About: Hey! I'm Nazareth. I'm 22, a part-time community college student, and I also work full time as the manager of a dog daycare and boarding facility in San Ramon. I started working professionally with dogs when I was 17, and over the years I've gotten comfortable with just about every personality. High-energy dogs that love to jump? No problem. Seniors who need medication? Happy to help. Nervous, anxious, or reactive dogs? I'm comfortable working at their pace and earning their trust. I currently work full-time, so my availability varies depending on the day. Workdays (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday): Available before 9:30 AM Unavailable 9:30 AM–1:00 PM Available 1:00 PM–2:00 PM Unavailable 2:00 PM–7:30 PM Available after 7:30 PM Days Off (Wednesday & Saturday): I'm generally available throughout the day and have much more flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended visits. If your requested time falls outside my listed availability, don't hesitate to reach out anyway. My schedule can occasionally be adjusted, and I'll always do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every booking. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their owners are away. While caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep food and water fresh, clean up after your pets, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet enjoys. You'll also receive regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and well cared for. I'm experienced in recognizing animal body language and responding calmly to different personalities and situations. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I'll provide patient, reliable care tailored to their needs.
“Monica was amazing with both my dog and cat! She was very responsive and it’s clear she cares deeply for animals. She had no trouble following our somewhat extensive care instructions for our senior dog and went above and beyond on walks and sending pictures. Monica also left the house very clean. I would absolutely hire Monica again.”

“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.”


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.
“Laura is amazing! Both of my pets adored her from their first meet and greet. Laura was on time, responsive, and send frequent updates while we were away. She left our house spotless and to my surprise even did some chores as a way to go above and beyond. This was my first time booking Laura and am going to feel very comfortable when I have her back for 2.5 weeks in a couple months. I highly recommend Laura for all of your pet and home sitting needs!”

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. About my schedule: Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am available full-time. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, consistent and 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: THE go-to pet sitter within my community because of the care, attention, and genuine love I bring to every animal I look after. Friends, family, and clients consistently trust me with their pets because they know I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and attentiveness that I would my own. In addition to years of pet sitting, I have experience working with wild birds, horses, and wildlife through educational and conservation programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for animal behavior and the many different ways animals communicate, build trust, and relate to the people around them in a respectful way. My professional background as a caregiver has also strengthened skills that translate naturally to pet care, including responsibility, observation, consistency, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, supported, and cared for while you're away. Currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting, dog walks, cat care, and drop-in visits. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine with plenty of time for walks, play, companionship, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and creating a safe, comfortable environment while their humans are away. I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including cats, dogs, birds, and horses, and I have experience with anxious pets and shy cats. My approach is centered around patience, respect, and meeting each animal where they are. I’m a calm presence who understands that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I allow pets the space they need while offering support, companionship, playtime, and enrichment when they’re ready. My goal is to help pets feel secure, cared for, and comfortable in their own home.

“Mary did a great job watching my pup while I was away for six days. She gave him lots of attention and short walks (he’s a frenchie so can’t walk too far in the summer). She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out, so my mind was at ease while being far away. My place also immaculate upon my return. Overall, I was very pleased and would definitely book Mary 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!”

“From the moment we met Elizabeth we saw she was a professional. She is a natural animal lover and treated our fur baby exactly as we would have. She took our dog for walks, played with her, and let her sleep with her. We really appreciated that and the updates and pictures she sent along the way.”

About: I have tons of experience taking care of doggies!! I’ve raised tons of puppies, whelped many litters and raised them from birth, taken care of many puppies and taken care of many adults young and old, taken care of sick dogs and older dogs who required higher levels of medical care/medications/ointments etc, worked as a dog groomer at a high volume Petco salon for 9 years, worked as a vet groomer for a year, worked in a private salon for 2 years, worked as mobile groomer since 2019, with altogether over 19 years experience as a groomer. I also show my dogs in AKC conformation. I’ve been a multi dog owner for 25 years. Pretty much my whole life is dogs! I am fully dedicated to providing care for dogs. I can become very flexible as needed, depending on what a client is looking for. Currently my schedule is pretty open and I’m looking for long term and short term pet care jobs I can add to it. I pay a lot of attention to detail and try to follow instructions to the t. I provide the same high level of care for the pets of others as I do for my own pets.
“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!”

“Desiree was great with my Rosie! We had her for 10 days. She sent constant updates and pictures of the fun they had each day. I would recommend her 100 times over. Before she left she cleaned up and laundered her bedding. We certainly couldn't tell someone has been living in our home for 10 days. We'll be calling her again for sure.”


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’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.

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.

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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 9,710 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.

- 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.
