About: I have a huge love for animals and I tend to be able to bond with them very well. I have two dogs of my own at home, a border collie and a havanese. I’ve had dogs in my home for the majority of my life, and even before that I had been around dogs a lot, as all of my extended family owns dogs. That being said, I know my profile says I do take puppies under a year old, however they must be house trained and able to be left alone for a bit as I am not always able to be in the house 24/7, though I do stay with them as much as possible. I tend to work on a case to case basis for puppies as well as senior dogs. I spent a year volunteering at a local animal shelter where I learned a lot about how to work with cats, and have since cat sat for a friend multiple times over the years. I worked at a kennel with dogs for three months during a summer vacation as well, and I worked at a local dog daycare for almost a year. All of my experience has furthered my knowledge with animal behavior. I recently graduated from the University of Washington and am currently looking for a job! So, for the time being, I am able to be home with your pets almost always. Once I find a full time job, we can discuss a schedule that works for both me and your pets! I will make sure that, since I will be in the animals’ space, I will be respectful of their area and yours as well. I will stick to their normal routine as best as I can and make sure that they are comfortable around me.
“Ayla was a great sitter! She was prompt and took good care of Gus while we were away. He was well fed and had nice company. We would love to have Ayla watch our cat again in the future.”
“Julia is awesome! I am new to the Las Vegas area and needed to find someone reliable and patient to take care of my dog on occasion. George is extremely skittish and takes a long time to trust new people. I am also very neurotic about the care he receives since he’s so particular. Julia happily came over to do a meet & greet with me & George and then also came back a separate time to see how George would respond in my absence. She’s been back for drop in visits. She was very communicative and gave great detail about the visit and George’s behavior. She is definitely someone I trust with my fur baby.”
“Elizabeth was a pleasure to having as our sitter. Our senior dog needs daily medication, and our youngster is needy and full of energy. We appreciate the time she took with each pup, and I loved the thorough updates. Choose Elizabeth for your pet needs!”
“Sahar took wonderful care of our little cat and did everything we asked. She arrived on time, followed all of our feeding instructions, and kept the litter box clean. We would happily have Sahar pet sit for us again and highly recommend her!”
About: I love all animals! I grew up with dogs and even owned a couple reptiles. Currently, I care for one boxer and two cats. My animals range from sleeps-all-day to playful and high energy, so I will be able to handle any pet personality. I love all my friends’ pets and yours will be no exception! I’m currently on summer break and have plenty of time to play with your pets! Contact me and I will do my best to make any time work. The necessities of dog and cat care are routine for me, but I will be sure to pay close attention to any special care needs or requests left by owners.
“You were very much appreciated. We ended up being out a little longer than we expected. Lexi was in great spirits when we returned. The pics were great updates. Thank you! We look forward to your help next week with Logan!”
“I am very happy with the way Komal took care of my dog. She sent pictures and kept me informed of how my dog was doing. Komal is very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!”
About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my Kids' Country job around 10am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 6:30pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”
About: Hey! I'm Nazareth. I'm 22, a part-time community college student, and I also work full time as the manager of a dog daycare and boarding facility in San Ramon. I started working professionally with dogs when I was 17, and over the years I've gotten comfortable with just about every personality. High-energy dogs that love to jump? No problem. Seniors who need medication? Happy to help. Nervous, anxious, or reactive dogs? I'm comfortable working at their pace and earning their trust. I currently work full-time, so my availability varies depending on the day. Workdays (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday): Available before 9:30 AM Unavailable 9:30 AM–1:00 PM Available 1:00 PM–2:00 PM Unavailable 2:00 PM–7:30 PM Available after 7:30 PM Days Off (Wednesday & Saturday): I'm generally available throughout the day and have much more flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended visits. If your requested time falls outside my listed availability, don't hesitate to reach out anyway. My schedule can occasionally be adjusted, and I'll always do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every booking. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their owners are away. While caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep food and water fresh, clean up after your pets, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet enjoys. You'll also receive regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and well cared for. I'm experienced in recognizing animal body language and responding calmly to different personalities and situations. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I'll provide patient, reliable care tailored to their needs.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicholas and Sarah are absolutely incredible! From the moment we met them, we knew our sunshine bear was in the best hands. They were punctual, responsible, and went above and beyond to love on our pup all week long. We especially appreciated the regular updates and sweet photos that kept us at ease while we were away. Could not recommend them enough — truly the kind of sitters every pet parent hopes to find!”
