“Tanaiia loves animals and she's an exceptional dog boarder!! She gave Cosmo his own vacation, took care of him with such attention to detail and gave me regular updates throughout his stay. I'm so grateful and relieved that l found Tanaiia because Cosmo has a safe place to stay away from home now with a great environment where he'll be well taken care of!!”
“This was my dog’s first time in a new home, and Marilu made me feel completely at ease. She took so much time and care to make sure my dog felt welcomed and comfortable. I truly appreciated the daily updates and photos—seeing my dog so happy and relaxed meant the world to me. Marilu has such a kind and loving soul, and her two dogs are some of the friendliest I've ever met. She did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter. She's awesome!”
“MoMo was very happy to see Alejandra and clearly enjoyed his weekend with her, Nemo, and her husband! He was comfortable in their home and settled in easily for his first overnight stay away from me. I appreciate them taking good care of him.”
“Carlos and his wife cared wonderfully for our two little girls. I was so hesitant to travel without them, but I knew plane travel would be so stressful for cats. Carlos regularly sent updates and pictures, letting us know how they were doing and how they were settling in. I am so glad they had fun at Camp Carlos while we were away, it was definitely much better for them then being boarded at a facility where they would be caged all day. He was flexible and super easy to work with to boot. Thank you Carlos for caring so well for our kitties while we were away!”
“Anton took excellent care of our dogs. He consistently updated us with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated his attentiveness and dedication.”
“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Cindy was an amazing host to our Riley girl! I appreciated the communication, time taken to walk her and give love. Riley was a happy girl and we are happy parents. We’ll be coming back in the future. Highly recommended!”

About: Your Peace of Mind Vacation Starts Here!! As a fellow pet parent, I completely understand the knot in your stomach when you pack your bags. You aren't just looking for a pet sitter—you’re looking for someone you and your dog can completely trust. That is exactly why I do this. For over five years, I have opened my home to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and life stages—from the high-energy chaos of a new puppy to the gentle, slow-paced routines of sweet senior dogs. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t guests; they instantly become a cherished part of our family. Because I am home full-time, your pup gets round-the-clock companionship and real, dedicated attention. My schedule is wide open, meaning my availability is highly reliable. Your dog will never be left waiting or wondering. They will have a built-in playmate in my own friendly dog, and we will keep active with tailored walks suited exactly to their age and energy level. I promise your dog will be cared for deeply and treated with the highest level of caution and safety. To keep you connected to all the fun, you can expect an abundance of photo and video updates while you enjoy your vacation. Go travel freely and explore the world, knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved right here at home. Dogs are part of my daily rhythm, not an add-on. My mornings start with Veera's walk and breakfast, and any guest dog joins right in. I fit in play, potty breaks, and cuddle time around my day, and evenings are for a relaxed walk, dinner, and winding down together. On weekends, we go on longer adventures, like park trips, sniff-filled walks, and plenty of couch time. I keep each dog's routine as close to home as possible, including feeding times, walks, and meds. You'll get photo and video updates throughout the day, so you always know how they're doing. In my home (boarding and day care): Your dog joins my family, not a kennel. They get a comfy spot to sleep, fresh water, and meals on your schedule. We start with a calm introduction to my home and to Veera, so they can settle at their own pace. Every day includes walks, play, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddle time. I follow your routine for feeding, meds, and bedtime so things feel familiar. In your home (house sitting and drop-ins): I keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible, with feeding, walks, play, and a little extra love. I'll tidy up after us and leave your home as I found it. Always: You'll get photo and video updates, I'll never leave a dog in distress, and I'll contact you right away if anything seems off
About: Married couple with two helpful teens and a really cool Siberian Husky. My background working with animals includes the Kauai Humane Society where I spent over a decade caring/training and assisting the Vet clinic. I worked independently doing in house visits and I also boarded pets in our home. I can administer meds and have experience with injections. I will not board more one dog unless it is part of your pack. Your pup or pups will be exclusively with Kano only. I work from home. Between my husband and I we are always home. We do not leave dogs outside unattended or alone. We would provide 24 hour care in our quiet gated neighborhood. Fenced yard with artificial grass for potty. We will always supervise your best friends and treat them like family. We always supervise Kano when he is outside. Walks are a must for our Husky so if your pup is willing Kano is a go.
“Our 18 month old black lab had the best time with Peter and Sara. He is a quarantine puppy, so we were nervous about his first night away. He came home happy and exhausted. Always great to have a place to leave your fur babies!”
“Anu did an awesome job watching our two puppies for a week while on vacation. She was great at communicating and sending us pictures to keep us posted on the fur babies. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve doggy sat other pups from age 10 years old until now (I’m 40). I’ve owned two pets in my life. Yorkshire Terrier (17 years RIP) and now currently my Bernese Mountain Dog I’m currently unemployed so always available! My previous job was work from home 5 days a week. I walk my dog 3x a day to get him outside! I have a fenced backyard and a walking path / trail nearby my house that I can easily take your dog on a long walk!
“This is the first time I’ve taken the time to review anyone or anything. I could not be more pleased with the way Tiger was treated or in the way we were informed by photos and movies on his routine while he was in Sally’s care. While reviewing her correspondence I was telling me daughter the he wasn’t going to want to come home he was having so much fun. I plan on using Sally’s services every time we plan a trip. I know Tiger will be well taken care of and we will be well informed of his daily activities.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Antioch
We had such a wonderful experience with Ishwori taking care of our sweet Nova! ❤️ It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Nova was in such loving and caring hands while we were away. We truly appreciate all the love, attention, and patience Ishwori showed her, especially making sure she received her medications on time. It meant so much to us knowing Nova was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Thank you, Ishwori, for treating Nova like family! 🐾💕 We highly recommend Ishwori to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter. We would absolutely trust her with Nova again!
My dog absolutely loves Mark. The moment I say, “We’re going to see Mark,” Charlie runs straight to the car, that alone says everything. We live far away, but I happily drive the distance because Mark is the only person I truly trust with my Charlie. The bond they have is so special, and you can clearly see the love, care, and patience Mark gives. Thank you, Mark, for taking such wonderful care of Charlie. It truly means everything to us😊
Sabrina and Upakar have been the best sitters for our fur babies, Luke, Miyuki and Milo. I received daily videos on their stay with them. They accommodated the space for our Luke because he has anxiety being away from home. Sabrina and Upakar made sure our fur babies were played with and felt at home away from home. They followed feeding schedules and potty times when needed for the pups to go outside. We will definitely refer and reach out to have then care for our fur babies again. We only want the best watching our babies and that’s the exact care given to Luke, Miyuki and Milo. I am grateful we found them. Luke needed to take 1 med every evening during feeding time and that was done. We will be reaching out to have Sabrina and Upakar watch over our fur babies again. So happy we no longer have to worry about care for our pups while we are away.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Antioch can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Antioch home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Antioch.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Antioch. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
You and your Antioch sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
