“Yan was lovely and took great care of our three dogs and our home! All of our dogs require daily medications and have some special needs, and she handled them like a pro. She took them on lots of walks and sent us daily updates. Our home was just perfectly clean and just as we left it. We look forward to working with Yan again and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jodi was incredible with our dog, Sam. She was responsive, loving, compassionate with her care of him. She kept us well informed of his activities. Additionally, our home was well cared for. I felt completely comfortable leaving Sam in her care and would highly recommend her for caring for a family pet. I will definitely use her service moving forward. Thank you Jodi😊”
“This was the first time Kristin sat with my dog Lucy, who is a rescue initially mistrusting of "new people." To my relief, after the initial encounter, Lucy was OK with Kristin and I felt good about leaving them together for a short weekend. Kristin has a sweet, easy-going temperament that would help any pet get comfortable. She took good care of Lucy as well as my home and sent me pictures and reports about their walks. I definitely recommend Kristin.”
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort, treating every pet like a member of my own family. We are a warm, animal-loving family! My 8-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son adore pets, and we love spending quality time walking, playing, and giving them lots of affection. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and gentle companionship in a safe, loving environment! I have a very flexible daily schedule, which allows me to focus fully on pet care. Whether it is morning walks, mid-day playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and needs. Safety is my top priority. I ensure a clean, comfortable, and hazard-free environment for every pet. I strictly follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, and care. I also provide regular photos and daily updates for your peace of mind.
“Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We had to go out of the country for two weeks, the longest we’ve been away from home and pet. Andy took care of our home and looked after our cat during the entire time, playing with her, keeping her engaged and sending us constant updates and pictures of her. By the end of the stay the two had bonded which was really surprising to us considering our cat gets nervous when we leave. Highly recommend Andy and we’ll definitely want him over for any of our future pet sitting needs.”
“Forgot to leave this review, but Marcus was incredible. So easy to communicate with, very accommodating with our in house sitting request, all in all, great experience. His pictures of Goober and Ollie were so precious as well.”
“Elisa was great! Very conscientious and comprehensive with her daily updates! She clearly bonded very well with our dog, who seemed to be looking for her when he woke up the next day. The kitchen also seemed to be even cleaner than we left it. We've already booked with Elisa again, and highly recommend her!”
“Aine is such a sweetheart. My dog fell in love with Aine at the first day they met. Knowing that Aine is taking care of my little princess, I fell comfortable and relaxed. I was updated with news and pictures everyday. Aine impeccable way to keep us updated made our trip more enjoyable.”
“Margaret was absolutely wonderful with our new puppy and both of our dogs. When our vet called to say our puppy needed medication, she handled everything with care and made sure he was well taken care of. She is dependable, attentive, and clearly treats our dogs with care. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have someone we can rely on. We highly recommend her!”
“Krystle was wonderful with our Australian shepherd, Margot. She took her on long walks and hikes, which is exactly what a high-energy Aussie needs, and Margot always came home happy and tired. Krystle sent pictures and updates regularly, so we never had to wonder how things were going. She also left our home spotless. We'd book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit apprehensive. Veronica was great. She watched our dog today so we could do a 1/2 day rafting trip. She was punctual and took him for a few walks. It worked out perfectly.”
“Alex & Chowder are the absolute best at providing excellent animal care. We have 2 anxious dogs who need a lot of specific attention, plus a cat which Alex (and Chowder) happily took on for 2 weeks while we travelled. We did a couple of trials beforehand which Alex was super open to, so the dogs could get used to her and Chowder, and Alex was extremely patient with all of my questions/anxieties about leaving the dogs, particularly our rescue dog who we had never left for so long before. Turns out, there was no need to worry - after a couple of days, they were all in a routine and were fully settled and happy. Alex would update us everyday and send some photos, would take the dogs on fun adventures and snuggle with them all on the couch. Both dogs cried a little when her and Chowder left. Finding amazing animal care is super hard and we feel so lucky we've found Alex who managed our little trio of crazy animals perfectly. Can't wait to work with Alex again and I'm sure the animals can't either!”
“Amina took care of my senior cat Taylor for a long weekend and I definitely recommend her to look after your pets. She was kind enough to meet before the stay and Taylor was comfortable with her presence and was out and about the whole weekend. Amina took daily photos and kept my apartment clean for my arrival. Book her if you need someone to look after your apartment and beloved pets!”
“Victoria took great care of our dog, cat, and home on very short notice!!! She was very responsive, sent regular updates, and left our home in great shape!! We would absolutely rebook her in the future and recommend her to others!”
“Ozcan took amazing care of our dog, Elle. Caring, attentive, and lots of updates. They make leaving our dog, which is usually the toughest the toughest part of our trip, much more manageable. They stayed at our place and took excellent care of it. We’d absolutely book Ozcan again”
“Adrienne was wonderful with our two dogs! Her calm energy was a great fit for our pups, who need a loving and quiet home. I could tell immediately upon our first meeting that she was a kind and compassionate person, which put us at ease. She sent us cute videos and updates, which were fun to get. Our house was immaculate when we returned home, too. Highly recommend Adrienne!”
“Jen was an amazing sitter for my pup Bella, and we are so lucky to have found her! Jen has a calm, warm, and assuring energy which was perfect for my husky/shepherd mix who suffers from anxiety around new people and new places. Jen was very patient with my pup, and found ways to help ease my dog's anxiety by taking her out on long walks, on morning runs, and unwinding on the lawn. Jen even incorporated energetic healing for my dog during their time together, and Bella now seems less frazzled, less reactive, and more responsive to me compared to before. Jen went above and beyond, and I felt complete peace of mind and full trust that Jen was taking excellent care of Bella while I was away. She was communicative and responsive, and not only gave Bella the most loving care, but also left the home cleaner when she found it. I will absolutely be having Jen sit with my pup again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sausalito
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sausalito on Rover is $90.95 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 7,689 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sausalito. 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 Sausalito 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 Sausalito 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 Sausalito 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.
