About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“Thank you Aubrey for being such an amazing sitter and just so flexible with everything! Loved having you sit for my little monsters because you treated them as if they were your own!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Ella! She is the absolute best! She’s super communicative, caring, and reliable. I had complete peace of mind leaving my girl with her while we were on a 5 day trip. You could tell she genuinely loves dogs and wants to help care for your pet. My dog could tell too, as she absolutely loves her! My dogter and I can’t wait to book Ella again! 💗”
“This is our 3rd time booking Rebecca, and I think our kitties might launch a mutiny if we tried to book anyone else. Our cats are different than most because they used to be feral (living in our neighborhood) and we brought them inside. It took me over a year with one of them to earn the trust to pet him. They are not "people" cats and have only ever been pet by my family, the staff at the vet... and now, Rebecca! She has managed to win their trust in only a few short visits and they are even coming out to greet her now when she comes in. Amazing! And... Rebecca is even able to give insulin injections to that same super shy cat who didn't let me pet him for a year. Thank you, Rebecca, for all you do. We and our kitties can't say enough good things.”
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.
“As always, Desiree’s pet sitting is perfection. After having to use a different sitter while she was away on vacation, all the attention and care really shines: Desiree is always on time, follows instructions to the T, she always leaves a detailed note after each visit with amazing photos. I’m never worried with Desiree, the cats are in loving hands with her. Thank you so much Desiree!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and other pets for 40 years. I was raised with dogs including a Chow-Chow, German Shepherd and Maltese. My own dog is a Jack Russell Terrier, 12 years old. I founded a local pet sitting business over a decade ago, and currently care for a wide range of breeds, including large and active breeds. I am well experienced with dogs in all stages of life, from puppies to senior dogs, as well as dogs with special needs. I am able to administer medication, including insulin injections. I love all types of dogs, and it makes my day to be greeted by their shining faces when I come for walks and sitting visits. And it is my mission to make their day as well. It would be my honor to take care of your fur babies while you are at work or traveling. Feel free to schedule a complimentary meet & greet so we can get acquainted.
About: I always loved animals so much since I was little I wanted to become a vet until I found out how much science was involved...ha! My friends and family knew how much I loved animals that they would always go to me first to take care of their pets before bringing their furry family members to an animal daycare. I've watched over cats, birds, dogs (small and large breeds) and even helped a young Doberman mama take care of her beautiful 7 pup litter for 4 weeks until they were adopted at 6 weeks old. I also have a special love for horses, so I have taken care of horses but light work such as cleaning, riding, and restocking the hay. I work from home so I'm very flexible in terms of caring for animals. So during the day I can take them out for walks, cleaning, feeding, etc. I don't have any animals myself (yet) so if your fur baby is shy or uncomfortable around other animals, you don't have to worry about that with me. I also have a fenced yard with enough space for your animal to roam around...although I prefer to go to the pet owner's house as the animal will feel more comfortable in their own environment and also because my mom tends to have animal allergies, so for her comfort, I rather go to the owner's house.
“Lindsay was great to work with and our dog Leia loved working and walking with her. Lindsay was extremely prompt, showing up at the exact minute that we had scheduled. She was very patient getting to know our dog and we knew our dog would be in good hands seeing how much time she took to get to know our dog and her quirks. I won't hesitate to hire Lindsay again or recommend her to anyone who needs dog walking.”
About: I have been walking and pet sitting for almost 15 years now, taking some years off after i gave birth to my son, i am very excited to be back on the trails hiking and walking my dog friends again! I am a full-time mommy of one, my husband and I own a small business locally to San Ramon as well. I walk dogs M-F between 915am and about 1230 PM and can walk as well in the afternoons between 3-5pm. I have a hike group that i hike T/TH at around 1030am for 45 minutes as well!! I am currently not offering per sitting. If anything changes, I will update you ASAP! Thank you for your consideration. I look forward for dop in visits as needed.
“Thank you for taking care of our kitty! This is the second time Leilani has taken care of our pet, and she is great at leaving us updates and pictures, even if the kitty is reluctant to come out. Thank you!”
“My dog is so happy when Bar shows up at our door! Zibby gets good exercise and is always panting when she gets home, which is literally what the doctor ordered! Zibby loves her and what more could you ask for?”
“Stephanie was great with our little big girl while we were away. She also helped with our little things like giving her a little stroll around our street and picking up poop on our lawn so we didn't come home to a big mess. Our little girl was happy and we're thankful for Stephanie!”
“Kimberly took the best care of my 2 pups while I was away. But more than that, Kimberly took the best care of this nervous doe mom’s heart ❤️ She was so kind; attentive; took lots of pictures and videos that shows how much she cares for both the dogs and the human! I cannot say enough wonderful things!”

Ayla was wonderful with Koda and Kyla! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them, and it was so nice reading her updates about their walks. Koda can be a little particular about how he likes to be shown affection, so hearing that he was stopping for pets, following her around, and giving her face licks made me smile. That’s how I know he was comfortable with her! Kyla has a lot of energy and can get pretty excited, so I was especially happy to hear how well she did with her harness, even when they came across some ducks. I also appreciated Ayla being mindful of the weather & keeping them out of muddy areas. These two are my babies, and trusting someone else to care for them is a big deal to me. Ayla made that experience easy by being thoughtful, communicating well, and treating them with care. I’m grateful she took such good care of them, and I’d absolutely book her again. Thank you, Ayla, for looking after my two fur babies!
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!
Shiyin was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of our babies and cleaned up after them in ways that were above and beyond. She really captured both of our cats personalities both in her reports as well as in her photos. We will definitely book again with her in the future!
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.
It was lovely to meet Christina and a bonus to know a fellow poodle fan. I wanted to know the person who I would trust my puppy with, and I feel very confident with Christina. She looked at the paperwork I had for the Dog and I trust that she will take excellent care of my girl. I think she’s ais exactly the dog sitter I can count on.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Ramon is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $43 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 14,265 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Ramon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
