“Dorothy: Simply the best!!! Who else would WaLK through hurricane ravaged streets and downed trees and power lines to ensure my pups were safe and out of harms way??! Only Dorothy!”
About: I have 20 years of pet care experience and have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and other animals throughout my life. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and routines, and I always focus on providing calm, reliable, and loving care. Every pet I care for is treated with patience, attention, and respect. I’m a realtor who works from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. If I ever need to step out for an appointment or something unexpected comes up, I always communicate ahead of time so you know what to expect. Other than that, I’m wide open for early morning-late evening visits and can work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring environment and always follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay on their normal routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to treating every pet and home with respect and care.
“Melissa was great with our Forest again, even though he was a little cranky at a couple visits. I appreciate all of her detailed updates and great photos! It always puts me at ease when I know my kitty will be well taken care of and loved while I'm away.”
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.
“Jennifer is the best! She takes such good care of our Charlie girl! We love reading the notes she leaves and the pictures she shares from her visits. It’s so nice to know our pup is truly taken care of while we are away. Thanks Jennifer! Highly Recommend!”
“Devin is absolutely fantastic - I can’t recommend her enough! She sends updates (w/ pictures) after each visit and maintains all the little quirks your pets may have. 10/10 every time 😊”
“I cannot say enough good things about Amanda! Rocco and Matteo love her and looked forward to her visits throughout the day! She was very attentive to their needs, checked in on time and stayed longer when she felt they needed her too. She made this anxious dog mama feel so much better that she was there for them and I could enjoy my trip. I will not hesitate to call on her again for any vacation or out of town trips. Thank you so much Amanda! You are so appreciated!”
“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!”
“Nina was very kind and communicative about Chief when we needed someone to let him out a few times when we were out of town for the day. We would for sure book with her again:)”
“Caitlin was great checking in on Violet. It was super last minute, so Violet was the only one that actually got to meet her in person. Even with a storm she gave me peace of mind that Violet would be checked on.”
“Valerie is awesome, she’s very attentive and knowledgeable about dogs. Highly recommend her. She sent us pictures and even went so far as to observe their bowl movements to see how their health was while we were gone. I will be using her in the future whenever we travel!”
“I can't say enough nice things about Hannah, she is absolutely amazing! She watched my two elderly cats for two weeks, and did a fantastic job. I absolutely hate leaving them and typically worry the whole time I'm away, but after the meet and greet I knew they would be well cared for and safe. They both liked her immediately which is extremely rare for one of them. That same cat doesn't do well with being left, she's always extremely clingy and lethargic when we return home. This was the very first time, (and she's 13 years old) she seemed happy and unconcerned by our absence! It really showed how comfortable and secure she felt. Hannah is kind, professional, and quick to respond. I'd hire her again in a second!”
“Nicole was a pleasure to meet. You can tell right away that she’s an animal person! She showed up as scheduled and hung out with my guys. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Brandi was awesome with our dogs. Always there on time and the dogs love her! It was so nice to be able to go somewhere and not have to worry about my dogs at a kennel not getting the attention that Brandi gave them. I will definitely be rebooking with Brandi on our next trip/vacation.”
“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.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing! She made sure to make our dog feel so comfortable and loved. She always made sure to do everything we requested so that nothing in our dog’s routine would be different. Will be rebooking in the future!”
“Elana is very professional and caring. We were very fortunate to have booked her last minute before a holiday weekend. She was promt with all her visits, sent us loads of pictures of her snuggling and playing with our babies each time, and we had no concerns they were in good hands. Elana kept great communication as well. We won't hesitate to ask her to sit for us again. Highly recommend!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Martinez on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 510 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Martinez. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Martinez. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
