About: I love caring for my friends' pets when they're away for the weekend! I'm equally a dog and cat person and have experience looking after both. I'd love to give your pets the same care and attention while you're away! I have a really flexible schedule on the weekends, so I'm happy to work around your plans! I also enjoy getting some movement in the morning, so if your pup loves an early adventure, I'm more than happy to take them along. I can easily crate your animal if needed. I do not have a backyard area or balcony. Animals are free to roam around wherever they please.

About: I provide loving, reliable pet care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or walks, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from playtime and cuddles to feeding schedules and medications if needed. You can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of love while you’re gone! I am currently a hairstylist and have a very flexible schedule. I often have brakes in between clients so I can check on your pets frequently. At home, my pets are treated like family. I keep them on a consistent routine with regular feeding, fresh water, daily exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. Clean spaces, lots of love, and a calm, safe environment are always my priority.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule.

About: I just currently got my first puppy, he is a lab husky mix and is my entire heart! However before him I have had many family and friend dogs that I treated as my own. I have experience training a puppy now, and it’s been a whirlwind but wouldn’t trade it for the world! I would always treat your fur baby as my own! Due to my full time job I am only available on the weekends. I can do Fridays after 5:30pm, and all day Saturdays and Sundays! I would spend quality time with your pup and do feeding and outside play time! For their walks the time/distance is all up to you and what your pup is comfortable with. I am very flexible and know that every dog is different :)
“Maya is amazing! I loved seeing all the pictures and knowing my Sasha bear was being taken care of. She even covered an extra night last minute due to the storm. I highly recommend her!”
About: My experience caring for animals spans my entire life! Growing up we always had a full house of furry creatures from dogs to cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, fish, and even a turtle at one point! I learned from a young age to take care of animals and view them as part of the family. My sister and I fostered dogs in high school and that experience trained me to pay attention to each animals distinct personality and needs. Just like people, animals have emotions and temperaments and need to be understood as individuals. I have loved and cared for pets of every shape and size and from every walk of life — from stray puppies and kittens to elderly cats and dogs who need special attention. I work part-time and have flexibility to work with you and your furry friends specific needs. Whether you are looking for a simple dog walk or need someone to be in your home for an extended period of time caring for your pets and space, you can count on me to put your mind at ease. If your pets do not need overnight care, I offer drop in visits. This is ideal for cats and for dogs who do not need someone to sleepover. For pets who need overnight care or if you want the security of someone spending the night in your home, I offer house sitting services. In my home your pet will enjoy a spacious, shady and grassy fenced in back yard. Walks around my neighborhood are a joy with tons of options of parks and trails to explore. I have two happy dogs and cats to add to your pets circle of friends! At your place your pets will enjoy being in the comfort of their own space when we’re not on a stroll in your neighborhood or playing fetch (or sunbathing if that’s what your pet enjoys!) outdoors.

“Sarah takes great care of our kittens. Always very kind and keeps you updated on how everything is going. I have no fears leaving our kittens with her, and I couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: Hi there! I'm Reagan, your pet's new best friend! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m here to make sure your furry family member is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs and personality. Reliable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about animals — I treat every pet like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! As a military spouse, I’m looking for a fun and meaningful way to fill my time while providing loving care to pets in my community. I’m available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer reliable walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I would love the opportunity to give them the attention, companionship, and love they deserve while you’re away! Unfortunately I am unable to do pet care in my own home at the moment due to apartment complex having pet policies to ensure residents and their pets a safe home.
“Lilliana was absolutely amazing! Very communicative as she sent me pictures and updates every day. My pups loved her and she went out of her way to make sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I 10/10 will be requesting her in the future”

“Heather was great, so professional and helped us out on short notice. Sent plenty of pictures and updates, such a great experience ❤️ thanks for taking care of Lucy!!”
“My Iverson is an handful to say the least but Jessica is well equipped to handle him. Iverson jumps, nips and tugs on the leash like hr is playing tug of war. She displays extreme patience and goes above and beyond to ensure Iverson is safe. Also she stays the whole 30 minutes, I really like that!!!”
About: Hello, I'm Marissa and I'm dying to meet your pets! I've been a professional in the pet industry for many years with knowledge in the areas of dog behaviorism, body language, monitoring social settings, administering meds, as well as pet nutrition. Between this experience and being a lifelong pet owner and current mom of 2 pups and cat, I sometimes feel like I've seen it all. There's no breed, size, or age of furry friends I don't adore! My goal is to provide the top quality comfort and care to any pet, so all pet parents can rest easy. If I'm by your pet's side, it's a guarantee they're having a good time! Currently I'm employed part-time early in the mornings as a barista, so often my afternoons are free for quality time with your furry friends :] I can only offer services within client homes (i live in an apartment with 2 dogs, one being reactive) however I have the flexibility to accommodate different schedules and the experience to provide top quality care for your pets.
“Wonderful sitter! Very loving and kind with our pup and tailored the activities to Sophie’s energy level. Was able to take our last minute request which was quite helpful. We will use again!”

Valerie was fantastic! She saved my butt and came to check in on my girlies on super short notice. She sent ample pictures and updates, and I can tell my girls really liked her. I would definitely recommend her for your babies, because she takes the job seriously and has the bandwidth to dedicate her attention completely to them.
Jennifer took great care of my not 1 not 2 but 3 doggos!! She kept me updated with pictures and played with them throughout the drop in visits!! She handled all of my 3 doggos personalities! My small young yapaholic, my oldest protector, and my chungus who chills! I recommend her greatly and will for sure do it again!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Martinez is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 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.

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.
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 Martinez 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
