About: I've had dogs my whole life, usually two at a time, so walking a pair or keeping up with a high-energy pup feels pretty normal to me. In college I watched friends' dogs on the weekends, and honestly I still jump at any excuse to hang out with one. I'm active and spend a lot of my free time outside, so your dog will get real walks and plenty of playtime, plus some downtime when they're ready to crash. Puppies, big dogs, little dogs, they're all welcome. I'm dependable, I pay attention to the small stuff, and I'll send you photos and updates so you're never left wondering how things are going. I work a regular weekday job, so I'm free weekday evenings after 4:30 and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm also happy to squeeze in an early morning walk before work if your pup needs one. Evenings and weekends are when I'm out walking, hitting the park, and just hanging out. I come to you, so your dog gets to stay home with their own bed, their own smells, and their normal routine. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, meds, and house rules exactly, keep them leashed on walks, and lock up every time I leave. I never take on more than two dogs at once, so nobody gets ignored. You'll get photos and a quick update every visit, and if anything ever seems off, I'll reach out right away.

“Shanley really went above and beyond while watching our two dogs! She stayed at our home and treated our dogs so well. With a 4 month puppy and an elder dog on medication three times a day, there was a lot to keep track of, yet Shanley made sure they were taken care of every day. She even provided message updates and some videos throughout our trip! All of our anxiety washed away knowing our pups were being cared for by Shanley. I will definitely be reaching out for future trips. Oh, and, our house was left spotless. Everything cleaned, more than we could have ever asked!”

“Nicky was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was very responsive. Came to meet my girls before sitting for them. They were very happy and comfortable, which is a must for me. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew they were in good hands. There were even a few situations that came up, not due to her, but she handled it perfect even though she could not get a hold of me ( I was on a cruise ). Not only did she take good care of my dogs but also took good care of my house. She cleaned and did laundry/dishes. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Nicky !”

She connected very well with my doggy and sent photos of my dog while I was on the trip. My baby was happy when we returned back. She is super recommended!! 🙂”

About: Some people innately connect with animals. Maybe this cannot be taught or learned. Even those animals who "don't like anyone" like me. It's a gift. Perhaps they can tell I'm a gentle giant and it makes them feel safe and protected. Whether cat or dog or some other creatures, I will lavish affection and attention on them (if they're into that). Or simply let them call the shots until they're ready to warm up a bit more. As a large, fit dude, I can manage even the strongest dogs, but I'm nimble and delicate with the smaller ones and cats. It comes naturally, and your pets will sense it. Summertime affords more flexibility for me as a teacher. I do have another PT gig currently on Tuesdays & Thursdays in the afternoons. But I'm mostly available the other 5 days for now, and am willing to spend time with your pets before and after shifts on days I work. For many years, I've cared for dozens of friends' pets. Long before Rover existed, I was a resident car provider in my community. Everyone knows I am reliable, professional, responsive, and flexible. Clean, sober, non-smoker.

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

About: Since I was 16 years old, I have cared for and pet sat for dogs. Over the last 20 years I’ve had two of my own dogs that I got when they were six weeks old. I believe a happy focused, dedicated puppy stage (with lots of treats) makes for a loving, caring obedient, joyful dog to be able to live their best life. Enjoying all the things they were created for. I look forward to helping your dog enjoy their time at home while you are on vacation. A side note to add is I am a mother of 4 and I have two younger boys ages 13 and 11 who will be taking turns to attend with me during my visits as a teaching opportunity for more skills with different dogs. I am a stay at home mom with four kids. My children’s ages range from 22-11yrs. My stage of life provides for many opportunities to be able to share my time to help care for animals while providing moments to teach my children how to care for others. We have a large fenced yard, and are happy to also help with crating if needed. Daily walks and feedings are built into are routine. Having this same routine allows for us to easily help others with the same needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have experience with all breeds large & small ranging from Pitbulls, German Shepards, chihuahuas & more. I worked as an executive assistant for over 4 years to a family where I took care of a variety of animals, from training puppies to putting on diapers for senior dogs. My responsibilities included everything from feeding, bathing, training, cleaning & much more. I am currently a full-time Pre-Med student working online trying to save money for medical school. I have a class on Monday from 5:30-6:45pm and the rest of the week I am available for dog care. I am very open to anything! Working as an executive assistant for a family with over 10 cats and several dogs, I was responsible for cleaning their litters, picking up after the nets, washing bowls, providing the dogs with their snacks or medicine and changing the diaper of the elderly dog. I am very respectful of the homes of others, especially the ones that I work in. I clean up after myself along with the fur babies and will treat it as if it were my own too with the upmost respect.

