About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up caring for pets of my own as well as family members’ dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I especially enjoy spending time with small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Pet care will be my full-time focus, so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to give each dog the attention and care they deserve. I’ll be available throughout the day for walks, feedings, potty breaks, bathing/cleaning, playtime, and companionship. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routines while giving them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I’ll take the time to learn each dogs personality, preferences, and routines and I’ll always approach them with patience and kindness so they feel comfortable and loved while in my care. I typically only care for one dog at a time for overnight stays so I can give them my full attention and make sure they get the individualized care they need. If siblings are coming from the same family, I’m happy to care for them together. I want every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🫶🏼

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, from furry friends to reptiles, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or just needs someone patient and reliable to care for them, I’m happy to provide the attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always care for them with the same love and dedication I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pets! When you book with me, you can expect dependable, loving care for your pets while you’re away. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from furry friends to reptiles and even slithering companions—so I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves personalized attention. Because I have my own wonderful crew of animals at home, I’m unable to offer overnight stays or boarding in my home. However, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and attentive care to make sure your pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll treat your pets like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved companion is a big decision, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic care, or providing plenty of playtime and affection, I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive, individualized care. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress experience where your pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for until you return home.

About: I work as an assistant at a vet clinic, meaning I know how to handle medically and behaviorally demanding animals. I’ve been pet sitting for many years, from puppies to large dogs and many species, even once a squirrel. Pet care fits into my schedule around my work at the clinic. I have a lunch break during which I can drop in and let out dogs for a midday potty break, or if they can’t go longer than 4-6 hours alone, I can bring them with me to work. I have a lot of experience with animals because I work at a clinic. I believe each pet has individual needs specific to them and that they should deserve care tailored to them. My time at the clinic means I know what to look out for in the case of medical emergencies and allows me easy access to a medical provider for your pet.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

“Toni did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our dogs! She communicated wonderfully throughout her stay and was attentive to their needs. She made sure they got plenty of walks, attention, and quality time, and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She stripped the guest bed and put the sheets and towels in the washer, washed the dishes, and kept everything clean. Toni was wonderful to work with, and we truly appreciated the care she gave to both our dogs and our home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be working with her again in the future!”

About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Antioch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,371 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.

<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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Antioch. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
