About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.
“Hector was very punctual and caring with our American Bully Nala. He has gone above and beyond to accommodate her needs. Thank you for professionalism and attention to details. We highly recommend his services and will use his services again. Héctor fue muy puntual y cariñoso con nuestra American Bully Nala. Él ha hecho todo lo posible para satisfacer sus necesidades. Gracias por el profesionalismo y la atención a los detalles. Recomendamos altamente sus servicios y los utilizaremos nuevamente.”

“Lara is punctual, communicative, always sends me the BEST photos & my dog and I absolutely adore her! If you’re looking for someone genuine, who’s going to love on your pup through every walk- she’s your gal. I’m so grateful we found her! 12/10!”


About: As the owner of four cats, I have daily hands-on experience providing consistent, attentive care to animals. Caring for multiple pets has taught me to be patient, reliable, and attentive to each animal's unique needs and personality. While my personal experience has been with cats, I'm comfortable caring for dogs by following their established routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'll treat your dog with the same care and dedication I give my own pets! I'm currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to accommodate your pet's routine, whether that's morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits. I believe consistency is important, so I'll always communicate clearly and provide dependable, attentive care while you're away. Your pet's comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Since I'm entering their space, I believe it's important to let each pet take the lead. I take the time to build trust at their own pace and never force interactions or affection. Every pet has a unique personality, and I respect their individual needs and boundaries. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away by maintaining the consistency they're used to. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. That's why I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own pets.

About: Hi Everyone! My name is Antoine. I am a HUGE dog lover and treat each as if they were my own. I have many years of experience handling and caring for dogs of all ages, including basic obedience training. I am constantly keeping myself educated with dog behavior and training techniques. I have been dog-sitting regularly for 5 years and all of my recurring guest dogs have become an extension of our family. I have a Maltipoo, Melo, who is very friendly and loving, and will help keep your pup happy and active when they stay with us. All dogs will be walked 2-3 times a day (weather permitting) for at least 30 minutes each walk, fed as needed, and provided with fun activities. We have a small, enclosed yard where your pup can enjoy some fresh air, sun-tanning, and additional exercise. We also have a beautiful greenbelt right behind our house where there is plenty of room for your dog to roam and play. I know first hand how stressful it can be to leave your 4-legged family member with someone (for both the human and the dog!) so I send daily picture/video updates during your pup's stay so that you can relax and enjoy your vacation! Please note the overnight rate applies to a 24-hour or less period (AM drop-off, AM pick up). Daycare rate may apply if stay is longer (for example, morning drop-off with an afternoon or evening pick-up) -An additional charge for puppies under 2 years of age and to holiday bookings Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
About: I always had dogs when I grew up - usually small silkie terrier, cavalier king charles and maltese. I tend to like bigger dogs now - huskies, bulldogs, Doberman, golden retriever, doodles, poodles, chowchow. I work from home a few days a week and am pretty energic to long morning walks, lunch and long evening walks or parks are great. We only have one person or families pet in the house at a time. Unless you have two dogs. Happy to understand your dog's usual routine first
“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”

Sindhuri has been our rock when it comes to finding someone to walk my puppy, check in on him and feed him. She’s always been there! Most stressful of times when my pup was fixed and I had to leave him home for a few hours, it was her who made me feel at ease. Thank you for being there and making me feel my fur baby is in good hands!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Diablo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Diablo. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
