“Jodi was SO sweet w our dog! Lots of walks and play time. Always very timely and communicative. And she is very very clean! Jodi goes above and beyond to keep our home clean and tidy.”
About: I have trained a pit Bull (off leash and crate trained) & Frenchie (puppy pads & leash trained), fostered cats, and cleaned fish aquariums. When in doubt, take your puppy on a walk! I work remotely and am flexible to help out with caring for animals by taking them on a walk/hike or having them over for the night. I have a fenced in front and back yard but would train the dog to poop/pee while going for a walk. I hike Mandeville canyon weekly and would be happy to take your dog with me for exercise.
“David stayed with our dogs for a week while we were on vacation and he took such great care of them. He messaged us frequently with photos of their dog walks each day and informe sus of anything unusual happening at the house. We will definitely be requesting his services again!”
About: I've been pet sitting for a couple years now, with a real soft spot for senior pets and special needs animals. I'm also totally at home with multi-pet households, so if you've got a full house, no problem. Your pets get treated like my own, updates and all. I balance a part-time job at a local cafe (Saturday–Tuesday, daytime) with full-time school, but since most of my coursework is online, I'm only in a classroom one day a week. That means my evenings and overnights are wide open, perfect for walks, feeding schedules, overnight stays, or just extra company for your pets when you're away. I'm also flexible during the day on Wednesday–Friday if you need daytime visits too. Good catch — here's the corrected version: --- I offer house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and dog walks. However you need help, I've got it covered. House sitting keeps your pet in their own space and routine, which tends to be easiest on anxious or older pets; drop-ins cover feeding, litter/cage cleaning, and playtime; and walks are tailored to your dog's energy level. Whatever the service, you'll get photos and updates along the way.
“Jackie watched my two frenchies and my house while I was away on a long weekend trip to the east coast. She was extremely professional, communicative, and my dogs loved having her stay. They also loved having a new buddy Finley, her gentle beagle to hang out with ! She took fantastic care of my house as well, even going the extra mile to wash sheets, dishes and I came home to a clean house and happy dogs !”
About: I have been pet siting for over 5 years now with neighbors, coworkers, and family friends. I have housesat dogs in their exiting stages of life all the way down to new born puppies. My longest dogsit was 3.5 weeks and I still sit for that family on occasion. Another client in Marin I cat sit for regularly. I am very active so walking/jogging even multiple times a day are not a problem for me. My work schedule is only part time so I can care for your dear ones more frequently. I work part time and event work so my schedule is very flexible. I also already travel and housesit all over the bay so I am accustomed to stay or visits for care. I wake up early and sleep late in the evening. I view animals as our more than human friends in this world. And I believe they have the capacity to miss you as much as a human might so I provide them company and care so they don't feel alone. "He is an excellent communicator and genuinely enjoys playing w/ my dog Raina" - Client in San Mateo.
About: With years of experience caring for neighbors' and family friends' pets, I’ve become a trusted pet sitter for both weekend stays and extended vacations. Whether it's keeping pets company during a short weekend away or ensuring they're well-loved during long trips, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the attention and care they deserve. Since I’m a student taking remote classes, my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I can easily fit pet sitting into my daily or weekly routine, ensuring your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'm available to keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets. I make sure that the space is pet-proofed, free of hazards, and stocked with everything your pet might need—from toys to treats. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, calm environment where they can relax and feel secure. In clients' homes, I follow any specific instructions provided to ensure consistency in their routine and comfort. I also keep an open line of communication, sending updates to ensure peace of mind. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.
“Christopher house sat for us while we were away for the weekend. Our yellow lab Stella had a great time! Chris was communicative, punctual, and reliable. We received several photos of our dog and she looked happy as ever. Would absolutely book again!”
“Gage is amazing and really cared for my dog as if he was his own. He has such a passion for dogs and it shows! He’s wonderful, prompt, and very responsible. I appreciate the time he spent caring for my dog. Thank you Gage! <3”
About: For over 20 years I have cared for dogs for friends, family, and lately through TrustedHousesitters. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise and best care needed, so you can relax and enjoy your time away from home. I only work part-time and I am close to retirement, so I'm in a position to easily adjust my schedule to meet your housesitting needs. Your pet's safety and well-being is my top priority. I am a very responsible and dependable person and I will give you frequent updates with text messages or otherwise to give you peace of mind while you are away from your pet(s).
“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!”
“Paula was amazing! My dog is shy and anxious, but Paula was very patient and gave her time and space to warm up. She sent detailed updates with great pictures and took such good care of my girl.”
