“Booking Coralie to watch our cat, dog and house while away was a great decision! She stayed 4 nights in our home with our pets, we received multiple updates and pictures everyday we were gone. She even took our doodle for a nice long weekend hike with her own pup, they got along great and I know he had a blast! We never once felt concerned or worried, we knew they were in great hands. Coralie left our home tidy and clean, the dog was well exercised/loved and even the cat warmed up to her. We will definitely be booking Coralie again for our future pet sitting needs!”
About: I was raised in a home with many pets, which has taught me a lot about how to responsibly and lovingly care for many types of animals. I am a current student, so I am available most of the time until October. June and July I will be busy during most weekdays for a volunteer program, but weekends are open!! August and September weekdays and weekends work for me. I believe that communication is key for understanding and creating a respectful and caring environment for each pet. I’m excited to talk with you and get to know the specific needs of your animals.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets and currently work in veterinary medicine, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, puppies, kittens and senior pets, and I’m experienced with administering medications, feeding routines, and recognizing signs of illness. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work full time during the day, but I’m most available in the evenings throughout the week and all day on weekends. During the time I’m with your pet, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love having company. I always introduce pets slowly and supervise playtime. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and can crate if needed. With my veterinary medicine experience, I’m also comfortable recognizing health concerns and administering medications if required.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has owned both large and small dogs throughout my life. I’m offering pet sitting services for anyone who needs help for a few days each week, weekends, or even longer stays while you’re away. I have three children (ages 7, 5, and 3) who are gentle and accustomed to being around animals, as well as a small kitten in our home. Your pets will receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re gone. Whether you’re planning a vacation, business trip, or just need temporary help, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members will be well cared for in a safe and welcoming environment. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more. I look forward to helping you and your pets! 🐾 My hand is fenced with the next size backyard plus behind the house. We do have a pathway where we could take long walks in the morning and on the hot days they have the backyard. We typically stay home. We don’t venture out as much so I’m here to help you enjoy your vacation while you take your time away where your fur babies will be taken care of.

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.
“José was absolutely amazing. We’re truly so grateful for the care he gave our dog and cat. He communicated consistently with daily updates, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we arrived home, both Latte and Arty were clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. We did house sitting, and the house was left spotless. José made us feel comfortable and confident the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily recommend him to anyone!”

“Jesse was kind, organized, communicated with us while we were away...and the dogs took to him immediately. He has a great energy and we hope to be able to have him watch our girls again! Zero complaints. All praise.”

About: Ever since I was little I had always animals near me whether that be dogs, cats or even farm animals, I knew/know how to take care of them! I love teaching dogs treats, my fav ones are speak and play dead!! I’m currently working part-time as a server, so when I get off around 2/3 I will have plenty of time to run and play or even cuddle with your pets! My attention will always be your pet at times to ensure their safety and well being in my care! I will always message you if I notice something off and even a quick picture of what we’re doing!:)

“Angelica was absolutely amazing to our sweet boy. She constantly kept me updated and sent pictures of our happy boy. Could not recommend her enough! We will be using her for all our future pet sitting needs. ☺️🤍”

About: My husband and I share a deep love for dogs and treat them like family. Your pup would receive our full attention, affection, and care. We're both active and love going on walks—if that's their thing—but we're just as happy to spend time relaxing and cuddling indoors. We're attentive to each dog’s unique needs and are experienced with giving medications and following special diets, as our own dog has a few of his own. We both have the flexibility to work from home, so we can spend extra time with your pet while you're away. I love sending photos updates and will treat your dog as if it's mine. I don't watch dogs from multiple owners at once - your dog will be the center of our world while they're here! If you're looking for a safe, loving space and for your dog to receive excellent care, I am your Rover sitter! Check out our gallery to see photos of Watson (our dachshund) and the pups we've looked after in the past! I work full time, but work from home some days and have some flexibility with my schedule. Weekend days are best as we're both home all the time, but we can also help on weekdays. My husband works later and usually leaves for work in the afternoon and I get home a few hours after he leaves, so there isn't a long gap where our dog is alone. I have a fenced yard and a dachshund that is friendly and chill. Our neighborhood is very safe, your dog wouldn't ever go outside unless leashed.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.

About: I’ve always wanted a dog as a kid but my parents did not want to take care of it. Now that I’m an adult I love taking care of my dog, coco. He is a large dog and very active. He enjoys walking, playing, and getting belly rubs. I would do the same to the dogs I take care of as if it was my own. I also took care of 4 small dogs at a time for 5 years. Training, playing, feeding, and walking. I’m currently have a full time job so my availability will be right after 5pm. During weekends I’m usually available. Occasionally I have family events, but I can accommodate. I always check up on my dogs when I get home. I have an automated feeder and I created a dog door for them to come and go as they please. During the night I usually have them go into their homes to rest. But usually they free roam.
About: I have worked around dogs as a K-9 Handler professionally so I have plenty of experience with animal care. I have owned many dogs and took care of them all myself. I've worked as a K-9 handler and have taken care of many types of animals, I am available 7 days a week 6am-7:30am or 3pm-10pm I have a large property fenced off and kennels if you need your dog kenneled. I am a very cautious person when it comes to animals so I take everything into consideration.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for most of my life and have more than 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I always try to make them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work a full-time schedule during the week 7am-4pm, but pet care easily fits into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. I’m available before and after work (5:30am-6am and 5pm to 8pm), on weekends (full availability), and for drop-in visits throughout the week. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I always follow the instructions provided by owners and pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and needs. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to make sure your pet stays safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.
“I was very pleased with the service Errol provided. This was my first time leaving my pet with someone besides family, and also having them in my home while away. Errol made me feel at ease and provided excellent care to my senior dog. I will definitely book with him again!”

About: Throughout high school and college, I often helped out friends and neighbors by dog sitting when they couldn't take their pets on trips. I’m a huge dog lover, and I really adore all kinds of pets. Over the years, I've earned the complete trust of my friends and neighbors when it comes to looking after their pets and homes. They know they can count on me to provide loving care and ensure everything is safe and sound while they're away. I am currently working at a mental health facility. I work 3:00 pm Sun-Wed. Although I am full time I am always happy to lean a hand. Free on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays as well. I am also willing to Sundays off! I was born and raised in the Central Valley. Growing up on a farm made me exposed to many animals and I grew immense love for them. I had a wonderful time taking care of my beloved pets: a Labrador, German Shepherd, Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua. They were all my babies, and I also had a horse that I adored. I'm a huge animal lover, and I miss them every day now that they are living with my older sister.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Livingston
We had an out of town concert planned for months and a week before the concert we unexpectedly adopted a dog. We reached out to everyone we knew who had dog sat for us with previous dogs, and not a single person was available. I decided to give Rover a shot and April was the first person I contacted. She immediately agreed to watch our new pup. Our new pup was still in an adjustment phase of not being in the shelter and we were all still getting used to each other's personalities. April had no problem stepping in and staying with our guy overnight. She sent us updates, and pictures and treated our boy like he was her own. April was fantastic and I would definitely use her again in the future.

April housesat for me for five days with my two Weimaraners. They are nervous around new people, but they warmed up to April quickly. April was diligent about contact, keeping me updated and letting me know when anything came up with the dogs. When I returned from vacation, the dogs were happy and healthy, and the house was tidy. I will absolutely be booking with April again when I go on my next trip or if I need drop-in visits on long work days. She is friendly, kind, and communicative.

FAQs for House Sitting - Livingston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Livingston on Rover is $65.77 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 326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Livingston. 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 Livingston 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 Livingston 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 Livingston 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 Livingston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
