“AnnMarie was wonderful with our dog and when we came home our house was cleaner than when we left it. We went away for a birthday weekend and when we returned she had left me a birthday gift. Such a wonderful and thoughtful person.”
About: I have been pet sitting for relatives for many years, and I understand how difficult it can be to leave them in the hands of another person. I love my dogs like my children and care for them as such. I cared for my dog Lexi for over 16 years. I have loved dogs ever since and would really like to help you take care of yours. I am a teacher at Emerald High School where I teach Biomedical Sciences. As such, I have the opportunity to leave work before most 9-5s to take care of your doggo or pupper. If you would like your dog socialized, my dog is friendly with other dogs, but I can also leave my dogs at home to take care of your dog solo. I live an active lifestyle where I run 3-4 miles almost every day. So if your dog is just as active, I can help release your dog's energy through running. My daily routine revolves around my dog since I do not have children. I prefer to care for you dog in my home to ensure they have continuous care. I have a fenced yard and one dog who tolerates her younger puppy cousin staying with us for long periods of time. I have a dog door that would fit a dog that’s 50 lbs or under. I can also stay at your home if that’s something you prefer.
“Mark was absolutely wonderful! He took such great care of our dog and made sure he got lots of walks and attention while we were away. I really appreciated all the updates he sent, which made it so much easier to relax knowing our pup was happy and well looked after. He also left the house tidy, which i really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Mark and would happily have him look after our dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Kelli was amazing! After our meet and greet, I immediately had really good vibes and felt comfortable leaving Hoku in her care. She had great communication, did everything I asked and then some, and Hoku seemed so happy and at ease with her. That means everything to me! I would absolutely recommend Kelli and will definitely book with her again. 🐾💖”
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.
About: May not have any dog sitter experiences. But I have been the main parent and love giver for my PopZ for 11 years. I see that as a crucial deciding factor in determining how affectionate I am with dogs. PopZ has learned several tricks from us like roll over, right, left paw, pray, turn around, whisper (soft bark) and more. I love him a lot and I feel that all dog lovers do as well. So if I’m your dog sitter and/walker, you will get the best from me. *second best”. PopZ gets the best. lol. JK, all dogs are precious. Decided to take a break from working and spend more time with family and my cutie pie PopZ, our love pet since he was 2 months old. I just love dogs and thought, why not do dog sitting to have the opportunity to see other dogs that will brighten my day 🙂. I can dog sit, walk them any day if you give me 3 days notice. For dog sitting, I will ensure they have food, fresh water when needed. They will have petting and playtime 🙂. And will go for walks if that’s what’s part of the routine.
About: Hello future clients and furry friends! I’m Katherine and I can assure you I have all the experience you’re looking for considering I have 3 fur babies of my own! I’ve loved caring for animals since I can remember and have since revolved my entire life around it. From taking care of my own pets to working at a dog groomer salon to now working at a veterinary clinic! Working around pets for so long definitely has it’s perks from dealing with pumped up pups and comforting sleepy seniors. Big or small, adapting is never an issue for me! I’m also CPR certified for all sizes! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a veterinary clinic so this would be mainly for the hours/days I’m not working! My schedule is pretty set so working out a timed schedule wouldn’t be a problem for me! For anyone that’s curious this is my current work schedule: Monday,Tuesday, and Thursday~ 2pm-7pm Wednesday and Friday~ 8am-2pm I have quite a bit of experience on working in other homes! I respect boundaries and I always bring my own personals so you don’t have to worry about a thing! :)
About: I have a deep love for animals, and my own dog is like my son. His name is Potato. He’s incredibly loved, well cared for, and definitely spoiled with affection! Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them as if they were my own family. They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care in a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for with the same love and dedication I give my own dog. I am available Monday through Friday except during this time 2:30 to 6:00 PM. If you need care for a longer period, I’m happy to discuss accommodations. I am also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I take care of my dog by making homemade meals every day using healthy ingredients, give him healthy treats, and always make sure he has fresh water. We go on daily walks, play together, and he gets plenty of cuddles and attention throughout the day. I will treat your pet/family the same 🙂 I love taking Potato on adventures, and he’s traveled with me to more than six states. I make sure he’s always safe, comfortable, and included wherever we go.
“I measure the trustworthiness of a dog sitter by how fast Maggie warms to them. Katelyn proved to be perfect for us. Maggie approached her in the first meeting and that almost never happens. If you are unsure about bringing in a new dog sitter, try Katelyn, you will be very happy with the result.”
“London is responsive, responsible, and so sweet with our boys! She sent pics without having to ask, and our dogs love her. She arrived on time and went out of her way to help out by moving my car for me, which she totally didn’t have to do. It was so nice being able to actually relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about what was happening at my house, and we will definitely be reaching out to London when we go out of town again!”
About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.
“My chihuahua and sisters German shepherd/black lab mix loved having Angelique stay with them during our weekend away. Angelique was so kind to do a visit ahead of time, was very communicative, and organized her schedule around our dogs. My dog loves to cuddle and definitely got all of the love from Angelique. We’d love to have her back to stay at our place with cooper in the future.”
“Byrnnye was an excellent dog sitter and left our home immaculately clean, we appreciated her very much. She was very responsive in getting back to us with texts that kept us informed of our dog's wellbeing.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for and training dogs of various breeds and ages. I've had three dogs, each a different breed, starting from when they were just 4 weeks old. I successfully trained them. My hands-on experience with different breeds and stages of development has equipped me with a deep understanding of canine behavior, making me a patient and effective pet caretaker. Additionally, my lifelong love for dogs and cats drives my dedication to providing the best possible care for your pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to pet care. I only have online classes at ASU Online, which means I'm available throughout the day to take care of your pets. This flexibility ensures that I can provide consistent, attentive care, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or other needs your pets may have. My commitment to your pets' well-being fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring they receive the best care possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a pet-friendly environment by removing hazards and ensuring secure spaces. I follow strict hygiene practices and maintain consistency with your pet's routine. In your home, I respect your space and follow specific instructions to ensure your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness
“We are so grateful to have found Mai! She takes such great care of our dogs and home every time we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and it gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Mai follows all our instructions carefully, asks for clarification when needed, and keeps us updated throughout her stay. Plus, she always leaves the house spotless! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”

