About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, from fostering puppies and kittens from the animal shelter to raising many dogs and cats! My family raised me to be an animal lover as we care for animals in such a different way. I have done overnight sittings, walkings, and day care visits for many friends and family and decided to join here to expand my abilities! I love getting to know all different kinds of animals and being able to provide them the love and care they need while their owners are away. I am currently going to start sonography school and I am not able to work a full-time job as a result I would love to watch your babies.I usually like to go for walks so it would be easy to fit any animal in my schedule as well! I have a big teddy bear of a dog that is the most spoiled rescue dog ever! If i am staying at the owners house I let them feel comfortable sleeping with me and I always clean up after myself if at someone else’s house and make sure to always keep the house tidy!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets! I’ve also taken 2 years of Ag Chem/Bio and another 2 years of Vet Science in high school, where we learned how to do basic CPR, nail trimmings, interact with various animals, and so much more! I’m free at anytime (10am - whenever) until further notice! So I’ll have plenty of time to play/interact with your animals, weekdays and weekends if needed! Can’t wait to meet your pets!! I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention as my own. Your pet’s safety is my most top priority; I always keep doors closed, monitor feeding and bathroom breaks, and follow all instructions! I’ll also keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior and health, and will contact you immediately if anything seems off.
About: I'm a believer in blessings of a dog. I know I've got they're blessings when I feel I can understand them. Even though they can't speak but if you listen with your heart you'll hear what they're saying. Taking care of dogs comes naturally and without a doubt I will make a connection with your fur baby. You will have no worries while I take good care of your fur baby. I currently stay home and take care of my 10 year old daughter Kiara and 5 year old Norfolk terrier Dog Thomas. I have a huge back yard where your dog can play and a cozy home where your fur baby can rest and sleep. My yard is fenced to keep your dog safe inside and play all they want without any worries. I can easily crate your dog if needed or a lot of space for a bed for them to sleep in.

I, Wendy, am a baker and dog lover! I work for a day care in the mornings and a bakery on the weekends.

I have a small crate and XL crate if needed. I also have a dedicated dog room with a gate indoors. I will make sure your dog feels safe and secure at all times.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.

And I live with my partner so someone is always home I have a fenced yard, I also have to dogs to keep your company, someone is always home to keep an extra eye on your fur baby.
“I had a great experience with this sitter! Antonio was so nice and responsive, keeping me updated throughout the stay. The pups were clearly well taken care of and happy. He left the house clean and followed instructions provided. Will definitely be using Antonio again!”
About: I have been taking care of pets (none professional) since I was in diapers, I also currently volunteer at Antioch Animal Shelter. I have more experience with pets 1 year+ but I’m comfortable with younger pets as well. I do have another job but we get to pick our own schedules so there will be no issues there. I can work with your schedule I treat pet sitting like babysitting, your baby, your rules. Whatever you decide for your pet is what I will do no questions asked. I would never want to come into someone else’s home and change the way you do things. If there is anything I’m uncomfortable with I will be sure to communicate it effectively and immediately.
“Paulo stayed with our babies for a little over a week. They both have health issues that can be annoying to anyone and I felt like they were being loved while I was gone. He was very communicative while we were away and I had peace of mind knowing what was going on. He sent a lot of videos of the dogs having a great time, and he asked questions when they were doing abnormal things. He even went out of his way to pick up a heavy bag of dog food because I hadn’t planned their food very well. And he restocked other things in the house that I didn’t expect him to like doggy wipes and paper towels. On top of that he washed all of the sheets and blankets before I got back. Thank you Paulo 😊”
About: Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, I've always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for them. For the past six months, I've volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I've helped care for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes by feeding, cleaning, walking, socializing, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I'm patient, dependable, and treat every pet like they're my own. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are in the care of trustworthy people, and I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care at every visit. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I'll make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and exercise they need while you're away. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for both of us. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner's care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special routines. Through my volunteer experience at an animal shelter, I've learned how to safely handle dogs with different personalities and needs. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they're in caring, trustworthy hands.
“Mike stayed with both of our pups while my husband and I had an overnight and did a great job. Our puppy can be a handful and our older girl suffers from some anxiety… both pups have looked for him every morning! He is very attentive with both dogs and is very patient with all of my instructions😀 we will continue to have Mike watch our babies… pretty soon he may be their favorite human!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Antioch
Anaya is an amazing pup sitter! She was able to accommodate our booking with less than a 2day notice. She was prompt and so kind at our meet and greet. Our dogs have separation anxiety, are skittish and pretty high maintenance with feeding. It was a pleasant surprise to see our dogs warm up to Anaya so quickly. We came home after almost a week long trip to a spotless home and happy, well fed dogs and fishies! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANAYA!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Antioch on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,262 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Antioch. 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 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.
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 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 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 Antioch. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
