“Really enjoyed having Thomas as a sitter for my 3 fur children. He was very communicative, easy to work with, and flexible with timing and requests. I have also used his partner as a sitter in the past and these two definitely make a great team. The photos were adorable and my cats seemed pleased (or as pleased as cats can seem) with the care they received. Would book again. Thank you!”
“I really appreciate Mary for coming over to my house and helping with our pup. Her consistency really helped with this stressful week. She even took 1-2 pictures with every visit.”


“Morgan was wonderful from start to finish. We booked a drop-in visit first so Coco could meet her before committing to house sitting, and it turned out to be a perfect match. Coco is the shyest dog in the world and is usually very hesitant around new people. Morgan was incredibly patient and allowed Coco to approach her at her own pace without any pressure. By the end of the visit, Coco was comfortable enough to let Morgan pet her and be close to her, which is something she rarely does with strangers. Morgan is kind, gentle, and clearly understands how to work with nervous dogs. We were so happy to find her and feel very confident leaving Coco in her care. We will definitely be booking house sitting with Morgan and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and patient sitter.”

“I was desperate for someone to help take care of my dog while I was at work but I was nervous of how he would be around a new person. I thought we would have to have several meet and greets before he everyone was comfortable going on a walk just the two of them. She came over and on the first visit she got a kiss out of him! The second visit they went on a walk together and he looked so happy to be out of the house. She made my dog and me feel comfortable and I am so glad I found her.”

“Highly recommend!!! Meaghan not only accepted a pet sit for me on short notice but was a great communicator, kind and kept us informed. She was also super punctual and thoughtful about the meds she was giving and what our dogs needed. I had great peace of mind knowing she was caring for our babies while we were out of town.”

About: Hi! I’m a psychology major at Augusta University and currently work as an RBT supporting autistic children, which has made me patient, attentive, and very comfortable building trust through positive reinforcement. I’ve loved dogs my entire life, especially after owning and training my German Shepherd for 8 years, and I now have a puppy of my own who keeps me enjoying daily walks, park time, and training every day. (For boarding, she would stay with my family so your pet would have my full attention and a calm space.) I especially like working on basic positive reinforcement with treats or a clicker when wanted. I love petting and getting to know every dog I see, so any chance to spend time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I have open availability! Sometimes I may have an appointment or time commitment, but generally I am free throughout the week. I don’t have any scheduling or preference issues with overnight, extended, or evening hours either. I live in a townhome with a fenced patio. The patio has dirt/grass for going potty, a concrete center, and a backdoor that opens to a walking path. I have two floors with the bottom floor being hardwood (accident friendly!). For crate-preferred pets I have a 48in kennel (deep cleaned before and after use), or if crate-averse there is a guest bedroom that would be situated. I bring my own doggy bags and leash, but can use whatever is preferred. If desired I also have Buddy Trainers mini training treats that can be used for positively reinforcing your pet. My default approach is to focus primarily on your pet’s comfort rather than training, with the option of passive training being added into that approach. If boarding, I could take your pet on walks around the very dog-pro community where there are consistently opportunities to socialize, explore, and play in the paths available. Also with boarding my puppy would not share the space and would be at my family’s throughout your pet’s stay. Regardless of whether your pet is boarding at my home or if sitting at your’s, I have no problem deep (and properly) cleaning any accidents that come up. My approach with all pets, especially dogs, is positive reinforcement through doing things they enjoy. I try to set your pet up for success by matching their energy and minimizing any reason to feel anxious, sized up, or uncomfortable in general.

“Amanda is amazing! Professional, communicative, and goes the extra mile even when she didn’t have to! Can’t recommend her enough and will certainly rebook in the future.”

