“Had a great experience. Our 2 huskies are very much like siblings, complete opposites of each other. Daryl was great at making sure everything was clear ahead of time, adapted to small situations during and communicating throughout. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.”
“Recently return from a weekend trip and booked Laura to watch our pups. She is always so fantastic with our dogs. They just love her! It’s so reassuring to have such a caring and reliable person at your home with your fur kids. Highly recommended Laura to anyone seeking a professional, loving caregiver for your pups.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs including my own senior Shih Tzu for 14 years. I currently offer daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight boarding, and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and calm presence they need while their owners are away. I also make sure pets stay on their usual schedule as much as possible so they feel safe and settled. Whether it’s a quick visit during the day, a walk to get energy out, or staying overnight, I focus on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am available full-time. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care, whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with pets and can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend bookings. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. We have a large fenced balcony at first floor. Also a big area in our community with natural grass perfect for play and potty breaks.
About: I have three rescue fur babies that live their best lives and consider my clients to be an extended part of my little family. I even have a sign on my desk that says, “I work hard so my dogs can have a better life.” I am a health care leader who recently relocated to California and I am available to care for your pet Monday-Sunday. I provide services in the Danville and San Ramon area. **House Sitting:** For overnight stays, I require a brief meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone. I also ask that the space I’ll be using (bedroom and bathroom) be prepared with fresh linens for my stay. I’m very comfortable in lived-in homes, but I do ask that the environment be generally clean and safe so I can focus on providing the best care for your pet. If I feel that the setup isn’t a good fit, I may respectfully decline the booking. I’m a retired United States Air Force veteran and take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and pets. I’m happy to provide a current background check, credit check, drug screening, and references upon request. I also encourage you to review my client feedback to get a sense of the care and consistency I provide.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, starting with Daisy, a cocker spaniel I got back in second grade. She lived to a happy old age and even had puppies. I kept one, a cockapoo named Lucas, and he’s still with me today along with his sister Bella. They’re almost 13 now, so I know senior dogs well, plus all the energy and walks that younger ones need. Over the years I’ve dog sat and house sat for family and friends, with everything from small dogs to big breeds like a Kangal and a pit/bulldog mix. I’m comfortable with all kinds, though small to medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m also happy to handle the little stuff, like ear cleaning, that some breeds need. Whether your dog is a puppy, full of energy, or slowing down a bit, they’ll be in calm and caring hands with me. My schedule shifts week to week since I’m balancing work and school, but overall it gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally free most mornings and have stretches throughout the day to check in, walk dogs, or spend real time with cats rather than just rushing through visits. For house sitting, I plan my hours around your pet’s routine, not the other way around. I’ve had pets my whole life, so a calm and safe environment is second nature to me. For dogs, that means sticking to their walk and feeding schedule and being attentive during play and downtime. For cats, I’m careful about doors and entry points since I know how easily they can slip out, and I keep an eye on plants or anything toxic that curious pets might chew on. Either way, I follow your home’s rules exactly as you’d want them and pay attention to the small things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable with someone new around.

I am responsible and dependable and love them unconditionally. I will be respectful of your home and your privacy throughout my house sitting stay.
“Jordan took care of our 2 cats for a week when we went away on vacation. He was really on top of things, responsible and reliable. He sent us photos daily by text to assure us everything was happening according to plan. He’s really nice too. I highly recommend him!”
“Elizabeth provided the warmth and love that our dogs needed to feel secure while we were away. She always kept us up to date and sent photos. I would ask her again anytime.”

