“Jana came over for a meet and greet as was very attentive to my dogs needs and routine. She house sat for over a week, communicated well, sent lots of pics and updates which made us happy and we were able to enjoy our vacation to full extent. We would definitely use Jana again and recommend her.”

Bella was super comfortable meeting Laura & got along right away , definitely felt at ease the entire time we were away. Would definitely book with again! 🫶🏻”


About: 10 years of pet sitting for dogs and cats 5 years of professional dog walking, dog care, and dog bathing 5 years volunteering at cat rescue Cared for pets of all sizes and ages I’m currently working as a part-time dog bather so I have lots of time to care for your fur babies and give them the attention they need. I care for your pets in your home based off what routines they are used to. Let me know what they love and what their house rules are and I will follow that to insure they feel safe and happy.
“Brittany took wonderful care of our dogs, cats, and rats! She was very responsive, attentive, and communicated well with us while we were away. We appreciated the way she tracked their schedule and went above and beyond cleaning up after them in our yard. It definitely made our time away more relaxing.”


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.
“Aaron stayed at our house for five days caring for our two dogs while we were out of town. One of our pets is a 95lb shepherd mix with aggression towards other dogs, the other a young girl still working on socialization, so we have to be very cautious when selecting a sitter. Aaron was wonderful with both dogs! He worked daily with each of them individually on behavior modification and cared for them just as we would. We received daily communication and photos of their activities and we never worried about them for a minute. When we arrived home the mail was left neatly on the counter for us, the house was spotless and the dogs were happy. We highly recommend Aaron even though we would like to keep him all to ourselves! ?”

“3rd time with Betsy and she is always awesome! My cats adore her and its clear that she loves them like her own. She sends pictures and updates and I completely trust her to stay in our and handle any issues that may arise.”


About: Hi! I’m Connie, a reliable and caring pet lover based in the Bay Area. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’m active, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby for company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs and routine. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, and to make your time away as stress-free as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekdays and weekends. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, playtime, or extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and provide consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision while respecting the rules of your home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.
“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!”

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly loves animals and treats every pet like family. I’ve had hands-on experience dog sitting for my grandma, and I have my own bunny, so I understand how important patience, gentleness, and attention are when caring for animals. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—I’m not just there to “watch” them, I’m there to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I pay attention to their moods, routines, and little details that make them comfortable. I’m responsible, caring, and naturally nurturing, and I’ll always make sure your dog gets plenty of love, playtime, and care—just like they would at home. Your pet’s happiness and comfort mean everything to me! Pet care fits thoughtfully into my routine in a way that still allows me to give each pet my full attention and care. I work Monday through Thursday from 7–4, so I’m available in the afternoons and evenings on most weekdays, as well as Fridays and Saturdays. I’m not available for early morning walks before work, Sundays, Mondays, or some Tuesdays, but when I am available, I make sure to be fully present. After work, I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love so your pet feels happy and comfortable. I focus on being reliable and consistent within my schedule, making sure every visit is calm, attentive, and full of care. Your pet will always get quality time, affection, and a safe, comforting environment with me I care for every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable no matter where they are. In my home or a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine—feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel as relaxed as possible. I’m very gentle and attentive, always paying attention to their behavior and needs, whether that means extra cuddles, quiet time, or lots of play. I keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, and give them plenty of love and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, happy environment where your pet feels secure, cared for, and truly at home 🤍
“We can’t begin to thank Kristi enough for coming to our rescue and taking fabulous care of our lab Dexter and our itty bitty kitty Willy ! She cared for our home like it was her own, everything was right in its place when we got home. Her communication with us while we were gone was fantastic, she let us know every step of the way how things were going and the pictures and videos were so fun to receive!! We wouldn’t give it a second thought to take full advantage of Kristi’s services again when needed !”

About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my Kids' Country job around 10am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 6:30pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.

About: Reliable and caring dog sitter with over three years of experience supporting multiple families. I’ve provided both in-home care and boarding for extended trips, including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. As a former dog owner, I understand the importance of trust and treat every pet with patience, attention, and genuine care. I live in a safe neighborhood with access to the Iron Horse trail and a large fenced backyard for dogs to play! I work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility throughout the day. I am very active so I love taking walks and being outside with your animal! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, regular walks, and structured feeding schedules. I limit the number of pets to 2 at a time to ensure each dog gets personalized care.
“Aida is great. She sat the house and my 15 year old cockapoo and 8 year old cat for five days. The fur babies loved her, she was in regular contact with me and sent photos once in a while (but also did not overload me with them, either). The house was in great condition when I got home. Couldn't ask for more. I will hire her again, except she is in high demand and you will need to book early.”

“Overall, Sabrina did a great job with Zac, our shy 9-year-old Border Collie mix. She understands dogs and she gently let Zac warm up to her the first day or so after which they had a super 10 days together. Zac was in great spirits when we returned and our home was in good shape - we wouldn't hesitate to ask Sabrina to sit with Zac again in the future, if she is available.”

“Demi was a great house sitter for my dog Meatball! She was respectful of the house, gave us great updates and showed him a lot of love. We would definitely use her again!”

The median cost per night for house sitting in San Ramon is $75

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 9,603 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.

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.
