“Elizabeth was a pleasure to having as our sitter. Our senior dog needs daily medication, and our youngster is needy and full of energy. We appreciate the time she took with each pup, and I loved the thorough updates. Choose Elizabeth for your pet needs!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, with a dad who’s a farmer and a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) companions. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and while life took me down a different path, my love and passion for animals never changed. These days, I enjoy walking and carrying for dogs. There's something special about just being present with them. I’m also a proud mom to two animal-loving girls (ages 8 and 10), and together we dream of having a house full of animals... if only we had the space! I am self employed so I can set my own hours. I love to be outside. I walk my own dog everyday. Happy to take animals on walks, play with my own dog or even go on a hike. I live on ½ an acre with lots of grass and a fenced in backyard. We live right near the Iron Horse Trail so walks are encouraged. =)
About: I work from home, which means your pet gets something most sitters can't offer: a human who's actually there all day. I do house sitting in your home and drop-in visits across Walnut Creek and nearby areas. I grew up with dogs and cats, have helped friends and family with everything from puppies to senior dogs, and recently welcomed a cat into my own home. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving medication exactly as you instruct — including pets with special routines or medical needs. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's habits and preferences so the routine doesn't skip a beat. While you're away, you'll get regular photo updates so you can see they're relaxed and happy. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits around your pet's routine — not the other way around. For house sitting, I'm there through the day and overnight; for drop-ins, we'll lock in visit times before booking so feeding and walks stay consistent. Your home and your pet's routine stay exactly as you left them. Before we start, we'll do a meet-and-greet to cover temperament, medications, feeding, quirks, and emergency contacts. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I'll send photo updates and messages so you're never wondering how they're doing.
“Fei is amazing, she allowed me to enjoy a long weekend without having to worry about anything. She is a Pro - very consistent, communicative and observant. She went above and beyond my expectations. She won over my very shy and timid cat in a short period of time. I could tell my cat felt loved and cared for while I was away. I will definitely contact Fei again for future getaways and I highly recommend her.”
About: I have experience in dog sitting, walking and cat sitting for about 5 years. Since my Freshman year of high school, I have cared for many pets around my hometown of Danville, CA. Some pets included indoor cats, outdoor cats, and dogs up to 80lbs. I love making each visit specific to each pet's needs to give them the most caring and enjoyable experience! Given this experience, I feel confident that I can efficiently care for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I am currently attending Loyola Marymount University and studying Finance and Business Law. This semester, my availability consistently leaves Tuesday and Thursday evenings open, as well as Friday and Sunday mornings and days. I am also very flexible in scheduling times, so please feel free to reach out! Your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and care while with me. I’ll make sure they’re happy and comfortable and stick to their routine, whether it’s meals, walks, or playtime. I also understand that pets have their specific needs and routines, which I am very adaptable to learning and prioritizing. I also love updating the owners with pictures and messages!

About: I have years of experience with cats with owning 3 growing up. I am a vet assistant who LOVES pets 😇 I am very attentive to pet care, and will always make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I am a full time student at Las Positas (last semester 😃) who goes to class Monday and Wednesday. I work Thursday- Sunday locally in Danville, and since Tuesday is my only day off I spend it at the East Bay SPCA. I truly love pets and will always find a way to include them in my daily life. My schedule can seem intimidating, but this busy crazy schedule somehow finds me with so much 😇 When I visit a pet in someone’s home I make sure the pet knows this is their space and I am just a friend there to provide love and food. While being at your home I leave no trace of me even being there! Seriously I will leave your house clean, and respect as my own. Your pet is my priority and I’ll make sure to keep you updated throughout our time together.
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”
About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.
About: I have been taking care of friends, family and neighbors animals for many years. I grew up with a cat and all my friends have dogs. I am a lover of all animals and ready to care for yours while you are away! I work full time at a church in Danville. My work schedule is flexible so I can accommodate midday check ins or walks. I am available most days as well. I will not be able to care for your pets at my apartment. I am a respectful young adult, born and raised in this beautiful area. I keep my place clean and will do the same at yours.
