“What a great Dogsitter! Beth is very loving, and our dog took to her right away. Beth took care of our dog for 35 days while we were on a long trip. She also helped us out with mail and a package delivery. She's very responsible and we've already booked her for our next trip. We're going to continue using Beth for occasional walks because our dog really loves her.”
“Nancy is really awesome. She has watched my dogs twice and the second time was a more urgent matter and she was able to help me out :’) she updates if they are, poop or pee which is helpful to know! Nancy is the best!”
About: Hi — I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver who’s excited to meet your furry family member! About me: -Lifelong dog owner — I’ve had several dogs and believe they’re the best companions. -Years of pet-sitting/walking experience for friends and neighbors, caring for both dogs and cats. -General Manager of a small local business since 1999 — I’m highly organized, dependable, and used to juggling schedules and responsibilities. -Single mom of three; I work from home most days, so your pet will get plenty of attention, companionship, and regular routines. What I offer: -Dependable dog walking, drop-in visits, and daytime care. I am willing to consider overnight care for the right pet. -Respect for your pet’s routine: feeding, medication, exercise, and preferred play styles. -Clear, timely communication with photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. -Safe, attentive care focused on comfort, exercise, and enrichment. Why choose me: -Reliable and responsive — I treat each pet like family and prioritize their safety and happiness. -Flexible schedule (work-from-home most days) means consistent visits and peace of mind. -Energetic and active — I’m looking to stay fit while giving your dog great walks and playtime. I’d love to meet you and your pet for a quick meet-and-greet. Send me a message and let’s set it up! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. Also, my mother retired early and lives with me and is very active. We have a 3 year old labradoodle that spends most of the day with us and gets a walk every day. I also take breaks and throw toys in the yard. Dog life is built into our schedule. I have a fenced in yard and front porch to keep pets safe. We live in downtown Benicia, in a dog friendly and very walkable neighborhood.
“Erin take wonderful care of my two pups! She takes my schnauzer for walks and takes my little old Shih Tzu out to potty and administers her mid day eye drops. She is always on time and provides great updates!”
“Alex was great with my naughty kitties, and worked with my shy (and problematic) one too! She was attentive and gave many regular updates and kept the house and kitty corners in clean condition for us while we're away. Thank you!”
“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Gwen was wonderful. She took good care of my girls when I couldn’t make it home in time. I always worry that my bigger dogs will cause trouble with a sitter but, from the look of the pictures Gwen sent, they loved her right away. 10 out of 10 will book again!”
About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs and I also own a small Maltese mix named Swiffer. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond. I normally work Tuesday-Saturday but we will soon be closed for renovations for the month of September. I will be very available to pet sitting and boarding as I will be working from home the entire month of September! While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.
About: As long as I can remember, I’ve been around dogs and helping care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m happy to give energetic dogs longer walks and plenty of exercise, while also taking my time with dogs who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, explore, or simply relax, I’ll treat them with the care they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away and pet care is something i genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard where pets can enjoy safe outdoor time, as well as a crate available if needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Tessa! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter and dog walker with over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve worked with more than 35 recurring clients and have experience providing walks, feeding, administering medications, overnight pet sittings, and house sitting. I pride myself on being patient, responsible and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, loving and dependable experience for both you and your pets! :) I currently am in the process of getting my undergraduate degree and on the side walking and sitting in on dogs and cats. I am able to work when it fits in my schedule and being around animals brings me much joy. In a clients home, I follow their directions strictly and hope to follow through on everything they request of me. It is the upmost importance to me that I am respectful in someone else’s home.
“Telena is super personable and you can tell she takes pride in her services. She was always on time and always gave a detailed description of what the visit entailed and always included pictures, which as you know pet parents love to see pics of their fur babies when they’re away lol. She was also very patient with our super shy kitty who usually hides anytime she meets someone new, but Telena was able to lure her out of hiding with patience and treats which was such great news! I will be using her service again! Thanks again!!”
About: I combine years of hands on pet care with a deep sense of responsibility and heart. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a gentle pace and medication reminders. My experience includes contracted dog and cat sitting in DC, walking reactive dogs, and even coordinating vet visits. I’m great at reading animal behavior, adapting to their needs, and communicating openly with owners. Whether it’s belly rubs, leash manners, or just keeping them safe and happy, I treat every pet like family.🤙🏿😊 I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule & I’m up early. Caring for animals is a meaningful part of my week that brings me joy, movement, and purpose. In your home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding instructions, walk and play schedules, and any special care details to the letter. I keep the space clean, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and respect your home like it’s my own. 😊
About: We will go on walks around my neighborhood or yours, a walking trail that is close to my home and any dog-friendly parks. I enjoy getting out with the animals I care for to get some fresh air, exercise and have some fun! Whether it be throwing their favorite ball, frisbee or other toy for them to play catch, we will have a blast! I love interacting with my client's fur babies to give them the undivided attention and care they deserve. I also enjoy snuggles with them on the couch. I work remotely 2-3 days a week so i am available to spend the day with your dog in those days. 2-3 days a week I am in the office 4-5 hours a day in SF. I will keep the dog in a safe gated area and will never leave them unattended or off of a leash when i have them out. I love to cuddle, kiss and pet your animal and play catch.
About: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pet, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️ *Currently accepting requests within a ~20 mile radius of Crockett, CA - just ask!*

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Benicia
Thea has been cat sitting for my family for 2-3 years on Rover, whenever we go out of town. When we come home, the cats are always perfectly taken care of, and just mildly annoyed and dramatic, as you’d expect cats to be :) Thea is always super responsive and we trust her completely in our home.
Telena has watched our shy kitty only twice, but has somehow managed to bring her out of her shell!! It normally takes our cat a long time before she warms up to people and she will usually just hide the whole time. But this time she came out and hung out with Telena which is so cool to see! Telena is super patient and kind with our cat, and very responsive while we’re out of town. I highly recommend her services !! Thanks Telena !!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Benicia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Benicia. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
