About: I have house sit, along with taken care of cats and dogs at the same time! I enjoy walking dogs especially since it makes dogs super happy! I just moved to Moraga, since I am playing for the Saint Mary’s Volleyball team. We have trainings Monday-Friday, so my hours will vary but we do have a lot of off time. So just communicating what’s best for your schedule!! I have a gated off backyard, we do however have a pool. But the pet will always be watched over with care! So no worries there.
About: I have had and cared for pets since childhood, rescuing (literally from the streets) a lovely pitbull named Olive when I lived in Philadelphia. Moved to CA in May 2026 from East Coast. I recently moved to CA to support my wife’s new job in SF. I have a fully open schedule at the moment and with a love of animals I thought that this would be a better way to learn and love my new community than digging through online job ads. I am willing to sit, play, walk, feed and care for your pets as needed. I’m an active (formerly collegiate) runner and can go as fast or slowly as your pet needs. I have reliable transportation and experience in pet first aid as I recently completed my tenure as an Emergency Manager with the American Red Cross.
About: I have had three pets before: one cat and two dogs. I took great care of them. One of my poodle dogs lived to be 17 years old. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Every day, I make sure to feed my pets, take them for walks, and provide them with playtime and attention to keep them active and happy. I also spend time grooming them and ensuring they have a clean and comfortable living space. On a weekly basis, I focus on tasks like deep cleaning their areas, scheduling vet visits if needed, and monitoring their overall health and behavior. Pet care is woven into my routine, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve. In both my home and my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets. First, I ensure the area is pet-proofed, removing any potential hazards. I provide a safe, quiet space for pets to rest, with all their necessities like food, water, and bedding easily accessible. I maintain a regular routine for feeding, playtime, and exercise, which helps pets feel secure and comfortable. Trust is key, so I build a strong relationship with the pets by being consistent, patient, and attentive to their individual needs. I also ensure their environment is clean, calm, and enriching, with plenty of toys and mental stimulation to keep them engaged.
“My chihuahua and sisters German shepherd/black lab mix loved having Angelique stay with them during our weekend away. Angelique was so kind to do a visit ahead of time, was very communicative, and organized her schedule around our dogs. My dog loves to cuddle and definitely got all of the love from Angelique. We’d love to have her back to stay at our place with cooper in the future.”
“Vicki did a phenomenal job taking care of our boy Mylo. Mylo had to get some emergency stitches the day before we were going out of town. Vicki handled his care perfectly, sent us regular updates and dealt with all the drama that comes with Mylo having to wear a cone. We cannot thank her enough and absolutely would recommend her to everyone else.”
“Azar was a great house and dog sitter. She followed all of my instructions with Pearl and sent plenty of updates. She also did alot of activities with my dog and I felt that Pearl was being very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Azar to anyone who needs pet sitting in the future :)”
“Christine was wonderful and kept me informed with everything that was going on at my house. When I got home, the dogs were calm, which to me is a good sign of a caring sitter.”
“Left our house in great shape and our dog, Fiona, was clearly well taken care of. They are communicative, friendly, and accommodating. We will definitely hire them again!”
About: Hey everyone!🐾 My name is Niveya and I’m currently a graduate student and basketball player at Saint Mary’s College, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two cats (a tortie and a domestic longhair) and several dogs (from poodles to pitbulls) over the years, so caring for both cats and dogs has always been a part of my life. Growing up, I also volunteered at local dog shelters, which taught me that every animal has a different personality. Some are energetic and playful, while others just need a little patience and time to feel comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and I’ve found that animals usually warm up to me because I stay calm and let them adjust at their own pace. Being a student-athlete has made responsibility, reliability, and consistency a huge part of my everyday life. Between balancing graduate school and basketball, I’ve learned how important it is to be dependable and communicate well. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or just sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because of my basketball schedule, I’m typically on campus during weekday mornings and parts of the afternoon, but I’m available throughout the late afternoons, evenings, and all weekend. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos (if you’d like!) so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands😊 I am a student-athlete at Saint Mary’s College, so I am on campus in the mornings and some afternoons for basketball workouts. I keep a structured and dependable routine, which makes me very organized when it comes to caring for pets. I have workouts in some early afternoons but I’m available throughout the late afternoons, evenings, and off all weekends for walks and playtime. I make sure every pet gets regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of love while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible! I live in a pet-friendly and fenced-in apartment where I only host up to two pets at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of individual attention. If your pet likes to socialize, I have a roommate and teammates that are pet lovers as well! I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, regular updates with photos (if you want them!) and lots of affection to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Alisa took excellent care of our doggies. She communicated well with me while I was traveling with texts and pictures, and the house was in great shape when I returned. She realized that our younger terrier needed more exercise than our old Golden and added a solo walk for him to the schedule. Her connection with both dogs impressed a friend that came by to check on the cats. I am very pleased with Alisa as a pet/house sitter. I'm looking forward to having her again.”
“Michelle was absolutely fabulous! She was able to watch my two dogs on very short notice while I was in Oakland to visit family. My dogs loved her! She took great care of them, taking them on multiple walks throughout the day and providing attention when needed. She we be the first person I reach out to when I am in the Oakland area again. Thank you Michelle!”
“Nicole was fantastic. She took care of our senior dog and two cats and all three were doing great when we returned. She took time and care with each animal, especially with our skittish cat who is very frightened of new people. Our house looked fantastic when we returned, Nicole had even changed the sheets and washed her towels! And she stayed in constant communication with us, sending pictures all the time. We highly recommend Nicole and will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or keeping a routine, I provide dependable, compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I believe consistency is important, so I communicate clearly and keep pet parents updated throughout every visit Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home while following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I closely supervise pets and send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Natasha! She spent the week with my cat while I was on vacation, and sent me updates throughout the week which was reassuring. She even cleaned up before leaving, which was wonderful! I highly recommend Natasha :)”
“Mia was great. Not only did the pups love her but we did too. She provided constant updates and made us feel very comfortable knowing the dogs were being well taken care of. I will 100% be using Mia again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Moraga
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 for House Sitting in Moraga on Rover is $55.5 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 8,891 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Moraga. 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 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 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 Moraga. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
