“I am so happy Nala warmed up to Ayla right away! She was extremely helpful, caring and provided fantastic updates following each visit. I felt so comfortable away on vacation knowing my cat was in good hands!”
“Julia was wonderful! Our cat, Stormy, took to her immediately when they met for the first time. Julia took great care of Stormy, and followed instructions to the letter. She was punctual, kept to the agreed schedule, provided daily detailed communications / updates and kept the house tidy and in order. We will definitely use Julia again! Thanks for taking great care of Stormy!”
“Jessica is a trustworthy and committed sitter that made my animals feel loved and well taken care of. I can tell from the pictures of her playing ball with my dogs that they were in heaven with all the attention she was giving them. Great communication and easy-going with great energy.”
“Bailey was great! I have a dog with special needs and she worked with him well. We had specific instructions and she was able to work with us in that regard. Would recommend Bailey for anyone with a pup! 👍”
“5/5 Stars! Mitchell is hands down the best cat sitter ever! Mitchell took such amazing care of my cats while I was away. He is incredibly responsible, attentive, and clearly a true cat lover. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My cats usually take time to warm up to strangers, but they absolutely loved him. I cannot recommend Mitchell highly enough—he is the only one I’ll trust with my fur babies from now on!”
“Lollipop and Nicole made fast friends during our spring break holidays and we couldn’t be more pleased! Nicole communicated frequently and we always felt she was safe and happy. Nicole gets our highest recommendation.”
“Eliana was such a great sitter for our dog, who is 12 and can be a little high maintenance. She was loving and kind to her, and made me feel so much better about being gone for a week. Thank you so much Eliana!”
“Excellent! Chenyang went above and beyond. She is my new sitter. She left a report card and a treat for Mom (me). I love the fact I can trust my fur baby is in the care of another who cares as much as I. BIG THANK YOU!!! Chloe and I appreciate you.”
“Anne cared for my two cats while I was out of town for 2 nights. I have a 10 month old tabby who is extremely shy. I was really worried about him but after one visit he was able to warm up to Anne. I was at ease during my time away from home knowing that Anne will be checking on my kitties. She responded quickly and provided lots of photos.”
“This is my second time working with Veronica. She's been excellent at taking care of my dogs, keeping us updated on how my dogs were doing, and addressing needs of our pups. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”
“Dakota did an amazing job! I needed someone for a short time to just walk my dog for a few days while I was at work. Communicates well and I got a hilarious picture out of it!!”
“Robin is great - super diligent, caring, and good with animals! I've booked her twice and everything went well (even with my very fussy cat). She also goes out of her way to drop off my key when I return from trips. A wonderful sitter overall!”
“Nilab took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. I appreciate all the pictures she took playing with the cats, it gave me peace of mind while we were away. Thank you!”
“I was in a bind because I had to go on a work trip. So this was my first time having Marlene take care of my doggies. I am always reluctant to have new people in my home, taking care of my babies. But, after meeting her both I and my little guys felt comfortable. I returned to find my little guys very happy and well taken care of. While I was gone, she sent pictures each day. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Marlene and will be calling on her again in the future.”

Jordan was wonderful with my cats! He took great care of them while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. He was very communicative and kept me updated throughout. I think Chloe may have even made a new friend! I would definitely recommend Jordan and would happily have him care for my cats again!
Nicole was fantastic with my 2 cats! I have one cat that is diabetic and happens to be rather mean and the other who is scared of his own shadow. Charlie would hiss and swipe at her and Enzo would hide and not eat. Nicole was so patient with both of them to ensure they were fed and Charlie got his shot. Nicole was great with communicating with me to try to ensure they were fed and well cared for even though they didn't make it easy on her. Also, due to the diabetes being timely is important and Nicole was on time every day, twice a day while we were gone. I would highly recommend Nicole as a pet sitter!
Highly recommended! Exceptionally professional and caring. Shiyin provided top-notch care for my cat. She was punctual, highly communicative, and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. My cat warmed up to her almost instantly. Look no further if you want peace of mind while you are away. 5 stars all the way! Thank you for your service.
I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.
Yuran and Jax immediately connected. Jax can be slow to warm up but he made it clear she was "in the pack." Yuran is a great communicator and sent updates and photos. Jax is looking forward to more walks with Yuran and I'm happy to have a reliable person to help with him.
Highly recommend Maya! Maya provided drop-in visits for our two dogs and four rabbits, and everything went smoothly. Communication was great throughout, she was always prompt, and it was clear our pets were well cared for. We really appreciated the reliability and attention. We will be booking Maya again.
My husband and I were thrilled with Lindsay and her obvious and genuine care for our cats Foxy and Maizy. It was also very clear that our cats felt comfortable with Lindsay.We were both a bit hesitant about having a cat sitter and Lindsay certainly erased any concern that we had. Lindsay sent loving comments and beautiful pictures of our dear Cats. She made certain that things were left in good order and clean. Thank you, Lindsay.
Brooke just took care of our 3 cats and did a fantastic job. She was here on each day we requested, sent photos and made sure our fur babies had everything they needed including some much needed affection. She is really great with animals. I highly recommend her.
We had a wonderful experience leaving our cat fur a day while having Zi check in on him twice. I was quite wary of letting a stranger into my house while we were away but after meeting Zi at our scheduled meet and greet, all my fears were set aside as she was very sweet and loving towards Billy Bob, our cat. She visited on time and sent pictures and communicated during and after the visits. I’ll definitely look her up again next time we need a pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in San Ramon on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,236 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Ramon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a San Ramon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Ramon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
