Brooke is very attentive and reliable. When I got home, my place was cleaner than it was when I left and most importantly, my girls looked happy and healthy. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“We just returned home from a 5 day trip, and we fully expected to return to chaos. Not because of anything Sonya did, but because our little trio can get very anxious when we aren’t home. It was like an exorcism had been performed (my boyfriend’s words lol )—they didn’t even bark at our arrival. Sonya was fantastic—kept us in the loop, without inundating us. Sent pictures, was thoughtful and thorough. She picked up after herself and provided an excellent level of care to our pups. Absolutely would and will hire her 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.

She took him for walks more frequently than we even asked for and spent so much time with our dog that we were able to relax a little while we were away, without feeling worried. Amila is wonderful and we will rebook for sure. Thanks Amila!!!”

About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.

About: I strive to provide a welcoming, enriching home away from home for your dog. To ensure the best care possible, I only accept up to 2 dogs at a time. You can expect regular updates throughout your pup’s stay. Safety is a top priority. I check my yard regularly for potential hazards and do paw checks for foxtails after every walk. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for zoomies. Dogs can explore the garden, sunbathe on the grass, or lounge under the shaded pergola. Pets are welcome on the couch, and I also have extra dog beds and an indoor dog house for pups who prefer a little more personal space. My experience: I have a 6yo maltipoo named Chewy and 14yo shihtzu named Joey. They are very respectful of other dogs’ personal space. I trained Chewy using positive reinforcement and taught him many tricks and commands. I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 15. My senior dog experience includes fostering one who was adopted into her forever home and providing long-term care for two others. I’m very comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and grooming. Rover is a side hobby, and I ask for a little advance notice so I can prepare for my doggie guest. I follow the schedule provided by the paw-parents. If none is given then it’s usually a morning potty break, breakfast, walk, mid day potty break, dinner, and potty before bedtime. Playtime is sprinkled throughout the day or I may incorporate it with their meal time like food in a puzzle toy. I tailor care to each dog’s needs. Every day includes physical exercise or mental stimulation such as daily walks, fetch, tug-of-war, command training, puzzle toys. Let me know how your preferences during the Meet & Greet so I can match your dog’s routine.

“Our dog and cat both loved Aleksandra so much! You could tell they felt very comfortable with her, and when she came to return our key after our trip, they both ran to the door and were so excited to see her. It really showed how much they enjoyed having her care for them while we were away. Aleksandra kept us updated every day with photos and messages, took care of cleaning up when our dog had some accidents while we were away, and left the house clean and tidy for us when we returned. She also helped us out with an extra visit when our flights home were significantly delayed so our pets didn’t have to wait for us to get home to be fed and let out. We really appreciated how sweet and caring she was with both of them and are very thankful for all of her help while we were away!”

“A very last minute request to find a sitter for our little girl. Emily was very responsive to our needs, came over quickly to do a meet annd greet with Bailey Rose annd we decided to move forward. The next day, Emily arrives on time and she annd Bailey Rose hit it off. Bailey Rose enjoyed the time with her and their outings! Emily kept us up to date with the days events she has planned, sent pictures through the day and whenever we wanted an update, Emily was quick to respond and give us all the details. We never worried about Bailey Rose or our home as we knew it was left in good hands. Emily left the house in better condition than she started. Would definitely hire her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Aileen, I am 23 years old. I have always loved animals since I was a kid. I’ve always been a huge dog person but I love cats as well. I give animals so much care, comfort, and love like they deserve. I treat my dogs the same and I love them to pieces. I have a small Maltese named Bonbon and a yorkie mix named Lilo! My uncles have traveled a lot over the years and they have 5-6 dogs that I would come feed and check on them daily. I am very trustworthy and I will make sure your dogs get the care they need. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will love your dog like they’re my own. I am currently attending Diablo Valley College but only for the summer. I do have a set schedule for my homework and pet care. I am currently a part time caregiver for children on the spectrum. I work with my client Wednesdays and during the weekend. The rest of the week is for me to dogsit/dog walk. I have lots of experience dog sitting and I will make sure to put your pet as my priority when they are in my care.

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life as I have a strong passion for them. I have taken care of cats and dogs since the day they were born. We have fostered many neonatals and raised them until we greatly send them off to their forever home. We have many years of experience how to take care and make a fun, loving, and playful experience. Our pets help us very much with making other pets feel very much at home. Since we’ve been fostering for a very long time, we love to open our doors to any pets while we are not fostering. I am currently a stay at home mom who fosters animals when they are in need of fostering. As well as taking care of my child. I have a wall in my backyard to secure the animals as I have keep a watch on them. I’ve also had experience with very sick animals and also have first aid and fluids (IV) for them just in case anyone is not feeling well.

We had a wonderful experience with Esther as our dog sitter. She stayed at our home for four nights while we were away, and she was communicative, responsible and incredibly conscientious. Our dog loved her from the first meeting, and my first impression was that she's the kind of person that puts you immediately at ease, which gave us great peace of mind while traveling. She kept us updated regularly and took excellent care of our dog and our home. She also handled some of our dog's quirky behavior with patience. At one point he stopped in the middle of a walk and completely refused to go any farther. Esther reached out for advice, tried multiple approaches and ultimately had a friend come pick them up so that her and our stubborn dog could get home. I really appreciated her flexibility good humor in the situation. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter.

Leaving our sweet pup, Winnie, is always hard, but finding someone you truly trust to care for them (and your home!) is such a gift. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Serafina! She took the time to meet Winnie ahead of our trip and genuinely cared about getting to know her routine and what would make her (and us!) feel most comfortable. Throughout the weekend, she sent us the most thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us an immense peace of mind knowing Winnie was in such wonderful hands. We feel so lucky to have found Serafina and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!!

Jimena did a great job with my sweet but neurotic cats (and their neurotic owner)! I was nervous about going out of town because the cats had recently been demonstrating some changes in appetite. Jimena sent lots of pictures, which helped ease my mind, and she was vigilant in reporting back to me about the cats’ meals and bathroom habits. My shy kitty also seemed to warm up to Jimena quicker than she usually does with new people!

FAQs for House Sitting - Concord

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Concord on Rover is $86 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $125 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 7,699 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Concord. 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 Concord 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 Concord 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 Concord 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.

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.
