“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“We absolutely loved the care Sony received! Navneet treated him with so much love, patience, and attention, as if he were her own dog. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Sony was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine affection she showed him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! 🐾💕”
“They were wonderful sitters for our pup with terrible separation anxiety. They sent pictures and updates of their time with her and how she was doing. Would definitely use them again!”
About: Raised my 4yo doodle from 8 weeks. Both my husband and I are WFH. As a routine we walk our dog 5 times a day. We are patient, calm and reliable and cherish dogs as they are part of the family. I always communicate well via text and photos to give you a peach of mind while away from home. Both my husband and I are both working from home. Flexible schedule to accommodate yours. Can walk your doggy as often as needed and play with them anytime. We prefer to arrange drop off and pick up times between 7:30am and 7:30pm due to our little kid’s schedule. Appreciate your understanding! Safety is our top priority. We have a safe area for dogs to hang out and pay great attention to the dogs as we are WFH. Dogs will stay with my wonderful, friendly Momo who is a calm and gentle doodle. He is a neutered male with boarding experience before. We have a big backyard with fence so no risk for loss. I only allow one dog boarding at once so your dog will get all the attention it deserves.
“My dog was well cared for with Lili and Matt. I got regular updates on how my dog was doing and he had all his needs met. I would recommend them and plan on returning to ask Lili and Matt to watch my dog again.”
“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them goes far beyond simply caring for them. I genuinely believe animals are an extension of ourselves, each with their own little personalities, emotions, and ways of communicating. I currently have four cats of my own, so I’ve spent many years learning their needs, behaviors, routines, and the importance of giving them consistent love and attention. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for neighbors’ pets, along with gaining hands-on animal experience working in the animal section at the County Fair. There, I handled and cared for rabbits and helped visitors safely interact with them. Being around different animals has only grown my appreciation and connection with them. I’m naturally very patient, gentle, and intuitive with animals. I love taking the time to understand each pet’s personality, picking up on their body language, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and timid, or need a little extra affection, I always want them to feel understood and cared for. I have a soft spot for absolutely all animals, regardless of their age, size, or species. Cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, you name it! I honestly love spoiling animals, spending time with them, and treating them like the little family members they are. I don’t believe pet care should ever feel rushed or impersonal. Every animal deserves genuine attention, patience, and affection, and that’s exactly what I strive to give. My goal is for every pet to feel at home with me and for their parents to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I currently have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, so I’m happy to accommodate different routines, schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. I love being able to give pets my full attention, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight stays. You and your pet’s routine and comfort always come first! My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re in a second home, surrounded by love, comfort, and attention. I have a fully fenced and gated backyard for supervised outdoor time, food and water bowls, crates, two litter boxes, and a cat harness and leash if needed. There are no pet doors installed so they can’t sneak out the house, and doors will be closed at all times to prevent accidental escapes. Most of my home is carpeted with some tiles, and pets are welcome on the couches and beds if their owners permit it. I currently have four cats of my own, who are indoor-outdoor cats, but I can absolutely keep visiting pets separated in my own room or another designated space whenever needed. I take introductions and boundaries seriously and will never force animals to interact. Their safety and comfort always come first. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual preferences, whether that means feeding them in a specific location, following their usual meal schedule, administering medication according to their owner’s instructions, or giving them their favorite kind of playtime and affection. I keep a clean environment and make sure every animal is supervised and checked on consistently, even when they’re resting in separate rooms. Communication is something I take very seriously, too. I love sending frequent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day so owners never feel out of the loop. If you’d like, I can even keep a detailed activity log of your pet’s day, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medication, and anything else worth noting. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pet with me as your pet feels staying here. I treat every animal like my own and genuinely enjoy giving them all the extra love, patience, and attention they deserve. Your babies are never just another booking to me. They’re family while they’re in my care.
“Sameer is awesome! I can't say enough great things about Totti's stay with him and his family. During our meet and greet, he led us to the back to allow Totti to get familiar with him, his home, and his beautiful dog. He proceeded to let us know how he typically handles and takes care of any dogs he has in his care, which include frequent walks, potty breaks, and separating each pet during meal times (which is so great!). During Totti's stay, Sameer gave us daily updates and photos, helping us feeling really comfortable and worry-free. He was very accommodating when it came to scheduling pick-up and drop-off times, and really made an effort to make Totti feel comfortable under his care. I'll definitely return because Totti absolutely loved his stay there. Thanks, Sameer!”
