About: I am a caring pet owner who is very attuned to animals' needs and wants. After working at a dog boarding center I gained skills with dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm currently free to work seven days per week and flexible around which hours so I think I will be the best fit for your pets around the clock. I am available for dog walking, boarding, drop in visits, and doggie daycare. I have a friendly, playful 10 year old dog named Quincy who I walk and feed in the evening, and give a weekly bath to. We also have two cats who are mostly outside cats but they both come in during the night. We have a lagoon in the backyard and plenty of sidewalks to walk near by.

About: I grew up with dogs and know firsthand how much they become part of the family. Our beloved dogs, Bonbon and Bambii, were like siblings to me, and I loved spending time with them on walks, hikes, and playtime adventures. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, I miss that special connection and would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your furry companions. I also have experience looking after my sister's dog, Toast, and always enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I will treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and being around animals. I love starting my mornings with a walk, hike, or run, and I'm available between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM for dogs who need exercise, fresh air, and attention before the day begins. In the evenings, I enjoy going on walks after work, usually from 7:00 PM onward. This gives me dedicated time to focus on your pet, whether that means a relaxing walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Having grown up with dogs and caring for my sister's dog, Toast, I understand that pets thrive on consistency, affection, and quality time. Caring for pets doesn't feel like a chore to me, it's something I genuinely look forward to and enjoy incorporating into my weekly routine.🐶🤍 When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings.

About: Over the course of my life, I have gained extensive experience in animal care. My expertise encompasses a diverse array of species, including, but not limited to, kittens, puppies, adult mammals, and reptiles. As I do not have children and stay at home, I have flexibility throughout the day. I am available from approximately 10:00 AM after my morning routine until around 11:00 PM. Although my yard is fully enclosed, it does feature a pool. My house is in close proximity to a dog park, which offers abundant opportunities for outdoor engagement with your canine companion. I am fully prepared to comply with all guidelines you establish for your residence, as I recognize the significance of clearly defined parameters.

About: I have been professionally caring for dogs and cats in-home for about 5 years part-time, but I was raised in a home that routinely took in stray and surrendered animals. I am a lifelong vegetarian and 10-year vegan with a deep love for all creatures. In addition to caring for animal companions, I like to leave homes better than I found them. Whenever possible, I do some light housekeeping so that when folks return from their trips, they come back to happy animals and a cozy home where they can just put their bags down and crawl into a bed! PLEASE NOTE: Any requests (by folks I’ve never worked with before) to book additional time off of the Rover app will be declined. This is a safety issue for both parties — I do not enter strangers’ homes without safeguards and advise against folks needing pet sitting services to allow strangers into their home without safeguards. Rover is a means to provide that safety measure prior to establishing a trusting relationship. My posted rates are firm. I ask that folks not haggle or try to negotiate an initial pet-sit off of the app for a cheaper rate.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, fish (both saltwater and freshwater), and small mammals as I’ve had all of them as pets or taken care of my friend's. As a teenager, I worked at a local kennel, gaining valuable experience with feeding routines, cleaning, and handling animals of all temperaments. I’ve also trained my own dogs, earning several first-place ribbons in competitions. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animal care—whether it’s a walk around the block or providing loving companionship while you’re away! I am also experienced in giving subcutaneous fluids and administering all kinds of medications from shots to pills I currently work weekdays from 2-8:30pm along with some weekends, but weekends I am off by 3pm. I also have periods of time where I don’t work for a couple of weeks here and there. I can come morning, afternoon, and night any day I am willing to bring a small animal into my home as long as they are ok with another large dog and small cat who are very friendly. I do not have a yard, but walks are given multiple times a day and I have a decent sized 2 story townhome with dog parks and turn outs close by. If I am to go to your home, I can do anything and everything. I have experience with giving fluids to cats and dogs for health issues and administering all kinds of medication

About: Hello and Welcome! As a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter and pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. Whether you’re traveling, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from bouncy puppies to chill senior pups. I am currently charging lower rates since I am fairly new to Rover and I am trying to build a clientele. However, I have five years of experience with pet-sitting and I will always work with you to take care of your pet's needs. I also own two dogs and three cats, each with their own unique personality. From the high energy pup who's always ready for a walk, to the shy cat who needs quiet and patience, I'm comfortable catering to all kinds of needs, whether it’s administering medication, working with shy or anxious cats or dogs, or helping maintain a structured routine. I’ll follow your instructions, and do everything I can to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved. I’m confident in handling: • Dogs with special medical or dietary needs • Multi-pet households • Anxious or shy pets who need extra time to warm up • Lots of love, structure, and playtime! Here’s what you can always count on with me: • Daily updates with photos and notes so you know how your pup is doing • Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles • A safe, positive environment with lots of attention and affection • Flexible scheduling and open communication A little bit about me: I am a soon-to-be lawyer, and I am currently waiting on my bar exam results! I have three cats, a long-haired tabby, a long-haired calico, and a short-haired black cat. I also have a one-year-old rambunctious cockapoo, and a senior chihuahua that I grew up with. I just moved to Dixon, CA, and I currently live with my tabby, and the rest of my pets stay at my parents' home. If you feel like I could be a good fit for you and your pet, let's set up a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know you and your pet, hear all about their routines, and learn how I can help you and your pet. 🐶🐾🐱💕 I have a flexible schedule and I have availability 7 days a week, and I can provide care for your pet during the day and evenings. I live in a one-story house with an ample backyard, and I live with two roommates, one whom has a cat. However, I can drive to your home and spend the night if needed.

I am currently enrolled in school on weekends and trade school in evening. I and available during weekday mornings and afternoons to provide reliable dog sitting services. My cats are indoor-only, and my dog enjoys a large backyard for play. Due to my cats' territorial nature, it might be challenging to accommodate other animals in my home.

This was our first time using Rover, and Daisy made it such a great experience! She arrived promptly and on time, sent a text when she arrived, and even shared a picture of our happy dog playing in the backyard. It was so reassuring to know our dog was in good hands and having a wonderful time. Thank you, Daisy, for being reliable, thoughtful, and providing such excellent service. You made our first Rover experience a positive one, and we would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, dependable dog care!

Susan was wonderful! She was new to Mustard Christopher (my cat) and me. I had a 10-day out of country trip. She came over for our initial meeting a few weeks before when I was trying to get cat care lined up, then again a few days before my trip to pick up the key and review his care plan again. Mustard was curious about her immediately and clearly took to her by the time she left those first two visits. I really appreciated that she made both visits before to learn him and his routine and give him time to get to know her a bit. I think it helped smooth the transition while I was traveling. While on my trip she gave me daily reports through the app, shared photos daily and a nice reassuring message that he was eating and drinking well (potentially a bit of an issue for him) and having fun playing with toys during their visits. This gave me huge peace of mind. I will definitely book with Susan again- Mustard Christopher loves hanging out with her and he’d love to do it again!

Michelle is an absolutely amazing cat sitter. I have two boy ragdoll cats and they absolutely adored her. They literally waited at the door for her to arrive. She’s so sweet with them and she has such an amazing attention to detail. She’s also extremely communicative and followed all my boy’s particular idiosyncrasies on their diets and gave them so much love. I highly recommend Michelle and anytime in the future if I need a cat sitter I really hope she’ll be available as she is fantastic!

Amy was great! We knew as soon as our girls met Amy during our initial visit. Usually, they’re a little standoffish and suspicious. Amy knew how to connect and help them feel safe and in control right away. Since this was A Amy’s first time with us, we appreciated her reaching out for clarification if she wasn’t sure about something and reporting on how the girls were doing during each visit. Thank you, Amy!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bel Marin Keys

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
