“Saige did a great job taking care of our pup. It felt good knowing she was watching our house while we traveled. Our dog felt loved and cared for, our house was tidy after she had left, and it was over all a great experience!”
“Rachel was so helpful in so many ways. Even with bad weather and an extended trip, she was always positive and communicated often. She cared for our elderly Basset Hound, our ornery-but-lovable puppy and a cat who prefers to stay away from the canines. We have a full house of pets and it was such a relief to know they were in good hands during our trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. They are my passion. I have watched family and friends pets from all ages and species. Im currently a part time college student, and I have 2 pets of my own. I have an extremely flexible schedule, since my classes are online. I love going for long walks and building trust with animals! I also love to just keep animals company so they’re comfortable while their parents are away!!
“Kristy was excellent! She took great care of our animals and our home while we were out of town. We were especially impressed with how she handled our dog, Sirius, who has a lot of anxiety around people he doesn't know. He completely warmed up to her within the first day or so, and all of our animals loved her. I 100% recommend Kristy and we will definitely be having her dog sit again in the future!”
“This is the third time we’ve had Pamela stay with our pups. I can’t say enough good things about her. Our fur babies are always cared for as if they belong to her, and she leaves our house in excellent condition!”
About: I have professional work experience taking care of clients’ animals! I have worked with pets of all kinds, and I always love meeting new animals! I am a full time student, but my classwork is fully online. Over the summer, I will have lots of free time to dedicate to caring for pets! I know exactly how important pets are to their families, and I am dedicated to providing the same level of care I would for my own pets. I want to make sure all pets are able to get the care and love they deserve!
“She was amazing. Our trip came at not the best time for our pets. We had just blended our families and our pets were still getting use to each other. She was able to help them become friends and learn to live with each other. She sent pictures every day and they were all very happy. I highly recommend her and will use her again”
“Martie was amazing! It was our first time being away so long and having someone house sit and care for our elderly dog and energetic cat. We received so many pictures, and so many good ones! She put our mind at ease. And she was so responsive with communication. Should we need this service again there is no doubt we would want her!”
“This is the second time we've used Jodi. She is wonderful with animals. We are comfortable leaving her in the care of our home and our dogs. You will not be disappointed. She will send you daily pictures and updates.”
“Simply put, Jennifer was outstanding! Very patient and gentle with our puppy, who's terrified of the world. Also understanding and loving with our big guy with no sense of personal space. Sent pictures daily of our buddies along with plenty of updates. Having never used a service like this I was a bit nervous but I felt like she had it all handled. Dogs, house and all. Just easy. I will be using her again, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a calm steady presence while you are away!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emma made us feel at ease with our meet and greet, and overall process. She was reliable, our dogs seemed to love her, and she was very communicative. We will definitely try and book her again in the future. Thank you, Emma!”
About: I am an experienced house sitter, and I love helping animals feel safe and comfortable! I have a lot of energy to give to pets that need it. I was on a multi-month hiking trip, but had to come home early due for personal reasons. That leaves me with extra vacation time at home, and I would love to share that time with your pets! I am very detail-oriented, so I will make sure I follow instructions and schedules accurately. I respect the privacy of homeowners, and will gladly communicate with the client as much as desired.
“Mary did a great job with both pups, even my anxious one! She was able to help us out on relatively short notice and even squeeze in a meet and greet before the sitting to acquaint herself with the pups!”
“Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.”
“What happy puppies! Thank you so much. I can tell they enjoyed your time with them. They were calm and happy to see me. They did look for you like, ‘hey where’s our new friend?’ I will definitely check out your availability when I need to travel again!”
About: Medical & Special-Needs Care I'm comfortable administering various types of medical care including oral medications, injections (such as insulin), and managing senior, recovering, or anxious pets. I understand the importance of careful observation, consistent routines, and timely communication with homeowners about any concerns. Training & Behavior With experience in dog and puppy training, I provide consistent reinforcement of commands, boundaries, and leash manners. I respect the training methods you've established and maintain the structure your pets need. Farm & Livestock Care I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, and similar farm animals, including daily feeding, cleaning, and barn routines. I'm well-suited for rural properties or mixed residential/farm settings where animals require knowledgeable, capable care. Hi! I'm Chip - a U.S. military veteran and senior remote professional who works from home full-time. That means consistent companionship for your pets and a safely occupied, well cared-for home. My style is calm, structured, and detail-oriented: I follow your routine closely and I communicate clearly. I'm not house sitting for vacation or social purposes. I'm a dedicated professional seeking a quiet, well-maintained home where I can work productively while providing excellent care to your pets and property. What sets me apart is being the "adult in the room" — someone who respects routines, follows instructions carefully, and treats your home with the same care I'd give my own. What homeowners appreciate: • Military veteran background with ingrained sense of responsibility • Quiet, structured lifestyle with no parties or guests • Detail-oriented with careful attention to your specific instructions • Security-minded approach to home protection • Mature judgment and calm demeanor

Courtney went above and beyond! She treated our house and our boys as if they were her own. We could not have asked for anything better. It gives such a piece of mind to know someone is caring for your babies the same way you would. Highly highly highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,276 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.
