About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
“This is the second time Meghan has cared for our fur family and she’s done a wonderful job both times. She even brought in the mail and took out the trash which is really appreciated. All of our animals were happy and well cared for. I can highly recommend Meghan.”
“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. 🐾💖”
“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.”
“Amy is amazing!!! Our anxious dog loves her so much and that makes us feel so great when we leave town. I know that our dog is in the most caring hands. Amy is our go to whenever we travel because our dog says so!!”
“Kenya's the best! Truman is a needy dog with a medical condition, so it was stressful for us to leave him alone during our vacation. Kenya rested our minds with frequent updates of Trumam smiling so we always knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend Kenya... very professional and communicative. Will be using he again.”
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.
“Tatyana did a phenomenal job— literally above and beyond! She was so kind and patient with my Doberman and kitty. We were so glad she got along so well with our pets and gave them the best time while my husband and I were away. Highly recommend and would love to book Tatyana again the next time we’re out of town.”
“Topher was great with my elderly bichon who is struggling with cognitive decline and requires medicine. He also left my space in wonderful condition and his communication was top notch! I received pictures of my little guy multiple times a day and never once worried that he wasn’t happy and thriving! Thank you Topher for allowing me to have a worry free trip!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth took such good care of our dog while we were away for our trip. She sent updates and photos daily and made sure our dog was comfortable and loved every day. We highly recommend Elizabeth for anyone who is in need of someone to watch after their pet and home.”
About: I have a huge passion for animals and always have since I was little. I love dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, anything you name it! Being around animals brings me so much joy. I’ve taken care of close friends, or family pets in the past. I’m extremely detail-oriented and very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals. I have always been sure to fulfill the needs of animals under my care. I am a fast learner as well, so if there is ever a new skill I need to learn based off an animal in my care, I’m quick to pick up on it! I’m currently working part-time, and I am a student as well! I only work during the evenings and my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays at Las Positas, so I’m generally free any other time! My work schedule is pretty flexible as well and I love to make time for pet care/ animal quality time! I live in a very safe and friendly community, which provides other community dogs and dog parks as well. Lots of grassy area to play and nice scenery to take animals on walks. I am very open to following directions with client in home care, as well as adapting to the environment or adding anything to provide care so pets are comfortable as well as their owners!
“Jenarae is really sweet and took great care of my dog Hendrix. He enjoyed had a fun time on their walks and was eager to snuggle up with her. I was at ease during my travels knowing my boy and my home were in good care.”
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs for the past 30 years. Neighbors, friends & family have trusted me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I will treat your pet like a member of my family. I look forward to meeting you and your baby! 🥰 I am currently not working so I will have all the time and attention to care for your pet. I am very flexible and trustworthy. They will get the ultimate pampering from me! I have a fenced in yard and close to a dog park. I will make sure they get plenty of love and exercise. You will not regret your decision to let me love & care for your pet.
“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
