“Monica is amazing! She took such good care of our pups; specialized walks depending on energy levels, park play, spent time giving attention and love to them while being on top of all medicines or ointments. My dogs absolutely adore her and I will definitely book again and again with her! 🐶🩷🐶🩷”
“Mary did a great job watching my pup while I was away for six days. She gave him lots of attention and short walks (he’s a frenchie so can’t walk too far in the summer). She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out, so my mind was at ease while being far away. My place also immaculate upon my return. Overall, I was very pleased and would definitely book Mary again.”
“We have had the pleasure of having Betsy as our pet and house sitter twice now, and she has truly exceeded our expectations both times. The first occasion was in July 2024, when we went on a nearly three-week trip and needed someone to take care of our two cats, Ringo and Paul. Betsy did an outstanding job, and we didn't hesitate to book her again for the first week of January 2025. Betsy is incredibly trustworthy and reliable. She kept us updated with pictures and messages about our cats, which brought us great peace of mind. Ringo and Paul absolutely adore her and follow her around the house. In fact, she gives them more attention than we probably do! 🐾 Not only does Betsy take excellent care of our pets, but she also leaves our home even cleaner than when she arrived. She handles small tasks with ease and is delightfully agreeable. Communication with Betsy is a breeze; she's friendly and always keeps us informed. We couldn't ask for a better pet and house sitter. If you are looking for someone who is caring, responsible, and communicative, look no further than Betsy. We highly recommend her services!”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our dogs, cats, and rats! She was very responsive, attentive, and communicated well with us while we were away. We appreciated the way she tracked their schedule and went above and beyond cleaning up after them in our yard. It definitely made our time away more relaxing.”
“Aida did an excellent job staying with Frankie at my home!! She is a great communicator, and I could tell Frankie was very comfortable with her. I will absolutely be asking her for help again in the future!! I am so glad that I found you Aida!”
“Laura was fantastic. She cared for our dog like her own and made sure to give us great daily updates while we were out of the country. She even cleaned the house, which was amazing to come home to after a long trip. We will definitely be rebooking with Laura in the future. She created a great friendship with our dog and we are so thankful!”
“Mary Jane spent the night with Bodie while I was away for work meetings. She was great, and Bodie was well taken care of. I really appreciated that she checked on him in the afternoon, since I was a delayed returning.”
“Hailey took good care of our Rhodesian Ridgeback Damson who can be a lap full, just ask Hailey! She picked after Samson in yard and left house neat and clean. Thank you Hailey, good job!”
About: Hey! I'm Nazareth. I'm 22, a part-time community college student, and I also work full time as the manager of a dog daycare and boarding facility in San Ramon. I started working professionally with dogs when I was 17, and over the years I've gotten comfortable with just about every personality. High-energy dogs that love to jump? No problem. Seniors who need medication? Happy to help. Nervous, anxious, or reactive dogs? I'm comfortable working at their pace and earning their trust. I currently work full-time, so my availability varies depending on the day. Workdays (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday): Available before 9:30 AM Unavailable 9:30 AM–1:00 PM Available 1:00 PM–2:00 PM Unavailable 2:00 PM–7:30 PM Available after 7:30 PM Days Off (Wednesday & Saturday): I'm generally available throughout the day and have much more flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended visits. If your requested time falls outside my listed availability, don't hesitate to reach out anyway. My schedule can occasionally be adjusted, and I'll always do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every booking. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their owners are away. While caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep food and water fresh, clean up after your pets, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet enjoys. You'll also receive regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and well cared for. I'm experienced in recognizing animal body language and responding calmly to different personalities and situations. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I'll provide patient, reliable care tailored to their needs.
“We had a wonderful experience with Tina, who cared for our dog Berkeley for two weeks while we were on vacation. From the start, she took the time to meet with me for a meet-and-greet, which really helped ensure it was a good fit for everyone—especially considering the specific needs of our elderly dog. While we were away, Tina communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending photos and videos that gave us great peace of mind. It meant so much to see that Berkeley was comfortable, happy, and well cared for in our absence. Tina stayed in our home during that time, and we returned to everything just as we had left it—clean, organized, and clearly well respected. It was such a relief to come home to a happy dog and a well-kept house. I would absolutely trust Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Annie did an amazing job housesitting our two dogs while we were out of state visitng family and friends. She sent many updates and photos, was incredibly prompt and courteous, and gave us the gift of peace of mind while away from our pups - which is something that's hard for me! We will certainly be booking Annie again and I encourage others to consider Annie when looking for execllent pet care.”
“Julia is absolutely wonderful. My pups were well taken care of, and I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated! She went above and beyond and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. Highly recommended her services!”
About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my Kids' Country job around 10am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 6:30pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.
About: I have experience caring for dogs including my own senior Shih Tzu for 14 years. I currently offer daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight boarding, and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and calm presence they need while their owners are away. I also make sure pets stay on their usual schedule as much as possible so they feel safe and settled. Whether it’s a quick visit during the day, a walk to get energy out, or staying overnight, I focus on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. About my schedule: Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am available full-time. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, consistent and attentive care while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. We have a large fenced balcony at first floor. Also a big area in our community with natural grass perfect for play and potty breaks.
“Amanda did a great job caring for my two old ladies and taking care of my home. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept in touch while I was away, kept my plants alive, left my house clean, and my girls were happy!”
“Isaiah watched over our home and our dogs for 10 days. He was the best pet sitter we've ever had, and we've had a lot over the years! He took wonderful care of the dogs, giving them lots of exercise as well as comfort and love. We would use him over and over if we could, but we will be moving out of state. :( Too bad we can't take him with us. We highly recommend Isaiah for house sitting, pet sitting, dog walking, all of the above! Super dependable, trustworthy, and communicative. We didn't have to worry about a thing.”
“We went outof town for the day and Lara watched our dog while we were away. While our dog is older, doesn't want to go outside much, and is afraid of people he does not know well, Lara was able to take him on several walks during the and kept us updated while we were out by sending us pictures of our dog throughout the day. Lara understands dogs well, and we felt confident having Lara care for our dog during the day. I would definitely recommend Lara to other friends who need dog care.”

Trevor took great care of our puppy! He was communicative throughout the visit, checking in when he arrived and again before he left. He also sent us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so happy with the care he provided and truly appreciate how well he looked after our little fur baby. We would definitely book with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Danville on Rover is $78.26 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 9,556 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Danville. 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 Danville 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 Danville 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 Danville 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.
