“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.”
“I hired AnnMarie for an overnight sitting job. My dog is quite anxious and it takes her while to trust people. AnnMarie was able to deal with her issues and they both spent a comfortable night together. AnnMarie was great in accepting my dog's idiosyncracies for which I am very grateful. She also communicated well to put me at ease. I highly recommend AnnMarie and plan to hire her again.”
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.
“Laura was fantastic. She cared for our dog like her own and made sure to give us great daily updates while we were out of the country. She even cleaned the house, which was amazing to come home to after a long trip. We will definitely be rebooking with Laura in the future. She created a great friendship with our dog and we are so thankful!”
“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.”
“Michael is the best! My dog absolutely adores him and he is no easy task (150lb Irish Wolfhound who is ALL puppy!). It is so nice to leave and have a major sense of comfort. Thank you Michael!!”
“Jenarae has watched our pack in the past and she has shown competence and diligence with our monsters and home. We have three bully breeds and one Maine Coon and they all have their own physical and emotional needs; Jenarae has been great at adapting to each of their needs to assure they all feel secure and loved.”
“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!”

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks while giving each pet the time and attention they deserve.

I have experience caring for many different dog breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering medication if needed, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives attentive, loving care while respecting your home and following your instructions.
“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: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family multiple times, giving me real experience with different personalities, routines, and needs.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Livermore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Livermore on Rover is $76.59 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,277 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.
