“Mary was wonderful work with. Responsive, clear and trustworthy. Our dogs were in great hands. She sent regular updates and think our dogs had more fun then we did. Highly recommended.”
“Peyton was so attentive to my boy, and consistently communicated the entire time he was under her care. He so obviously took a liking to her, and would not have if she didn't provide the best care possible. She's going to be the first person I look to for pet care from this point forward! Fantastic sitter and simply a joy to interact with”
“Kevin was wonderful with Molly and Leia! He took great care of them, kept us updated, and sent photos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the attention he gave our dogs. They were happy and well cared for when we got home. We would definitely recommend Kevin and would love to have him watch them again!”
About: I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets! I’m available Monday through Saturday, anytime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and daily routine. I believe every pet deserves plenty of love, attention, and enrichment! I can provide companionship, playtime, mental stimulation, and affection in your home. I’m also happy to help with walks, feeding, fresh water, and keeping your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routines so they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience with both dogs and cats. Family members and friends have trusted me to care for their pets, including walking, feeding, providing fresh water, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable caring for animals of different sizes and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, leisurely walks, or simply having someone nearby for company and cuddles, I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away!
About: I've cared for dogs for almost two years now. Whenever I am with a dog, they always have my constant attention, and I am usually with them. I have given them medicine, fed them, taken them for walks, and spent 2-7 days with them. Before I started dog-sitting, I would take dogs for walks when people weren't home or would feed them when they were not home. Pet care usually fits into my weekend routine more than anything, about 2-3 times a month, and occasionally on weeknights. I have gone to school while also taking care of the dogs, so I would wake up early, take them for walks, come back after school, and spend the rest of the night with them. When I am in someone else's home or a client's home, I take very good care of their home. I take the trash out, sometimes vacuum, and do the dishes, make the bed, and overall just take care of the house because I know that it is very important aspect of looking after someones dog.
“We had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Norene! She went above and beyond for our two dogs, gave us pictures and updates, and left the house in pristine condition! I would recommend her to anyone, and will definitely book again!”
“It was a pleasure meeting Sarah and having her stay with Beef and Frannie. She kept in touch during her stay letting me know everyone was well, comfortable and already snoring. 😴 🐶🐶”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’m a huge pet person. I find joy in meeting new animals and being able to spend my free time taking care of them. I love being able to help others so I’m always open to find any time I may have to help you with your pets when needed. FYI- I live 5 mins away from Hersheypark… bring your dog for to me for doggy daycare if you plan on taking a weekend/daytrip to Hershey or Hersheypark! I’m currently working full time. I pet sit and dog groom on the side of my full time job. Weekends is when I have the most time to spend with the dogs. During the week I still give them plenty of loving but it’s before work and after work due to my schedule. I will always make sure they are on a leash when outside if there is no fence. I can will take care of your dog in your house or mine whichever is prefered.
“After a last minute cancellation from another sitter, we were so lucky to come across Jordan's profile. She was able to do a meet and great asap and accommodated our 2 fur babies for a 10 day stay. They immediately felt comfortable following her around her home which also had a fully fenced in backyard. We appreciate her prompt messages and video updates to reassure us the pups are doing well. Our sweet boy Cowboy loved her daughter and both pups got tons of play time in their backyard. Loved how they both got a much needed supervised play time and socialization with their pup and other well behaved doggies too. It is good to know they are well cared for and with someone reliable while their family is away. We would use her again soon. Thank you :)”

About: Hi there! My name is Alyse. Im currently a stay at home mom . I have a fun, rambunctious Pomeranian named Aria! I love to be around animals and take good care of them. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and so on. I’ve also taken care of my friends pets as well, whenever they go on trips or go on vacation I’d be the first person they come running too. I hope to be of service and help out as much as I can. I would say I do my best at giving the animals much love and affection as possible and caring for their needs. As well as making my customers happy!! As for scheduling, I am flexible and can work with you. I know I can offer great services to you and your furry friend. I hope you will consider me. You can contact me anytime of the day! I currently work from home. I’m able to walk dogs, do drop in visits as well as spend some time with your pet while you’re away! I love walking at parks and going on hiking trails with the dogs. Making sure the dogs are enjoying themselves and staying healthy and active!
About: I’ve have taken care of dogs since I was little. I currently own a dog of my own. I’m good with all kinds of dogs, rescues especially. In my free time I volunteer at the animal shelter to give them the love they unfortunately don’t receive. I have an easy and flexible schedule. I’m typically available to check in with your pets every 2-4 hours during the weekends, and every 4-6 hours during the weekdays. I can crate your animal based on your preference. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I take my dog on a trail everyday to make sure he gets all the exercise he needs. I can handle large and extra large dogs even ones that pull on a leash.
“Abi was very faithful in spending quality time with my older beagle. She shared photos, updates, and even gave me a summary of their time together. I would highly recommend Abi as a pet sitter! She was wonderful.”
“Serena was amazing! She sent me updates with pictures and videos multiple times. We will for sure be using her for whenever we need a pet sitter. I think my sweet Annie girl found a new bestie!”
About: I had the pleasure of working with animals in a Pet Resort for four years. It gave me great insight into what helps pets and their parents when the two can't be together - communication and care are paramount! I'll be happy to take your pet for an invigorating walk or a casual stroll, or just hang out and toss a ball around. I have experience with insulin injections, pills, and fluid administration for dogs and cats. I also have experience with small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters) and fish. My schedule is fairly flexible! I work as a restaurant server and my job generally asks for about a month's notice for official time-off requests, but I can often make much more short-notice arrangements. My own cat only "requires" her wet food once a day at night, and my bunnies are fed in the afternoon, so if I were to housesit I'd just leave for an hour or so and come back. A meet and greet is, of course, essential! I'm happy to get to know your pet and their boundaries before "taking over". I'll only ever come to a home by myself and fully expect and respect doorbell cams etc.
“Tim was a very professional and helpful young man. One of our dogs is very shy with new people. Tim made it a special point to make Albert feel comfortable. I was completely satisfied with Tim. I was very confident in leaving him with our boys. We had no hesitation with having Tim as a guest in our home. I highly recommend this young gentleman.”
About: I have 5 years of experience with pet sitting. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them both equally. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats, due to this I can handle different animals and different situations as well! I am currently working part-time, but I currently have open availability due to it being the summer months and not having college classes at the moment. When I am taking care of pets I make sure they have enough of food and water before leaving the house, and if they need to be in a certain room of the house or in a crate I make sure they are secured in that area of the home.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pleasant Hill is $50

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 968 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
