“Kaya was amazing and took care of our senior dog last minute and did such a great job! We 100% would use her again! She kept us updated and sent pictures while we were away, which was so nice.”
“Autumn was great with our 3 (somewhat sensitive ;) pups). Great communication throughout her visit. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone trustworthy to look after your pets. Thanks Autumn!”
“Kaylin took care of our big fluffy guy for a long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier! Leo was exercised to the fullest every day and we loved all the picture updates :) our home was in perfect condition when we came home. We will definitely be using Kaylin again in the future!”
“Emily was the best sitter we could have asked for! We have several animals; both dogs and cats, some with medication needs. She didn’t hesitate when we explained everything, and was more than up to the task! Our 20 year old cat, Goober, had especially specific instructions (including IV fluids), and Emily did every step we asked for, and went above and beyond. She understood how difficult it was to leave Goober at this point in his life (end stage renal disease) and made making him as comfortable as possible at all points in time a huge priority. She communicated frequently, sent tons of pictures, and made our wedding time completely peaceful knowing everyone was taken care of. Our home was completely perfect getting back to and she left a very sweet “just married” card for us. She will be our go-to for all of our future house-sits.”
“Scarlet was great. My dog warmed up to her right away and she went above and beyond making sure he was taken care of. Lots of photos of my kiddos to keep me reassured they were cozy and happy. Thanks Scarlet!”
“Laura and Amanda were great watching my house and my pets. It was my first time using the service and I was nervous having someone I didn’t know watching my house and pets but they put me at ease and answered all my questions. My dog is dog aggressive and has some difficult quirks but they seemed to handle her with ease.”
“Amanda took great care of our dog, cats, and home while we were traveling internationally for two weeks. It was nice to have someone we could trust to keep everyone safe and happy. We would definitely rebook!”
“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 always been a dog lover, and after more than 20 years of caring for them in different capacities, I still think getting to spend time with dogs is one of the best parts of life. They have so much to teach us about love, loyalty, and living in the moment. I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for years, helping with everything from walks, feeding, and bathing to longer-term pet sitting. Because I work from home, I can spend the day with your dog, providing plenty of company, attention, walks, and playtime without leaving them alone for long stretches while you’re away. I also foster dogs through Animal Friends Alliance and have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, from puppies to older dogs recovering from major surgery. Fostering has made me even more patient, observant, and attuned to what each individual dog needs to feel safe and comfortable. I know how hard it can be to leave a beloved pet behind, so I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your dog is happy, getting lots of attention, and being cared for by someone who genuinely loves being around them. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day and love that it gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I may step out for a few hours here and there for errands or other commitments, but otherwise I’m fully available to accompany your fur kids! Whether I’m pet sitting, stopping by for a visit, or taking your dog for a walk, I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave closely. I’m attentive to safety, medications, meals, walks, playtime, and all the little things that help your pet feel comfortable and cared for. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pet to be happy and relaxed and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I love dogs! They give me purpose. Recently, my 15-year-old furbaby, Missy, crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We went on daily walks, played treat puzzles, visited shops, and enjoyed an occasional pupaccino. I miss having a dog around the home. They are so much company. I love to take them for walks, play ball, etc. I have a small fenced area for small dogs and a large fenced area for the bigger dogs. Dogs make a house a home (mine or yours). When with me, your dogs will be in caring hands! Currently, I work part-time (3 days a week and can take dogs with me). So, I have plenty of time to play, walk, board, feed, and/or check-in on your dogs. At my home, I have a small fenced in area and larger screened-in area for your dogs. Your dogs will not be left alone when outside. I will always be there to watch them. Also, your dogs are allowed to make themselves comfortable on my furniture or dogs beds. If you prefer my services at your house, I will follow your instructions.
About: Hi, I'm Joseph! I'm an experienced property and estate management professional with a background caring for luxury homes, ranch properties, and the people and animals who call them home. Throughout my career, I've been trusted with the care and security of private residences, including large Colorado ranch properties and waterfront estates in Florida. My work has involved maintaining beautiful homes and grounds, caring for animals and their surroundings, coordinating vendors, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly while owners are away. I understand that your pets aren't just pets, they're family. I believe they deserve the same attention, patience, affection, and respect that I would want for my own animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pet sitting needs wether it be last minute plans or a long term vacation. I am available for day visits, quick walks and bathroom breaks or extended overnight stays. I have over 5 years of professional experience in private staffing and service working in homes and properties for high net worth clients. Within these roles I've care for many domestic pets including feeding, exercising, grooming, and administering medicine. I grew up with dogs and cats all my love and have a natural life long affinity to animals. I treat them all with pro active attentiveness and compassion.
“Katherine did so great watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She sent updates and photos and let us know of any issues right away. She was always quick to respond. She kept everyone happy and kept the house clean when she left. Overall, an amazing job and I’d definitely ask her back.”
“Leah did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She was patient with him during the meet and greets as he got to know her, she sent lots of updates and pictures while petsitting, and she left our house very tidy! We felt very comfortable knowing that Leah was taking care of our dog while we were out of town. I would rebook Leah without hesitation, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a loving care taker for their pet!”
About: I’ve grown up with a dog all my life! I’ve assisted in his care for a good portion of that time as well. Since I was a kid I’ve been fortune enough to take care of many family members’, friends’, and neighbors’ pets! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and more! I love all animals and would love to connect and take care of yours! I do have a full time job, but I would love to take care of your pets in my spare time! I’m available all day on weekends! During the week I’m available from 5pm till 10pm! I like the most important thing is to take care of those pets that you love! I would love to assist in that and provide them with comfort, love, and care! I would love to take out pets, walk them, feed them, groom them, play with them, and just given them someone to connect with while your not available to!
“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.”
About: I’m a firm believer that pets are family, and while you’re away, I’m happy to step in as their temporary favorite auntie. Whether your dog wants adventure, belly rubs, and someone to enthusiastically admire their favorite toy, or your cat prefers to conduct a thorough background check before allowing me within six feet of them, I’m here for it! I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. I’ll take care of the practical things: feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, medications, and whatever else your pet needs. But I’m also there for the important stuff: playtime, cuddles (when invited!), enrichment, and plenty of reassuring attention. And of course, you’ll get photos and updates so you can see that your little one is happy, safe, and being at least a little spoiled. 😉 My goal is for your pets to feel like you never really left, and for you to enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. I work during the week, but I’m fortunate to have a schedule that allows me to spend time with your pets throughout the day. I’m happy to start the morning with them, stop by during my lunch break for some attention and a potty break or litter check, and come back in the evening for dinner, playtime, walks, and cuddles. On weekends, I have considerably more flexibility and love nothing more than settling in for a longer visit, a lazy afternoon, or some extra snuggle time. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home, which can be a wonderful option for pets who are happiest in their own familiar surroundings. I’ll be there for their evening routine, overnight company, and morning routine, while keeping things as close to their normal schedule as possible. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, several visits throughout the day, or a cozy overnight stay, I’m happy to find the arrangement that gives both you and your pet the most peace of mind. Your pets’ safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could help keep your pet secure, and I follow your instructions and routines closely. During visits and overnight stays, I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I have any concerns. When staying in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mindful of keeping doors locked, keeping your pets safely indoors, and leaving things clean and just as I found them. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets and your home are in thoughtful, trustworthy hands.
“Grateful Amy was available and willing to house sit with a last minute request for my two dogs. Frequent updates with photos of the pups was much appreciated knowing they were being well cared for. I would definitely book Amy again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,142 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.
<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!
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:
- 95% 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.
