“This was Kat's first time sitting for our kitten Peanut, and she exceeded our expectations across the board. Communication was excellent — she shared regular updates and sent us genuinely fun photos that we loved getting throughout the trip. When we hit an unexpected schedule change, Kat was completely accommodating and made it a non-issue. The house was just as clean as we left it. She followed everything we asked, from the litter box routine to stripping the bed before we got back. Most importantly, Peanut was visibly happy and well-adjusted when we returned — you can always tell when a sitter has actually engaged with your pet, and she clearly had. Peanut was so comfortable with Kat that we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely have her sit for Peanut again. Highly recommend.”

“Colin has watched GG at our home twice now, and we know he loves her. He sends great pictures where she always looks happy, and sends us updates. He is sweet, responsible, and responsive! He takes good care of my baby and home. Thank you Colin!”

“Dorothy was amazing! My dogs were happy while we were gone and we got some pretty incredible photos of our girls. We asked Dorothy to do a little extra and she did. We will definitely be calling Dorothy soon! We cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I was raised in a house with at least 6 dogs. I love all animals and care for they wellbeing. I am working part-time jobs 3 days a week and will have plenty time to take care of the dog and take them for walks and get some exercises if needed . I have a safe fenced backyard with lots of space for them to move around and play. I would engage and not leave them alone for a long time.
“Paula was amazing! My dog is shy and anxious, but Paula was very patient and gave her time and space to warm up. She sent detailed updates with great pictures and took such good care of my girl.”

About: Hi my name is Andrea leon; A licensed and insured farm/pet sitter serving the North Bay Area. From Sonoma County to San Joaquin county 4 years licensed. I’ve had a passion for caring for others since I was young, and that extends to every pet I meet. Your pet will always be in good hands with me—I treat every animal like my own and make sure they’re having a great time. I welcome all breeds and sizes. I truly enjoy helping people however I can, so let me help you by giving your pet the care and attention they deserve! This is my full time job! Please message me to book with me and we can sort out the details! I would prefer for you to book in advance but I do sometimes have availability. Please keep in mind there is a 42 hr cancellation fee of $20 as I plan other clients around each schedule I own a few pet gates to separate pups if needed! I will not board another client if you do not feel comfortable or if your fur baby doesn’t get along with others.
About: I've fostered dogs in my home and cared for dogs and cats in other people's homes and am excited to do more of both! I got into housesitting several months ago and love getting to spend focused time and attention on animals while their people are away. While fostering dogs, I worked on light training - improving walking manners, comfort with strangers, and basic commands. I cared for my dogs for a few weeks to several months until they were adopted and loved getting updates from their new families about their progress. I make time for your animals as they need it! I work part time, which allows plenty of time for walks, playing fetch, cuddle sessions, and on-time meals. If temperament allows, I’ll take your pup with me to dog-friendly spots in town and along longer walking paths and trails. I'm new to California and settling in the area. I'm excited to explore different neighborhoods, meet cool people, and spend time with your furry friends. If I’m staying in your home, I’m in your best friends’ space. Whatever they’re used to, is what they’ll get, whether that’s permission (or not) to get on furniture, sleep with me in bed, and set our walking schedule.
About: *great references available upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.* Hi there! I have been in the animal care business my whole life. Growing up on a ranch taught me a lot about horses, dogs, cats and the outdoors. I am very knowledgeable in terms of animal health and behavior. I have been entrusted with many great animals in my lifetime, and it's so rewarding to get to know each individual pet and their families. Having raised my own German Shepherds, I was able to apply and learn what I needed to create a good all around dog. My personal dogs have given me and edge in how I communicate with each dog that comes into my care. I understand all dogs are different and I like taking things slow, and building trust and confidence in the long run. I take pride in providing the greatest care to each individual pet. I have references for house/pet sitting, dog walks, basic dog grooming, Kennel Management, Dog Breeding, ranch caretaking, barn manager, foreman, assistant to horse trainer, from/horse care/feed/lay up. I also have background in House Cleaning, in home caregiving and Personal Assistant roles. I am accustomed to taking care of my own personal pets daily. I check their food/water in am and pm. and usually lunch time. I take them out for constant bathroom breaks, play time, exercise. Double checking doors, locks. Safety First. Ensuring all and any gear are working well, (collar, leash, harness etc) I reach out to you periodically during visits / walks/ boarding/ sitting. I am available for any questions, comments, and concerns.
“Patrick watched our two boxers for four nights and five days while we were away. They are very high energy, so we were a little concerned about leaving them with a sitter. However, Patrick handled them far better than we could’ve expected, doing everything we asked and then some! He sent us updates regularly and left us with a spotless home to return to. We would highly recommend Patrick and will definitely book his services again.”

“nichol is one of the most pure, thoughtful, and incredible humans I have met. This is the second time she has taken loving care of my pup, and she gave him so much care and attention and sent numerous photos and updates, in addition to leaving my place spotless. Thank you thank you, nichol. 😊”

“We are so happy with our experience with Pamela. It was our first time leaving our dog and we are so happy we chose her. Pamela was communicative, shared daily pictures, and kept us informed during our whole trip. She took great care of our home too - she has a small footprint and we hardly noticed anyone was ever in our house. We feel so grateful that we found someone we trust with our dog and we look forward to partnering with Pamela again on our next trip!”

About: Hi, I’m Len, and I’ve been lifelong passionate dog lover. With over 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds from energetic puppies to wise senior pups and everything in between I understand what it takes to provide excellent care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Dogs seem to take to me naturally, and I love building trust and strong bonds with every pup I meet. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, a playmate, or a quiet companion, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Living in Oakland, I’m familiar with all the best parks, walking routes, and local spots where your dog can enjoy the outdoors. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for, just as if they were my own. I work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I would only accept jobs that I’m certain I can attend to that accommodate my schedule. I live in a community building with security staff 24 hours, it’s very dog friendly. There are special accommodations for dogs, such as a fenced in area for dogs.
About: I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, especially if they are older and slower, but I also enjoy energetic puppies and pets that need some training and just need some positive re-enforcement. I am available to House sit - although I don't know how to reflect that on the website. I actively practice positive reinforcement obedience training. My schedule is open now in general but I may do a retreat every so often. I nearby in the Bay Area, my schedule is more flexible. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, since I live in a small place. I am attentive to the needs of the pet and if I see that the pet needs exercise, I make sure they get sufficient exercise through their regular routines.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes caring for your pets (and your home) seriously! Since I’m not able to have animals in my apartment, I love being able to give my full attention and care to yours in the comfort of their own space. I work from home full time, which allows me to provide consistent companionship, maintain walk schedules, and be present during the day — great for puppies, senior pets, or animals who prefer extra company. I’m attentive to routines, comfortable following detailed care instructions, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also enjoy caring for small animals like hamsters and rats, and I’m comfortable in multi-pet households.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,122 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lairds Landing. 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 Lairds Landing 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 Lairds Landing 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 Lairds Landing 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.
