“Kat is great with Amos. She is great with his daily meds and checking in after her visits. Amos also loves the attention and ball play, and I am certain that Amos looks forward to seeing her again. Kat helps us feel at ease while we are away.”
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Susan! She cared for our cat for several days while we were out of town, coming twice a day to feed and check on him. She provided a very helpful meet & greet prior to the booking and was prompt and responsive in all communications. She was gentle and patient with our shy kitty and earned his trust for belly rubs by the end of their visits!! I super appreciated her thorough narrative and photo updates each day. Thank you Susan!!! :)”
“Agne did such a wonderful job taking care of my 2 kitties. Although she didn’t have the opportunity to see too much of them since they like to remain hidden, she made sure they were well cared for. She also had to do some ant combat. I highly recommend her for your upcoming cat care. I will be referring her to my cat lady friends.”
“Taylor was a wonderful sitter for my cat. He warmed up to her right away, even though he is typically very shy. I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed toward both him and me. Taylor provided wonderful photos and detailed Rover Cards throughout each visit, which was especially reassuring for me. She also handled his slightly complicated meal preparation with ease and demonstrated excellent attention to detail. I look forward to working with Taylor again in the future and would absolutely recommend her cat sitting services. Thank you again for everything, you made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands!”
About: I can provide you with peace of mind and your fur baby lots of attention and love while you’re away. I enjoy hiking and take daily walks on the Iron Horse Trail (and would love it if your pet joined me🐾). I’ve previously volunteered at animal shelters, have grown up with dogs, had a dog of my own for the past 10 years, and was even a Junior Docent at a zoo! I’ve been taking care of animals (dogs and cats specifically) for many years now. My schedule and day revolves around their needs and exercise. I always make sure to spend time outside and interact with them to make sure they know they’re loved. In my clients home I would care for their pets by first establishing what their feeding schedule is, where the food is kept, and any/all quirks your pet might have!
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Jackson. She sent pictures and videos with descriptions to keep me apprised of everything. She let me know that she'd be a bit late because of traffic, and then let me know when she left my house. I'd definitely use her again!”

“Kelly did a fantastic job. I had a last minute request - she was very accommodating and communicative. She even did some puppy crate training as a bonus! We are new to using Rover and I'm grateful Kelly was able to help! I highly recommend her!”
“Halona is amazing! On very short notice, she came by our home to do a meet & greet with our 4-month old puppy who is a pretty timid rescue pup. She asked all the right questions about our home and our pup, some I had not even thought of myself! Knowing I can rely on her to drop in mid-day for playtime with my pup is such a relief. She was right on time, sent many amazing photos, helped tire him out, feed him, and dry him off from the wet grass, etc. Gave me a full report of his behavior and activities while she was there! Halona is a trustworthy, reliable, and loving puppy friend!”
About: Hello! We are Francisco and Daniela... And Floki, our beautiful Jack Russell Terrier. We love to go hiking. I lived all my life with all kinds of animals: ducks, geese, birds, rabbits, pheasants, cats and dogs. My father is an animal rescuer and as a child I learned how to take care and love them. Now I live in an apartment so I'm looking to share more with others animals and earn some money (to pay my petsitter when we travel 😅) I work from home so I have time to be with them and take walks every 2 or 3 hs. Normally is 8 am / 10 am / 1 pm / 4pm / 7 pm We have an small patio and we live in a Cul-de-Sac so it is very safe and calm. We also have the civic park 10 minutes walking.

Courtney completed a drop-in visit for us while we were out for the evening and did an excellent job! It was so nice to know that Ernie was not home alone for too many hours and that he was able to get a potty break, fresh water, and also some extra love and attention while we were away! When we got home, he was sound asleep and very relaxed and calm. Thank you so much Courtney for doing such a great job! 🥰🐾 We really appreciate you! ❤️
Olivia took great care of our kitties. It's clear that she really loves animals. She was even able to make friends with one of our shy cats, and the photos she sent were always sweet to see. I highly recommend her and will be happy to have her watch our pets again.
Bailey has been a blessing for our family! She is very responsive, attentive to our pet and her needs. Couldn’t have found a better pet sitter and we look forward to our next visits with Bailey! If you’re in need of a pet sitter who is kind, loving and easy going we highly recommend Bailey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Contra Costa Centre is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $50 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 12,589 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Contra Costa Centre. 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 Contra Costa Centre. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
