“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of Rooney while I was out of town. She followed all instructions, kept me updated with frequent photos daily, and showed genuine care for both Rooney and my home. She was very attentive to Rooney's needs and treated him like her own, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
“I am so glad I found Halona to house and dog sit my pups. This was the first vacation I've ever taken where I didn't have to stress about if my dogs were okay, or my plants in my yards were dying, etc. Halona came by to meet my pups for the first time, we talked for awhile to get to know eachother. Then before my trip she came over and we walked the dogs around the area to get her familiar with whereabouts I walk them. The dogs were enjoying her company. Once I left to my trip, from the first day to the last she sent me multiple photos of them letting me know they are happy and doing well. My female has a lot of medication she takes on top of a special food diet, Halona never asked any questions she was right on it with the meds and food which was a big plus. When I came home she left a sweet note with flowers as a welcome home gift and the house was as clean as I had it for her when I'd left. Can't thank her enough for helping me enjoy my vacation, I know K.O and Nahla will miss her, until next time. Thank you thank you thank you Halona.”
“Absolutely recommend Brooke! She was very communicative while staying at our house, and all of our pets made an appearance which is pretty rare, so honestly that's the best review I can give :).”
“Alexa is AMAZING! She recently watched our two dogs while we were away. Our senior dog, Scout, has several medical conditions and Alexa had the knowledge and background to handle all of his needs. She provided excellent loving care and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. It is clear that Alexa has a gift with animals. Our normally shy rescue puppy, Olive, gravitated to her immediately. Alexa made sure she got plenty of exercise and they became fast friends! We were able enjoy our time away knowing they were both in the best of hands. I highly recommend Alexa for anyone needing pet care. You won’t find a more compassionate and knowledgeable caregiver. We will definitely use Alexa again!”

“Carolina is great. She was super caring of Smokey which was and always so much appreciated. Carolina is very sweet, easy going and attentive of the details of managing my high maintenance senior finicky dog.”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing with Watson! ❤️ He’s recovering from a back injury, so I was nervous about leaving him, but he instantly loved her and felt completely at ease. Carrie is so warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, and she was always timely and reliable. She gave Watson so much love and TLC, followed all of his care instructions, and kept me updated throughout her stay, including the behaviors and medication side effects I was tracking. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Watson was in such caring, attentive hands. I’m so grateful and would absolutely have her care for Watson again!”
About: Hi guys! My name is César, and I offer dog walking, sitting, and overnight care around the East Bay and surrounding Bay Area. I currently take care of a few dogs and have experience with dogs of all different personalities and energy levels. I’m generally available most afternoons for walks, and I can also house sit if you prefer having your dog stay in their own home. If your dog stays with me, I have a secure, dog friendly home with a backyard where they can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I’ve also been a dog owner for most of my life. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, but I absolutely love being around them, which is a big part of why I enjoy doing this. I’m fully cleared through a background check, and I’m happy to provide anything else that would help you feel comfortable trusting me with your dog. If you’re looking for someone reliable to walk, watch, or stay with your dog, feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you! 🐶 I’m available most days with advance notice, just let me know what dates you’re looking for. I work Tuesday through Saturday, so I take care of dogs before and after my shifts, and I’m off Sundays and Mondays. I’m pretty flexible overall, aside from occasional travel. For me, making a dog feel comfortable starts with patience. I know every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and way of building trust, so I never try to force an interaction. I give them time to get comfortable with me and pay attention to their body language and what they’re communicating. I keep things calm, positive, and consistent, whether we’re going for a walk, hanging out at home, or they’re staying with me. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I want them to feel like they’re spending time with someone they know and trust, not just someone who’s watching them.

“We were very nervous to leave our pup for a week. Since Covid, we haven’t been apart from him very much. Jessica was reassuring from the beginning. She took such good care of our sweet pup! We got daily updates, photos and Jessica was quick to reply anytime we texted. We could tell that Gus was comfortable and loved having Jessica with him. We have already rebooked for another week in July! We highly recommend Jessica for your pet sitting needs!”
“Our boys are not the easiest to manage. We've got three Great Danes, about 450lb of dogs. Candi handled them, and our home, for a week with ease. The dogs loved her, and we got daily pictures of them lounging on her. We feed raw, which was also not a problem for Candi. Neither was the troublesome neighbor who complained about our old guy barking in the wee hours. Candi politely handled the knock on the door at 5:40am with the angry neighbor, and dealt with the situation. Candi is our new favorite house/dog sitter, and we've already booked her again for another upcoming trip.”
“Ashley is a great cat sitter! We've booked with Ashley for a few trips now and each time our cats have been fed, played with, and loved. I'd highly recommend booking with Ashley because she is professional, friendly, and knows how to love on our animals.”
“Paulo was excellent with my dogs. Very friendly guy and very punctual. Sent tons of videos/photos of him doting on my two dogs. Will definitely be using him again when I go or of town.”
“Mia was wonderful with Freddie! As new puppy parents, we really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel leaving him in her care. She watched him for two back-to-back days, communicated clearly throughout, and was respectful of our home and schedule. We’d happily book her again — thank you, Mia!”
“First time using Mike and first time I left my dog Winnie with a stranger and Mike was TERRIFIC! I highly recommend him.

Mia watched our pup for 2.5 weeks. Our pup has a back condition so I was nervous to leave him, but she was great with him and following our instructions. I also got to meet her boyfriend and sister before we went on our trip and felt very comfortable with everyone. It was nice that she got to come a few days before we left so we could go over all the instructions. She was also flexible on her departure time when we thought we were going to miss our flight and come home late. Our house was clean and in great condition when we got home. Thanks Mia! We'd definitely recommend.
Trinity is the best! She takes her job seriously, and Milo adored her! He’s normally hi anxiety when we are gone, yet he seemed quite calm and happy. Trinity took lots of photos and some videos too!….kept us up to date! Will def use her again! Thanks Trinity! Milo says “any time!” Diane and Jocelyn
Aida stayed at our home and cared for our dog and cat for 10 days while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and proactive throughout our trip. She sent updates and photos every day. When we returned home, everything was spotless, and it was clear that Aida had taken excellent care of both our pets and our home. In fact, our pets weren’t quite as excited to see us as they usually are when we get back from a trip. We take that as a great sign that they had been happy and receiving plenty of attention while we were away! We’d recommend Aida to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again for future trips.
Marcia came through for me on very short notice and I’m so glad I found her! She was very communicative, always sending photos of my pups and keeping me updated on their days! Marcia was also super helpful with other things around my house like checking the mail and feeding my fish. She spent so much time with them that I could see in the photos how their comfort levels grew each day! Would definitely book again!
Jessica is a wonderful pet sitter. I was very worried about leaving my old cats for a couple of days and Jessica was so kind and responsible that it eased my worries. She was able to give my cat three liquid medications and help him eat. The cats seemed happy and well cared for when we returned home. In addition, she was flexible with schedule changes and very responsive over text. I could not recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 7,308 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avon. 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 Avon 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 Avon 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 Avon 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.
