“This is my second time booking Sarah for house/dog sitting, and she’s great! This time I asked on pretty short notice, and she was available and accommodating to my schedule. Will definitely book again :)”
“Sarah took amazing care of my small, older dog during a 5 day trip! The frequent pictures and updates really made me feel comfortable leaving him with a house sitter for the first time. She's great at communication, is flexible and left the house is perfect condition. I'll be booking again.”
“Steph is an incredible person and I would not hesitate to have her watch our boy Bishop again!! She gave regular updates and piece of mind the whole time we were away! She left our house completely spotless and even left us the most amazing cookies to come home too! I couldn't recommend her enough. I think if Bishop could he would also say she was his new best friend! We hope to see her before we book in for our Christmas trip :)”
“Andru was amazing. He took fantastic care of my animals and kept me updated with pictures while we were away. Andru was clear in his communication, and seemed to genuinely love my animals, would definitely recommend and would love Andru to look after my animals again”
“Abby was fantastic! She came and met my pups prior to house sitting just to get acquainted. My aggressive pup absolutely loved her and she text me updates throughout the visit letting me know when she came to the house and when she left after her stay! Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!”
“Jessi did a wonderful job watching our three dogs! They each received a lot of love from her, spending lots of time playing and cuddling. She is great at communicating and sent several updates and pictures during her stay. Would highly recommend.”
“Hailey did an amazing job with our pets. She came to my house beforehand so that we could meet her in person. She sent pictures every day . Our pets seemed happy and everything was great when we returned. I will definitely use her again.”
“Sherri was so good with Hazel. I loved that she sent me several pictures a day. I felt so good having Hazel with Sherri. I have already scheduled her for our next vacation. 😊”

“Kate was flexible with our travel plans and has excellent communication skills. We felt comfortable leaving our dogs in her care and we would seek her out if we ever needed a pet sitter in Santa Fe again!”
About: i have cared for my german short-haired pointer for twelve years. i understand dogs on an intuitive level and am well adapted to high energy needs. i am working on starting my own business, so my work schedule is flexible and i maintain autonomy of the prioritization and scheduling of my time. i do not have the space to care for a pet in my apartment at this time. i am respectful of other's boundaries and personal space.
“Jessica was great with my dogs. She gave them their medicine, walked them and treated them like her own. The house was spotless just as we had left it. We will definitely be calling her again.”
“My dog Alfie seemed to have a great time with Joshua! I hired him for in house sitting while on vacation and he was a phenomenal house guest, fantastic with Alfie, and did a wonderful job of sending updates/photos and accommodating any of my requests. 10/10 would recommend going forward.”
About: I recently started my own house/pet sitting business when the veterinary clinic I worked for decided to shut down overnight boarding. I had worked for the clinic for almost 4 years and most of the regular clients absolutely loved me. I became busy quite fast, and when I finally left the clinic to work elsewhere, I took a lot of those clients with me, simply because of how well their pets know me and how well I take care of them. My primary job is a technician for a poop scooping company and I absolutely love it. I hope to blend both jobs together. I have 16 years of professional work with animals including veterinary hospitals, non profit rescues, 1 year of vet tech schooling.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Hill
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!!!
Emily was fantastic to work with. She came and met with our pups to familiarize herself with them and our home ahead of her stay. She asked great questions to ensure she was prepared and was very communicative while she was with our dogs. She was very considerate of us and our home which we very much appreciated. We will definitely work with Emily again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pleasant Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pleasant Hill on Rover is $83.25 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 554 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 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 Pleasant Hill. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
