About: I started as a dog handler in 2016 and from there, I completely fell in love with caring for animals. While working as a handler, I had the amazing opportunity to learn dog behavior so doggy language is my second language! I have experience in helping train dogs, I’ve trained my own dog who knows many tricks and basic commands. Additionally, I have experience working with more shy and skiddish pups so I bring a more attentive, and calm demeanor to those who need it. I’ve worked with small dogs, medium dogs and big dogs. I am also comfortable administering medications. I am currently accepting clients who need daily drop in care and evening walks. I do have my 8 month old who will attend with me but he will stay in his car seat as he’s very content doing so. He would not attend evening walks if that is a service you are interested in. Whether you need your pet crated, put in a secure room or left with a couple extra treats, I’d be happy to oblige by whatever you require for the safety and comfortability for your pet.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up we had 12 Dobermans on our property. Most of my childhood involves caring for them. Since then I’ve owned dogs, and worked on other platforms taking care of and walking other animals. You can trust your fur baby will be in the best of care. I am a stay at home mom, I am very flexible with your and your pets needs. I am open to any time you need me. I am very careful when dogs are in my home. I know being away from home can be scary for them. I don’t leave doors open- I treat every dog as if they could be runners. I try my best to relieve their anxiety and give them that extra attention or space.

About: I've had pets all my life, primarily dogs. I've been the loving human for a 17-year-old Chiweenie -- my chill, fur daughter, Coco -- since she was a pup. I've also cared for pets and house sat for several friends and family over the years. With so many years of pet parenting behind me, I'll approach caring for your dog as if they were my own. I live quite an active lifestyle, so I'm happy to take your dog for long walks or jogs, depending on your dog's ability and your preferences. I can also just visit and pay them as much attention as they need. I enjoy travel with purpose, so I can house sit and/or care for your pet while I'm visiting your area. I have an in-person job now, so if your request fits within my schedule and your pet can be alone from morning until the afternoon, then we can make it work! Just let me know your unique situation and requirements. I'll do my best to cater your pet care experience to fit all your needs! I can arrange time to care for your pets during the day, evening or on weekends, depending on what I have going on. I have a regular in-person job now, so my daytime hours are limited. I may be able to do early mornings; otherwise, late afternoons and evenings will work best during the week. I typically have weekends open. If your pet can be on its own for a few hours, from morning until the afternoon on weekdays, we can make it work! I like to get the full run down of your dog's needs, temperament, eating habits, favorite activities and toys, potty schedule, physical limitations and anything else you think will help me provide the best care for your pet. I also think it would be a good idea for your dog to meet me in person for an initial intro if that fits into your time frame.

About: I’ve taken care of my puppy and have experienced training him since he was 8 weeks old and now he’s over 2 years old and very energetic and playful. I’ve also taken care of my cat and experienced administering medications through injection and orally when he got really sick. He’s now 5 years old and thriving. I work from home 3 times a week so I have flexibility and on the days I’m in office, I can still make time early morning or evening. We live in a single family home and have dog gates to separate cats and dogs as needed to give them safe spaces. We also have a fenced backyard so doggies can run and play catch.

About: LUCKY PUPPY BOARDING CLUB We cater to small dogs up to 25lbs ONLY - thank you! Hi there! I'm Heather, a seasoned pet care provider and small dog specialist. I retired from a management career in 2017 to fulfill my dream of becoming a Stay at Home Dog Mom to a sweet mini dachshund, Piper. My precious little friend hopped over the rainbow bridge at the ripe age of 17-and-change after spending many years making memories with her newfound pack of rotating Rover pals. I'm not quite ready to welcome a new addition of my own, but I feel like I have dozens of my own part-time pups to love thanks to the amazing boarding club that Piper helped inspire and manage. She was our wise, sassy house-marm and I'm convinced that our Rover pack helped keep her young at heart and spry up until her very last day. I loved my little dog in a slightly obsessive way, so I totally get it! It's my mission to treat your pups with just as much love and special care as I would my own. Please take a few moments to read through my profile details and client reviews. If you feel like I'm the right fit for your pup's needs, send me a request with a quick note and we can schedule a Meet and Greet :) Details about our Boarding Club: - At least 48 hours notice & 2-night minimum per booking - Peaceful small group environment for small dogs only & loving, highly attentive care - Daily enrichment activities and adventure walks as weather and schedules permit - Daily pupdates: updates on your pup's stay & photos of them living their best lives! You can consider me your professional small dog nanny! I spend all day prioritizing care for your little besties. I do take on freelance projects from time to time, but those are remote and flexible so that I can put your pups first. I have a large fenced yard that provides plenty of space to romp and frolic - or to just sit around and watch the neighborhood squirrel and bird shows. I keep a tidy home and pride myself on providing a safe, peaceful and comfortable environment. We often play classical music in the background to promote happy vibes, love to lounge outdoors on a sunny afternoon, and provide lots of of pets and pup massages throughout the day for our pampered pals.