About: Hey! I am an avid dog lover with over 17 years of experience caring for dogs. I am great with animals, and dogs love staying with me. I provide a fun and nurturing environment to ensure your dog is comfortable while you are away. I have 8 years of experience volunteering at Animal shelters, and have been trained to deal with all different types of dogs. My own dog recently passed away, so I am devoting all my energy and care to caring for your furry friend. Rest easy knowing your dog will be in great hands and have an amazing time while you are away. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I am currently self employed from home, so your pet will have my full attention and care. Our community is dog friendly with many walking paths and dog bags. My home is open and spacious for any pet, and I will make sure to clear the area prior to their arrival. We also have dog gates and beds here in case your pal needs them.
“Harinee was absolutely amazing! ❤️ She took care of Cyrus like he was a part of her own family and spoiled him with so much love and attention. She sent us regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying about him. Coco is incredibly calm and well behaved, and kept Cyrus great company during his stay. We’re so grateful to Harinee for taking such wonderful care of Cyrus. ❤️”
“Shawna was able to accommodate Kylo at short notice, which we are very thankful for, as our previous sitter cancelled on us last minute. She also administered his antibiotics and kept us updated on his progress. Kylo had a nice Christmas break with Shawna and family. :)”
“Yanhong was absolutely amazing with my senior Pomeranian Lexie! She handled all of Lexies special needs as a senior (frequent potty breaks, small frequent meals to avoid vomiting, twice daily meds, separation anxiety and confusion with her advanced years etc) with such love and grace. She communicated with me often with how Lexie’s day was going, how she was eating, pottying and so forth. I received lots of photos and videos of Lexie while we were gone. 🥰 I felt completely at ease and Lexie enjoyed her stay very much. I’m so grateful for her caring nature and her willingness to take on our complicated girl. I will definitely use her again!”

Monisa and David had Shaka are for 4 days and she was a VERY happy camper every day when she came home. They were keen to recognize her obsession with frisbees (and squirrels) right away. Monisa and David will always be our go-to for Shaka's care when we can't be around.
Elaine and Moi have been great with Millie, and we cannot thank them enough for all the love and care they give her. Millie is always so excited to see them, which says everything about the special bond they have built with her. We always love receiving their updates, photos, and videos, especially Elaine’s commentary, which brings a smile to our faces every time. Knowing Millie is so happy and well cared for gives us complete peace of mind. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Elaine and Moi. They have treated Millie like family, and we will always be grateful for the wonderful memories and care they have given her. We cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for exceptional, loving, and reliable dog sitters!
Jita and Saji are amazing! They treated my dog Penny like one of their family. She got along great with their sweet dog and absolutely loved staying with them. They sent me cute pictures every day and were very responsive to messages! Would 100% recommend them to others.
Kirsten & Kristian took such excellent care of our girls. We felt at ease knowing our girls were having such a great time with them. Our girls were immediately behaving like they would at home, lounging about and displaying their little quirks. We looked forward to their daily updates and enjoyed seeing them excited on their walks which included lots of nature— I know they enjoyed this a lot. Thank you very much Kirsten, Kristian, and family for caring for our girls. We look forward to them spending time with you all again! : )
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dog. I loved the pictures and updates, hearing about the different games you played with him like hiding his food around the house and the cup game. Thank you for letting him get used to you gradually as he's a bit nervous at first but he seemed to be really comfortable by the end of his stay. We'll definitely book in the future!
Alyssa stepped in on short notice when our regular sitter canceled and was completely flexible with our drop off and pickup needs. Communication was fantastic... clear, prompt, and friendly the entire time. Maui was well cared for and came home tired and happy from playing so much during his stay!
Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bedotroyee was absolutely amazing with my German Shepherd during a 4-day stay! My dog can be very picky and set in his ways, but she truly cared for him like her own. She kept him active and happy with long walks, trips to the dog park, and plenty of fun playtime in the backyard.I loved getting constant photo, video, and text updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Plus, when he had a little too much fun in the mud, she went above and beyond to clean him up thoroughly. I will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
This was our second time using Renee, and we couldn't be happier. Our puppy, Aloo, was in amazing hands with her for the 10 days we were away on vacation. While we definitely missed him and were a bit worried, seeing what a happy puppy he was with her completely put our minds at ease. We highly recommend her!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Livermore can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Livermore home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Livermore.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Livermore. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
You and your Livermore sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
