“Absolutely phenomenal, dog care, with extremely personalized service and very attentive to our very hyperactive dogs needs. If you’re looking for someone who is very trustworthy to look after your your pet, I could not recommend anyone more – she was absolutely fantastic. We received photos every day, and it was very clear all the time that our dog was first priority, and being treated very well.”
“Isaiah is wonderful to have!! Was very communicative while we gone. Gave great updates and sent pictures! Our Willow loved him! He took her for walks. He also put all the bedding, towels and rugs he used in the washing machine. Incredible! House was immaculate when we got home. Will definitely use him again!!”
“Tracy was a great!! My dogs absolutely loved her, they seemed absolutely calm and happy when we walked thru the door, which is the ultimate test! She was quick at responding and very professional efficient and friendly! I’ll be using her services again! Diane”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
“Erica was an amazing dogsitter for my 2 pups! She was super communicative and kept in touch the whole time with messages and photos. She took extra care with my more tricky and shy pup, which I greatly appreciated. It was so nice knowing they were in great hands! Would definitely recommend!”
“Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.”
“Erika was fantastic with the dogs and excellent with communication. We felt at ease the whole time she was with the pups and she left the home spotless. Can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Rita had been great, super quick to respond and kept sending us updates with pictures/videos. Bissli got lots of love and attention and told us he would love to have her back again ?, highly recommended.”
“Rebecca stayed with our elderly dog and we can tell she was very well taken care of. I appreciated her updates and photos would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
“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!”
“Halona was a fantastic house- and pet-sitter for us. Her communication was prompt and clear, she went above and beyond our expectations in terms of making sure the animals were well cared for from the time we left until our return, and she genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with the animals and getting to know them. The house was spotless upon our return, and the fresh flowers and note were a nice touch. I'm so happy to have found Halona to take care of our home and pets while we are away!”
“Brenna was amazing. She came last minute (we had another Rover who got sick and has to cancel) and was perfect for our very new, very sweet, very anxious about people and separating from her people pup (15 lb chihuahua terrier mix). Brenna knew just how to be around our anxious dog, and our dog warmed up to her quickly. Our dog let Brenna hold her and cuddle her and even take her outside a few times while we were gone - nothing short of a miracle with this pup. I will be going back to Brenna again as often as needed!”
About: I grew up with animals all my life. From cats and dogs to parrots, mice, sugar gliders etc. I own 2 dogs myself and love them with all my heart. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and ages. I fostered and volunteered at several shelters throughout my life. I love animals and will make sure to take care of yours like my own. I have a flexible schedule and own a vehicle which makes same day bookings a breeze. If you ever need someone to help I’m there :) My dogs are spoiled and loved. I keep them safe and healthy. I would do my best to take care of your pets like you want me to.
“Danielle was so attentive and caring for Chase! She was kind and respectful, checking in throughout the weekend. She even went above and beyond by taking care of our Christmas tree. Thank you, Danielle!”
“Liz was amazing! She stayed in our home with our dog for a week and our pup was very happy :) Liz played with her on a daily basis, made sure she ate and got her exercise and always kept in contact with me with updates and pictures. We plan to use her in the future!”
“Candi took care of our two cats for the first time recently. I could definitely tell she wanted to provide daily enrichment and a quality experience for my furry guys 🙏 Much appreciated”

Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.

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.
I was very grateful to have found Elizabeth on Rover! She housesat for us and took care of our three cats. One of them suffered a health issue right before we had to go away and Elizabeth went above and beyond to provide excellent care for him including administration of multiple meds. She kept me well informed the entire time. Our other cats benefitted from her caring attenton as well. She also took excellent care of our home. I would absolutely book her again and I know my kitties would be happy to have her back!
Rebecca has been caring for Mikko and Kona for a year and a half now. She is truly the best! She takes great care of them, and has even had to take Mikko to the vet with an emergency and did fantastic caring for him! She is a great communicator and loves Mikko and Kona very much!
Trinity is the best! She takes her job seriously, and Milo adored her! He’s normally hi anxiety when we are gone, yet he seemed quite calm and happy. Trinity took lots of photos and some videos too!….kept us up to date! Will def use her again! Thanks Trinity! Milo says “any time!” Diane and Jocelyn
Aida stayed at our home and cared for our dog and cat for 10 days while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and proactive throughout our trip. She sent updates and photos every day. When we returned home, everything was spotless, and it was clear that Aida had taken excellent care of both our pets and our home. In fact, our pets weren’t quite as excited to see us as they usually are when we get back from a trip. We take that as a great sign that they had been happy and receiving plenty of attention while we were away! We’d recommend Aida to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again for future trips.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pacheco on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,058 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 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 Pacheco. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
