“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals—our pup Eggie was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we returned. She went above and beyond with her service. Highly recommended!”
“Ellen was detail oriented for our high maintenance girls. She was very attentive to their needs as well as our own. She was very flexible and literally saved our vacation by being available last minute to watch our dogs for a week. We got home from a long travel day to a clean home, and fresh sheets which was the cherry on top. We cannot recommend Ellen enough.”
“Dan and Haruka Did an amazing job I’m watching our two cocker spaniels over a full weekend staying at our house. Our doggies got along splendidly with them and they were reliable and efficient. Sending us photos each day.”
“Rocelyn was amazing! She took my last minute booking request and watched our dog for a few days and gave her constant attention and activity while keeping us updated with frequent pictures.”
“Amy did a great job with our very active 6 month old puppy. She sent daily photos and updates. She did everything that we outlined and was a pleasure to work with. I have already suggested her to friends. I would absolutely hire her again and feel very confident with her in my house. Thanks Amy!”
“Kiet did an amazing job watching my fur babies!! He kept me updated the whole trip and I knew they were in great hands allowing me to actually enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend booking with him!”
“Jaquan did an amazing job with our two frenchies and left the home cleaner than when we left, with two happy puppies. We will definitely reach out to him again for our needs.”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have three cats of my own, including one that's about to be 6 years old. I also previously had two dogs and have years of experience caring for family members' dogs while they're away on week-long vacations. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I've worked with cats of all ages and personalities. I'm comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications if needed, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m also available for sitting in households throughout the week/weekends! In addition, I can commute to Napa as I regularly go into town! I always follow each pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you're away. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks or clean litter boxes, and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pets, and follow any special instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, or house rules. I'm happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've been the go-to sitter for my everyone in my circle of friends. I've been petsitting for 5 years. I've taken care of pets with medicinal needs such as diabetes, seizures and daily medication. I'm comfortable with most breeds; I've taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkshire Terrier to a dog as large as a Newfoundland. I work a 9-5 job, but if the home is close enough to where I work regularly, then i will stop by and check on the pets on my lunch. Outside of my work hours, I usually strive to keep their routines as close to their normal as possible. I typically send photos or updates throughout the day--either in the morning when we wake up and in the evening before bed--to provide the assurance mom and/or dad need for their babies. For cats, I typically make sure their litter boxes are cleaned out before bed, every night during my stay. To make sure the pets are comfortable with me, I usually like to request to see the pets a week before I am scheduled to watch them. For dogs: I will ask for the dog to be spayed or neutered. If the dog is reactive, I will not take them out on walks for both mine and the animal’s safety. However, like my own pet, I will designate a play time to help expend energy in the safety & familiarity of the home. For cats: it's really whatever the cat is comfortable with. I will make sure that they have a clean litter box every night. Regardless of pet, I make sure they are fed on time with fresh water available. To ensure a stress-free time while mom and/or dad are away, I am willing to adapt to cater to the pet's comfortability.
“Amazing house sitter! Extremely professional during the meet and great with Judy. Very communicative during our travels and she left our house cleaner than it was when we left.”
“Karci did a great job! I loved her attention to detail in asking and carrying out what our dog's routine and needs were. This helped maintain her days with consistently. Highly recommend her service.”

About: I have 7 years of experience dog sitting, providing dependable and loving care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with young puppies who need extra attention, patience, and training reinforcement, as well as adult dogs, including those that are spayed or neutered. I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m currently unemployed and have a flexible schedule while I look for work. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet, including morning, midday, and evening care. I can easily adapt to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs, making sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have two friendly dogs—a Golden Retriever and a Golden Lab mix—and ensure all pets are introduced safely and supervised. Pets in my care receive regular walks, playtime, and stay on their normal routines. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely, keep the space secure and clean, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve owned a Chihuahua, Beagle, and currently a dog mom to a 5 year old pitbull! So I’m comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, providing dependable, loving care every time. I am available Saturday-Tuesday full time. I am currently working Wednesday-Friday 7:30am-4pm, With a small window of availability for short 30min walk on my lunches between 12pm-12:30pm.

In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy while giving your pet consistent care and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well taken care of. During walks and visits, I focus on safety, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, while also making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they need active play or a slower, more relaxed pace.
“Allyson did a great job with 2 dogs and cat :) my smaller dog is particular about who he likes and he warmed up to her right away. She also did a great job with my older girl who takes a few medications and has some incontinence. Thanks, Allyson!”
“Moriah took such great care of my terrier, Junie. I was really nervous about having someone stay with him because he is very energetic and all around terrier in personality but Moriah was such a professional and I highly recommend her.”

Amy stayed with our dog for 6 nights and took amazing care of him. I was very nervous leaving our dog for one of the first times longer term but by the end of the first day I knew I could relax knowing he was in good hands! Highly recommend and am grateful for all she did for our dog.
Sarah was wonderful when watching my senior cat, George. I was super nervous about leaving my cat alone for a few days but Sarah provided George with so much companionship and love. It made me feel so much better about going on my trip. And I know George appreciated the comfort with Sarah there. Thank you so much!
Would highly recommend using Daniel and Haruka for any dog sitting needs! They were so excellent during our 5 night house sitting providing daily updates and photos for us. They followed every recommendation for our dog, were easy to communicate with and even helped water my plants.
Shawna was FANTASTIC. I cannot say enough great things about her, she did same day booking with only a few hours notice. My pups loved her and I hope she comes back to dog sit for us soon! She also sent multiple updates and pictures of them during her time with them. An absolute gem!
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.
Morgan was a fantastic choice! Even with a short notice booking she made time to come meet our pets before hand. We returned to happy pets and a tidy home. Communication was top notch. We received updates and photos regularly. Morgan was also quick to respond when we would reach out to her. Highly recommend!
Aniyah was absolutely amazing with our puppy! I really can’t say enough good things. She gave us so much peace of mind during our first trip away from our little boy. He stayed with her for a week and was happy as can be. I received several updates including pictures and video every day. She was so communicative and I took so much comfort in knowing that he was well cared for and safe! We will definitely be using her service again. Your pup will be in great hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vacaville on Rover is $44.7 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,339 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.
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 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 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 Vacaville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
