“This was my 2nd time booking with Alejandra to check in with my puppy for 30 mins while I was at my office all day. Alejandra is so sweet and caring, my boy MoMo loves her so much! TYSM for taking such good care of him and accommodating all my requests! ❤️❤️❤️”
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.
“My dog Kashew immediately loved Ann. She did a great job and is clearly great with animals! Kashew is epileptic and I felt comfortable leaving him with her if he had had a seizure.”
“Cindia was great looking after our two cats when we had to go out of town on short notice. She was flexible as our plans changed and we were confident that our kitties were being well taken care of. We will definitely use Cindia again to watch our two cats without worry knowing that some one caring is looking after them.”
“Jazelyn took great care of my two cats and also my plants. She was great with communicating and sending pictures. She cleaned the litter, washed the cat bowls, and I returned home to two happy cats. Would definitely book with Jazelyn again.”
About: I’ve had no less than 3 dogs and as many as 5 for the last 25 years. All things dog put me in my happy place and I’d love to help you out with yours. I’ve had puppies and seniors and everything in between. I work part time so I’m semi flexible. Tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to make it work. I’d love to add to my end of week and weekend work. I have a fully fenced backyard and a separate fenced side yard. Both have shady areas. I also don’t mind having pets in my home so I’d imagine they would be inside with me the majority of the time. I’m also open to whatever you need for your pet in your home.
“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’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. I grew up with dogs, took care of family and friends dogs. Currently I have 2 well behaved pups. I’ll have plenty of time available playing and taking care of your pups. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. We can’t wait to meet you! I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I can easily create if needed. We love to meet new pups and are very welcoming.
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: I have pet sitted for many years , my family and friends animals. Most dogs and cats love me and are very receptive of me. I only work part time so I am available in the mornings and the evenings to walk your dog or feed your animals . 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I am very consistent with daily feedings and petting and cleaning all dogs and cats
“Joanne was fantastic and cared so lovingly for my Shepherd. She was prompt and thorough, following all of my requests, and additionally sent pics of my dog during her visit. When we did our meet and greet, I could clearly see she has a great temperament for caring for animals and my dog loved her. I could not have been happier and will definitely ask her again to care for my dog.”
About: Hi! My name is Kelvin, and I'm here to help make sure your beloved pets are cared for with the highest level of attention and love. 🐾 I enjoy answering your questions—and asking a few of my own—to better understand your pet’s unique personality and needs. I'm really looking forward to meeting your dog, and so is my own furry friend, Eevee! She just turned 4 years old and she is spayed! My goal is simple: after a fun and fulfilling walk, your dog will be happy, relaxed, and ready to rest for the rest of the day. Eevee and I are excited to get to know you and your pet. See you soon! I would love the opportunity to dog sit or walk dogs in the mornings through early afternoon, if possible. I'm available Monday through Friday until 2:30 PM. I coach at Jefferson High School in Daly City and need to be there in the afternoons. I have a house with a backyard and a spacious living room where my dog and your dog(s) can play together. I'm also happy to take your dog on long walks with my dog, Eevee, so everyone gets plenty of exercise and is tired out for the rest of the day! Our walks often include hills and trails, offering lots of great sniffing opportunities.

