“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: As a mommy to 2 fur babies of my own, I know how important these family members are to us. (My Westie passed last year at age 17 and my Golden now is 14 and in great health.) And I know how much I worry about them when I have to leave them home alone. I do not currently work full time but until then, I couldn't think of a better time than to share my passion for dogs in a positive way. I drive a sports wagon and would be also happy to venture to dog parks galore. I do believe that exercise and socialization is important to a happy and harmonious pack... and I would be delighted to help your home be just that by checking in on your doggy. I currently work part-time and want to devote the rest of my time to 4-leggeds and making them happy and healthy. Walking, playing, and socialization. I have a relaxed and welll-behaved Golden senior. She’s happy chilling and watching everyone else’s antics. If I visit homes I wouldn’t likely have her with me unless socialization is a goal.
“I haven’t boarded our 2 bulldogs in over two years and felt so relieved when we discovered Ali. Our girl is sometimes reactive to strangers but liked Ali right away. Both dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. I received plenty of pictures and updates which made my trip easier. She’s definitely our go to sitter moving forward.”
“He was an amazing dog sitter for Sage! He was very responsive, communicated effectively throughout the stay, and made everything so easy. I really appreciated how reliable and attentive he was, and I would definitely use him again. Highly recommend!”
“Juli went above and beyond taking care of our dog Sunshine. She is our first choice for a dog sitter whenever we travel. She is responsible, responsive to our dog's needs and great at problem solving. Sunshine gets to stay with a nice human and some well cared for canines in a beautiful home. When we go on vacation, Sunshine gets a real treat too!”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child at my grandparents and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.I’ve been taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. I’m currently taking clssses online from home and have time to to board during the week/ weekends. This is the perfect time in the summer for me to stay home and pick hobbies. I’ve one dog name Sadie and a back yard to play and have company. Sadie is full of energy and would love to play w another fur babies
“Morty spent a weekend with Spencer and his dogs, and I couldn't have been happier with how it went. Morty clearly loved playing with Cashew and Irie and Spencer sent me some great photos. Spencer seems to be great with dogs and was even nice enough to wash Morty before we picked him up. I'm very pleased and will be hoping Spencer is available the next time I go out of town.”
“I had a great experience with Vanson! He provides a very safe space for drop-offs and has a wonderful, pet-friendly backyard. Vanson has a great attitude and kept me at ease with frequent updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommended!”
“Kolten and Julia were responsive and took excellent care of Dexter. This was our first time using Rover and they made sure it was an excellent one. The sent many pictures of Dexter during his stay. They made the experience very simple which helped us from worrying.”
“Very pleased with Asatur's care of our 1 year old dog, Yoshi! We'll be repeat customers. Asatur is very organized and responsive and has a wonderful plot of land for the dogs to run/play on. He sent almost daily pictures and it was great to see our pup having a good/safe time.”
About: I've spent years caring for and training three dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience has taught me how to adapt to each dog's unique needs, whether they thrive on play and adventure or prefer a calm, predictable environment. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adhering to allergy or dietary protocols. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any changes that may need extra care, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to provide a loving, structured environment where every dog feels comfortable, understood, and treated like family. I work part-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. We spend time relaxing and playing in our fenced backyard, enjoy two daily walks, and, with the owner's permission, can visit the wonderful local Wardlaw Dog Park for safe, supervised socialization and exercise. I tailor each dog's day to their personality, energy level, and routine- whether they love active play, exploring outdoors, or simply staying close by for companionship and cuddles. My house has a fully fenced backyard with two separate outdoor areas, allowing dogs to have their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. There's also a private outdoor room where they can relax while still enjoying fresh air. Inside, the first floor is thoughtfully set up with dogs in mind. It includes a dedicated dog area with a cozy dog chair, comfortable beds, a crate (if your dog is crate-trained or prefers one), and plenty of toys to keep them engaged. I maintain a clean environment with a robot vacuum that vacuums and mops the floors twice a day.
About: I’ve had animals pretty much all of my life, and everyone says that I have a caring aura that children and animals gravitate to. I’m very kind and gentle with animals and want the best care for them. I am currently actively looking for a job. I will have 40 hour weeks, but I will always make time for your animal when watching it. I am always respectful about my client’s home. Make sure it’s spotless. Make sure everything is taken care of while I am in the presence of the home
“William did an amazing job with my fur baby, Amori. My fur baby has a hard time adapting to new environments. William made Amori feel right at home. I needed a pet sitter at the very last minute. I was in a crisis, out of town, and didn’t have a pet sitter for Amori. William agreed to care for her with short notice.”
About: I have always enjoyed having animals in my life. I have a husky/cattle dog mix and two tuxedo cats who all get along great together. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to help care for animals. I live in the Pinole Station community. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule during the day and can accommodate most timings for walks, drop-ins, daycare or overnight boarding. I have a dog and two cats in a house with a fenced in backyard. I work from home so I’m able to always be with your pet.
“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”
“Our dog had such a great stay with Monica and her family! They took great care of him, went on multiple outings (e.h. hikes, beach), and just loved him up. Also their dog was a great and friendly companion. We’d happily have him there in the future!”
“Rebecca and Brie, her daughter, did a wonderful job taking care of Cinammon. Cinammon started out a little 'slowly but by the time I picked her up she was fully part of the pack and family. I will certainty book Cinammon with Rebecca and Brie again. Excellent service!!!”
“Patrick was an amazing host for our dog, Scooby. He put me at ease in our pre-host meet up by walking me through his approach and showing me his beautiful backyard and wonderful dog. During Scooby’s stay I received daily pictures and texts to reassure me the Scooby was having a great time. We drove 40 mins to have Patrick host Scooby and It was definitely worth the commute.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carquinez Heights
We have a large Great Dane with severe separation anxiety. A close friend tried to care for him but he did learn that the slobber and social contact needs of our dane were more than he expected. It was ok for a few days in week one, but his office did develop needs requiring him to work in the shop rather than from home. We were out of the country for my daughter's wedding and was unable to return. We frantically searched Rover and others for any solutions. At Rover's recommendation for a last minute request, we attempted to contact many. Some replied to the contact that they were unavailable, some did not respond. Spencer said he had room. Our friend dropped our dane off with Spencer. This was our danes first time away from his pack. Our friend described our dane as highly stressed. I checked in with Spencer daily. He assured us that our dane was stressed, but calming and eating. This assurance allowed for us to participate in the wedding without worry. We picked up our boy on Wednesday. Spencer had some good advice and welcomed our dane back. Thank you Spencer, in your own way, you saved a wedding. Thanks again.
Kushram and his family were so lovely and took such great care of Hobi! They have a beautiful home with a huge and clean backyard for Hobi to run and sniff to his heart’s content. They sent sweet updates and photos throughout the stay. I’m so glad I found such a caring boarder for my anxious little boy!
Amber was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog who has some special needs. She was incredibly attentive and caring, and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after throughout his stay. She even gave him a bath, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Amber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and attentive sitter!
Rachel is amazing. Booked Cookie for two weeks, and it was our first time being away that long without Cookie. She reassured us that Cookie was doing well by sending us photos and videos and letting us know how Cookie was doing, which helped us feel at ease knowing Cookie is in good hands.
We are very lucky to find Robert to take care of our 1 year old Australian Cattle Dog. Robert takes time to bond with our dog and takes him places to explore the world. He also sends photos of our dog. Robert is knowledgeable about dogs and is patient to train our dog. We will rebook Robert in the future and would recommend to anyone! Thank you for what you do!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Carquinez Heights can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carquinez Heights home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Carquinez Heights.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Carquinez Heights sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
