“This was our first time booking Eliana, and she was great! She sent us a few updates and photos each day which was perfect, and she left our house clean and tidy. Our dog can be a little tricky to walk and she handled him really well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or hire her again! Thank you Eliana!!! 🙂”
About: I’ve been caring for friends and neighbors dogs for years now. I’ve never had the opportunity to have a dog myself so I live vicariously through taking care of others dogs! I’m currently a college student and I’m available to work weekends and even nights. Right now I’m on summer break so my availability is pretty open! I’m very flexible with what is best for the dog/for the client in their home. I’ll make sure the dog won’t be able to get out and will keep a watchful eye.
“Katie is a true “dog person”. She was unfazed by our boxers’ exuberant greetings and quickly developed a rapport with them. Her communication and attention to care is outstanding. Our dogs were very relaxed and happy when we returned.”
“Xaniah took wonderful care of our two dogs, Ella and Mia, while we were away on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We especially appreciated all of the photo updates throughout our trip—they made it so much easier to relax knowing our girls were happy and doing well. Thank you for taking such great care of them! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and highly recommend Xaniah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable following feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care instructions. I’ll treat your dog with care and respect, keep you updated, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship, and I can follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I live in a comfortable apartment with a good-sized patio and access to a dog park inside my apartment community for walks, exercise, and playtime. I also have a very friendly and loving Golden Retriever who enjoys having other dogs around. I always supervise pets carefully, follow the owner’s instructions, and make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.
“Dorothy is the best! The moment Dorothy walked in the door, she demonstrated a calm and professionalism that was comforting to us. Having someone in our home that is unknown to us is very uncomfortable. We never felt uncomfortable with Dorothy. Dorothy treated our peta with respect and was attentive to their needs. Dorothy is also a very respectful visitor, cleaning after herself and treating our home like her own. Dorothy also sent great pictures of the fur babies during her stay. We will be repeat customers. Thank you Dorothy!”
“Kathleen is the best dog and house-sitter! Her love and attention to detail is truly unparalleled. During the time Nike was in her care, she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent daily photos and updates. This was not our first time using her and she kept all our info and followed every instruction we left her the first time. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I have been working with dogs and cats for about 8 years. and have also help my mom out at the human society as well and the vet hospital I am available anytime any day whenever it’s convenient for you and your schedule to drop off your dog or cat it’s fine with me I can promise that your pet will be in good hands and a loving and safe environment I can send pics and answer texts messages at any time.
“Melany pet sat my four animals for me for an overnight. She was easy to communicate with before the sit, took lots of cute pictures during, and left my house very clean. I came home to happy animals all around. Would highly recommend for any of your needs on Rover!”
About: I started taking care of dogs a few years ago and it’s the best thing I ever did. I’ve taken care of older ones who need specific medication and younger ones who are filled with energy! It’s always fun getting to know a dog’s personality which I have gotten a lot better at especially when knowing if they are uncomfortable or if they feel safe in certain situations. My experience has allowed me to make smart decisions when caring for dogs and giving them the care you would while you’re away from them:). I’m currently working part time in Walnut Creek so I have a lot of time to head over to take your dog out for a walk or potty break or even around the clock care! I update my availability weekly based off of my schedule and I’m truly flexible to make you feel comfortable and know that your dog is in the best care! When I arrive at a house I like to pay attention to my surroundings when I get in a neighborhood. Are there active people running and walking, are there a lot of dogs being taken on a walk, how’s the weather. I think all of these are really important when caring for a dog. I do the same thing in homes especially outside areas. Certain plants they should stay away from, possible exits that could be dangerous for them. Listening to what you guys to keep your dog safe is very important for me in order to build trust and for you guys to know they dog is being left in great hands!
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have over 2 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. My experience ranges from caring for high energy foster puppies who require lots of play time and long walks to providing more patient gentle care to calm senior dogs who just want to be in your company. I am extremely reliable, passionate and trustworthy. I currently work full time in the wine industry and am off from work at around 4:00 pm daily. I am free any day of the week for afternoon walks and care! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow your instructions carefully and diligently for feeding, watering, walking etc… Each visit includes a walk, potty break and dedicated play time. I also ensure your home remains tidy and secure while you’re away.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and have volunteered at shelters and adoption events like Rocket Dog Rescue and Pets Lifeline since I was a kid. Through this rescue work, I am experienced in safe new dog introductions and behavioral de-escalation. I adopted my current dog at an event I was working and raised her as my emotional support animal on my busy college campus, which taught me how to keep pets grounded in stimulating environments. She is fantastic with small dogs, so if your little ones stay with us, they will have a friendly companion. Whether you have a big breed, a timid rescue, or an independent cat, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them while you are away. I just finished my masters program so I currently have a highly flexible schedule, meaning I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My weekends are sometimes eventful, but my weeks are free for some furry love! I live in a cozy condo in Sonoma with my dog. While I don't have a private yard, I have a beautiful porch perfect for afternoon sunbathing. Safety is my top priority, so dogs are only ever allowed on the porch when I am home and actively supervising them. To make up for the lack of a yard, I go on frequent adventures! My dog and I regularly visit the lovely park just around the corner to run and search for lizards, and we love walking the perimeter of the Sonoma Square for people watching.
About: I’m new to Rover but I, like so many others on here love animals! I have 2 dogs, an 8 year old tiny yet mighty Chihuahua and a 3 year old energetic and loving Border Collie. These two crazy boys have helped me learn that no two dogs are the same but a few things that they do have in common is their need for patient, loving, and understanding care takers. Dogs are the main animals that I’ve had the opportunity to care for, from chihuahuas to German shepherds but I’ve also had some clients with fish and turtles that needed boarding as well. I currently work at my administrative job 3 times a week and I’m looking for a fun way to spend my off days! My schedule is very flexible and I’m open to working around your pets routine! Most of my pet-sitting services take place in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible while providing them with plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I also provide regular walks and engaging outdoor activities to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. Every pet is treated as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have had dogs since I was 7 and Cats since I can remember. I am happy to assist with pet-sitting, midday care, and walking. I currently have flexible, open availability and would be happy to provide dependable, attentive care for your pets according to their individual needs and routines. I provide attentive, individualized pet care in each client’s home, following the pet’s normal routine for feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, medication instructions when provided, litter-box or waste cleanup, and plenty of companionship. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, including updates so clients know their pets are comfortable and well cared for. I do not provide boarding, kennel services, or pet care at my own residence.

Wonderful sitter! She was professional, detail-oriented, and so kind and patient with our puppy. Even when our puppy gave her a few challenges, she handled everything calmly and kept us well informed. We’d absolutely have her back. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our puppy!
Aimee is a true gem. Her presence is so calming and reassuring to both of us and our boy. I wasn't nervous at all to be away. She sent wonderful pictures that are professional quality. If you need an awesome pet sitter, Aimee is your answer. I just can't say enough about her.

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 American Canyon 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 American Canyon 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 American Canyon 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.