About: 🐾Love By Pets. Recommended by humans. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and care levels. Improving the lives of animals is my passion. Every pet that enters my care is treated like family, receiving the same love, patience, respect, protection and individualized attention I would want for my own beloved pets. Whether you have a puppy, a fragile senior, a pregnant or nursing mother, a shy rescue, or a pet with medical, behavioral, or anxiety-related challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, enriching, stress-free and FUN experience that allows pets to thrive while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ✨ Experience Includes: • All ages. Puppies, kittens (bottle feeding ok 👍🏻), seniors, and hospice care • Pregnant animals and nursing mothers • Medication administration and specialized care plans • Medical, behavioral, and anxiety-related conditions • Fearful, reactive, rescue, and special-needs pets • Giant breeds (120–200+ lbs), toy breeds, and everything in between • Bully breeds, guardian breeds, working dogs, and high-drive breeds • Exotic and specialty felines • Birds, reptiles, and small animals • Multi-pet households My experience extends far beyond traditional pet sitting. I have spent years working with animal rescues and participating in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cat programs, helping care for and advocate for vulnerable animals. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, trust-building, and how to safely handle pets with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I have also been honored to participate in efforts supporting families through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including helping facilitate meaningful visits for children whose wish was to spend time with animals and pets. These experiences further strengthened my commitment to compassion, reliability, and providing comfort during life’s most meaningful moments. Caring for others—both human and animal—is at the heart of everything I do. Communication is one of my highest priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved. 💗 What Makes My Care Different? • Personalized, one-on-one attention for the duration • Flexible and accommodating scheduling • Solo daycare available upon request • Extended stays welcome • Customized routines tailored to your pet • Calm, loving, family-oriented environment • Experience with pets requiring advanced handling skills • Care from someone who genuinely loves animals and understands their individual needs Many of my clients become long-term members of my pet-care family. I’m proud to have earned the trust of repeat clients who rely on me to care for everything from tiny teacups and exotic pets to giant breeds, working dogs, bully breeds, seniors, rescues, and pets with complex medical or behavioral needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. That’s why I focus on building trust, maintaining open communication, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, understood, and loved from the moment they arrive. I look forward to welcoming your furry, feathered, or scaly family member and giving them the same level of care, compassion, and attention I would give my own. Because every pet deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve family. 🐾💕 My schedule revolves around pet care already. Caring for animals has been a major part of my daily life for many years through pet care/sitting/walking etc, animal rescue work, and caring for my own pets. While your pet is with me, this is their time and all of my focus and attention is on them for the duration of the booking. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, companionship, medication administration when needed, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a flexible schedule, or specialized care, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animal’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, fears, quirks, and any special instructions. Owner guidance and instructions are key to providing the best possible booking and any information provided will be followed closely (and greatly appreciated!). One thing that sets my care apart is that I do not use kennels or crates unless they are already part of your pet’s normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and at home—not confined unnecessarily. For families looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer accommodations such as Private Doggy Daycare, Private Kitty Daycare, Private Canine Camp, and Private Kitty Camp, where your pet can be the only guest in my care for the duration of their stay. I am always happy to discuss special requests and customize care whenever possible. Whether caring for a tiny breed, a giant breed, a working dog, a bully breed, a senior pet, or a rescue animal with unique needs, safety, comfort, and individualized attention always come first.
About: I have two dogs, one who I am currently going through the process of behavioral modification and one who recently crossed the rainbow bridge in February. At home I have always been the caretaker giving them food, cleaning after them, bathing them, and seeking medical advice if I noticed something was off. I’m generally detail oriented and I enjoy spending time with dogs. I also have had other pets as well including fish, chickens, and canaries so I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I try to research any of the problems they experience myself and come up with a course of action with how to deal with them keeping in mind costs, effectiveness, and safety. My dogs are my running buddies and when I have the chance I like going hiking with them, taking them to swim, and even sitting around a campfire with them. I’m currently a pre-health student who’s going to be available on weekends, mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and soon I will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays in the afternoon. I am on a weight loss journey so it helps me to excercise your dog too. Depending on the day and on the pets needs I would give them potty breaks. As for water it’s better to wait until after they get back home and cool down from the walk so they don’t get gastric dialiation, unless they really need it.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Antioch is $28
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Antioch
Yushan was just wonderful in the quality of care and service she provided to our 4 cats. She is very communicative, follows care instructions very well, and was punctual and thoughtful in the visits that she did with us. She is also a very thoughtful person. I would rehire her for future drop in visits in a heartbeat.
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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $50 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 November 2026, there are 6,223 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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
- 89% 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.
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.
