“Rachel took great care of our dog! She watched him for 4 nights and she sent a lot of photos to keep us updated. She spent a lot of time with him and made sure he was well taken care of!”
“Simone took excellent care of Leo while we were away giving him all the love and attention he could possibly need. She provided updates throughout and lots of pictures and videos too.”
“Jessi was wonderful! She responded to messages quickly. She was prompt when arriving. She interacted with Buddy immediately by petting and playing. She was thorough obtaining information about food and care. She sent pictures frequently. We were extremely happy to have Jessi stay with Buddy.”
“Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!”
About: Hello everyone! I am a work from home mom and two dogs of my own. I’ve been a massive animal lover my whole life, and there’s truly nothing I enjoy more than hanging out with animals. Whether your dog needs a high-energy buddy for walks or a calm companion to cuddle with during a house sit, I’m your person. I get that leaving your pet can feel a little stressful, so my main goal is to make sure they feel totally safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m big on communication, so you can always count on plenty of cute photo and video updates to show you how much fun we're having! I am currently a stay at home mom to three kiddos and two fur babies. My dogs go out first thing even before my coffee. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time each day to walks, outdoor time, and exercise for your fur baby. I have two fur babies, one is good combination of spunky and old, our other is handicap so I have experience with older dogs also
“Lauren was great! She stayed with our boy for 5 days while we were in Florida. We recieved tons of photos and updates about his eating habits. She took him on walks and gave him lots of love. Charlie can be a handful sometimes and we are so happy that we chose lauren and came home to a happy and healthy boy.”

“Laura was so wonderful with Boca ? my flights were delayed & she even stayed for a late night walk to make sure Boca would be good until I got home !! Thank you Laura for taking the best care of Boca !!!!”
“Beth was awesome! She sent us pictures and updates throughout the entire time and I knew she knew our fur babies preferences based on what she said and the pictures she sent! I could tell our babes warmed up to her quickly. She was also super flexible when we had to change the day she came within just hours because of a change in our trip and was so understanding and flexible. They also washed and changed the sheets before they left so we didn’t have to come back to it. We know our dogs are looking forward to Beth’s next visit!”
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.
About: I've cared for various dogs and cats since I was a kid, small mammals since I was a teen, and reptiles the last few years. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet while you're away. I'll gladly throw a toy or be a warm lap for your pet to enjoy! I'll adhere to your requirements and do my best to ensure your pets are as happy and unstressed as they can be while they wait for their humans to return.
“She took care of my boys (one geriatric and one that’s basically a teenager) and did a great job with both! She even cleaned and mopped when my older man had accidents and went out of her way to buy and give them treats. :)”
“Tyler was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and cat He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cared about them and took great care of their needs. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book with Tyler again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾❤️”
About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available almost every day with a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Happy to work around your preferred drop-off, pick-up, walking, or sitting times. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a caring, clean, and secure environment with plenty of attention and supervision.
About: My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog "Griffey" and cat "Miss Kitty", along with pets belonging to friends and family. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or a calm presence, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease. I joined Rover because I miss having my dog in my everyday life. He is currently staying with my parents back home in north-central Kansas. My dad’s health isn’t the best, and my dog brings him a great deal of comfort, so I know he is where he needs to be for now. I return home about once a month to visit them. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Best Shawn Phelps I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can often accommodate short-notice requests and easily work around your pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I will follow each pet’s normal routine, carefully secure doors and gates, respect the client’s home, and provide regular updates and photos. I have a friendly cat at home who gets along well with dogs but prefers not to be around other cats. Because of that, I would care for cats in their own homes but may welcome dogs into mine after a meet-and-greet. I’m flexible and always willing to discuss the safest arrangement for each pet.
“This was our 1st experience using Rover. Kayla quickly responded to our request and set up a meet and great. Kayla was timely and attentive to our pets needs. She stayed in our home and left it in pristine condition. She sent daily updates with pictures. Thank you, Kayla we will definitely use her help in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Hill
Perfection! Abby moved into our home for a two week stay with our two dogs and one cat…all very high maintenance! She handled our detailed instructions with grace and ease. Communication was spot on with lots of texts and photos. Abby went above and beyond when we had a minor health issue with one of the dogs. She was happily willing to make a vet visit if needed and that gave us a lot of reassurance that our pets were in the best hands!
Simone took such great care of our dogs and home! She was extremely attentive to their needs and made sure they had everything they needed during their time together. She also kept us up to date the whole time. Our dogs loved her and can’t wait until we go out of town again so they can hangout with their favorite sitter!
Jordan was wonderful with Maggie! She took the greeting like a champ, unbothered by Maggie's psycho "LOOOOVEEE MEEEEE" attitude and jumping. She was also great with my chattery overview of the house, the dog, all the things. When I got back home, Maggie was chilled out and happy, and that is all I can ask for! Jordan is definitely going to be invited back. She is new to Rover, but it's obvious that she is very much a pro with animals!! I will recommend her over and over!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pleasant Hill is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $99 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 535 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pleasant Hill. 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 Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill 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.

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.
