“We had a wonderful experience with Autumn watching our dog, Bandit. We came home to a clean & tidy place plus one happy pup. We appreciated receiving pictures, reassuring that bandit was having a great time and looked content. We would absolutely recommend Autumn’s services and look forward to booking again in the future!”

“One of the best! So kind and caring, I felt zero worries with Amanda taking care of our dogs and our home. We were sent photos and updates daily, which we loved, and could tell the pups were tired and happy when we got back from our trip! Amanda is 10/10!!”

“This was my first time using Erika and she was great! She was very communicative and asked clarifying questions, as Ginger was anxious from the wind and unknown reasons. Erika is very caring and I can tell she loves animals. Ginger was happy and healthy when I came home and my house was clean and well cared for!”
“Scarlet was very attentive to the needs of our pets, sending pictures and updates. She left the house clean, started the dishwasher, and washed the sheets that were on the bed. We will definitely use her again.”

“Tyler was fantastic! He stayed with our two dogs over the weekend and was very responsible and communicative. I can tell the dogs are happy and were well cared for. He also left the house in pristine condition. Thanks Tyler!”

“Isabella is prompt, reliable, communicates quickly and took great care of the pooches while we were away. They have found a new friend and can't wait for us to use Isabelle again.”

“Sarah is excellent! She took great care of my dog and cats while I was away, and I came home to a very happy crew of animals. Communication and photos were great. Will definitely hire her again and highly recommend!!!”

“I can’t thank Taylor enough for house sitting and watching our fur babies! He is trustworthy, caring, communicates well (including sending us pictures!), and even helped with some house chores which we so very much appreciated! Thank you so much! :)”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years, starting when I adopted my first pup. Since then, I’ve welcomed multiple rescue dogs into my home, each with their own unique personality and needs. Today, I share life with 3 wonderful dogs — two of them seniors — along with 3 cats and a pair of friendly rats, so I’m experienced in multi-pet households. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — from energetic puppies who need training reinforcement to senior dogs who move at a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with large and small breeds, administering medications, and following specific feeding and care routines. Whether your dog needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or in-home pet sitting, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your dog with the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy dog sitter and walker, I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite friend. I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, your cat prefers morning playtime, or your senior pet requires multiple short visits throughout the day, I can be there when they need me. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, regular check-ins, and care tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Weekdays, weekends, and even last-minute requests are often possible — just reach out and I’ll do my best to make it work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are secure at all times, keep a close eye during walks or play, and ensure fresh water and a safe environment before I leave. I respect your home as much as I respect your pets — I’m mindful of cleanliness, careful with your belongings, and always lock up securely when I go. I’m comfortable handling keys, access codes, and any special instructions for alarms or entry. With years of hands-on experience and a deep love for animals, you can feel confident that your pets are in safe, caring, and trustworthy hands while you’re away.

“Kept me informed to dog loved her and appears the feeling mutual. Wouldn't hesitate to call on Allison again. I got hung up on return by a few hours and she stayed with my furry housemate till I got home.”

“Katherine was fantastic with our boxer boys. She watched them for 2 weeks while we were away and was very accommodating with last minute changes we needed to make. We could tell she really enjoyed her time with them. And they were very happy when we picked them up, so they seemed to enjoy their time too. Our younger pup loves playing with kids now after all his time with Katherine's daughter.”


About: I have been dog sitting since I was 14, and I absolutely love it! I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes- though I am biased to senior pups (I love their powdered sugar faces!) I have experience caring for dogs with health conditions and mobility challenges too. I love animals and I always go above and beyond in my care of pets. I am currently working full time, though my job is flexible and I am often able to work remotely. I can check on pets in the morning, midday, evening, and before bed. When caring for pets in a clients home, I believe that I am also caring for your home! I make sure to keep the home clean and tidy while caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a clients home, I make sure to follow any house rules (even if it pains me not to let pups on the sofa) and make sure to adhere to your pets routine. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they are safe and comfortable being in a new space. I’ll make sure they have their toys, blankets, and treats so that they feel as relaxed as possible for their stay. I’ll also make sure that I accommodate any specific routines that your pet has.
“Leah was amazing! She saved the day when our other Rover sitter cancelled less than 48 hours before our trip. She even made time to come meet us and the dogs on such short notice. This was our first time using Rover and leaving our girls with anyone other than close family but Leah did not disappoint. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures/videos which put our minds at ease. She left our home clean and everything was in order when we returned. We are so thankful to have found her!”

About: For more than 15 years, I've been the person friends call when they need someone they completely trust with their pets and their home. I've cared for dogs and cats for everything from daily walks and check-ins to several-week stays, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal's unique personality. I naturally build trust with animals and have found that even more anxious, reactive, or shy pets often settle quickly with me. I've cared for dogs with social anxiety, leash reactivity, and strong personalities, and I enjoy helping them feel safe, confident, and understood. I'm also comfortable with puppies and reinforcing basic training and routines while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. When I'm caring for a pet, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Whether that's regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply quiet companionship, I enjoy giving each pet the attention and care they need to feel comfortable while their family is away. Clear communication is also important to me, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages to let you know how your pet is doing. I currently offer care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay in the environment they know and love. I find that keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and preferences. Some love long walks and lots of play, while others are happiest with quiet companionship and sticking to their routine. I enjoy meeting them where they are and giving them the care they need rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection if they want it. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. At this time, I am not able to provide boarding in my own home, so all of my services take place in my clients' homes.
“Hailee is AMAZING!! She is just so good with our dogs. So very reliable and her communication is the best! She took such good care of our dogs and the house was so well kept. We will definitely be using her again!!”

“Amanda and Laura have been a blessing since we moved to the area! We were used to leaving the girls (two dogs, one cat) with our kids, so we were super-worried we wouldn't find someone that treated them like family -- but we did! Amanda has done both drop-ins while we are at work and stayed with them in our house while we went on trips, and in both cases, we get wonderful pictures and updates on how they are doing!! Amanda and Laura also coordinate to cover when the schedule isn't perfect for one or the other, allowing them to be flexible, even when I forget to book ahead and have to do it last-minute! We (and our pets) are so glad we found them!!”

“Another excellent experience with Jessica. She helped us out a ton with our two dogs, one being an 11 week old baby dog who needs a lot of surveillance and continued training. Jessica sent us sweet pics and videos of our puppies in bliss and they were calm and happy on our return. I know our dogs are so excited and happy when they know Jessica is taking care of them! Simply the best.”


“Marissa was awesome! She listed to all my details during the meet and greet. She was communicative and responsible. She sent me regular updates. I came home to happy dogs. I’m absolutely using her again and I would recommend her!”

“Audrey was wonderful, she helped us out last minute and sent great updates about our boys for us which was so appreciated. She was respectful of our place and was so awesome to communicate with!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,105 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Livermore. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
