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 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!”
“Amanda did an amazing job caring for my dog while I was away. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly love animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver.”
“Dorothy does a great job of taking care of our kitty when we are away! We never have to worry. She has worked to befriend our elderly, somewhat aloof cat and she has succeeded!”
“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!”
“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:)”
“This was my first time using Rover because I wasn’t sure if I would be okay with someone being in home without us, but Caitlin was awesome! She was very reliable, punctual, and continuously communicated with me the entire time. She loved on Shaka, took pictures, and sent them to me, which made me feel even better. I would definitely use her again. Thanks so much Caitlin and Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!”
“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!”
“Jennifer did a great job with Piper! She took great care of my pup, had great communication and was easy to coordinate and communicate with. Will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of two French Bulldogs—a mother and her son. I’ve been involved in every stage of their care, from assisting with the birth of a litter to administering medications and routine injections when needed. I’ve also cared for as many as eight puppies at one time, so I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs while ensuring each receives plenty of attention and care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll tailor my care to their needs. I work full time, but I’m available before and after work as well as on weekends, allowing me to provide dependable care and consistent communication. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own.

“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.”
“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.”
“Once again Melissa was awesome with Forest! I can tell he likes her because he always eats his food which he will not do if he has any stress. She sends the best pictures we even got a video of him playing! He also had a hairball on the carpet which she cleaned up - the spot is completely gone. So happy we have her to watch over our kitty and home while we are away. She is awesome!”
“Amanda was fantastic! Communicative, on-time, inquisitive, and does extremely well with large dogs. I will definitely look to book her for future drop-in visits.”
“Monica was such a blessing to me to take care of my Maddi during my long work hours. She provided lots of pictures and videos during her visits and always communicated clearly to me. Monica took good care of Maddi and gave her lots of love!🩷”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had rodents, birds, goats, cats, and dogs. I currently have 2 cats. I have all of the equipment for dogs, as I lost my fur-girl a few years back unexpectedly. I love animals wholeheartedly. Your pet would be in wonderful hands. I currently am a full-time student, but am able to hang with fur friends in the hours that I am not in class or at clinical. I’m pretty flexible and easy to work with! Just message me :) My goal is to pet-sit in the client’s home or my own home. I am a very clean, organized person and would take the pet-sitting seriously with a large respect for your space and your animal.

Thomas is the absolute best sitter on Rover! 🐾 We booked Thomas again for over a month. He visited our two senior cats, ages 19 and 20, daily on time and proactively communicated with us. He went way beyond his duties by checking our mailbox and rolling out the trash bin. He clearly loves animals, as you can see on his profile and by just how he interacts with our cats, who obsessed over him instantly! Even our senior kitty with CKD looked visibly perkier and happier under his care. His daily photo updates were top-tier (he truly knows their best angles)! Seeing how relaxed and comfortable our senior kitties were with Thomas gave us total peace of mind. It's such a big deal not having to constantly worry about our fur babies while on vacation. We highly recommend him if you want a reliable, communicative, and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐈🐈 Thank you Thomas!
Brandt took wonderful care of our two cats! We had issues with our water while we were away, and Brandt was kind to offer to water over for them. We appreciated the updates throughout the weekend and his extra attention to our playful kitten! Brandt is very attentive, kind, and his love for his work and animals is very clear -- we would recommend him as a pet sitter to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Martinez on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 506 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.
