“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

About: Hi! I'm Annie, a Bay Area creative with a lifelong passion for animal care. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for my own beloved pets - Fufu the poodle, Turtle the turtle, and Bibi the Siberian hamster. Each of them holds a special place in my heart and taught me how to provide attentive care for different types of animals. This hands-on experience has given me valuable insights into caring for different species and understanding their distinct personalities and requirements. I would love to provide dedicated pet sitting and walking services for your furry family members. I believe in giving each pet the same loving attention and care that I would give for my animal friends. Available for walks, home visits, and overnight stays, I'll ensure your dogs receive plenty of love, exercise, and companionship while you're away. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I'm ready to give your dog the best care possible! With my part-time work schedule, I have plenty of availability to shower your pets with attention! I'm free Monday-Friday, from 9 am to 4 pm, perfect for midday walks, playtime, and check-ins. Your dog's safety is my top priority. We've got a securely fenced front and back yard, so your furry pal can romp and play to their heart's content without any worries. Our home is nice and roomy, with easy-to-clean wooden floors – perfect for dogs! We aim to create a super comfy and safe space where your dog can relax and feel right at home.

Both of them are a bit of a handful as one is a senior with incontinence issues (he needs regular outsides and diaper changes) while the other is younger and requests regular attention. Rose arrived on time, she made sure both dogs had regular breaks and she shared lots of pictures. We will definitely work with her again.”

About: Here to help, here to care, prefer other calm non shedding 25-50lb well behaved and calm dogs My intention is to offer reasonably priced care to others's dogs who worry about their pet like their own child - i feel this way about my own pet so wanted to jump in and help some one else out who has similar dogs like mine (to allow a suitable mutual match, i have strong preferences for calmer, 4-5+ aged 25-50lb female spayed dogs who will get along well with my dog and don't require excessive entertaining and minimum care. I would also need to be able to keep them contained in a large room with a pet gate / room divider at time or in a crate if they are used to it if i step away for a hour or two (at most 4 hrs). I will have cameras and bark alerting systems to monitor their wellbeing. I currently work from home 2-3 days of the week and I can be home on weekends by appointment I would host dogs who can be left home for a couple hours at a time in a contained crate / playpen to run my errands or small appointments on the weekend and weekday evenings Fenced yard, caring kid and friendly doodle at host's home, access to walking trails 2-3x a day, love spending time outdoors with dogs and playing fetch or tug rope with them

We returned to a beautifully kept house, as if no one had stayed there, and the pets were happy too 😊 Thank you so much, Demi!”

Kaila was incredible! I just moved, so finding a new dog sitter for Pax was a daunting task. From the second Pax and I met Kaila, both of our worries were put to ease. Kaila took care of Pax and loved him as if he was her own. The communication with me was amazing! I will be rebooking her for ALL my pet sitting needs 🩷

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!

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.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fremont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fremont on Rover is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $122 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 9,212 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fremont. 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 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.

<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 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 , 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.

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.
