“She did a great job caring for my needy pup and keeping my house in order during an extended trip. It gave me peace of mind while I was gone, which I appreciate a lot.”
“Brenna was amazing. She came last minute (we had another Rover who got sick and has to cancel) and was perfect for our very new, very sweet, very anxious about people and separating from her people pup (15 lb chihuahua terrier mix). Brenna knew just how to be around our anxious dog, and our dog warmed up to her quickly. Our dog let Brenna hold her and cuddle her and even take her outside a few times while we were gone - nothing short of a miracle with this pup. I will be going back to Brenna again as often as needed!”
“April did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and photos and made us feel very comfortable that our pets were in good hands, allowing us to really enjoy our vacation without worry.”
“Ef was terrific - personable, responsible, caring, communicative, and dog-smart - from booking, to stopping by a second time on the day before we left so he could connect with Polly and double check arrangements, to reporting while we were gone, to debriefing on our return.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kinds ever since I was ten years old. Customers have relied on me to care for their pups; walking, feeding, cuddling, etc. etc. I'm currently a student at Diablo Valley College and play on their football team. I have free time during the day and on the weekends to care for your pets. I have a client with four small pups that I watch, feed, crate, walk. I am responsible and caring and happy to care for your pet in the way you'd prefer.
About: I've taken care of dogs since a young age, starting with my Korean Jindo dog, and since then, I've always loved taking care of pets. I believe that pets deserve all the love in the world, and I am eager to provide that love and care. I currently work full-time (mostly remote) as a researcher at UCSF, and I am looking for opportunities for pet care that revolve around my work. My availability will usually be early mornings (6am-8am) to late afternoon (6pm-8pm) during the weekdays, and all day during weekends. As someone who has had experience working with a variety of different pets in the past, I know that each and every pet has unique personalities and needs. I make it my goal to accommodate for those needs by learning about them, and adjusting my care accordingly.
“Jessica was great with our senior English bulldog. She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated while we were away. I'm *that* dog owner that obsessed over my pooch and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Tracy watched our two dogs over a weekend and she did great. We got a lot of pictures and she was very responsive to questions and answered our texts in a timely manner. We will definitely use her again.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She took great care of our 3 doggos, sending all the pictures a dog mom could have wanted. She gave regular updates, which really set our minds at ease while we were away. She has a great way with pups, understanding the each doggo has their own personality and working with them as they were comfortable. Highly recommend her, your pups will be in save hands!”
“Jennifer was great! She kept in contact throughout our trip and we came home to a happy dog and our house just as we had left it. I would definitely ask Jennifer to help us again!”
About: No walk is too long with a four-legged companion! I've raised and walked dogs since they were puppies to "mature" adults. Also, dealt with large dogs with aggressive tendencies. I am currently a self-employed chef, so I have the freedom to make my own schedule. I can almost always be available with one day's notice. I love playing with dogs in their own yards and or homes. It shows you a whole other side of them. And, of course, feeding time is the way to any dog's heart! (or human) I am living in a 2-bedroom apartment so large dogs are not preferred. However, I have had large dog sleepovers with no problems. Just lots of walks! :)
“Colleen was amazing and I will definitely be booking with her again! Colleen came to our home for a full week and took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home. Our dogs each had two walks a day and were fed and given their supplements twice per day as well. Colleen sent updates and photos each day, which was so appreciated! She also did things like water plants, take in the mail, etc.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tina, who cared for our dog Berkeley for two weeks while we were on vacation. From the start, she took the time to meet with me for a meet-and-greet, which really helped ensure it was a good fit for everyone—especially considering the specific needs of our elderly dog. While we were away, Tina communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending photos and videos that gave us great peace of mind. It meant so much to see that Berkeley was comfortable, happy, and well cared for in our absence. Tina stayed in our home during that time, and we returned to everything just as we had left it—clean, organized, and clearly well respected. It was such a relief to come home to a happy dog and a well-kept house. I would absolutely trust Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
About: With over 15 years of experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I know how to keep each one comfortable, safe, and engaged. Whether it’s high-energy exercise for young pups, an easy walk for seniors, or attention to specific needs, I adjust my approach to fit every dog’s personality. I’m skilled at reading canine behavior and providing solid, reliable care that keeps dogs calm and content. You can count on me to make sure your dog is in good hands, so you’ll come home to a happy, relaxed pet every time. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate everything from quick check-ins to extended care. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or a longer stay, I keep a consistent routine that helps dogs feel comfortable and well-cared-for, no matter the day. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for them to relax and move around. In a client’s home, I make sure to stick to their usual routines and follow any specific instructions to keep pets comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of each pet’s unique needs, from managing energy levels to ensuring they’re never left unattended, and I stay aware of their behavior to make sure they’re happy and at ease in any environment.
“Mia was wonderful with Freddie! As new puppy parents, we really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel leaving him in her care. She watched him for two back-to-back days, communicated clearly throughout, and was respectful of our home and schedule. We’d happily book her again — thank you, Mia!”
About: I'm on the same wavelength with animals: saved, took care of them, loved - from puppies to parrots. Each ponytail left a trace in my heart. Pet care is part of my everyday life🐶 I feed, walk, and play with the dogs daily, making sure they feel very happy and comfortable🐾 I’m happy to take your dogs on as many walks or hikes as they’d like, and I always make sure they get the attention, care, and love they deserve. Whether it’s an active adventure or a calm, relaxed walk, I adjust to each dog’s needs and personality.

Teagan is an awesome sitter. I’m out of the country and she took care of my challenging but sweet pittie with grace and made me feel so comfortable with leaving her. She also dropped her off to her other sitter with no problems. Highly recommend and will be using her again.
Hosana took excellent care of my two high-energy dogs (one of which is extra, extra high-energy). Really appreciated her updates and excellent, proactive communication. She stayed at our house and took great care. We very much appreciate her and look forward to using her services again!
Leaving our sweet pup, Winnie, is always hard, but finding someone you truly trust to care for them (and your home!) is such a gift. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Serafina! She took the time to meet Winnie ahead of our trip and genuinely cared about getting to know her routine and what would make her (and us!) feel most comfortable. Throughout the weekend, she sent us the most thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us an immense peace of mind knowing Winnie was in such wonderful hands. We feel so lucky to have found Serafina and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!!
Brenna was great! The pups seemed right at home with her. She was very responsive and sent pictures every day along with updates on how their day went. I felt very comfortable having her caring for the them and will definitely contact her for future petsitting needs.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pleasant Hill walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pleasant Hill maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pleasant Hill choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
