About: I had a chihuahua for 11 years and have been around pets for my whole life. Always willing to learn and grow with new experiences. Becoming a full-time college student soon but I will make time for your amazing pets! I will communicate with you if there are any schedule conflicts to address. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot thank Paulo enough. I was returning home from an out of town work trip & due to a unforeseen circumstances with another pet caregiver I became extremely concerned about my Marley. I reached out in a panic, and he responded with compassion, professionalism, and a true sense of urgency.Knowing how worried I was, he headed over promptly, kept me updated, and provided immediate reassurance. Seeing Marley happy, safe, and wagging her tail after her walk brought me so much relief, and I am incredibly grateful for the kindness and care he showed during a very stressful situation. Paulo fit us into a busy schedule and showed genuine concern and understanding. His responsiveness, reliability, and willingness to step in quickly meant more than I can express. I would absolutely trust him with Marley again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about animals and their owners.”
“Eleanor did an amazing job with my dog, Bruno! We were out of town for 5 days and she went above and beyond for us. Our main need was dog walks but also we asked for her to help water the plants, feed our dog and make sure he has water and put our trash bins on the curb on trash day. She was amazing and so helpful with eve we asked. 100% recommend her! Thank you, Eleanor!!”
About: I have been taking good care of puppies, young and senior dogs for over 20 years with lots of good care and great love and dignity I am currently not working so I’m available mostly all day from 8 am until 6 pm having plenty of time to care for your pet as I they were mine! Currently I’m only available to take care and watch your pet at your own house, play with them in your house or in your back yard or walk them around your own neighborhood!
About: I've been a dog and cat owner since I was a child. I started taking care of my friend's dogs about 5 years ago. I would stay the night as well as visit them to let them outside. She recently got a great dane puppy that I check in on to let out and watched him for a few hours while he was being trained. I also have helped my partner's dogs, one of which is very anxious, while their family was out of town. I watched them, played with them, cuddled, and fed them. I am in community college right now, so my availability is most open on the weekends, Friday-Sunday. However, I also have afternoon availability for walks, check ins, potty breaks, and play dates during the week! I love to play with small to big dogs and cats, and I can watch them if they need to be let out. I also follow feeding instructions very specifically and dutifully. I have experience crating big dogs that are already crate trained, and I have been learning in my free time how to place train my own dogs, so I can assist in that training if needed given instruction.
About: I've been Twixie's dog dad for six years, she's an SPCA rescue, so I know firsthand what it takes to help a dog feel safe, loved, and settled into a new routine from day one. I've trained her myself from scratch, and she now knows sit, stay, stop, down, roll over, high five, and even "boop," so I'm comfortable working through training and behavior, not just basic care. I also took care of family dogs growing up in young adulthood, so I'm used to adjusting to another dog's habits and quirks, not just my own. Beyond hands-on care, I compile videos of my dog, so paying close attention to dogs all day isn't a chore for me, it's already how I spend my time. Pet care is a genuine priority for me right now, not something squeezed around a job. I'm reliably available from 10am to 3pm, which is plenty of time for walks, play, and attentive care without rushing anything. That's a consistent window you can actually count on, not just "whenever I have time." Your dog would be cared for at my house, which has a fully fenced backyard — plenty of safe space to run and play — plus a park right across the street for longer walks. My own dog Twixie, a friendly SPCA rescue, is there too, so your pup won't be alone, she's used to sharing space with other dogs. I'm also able to crate your dog if that's part of their routine or if you'd prefer it. I pay attention to each dog's own routine, feeding, and boundaries rather than treating every dog the same way.

About: Hiii I’m lucero:))! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love being around them. I’ve had a corgi before and know my way around an energetic dog if ykyk haha. But overall I love taking care of dogs , I’m someone who deeply cares in the importance of taking care of an animal since I’ve a had a dog before and have two cats of my own right now. My goal is to be able to provide a safe, loved, and comfortable environment for your dog while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is I’m patient and attentive. I take the time to build trust with each dog rather than expect that each dog will trust me instantly. I’ll follow instructions down to every detail and keep you updated! Those are aspects I really value too and will make it a priority for you:). I have open availability and able to provide weekly routines for your pet! I’m available for drop ins and pet sitting! Availability on weekdays and weekends at anytime!:) As a dog and cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone. I’ll provide a safe, loving environment, follow their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages.
