“Nicole was great with our 14 year old fur baby while we were away for the weekend! Porter loved her from our first meeting. She did a wonderful job managing his (many) medications and all of his needs while we were away. It was so great not to have to worry about him at all. She sent many photos and updates and also took great care of our home while she was here. We are so happy to have found a trustworthy, caring person to take care of our dog. I would recommend Nicole highly and will definitely have her stay with Porter again!”
“Laura was fantastic. She cared for our dog like her own and made sure to give us great daily updates while we were out of the country. She even cleaned the house, which was amazing to come home to after a long trip. We will definitely be rebooking with Laura in the future. She created a great friendship with our dog and we are so thankful!”
“Monica is amazing! She took such good care of our pups; specialized walks depending on energy levels, park play, spent time giving attention and love to them while being on top of all medicines or ointments. My dogs absolutely adore her and I will definitely book again and again with her! 🐶🩷🐶🩷”
“Veronica was quick to respond. Understanding about changes and the needs of our dog. Was very communicative and went above and beyond. We are so happy we choose her to care for our fur baby.”
“My cats warmed right up to Demi! It was a great peace of mind having her stay in my home with them so they wouldn't be bored or lonely with an empty house while I was away on a weekend trip. Demi was communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Leilani took took care of our dog and cat while we were away over the weekend. She did a great job caring and connecting with them. We would definitely use her services again!”
About: I have a vast experience of pet sitting dogs a variety of dogs and cats. Dogs breeds as small as Pomeranians to as large as an Australian Sheppards. I am an avid dog walker as well, and truly enjoy taking pets on a stroll for some activity and sunshine!! I can play fetch all day with pets or keep them occupied until they’re ready to rest. Whatever is needed, I can handle it!! I’ve I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule can be flexible depending on the week. I’m available during the weekdays and weekend. Occasionally I host open houses on the weekend, but only for 2-3 hours max. I typically watch over pets in the owners’ homes. During that time watching over pets, I make sure to keep any doors locked, unless I’m with them outside or in the backyard. I will have a leash with me or use one provided by pet owner for any walks. I make sure to double check that the water bowl is filled at all times. And I always keep the pets in my site, so I can monitor their activity and overall behavior.
“Kim is AMAZING! She took excellent care of our Jax. Based on the photos she sent, clearly, he was on vacation for the week too! She was VERY helpful around the house with my plants, taking care of the home, cleaning before we returned, and was very communicative. She was even willing to help with a family emergency while we were away. Jax is a very opinionated Pitbull; he gives her 5 STARS and is asking when she can come back. THANK YOU for everything, Kim!”

“Kimberly was such an amazing dog and house sitter. Since we were planning a big trip we wanted to interview a few options to take care of our 2 boys while we were away. Kimberly was so professional and responsive from the first message, throughout the stay and wrapping up with the boys. She asked great questions prior to the stay to ensure we could be confident our boys were in great hands. Highly recommend and plan to have her take care of the boys again in the future.”
About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.
“Jack was great watching violet. I was happy with the service. He communicated well and followed instructions and is trustworthy. Violet 🐶 loves him as well. I will definitely use Jack again in the near future. Thank you Jack, happy to have found you :)”
“Kasey was phenomenal! She house and pet sat for me for a little over a week while I was on vacation. From the initial meet & greet through the entire sit, she was great at communicating, asked good questions to make sure my pets got their needs met, and just had a clear love for animals. She sent great updates with lots of photos and even got my very pully pup out on walks every day (not something I require, because he pulls real hard, but something he LOVES). She also worked SO HARD to get my very timid cat out of her shell, playing with her daily, and even convincing her finally to seek some pets and affection. When I say this is miraculous, I'm very serious. I felt totally at ease about my pets well-being with Kasey caring for them. She also kept the house immaculate and even checked on my plants. I will 100% be contacting Kasey for future visits, and I've already recommended her to my sister.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was little, always feeling a close bond with them! I’ve worked as a dog groomer and a vet clinic cleaner! I have no preference between cats and dogs, both I find purrfect! Taking care of them will be as much a treat for them as it is for me! I work part time, so a lot of my week is free for playdates and walks! No better way to spend my free time then with your cuties. I have a closed off backyard! A pretty wooded neighborhood with a lot of trails to walk around and enjoy nature. My house is picked up with a lot of blankets and soft textures! Perfect for a nice rest for any pet

Just moved to the area and currently looking for a big girl job. Doing this in the mean time to pay my bills and have some money! I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog in my care. From secure walks to stress-free playtime, I make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, loved, and well-looked-after while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Ramon
Daryl was an amazing dog sitter. I have a 14-year old terrier mix and she is hesitant about people she doesn't know well. It took her only a couple of hours to bond with Daryl. They enjoyed long walks in the neighborhood and sitting on the deck enjoying the birds and flowers. Daryl was also very helpful with watering my plants around the house, setting up a new TV and taking a defective one to UPS for return. The house was in excellent shape when I returned, and more importantly, so was my dog. I received photos and messages from Daryl throughout my travel, which put my mind at ease. In the 14 years I have owned my little dog, Daryl was by far the best dog sitter I have had. I will not hesitate to use his services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in San Ramon is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $104 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.

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 San Ramon 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 San Ramon 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 San Ramon 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.

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.
