“Alexandra recently stayed at our house for 5 days and care for our two dogs. Our older dog is 16 and is blind and deaf. He requires meds twice a day and needs to be carried outside to pee and poop. Our other dog is an energetic goofball who barks when excited and requires a great deal of reassurance. Alexandra was a pro. She was unflappable. Throughout the week she sent updates every day and pics of happy dogs! The house was left in perfect condition. We couldn’t be happier!”

“We loved having Liliana and her partner watch our senior pup Kira! She was so sweet and calm with Kira when meeting her and my dog immediately took a liking to her. We got pretty regular updates on how Kira was doing with some pictures so we knew she was in good hands. Our dog also has some special needs with acid reflux episodes and Liliana did an awesome job communicating with me when it happened and kept Kira calm to get her through the episode. When we got home, they had already washed the bed sheets and towels and the house was super clean and well kept. Kira also was happy and looked so good! Will definitely be using them again for our future trips!”

About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I take care of dogs by keeping the environment calm, clean and safe, giving them patient, reliable attention. I make sure they feel comfortable, supervised and cared for. I’m a student at Carrington College so I have a busy schedule in the morning, but i’m free in the afternoon! My school schedule is Monday and Wednesday from 7:30am-11:30am & Tuesday and Friday from 8:30am-2:00pm I’m free Thursday, Saturday & Sunday all day. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet‑safe, and free of anything they could chew or swallow. I keep doors and windows secured, monitor pets closely, and give them a calm environment. I follow their feeding, play, and potty routines exactly as the owner requests.

About: Hi! I’m Yvonne, a lifelong animal lover with several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it's a quick potty walk or a longer adventure around the neighborhood, I love helping dogs stay happy, healthy, and active. For cats, I provide calm, respectful care – clean litter, fresh water, food, playtime, and plenty of gentle attention (when they want it!). I'm reliable, communicative, and experienced with all types of pet temperaments. Whether you're at work or away on a trip, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets with love and attention. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Whether it's a mid-morning walk or an early afternoon visit, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate recurring bookings and short-notice requests whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. For dog walks, I always use secure, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, and I avoid busy or unsafe areas. I never walk multiple dogs from different households at the same time, so your dog gets my full attention and care. For drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely — whether it's feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, or giving meds. I respect your home and your pet’s routine, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure before I leave. You can count on me to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your pet is happy and in safe hands.

“Hi Kristi, thank you so much. You were incredible this past week with our two lovebugs, they are small but they have their own mighty quirks that can be a bit to care for, and they were happy walked and loved on when we returned. I was so grateful at how reliable you were, since it was my first time asking for house/pet sitting, and humbled by the way you went above and beyond caring not just for the pups but for the house. Really so lucky to have found you and I look forward to next time. Thanks for making a much needed trip away possible.”

About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.

“Mika was the perfect sitter for us! I can't say enough good things about her stay with our sweet baby who has serious separation anxiety. She was loving and patient with him and barely left his side. We always hate leaving him because we know that he will be distressed but Mika gave him so much attention, I don't think he missed us at all! She sent great updates and pictures every day that we really appreciated. And when we returned, the house was in perfect order; towels and sheets cleaned, dishes washed, etc. - she had even left us with a batch of her homemade cookies! I really can't thank Mika (and Mary) enough - truly the perfect sitter(s)!”

About: I’ve owned dogs & cats my whole life. Currently raising a new puppy, Mayzie, alongside our two cats, Oreo & Pebbles. We’ve benefited from others taking care of our pets and we want to pay it forward. I’m reliable, professional, communicative, work from home full time, attentive to pet needs, can pick up & drop off, have a crate for use, can separate or let pets play, Vet is 5 minutes way, & have a big fenced backyard. I will give you piece of mind your pet is in a loving home while you’re away. I always provide minimum 3 or more dog walks a day while home. There’s lots of backyard fetch and fresh air. I follow the routines you request. And ensure your furry friend will have a premium stay experience with us! I work from home full time, but have lots of flexibility. I take my own pup out for 3-5 walks a day and go to the dog park 2-3 times a week. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. I know each pet is unique and no two pets are alike. I follow a pretty good routine schedule with my own dog & cats.

About: Experienced pet owner who treats responsibility and genuine care as non-negotiable. I’ve had two dogs of my own and have cared for the cats and dogs of 10+ neighbors in my old neighborhood. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m also really great at keeping up with puppy energy! I run my own online business, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust my routine to fit your dog’s daily routine. I usually take dogs for walks anytime during the week. On weekends, I sometimes take 1–2 dogs on longer hikes based on people‘s needs, so they can get plenty of exercise and burn off some energy. I mainly offer daily drop-in visits and dog walks, weekend hikes, and boarding for small dogs. I have a spacious home with a front yard where small dogs can safely enjoy some sunshine, play, and relax. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time for boarding, so every pup gets plenty of attention, care, and love.

Mariah is an exceptional pet & house sitter. We are always nervous about onboarding a new sitter because we have three rescue pups of varying sizes and neuroses, plus our current spicy little foster dog. Mariah came over for a meet-and-greet in advance, asked great questions, and carefully reviewed our written directions. During the two-night stay she sent us plenty of cute photos and updates, and it was obvious that our dogs trusted her quickly. We will absolutely have Mariah back in the future!

Phuong took fantastic care of our cat and dog! While our dog care is pretty typical, our cat has had a number of chronic issues. He needs multiple oral medications daily. He is also diabetic and needs insulin injections. While he is pretty easy going, he’s not used to strangers giving him medication. It was the first time I’d had anyone he didn’t know take care of him. Phuong did an amazing job and her regular updates put me at ease. I would definitely ask her to house sit again.

FAQs for House Sitting - San Pablo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in San Pablo is $77 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $111 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 7,871 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Pablo. 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 Pablo 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 Pablo 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pablo 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Pablo. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
