“Jenny is a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of my dog, Akira. Akira is usually shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but she was immediately comfortable with Jenny. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Susie is wonderful. Communicative, thorough, and thoughtful. Cared for our apartment as well as our pets. Cat got her twice daily oral medication and dog got pets and walks. Will book again if I can. Thanks Susie!”
“Lexa watched our dog, Edgar, for a weekend while we were away. She was so attentive and sent photos and updates each day. We could tell Edgar was very happy and comfortable!”
“Krystal was great. She was right on time for the overnight sitting we easily arranged with her. She was able to follow the complex schedule for our two large, "high need" dogs (walks, meds, meals and treats, all on a schedule). Good comunication, trustworthy and good with dogs. What more can one ask?”
About: I’ve always had my own pets including dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs and fish. I’m experienced with house sitting and dog walking for dogs through out my teen and college years. I took a break post college while working at a shelter for women and children and then attorney represented bodily injury claims. I recently resigned my corporate insurance job and have been pursuing my stained glass small business and my passion for animals. I've been volunteering at the shelter as dog walker and started riding horses again. I'm available currently every day of the week and weekends. I live very close to the Fremont Hub. I can feed, walk, brush, love, and provide any special cares for your fur babies! I don’t mind just hanging out with your pet while you’re away for work or vacation. I'm currently self-employed as an artist and am available any day of the week and weekends and can be available as well on shore notice! I have a fenced in patio and catio for our 4 cats. They are primarily indoors and go outside supervised. In your own home, I will ensure your pet remains safe and indoors. If you have an indoor pet only, they will remain inside at all times. I will treat your pet as if they're my own pet with love and above and beyond care to ensure they feel safe and trust me.
“Thank you to Alex for taking care of my boy! It was so nice to be able to go away for a few days and know he was well cared for. I know he can be a handful. Please get some rest you deserve it.”
About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a true dog lover who understands the patience, care, and consistency it takes to make pups feel happy and secure. I’ve raised my own puppy from the start, learning firsthand how to train basic obedience commands and encourage good habits through positive reinforcement. I love spending time with dogs — whether it’s playing fetch, going for long walks, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I treat every dog I care for like my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well-exercised. You can count on me to be friendly, reliable, and trustworthy while helping your dog stay active, happy, and well-behaved! I am currently working with my company WFH and have flexibility of making my own hours. Weekends Tuesday, Thursday and Friday work best. But if I have 1 weeks notices whole week can work just need prior notice. Pets are welcome to be at our place. I have a 1 year old puppy at my place if not I am available to be at clients place. I live in 2 bed room apartment fenced long back patio. My dog is well behaved and house trained and loves dog company. I live very close to the beach 3 minutes walk and large grass areas around for pet to be relived. I have a large crate at home just in case clients need and dont need to get their own. I will be able to dog on regular potty breaks. Walk your dog separately so they can get all the attention they deserve while dog walks.
“Tim was excellent with our two dogs. He was really conscientious, communicative and put a lot of care into our dogs’ well being while we were gone for close to two weeks. All around great experience and would happily have Tim over again!”
“Alexandra was a huge help with a last minute booking. She took great care of our dog, and I know he had a blast. She provided tons of activity and kept us informed the whole time. Can’t wait to book again.”
About: I have taken care of cats for the past nine years, and have two cats in total in my household. I have also taken care of dogs before when I was a child, and have taken care of my friend's dog while they are on vacation too. I'm available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 am to 3 pm and from 7 pm to 9 pm, and weekends at all times. And if it’s during a holiday, then any day any time. For clients who prefer pet-sitting in their own homes, I will make sure to maintain a clean and organized space, with a focus on keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'm diligent about following any special instructions you provide, such as medication or feeding schedules. No matter where I care for your pet, I take pride in creating a trustworthy and reliable relationship with both you and your furry companion. My goal is to make your pet's time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
About: I have three dogs currently I am caring for, they are treated like my own kids oldest is 9 years old. Prior to adopting my first, I worked at Ace Animal Hospital as reception and a procedure care assistant. I work a full time job, but have plenty of time on the weekends and afternoons to play/walk with your pups. Open to reoccurring work where it makes sense, for your family. I am a good judge of animal temperament from my experience working at the vet, and can ensure that the experience will be beneficial to your family. I am adept in routine feeding, care administration, and active play with your doggos.
“Katherine was amazing, and my dogs felt comfortable with her. She left the house in a great condition and was very accommodating when we needed to extend the care another day. Would highly recommend her!”
“Phoebe was very willing to come to our home to do a meet & greet before confirming her booking. My dogs responded to her very well. Phoebe sent us several pictures during our brief trip. All was great!”
About: I have had a dog almost my entire life. I love animals of all kinds and will help you out with your dog if needed. I will take your dog on walks and give you updates along the way of our progress. I do have a job that I work in the morning and am free every afternoon. I have a dog myself that I love very much. I rescued her when she was a baby and it was a long process on getting her to where she is now. She was traumatized. She’s now 12 years old and as everyone says..... “she’s the best dog in the world.” If you need help walking your dog or day time feeding, hit me up. I’d be happy to help.
