“Virginia was a lifesaver! We needed a dog/house sitter last minute, and she gladly accepted without hesitation. She even showed up at 5 AM when we were panicking about our puppy Chico barking and the neighbors possibly complaining. That alone already meant so much to us. She took such great care of Chico, played with him, kept him entertained, and he genuinely seemed to have an amazing time with her. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which says everything about how thoughtful and responsible she is. We’re super grateful for her help and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommended! 💛🐾”
“This was our second time having Isaiah housesit for us. He was very attentive to our dog, leopard gecko, and hermit crab, and I trust him to take good care of our pets and our house while we're gone.”
“Amanda did a great job caring for my two old ladies and taking care of my home. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept in touch while I was away, kept my plants alive, left my house clean, and my girls were happy!”
About: Ever since I was born, I’ve grown up with dogs of all kinds and have always loved being around them. I’ve naturally become the go-to dog watcher and walker for my extended family and friends, and I love spending time with man’s best friend! I’m a very active person who enjoys hiking, running, and going on long walks, and I’d love to bring some more four-legged friends along for the adventure. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available throughout the day. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! 🐾 I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout most of the day. I can easily work walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active with hikes, runs, and long walks, and I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal schedule as much as possible! Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment and respect your home and your dog’s routine. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and care, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pup is in good hands. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my priority!
“Our puppers love Rachael! We've had her stay with them multiple times and they are always excited to see her and well taken care of. Our dogs can be challenging goofs, but Rachael seems to see the humor in their quirks like we do. She's our go-to sitter!”
“Jimena did a great job with my sweet but neurotic cats (and their neurotic owner)! I was nervous about going out of town because the cats had recently been demonstrating some changes in appetite. Jimena sent lots of pictures, which helped ease my mind, and she was vigilant in reporting back to me about the cats’ meals and bathroom habits. My shy kitty also seemed to warm up to Jimena quicker than she usually does with new people!”
“Jasmin was a wonderful caretaker for our two dogs while we were away. She kept us informed, sending frequent photos. She’s great at communicating, before, during, and after this day. We will definitely be calling her again.”
“Rocky absolutely loved hanging out with Carrie. He got to meet Carrie's dog too! He had a great time. Carrie was absolutely wonderful for the entire time. She took great care of Rocky. She even went the extra long mile of cleaning our living area before we got home so we had less to do after our trip! Thanks Carrie!!”
“Vivian was wonderful with my two young cats. She made my first trip away from my kitties easy and she was so attentive to their care. I had such peace of mind while I was away knowing she was so great with animals.”
“Candi was above and beyond what I could’ve hoped for in a care taker for my pets. My dogs both loved her instantly. I felt comfortable leaving them with her as soon as I met her. I expected her to be amazing. She went way above my expectations. She genuinely loved my dogs and tested them as if they were her own. She was very easy to contact and she sent me pics everyday. She took great care of my cat too. She truly put my mind at ease and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation. I can’t recommend her more highly or say enough good things about her. I feel like I hit the lottery in pet sitters. She will love your pets like her own and put your mind at ease. She is amazing in every way.”
“Jovelle always takes the best care of my pets and they are so happy when she is here. I get lots of updates and great photos and everything is tidy and just as I left it when I get home.”
“Our dog and cat both loved Aleksandra so much! You could tell they felt very comfortable with her, and when she came to return our key after our trip, they both ran to the door and were so excited to see her. It really showed how much they enjoyed having her care for them while we were away. Aleksandra kept us updated every day with photos and messages, took care of cleaning up when our dog had some accidents while we were away, and left the house clean and tidy for us when we returned. She also helped us out with an extra visit when our flights home were significantly delayed so our pets didn’t have to wait for us to get home to be fed and let out. We really appreciated how sweet and caring she was with both of them and are very thankful for all of her help while we were away!”
“We had an amazing experience with Efraim over the holidays. He took exceptional care of our dogs, fish, turtle, and even our Christmas tree, and left our home absolutely spotless. It was clear how loving and attentive he was with our pets, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Efraim is incredibly trustworthy, professional, and truly wonderful with animals. We will absolutely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best pet care!!!”
“Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Maire is a wonderful person. She did an amazing job. My dog is a rescue, somewhat quiet and reserved yet Maire was able to make her feel safe, secure and happy to the point were they hung out together. Maire took her for walks and my dog obviously loves her. I will definitely use her again.”
“Danielle arrived on time, even with a 6AM request! Our Bailey Rose loves her. She even got her a new toy, which she destroyed same day! So grateful for Danielle. Will use her again and again.”

Huda , what more can I say . Huda was the most caring and attentive sitter for my fur babies . We’ve never had much success with strangers coming into our home , with Huda they were relaxed and settled . Huda went above and beyond to care for them . Taking extra care for one of our cats who is dealing with some appetite issues . She knew exactly what he needed and cared for him . I returned to a home of relaxed happy kitties .
Monica is absolutely wonderful. She took care of our dog and house while we were away last week, and we came back to a perfect house and a happy dog. Monica takes very special care of our 16 year old dog. She spends lots of time with her, cuddles with her, takes her along on errands and outings, plays with her and showers her with love and attention. Additionally, She checks in often, asks questions when needed and sends lots of pictures. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
Teagan is an awesome sitter. I’m out of the country and she took care of my challenging but sweet pittie with grace and made me feel so comfortable with leaving her. She also dropped her off to her other sitter with no problems. Highly recommend and will be using her again.
Hosana took excellent care of my two high-energy dogs (one of which is extra, extra high-energy). Really appreciated her updates and excellent, proactive communication. She stayed at our house and took great care. We very much appreciate her and look forward to using her services again!
Gheeta was very thoughtful throughout this experience by keeping me up to date sending photos and asking questions appropriately when needed. She really dotted over my cat and showed lots of concern for his wellbeing . She also took really good care of the plants and cleaned up nicely so everything was on its place when I came home. Thanks Gheeta !!! I will ask you back soon
Mia watched our pup for 2.5 weeks. Our pup has a back condition so I was nervous to leave him, but she was great with him and following our instructions. I also got to meet her boyfriend and sister before we went on our trip and felt very comfortable with everyone. It was nice that she got to come a few days before we left so we could go over all the instructions. She was also flexible on her departure time when we thought we were going to miss our flight and come home late. Our house was clean and in great condition when we got home. Thanks Mia! We'd definitely recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pacheco is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $97 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.
As of November 2026, there are 7,901 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pacheco. 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 Pacheco 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 Pacheco 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 Pacheco 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 Pacheco. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
