About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, roommates, neighbors, and family. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and basic routines. I’ve also cared for a senior dog with anxiety, and I know how important calm energy, patience, and consistency are. I love being active, going on walks, and spending quality time with dogs. I’m new to Rover, but I take responsibility seriously, follow instructions carefully, and always treat pets like my own. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident. I am a full-time engineer, graduate student, and National Guard service member. I love walking and being active. I am mainly available on weekends and some evenings. Fridays and weekends are my most flexible days, and I plan my bookings around my work schedule so pets always get proper care. I always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules and potty breaks. I keep doors secure, remove anything unsafe, and make sure pets are always supervised when needed.
“Carter did an AMAZING job watching Tocko on our mini vacation! He truly went above and beyond making sure we had peace of mind that our boy was well taken care of. He always sent pictures and made sure to include little details when writing us that made my wife the happiest! He should have more 5 star reviews and we will be more than happy to book with him again in the future!”
“Meaghan was fantastic! She was very responsive and took our reservation last minute which was a life saver. Our doggos were so happy and well taken care of. We loved the pictures she sent when she stopped by! Thank you again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs professionally for 5 years, but have been studying and caring for dogs all my life! I am able to walk dogs of all sizes, administer medications (including insulin and related meds), cut nails, bathe dogs, and do basic training. I am a college student and I also work a part-time job, but I am am away at most for six hours of the day and can come by anytime between school and my job! I will be able to conduct house sitting activities such as basic cleaning, collecting the mail, and any chores in addition to pet care. While your babies are with me, I can guarantee you quality care and love, of course!
About: I absolutely love playing and taking care of animals. I grew up around animals since I was born. Any job required will get done and you will be more than satisfied with my services. I can help potty train, help with tricks, bathe the animal (if you want), & keep them happy during my visit with them or their visit with me in my home. I absolutely don’t like animal abuse so I will not hurt your love one or hit them for their mistake. I simply take care of the issue (ex: using bathroom in the house) by knowing to take them out every so often. I’m very nice and will take care and love on your pet(s) as if they were my own! Overall, please book me early in advance as my schedule can fill up. I also take care of your home as it’s my own and can help with watering plants, making sure trash goes out, getting the mail everyday and I will clean up my area when I stay at your house. I want to make you feel better when you turn home and have to do as little work as possible. I’m currently a college student onto becoming a nurse. I have plenty of time on my hand to accommodate your needs for your sweet pets I currently have a fenced in yard and have two smaller pups. One is more a senior so she’s constantly in bed but the other one has full energy and loves to be friendly with another pups to play with.
“We were very impressed with Emily knowledge of animals and especially for our fur babies. She took such good care of them and I love that she was able to connect with them right off the bat. She sent pictures everytime. Thank you Emily for such great 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: My background sets me apart because I have a reliable and disciplined work ethic from my time in the National Guard, as well as a patient, caring approach to animals, dogs, cats, fish, and small animals. I own two chinchillas! I work part-time as a a Specialist at Apple and a Beauty Advisor at Sephora and am a veteran of the Georgia Army National Guard. I use Rover as a flexible way to earn extra income while saving for travel and future goals, including moving to New York City and eventually buying a home in Augusta. My schedule allows me to stay adaptable, so I’m able to provide reliable, consistent care and be available when needed for pets. I believe pets thrive best when they stay in their own familiar environment, which is why I prefer to care for them in their homes. I follow the pet’s routine closely to build trust and maintain a sense of familiarity, helping reduce stress and anxiety. I also ensure to follow any specific instructions from pet parents to ensure the pet’s well-being and comfort. I would rather pet sit your pet at home than board somewhere they do not know. 🐾
“Huge thanks to Mary for stepping in to do a drop in at the last minute. I have a sitter but needed someone to do a drop in on yesterday as the sitter had to work her day job. My daughter was supposed to do this for me but canceled on me. Mary was there to help which made me feel so much better while on vacation. Thank you Mary.”

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.

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 $30 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 496 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