“Carlos took great care of my kitty! He went out of his way to make her feel comfortable and to engage with her even though she gets nervous and a little demanding when I’m not around ? Carlos was very flexible with my changing plans and missing keys. Also, he’s a great photographer and I was delighted and surprised to see my cat looking Instagram-ready ? Thanks Carlos!!”
About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart since I was a little kid. I love being around and taking care of them. I’m a full time law clerk but have the availability to do walks or do drop ins after work on the weekdays and on the weekends. I would care for your dog as if he or she was my own. I would be attentive and caring and make sure his or her needs are being met. I would closely follow any specific instructions you might have.
About: Apart from raising my cat and I’ve also helped care for my friends’ and cousin’s, pets, including both cats and dogs. I’m great at communicating and giving updates to owners, and I will always ask a lot of questions for additional information needed for me to properly care for your pets. I currently have a lot of time on my hands so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your fuzzy friends! Note that sometimes my mom may also help me watch your dogs or cats. She’s a especially a huge dog person, and used to be a dog owner herself. She’ll be awesome at entertaining your puppers! :) I do have a fenced backyard, however some boards of the fences have been blown down and not fixed. Though, I would be happy to watch dogs in the backyard with a leash to ensure they won’t run off through the fence. If you’d like to drop your dog off for me to care for at my house, bringing their leash would be greatly appreciated! If I am petsitting at your house, I will follow all directions given by you, and will ask about instructions from you. If you have a routine with your pets, please let me know in advance as well!
“Kristina is very conscientious and eager to spend time with our two male cats at every drop-in visit! I really appreciate the thoughtful updates and photographs via Rover cards. Thanks again Kristina!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped family and friends by walking their dogs, providing drop-in visits, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, which allows me to provide morning visits before work, evening walks and drop-in visits after work, and flexible availability on weekends. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also respect your home by keeping it clean and secure. My goal is to give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve so you can have peace of mind.

Eleanor did an amazing job with my dog, Bruno! We were out of town for 5 days and she went above and beyond for us. Our main need was dog walks but also we asked for her to help water the plants, feed our dog and make sure he has water and put our trash bins on the curb on trash day. She was amazing and so helpful with eve we asked. 100% recommend her! Thank you, Eleanor!!
Dana was attentive, gentle, and genuinely connected with my kittens from the very beginning. She sent thoughtful updates and sweet photos every day, which made it easy to relax knowing my cats were comfortable and cared for. My female cat can be shy with new people, but she warmed up quickly thanks to the sitter’s patience and calm energy. I truly appreciate the compassion and reliability she brought to the job. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.
Wendy & Daniela are wonderful! They are both so kind, professional, and reliable. They asked great questions in advance, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Buddy in their care. I didn’t have to worry at all, they didn’t miss a beat! They sent pictures and updates and made sure Buddy had everything he needed. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again! ❤️
Absolutely amazing!! She did everything that was asked of her, including handling my baby’s post-surgery care with so much attention and compassion. Being away at a wedding, we felt completely comfortable knowing our babies were in such great hands. She kept us updated throughout each visit, sent lots of pictures, and gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust her with our pups again! 🐾🤍
If there was a way for me to give her 10 stars I would have done it right away . Rover is one of my very first experience hiring a professional pet sitter and it required a lot of if ands and butts before I picked Jazz but I was so glad that I did . The biggest thing for me was to trust someone with your whole home handing them the keys and hope for the best. I was going out of country for a full week and she was going to be my only resource to take care of my beloved cat . When I met Jazz for the very first time, there was a light of calm , kindness and professionalism that gave me a sigh of relief that said I know you are gonna be great and I’m not worried about it . She was kind very sweet asked questions and took away that weird feeling of meeting a stranger the very first time . She was punctual and did everything she could to not only take care of my very moody kitty but also sending pics to keep me at ease three continents away. I knew I had nothing to worry about ! I have found the best cat sitter I could ever hope for and I hope she accepts my request anytime I’m in need of pet care ! A+++ a true superstar!!!! Thank you jazz you are the best!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Antioch is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,211 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Antioch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Antioch. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