“I cannot say enough good things about Ella! She is the absolute best! She’s super communicative, caring, and reliable. I had complete peace of mind leaving my girl with her while we were on a 5 day trip. You could tell she genuinely loves dogs and wants to help care for your pet. My dog could tell too, as she absolutely loves her! My dogter and I can’t wait to book Ella again! 💗”
About: My family has always had multiple pets since I was born. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 9. My family who I live with currently has a year old Labradoodle puppy and a 3 year old Labrador but I do not have any pets of my own at the moment so I can give your pets my full love and attention. Friends and family have asked me to petsit at their houses since I was in high school because they knew how much I loved animals. I have experience walking, feeding, and bathing both cats and dogs. I have trained puppies and dogs basic commands, potty training, tricks and crate training. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats and can administer medicine both orally and through the ear. I also have experience handling pets of various temperaments such as anxious or energetic pets. As a dog and cat lover, I have done my research on how to best care for them so I have confidence in my skills and experience. I have a flexible, day job that allows me to easily manage a routine for your pets depending on their needs and care specifics. I am used to balancing multiple things at once such as school, a job, and owning a dog.
About: I always loved animals so much since I was little I wanted to become a vet until I found out how much science was involved...ha! My friends and family knew how much I loved animals that they would always go to me first to take care of their pets before bringing their furry family members to an animal daycare. I've watched over cats, birds, dogs (small and large breeds) and even helped a young Doberman mama take care of her beautiful 7 pup litter for 4 weeks until they were adopted at 6 weeks old. I also have a special love for horses, so I have taken care of horses but light work such as cleaning, riding, and restocking the hay. I work from home so I'm very flexible in terms of caring for animals. So during the day I can take them out for walks, cleaning, feeding, etc. I don't have any animals myself (yet) so if your fur baby is shy or uncomfortable around other animals, you don't have to worry about that with me. I also have a fenced yard with enough space for your animal to roam around...although I prefer to go to the pet owner's house as the animal will feel more comfortable in their own environment and also because my mom tends to have animal allergies, so for her comfort, I rather go to the owner's house.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from little puppies and kittens to older pals who need extra care. My own elderly cat and dogs have needed ear drops, oral medicine, and insulin injections. I don’t just fill the bowls and leave. I stay for real visits with play, treats, cuddles, or quiet time, whatever helps your pet feel at home. Every animal is different. Some want lots of affection and some need space. That’s fine with me. Even the ones who like distance still get attention in a way that feels right for them. I’m happy to care for birds, fish, bugs, or other small pets too, as long as you show me what to do. I can also water plants, bring in the mail, and help with other little house things. Your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away, and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands! I work remotely from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate visits throughout the day. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, with the only exceptions being occasional scheduled work meetings. I know my meeting schedule in advance, so we can coordinate visit times ahead of booking to make sure I’m available when your pets need me! I treat every client's home with the same care and respect that I would want someone to show my own home. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, following your instructions and routines, and making sure your pets are comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your time away as worry free as possible, knowing both your pets and your home are in good hands.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicholas and Sarah are absolutely incredible! From the moment we met them, we knew our sunshine bear was in the best hands. They were punctual, responsible, and went above and beyond to love on our pup all week long. We especially appreciated the regular updates and sweet photos that kept us at ease while we were away. Could not recommend them enough — truly the kind of sitters every pet parent hopes to find!”
“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”

Lara did an amazing job with our drop-in visits! One of our cats was feeling sad and would hide when she came to visit, but Lara went the extra step to coax him out and make sure he was eating. She communicated beautifully, sent great updates, and was easy to work with. Highly recommend for drop-in care!
Kimberly took the best care of my 2 pups while I was away. But more than that, Kimberly took the best care of this nervous doe mom’s heart ❤️ She was so kind; attentive; took lots of pictures and videos that shows how much she cares for both the dogs and the human! I cannot say enough wonderful things!
Booked a super last minute drop in visit for our dogs with Trevor and he was as excellent as when he did in-house dog sitting for us for a few days, communicative, attentive to the dogs and professional! Were very lucky to have found a reliable pet sitter our pups clearly adore!
Bar is amazing at taking care of our 17 week old golden retriever puppy, playing with him and teaching him good behavior. She is very patient and caring. Our puppy loves spending time with her. She is also very responsive on Rover and very courteous. We are so glad she is able to take care of our puppy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alamo Oaks is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $34 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 13,866 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alamo Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alamo Oaks. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
