“This is the second time Sierra has pet sit for my two dogs. Like the first time, she did an excellent job! I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her knowing how much time she spends with them. I know they are getting all the love they need while I’m away! On top of taking excellent care of the dogs, Sierra left my home clean and organized like she wasn’t even there. I will definitely use Sierra in the future!”
“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”
“Shelli was so caring and attentive to my babies!! Her communication was on point, attention to detail and helpfulness was everything. They loved her, her home and the doggos she had! I would highly recommend her and would trust her with Simon & Dulce any time.”
“Danni was professional and i felt comfortable having her in my home. She cared for my puppy the way i asked and with attention to detail. Danni has great communication and left my house clean! Will definitely ask for her assistance in the future!”
“We were in town for work and really wanted to bring our 16 weeknold Cavapoo with us as we just adopted him. We reached out to Ashley before arriving in San Antonio to ensure she had availability. We read reviews of various sitters and decided on Ashley. Upon I still contact right up to picking up our fur son, we felt comfortable. She was very accommodating and had a wonderful vide from initial contact up to when we picked up our puppy. We definitely will use her again if we are in town again. If she lived by us, we would hire her a a lot!”
“Braydon was 12/10. I will absolutely be using him in the future if he is available. My dogs were very obviously well taken care of, and it relived a lot of my stress while being gone. Communication and updates were better than any other rover or sitter i’ve used before.”
“Our second time using Laurie and she was awesome again. We got an email about a possible water leak and she was able to investigate and check all the important areas for us. Very responsive! Thank you again for taking care of our pups and house!”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing - she was flexible with us and so loving with our dogs! It was our first time working with her and she’ll be our #1 go to sitter from now on. Thank you so much for giving us so much happiness and peace of mind during our travels - it means the world to us to have a caregiver like you!??❤️”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, I currently have one very spoiled dog. I’m very flexible with the times of my visits and walks. I do not discriminate breeds I love all dogs! I am currently a stay at home mom of two with a part time work from home job so that will give me more time to care for your fur baby. I will send you as many pictures and updates as you want. My husband and I were just stationed here in Texas and I’m looking for a side job to keep me busy since I am a stay at home mom of two little boys and a dog of my own. I was a Sous chef in Arizona before we got restationed. I look forward to meeting new pups! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to look after your animals. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and cats! I have a six foot privacy fence and plenty of yard for pups to run around in. I also have a lead if your pup is an escape artist
“Ashleigh was very accommodating with our schedule and took great care of our dogs! She kept me updated after every visit and even administered medication to one dog. I was very pleased and will definitely book Ashleigh again in the future.”
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
About: Hey y'all, my name is Sam. I'm a Navy Veteran of 9 years and have made a personal mission to serve my community as a Dog Walker. My love for dogs started at a young age, and progressed into having a home full of paws. My husband and I have 4 dogs and a cat of our own, and often bring pups in and attempt to find them homes too, I also run my own dog walking business called Tails on Texas Trails LLC. I am a versatile in puppies through seniors, small to large, and yes- I can handle your feline friend as well!! I look forward to meeting you and your fur- babies! I am a recent graduate of Palo Alto College, and currently working on my internship requirements at Arboretum San Antonio part time. My schedule is fairly free and open to serve your needs throughout the day! Watching pets in their home means it is their space and I am a guest. I care for dogs and give them the most love and respect while the parents are away.
“Denise was so kind to our dogs we have a special needs dog and she was wonderful with him she stayed the entire time and even took them on a hike and to the mall. Excellent care of our home and our pets!!! I would highly recommend!!! She even charmed our cat who hates everyone!!! We came home to a clean home and happy babies !!!”
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
“Brianna is such a gift! Normally, our 80 lb doberman goes with us everywhere. The one time we had left her home previously, she had severe separation anxiety. This time, our baby was happy to see us but, also, looking around for Brianna?. She was obviously loved the whole time we were gone. Brianna was extremely accommodating and communicative. She even put away our deliveries for us! We will definitely be asking her back and recommending her to friends and family!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
“We went on an extended trip and had Robby watch our little fur family for the second time! He did an excellent job (again!). He provided daily updates and pictures. And he genuinely enjoys spending time with our two cats and golden retriever! It is so amazing to have someone we can trust completely with our babies. We highly, highly recommend him!”
“Andres (Andrew) was absolutely outstanding! He was so great with our Bulldog, Rex. He went above and beyond each day, sending us lots of pictures and videos of Rex eating, playing, and resting. 😊 When we returned, Rex was happy and our home was tidy! We are very happy with Andrew and the wonderful care he provided for Rex. 100% recommend him!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Calaveras
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Calaveras on Rover is $24.42 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,135 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Calaveras. 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 Calaveras 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 Calaveras 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 Calaveras 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Calaveras. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
