“Mark was absolutely wonderful! He took such great care of our dog and made sure he got lots of walks and attention while we were away. I really appreciated all the updates he sent, which made it so much easier to relax knowing our pup was happy and well looked after. He also left the house tidy, which i really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Mark and would happily have him look after our dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Amber is a genuine Sweetheart. I knew the moment I met her in person, before confirming the book, that she was a walking heart. She took care of my babies and I came to a home cleaner than how I left it! She sent in pics and reported daily and I felt truly at ease that my pets were in good hands. I kinda don’t want to praise her too much for fear that she’ll be taken when I need her! lol😊 Amber, thank you so much for your love and support while I was away. It helped me enjoy my sons wedding without stressing about my other babies.”
“Kaila is took amazing care of our pets and our home! Kaila was attentive to our animals’ needs, gave lots of updates and pictures, and was very communicative during her stay. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our house sitter! They took great care of our dog and two cats, making sure all of our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. They were responsible, reliable, and respectful of our home, which gave us peace of mind during our time away. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house sitter!”
“Byrnnye was an excellent dog sitter and left our home immaculately clean, we appreciated her very much. She was very responsive in getting back to us with texts that kept us informed of our dog's wellbeing.”

“Kenya was fantastic with my high energy, admittedly needy dogs. Very professional and a great communicator! I feel very comfortable with Kenya and have already signed up to have her help us out again!”
About: Raised on a ranch caring for a multitude of animals, including dog. I have lifelong experience handling dogs and training puppies. As a passionate dog lover, I enjoy combining this hands-on background with taking pups on active outdoor adventures. Daily pet care naturally fits into my routine with walks or hikes with my own dog. It perfectly complements my active lifestyle and is something I look forward to every day. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet's needs, maintaining their routines at home or mine, ensuring comfort, security, and frequent updates for owners.
“Found Bella on a last minute panic and had to cheat on our regular sitter. And she was more than I could have ever expected and honestly better!!!!She really made our nervous kid feel comfortable, spent so much time with her and went above and beyond. Diff recommend and I will rebook with her”
“I measure the trustworthiness of a dog sitter by how fast Maggie warms to them. Katelyn proved to be perfect for us. Maggie approached her in the first meeting and that almost never happens. If you are unsure about bringing in a new dog sitter, try Katelyn, you will be very happy with the result.”
“London is responsive, responsible, and so sweet with our boys! She sent pics without having to ask, and our dogs love her. She arrived on time and went out of her way to help out by moving my car for me, which she totally didn’t have to do. It was so nice being able to actually relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about what was happening at my house, and we will definitely be reaching out to London when we go out of town again!”
About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.
About: We (Jerry and Joy) have been known for taking care of our friends’ dogs as if they are our own. From few hours to 5 weeks, dogs of different sizes have been under our care which had led to many of our friends recommending us to start Rover. Jerry is a runner and recreational tennis player, he feels confident providing the best physical care for the puppies — going out on runs and doing indoor tugging activities. Joy likes staying at home more, and she will always be looking out to see if the puppies are comfortable and pouring them with love. Also, be prepared to get showered with tons of pics and stories of how your puppies spent their time during their stay, we will send you as many as we can take! Our dog-friendly place in a very cozy community in Livermore will be a safe, quiet heaven for your puppies — with a spacious park nearby, including a fenced dog park, where puppies can enjoy running while on/off leash (I prefer not doing off-leash when outside unless it's fenced yard or dog park). As a dedicated dog lover with a full-time job (weekdays, 6 am to 4 PM but can come home for lunch around 11 am), I’ve structured my schedule to ensure your furry friend gets the best care possible. Also, Joy would spend her most of time at home with your puppy. Here’s what you can expect: - Reliable Availability: We plan potty breaks at least three times a day—typically around 7-8 AM, 12 PM-2 PM, and 10-11 PM—so your pup’s needs are always met. - Plenty of Companionship: Your dog will have company for most of the day, with alone time never exceeding 8 hours. - Daily Exercise: We take multiple short walks every day, giving your pup fresh air and a chance to stretch their legs. - Flexible Coordination: We are happy to work with you to ensure your dog’s care schedule fits seamlessly with mine. - Personalized Attention: Every pup in our care receives love, attention, and care tailored to their specific needs. Rest assured, your four-legged family member will be in loving and responsible hands while you’re away! We live in a dog-friendly condo in a safe and welcoming residential area of Livermore. Our home is located right next to a fully fenced dog park, where your pup can safely sniff, run around, and socialize with other friendly dogs. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation during their stay. For added peace of mind, we have a reliable car and am prepared to transport your pet to the nearest veterinary urgent care if needed. Our 3-story code is clean, secure, and designed with pets in mind, offering a comfortable environment where your furry friend will feel right at home. Whether it’s playtime at the park or cozy downtime indoors, your dog will be cared for in a safe, enriching environment that prioritizes their happiness and well-being.
About: Hello, I’ve had 2 dogs of my own and have pet sit for my family pets while away. I love meeting dogs and their owners As of now I have open availability now that the weather is cooling down a bit. Feel free to message me for any fog walkibgs near by or house sitting I will more than pleased to follow the owners requirements and keep the area clean and have the pet(s) well taken care of by giving treats per owners approval.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and pets alike. I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I have taken care of my friends’ and families’ pets as well. I love playing with pets as well. I do have a dog myself and other experiences with other pets as well. I’m also a college student so I’m able to take care of your pets during holidays and vacation times as well. During the week I’m never busy and I’m usually always home so there’s no need to worry about me leaving your pets alone. I am a college student so I’m usually here for vacation times and holidays. Right now the best way to care for your pets is to be able to care for them at your home because my yard and courtyard is under construction until after the 4th of July but usually my yard is fenced around and also have a good size courtyard for your pet to hang around. I also have a dog that’s very pet friendly so when I can take care of your pet they won’t be alone. If I take care of your pet at your house, I would be able to bathe them, walk them, feed them, and sleep with them if needed. If it’s at my house then I would be able to do everything except for bathing them.
“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”
“Best rover we’ve ever had! Extremely communicative, sends multiple photos and updates daily. Has no problem playing with our high energy dog multiple times a day or snuggling with our anxious cat. We recommend him without reservation.”
“Kristi was the perfect sitter while my wife and I were away for the weekend. She was available on short notice and provided us with plenty of updates and photos of our dogs who were clearly happy to be spending time with her. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dogs with Kristi and will definitely do so again in the future. Thank you so much Kristi!!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Altamont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,414 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altamont. 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 Altamont 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 Altamont 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 Altamont 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Altamont. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
