we visit again. Thank you for messaging and sending pictures as well as updates. Our fur babies will miss you.

Jess makes traveling so much easier for us because we know our boys are home, happy, and loved. They're so excited to see her that they barely notice we're leaving, and when we get home, they're like, "were you gone?" which is exactly what I want - doggos who get to continue enjoying their normal lives even when we're not here. I'm so grateful to Jess for caring for them and sending us pics of them lounging in their usual spots. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would easily recommend her services to anyone else who needs someone loving and responsible to care for their fur babies while they're gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in San Marino is $77 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $104 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 October 2026, there are 14,962 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Marino. 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 Marino 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 Marino 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 Marino 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
