About: I love running and long walks so if your dog is energetic, I will happily take them with me!! I live in a house with a large fenced in backyard and grass for your dog to roam around in and enjoy! I have a flexible schedule where I can work from home or drop by to check in on your pup! My housemate is also home often and many years of experience caring for dogs (and will happily provide belly rubs). Within your home, I understand every owner has their own personal preferences for how to take care of their pet so this is my highest priority. I make sure to leave the home as I came.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.

About: I have been pet sitting for relatives for many years, and I understand how difficult it can be to leave them in the hands of another person. I love my dogs like my children and care for them as such. I cared for my dog Lexi for over 16 years. I have loved dogs ever since and would really like to help you take care of yours. I am a teacher at Emerald High School where I teach Biomedical Sciences. As such, I have the opportunity to leave work before most 9-5s to take care of your doggo or pupper. If you would like your dog socialized, my dog is friendly with other dogs, but I can also leave my dogs at home to take care of your dog solo. I live an active lifestyle where I run 3-4 miles almost every day. So if your dog is just as active, I can help release your dog's energy through running. My daily routine revolves around my dog since I do not have children. I prefer to care for you dog in my home to ensure they have continuous care. I have a fenced yard and one dog who tolerates her younger puppy cousin staying with us for long periods of time. I have a dog door that would fit a dog that’s 50 lbs or under. I can also stay at your home if that’s something you prefer.

“Kelli was amazing! After our meet and greet, I immediately had really good vibes and felt comfortable leaving Hoku in her care. She had great communication, did everything I asked and then some, and Hoku seemed so happy and at ease with her. That means everything to me! I would absolutely recommend Kelli and will definitely book with her again. 🐾💖”

About: May not have any dog sitter experiences. But I have been the main parent and love giver for my PopZ for 11 years. I see that as a crucial deciding factor in determining how affectionate I am with dogs. PopZ has learned several tricks from us like roll over, right, left paw, pray, turn around, whisper (soft bark) and more. I love him a lot and I feel that all dog lovers do as well. So if I’m your dog sitter and/walker, you will get the best from me. *second best”. PopZ gets the best. lol. JK, all dogs are precious. Decided to take a break from working and spend more time with family and my cutie pie PopZ, our love pet since he was 2 months old. I just love dogs and thought, why not do dog sitting to have the opportunity to see other dogs that will brighten my day 🙂. I can dog sit, walk them any day if you give me 3 days notice. For dog sitting, I will ensure they have food, fresh water when needed. They will have petting and playtime 🙂. And will go for walks if that’s what’s part of the routine.

About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs and other small animals. Friends and family trust me to take care of their pets of all ages/ different needs when they are out of town. This includes administering meds, feeding, walking and most importantly, playing! Can’t wait to meet!🐾❤️ I'm very flexible when it comes to aligning with your pups schedules throughout the first half of the week! I’m typically available between 7-7pm. I pay attention to detail when it comes to checking in with your pup, making sure they are eating, meds are taken at appropriate times, walks are given, playing, and making sure they are going to the bathroom and not just sniffing around! Haha

About: I have a huge passion for animals and always have since I was little. I love dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, anything you name it! Being around animals brings me so much joy. I’ve taken care of close friends, or family pets in the past. I’m extremely detail-oriented and very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals. I have always been sure to fulfill the needs of animals under my care. I am a fast learner as well, so if there is ever a new skill I need to learn based off an animal in my care, I’m quick to pick up on it! I’m currently working part-time, and I am a student as well! I only work during the evenings and my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays at Las Positas, so I’m generally free any other time! My work schedule is pretty flexible as well and I love to make time for pet care/ animal quality time! I live in a very safe and friendly community, which provides other community dogs and dog parks as well. Lots of grassy area to play and nice scenery to take animals on walks. I am very open to following directions with client in home care, as well as adapting to the environment or adding anything to provide care so pets are comfortable as well as their owners!

It perfectly complements my active lifestyle and is something I look forward to every day. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet's needs, maintaining their routines at home or mine, ensuring comfort, security, and frequent updates for owners.

Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and keeping them on their normal routines. I’ve cared for pets with different personalities and energy levels, from playful and active dogs who need lots of exercise to more relaxed pets who just want some company and cuddles. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding instructions, schedules, and household rules. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I am currently working part time at a local restaurant and attending college online so I am always home and available to care for doggies! I have a fenced yard that is big and has lots of grass, including a dog run. I also have 1 friendly dog named snoop that loves to play.

About: We (Jerry and Joy) have been known for taking care of our friends’ dogs as if they are our own. From few hours to 5 weeks, dogs of different sizes have been under our care which had led to many of our friends recommending us to start Rover. Jerry is a runner and recreational tennis player, he feels confident providing the best physical care for the puppies — going out on runs and doing indoor tugging activities. Joy likes staying at home more, and she will always be looking out to see if the puppies are comfortable and pouring them with love. Also, be prepared to get showered with tons of pics and stories of how your puppies spent their time during their stay, we will send you as many as we can take! Our dog-friendly place in a very cozy community in Livermore will be a safe, quiet heaven for your puppies — with a spacious park nearby, including a fenced dog park, where puppies can enjoy running while on/off leash (I prefer not doing off-leash when outside unless it's fenced yard or dog park). As a dedicated dog lover with a full-time job (weekdays, 6 am to 4 PM but can come home for lunch around 11 am), I’ve structured my schedule to ensure your furry friend gets the best care possible. Also, Joy would spend her most of time at home with your puppy. Here’s what you can expect: - Reliable Availability: We plan potty breaks at least three times a day—typically around 7-8 AM, 12 PM-2 PM, and 10-11 PM—so your pup’s needs are always met. - Plenty of Companionship: Your dog will have company for most of the day, with alone time never exceeding 8 hours. - Daily Exercise: We take multiple short walks every day, giving your pup fresh air and a chance to stretch their legs. - Flexible Coordination: We are happy to work with you to ensure your dog’s care schedule fits seamlessly with mine. - Personalized Attention: Every pup in our care receives love, attention, and care tailored to their specific needs. Rest assured, your four-legged family member will be in loving and responsible hands while you’re away! We live in a dog-friendly condo in a safe and welcoming residential area of Livermore. Our home is located right next to a fully fenced dog park, where your pup can safely sniff, run around, and socialize with other friendly dogs. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation during their stay. For added peace of mind, we have a reliable car and am prepared to transport your pet to the nearest veterinary urgent care if needed. Our 3-story code is clean, secure, and designed with pets in mind, offering a comfortable environment where your furry friend will feel right at home. Whether it’s playtime at the park or cozy downtime indoors, your dog will be cared for in a safe, enriching environment that prioritizes their happiness and well-being.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ulmar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ulmar on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,873 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ulmar. 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 Ulmar 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 Ulmar 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 Ulmar 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ulmar. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
