“I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.”

“Dakota did several drop in visits for my two dogs and they love her so much! She’s the absolute best. I will definitely book her again. It was nice to go away and not feel stressed about leaving my dogs at a kennel.”

About: I have many years of pet sitting experience. I've worked for a few pet sitting services around Baltimore. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Denver walking the dogs. I have always had pets of my own. I also have years of house sitting and child care experience. I am a very laid back person and your pet will feel at ease with me. I treat my pets as if they are little people. I talk to them and cuddle with them. I will treat your furry friends as if they were my own. I am mature, responsible and professional. I am available for daily visits or overnight stays. I can also board them at my place. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I work full time M-F in the office but have some flexibility to work from home. I will be sure to give your pet the attention required to make them happy. Upon taking on a new client, I make sure I am aware of any situations that may become an issue. I currently have a client whose dogs need to be separated during the day while they are alone. While I am at the house, I watch out for any signs between these dogs that there may be any problems with their behavior towards each other.

“Having never used a pet sitter for our 3 cats we didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with Stephanie, our minds were set at ease. She did wonderfully with our 3, one of whom needs daily medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. If we need a pet sitter again she would definitely be our first choice!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have two dogs. I can help with potty training and reinforcement of basic skills like sit, stay, and down. I have experience with dogs of all sizes ranging from 10 to 100 pounds. I work fully remote so I am able to drop in throughout the day and I’m off on weekends. I also have two dogs that are friendly and love getting to meet new animals. I make sure to take long walks with plenty of time to sniff around and explore. Outdoor enrichment is just as important as playing inside with a toy! I’m also happy to work on and training you’ve been doing at home, just let me know what commands you use and I will stick to those.

He was respectful of my home, professional, and a pleasure to work with. My senior kitty absolutely loved him, and he took wonderful care of her as well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.”

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats. I have been trusted to care for my own animals as well as looking after neighbors, family, and friends' pets while they are away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and aggression. I also have experience with fish, amphibians, and reptiles if needed. I am a daycare teacher and artist. I have house sitting availability on weekends and weekdays depending on the commute to my daycare job. Walks and drop-in visits are limited to evenings and weekends. I am happy to walk, play, groom, and cuddle with your pet! Whatever they may need, I am willing to provide. I will spoil your pet as if they were my own. I work full time at a daycare but am available on weekends. I would be able to house sit during the week depending on the commute to my full time job and your pet's needs. I can keep a close eye on your pet's in both your home and yard. I will leave your home looking just the way I found it, cleaning up any messes the animals or I might make!

About: As a nurse, caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of attention, patience, and responsibility to every pet in my care. I work only 2–4 days a week, and there is always an attentive family member at home, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including dogs and other animals, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Those experiences taught me how to understand different pet personalities, needs, and routines from an early age. My family has a 7-year-old Cavapoo named Bentley, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking paths and open green spaces nearby, giving dogs lots of opportunities for exercise, exploration, and fresh air. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. My healthcare background has taught me to be observant, dependable, and detail-oriented, which is especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, following special routines, administering medications, or recognizing changes in behavior. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their dogs feel happy, safe, and loved during their stay. 🐾❤️ Caring for fur babies naturally fits into my daily routine. As a nurse, I am flexible with plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. On the days I am home, dogs receive regular walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks, cleaning cages, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for long periods and continue to receive supervision, care, and interaction. My dog, Bentley is family, so daily walks, feeding schedules, exercise, and cuddle time are already built into my routine. I live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with nearby green spaces, making it easy to provide multiple walks and opportunities for exercise each day. I enjoy maintaining a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and at home while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I tailor my approach to each dog's temperament whether they are energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or prefer a calm and relaxed environment.

