“From the moment we met Elizabeth we saw she was a professional. She is a natural animal lover and treated our fur baby exactly as we would have. She took our dog for walks, played with her, and let her sleep with her. We really appreciated that and the updates and pictures she sent along the way.”
About: Hello! My name is Mary and I’m a retired grandmother who has been a dog owner and dog lover all my life. Although I’m not able to own a furry friend in my home right now, I often take care of my children’s and relative’s dogs whenever needed. I completely understand the importance of feeling at ease with someone in your home taking care of your loved one. Being retired opens up my availability to be flexible to accommodate your needs. Any day, any time, any length, regardless of Holidays or school schedules. I’ve cared for children, grandchildren, and animals my whole life. I am responsible and dependable and love them unconditionally. I will be respectful of your home and your privacy throughout my house sitting stay.
“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”
“Thanks again to Courtney, we were able to enjoy spring break knowing our house and pets were in good hands. Came back to happy pets and a house in good order as usual!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased and appreciative to leave our Lilly with Brittany. So comforting to know she is being cared for by such a professional and pet loving person. 5 Stars and would give her more if we could!”
“Annie did an amazing job housesitting our two dogs while we were out of state visitng family and friends. She sent many updates and photos, was incredibly prompt and courteous, and gave us the gift of peace of mind while away from our pups - which is something that's hard for me! We will certainly be booking Annie again and I encourage others to consider Annie when looking for execllent pet care.”
“Bella had such a great time with Laura! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, followed all instructions, updated us with lots of photos / updates, & gave our dog so much love!! Bella was super comfortable meeting Laura & got along right away , definitely felt at ease the entire time we were away. Would definitely book with again! 🫶🏻”
“Lara was great with our dog, Rue for house sitting! We did an initial meet and greet beforehand. During her stay, we got plenty of pictures. We returned early and Lara came back for her belongings and Rue was thrilled to see her again! You can tell she had a good time and was in good hands. Thank you, Lara!”
“My husband and I have had a hard time finding the right sitter to watch our fur babies since moving to California, but now we don't have to look any further. Aida was absolutely amazing with our girls. Her communication was impeccable, she followed all of the instructions, left the house spotless, and most importantly our pups were happy and relaxed as if we had never left. We are excited to book more trips knowing our pups will be well looked after. Thank you for everything Aida!”
“Tina was great. She made sure our dog was happy and well cared for. She took the initiative to bring Millie to the vet when she started limping to have her evaluated and rule out any serious injury. The house was left spotless. Thanks Tina”
“Hailey took good care of our Rhodesian Ridgeback Damson who can be a lap full, just ask Hailey! She picked after Samson in yard and left house neat and clean. Thank you Hailey, good job!”
“Lena did a great job taking care of Frankie when I was on a long trip to Portugal! I could tell Frankie was very comfortable with Lena when I saw a pic of her sleeping on her lap. Lena took her on hiking adventures too. My home was spotless when I got home. I will gladly use Lena’s services again if she is available!”
“Julia is absolutely wonderful. My pups were well taken care of, and I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated! She went above and beyond and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. Highly recommended her services!”
About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my Kids' Country job around 10am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 6:30pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently care for 1 cat and 3 dogs ranging from 2 to 13 years old, so I’m very comfortable with both energetic young pets and senior animals who need extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their routine, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I can check in or spend nights housesitting any day of the week, as I’m very open these coming months. And I love spending time with animals. I have a big backyard with a fence and two friendly dogs and cats, both can be crated or moved to another house if needed.
“Vicki did a phenomenal job taking care of our boy Mylo. Mylo had to get some emergency stitches the day before we were going out of town. Vicki handled his care perfectly, sent us regular updates and dealt with all the drama that comes with Mylo having to wear a cone. We cannot thank her enough and absolutely would recommend her to everyone else.”
About: Like, I REALLY love dogs. As a young girl, I started my own dog walking business, attended SPCA summer camp, and spent an entire family vacation in Mexico feeding treats to stray dogs instead of going to the beach. Now I even attend a school where the mascot is a dog! But beyond a general love of pets, I'm lucky enough to have two dogs of my own who I've helped care for since age 9 (shoutout to Tiny and Pepper)! I've also pet sat for many friends and neighbors, and have two years of professional childcare experience (which is a lot more similar to pet care than you might think). Thus I can assure you that I have the skill, responsibility, and attention to detail that it takes to keep your pup both happy and safe while you're away. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pup! I'm available to do overnight pet/house-sitting for as long as you need, or even just casual pop-ins to give your dog a walk, potty break, food, and some love! I also have my own car and a valid drivers license, so I'm happy to drive your dog to the dog park, appointments, or anywhere else if that's something you want to make happen. Let me know what you need, and I'm optimistic that I can make it work. Of course, how I conduct myself in your home is entirely up to you. If you are looking for me to take on more of a house/pet-sitting combo, I am happy to keep things clean and stick around for long periods of time to keep your baby company. But if you're more of a "don't-touch-anything-except-the-front-door-handle-and-the-top-of-my-dog's-cute-little-head" person, I totally understand. Just let me know ahead of time what you expect out of my services, and that's what you will get.
“Mary Jane did a wonderful job taking care of our two Havanese pups. She was very good at communicating with us and keeping us updated during our trip. I really felt like she cared about our pups and was a great guest in our home. She even washed the sheets and towels and had the bed made before we got home. That was so nice of her! Anyway we will definitely hire Mary Jane again.”
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alamo Oaks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alamo Oaks on Rover is $76.59 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,502 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alamo Oaks. 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 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 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