“This is our 2nd time booking with Amber to house sit and take care of our dog and she was great! Sent us pictures of our baby, showed up on time, spent quality time with Fofinha and even helped out with washing the sheets for our next visitor. We will continue booking with Amber in the near future!!!”
About: I have had cats since I was 2, they are amazing. I give my cat medication everyday. I may not have a dog but I wish I did. I love being with dogs and going on their “sniff walks”. I am currently in college right now as a second year. I have a fair amount of free time. I am free all weekend, when not at home. At my home I have a fully fenced backyard. At your house, I will follow the directions you give me to a tea, to give everyone peace of mind. 🙂
“Since we first connected with Kellie this past spring, she and our little furry guy have had many adventures together! From neighborhood walks and nature hikes, visits to the park and to Kellie's place, and a recent overnight in our home, Kellie's warmth and excellent care—plus the added bonus of her terrific photo updates—have made for a lasting relationship. Each of these wonderful experiences led to our having the highest level of comfort and trust for their most recent adventure—a week together in our home while we (his people) traveled abroad. Of course there were many details to prepare for and a variety of things to be a bit anxious about before the trip, but worrying about excellent pet care was not one of them! Our furry friend can be a bit concerned when something new is in the air, but as soon as he hears that Kellie will be here soon, he knows things will be just fine. All the qualities that make Kellie such an amazing caregiver made the week we were away a grand success in every way! Thank you again Kellie for helping to make lovely memories for us and most importantly for our little guy. We all look forward to more joyful times together.”
“Kevin and Alex watched our house and pets for two weeks. They were great communicating and caring for our large dog, cat, snake and fish. Alex kept his cool and captured our pet snake when he escaped (prior to us leaving without us knowing). Changed batteries in our door lock and were always available if anything came up. They walked our 115 pound dog and sent daily photo updates. Highly recommend Kevin and Alex!”
About: Hi, I'm Nick, a Kentfield local who's home for the next few months and looking to spend them outside with dogs. My dog's name is Holly (short for Hollywood - we've named all of our dogs after Top Gun characters ((don't ask)) and I look forward to hiking and walking her every day! Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who needs to burn off steam or a mellow senior who prefers a slow sniff around the block, I'll tailor each walk to their pace and personality. I'll keep to your dog's routine, follow your instructions, and send you an update after every walk so you know how it went. For five years I worked at a camp as a counselor and lifeguard, which means I'm used to staying attentive, responsible, and calm while looking after others. When I'm not walking dogs, you can usually find me playing guitar or getting out on the trails around Marin! I'm currently looking for full time positions in New York City, but am back home until I find something. That also means I'm more than happy to hang around at all hours of the day! I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert on every walk. For overnights, I follow your dog's routine, keep your home secure and tidy, and send regular updates. My camp counselor and lifeguard background keeps me calm and responsible.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Strawberry is $75
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Strawberry
Lauren provided outstanding care to our beloved dog and took wonderful care of the house during a long weekend. She is extremely diligent, attentive and detail-oriented, following all of our instructions and alerting us about anything unusual. Despite my having made a silly error in the booking (left off one day at the end), Lauren was totally flexible and able to stay with our pet until we could arrive back in town. She sent us photos and videos along the way, which we always appreciate. I give her my highest recommendation without hesitation.
Mari is absolutely wonderful! She has an incredible connection with animals and is very warm and caring with them. She is that way with people as well. Trust her 100%. She went over every detail of my instructions for her to ensure she didn’t have any questions before I left. And then sent me twice daily updates, pictures and videos. I have one day who is very shy and barks at everyone. Buy day 3 with Mari, he was cuddling up with her for belly rubs. Finally, she left my house spotless with fresh sheets, clean dishes, etc.
Kathryn went above and beyond to keep my heat-sensitive, special-needs dog safe and comfortable during a very hot spell while I was away. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands with her, and her house sitting is what allows me to travel. On top of it all, she takes excellent care of my home. I’m so grateful for her!
Renee is a great pet sitter!! She sent me regular updates and photos. I can tell she loved my pets and took really good care of them. I will definitely have her watch Rosco and Bella again. She took care of my apartment too. Everything was very clean when I got back. Highly recommend Renee!
Anjali house sat for a week and took special care of all my kitties. One had recently been diagnosed with pancreatitis, so she had to keep a close eye on her to make sure she was eating okay and not stealing the kittens food. She sent lots of sweet pictures and kept me up to date each day. She also took great care of the house. Highly recommend.

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 Strawberry 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 Strawberry 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 Strawberry 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!

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 .

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.