About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since I was 10 or 11, along with watering plants and making sure they get packages inside. I have experience with watching as many as four dogs and two cats at a time, but I can do less... or more :) I've been relied on to feed, walk, bathe, and play with pets and I love every minute of it! My husband is in the Navy and we moved here a few months ago, so I’m still new to the Augusta area. I work as a preschool teacher Monday-Friday, but besides that, I have ample time to devote to the care of your pets! While you take some time away from home to work, vacation, and everything in between, you can always reach out to me to know your pets will be in loving hands! I’m a preschool teacher, so I work 8-2 Monday through Friday! I can offer care before or after those times and on weekends as well. I have a car and a flexible schedule! Starting in mid-May, I will be on summer break until August 10th. This means I will have even more time to spend with your pets while you travel or work! When it comes to taking care of your pets while you’re away, I will gladly drop in or stay at your home. Whenever I’m not working, I want to be with your pets; giving ample amounts of love and play time! I'm comfortable with crating animals if necessary, but I also adore pets who love cuddles and sharing a bed. I also have experience keeping pets safe in a fenced in yard.
“I would highly highly recommend Miranda! She has been pet sitting regularly for me the last month sand I am currently using her weekly. She drops in on my puppy while I am at work letting her outside and giving her water. Highly professional and send photos each time. She also comes over later in the night (I am a night shifter) and also stops in last second for when my plans change! I have tired other Rover sitters and she’s by far the best one.”
About: I’ve been a go-to dog sitter for family and friends for years due to being flexible, reliable, and happy to take care of their furry friends! I am available for boarding most weekends and holidays and usually available for other services during the week after 4 in the afternoon. My availability is somewhat flexible and I try my best to accommodate! I no longer have any pets in my home, so my attention can fully be on yours in a quiet, stress free environment! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I live in a pet friendly neighborhood and near a park where your pet can get lots of outside time!

About: I’ve been dog sitting & cat sitting since I was 17 and have loved it since! I have 1 senior dog, and 2 cats that I couldn’t live without! I’ve been pet-sitting since high school, but have been using it as a side hobby since I’m in college studying social work! I’ve dog sat for puppies-senior dogs, and cats of all ages,I am able to administer medications, and love outside walks/play! I am in school full time, but have a reliable schedule & transportation. Monday/Wednesday/Fridays I am available anytime after 1 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available between 8 AM-11 AM and anytime after 3 PM. I have a fenced backyard but I know many great walking places in the city if applicable. I love playing and enrichment time for all animals.
“Morgan did a fantastic job! Our puppy is a bit of a handful and she took the time to let her warm up to her by playing with her and giving her treats before taking both dogs for a walk so my husband and I could enjoy a night out. She was kind, considerate, and really put my mind at ease even though I was far from home. Thank you Morgan! ❤️”


“Madison was phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about her. She was dependable, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly terrific with dogs. From the beginning, she gave me total confidence that my dog was being cared for by someone who is not only responsible, but who genuinely loves what she does. That combination is rare. Madison is the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find. She was attentive, easy to work with, and gave me real peace of mind while my dog was in her care. I would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone looking for top-tier care.”


“Zaylie was absolutely amazing with Philly! From the very first walk, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She was reliable, communicative, and always kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Philly came back happy, exercised, and clearly well taken care of every time. You can tell Zaylie takes pride in what she does and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”


About: I have lifetime experience caring for pets, from puppies and kittens to adult and senior animals. I’m very patient and calm, which helps nervous or shy pets warm up to me. I’ve basic trained all of my dogs, sit, stay, recall, and leash walking. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, giving lots of affection, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages. Your pet will always be treated with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. I’m currently a college student, and most of my classes are in the mornings. I only have two busy days during the week (Mondays and Fridays), but I still have plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings. The rest of the week I have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to stop by for drop-in visits, walks, or cat care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I make sure they get attention, playtime, and consistent care. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter or regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I spend time playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company depending on what they enjoy. I also keep the home tidy and update owners with pictures and messages so they always know how their pets are doing.

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a 60lb dog and cat in my home with my parter. I have experience fostering and caring for my family members and friends pets as well. I’m currently working full time with a flexible schedule. I’m off most weekends and available to care for pets in my home with full attention. I have a dog park at my gated condo with a dog wash station and very gentle and willing to take time to build trust and care for your pets.

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 Martinez 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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Martinez with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
