Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.

Stefanie is the best. She takes great care of my rambunctious 2 frenchies and they adore her. She's very conscientious and prompt and I know my pups are getting attention and being well cared for.

About: Previously owned and trained our family dog until his passing some years ago. I have birds, fish, and have been caring for family friends' dogs. I am currently willing to help, care, and walk your dogs. A great way to fill in the time as I stay home, go to school, and improve life as to looking forward to care for your dog. My dog was fed a mix of wet and dry food, water bowl always full, and daily drive/park/play/walks/hikes (regarding the weather at the current moment of time).

About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and currently have two energetic huskies, so I’m very comfortable with active breeds that need plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available in the evenings, on weekends, and on many holidays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every visit. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of attention while treating your home with the utmost respect. I always double-check leashes, gates, and doors to keep pets safe, and I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the best possible care.

About: I have always had pets including fish, cats, dogs and a chinchilla. I have pet sit 4 dogs at a time and house sat for family and friends. Over the summer I work, go to school and play sports part time, but I have a good amount of time in the morning and afternoon to check in on all animals! I have a fenced backyard, friendly dogs and experience with dogs and cats. In your home I will ask for specific instructions on pet and home care to ensure the best care and experience with your pets!

About: I have had pets my entire life. I raised my two (now adult) children surrounded by animals including multiple dogs, cats, chickens, goats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, parakeets, geckos, etc... This is the first time in my life that I do not have a furry or feathered friend to care for, as my fiancee and I are still getting settled in our home. This is a perfect way for me to get my animal fix and love on your doggies who will get my full attention. I'm a part time college art student with a pretty flexible schedule. I am home most of the time. My fiancee also works from home. I have a fenced back yard and walking trails right by my home. My home has plenty of space for a crate or any other accommodations your pet might need. I do not currently have any pets of my own, so your babies will get my full attention.

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I understand that each dog has its own unique personality, and I strive to create a customized and comfortable environment that suits their individual needs. I am also highly reliable and trustworthy, and I take great pride in providing top-quality care that puts both you and your pup at ease. With me as your dog sitter, you can rest assured that your furry companion is in good hands and will receive the attention and care they deserve. Since I have a flexible work schedule at home, I am able to integrate furry friends care into my daily routine. I start my day with a morning walk or playtime session to give my furry friend the exercise and attention they need before starting my workday. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to spend time with my furry friend, playing with them, or taking them out for a quick walk to stretch their legs. I also make sure to stick to a consistent feeding schedule and ensure that my pet has access to fresh water throughout the day. In the evening, I dedicate time to my pet by taking them out for a longer walk or playing with them before settling in for the night. I believe it's important to give my pet the attention and care they deserve, and I strive to create a balance between my work and pet responsibilities As a dog sitter who cares for pets in my home, I strive to create a comfortable and loving environment for my furry guests. Upon arrival, I greet each dog with a warm welcome, providing them with a comfortable and clean space to call their own. I ensure they have access to fresh water and I follow the owner's specific instructions for their feeding schedule.Throughout the day, I make sure to take them out for regular potty breaks, and I provide plenty of playtime and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I am available for any cuddles or comforting if they require it. Throughout their stay, I provide plenty of love, attention, and care, making sure each dog feels like a member of my family until it's time for them to return home to their own.

We’ve used Caitlin a few times over the past couple years for our 3 cats. She follows instruction great, takes good care of our cats (even giving medicine to one cat and searching the house to find our hiding cats when they don’t come out). She was also very flexible when we had our baby and needed to move dates and times around a lot last minute. She’s always quick to reply as well. Will use her and again and would recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pacheco on Rover is $26.75 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 11,299 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pacheco. 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 Pacheco 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 Pacheco. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
