About: Hi! For the past decade, I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes in my warm, spacious Blackhawk home. I also do dog walks and drop in visit for those pups that need care in their own home. There’s a yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore at my house, and I make sure every dog feels like part of the family. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, fun playtime, or relaxing walks, your pup will receive lots of love and attention. I have excellent references from happy pet parents in the Blackhawk/Danville area, and my husband, sweet 13-year-old son and friendly 4-year-old Shih Tzu love welcoming new furry friends! Your pup will have lots of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I truly love having dogs by my side—whether it’s snuggles, playtime in the yard, or plenty of walks around the neighborhood. Every dog who stays with me is treated like family. Drop off and pick up only between 7 am and 7 pm. No Late pick ups please. I can also do local dog walks and drop in visits at your home. When caring for pets in my home, I always aim to keep them on the same routine and schedule they’re used to, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I know how important consistency is for dogs, so I’m happy to follow their usual feeding times, walk schedules, and any special care instructions you provide. Whether your pup loves early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or quiet evening cuddles, I’ll make sure their day feels familiar and happy. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a true home away from home, filled with love, attention, and plenty of tail wags!
“I cannot say enough good things about Ella! She is the absolute best! She’s super communicative, caring, and reliable. I had complete peace of mind leaving my girl with her while we were on a 5 day trip. You could tell she genuinely loves dogs and wants to help care for your pet. My dog could tell too, as she absolutely loves her! My dogter and I can’t wait to book Ella again! 💗”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.
“Elizabeth did drop-in visits with Milo the Cat while we were away for 10 days. She was there every day, for more time than expected, making sure he was happy and healthy. The updates were great for peace of mind and the pictures were very sweet. I'd definitely use Elizabeth again and recommend her to anyone else needing a sitter.”
About: I have years of experience with cats with owning 3 growing up. I am a vet assistant who LOVES pets 😇 I am very attentive to pet care, and will always make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I am a full time student at Las Positas (last semester 😃) who goes to class Monday and Wednesday. I work Thursday- Sunday locally in Danville, and since Tuesday is my only day off I spend it at the East Bay SPCA. I truly love pets and will always find a way to include them in my daily life. My schedule can seem intimidating, but this busy crazy schedule somehow finds me with so much 😇 When I visit a pet in someone’s home I make sure the pet knows this is their space and I am just a friend there to provide love and food. While being at your home I leave no trace of me even being there! Seriously I will leave your house clean, and respect as my own. Your pet is my priority and I’ll make sure to keep you updated throughout our time together.
“Andrea took great care of our kitties. She is very responsible and genuinely loves animals. She asked excellent questions and took detailed notes during our meet & greet. She sent us photos and detailed reports for each drop-in visit and even brought in our mail!”
About: Your pup will be staying in a gated San Ramon community with tree-lined, well-groomed walking paths right outside the door — perfect for calm, unhurried walks. My apartment complex has its own private dog park for off-leash playtime and a dog wash station to keep your pet fresh and clean before they head home to you. I have two small schnauzer mixes of my own — friendly, playful, and easygoing, not high-energy — so your dog will have relaxed, well-matched company. My fiancé and I split care so no pet is ever alone for more than 2–3 hours, and I use a WiFi camera to check in and keep an eye on things even when I step out. Safe, clean, social, and closely watched — I treat every dog like it’s staying at home. My fiancé and I split care shifts on weekdays so no dog is ever alone more than 2–3 hours and if there are they have the company of two other friendly dogs. Weekends were generally home all day. Days include walks along our tree-lined community paths and a WiFi camera check-in whenever I step out. I live in a gated community, so every walk and play session stays off busy streets. The neighborhood has meticulously groomed, tree-lined walking paths and a private, fenced dog park just steps from my door for safe off-leash time.
About: I know how much it matters to leave your dog with someone you trust. I offer patient, attentive care tailored to your dog’s personality and routine, with plenty of affection, playtime, and time to relax. My 12 year old also loves dogs and will happily offer extra love, playtime and attention under my care. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I plan pet care around each booking so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. We’ll discuss your pet’s routine and confirm scheduling before booking, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep walks secure and supervised, respect your wishes, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and appreciation for animals! I previously had my sweet potato (my yellow lab Jake) and my little baby (my guinea pig Peanut). They meant the world to me, I miss them every day. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Whether I’m meeting friendly dog while out in public or watching adorable dog videos, they never fail to brighten my day! Having loved and lost my own pets, I understand how precious they are and how important it is to know they’re in caring hands. I would treat every pet with the same love, patience, kindness, and attention that I gave Jake and Peanut. To me, caring for animals isn’t just a job, it’s an opportunity to share my love with furry friends and help their owners feel confident that their beloved companions are being treated like family. Pet care is something I’m excited to incorporate into my weekly routine! I deeply enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to make dog walking/sitting a regular part of my schedule. I’m currently balancing a job that I honestly hope to leave soon if Rover can work out for me. I have flexibility most days and can plan ahead for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting. My goal is to dedicate more time to pet care as I build relationships with clients and establish a consistent schedule. I’m happy to communicate availability in advance to ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve! I currently live with my grandparents, but I am happy to stay my clients house. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, my priority is making sure they safe, comfortable, and loved! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I would carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if applicable), and any special care requirements. I would also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and fresh water. I believe communication is important, so I would happily provide owners with updates and photos while they’re away. I would always treat their home with respect and make sure their pets are well cared for.
