“Stephanie was incredible. She did a great job with drop-in visits to care for our two cats, Cleo & Bubba. She is very knowledgeable about and clearly loves cats. We are so appreciative that Stephanie went above and beyond by skillfully dealing with our significant ant invasion while we were gone.”
“Our 2 furry guys (cats) have been lovingly cared for by Megan during three different trips away from home now (drop-in visits), and we wouldn't hesitate to ask Megan to do so again!! It is so wonderful & re-assuring to know they are being well cared for when we are away 😊”
“Joseph had great communication and is very good with dogs. Our three dogs are insane and he was very patient with them. He would often have surprised waiting for him when he would perform his visits (dogs destroying things while alone). He went above and beyond to make sure we didn't worry while we were gone and even brought in our trash cans without being asked to. We would gladly use Joseph again to watch our rowdy trio.”
“Taylor is most excellent! She knew and provided just what Gracie and I needed, and more! I believe I hit the jackpot when I found Taylor! So kind, sweet, understanding and helpful!”
“Christopher was great! He was super communicative throughout the entire stay, and I felt like our cats were in good hands. I would definitely have him watch our cats again in the future.”
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: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.
About: I understand how nerve racking it can feel to leave your pet with someone you don’t even know. That’s why I am going to send daily updates, I am going to send photos every day, I am going to make sure your pet is able to stay in there same routine there use to, so they don’t even realize that your gone! I grew up with dogs and love caring for them. I’ll supervise them, while my teenage Daughter is always around to give extra love and playtime. I keep my prices low because I genuinely love dogs! 🐶 I’d honestly care for them for free because spending time with them makes me happy. I just want to give your furry friends lots of love and attention without the expensive price tag! 🐾. I’m available to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and time to relax when needed to. I work from home so I am always available! Your dog safety comes first! I’ll supervise them throughout their stay, our home has a big backyard where they can safely play roam and relax. Everything is tightly fenced off, so no escaping here!
“Dede was fantastic! She took great care of my boys, and was swift with a potty accident that happened after we left. Our eldest, Bilbo, has a tendency to show his disproval that way... but Dede was a trooper! She kept us updated on their temperaments the whole time we were gone. They absolutely loved her company! We came back and it was like we were never gone, they welcomed us without giving us the cold shoulder, couldn't be happier with how well Dede took care of them :-).”
“Professional, kind, caring person who can think on her feet and easily problem solve. Everything you want and need in the person taking care of your fur babies. Highly recommend!”
“Kamila was great and super helpful when we needed a sitter for our two cats. Communicated well and always arrived on time. Both cats were happy & healthy when we got home and even my cat that’s shy with strangers quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Nancy is really awesome. She has watched my dogs twice and the second time was a more urgent matter and she was able to help me out :’) she updates if they are, poop or pee which is helpful to know! Nancy is the best!”
About: I grew up with German Shepherd mix (he was my brother since I’m an only child). I am reliable and I love treating the animals like they are my own! I work as a Realtor so my schedule has flexibility. Letting the dog out for potty breaks and getting walks is a breeze for my schedule. 3+ years on Rover and 10+ in caring for animals with my own business, I am a trusted pet care partner. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. I provide various updates, texts and photos. I secure all gates and doors before leaving.
“Indie was amazing! She took great care of our cat, Teddy, and he absolutely loved her. She sent us wonderful photos and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and tidying up, things we didn’t ask for but really appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and would absolutely book with Indie again!”
“Pri was a fantastic sitter for our kitty Boris! He REALLY took to her and enjoyed spending time snuggling with her. It was comforting to know she was there with our guy. Pri was very communicative and we knew our boy was in good hands. We definitely recommend Pri!”
About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy. Availability: 7 days a week (morning through early evening) Service Area: Walnut Creek and nearby neighborhoods Contact me through Rover to schedule your Meet & Greet today! I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.
“Sierra and Karma were so sweet with my elder cat Lou. He can be finicky but had no problem attaching onto them immediately and getting all the cuddles in the world. It’s great to be able to trust Sierra & Karma with both of my pets, who have completely opposite needs. They know how to do it all!”

Thank you for taking such good care of our little Turbo and understanding all the instructions for him with the property. Even when something last minute has come up, he has always done his best to accommodate, a total lifesaver with my lifestyle!! Appreciate you and plan to use you for as long as we can!
Taylor was a wonderful sitter for my cat. He warmed up to her right away, even though he is typically very shy. I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed toward both him and me. Taylor provided wonderful photos and detailed Rover Cards throughout each visit, which was especially reassuring for me. She also handled his slightly complicated meal preparation with ease and demonstrated excellent attention to detail. I look forward to working with Taylor again in the future and would absolutely recommend her cat sitting services. Thank you again for everything, you made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands!
Saylor did an excellent job taking care of my kitties. She even earned the trust of the extremely timid one, which is a feat that no other sitter and many friends had failed to do previously. She was attentive throughout her stay with them, and it was clear to me that they felt cared for when I finally got home.
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!
Kaylyn was AMAZING doing daily drop in visits for our shepherd mix puppy while I was out of town. Eve can be a little hesitant around new people but she instantly loved Kaylyn. Kaylyn was also good about approaching Eve at her speed and understanding where she was at. 10/10 recommend her & will definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pacheco is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $48 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 11,317 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pacheco. 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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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 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.