About: When you choose me to care for your pet, you’re choosing a passionate and experienced pet lover who prioritizes not only your pet’s comfort and happiness, but also your peace of mind. I understand how important your furry family member is to you, and I strive to provide them with the same level of care, attention, and love they receive from you. While you’re away, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe, caring hands, with updates provided to ensure you remain connected to their well-being. I have experience caring for younger animals with energetic needs who require frequent playtime. I’ve also dedicated time to caring for senior pets, providing them with gentle exercise, extra comfort, and making any necessary dietary adjustments to support their health and comfort. Currently, I care for a 17-year-old cat who requires more delicate care. Additionally, my background includes working with anxious pets, where I’ve applied my professional clinical experience to soothe, calm, and build their confidence, helping them feel more secure in unfamiliar environments. I work from home and run my own business, so my availability can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’m flexible with scheduling and can provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs midday walks or frequent drop-in visits, I’m happy to help make things easier for you. I will offer whatever service and care is most similar to your pets current environment. If you would like them crated, I am able to accommodate. However, if you are more comfortable with your pet having more freedom within your home or my home, I am happy to provide that environment as well!

About: Hello my names Addison and I’m 25 years old. For the last seven years I’ve been a senior caregiver until my client recently passed away. I’m looking to start pet sitting to fill my spare time. I’ve had dogs my whole life (small and large) and also have experience with cats. I even have experience working with reptiles and salt water aquariums. I currently reside in Northern Maryland on a corn farm with my two dogs. My husband works from home and can watch our dogs, so I can attend fully and give your animals full attention/if needed overnight. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I’m currently only pet sitting so your pet will have my full attention! Im also available for overnight stays if needed. I’m fully available on weekends as well. Pets under my watch will always get enough potty breaks and lots of love and attention. I know every pet is different and i try to mimic as close as I can to your pets routine you already have in place so you can be worry free on your vacation or trip!

“Constance was wonderful! We booked her for drop-in visits to administer medication for our cat, who is on a very strict regimen. She was open to learning our process and was very attentive to our cat’s needs. She went above and beyond the administration, topping off food and water bowls, cleaning him up a bit and giving him snuggles. Getting the updates and pictures from her while we were away really gave me a lot of comfort, as I knew he was in good hands. She even left a sweet note and picture of our boy for us when we returned from a very long flight, which I appreciated so much. It was just such a nice and personal touch. Would definitely book her again in the future! Thank you, Constance!”

About: I love taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. My Rottweiler recently passed away and I am looking to continue caring for animals outside of my own. A number of people have trusted me with walking their dogs, housing their dogs and kitties, and even bathing them. I’m happy to help you next! I am a work from home student, so I will have all of the time in the world to give your pet-child all of the attention in the world! Although my yard is not fenced, I live in a safe neighborhood and will never take my eyes off of your pet. I will always keep their leash with me, seat belt secured, and doors locked.

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life as an owner. Ive had small dogs, terriers, and their strong will and playfulness to large dogs, ie German Shepard, and their willfulness and loyalty. I love them all and understand how to build trust with a pet. Ive also become a cat owner to tow boys bringing our home pack to 2 dogs and 2 cats. Currently I have a flexible schedule for drop ins during the day or evening. I am glad to feed them, play, and take out for breaks. Available any day except Sundays. Our home has invisible fence and our dogs are trained to remain in the years. We have also had fenced yards in the past. I can and do walk smaller dogs.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats. My experience includes providing basic care, feeding, spending quality time with pets, keeping their environment clean, and paying attention to their individual needs. I genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time and in school so I am available on the weekdays mainly in the morning or early afternoon. If overnight care is needed, then I can stay the night on Friday nights starting at 10pm and can stay until 8am. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special needs or preferences. I keep pets supervised, make sure they have access to fresh water, and maintain a clean and secure environment. I also understand how important it is to earn an owner’s trust, so I communicate regularly with updates and photos and treat every pet with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own.

Patrick and Bahiya are absolutely amazing! We’ve used them several times for dog drop-ins and for watching our two dogs while we’re out of town, and they’ve become our first choice every single time we travel. They are dependable, caring, and treat our dogs like their own. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re taking care of our family while we’re away. We’ve always had a great experience with them, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy and well cared for. At this point, whenever we’re going out of town, Patrick and Bahiya are the first people we reach out to. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Kaylie was a wonderful dog sitter. One of our dogs can be cautious with new people, and Kaylie was patient, caring, and attentive, which helped our dog feel comfortable. She communicated very well throughout our time away and sent many pictures that were reassuring and appreciated. We’re grateful for the thoughtful care she provided and would happily book with her again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pleasant Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