“Thank you Sabrina for being able to house sit my dog with short notice. She took my dog nice walks and even a little jogging with him. She also vacuumed and kept my house clean. My dog was happy so I’m happy too. 🐶🥰”
“Brittney was great; she took good care of our girls and tidied up our house nicely. Looking forward to booking more stays, finally a tad bit of freedom and peace of mind knowing our girls are happy and cared for.”
“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”
“She did a great job caring for my two dogs and cat. The girls were all healthy and happy when I got home and the place was nice and clean. Definitely recommend Lena to watch your animals:)”
“Desiree took wonderful care of our dog, cat, Guinea pig, fish and plants for 10 days. Our Guinea pig was sick and required antibiotics as well as feeding through a syringe. Desiree kept the animals happy and comfortable, and even encouraged a bloom from one of my succulents! She sent updates and kept us in the loop with pictures and videos. When we got home, our pets seemed unfazed by our absence! We feel like Desiree truly loves our animals, and we will be booking her again for our next vacation! Thank you Desiree!”
About: I grew up in the rural countryside of France, surrounded by animals, especially dogs. From a young age, I learned how to care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, helping with feeding, walking, grooming, and companionship. Since moving to the US seven years ago, I’ve continued caring for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ pets, earning their trust through reliable, attentive care. I understand that each dog has unique needs and personality, and I’m committed to providing the same love and attention I’d give my own pets. Your furry family member will be in experienced, caring hands. I currently am a UNLV student and work part-time as a peer mentor on campus. My schedule is busier on Tuesdays and Thursdays with classes and work, but I have significant flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I can easily accommodate pet care around my academic schedule, and I’m happy to discuss specific timing needs to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow all specific instructions provided by owners regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and behavioral needs. I ensure pets are supervised appropriately, keep doors and gates secured, and maintain a clean space. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and body language, giving them space when needed while providing plenty of affection and engagement. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well-cared for.
“I am so glad that I found Aubrey! She patiently built a relationship with my sweet but fearful dog, Ruby. She took the time to learn our routines and has helped manage Ruby's reactivity with such kindness and positivity. I look forward to Aubrey's clever pupdates and cute pics when they return from walks and playtime. I love not having to worry when I am working or out of town because I know Ruby is so well taken care of.”
“Aaron took care of my fur babies for 3 days. He kept me updated the entire time. I could tell the pups were well taken care of. He stayed here, and you wouldn’t know it so I guess he’s super tidy. I will definitely use his service again!”
About: Dog walking and dog sitting was my first ever job! I have dog walked and dog sat for my friends, my family, and worked for local dog walking company for a couple years—taking care and walking multiple dogs a week. I have also cat sat for many years and volunteered at an animal shelter and have lots of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats. I love my pets and would love to care of yours like they are my own! I’m currently working part time from home and have availability during the day for dog walks. I am also available on some weeks/weekends for dog and cat sitting! I have a fenced yard and a very walkable neighborhood for dogs. I can crate dogs and take dogs on walks. I also have had dogs in this home and currently have 1 friendly cat.

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.
Sabrina was incredible with our dogs! And she took amazing care of them. Sabrina is responsible and knowledgeable about dogs. I have not felt so comfortable with a sitter as I have with Sabrina. She is a gem. And I know our dogs loved her! I would use Sabrina again and again. She gave us such peace of mind while we away. She is truly the best!
I am so glad that I found Aubrey! She patiently built a relationship with my sweet but fearful dog, Ruby. She took the time to learn our routines and has helped manage Ruby's reactivity with such kindness and positivity. I look forward to Aubrey's clever pupdates and cute pics when they return from walks and playtime. I love not having to worry when I am working or out of town because I know Ruby is so well taken care of.
Oh my gosh, Kimberly is an exceptional dogsitter! She was so good with Tavish, who is a big strong dog, he weighs 115 pounds and can be very protective. Tavish loved Kimberly and she did an amazing job reading his body language and embracing his idiosyncrasies. Great communication; would 100% book again.
Jordan took care of our 2 cats for a week when we went away on vacation. He was really on top of things, responsible and reliable. He sent us photos daily by text to assure us everything was happening according to plan. He’s really nice too. I highly recommend him!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Ramon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Ramon on Rover is $69.93 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 9,716 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Ramon. 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 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 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 San Ramon. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