About: I’m Xaniah, nice to meet you! My love for animals transcends every species, size, and personality :) Having so much knowledge from my life shared with animals, I was always drastically ahead of my peers when it comes to pet care. I’m committed to caring for each fur baby as if it was my own. I know each pet has their own little personality and I always try my best adapting to each one. New clients, let’s schedule a meet & greet before accepting any booking! I prefer learning about their needs face to face so you and your pup can become acquainted with me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :) Thank you for reading and I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! Only working Sat-Mon, and can take any days off if needed. Low maintenance WFH job during the week so I can give my attention to your pets! Whether your pet is in my home or yours, you can trust that safety is my highest priority and neither your fur baby or your home will be in jeopardy! I treat every animal and home as if it was my own, and leaving both cleaner than I found them. No pet, furniture, or Neiman Marcus vase shall be harmed in my presence :)

About: I've been a pet owner/lover all of my life. I rescued and rehabilitated my orange tabby from the age of 4 weeks old, when we found him in the street close to death. I can bottle feed, give medication, and am always available for cuddles. I work from home and have a large back yard so I can walk/let your pups out all day long, and give them a great space to play and roam in. I work from home Monday-Friday, so I am available from dawn til dusk, and am also available on weekends to handle all of your pet care needs. We have a 2k sq ft home, a fenced backyard, and two cats. If I am boarding I am available to walk/feed your animals morning through night, and they will have a large yard to roam and be free in. In warmer and colder weather your animals will be inside, in either AC, or heating. Whatever the weather is feeling that day. I can walk/feed your animals in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and can take them to parks as needed. I have reliable transportation, and am a dutiful pet lover who is extremely attentive and in tune to animals.

About: Hi! My name's E'mani. I'm a sophomore at St.John's University, and I'm a huge pet lover. I have had a dog since I was 4 years old, but I recently had to give my pet away. I love being in the company of animals, and I'd love to spend time with other dog owners since I no longer have a pet of my own. I only have personal experience caring for my own pet, but I am great with animals of all shapes and sizes! I'm very patience, responsible and trustworthy, especially when it comes to caring for other people's homes or pets. I hold myself to a very high standard and I can guarantee that you will have a great experience working with me!

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.

“Isaiah could not have been a better pet sitter! He has a very gentle soul and is obviously an animal person. Our dog, who is ofter a little cautious with strangers, bounded up to him when we did our meet-and-greet. Even our standoffish cats gave in to his calming ways. Coming home after 5 days away, we found our house in perfect condition, all the pets food and water filled, the litter box clean, and a houseful of contented animals. We will absolutely be having Isaiah take care of our pets in the future!”

About: I have cared for pets my entire life. My family had dogs and I owned a horse that I cared for and paid for since I was 13 until I left home for college. St that point I gave her to a person that would take care of her as I would. Since that time I have adopted cats as I lived in homes that did not allow dogs . I had to get my dog time in caring for friends and neighbors dogs whenever I could I’m currently working but have a flexible schedule. Caring for or playing with your pet will be my pleasure and your gift to me. I love all dogs and cats but will admit I miss having a dog of my own I can care for any cat in my home. I would prefer to sit for dogs in their own environment. I will care for your friends with just as much love and attention as you yourself would

About: I have have been taking care of dogs of different sizes for as long as I can remember. Ranging from German Shepards to chihuahuas. My heart is very big for animals and I am always rescuing animals so there is never a time that I am without a pet. I treat all pets like they are my own and will take care of them as if they were my own. I love spending time with my very young and active Maltipoo who loves playing with other dogs at the dog park. He is very social and kind. He loves licking faces and resting his head on your legs. He also loves going to the beach to dip his paws in water. We run together almost everyday. I believe a healthy dog is a happy dog. Taking my dog on either a morning stroll or night hike is my top priority and would be the same for any pet I care for. I believe in consistency. I will try to keep your pet’s schedule and routine as similar to what they’re familiar as possible. My wish is make them comfortable and happy until their owner returns.

Adam helped us out last minute when our regular petsitter ended up with a health emergency. Adam responded right away, agreed to meet at the last minute to go over the instructions (and was on timely for that meeting also), and he took awesome care of our 2 indoor kitties and helped feed our 4 feral cats outside. He completed all the tasks wonderfully and gave thorough updates after each visit. I highly recommend Adam for your petsitting needs!

Rachel Ann was a lifesaver for us when we needed last-minute care for our cat, Freya. Our cat needed two new prescriptions administered twice daily and her food preferences had also just changed. Rachel Ann was an absolute professional in caring for Freya and even adjusted the visit times to accommodate how our cat was responding. She was very loving and sent daily updates and photos. We will definitely request Rachel Ann again and we recommend her to anyone who needs routine or advanced care for their cat.

Another successful petcare week with Emma and our sweet but anxious cowdog! Sandia got into a happy routine and was no longer nervous about us leaving.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Carquinez Heights

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.
