About: Been around dogs my whole life! Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their dogs when they aren’t able to! Love doggos and just looking for some fun ones to spend time with :) I just moved here to join my husband and just want to fill the part of the days when I’m bored! I love getting out and walking, thought having a new companion with just me or with Dax too would be a blast! I will care for your pets in anyway you need! Great at following directions and will take care of your pet as if it were my own.
About: I am a responsible and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I have helped care for pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I am patient, reliable, and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.
“Stefanie is wonderful! She's very calm and kind, took time with the animals, and communicates well. She was very flexible as our schedule kept changing. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Sumaira is absolutely wonderful. She follows your directions to the letter, is on time and send pictures. My pets love her and I always come home to happy pets. I highly recommend Sumaira as her professionalism is unmatched!”
“Kamila was very knowledgeable and understood what was needed for my critters. She also sent pictures and updates and asked questions when needed. Very happy with Kamila and definitely book again next time.”
“Megan is always so wonderful with each booking!! The high-level care and communication I can always count on. My 2 young male cats have had numerous drop ins with Megan and we always come home to a clean house and calm, well cared for cats. Remain so thankful to have found Megan!!”
“Jessica was great! She was a great communicator and kept me updated with photos and videos so I could see my little fur angel while away. She even went above and beyond by offering to water my poor plants that I had just traumatized after repotting them! Jessica arrived right on time for our meet-and-greet and clearly understood how cats operate — giving Ree space to come to her first. I felt comfortable with Jessica knowing my cat (and plants!) were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Gen was amazing! Kept my up to date during every drop in visit and sent plenty of pictures. I knew I had left Mac in great hands, and I looking forward to booking with Gen again!”
About: I havs Raised border collies for almost a decade. I am experienced in all life stages of dogs. With the leashes in hand, im ready for another day of paws and purpose. $20 off your first walk https://www.rover.com/sit/flynnj11150 I am available Monday-saturday, 6 days a week, with the exception of Sunday. My schedule is open, as dog waking is my primary job. I look forward to serving your pets needs. I make the effort to make the clients dog feel safe and comfortable at their home. I respect the home owners wishes in regard to their dogs routine.
About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I grew up around animals since I was born, my family always having cats and dogs. I have experience giving medication to cats, doing custom feedings for both dogs and cats as well as walking low maintenance dogs. I am looking to do drop ins for people in need. I work in Walnut Creek from 7-4pm daily with an hour lunch break. I live in Pittsburg. I’m available for drop in visits at 6am. 11:30am and after 4pm. As well as all day on weekends. I am open to short term over night care in the persons home, as my cat doesn’t do well with other animals. I’m looking forward to speaking with you! I currently work 645am-345pm with an hour lunch. I live in Pittsburg and work in Walnut Creek so I am able to travel to different cities if needed. I am not able to board due to having a cat who is not pet friendly. I also live in an apartment not suitable for dogs.
About: I am a college and I am the proud owner of three cats and work with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors as my part time job. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pets from house sitting if needed to dog walking during the afternoon I make sure that first there basic needs are met that they are first safe in there home and happy. Anything off is immediately checked and cared for if needed.
“Jennifer was awesome! We have two crazy cattle dogs that can be quite a handful, but Jennifer was able to patiently watch them while we were away. She is the best! We will definitely contact her for more dog sitting the next time we go out of town.”
“Tatiana took care of my two cats while I was away, which included giving oral meds to one of them. She was so attentive and caring, and gave updates, photos, and videos with each visit, which brought me so much peace of mind! Wonderful experience. I definitely recommend Tatiana as she is a very compassionate and dependable pet caregiver.”
“Halona is amazing you can tell she loves dogs. She really worked with our schedule and made sure Athena was well taken care of. We will be using her every time we need someone to watch our fur baby.”
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Pleasant Hill is $29
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Hill
Taylor took really great care of my cats while I was traveling. She demonstrated genuine respect, care, and responsibility, communicated well, was flexible when needed, and followed all instructions perfectly. We look forward to hiring her again in a few weeks!
Kelly was wonderful. My cat seemed to like her right away and she made sure to update me throughout my time away and sent photos. I felt very calm knowing someone kind and responsible was caring for my cat while I was away. Would recommend her services to anyone in need.
Sabrina was a great sitter! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was being well taken care of and that I would receive regular updates. Having that peace of mind is the most important thing for me when I’m away for an extended period. When I arrived home, it was like I had never left—my cat was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Sabrina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. 🐱💕
Kat and Quinn saved the day when they agreed to a last-minute drop in request for our dog Ernie. They made the whole process so smooth and easy…and most importantly took great care of Ernie while they were here! They fed him his dinner, made sure that he had fresh water, took him out to potty and also gave him lots of snuggles and love. Because they were here taking care of him ,I was able to relax and enjoy my nieces high school graduation. 🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾 Thank you so much to Kat and Quinn! We appreciate you both! 🙏💕

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 Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