About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.

About: I’ve spent several years caring for pets as part of my work as a nanny and personal assistant, so I’m very used to routines, communication, and handling animals with patience. I’ve cared for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Dobermans, as well as small dogs, seniors, and puppies. What sets me apart is that I’m calm, dependable, and observant, I notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy right away. I’m comfortable with crate routines, structured walks, feeding schedules, basic commands, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’ve also handled senior-dog needs like slow walks, medication reminders, and gentle mobility support. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pup is happy and safe. Whether your dog needs long walks, quiet company, playtime, or extra patience, I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I’m home the majority of the day. When I’m house-sitting, your dog gets consistent company, supervision, and attention, I’m not someone who will be in and out all day. If I ever need to step out for a quick errand or class requirement, I always communicate ahead of time. I believe in being respectful of your home and completely transparent about my schedule, so you’ll always know what to expect. Because my program is online, I’m able to structure my study time around your pet’s needs: walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and potty breaks. This setup lets me provide calm, consistent care while keeping your dog’s routine as stable and stress-free as possible. When I care for pets in your home, I keep everything calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your dog’s routine exactly: feeding schedule, walk times, crate rules, and any house guidelines you prefer. I’m especially careful with doors, gates, and outdoor time, and I handle strong or high-energy dogs confidently. I keep your home tidy, pick up after pets right away, and treat your space with respect. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel secure in their familiar environment and give you complete peace of mind.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My friends and relatives trust me with feeding and caring for their pets as I am passionate about pets especially cats and dogs. They are my best friends and we start to share a bond after spending some time playing with them. I will be home 24/7 to care for the pets. Guaranteed! I don’t won’t outside anywhere so this is my only source of income and passion and hobby First we will meet and spend some alone time with your pet so we can get to know each other better. After getting comfortable, we will meet other pets in a secure environment slowly and steady. After we are tired of playing, we will kennel feed your pet only because we don’t want your pet to eat other dogs food due to any allergies they may have to be on the safe side. Putting water down for them. Putting food bowl down for them at there specified times. Potty breaks are given every 1-2 hours. Nap times and rest times encouraged. Play time encouraged several times a day. Walking service is up to you but we do offer dog walking for little extra charge.

“Alyson took care of my 18-year-old dog in my home for more than a week recently. Alyson was punctual whenever she came to meet us, and she didn't mind coming early or staying longer if that's what we needed. My dog, usually quite reserved, was very comfortable with her, following her around the house and sleeping in her room during the night. Alyson messaged me often and sent daily pictures so I know my dog is doing well. Her tender loving care for my dog and proactive communications gave me peace of mind during our trip. Finally, she left our house in great shape - orderly and clean. I highly recommend Alyson and would hire her again and again. Thank you, Alyson!”

Leaving your fur family behind is always a bit stressful, but Grace made it completely worry-free. She has such a natural, kind energy that our three dogs picked up on immediately. Usually, when we return home from a trip, our pups are practically climbing over us in a frantic greeting. This time? They were so relaxed and content that I’m honestly convinced they were a little disappointed to see us walk through the door instead of her! It is such a gift to find a sitter who doesn't just "watch" your pets, but truly connects with them. Grace is kind, attentive, and clearly has a huge heart for animals. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own, look no further. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Alexis was absolutely phenomenal. We have two dogs — one puppy and one senior dog on medication — and she handled both with total confidence and care. She sent updates three times a day (morning, afternoon, and night), each with photos and videos so we could actually see that everything matched what she was telling us. We never had to ask for information — she proactively told us when medications were given, when the dogs were fed, and what they were up to. That kind of communication is rare and made being away so much easier. She walked the dogs daily — sometimes multiple times a day depending on what they needed — played with them, gave them plenty of attention, and followed our instructions to a T. Any time she had a question, she asked — no guessing, no assumptions. Our house was spotless when we returned, and she even kept up with poop pickup in the yard. Both dogs were happy and well cared for. We will 100% be booking Alexis again without hesitation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vacaville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Vacaville is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $102 per night. 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 2,308 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vacaville. 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 Vacaville 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 Vacaville 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Vacaville 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 , 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 .

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 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.
