“Yesenia was such a gift to us. She gave excellent care to our shy, senior dog. Yesenia was punctual with the meds and had such great communication with us (and really eased my worries about leaving our girl). I was so grateful that Yesenia bonded with our Lucy the way she did. It’s rare that our pup would feel so comfortable with someone so quickly. Yesenia also took great care of our home. I highly recommend Yesenia.”
“April did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and photos and made us feel very comfortable that our pets were in good hands, allowing us to really enjoy our vacation without worry.”
“Amanda did a great job caring for my two old ladies and taking care of my home. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept in touch while I was away, kept my plants alive, left my house clean, and my girls were happy!”
About: Hi everyone! I love all animals! Your pet and I will definitely have a great time together! I am trying to become a veterinarian in the future and this is a great start for me! I have a park that is a 5 minute walk from my house and I have a huge yard for any pet that likes outside activities. I can care for disabled pets and older pets as well. I have always wanted to live in a farm because of all the animals but this is close enough for me haha! I have a dog of my own and he will love the extra company and play time. Be certain that I will care for your pet like it is my own! Thank you for reading!
“Virginia was terrific. Lucy has to warm up to people. She warmed up to Virginia quickly. I will not hesitate having Virginia stay with Lucy in the future. My home was clean and picked up beautifully and Lucy was very happy too! Great experience!”
“This is the second time Brooke watched my girls for me, she’s great! Olive was diagnosed with an ear infection just a couple of days before I left town and Brooke did a fantastic job making sure she got her ear drops every day. Also, she sends me the best puppy pictures🩷”
“Jovelle took such wonderful care of our pets while we went out of town for a long weekend. She kept us updated on our pup multiple times a day and sent so many photos (which were greatly appreciated!). We would hire Jovelle to watch our pets again in a heartbeat. Thank you so so much!”
About: It started when I got my first dog when I was 11, but even before that I was always so passionate about animals. After my first dog I knew I wanted to expand my experience with animals and show them my love and care for them. Since then I’ve been taking any chance I get for even the smallest to the biggest opportunity with animals. I have fostered puppies and cared for many of my family, friends, and the fur babies of the people around my area! I love how every dog has its own story and personality, you never know what to expect. I love seeing the way they express happiness and seeing the bright and happy look on their furry faces. So I’m doing what I’ve always loved, giving furry babies the happiness and enrichment they all deserve, no matter through what way. Im a freshman in college with plenty of free time, I have an easy schedule due having morning classes and im looking to have this as a part time job. I’m looking forward to the hands-on experience with your fur babies! I’ll gladly do all of the basic needs such as feeding, playing, walking and keeping ur dog company for the entire day if needed, I’ll happily take any strict instructions on what’s expected and need for your dog!
“Sydney was the best host I could possibly ask for. She kept my puppy for two days, and because of her frequent updates and pictures I was able to spend time with my family overseas stress-free. I know I’ve found someone I can trust for a long time with my fur-baby, I hope you too will give Sydney a chance. Tbh I didn’t want to leave such a glowing review for her because I know she’ll be booked out for the rest of the year then - she’s a hidden gem, you truly wont regret having her be your pet’s caretaker. Thank you again for your help, I really really appreciate it Sydney”
“Tracy watched our two dogs over a weekend and she did great. We got a lot of pictures and she was very responsive to questions and answered our texts in a timely manner. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I am 20 years old and I am a positive outgoing guy trying to earn some extra money on the side before I transfer to a university. I grew up with a family dog and every morning, I would take him to the dog park and let him socialize and play. We would play fetch all the time and my dad and I used to take him to the tennis courts. And he would essentially run around the court like a maniac trying to catch the ball while we were rallying. The most important thing you should know though is that I know how to let your dog have a great time, while at the same time, teach him obedience. I am also available mainly in the mornings.
“Matt was excellent! Our dog can be a bit intimidating and not always the warmest - but him and Matt became buds instantly!! We were able to enjoy our vacation with no issues or concerns. He was very easy to reach and provided updates regularly. We came back to a very happy pup!! Thanks Matt for everything! We hope you will watch koa in the future.”
“Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book her again.”
About: No walk is too long with a four-legged companion! I've raised and walked dogs since they were puppies to "mature" adults. Also, dealt with large dogs with aggressive tendencies. I am currently a self-employed chef, so I have the freedom to make my own schedule. I can almost always be available with one day's notice. I love playing with dogs in their own yards and or homes. It shows you a whole other side of them. And, of course, feeding time is the way to any dog's heart! (or human) I am living in a 2-bedroom apartment so large dogs are not preferred. However, I have had large dog sleepovers with no problems. Just lots of walks! :)
“Leaving our sweet pup, Winnie, is always hard, but finding someone you truly trust to care for them (and your home!) is such a gift. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Serafina! She took the time to meet Winnie ahead of our trip and genuinely cared about getting to know her routine and what would make her (and us!) feel most comfortable. Throughout the weekend, she sent us the most thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us an immense peace of mind knowing Winnie was in such wonderful hands. We feel so lucky to have found Serafina and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!!”
“Hosana took great care of our pets and sent lots of updates and photos to keep us updated. She was very communicative and did a wonderful job making our dog and two cats were fed, entertained, and exercised. We returned home to happy pets!”

Jennifer is absolutely wonderful! When we first met her, my Pup Lois went to her immediately wanting to play. This was a great sign. While we were away, I was completely at ease with Jennifer caring for both my pup and my kitty cat. My cat is 21 years old and pretty frail but Jennifer took extra time and care make sure she got what she needed. She was communicative with us throughout our trip, sending messages and photos. And when we got home, I could tell that both of my fur babies were well cared for. Jennifer is very sweet and thoughtful and I trusted her completely in my home. This was the first time I used a pet sitter from Rover and it was a complete win!

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 Bay Point 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 Bay Point 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 Bay Point 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