“Yvette was prompt, attentive, and very professional. I got daily check-in pics and my dog was very happy to have someone to walk with. It was a great match because she was also house sitting for one of my dog’s buddies, and they got to hang out together. Definitely recommend.”
“Tasha is an amazing dog walker! Her love for animals shines through in everything she does. Azul adores her and always has a blast on their walks. She’s reliable, caring, and great at keeping me updated. If you want someone who treats your dog like family, Tasha’s the one!”
About: Since I was a little girl I’ve always had dogs and they bring me so much joy. Almost every dog I've met, we've had a connection and loved eachother! Dogs are like children in my eyes, which means they deserve all the love and kindness in the world! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and can't wait to meet yours :) I currently work Hybrid Remote and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust and work some hours at home so I can spend more time with your pup. I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved. That's why I try to spend as much time with them as possible. Whatever their needs are, I will follow your instructions to a T. Taking excellent care of your pup is of the utmost importance to me, because I know how much they mean to you!
About: Hi I am a frequent foster for multiple rescue agencies. Also I have a dog, Andre, who is my baby , and 3 cats, Daffanie, and Moo are my girls and Simba is my naughty boy. I have had pets all my life and am very experienced with pet care. I have cared for dogs through the Task Rabbit app. and I have senior neighbor's that I take care of their dogs. I walk, wash and administer meds as needed. I love spending snuggle/pet time with the pups, I give a great belly rub. With my foster dogs I have corrected resource guarding issues, potty trained, and have trained basic manners, sit,stay,come and not to jump up on people. I am confident and comfortable with dogs. I am available to stay all day at your house. I do all gig work so my time is flexible. I do have a older couple I help twice a week but that is only 2-3 hours twice a week. My yard is fenced and if you have a small dog I stay on the porch with the little ones that could slide through the porch railings. If I am at your house I follow your house rules. If you have a puppy/puppies I will crate them or if you have the puppy enclosure I will put them in there if I need to leave the room.
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own husky, Nate, who requires daily structure, exercise, and attention. I’m very comfortable handling high-energy and strong breeds, and I focus on keeping dogs safe, engaged, and well-exercised during every walk. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks throughout the day. I’m consistent and reliable, and I can accommodate both regular weekly walks and one-time bookings. I make sure to plan my day around the dogs in my care so they get the time and attention they deserve. Safety is always my top priority. I stay attentive during walks, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and make sure each dog is secure on leash at all times. I’m experienced with handling strong and energetic dogs, and I stay aware of my surroundings to keep them safe. I also provide updates when needed so you can feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care. Bonus: Your dog might end up walking with my husky Nate (if a good fit), who loves making new friends 🐺
“I had a last-minute need for someone to check in on my dog due to a flight delay, and Hailey truly saved the day! She responded quickly, was flexible and reliable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process to ensure my dog was well cared for. I’m so grateful to Hailey for stepping in on such short notice and would highly recommend her for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Hailey!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Blackhawk
Overall Paige was pleasant to work with. She was kind and sent some pictures of our cats, and spent the full hour with our pets. We had some concerns about her not adhering to the requested time of day for visits and the amount of food she gave our cats despite our written out directions. Our cats ran out of food less than 4 hours after she left and it should have been enough to sustain them for a full day. When alerting Paige of this she reassured us she would arrive earlier to feed them, but instead showed up almost two hours late. This meant she almost missed the window before the guest access code to our home expired. We appreciate her taking time to play and care for our cats but we do have some reservations about rebooking in the future.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Blackhawk on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackhawk. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
