“Mary did a great job watching my pup while I was away for six days. She gave him lots of attention and short walks (he’s a frenchie so can’t walk too far in the summer). She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out, so my mind was at ease while being far away. My place also immaculate upon my return. Overall, I was very pleased and would definitely book Mary again.”
“Courtney took such great care of our senior dogs. One of our dogs is blind with a fragile spine (herniated disc) and ear infections. She followed our instructions diligently. I received photos and prompt communication. We already rebooked Courtney for two other times, this time for a longer duration. Thanks Courtney!!”
“We have had some great pet sitters butMonika is the best! She stayed at our house when we were away in vacation, gave Oreo amazing amounts of attention, took her out for multiple walks and outings every day, and we appreciated the frequent updates. Very highly recommend!”
About: I have been a full time live in pet sitter since January 2026. I have done over 25 sits and maintain a high standard for the quality of care I provide. I genuinely love being around animals and take a lot of pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also very responsible, attentive, and respectful of people’s homes and routines. Hi! I’m Kylie—31 years old and originally from Martinez, CA. I currently work in residential real estate in Walnut Creek, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m typically out working from around 7am until 2–3pm, and I work from home 1–2 days a week, so I’m able to provide plenty of flexibility and attention when caring for pets. I’m naturally an early riser and enjoy a healthy, structured routine. Not Applicable. I am not offering boarding services at this time as I am a full time live in pet sitter. Reviews from other sites included.
“Thank you Sabrina for being able to house sit my dog with short notice. She took my dog nice walks and even a little jogging with him. She also vacuumed and kept my house clean. My dog was happy so I’m happy too. 🐶🥰”
“Trevor was great. He responded very quickly. Showed up on time & did everything we asked & more! I will absolutely reach out to Trevor for more house/dog sitting. Highly recommended by us!”
About: Dog walking and dog sitting was my first ever job! I have dog walked and dog sat for my friends, my family, and worked for local dog walking company for a couple years—taking care and walking multiple dogs a week. I have also cat sat for many years and volunteered at an animal shelter and have lots of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats. I love my pets and would love to care of yours like they are my own! I’m currently working part time from home and have availability during the day for dog walks. I am also available on some weeks/weekends for dog and cat sitting! I have a fenced yard and a very walkable neighborhood for dogs. I can crate dogs and take dogs on walks. I also have had dogs in this home and currently have 1 friendly cat.
“Jessica was great with our senior English bulldog. She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated while we were away. I'm *that* dog owner that obsessed over my pooch and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Absolutely stellar care! Myra provided such living and attentive care to our somewhat troublesome cur, who took to her like butter on warm bread. Myra kept us up to date with beautiful photographs and humorous commentary. She’s a delight and we look forward to our next engagement already!”
“Haniya took care of our 2 kitties and pup overnight. She was very communicative, sending photos and updates and quick to text back when we reached out. Haniya was great managing all 3 of the pets and their needs, including giving insulin and oral medicine to one of our kitties and a pill to our pup. We came home to happy animals and a clean home!”
“Allie was amazing! She was incredibly trustworthy, communicative, attentive, and kind. Since she’s also a dog trainer, she knew exactly how to handle a young puppy and made us feel completely at ease leaving Churro with her. She even taught Churro some new things while we were away! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Demi was a great house sitter for my dog Meatball! She was respectful of the house, gave us great updates and showed him a lot of love. We would definitely use her again!”
“Rachel continues to be an amazing sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure Rooney is comfortable and happy and is wonderful about keeping in touch. Rooney loves spending time with her, and it’s such a relief having a sitter I can trust completely while I’m away.”
“First times a charm! 20 years of dog and house sitters. You know the winners when you see them. Angie was a winner. Super communicative. Obvious love for animals. And, she is an adult you can trust your house and pets to. Glad she was available on Rover and feel lucky to have found her.”
“I am so glad that I found Aubrey! She patiently built a relationship with my sweet but fearful dog, Ruby. She took the time to learn our routines and has helped manage Ruby's reactivity with such kindness and positivity. I look forward to Aubrey's clever pupdates and cute pics when they return from walks and playtime. I love not having to worry when I am working or out of town because I know Ruby is so well taken care of.”

Allison was a wonderful cat and house sitter. She visited twice before our departure to make sure she understood all of our instructions. Allison was a great communicator and very attentive to my cat. She left my home beautifully clean and even washed her sheets and towels. I would highly recommend Allison to others needing pet or cat sitting.
Trevor took great care of our puppy! He was communicative throughout the visit, checking in when he arrived and again before he left. He also sent us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so happy with the care he provided and truly appreciate how well he looked after our little fur baby. We would definitely book with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alamo Oaks is $77 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $98 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.

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 Alamo Oaks 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 Alamo Oaks 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 Alamo Oaks 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.
