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 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.
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.
“Jessica is a trustworthy and committed sitter that made my animals feel loved and well taken care of. I can tell from the pictures of her playing ball with my dogs that they were in heaven with all the attention she was giving them. Great communication and easy-going with great energy.”

About: I have a huge love for animals and I tend to be able to bond with them very well. I have two dogs of my own at home, a border collie and a havanese. I’ve had dogs in my home for the majority of my life, and even before that I had been around dogs a lot, as all of my extended family owns dogs. That being said, I know my profile says I do take puppies under a year old, however they MUST be fully vaccinated, house trained, and able to be left alone for a bit as I am not always able to be in the house 24/7, though I do stay with them as much as possible. I tend to work on a case to case basis for puppies as well as senior dogs. I spent a year volunteering at a local animal shelter where I learned a lot about how to work with cats, and have since cat sat for a friend multiple times over the years. I worked at a kennel with dogs for three months during a summer vacation as well, and I worked at a local dog daycare for almost a year. All of my experience has furthered my knowledge with animal behavior. I recently graduated from the University of Washington and am currently looking for a job! So, for the time being, I am able to be home with your pets almost always. Once I find a full time job, we can discuss a schedule that works for both me and your pets! I will make sure that, since I will be in the animals’ space, I will be respectful of their area and yours as well. I will stick to their normal routine as best as I can and make sure that they are comfortable around me.
“I had some last-minute plans come up and urgently needed someone to look after my dog. Nicole was incredibly accommodating, stepping in on short notice, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for. When booking, I accidentally selected the dog check-in service instead of the dog sitter option. I reached out to Nicole about the mix-up, and she was incredibly understanding. She was very flexible and kindly allowed me to adjust my request. Overall, Nicole was truly amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

“Elizabeth was a pleasure to having as our sitter. Our senior dog needs daily medication, and our youngster is needy and full of energy. We appreciate the time she took with each pup, and I loved the thorough updates. Choose Elizabeth for your pet needs!”

About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my job at 9am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 5pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.
About: I have two years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding, administering medication, and following detailed care instructions to ensure each dog receives proper care and attention. I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and take pride in providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. I work full-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks every day before and after work. My schedule can vary, so I’m happy to discuss specific times when booking to make sure I can give your pup the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs they may have. I also treat each client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, making sure everything is kept clean, secure, and as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.
“As always, I know I can count on Lara’s support. She is very reliable, a great communicator, and Frankie loves her! Don’t hesitate to reach out to her for help with your furry kids!”

“I had a last-minute need for someone to check in on my dog due to a flight delay, and Hailey truly saved the day! She responded quickly, was flexible and reliable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process to ensure my dog was well cared for. I’m so grateful to Hailey for stepping in on such short notice and would highly recommend her for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Hailey!”

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: 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.
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!

About: Hi I am a frequent foster for multiple rescue agencies. Also I have a dog, Andre, who is my baby , and 3 cats, Daffanie, and Moo are my girls and Simba is my naughty boy. I have had pets all my life and am very experienced with pet care. I have cared for dogs through the Task Rabbit app. and I have senior neighbor's that I take care of their dogs. I walk, wash and administer meds as needed. I love spending snuggle/pet time with the pups, I give a great belly rub. With my foster dogs I have corrected resource guarding issues, potty trained, and have trained basic manners, sit,stay,come and not to jump up on people. I am confident and comfortable with dogs. I am available to stay all day at your house. I do all gig work so my time is flexible. I do have a older couple I help twice a week but that is only 2-3 hours twice a week. My yard is fenced and if you have a small dog I stay on the porch with the little ones that could slide through the porch railings. If I am at your house I follow your house rules. If you have a puppy/puppies I will crate them or if you have the puppy enclosure I will put them in there if I need to leave the room.
“Stephanie was great with our little big girl while we were away. She also helped with our little things like giving her a little stroll around our street and picking up poop on our lawn so we didn't come home to a big mess. Our little girl was happy and we're thankful for Stephanie!”

About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Diablo
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!

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!
Kimberly took the best care of my 2 pups while I was away. But more than that, Kimberly took the best care of this nervous doe mom’s heart ❤️ She was so kind; attentive; took lots of pictures and videos that shows how much she cares for both the dogs and the human! I cannot say enough wonderful things!
Highly recommend Maya! Maya provided drop-in visits for our two dogs and four rabbits, and everything went smoothly. Communication was great throughout, she was always prompt, and it was clear our pets were well cared for. We really appreciated the reliability and attention. We will be booking Maya again.
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!

Brooke just took care of our 3 cats and did a fantastic job. She was here on each day we requested, sent photos and made sure our fur babies had everything they needed including some much needed affection. She is really great with animals. I highly recommend her.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Diablo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
