About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.
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 .
About: Dogs truly mean everything to me. They bring me so much happiness and comfort, and being around them just feels right. I’ve been a dog mom for 7 years to my own very large furbaby (over 100 pounds!), and he is genuinely the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love him more than anything, and caring for him has taught me patience, responsibility, and unconditional love. While I don’t have a lot of experience caring for other dogs yet, I’m excited to start! I’m attentive, friendly, and eager to learn. I’ll treat your pup with the same care and love I give my own. I’m a student with a part-time job, but I have plenty of availability & flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and quality time throughout the day. I’ll care for pets in my clients’ homes by sticking to their usual routines as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while always respecting your instructions and your home. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and confident while you’re away.
“Aubrey did an amazing job with Penny. She kept her visits interesting and even braved the rain and muddy dog for games of fetch in the back yard. We will definitely hire her again!”
“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.”
“Tasha is an amazing dog walker! Her love for animals shines through in everything she does. Azul adores her and always has a blast on their walks. She’s reliable, caring, and great at keeping me updated. If you want someone who treats your dog like family, Tasha’s the one!”
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.
“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.”
About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.
“Bailey was AMAZING with our golden retriever puppy! She consistently arrived on time, was so communicative, and took the best care of our baby! We are so thankful for the love and care you gave to looking after Sully- THANK YOU!!”
“Julia did an AMAZING job of communicating with me & caring for my senior dog. Her attention to detail was on point & I for once wasn’t stressed about how he was doing while I was out of town. I will absolutely use her services again!”
“Stephanie is incredible! She has been incredibly accommodating with our changing schedules. We can tell she really loves our dog because he is always excited to see her. Thank you, Stephanie.💙”
“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: My life has always been my dogs. I have been taking care of dogs and other pets my entire life and it's truly my life's purpose. I have experience with all breeds especially elderly chihuahuas and timid breeds. No breed is too difficult for me. I have experience with rescuing and fostering for the past 15 years as well as volunteering at shelters. I've been exposed to all different backgrounds, personalities, sizes and breeds. No matter what all dogs are good dogs it's just matter of giving them the attention they need and that's what I'm here to help you with! I'm an avid hiker and walker for my two boys and will customize play time and amount of exercise to your baby. I'll make sure you get pictures and updates and can promise I'll do anything to make sure you furry child has a doggone good time! I have a flexible schedule currently and will be attending school in the spring. At the moment I am available mostly between 11am-10 pm Monday-Saturday. I can do mornings on occasion or Sundays if necessary. Don't hesitate to ask and I will always see what I can do. My dogs get fed twice a day and get their preferred treats. They get daily walks and 2-3 hiking adventures a week. They are very different temperaments and energy so I am used to tailoring their exercise routine accordingly. I will care for your pets in a similar way or as needed and agreed upon during our communications. I am very in tune and attentive to what your pets needs are. I will respect the rules set forth by the client and most importantly make sure your pet is cared for and truly enjoyed their time. I will always do my best to leave your loved one in a better state than when I arrived making sure all their needs are met including any meds, feeding, treats, water and waste removal and exercise. If you have special requests please let me know.

“Demi did a wonderful job of watching my two cats while I was away for the weekend. When I got home, I could tell they had been well cared for, and I really appreciated the pictures she uploaded. Thank you Demi!”
“Andrea took great care of our kitties. She is very responsible and genuinely loves animals. She asked excellent questions and took detailed notes during our meet & greet. She sent us photos and detailed reports for each drop-in visit and even brought in our mail!”

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!

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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Ramon is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $42 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 October 2026, there are 14,208 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
