“Chanay takes the stress away with leaving Danner & Junior at home while I travel. Both are senior guys, and she does so well with them. So dependable, kind and trustworthy! Thank you Chanay!”

“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy having pets around. I know how much our pets mean to us and how hard it can be to leave them when we’re away, so I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I’m also comfortable giving extra attention to pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little time to warm up. My goal is simple: to care for your pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, love, and lots of attention. 🐾❤️ I’m currently in midwifery school and have found that my schedule doesn’t allow for full nursing shifts anymore! I love walking and I love animals so I having the opportunity to offer an 30-60 minutes of love to someone’s dog is so special for me! I currently offer pet care exclusively in your home, because I think pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own space and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, meals, and cuddles while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.

About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.

About: Experienced animal lover who grew up with dogs and understands the care and responsibility they need. Trustworthy, reliable, and comfortable with walking, feeding, and providing loving care. Im currently unemployed. So that means I am available whenever! I am an animal lover and would love to spend my time with your beloved pets. My home has a 6ft Fence that will keep your beloved pets in. There are no other pets here. Safe atmosphere. Also willing to make any accommodation in your home.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals on dairy farms and my dad's veterinarian practice. I have always had cats and dogs and sometimes a turtle. I have been taking care of friend's and family pets as well as a horse occasionally. I am currently between positions as a professional educator and am looking to fill my time and make some extra money. I am usually available all days. We have a fenced yard and 2 65 pound rescue mutts and 1 rescue calico cat. I only walk dogs on fixed leashes and will inspect your home and clean up any potential accidents.

About: I love dogs. Growing up, I've cared for several family dogs, including a shih-poo named Kirby, a german shepherd/lab/husky mix named Beauty, and two miniature golden doodles named Amber and Rusty. I volunteered weekly as a 'Canine Companion' at the Humane Society for three and a half years, walking, training and cleaning up after dogs, and providing feedback to help them find homes. I had a few hours of formal dog training at the Humane Society. My wife used to work as a vet tech, so she's also a great source of knowledge for animal care that I draw from. I drive from Hillsboro to Portland to drop my wife off at College at 10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; I pick her up at 6pm. I can attend to clients in both locations and Beaverton since I drive this route often. I have a cat in a two bedroom apartment. There's a lot of other dogs and leashless dog parks in the area, which is ideal if your dog is friendly with other animals. I'm used to caring for my friend's cats in his home, bringing in his mail and tending his garden. I bring a calm, quiet presence that keeps the cats relaxed.
About: Animal lover. Give me details about what your pet needs and I will provide great care. I have 10 years of pet sitting experience. I will walk your dogs and clean up messes. I will feed according to their schedule and most importantly provide them with the love and care I would want as if they are my own. I can do drop in’s to clients nearby and overnight stays to anyone as far as 15 miles away, but for overnight stays I would prefer that my own dog (very friendly) would be able to come too. I communicate very well and will be happy to send photos of your dogs so you can see them while you are away at work or on vacation. Thank you for considering me. I work 3 days per week but am still able to provide love and care to your pets on these days. I only work 3 days per week, so am able to be at home for 4 days to care for your pet. I am a huge animal lover so will make sure your pets get what they need, especially on the days I am working. At this time I am not accepting any boarding requests but thank you for the consideration. I am accepting in home requests for your pets!
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and I’m deeply committed to providing the same level of love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, handling leashed walks, and maintaining a calm, safe environment. My priority is making sure your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve recently moved back to the Portland area to finish school online, so my schedule is wide open to care for your pets! Text me and let me know how I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs!

About: Hello! :) I run a studio called Puppies & Painting, previously managing Puppies & Yoga. Every weekend I care for (alongside another staff member) up to 14 puppies for 8 hours at a time. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From playing at the park or a long hike to a specific medication schedule, i’m here for all their needs :) I’m currently running a Puppies & Painting studio on Saturdays and part time during the week as an art teacher at an afterschool arts program. My goal is to be a full time animal nanny 🫶🏻 I live in an apartment with my partner and cat. My cat is very shy and will mind her own business when another animal enters our space. I spend a lot of time outside, whether your animal likes long walks or sitting in a park for hours - i’m here to accommodate for their needs :)
About: I love cats and dogs, and grew up with large dogs. I walk and run a LOT so dogs usually love being taken care of by me. Cats feel special as I make sure to give them love if they want it, otherwise they have food, clean water, and a clean litter box every day! Pets tend to really like me and although I'm not a professional dog trainer, I know how to encourage positive behavior. I'm super responsible and reliable, and I have been asked to house sit numerous times since I'm also really clean and quiet and take very good care of people's homes. I'm currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule. 9a until evening. And I am available on the weekends. If I stay at the house, that can happen any time during the week. I have been entrusted to care for many homes and cherished pets, and do so with great care! I'm very clean, quiet, and responsible. I love being able to take dogs for walks and to be able to give cats attention or at least fresh food!
About: Hi there! My name is Brandon Foley and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Black Lab, and my cat. I also helped my Aunt with her pet sitting business in Chicago. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your pet! I take dog watching very seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during your time away.

About: I offer dog sitting in your Home Overnight! I have lived with three dogs throughout my life. I adore dogs and love to nurture and play with them.

My requirements are as follows: 1) Meet the dog previous to stay and make sure it's a good match. 2) Your dog (s) have all vaccinations current paperwork to be provided at initial meeting 3) No more then 3 dogs per overnight stay/per home.

About: Hi, I’m Fresca, your pet’s new favorite human! 🐾 I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my whole life, and I genuinely love spending time with animals—whether it’s tossing a ball, going on a sniff-filled stroll, or just hanging out on the couch for some solid cuddle time. I understand every pet has their own personality and needs, and I make it my mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own—with love, attention, and lots of fun. I work a 7-hour workday, a few days of the week, which means I’m away for a portion of the day—but I make sure pets in my care get plenty of love, attention, and exercise before and after work. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles, and I always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep their routine—and your home—just how you like it. I stick to feeding schedules, walk routes, and all those little details that make your pet feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs daily meds, your cat has a favorite sunny window, or your senior dog needs a slower pace, I’ve got it covered with patience and care. I’m also happy to bring in the mail, water your plants, adjust lights, or work with any security systems you have in place. Basically—I’m here to give you total peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels like they never skipped a beat. And yes—you’ll absolutely get plenty of photo updates and cute check-ins while you’re gone. Because your fur baby deserves their own vacation report card 🐾💌

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,651 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hayward. 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 Hayward. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