About: You can rest assured your furry friend will be in capable hands! I’ve cared for two dogs of my own—one since puppy age to old age, and I currently have a 2yr old pup. I enjoy training dogs/believe this is a great way for bonding. I also enjoy being active and playing or taking dogs on walks. I work full time Monday through Friday, therefore weekends are the best if your dog requires round the clock care. If your dog just needs a morning walk and attention in the evening after I am off work, then I can look after them any day of the week. Personally, I like to keep dogs to their daily routine if possible. I do have a 2 year old dog who is very playful and loves to make new friends. Your furry friend would be coming along on our morning and evening walks and a part of before bed playtime!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs as well as homes for weeks. The most recent one was very fun they had a small older male dog that just loved a lot of attention and would sleep a lot. I have also walked and hiked dogs. I only do school and soccer. I have school two times a week and basically have a practice everyday but other than those activities I’m usually home. I am very caring of my own pets as well as others. I am always making sure a dog always has water and is never too cold or hot. I think it’s important to keep a dog on a routine.
About: Hi! I recently have moved into the area from Florida! I came to the Bay Area with Louie, my 10-year-old Dalmatian! Together we enjoy walks/hikes, bikejoring, and getting out in the beautiful weather! I have my Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Clinical Science. This helps me gain knowledge of your pet’s behavior on a science level. I have used this previously with training my own dog, as well as helping other pet parents! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
About: Hi, I’m Shruti! We welcome dogs and cats for weekday and weekend boarding and day care in our Newark home. From walks and backyard play for dogs to gentle playtime and cozy spots for cats, we tailor care to each pet’s routine and personality. As Toto’s parents—our Bernese Mountain Dog—I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I follow your feeding and care instructions, give pets time to settle in, and share regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. I’d love to learn about your dog or cat and arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure our home is a comfortable fit! I work full-time from home during the week, so I'm available for day care any day throughout the week. For drop-in visits and dog walking, I'm available on weekdays after 5 PM. For pet boarding and house sitting, I'm available on weekends and holidays. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a secure, single-family home with a large, fenced yard. The neighborhood is peaceful and pet-friendly. You can rest assured your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for in a cozy home filled with warmth and love.
About: I had a Dachshund for 13 wonderful years before she crossed the rainbow bridge, and caring for her was a special part of my life. I have five years of dog- and house-sitting experience, including walking, feeding, and providing attentive care for pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds, and have some experience administering oral medications. I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work a 7:30-3pm job, and have availability to walk dogs in the afternoon. I can also dog/house- sit as long as parents are okay with me leaving during the day to work my regular hours. I have lots of availability during school breaks (winter, summer breaks) since I am on a school district schedule, so I can spend all day with your dog children. Feel free to message me about availability for Christmas, and/or New Years or specific school holidays. I care for pets in their owner's home and I follow whatever plan is needed. If the pet needs anything, I make sure to follow everything in detail.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fremont
I had a wonderful experience with Johanna as Asher’s pet sitter! She took excellent care of my fur baby, gave him lots of love and attention, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby! ❤️ It means so much to me knowing he was loved, cared for, and responsibly in good hands. I truly appreciate everything you did and would happily book with you again! 🐾💕
Wow, truly a pet sitter that is above and beyond. She cared for our two doodles - following instructions and ensuring they had lots of playtime and cuddles. Additionally she left the house in perfect condition, actually better than when we left. Her daily updates were detailed and fun. She impressed both me and my husband with professional level photography :) We are so lucky to have found Jenny and highly recommend her.
Despite my 1 yr old pupper having “stranger danger” the first few days, Topher was able to give her space and still show he cared. Zoe eventually came around in the second half of the week and they were best good buddies by the end of the duration. The daily photos, videos, and behavior updates were awesome to receive. The house was in great shape and the girls were so very happy when we got home. Pearl and Zoe give him 5 stars!
Neha is an absolute gem! She’s incredibly sweet and caring. I was so grateful for her attention to our baby and the constant updates, pictures, and videos she sent us. It was a true blessing to have found her, and I would absolutely love for her to take care of Emmy again!
QIAN was amazing with my dogs. She went above and beyond to take care of them! When a certain plan related to our dogs fell through, she stepped up and took them to the designated place without being asked. She was very thorough with her updates, and sent pictures every day. My dogs were loved and well taken care of!
Kim was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away on an extended trip! She was incredibly communicative, sent frequent updates, photos, and videos and went above and beyond to care for them with kindness and, of course, plenty of treats. Incredibly respectful of my home during the house sitting. Highly recommended. ♥️
Estela took care of our 2 whippets & our house while we were away on vacation. The house was well taken care of: she helped put the garbage cans out & in, brought in all our mail & packages, kept the dogs fed & kept them company. Estela was great and did a meet & greet before we left to get to know the dogs and what our expectations were. She was on time and very communicative.
We had a meet and greet with Sumaira for our need to have doggie care, cat care and house sitting for a week. Sumaira has lots of experience and confidence which put us at ease. Our senior cat requires daily meds 2xs per day and our newly adopted 5 y.o. Golden can be rambunctious- Sumaira was at ease caring for both. Our home was well taken care of and she even helped with an unexpected delivery. We received daily pictures and reassurances that all was well. We recommend Sumaira and will ask her to help us again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fremont is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $121 per night. On Rover, 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.

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 Fremont 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 Fremont 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 Fremont 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 Fremont. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
