“Aja was a very attentive dog sitter. She made sure to set up an initial “Meet and Greet” at our home, to meet and acquaint herself with our dog and us. She then came again, before our departure date to go over everything again. She communicated well, providing updates to her care to our dog. She was respectful of our home, you would not have even known she was here! When we came home, our dog definitely did not seem neglected. I would definitely recommend Aja as a dog companion when you need one.”
“I needed a dog sitter at the last minute due to a family emergency. I was thrilled that Shayla was available and willing to help us out. I was 800 miles from home, so she had to coordinate with my husband beforehand. Everything went well, and I will definitely reach out to her again for help.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and it's something I genuinely love. As a young, active dog owner myself, I understand that every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of fun! Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring, or curling up for belly rubs, I'll make sure they feel right at home. I treat every dog like they're part of my own family and always focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress free experience. Your best friend is in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite sitter! 🐾❤️ I currently work 9 to 5 Tuesday through Friday in Port Townsend. I could do nighttime watching/sitting after my daytime job. I am free most weekends anytime and now available on Mondays anytime. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your furry family member, so I treat both with the same respect and care I would my own. I'll stick to your dog's routine, provide plenty of love, exercise, and attention, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, well cared for, and in trusted hands. My goal is for you to come home to a happy dog and a home that's been cared for just as you left it.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I regularly walked dogs and pet sat for neighbors, gaining experience caring for pets of all different personalities and energy levels. Later in life, I was a proud cat dad and beagle dad for many years. Having been a pet parent myself, I understand just how much our animals mean to us and how important it is to know they're in good hands. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch with a furry friend. I'm an active, outdoorsy person who loves hiking and exploring, so I'm always happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise and attention. At the same time, I'm just as happy providing a calm, comfortable environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I miss having pets of my own, and I'm excited for the opportunity to share that love and affection with yours! My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I'm new to the Seattle area and currently have plenty of free time and flexibility in my schedule! I do other part-time work that allows me to set my own hours, so it's easy for me to plan my days around pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs some company during the workday, a regular walking buddy, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. One of the things I'm most excited about as I settle into the area is making some new furry friends, and I'd love to make caring for your pets a regular part of my routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a former dog and cat parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I gave my own, while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and needs. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking your pup on a walk, or staying in your home, I do my best to keep your pets feeling safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to exercise routines and any special care requirements. On walks, I'm attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and prioritize your dog's safety over anything else. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I understand that I'm also being trusted with your home. I'll always treat your space with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I'm also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands! Above all, I want your pets to feel like they're spending time with a trusted friend, not a stranger. Whether that means an exciting walk, some energetic playtime, or simply a little extra love and companionship, I'm happy to give them the love and care that they need!
About: I love pets! I’m hoping to get regular customers and branch out on this small but comfy island while also giving your pets the best care possible! I’ve had German Shepards since I was could walk and grew up with a Yorkie named Diamond, so I’m accustomed to big and small dogs alike! I hope you consider me to take care of your precious fur babies! I’m in the military, but after 3:00 pm on weekdays my schedule is flexible and can be altered to fit your needs! I am also available on weekends, just let me know in advance so I can clear my schedule for you! A house-sitter and pet-sitter all in one! I hope I can make yourself and your fur babies comfortable by taking care of them in the comfort of their own home.

“Craig has been very helpful for his time with my puppy Mark Darcy. He fed Mark on time and walks him every day. He also paid attention to details in my instructions and took action to accomplish those. Mark loves being with Craig! Recommend!”
“Kat is hands down the best sitter we have ever had. As someone who has done Rover for 10 years myself, and has had trial and error with sitters before, I can honestly say she is the absolute best! Both of our dogs were smitten with her from the moment she walked in the door for a meet & greet. She sent the cutest photos, gave great updates, and really tailored her attention to each dog’s needs. She was sweet, polite, so clean that she left no footprint, incredibly caring and prompt! She stayed with our pups later than planned after our flight got delayed multiple times. She even left the sweetest note and Polaroids from her stay! 110% going to be using her time and time again!”

If you are looking for a responsible person to shower your 4~legged companions with oodles of TLC, look no further. I am available to care for your pet(s) at your home or mine.

Thank you for your consideration. ~Claudia I am a retired RN so your dog(s) would have me to keep them company all day along with our own 2 dogs (4 yr old Basset Hound and 8yr old English Springer Spaniel) who both neutered very dog friendly males. We have a lovely fully fenced 8+ acres property and comfy home for your dog(s) to have the run of along with our 2 dogs. We are both home all day and there is always someone here at all times. No dog is left home alone. We also have a caretaker who tends to the the 2 horses and mini donkey (whom live in separate pastures from the main property, as well as / goats that live in a back pasture.

“Natalie is amazing! She has been watching our pitbull every Monday for the last month or so and we always come home to a happy and well-cared for puppy. She’s very relaxed and sweet, easy to trust, and most importantly loves Peony. We love having her over and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Kina was a great sitter! She was attentive to Finn’s needs considering he was on the last few days of kennel cough. She came for a meet and greet before and hit it off with Finn. When we left I felt comfortable and confident having her in my home and to watch Finn. With frequent updates and pictures I was able to see my baby from far away. She asked permission before taking him to a nature park and then allowed him to have an amazing time as well. I would definitely use Kina again and recommend her to those looking. ?”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs since I was 9 years. I have dog sat/house sat for my family and friends every year. I also have fostered. Pet sitting/walking does go perfectly with my schedule as a work from home everyday and can walk, check in, and feed as frequently as needed. I don’t have any pets currently since I recently moved here which promotes comfortability for certain dogs and I have experience with many different dogs including anxious furr babies.

“Alyssa is absolutely amazing! Our circumstances changed during our booked time and Alyssa was incredibly understanding and flexible. She took great care of our pets and sent many pictures. Our dog went on many daily walks and she took the time to play with both the cat and dog during her visits. She communicates consistently and took away the stress of being away from our fur babies. We couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her for any future trips.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,296 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Discovery Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Discovery Bay walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Discovery Bay maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Discovery Bay choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Discovery Bay. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
