“Nancy was great with our Gus. Although he is 8 years old, this was the first time he was home by himself for an extended period so we wanted to make sure he got lots of love and visits. Nancy sent us pictures and updates while we were gone. We could tell Gus enjoyed her visits and he was well taken care of.”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
“Jennifer was great and available at the last minute. She came when we scheduled, left notes, and even brought treats (asking about allergies first of course). Highly recommended! Thank you!”
About: I trained my reactive childhood dog at 16, and had great success! After he passed, I began volunteering at my local shelter. I can’t afford a dog right now, so I have much love saved up to share with everyone else’s dogs! I work part time, and I’m in school. I’m free Mondays after 2pm and Wednesdays after 2pm - Thursday before 4pm for an overnight stay. I have a separate unit in my home where my cats stay when dogs come over, so don’t worry if your dog isn’t cat friendly! I have a large fenced yard, with lots of things to sniff and squirrels to chase.
About: I absolutely love dogs and all animals! I’m available pretty much full time! I have worked with dogs and done dog walking and boarding for a while now and truely find animals to be my passion! I have very cool trails by my house that range from 1 miles to 5 miles. I also have two great dog parks less than 2 miles away! I even have a small dog park in my neighborhood. I would take care of all their specific needs and update the owners with videos and pictures and check ups through out the day! you would not be disappointed by choosing me to care for your pup! I am home full time and work from home. I would have a lot of time to spend with your animals!

About: I have had dogs and other animals all my life. I take my dog on a walk every day and am happy to help out those who need help making sure their best friends gets exercise. Pet care is a huge priority for me and basically my primary job. I only part time for odd jobs at this time which is why I am available for so many services.

“Tamiko was wonderful this past wknd with my 2 furry guys!! She did 2 drop-in visits on both days and was great communicating with me about my two young cats, checking in and out, sending pics, playing with especially my youngest, etc. I am glad I found Tamiko, as she also lives very close by -- super convenient!!

About: My experience pet and housesitting is extensive. I also love to get out in nature with my furry friends so they get plenty of attention and exercise. I own a cleaning business with my best friends so my schedule is my own and always flexible. Usually gone only a couple hours at a time. Feeding, bathing, walking and play are all part of my care. I am also very conscious of special needs and keeping to any particular routine.
About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including a beloved dog (sisi) who lived to 23 years old. I now have a dog (Arbie) who is almost two. To me, dogs are like children and deserve endless love, patience, and understanding. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and affection I give my own. ❤️ Your furry baby will always have company and won’t be left home alone. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. ❤️ I want every dog in my care to feel right at home, surrounded by love, attention, and plenty of toys to play with! I also have indoor cameras that allow me to monitor the dogs and keep an extra eye on their well-being. Their comfort and safety are always a priority
“Erin was super helpful. I had booked her last minute and she was able to help me which I greatly appreciated. Kept Neoh happy, cleaned up after him, and was on time each visit. Thank you again for all your help!”
About: Local to Bay Area/Crockett for 2026 holiday sitting — I am very interested in providing my services ASAP, please reach out if you’re interested in booking! Happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks. Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pet, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️ *Currently accepting requests within a ~25 mile radius of Crockett, CA - just ask!*
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!
“Indie was amazing! She took great care of our cat, Teddy, and he absolutely loved her. She sent us wonderful photos and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and tidying up, things we didn’t ask for but really appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and would absolutely book with Indie again!”
“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!”

This was my first time working with Jess! She dropped in for a one hour sitting with Zeppelin and was excellent. She was prompt, and her communication was amazing. She left a detailed summary of the visit that left me feeling very safe and I could tell my frenchie was a happy boy and excited to see her again next time! Jess is professional while remaining warm and putting animals at ease. We will be booking Jess again!
Telena has watched our shy kitty only twice, but has somehow managed to bring her out of her shell!! It normally takes our cat a long time before she warms up to people and she will usually just hide the whole time. But this time she came out and hung out with Telena which is so cool to see! Telena is super patient and kind with our cat, and very responsive while we’re out of town. I highly recommend her services !! Thanks Telena !!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Martinez is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 11,293 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Martinez. 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 .
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 , 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 Martinez. On Rover:
- 85% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
