“I highly recommend Ann! She took amazing care of my two dogs while I was on vacation and she truly went above and beyond. She played with them, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly kind and professional. She gave several updates every day with the best pictures of the dogs. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I appreciate her genuine care and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Hunter was absolutely amazing. We did a meet and greet with our dogs because which went okay and then unfortunately they freaked out a bit when it came time for Hunter to watch them. Thankfully, Hunter was amazing, calm, kind and stuck through it with our babies. They kept us updated the entire time we were gone, sent us photos and videos and made sure we knew what was happening etc. I would trust my dogs (and cat!) with them any time.”
“Another amazing housesitting stay for our 3 pups! We reached out last minute when our first human baby decided to make her grand entrance to the world earlier than expected and are just so grateful our pups got to be cared for by Antonio again. He truly takes care of our pups as if they are his own and his willingness AND ability to accommodate whatever might come up for them means so much to my family! Thank you, Antonio!”
About: I currently have a dog and have had another dog previously. I currently work in special education and also support my mother who has progressing dementia. I intend on making sure needs are being met while maintaining and building relationships. I’m working full time as a teacher and going to school full-time. I currently walk my dog the morning before going to work and when I arrive home. I’m flexible on the weekends and some week days. Since I work for the school I get a lot of holidays and week breaks, so I am able to have more availability. I ensure their needs are met by taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring they’re using the bathroom. I also give baths to keep them smelling fresh.
“I’ve known Vicky for sometime now and she’s always been mature, responsible and a pet lover. So when I found out she does pet sitting, it was a no brainer that I’d be booking with her. She was communicative and was definitely invested in caring for my cats. Especially my senior who requires oral meds. My youngest cat warmed up to her so quickly to my surprise!! Definitely will book with her again.”
About: I helped my parents take care of there friends dogs since I was 8 and they've taught me a lot. Also my mom worked at Petco and worked in animal care and she told me and taught me what she's learned from her experience at work with cats and other animals. I've been currently looking for a job and havent had any luck so I have a lot of free time on my hands weekdays and weekends!! When we went to go sit my parents friends dogs we would feed them every morning and evening and then let them run around in the backyard they had a doggie door in their bedroom so for the most part the dogs had access to the bathroom to go potty and come and go as they please. But when we hung out in the living room with them since there was no access to a doggy door we would let them out around 3-4 times per day we would also walk them in the morning and sunset and feed them either before or after there walk depending on their actions and vibes

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Antioch
Destiny and Treonna were prompt, professional and total dog whisperers. Our little guy is a sweetheart but still adjusting to his forever home and they showed him patience and showered him with love. When we came home to our happy little guy they had peaceful music playing and the house looked great. 10/10 will hire them again soon!
Aurianna was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Max! She stayed at our home for 5 days and took such wonderful care of both Max and our house. She was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive, and Max was so comfortable with her that it honestly seemed like he didn’t even miss us! She walked Max twice a day, brushed him, fed him exactly as instructed, and gave him lots of love and attention. She also treated our home with the same care and respect as her own. She kept everything clean and neat, took out the trash, and even took care of little chores around the house. Everything looked just as we had left it when we returned. We especially appreciated how consistently she kept us updated with texts and adorable pictures of Max. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Max was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved having Aurianna around. She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Fantastic service we will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter! Aurianna is truly a gem! 🐾❤️
Carla was absolutely amazing with Snoop! She stayed in our home for a full week and went above and beyond in every way. She kept up with his training, walked him regularly, played with him, and truly gave him so much love and attention. Our home was left spotless, and we felt completely at ease the entire time thanks to her frequent updates and tons of photos. It was clear Snoop was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re incredibly impressed and grateful for the care she provided. We will 100% be using Carla again and give her our highest recommendation and rating.
Excellent service! Jaz did such an amazing job taking care of our dogs at our home. The dogs felt very comfortable around Jaz and they had a great time together. Jaz always kept us updated and informed and she was very diligent about it. We appreciate her a lot and would highly recommend 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 Antioch 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 Antioch 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 Antioch 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