About: I have owned dogs and other pets since I was very young, i’ve handled puppies and rescues and have trained 4 dogs in my life. I love being around animals and caring for them! I just graduated college and have a very open schedule. I can be flexible with last minute walks/ pet sitting but would prefer a couple days of notice. All of my dogs at home are crate trained and up to date with vaccines/ flea and tick medicine if I take your dog into my home! I can take dogs out to potty as much as needed, help with medication, feeding, walking, etc.
“Kristen took care of our Sadie-dog, who has some separation anxiety, and Sadie loved her drop-in visits from Kristen. Thank you for being a friend to her while her family was away!”
About: I am a huge dog person and always have been. I currently have one dog of my own that I take very good care of. I also house sit and dog sit for my grandmother whenever she takes a vacation. In addition, I've done long term care for coworkers when they go on vacation. I take long walks around my community nightly, and would love a furry companion. I enjoy being around all types of dogs, and have a huge passion for working with them. At the moment, I am an elementary school teacher. When school breaks are in session, I have complete flexibility in my schedule. During the school year, I will have work from 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM, but would be available after to care for pets. Typically, I prefer to pet sit in an individual's home. My dog enjoys vacations to Grandma and Grandpa's house when I pet sit, so I am able to give all of my attention to whatever dog I pet sit. I make sure that I follow whatever routine the dog is already used to, incorporating as much walks or outside time as they need.
“Yash went above and beyond looking after my Beebs with such a short notice. Pets can be finicky and he was able to meet her needs while sending me updates. I would highly recommend you trust Yash with your loved fur-baby!”
About: I always loved animals so much since I was little I wanted to become a vet until I found out how much science was involved...ha! My friends and family knew how much I loved animals that they would always go to me first to take care of their pets before bringing their furry family members to an animal daycare. I've watched over cats, birds, dogs (small and large breeds) and even helped a young Doberman mama take care of her beautiful 7 pup litter for 4 weeks until they were adopted at 6 weeks old. I also have a special love for horses, so I have taken care of horses but light work such as cleaning, riding, and restocking the hay. I work from home so I'm very flexible in terms of caring for animals. So during the day I can take them out for walks, cleaning, feeding, etc. I don't have any animals myself (yet) so if your fur baby is shy or uncomfortable around other animals, you don't have to worry about that with me. I also have a fenced yard with enough space for your animal to roam around...although I prefer to go to the pet owner's house as the animal will feel more comfortable in their own environment and also because my mom tends to have animal allergies, so for her comfort, I rather go to the owner's house.
About: I adopted my four legged friend 7 years ago and have dedicated all my free time to training and adventuring with him. I adore animals and love being able to train and spend time with them so that they can enjoy the world as much as we do! I have been pet sitting for friends for nearly 10 years for both pups and kitty’s, I grew up with cats and pet sit my best friends when I need some kitty love. I am currently between scientists jobs so I am available pretty much any time we’re not on overlanding, camping or on backcountry adventures with our pup! I take a soft approach to training and care, as my boy was a rescue and very tentative with people and scared of nearly everything. I am happy to discuss care with owners and want to keep to your commands, care, and schedule because I know how important it is for our pets!
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs and truly love them like my own babies. I even bottle-fed newborn puppies when their mom couldn’t, and spending time with dogs always brings me joy they mean so much to me! Pet care fits into my weekly routine as a priority—I make sure to set aside dedicated time to walk, feed, and give attention to the pets, making their well-being and happiness a regular part of my day. I would care for someone else’s dog by making sure they feel safe and comfortable, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I’d give them lots of attention and affection, watch for any signs they need, and keep their environment clean and calm.
About: Hey there! (: I've been on Rover for over 8 years now and I absolutely love it! ( just look through my photos at all my happy and satisfied clients! ) Throughout my life, I have consistently cared for all types of animals, demonstrating a profound level of affection, impeccable cleanliness, and a remarkable patience. I sincerely hope you consider me for your future, thanks so much! At present, I am working part-time, allowing me to be available at any time. If you wish to discuss any additional details, I would be delighted to assist you. I regularly engage in walks and provide two meals daily. It's the animal's residence, I simply reside there! I have plenty of space for outdoor activities, potty pads if they're still in training, and a large and small crate if required. I also possess a variety of toys and a substantial supply of leashes!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blackhawk
Julia was wonderful! Our cat, Stormy, took to her immediately when they met for the first time. Julia took great care of Stormy, and followed instructions to the letter. She was punctual, kept to the agreed schedule, provided daily detailed communications / updates and kept the house tidy and in order. We will definitely use Julia again! Thanks for taking great care of Stormy!
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.
Komal is outstanding. Dependable, professional, thorough, pays attention to detail, and is so loving to our dogs. They get excited when she's coming to take care of them. With Komal, we can relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs will be well taken care of and given so much love. Couldn't recommend her more highly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Blackhawk is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,052 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Blackhawk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Blackhawk. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
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.