Amber is a genuine Sweetheart. I knew the moment I met her in person, before confirming the book, that she was a walking heart. She took care of my babies and I came to a home cleaner than how I left it! She sent in pics and reported daily and I felt truly at ease that my pets were in good hands. I kinda don’t want to praise her too much for fear that she’ll be taken when I need her! lol😊 Amber, thank you so much for your love and support while I was away. It helped me enjoy my sons wedding without stressing about my other babies.
Mark was absolutely wonderful! He took such great care of our dog and made sure he got lots of walks and attention while we were away. I really appreciated all the updates he sent, which made it so much easier to relax knowing our pup was happy and well looked after. He also left the house tidy, which i really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Mark and would happily have him look after our dog again. Highly recommend!
I measure the trustworthiness of a dog sitter by how fast Maggie warms to them. Katelyn proved to be perfect for us. Maggie approached her in the first meeting and that almost never happens. If you are unsure about bringing in a new dog sitter, try Katelyn, you will be very happy with the result.
I am so very thankful to have found Ashley to watch our senior pup for 10 days. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was safe and comfortable. Every interaction was professional. Her experience as a vet tech left us with peace of mind while we were away. A true gem!
We were so lucky to get London to house/dog sit for us for a week! She took wonderful care of the dogs while we were away, sending daily pictures and updates. The dogs got daily walks and lots of love! She took great care of the house as well, bringing in the mail and making sure that everything was in order when we got home. We will definitely use her services in the future, especially since the doggies already miss her!
Kayla was absolutely wonderful! This was the 3rd time she has pet/house sat for us, and we continue to feel so grateful to have someone we can fully trust with our home and our pets. She is responsible, caring, reliable, and attentive. One of our pets, Bugsy, is very shy and not easy to make comfortable, but Kayla was so patient and kind that Bugsy felt completely at ease with her. That meant the world to us. Because of Kayla, we were actually able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing everything at home was in excellent hands. She clearly has a natural way with animals. We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet/house sitter
Garret has sat for us before and we would absolutely use his services again! Garret took great care of our cat, dog, and home while we were traveling. Provided updates and pictures throughout his the stay. He is super easy going, great with our animals, and a trustworthy house sitter. I would recommend Garret to anyone!
We reached out to Victoria on Rover when we were struggling to find a sitter for our dog during the holidays. She replied right away and came over for the meet and greet as our vacation was coming up soon. She asked questions, and was respectful and understanding of our house rules. She did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog and kept us updated with pictures. Would definitely ask her to watch our dog again. Thanks again, Victoria!
Sarah watched our two dogs and three cats for about a week and a half. We loved her calm presence at our meet and greet, and she asked all the right questions and took time to warm up to our shyer cats. However, the stay itself wasn't quite what we expected. Sarah got sick the Saturday we left and arrived eight hours late, early Sunday morning (I understand, things happen). Over the course of the stay, though, one of Blaze's medications wasn't given and communication was sparse. After I checked in with Sarah about her late arrival on Sunday morning, I didn't hear from her again until I reached out for an update Monday night. The first pictures came Tuesday evening; I was happy to get a second set on Thursday showing the two cats missing from the first batch. I've never had a sitter who didn't send photos on arrival to let me know all was well, and most have been eager to share pictures and updates every day, unprompted. When we were in touch, Sarah was always polite, professional, and very self-sufficient. The house was immaculate when we got home, and the pets seemed well cared for, though a bit anxious. They are used to having someone around most of the time, and while we'd agreed Sarah didn't need to stay every night, she was gone more during the day than I'd anticipated. Sarah clearly loves animals and took great care of our home. If I were to offer advice, it would be to spend a little more time at the house and send regular updates, especially photos of all the pets early on, since that would have given us much more peace of mind.

The average cost of House Sitting in Livermore is $77 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $121 per night.

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 Livermore 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 Livermore 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 Livermore 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 Livermore. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
