About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.
“Annmarie has become our “go to” sitter for our Roxie. Roxie is so happy, well taken care of and loved by sweet AnnMarie. We are so lucky that AnnMarie has been there for our family.💕”
“Kayla is an amazing, responsible and thoughtful young woman and she made our first trip without our two pups a very good experience. She met us in advance of her stay, asked good questions and listened as we provided answers and instructions and took great care of our home and our dogs. She gave us timely feedback on her walks with our dogs and I honestly felt like they were happy she was there to play with them and care for them and never missed us. We have already scheduled Kayla for our next trip.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 8 years. I have walked dogs, groomed them, and fed them. I have taught some basic commands. I love to go on adventures with dogs and allow them to explore to their hearts content as long as it’s safe for them. I am currently going to grad school to become a therapist. I have availability from 7am to 4pm, and some nights from 8:30 pm to 10pm. I can work Monday to Saturday. I have a safe home that is a 8 minute walk from a dog park. I like rules and structure and making sure that I am following them to whatever works best for your pet and home. I like to ask questions so that I am prepared to the best of my ability for your pet.
“Laura was absolutely amazing!!!! We have an older grumpy small dog who needs constant care and a younger large doodle who has a ton of energy. She was great with both of them! The old dog doesn’t like most people but he liked her. She took great care of them and we got many updates every day. It was such a relief to know that they were in good hands while we were gone. She took them on many walks, played and had lots of snuggles. I highly recommend Laura. Her care really is top notch”
“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”
“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!”
“My boyfriend & i had the chance to get out of town for our anniversary on short notice & Michael was able to watch Rizzo! All i can say is WOW. Michael made us feel so comfortable being away & watching our dog! Michael was very communicative, respectful, and when he had questions or concerns he reached out right away! Having him stay in our home with our dog was probably the best/easiest decision we made having him for our doggy care giver 😊 we loved having Michael stay with Rizzo! Michael will be our go to guy for Rizzo 🐶 thanks for being such a great guy, Michael!”
“London was fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog, and two cats as well as the house! She is communicative, quick to respond, sent photos and updates and we came home after a week away to 3 happy pets and a clean and safe home! I would 10000% recommend London to anyone, and will be using her again in the future! Thank you for taking such amazing care of our pets!”
“Kenya was fantastic with my high energy, admittedly needy dogs. Very professional and a great communicator! I feel very comfortable with Kenya and have already signed up to have her help us out again!”
“Meghan was great as always! She is so good with our old dog with multiple health issues and medications. She kept us updated on how she was doing. Your pets and home will be in good hands with her.”
“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”
About: The day my best friend Lucca (tiny little Norwich Terrier) came home, I knew I would have a best friend for life. Taking care of my dog provided me with skills like time management, organization, responsibility, independence, and caregiving. Since Lucca passed in the spring, I have been looking to continue my love for caring for doggies, and I hope your pup will love me as much as I know I will love them! I love hanging both inside and outside, running around, or just chilling and providing belly rubs and nice meals! I have a wide range of availability in my schedule for your furry family members. Please let me know if I can provide one of my services! I can assure you I am a trustworthy individual to take care of your pets at home because I have over eight years of experience in both pet care and child care. I always prioritize leaving the home clean and tidy for a refreshing environment when my clients return. It is my objective to always have the pets feeling safe and comfortable, and I always aim to keep their time in my care as close to their normal routine as possible. Apart fro petcare, I have babysat children and teens for many families successfully and without any issues at home.
About: As a sitter, I strive to be your pet's bestie while you're away, making sure to relieve any anxieties with play and companionship. I always provide updates with photos, making sure you never miss out on the fun! I have 6 years experience pet care, dog sitting/walking and house sitting. If you have a furbaby with extra energy, a long walk or safe hike is no problem and fun for everyone! I am currently in nursing school in evening classes. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sits every weekday just shoot me a message and we can find what works best :) I am able to accommodate your fur baby’s needs in anyway. I understand the importance of routine and consistency in our babies' lives, and aim to keep their same daily routines in my care. I regularly communicate with my clients with updates and pictures :) For our energetic or puppy friends, exercise and play time is no problem! For our senior pups, I am attentive to their needs at all times to ensure their comfortability. I am familiar with diapering and administering medications for our senior friends and pups with special needs. I’d love to be a companion for your pup on your vacation/holiday and help maintain a safe, clean environment in your home!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Livermore
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!
Tina and Yaritza were a dynamic duo in helping take care of our little zoo at home - fish, kitties and our very spoiled dog. They are both very gentle and calm with the animals. We got pictures and updates during the weekend and came home to happy animals and a clean house. We will be booking with Tina again.
We are using Megan’s services for the fourth time, and she has taken wonderful care of our GSD puppy during two-night stays at our home. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable handling a young, energetic puppy. We always come back to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We truly appreciate her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Livermore on Rover is $76.59 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,276 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Livermore. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
