“Our dogs loved Roselle! We came home to very happy dogs. Most importantly, the dogs were not stressed at all after we were gone a few days. After their initial excitement when we got home, they settled right in like we had never left. She gave them their medications and did everything according to our instructions with taking care of all three dogs as well as our house.”
“Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana”
“Jamie was a caring, kind sitter and I felt totally confident after meeting her that she would take excellent care of my little dog. She was understanding and helpful while I was on vacation. A pleasure meeting and working with her on all arrangements!”
“Our dogs loved Marie. She was very attentive to their needs and gave them extra attention. She was a great house guest during our trip. We will absolutely be booking with Marie again.”
“Amelia was awesome! She stayed at our home with our 2 dogs for 10 days. Dogs and home were well cared-for. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. Highly recommended!”
“Tiali was great! She was super accommodating in getting to know my GSD who can be a little stranger-nervous and both my dog & cat absolutely loved her! She kept up great communication, sent lots of photos & left our home well cared for.”
About: My attention to detail and compassionate care cant be beat! Whether it's specific meal times, medications, a preference of long walks or short, playtime, lots of pets and belly rubs or a bit more space, Ill be attuned to every different personality and their needs! Their safety and comfort is always my top priority. Ive been a nurse for 13 years. I take pride in how I show up and care for my patients and your sweet furry babies deserve nothing less and will always get the very best care with me😊 My schedule is open and pretty flexible for the remainder of the year. Spending my time caring for your pet will add so much more joy to my days and I hope to theirs, too! While I can't offer pet sitting in my own home, I'm happy to do so in yours. This also allows your fur babies to stay as comfy and cozy as possible in the environment they already feel the most safe in while you're away😊
“Phenomenal job with our 12-week old puppy and 2 cats. It was a lot of work but she sure took care of them all with lots of care. She gave me updates and followed all the instructions. Would recommend and definitely boon again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! The sitter was attentive and loving, taking my cockapoo puppy for delightful strolls in a stroller while ensuring my 6-year-old labradoodle was comfortable and happy. It was clear they genuinely cared for my pets, and I returned home to two very content dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Took great care of my pets-took them on lots of walks and cuddles! Gave me updates about them several times daily. Felt like my dogs had so much fun while I was gone. Came home to cute little photos on the counter of all of them as an extra surprise! Dog person through and through-would recommend and use again!”
“Rose did an outstanding job taking care of our 5 year old doodle! We appreciated the daily updates that included pictures & videos. Rose also took very good care of our house while we were away. We were so impressed with her care & attention to details, that we are booking her again in the next month.”
“Maureen did a wonderful job of connecting with Speedy and taking care of him. Although he tends to be shy, he was affectionate and comfortable with her from the start. We loved hearing frequently from Maureen and seeing the daily pictures that she sent, which reassured us that Speedy was a happy kitty with her. She also took great care of our plants and home. Her warm and positive personality make her a joy to deal with. We will certainly want her to take care of Speedy during our future trips. Thank you, Maureen!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for family pets for as long as I can remember, so being around animals has always been a natural part of my life. During the pandemic, I began fostering dogs and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra patience and attention. Through fostering, I’ve become comfortable with a wide range of personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, basic training and reinforcement, administering routine care, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. Most importantly, I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual personality, preferences, and routine so they receive the same love and attention I would give my own pets. I’ve fostered and cared for dogs and have a dog of my own, so pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule with full availability, which means I can give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every pet care setting. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, while providing plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat them like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
“I was very nervous about leaving my two beloved dogs, including a terminally ill pup, with ANYONE, but George reassured me that my girls were in competent hands. George took the time to meet us in person, and then again on a video chat, to make sure they understood exactly what our needs were and how to handle Alegria's medications. George was on time, asked questions during the stay as needed, followed the directions carefully, took photos regularly (and on request, when I just had to see them!), focused on providing love and care for my girls, and on top of that, left my house neat and tidy. I'm thrilled to have found someone I know can take care of the girls is I need to travel--will definitely use George again!! Thanks, George!”
“Rebeca did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our reactive dog, Ginger. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about Ginger's well-being. Caring for a reactive dog requires extra understanding and compassion, and Rebeca handled everything beautifully. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and the sweetest stories about Ginger's day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, Ginger was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our house was also in great shape. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Rebeca gave to Ginger and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“We were completely at ease throughout Diane's time caring for our dogs and home. When we first connected, Diane was warm and responsive, and it was clear that she was someone who has a genuine love for animals. Diane did an incredible job caring for Annie, Charlie and Winston, WOW! She made sure the dogs were well exercised, happy, and had plenty of attention and affection. The most important thing Diane provided us was peace of mind. When we returned home, our home was calm and cared for, and we had three very happy pups! We would not hesitate to recommend Diane or to use her again for caring for our dogs or our home. She provides top-notch care, is reliable, thoughtful, and a person we would trust 100% to care for our home and pets. Thank you again Diane 💛”
“Lynn was a godsend for my family and took amazing and very loving care of our very active golden doodle. I would not hesitate to rebook her again. She’s very trustworthy, communicative and left the house in tip top condition. She’s so personable that I can see her becoming my friend.”
“It was so wonderful having the peace of mind knowing that my fur baby was in good hands while I was away. Icy did an amazing job of communicating how things were going at home including sending daily pictures. We will definitely be using Icy again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Martin on Rover is $88.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,349 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Martin. 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 Martin 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 Martin 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 Martin 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
