“Destiny and Treonna did a fantastic job taking care of our pup Nova as well as the house. We got a bunch of pictures updates during the busy holiday time which we greatly appreciated. Nova was left in great hands and we will be using them going forward given the opportunity!”
“Rita was so great with my dog Billy! I could tell from the moment she came over that she has a natural way with animals and such a patient, calming disposition, which was especially great for Billy, who can be a little particular. She jumped right in, took him on a walk, and really made it a priority to help him feel comfortable with her. On top of that, she was incredibly communicative, flexible, and just an all-around wonderful house sitter. I felt so good knowing Billy was in her care and would absolutely work with Rita again!”
“I can’t say enough about how great Kasey was watching over my 2 rambunctious kittens, but also my apartment. The place was super clean when I returned, maybe even more clean than how I left it. She was extremely responsive and gave me bi-daily updates with photos and videos of how they were doing. She played with them, cuddled with them, and genuinely enjoyed their company. And my kittens absolutely loved her. I felt so at ease being out of town. 10/10 I would hire her again to watch my cats and apartment. Thank you Kasey!”
“David and Mabel took excellent care of our 2 year old lab. It was great knowing our puppy was comfortable at home with professional and thoughtful care. They understand dogs, how to care for them and the importance of communicating with the pet parents. Our home was left cleaner than when we left, which we greatly appreciated! We will definitely continue to use them when we are away!”
About: I have a vast experience of pet sitting dogs a variety of dogs and cats. Dogs breeds as small as Pomeranians to as large as an Australian Sheppards. I am an avid dog walker as well, and truly enjoy taking pets on a stroll for some activity and sunshine!! I can play fetch all day with pets or keep them occupied until they’re ready to rest. Whatever is needed, I can handle it!! I’ve I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule can be flexible depending on the week. I’m available during the weekdays and weekend. Occasionally I host open houses on the weekend, but only for 2-3 hours max. I typically watch over pets in the owners’ homes. During that time watching over pets, I make sure to keep any doors locked, unless I’m with them outside or in the backyard. I will have a leash with me or use one provided by pet owner for any walks. I make sure to double check that the water bowl is filled at all times. And I always keep the pets in my site, so I can monitor their activity and overall behavior.
About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages and personalities. I have several years of dog training experience, which helps me understand canine behavior, reinforce good habits, and create positive experiences during walks and visits. I am also experienced in caring for senior dogs and understand the patience, attentiveness, and gentle handling they need to stay comfortable and happy. As a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like family. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I am available for boarding, dog walking, and training 7 days a week. As a dog owner and experienced dog trainer, I'm accustomed to structuring my day around walks, exercise, training, enrichment, and ensuring dogs receive the attention they need. Caring for pets isn't something I squeeze into my schedule, it's something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, consistent care while giving each pet individualized attention. I have a secure, fenced yard for supervised play, can crate your dog if needed, and provide plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. In your home, I respect your pet's schedule and provide consistent care, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection.
About: We always had pets while I was growing up, mostly dogs and cats. I first adopted a dog on my own when I was in my early 20s, a beautiful chocolate lab named Riley. When I got engaged to be married, we rescued a small dog, Niko - our first baby. Niko sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of 17. She is greatly missed. In more recent years we brought Huckleberry into the family as a small puppy. He is a wonderful Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. He was Niko's best friends. We have always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, rats, etc. I am recently divorced and missing being around Huckleberry every day, and I would love to meet your beloved pet and would enjoy a check-in or a walk. I am currently doing consulting for a variety of companies in the medical technology space, providing me plenty of time to hang out with your dogs. Weekend days are the most wide-open, but during the week I also have plenty of time each day. I cannot host pets in my home and am available to drop-in and pick up dogs for walks from a client's home. Any care during a check-in or walk would be through gentle care and support, and hopefully some fun for all. I will talk with the client about any specific needs and requests.
“Christine is truly wonderful! Whenever I come home, my dogs are relaxed and happy, which I believe is thanks to her caring attention while I'm away. She always keeps me in the loop, which I really appreciate. Thanks so much, Christine!!”
“Haniya took care of our 2 kitties and pup overnight. She was very communicative, sending photos and updates and quick to text back when we reached out. Haniya was great managing all 3 of the pets and their needs, including giving insulin and oral medicine to one of our kitties and a pill to our pup. We came home to happy animals and a clean home!”
“Hong was wonderful with our puppy. She kept us up to date with frequent pictures and was so kind and loving to him. He really enjoyed having her care for him and was extremely happy the whole time. I highly recommend her if you are looking for the best care for your pet.”
About: I’ve owned pets since I was a kid. My family has always been big dog family, but I’ve also taken care of many cats. I would love to have a pet of my own, but as a college student it is just not possible. Please reach out if you’re looking for help! I am mostly available on weekends because I have to juggle classes and my day job. But depending on your schedule I am more than willing to try to make something work! I love to walk/run with dogs and the area I am in is incredibly safe for a nice jog! I’m here for your pet’s ultimate safety and enjoyment so I try to make the most out of our time together!
“Tim is amazing! Would rebook him anytime. Super detailed about care and directions, great updates and just overall made me feel at ease about leaving Louie, who has some senior special needs, in his care. It’s hard to find people that are as kind and thoughtful about your pet and home, but Tim is that person. Thank you so much.”
“Irina was prompt and responsive. She was attentive to the detailed instructions for my 17-year-old pup and executed them kindly and thoroughly. She sent pictures and updates. Reliable with heart!”
“Alexis is a fantastic dog sitter!! She stayed with our golden retriever for 8 days while we were out of town. Throughout the week, she was communicative, sending pics every day and detailing what they had done together (walks, balls, toys). At the end of the week, she left a detailed note to highlight anything else we needed to know. I so appreciated the level of detail she provided and the clear care she put into taking care of our dog. He’s a part of our family and I’ve never trusted anyone but family with him. We’ll now trust Alexis with him every time! Highly recommend her if you are looking for a communicative, responsible, compassionate dog sitter who will treat your dog like their own.”
“Christina was a wonderful care taker for our pets and house. She provided timely updates and communications. The pets where very happy and well cared for when we got home. I could not recommend her enough for anyones furry friends.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Linett!! Linett is so loving with our two dogs and we were relaxed on vacation knowing that she was taking care of them and our house. Linett is an excellent communicator, highly professional -- and an obvious animal lover :). She took care of every detail and sent amazing photos and videos so we knew exactly how things were going. Our dogs clearly had a very fun time. We are looking forward to having her house sit next time we are away.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Isabella! She came to our home to watch our German Shepherd and did a fantastic job. German Shepherds can require a little extra attention and care, and we really appreciated how comfortable and well cared for our dog was. It gave us peace of mind knowing our fur baby was in good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

Carrie was absolutely amazing with Watson! ❤️ He’s recovering from a back injury, so I was nervous about leaving him, but he instantly loved her and felt completely at ease. Carrie is so warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, and she was always timely and reliable. She gave Watson so much love and TLC, followed all of his care instructions, and kept me updated throughout her stay, including the behaviors and medication side effects I was tracking. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Watson was in such caring, attentive hands. I’m so grateful and would absolutely have her care for Watson again!
Davina and her family were excellent caregivers for Cloud and Princess. Davina was great communicating with us while we were gone. Our home looks just as it did when we left, except better because she brought in packages that had been delivered by Amazon and placed the mail on the kitchen table. We could tell that our dogs had been fed, walked, and loved in our absence, because they were happy to see us when we came home, but not needy. We hope they can do all of our dog sitting in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Moraga is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $92 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Moraga 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 Moraga 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 Moraga 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 Moraga. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
