“Amy is extremely kind and has great energy! My pups are mostly used to being around family and she was so patient with them. Will definitely use Amy again and it’s very evident how much she cares about all the pets she is caring for! I felt completely at ease with Amy in the care of my pets and SO grateful she was able to help me on short notice! Thanks Amy!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I currently have a small dog of my own and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve also participated in obedience training with my dogs, so I’m comfortable with basic commands, routines, and reinforcing good behavior. I’m responsible, attentive, energetic, and great at communicating with pet parents. I genuinely love animals and will treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting out of the house for some extra activity. I’d love to use that flexibility to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and earn a little extra income along the way. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with walks and drop-in visits while still being reliable and consistent. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make their comfort, safety, and routine a priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to their behavior and personality and will give them plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and activity they need while keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated and communicate throughout the visit so you know how your pet is doing
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m usually home during the hours when many owners are away at work or busy, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship . Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for animals. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide fresh water, daily playtime, and outdoor breaks as needed. I keep their schedule consistent with what they’re used to—whether it’s feeding, walks, or quiet rest—so they feel secure and happy. Most importantly, I give them plenty of love and attention, making sure they feel like part of the family during their stay.”
“Chalise took care of my little pair of Socks and I’m truly so grateful! She took care in updating me with tons of details and adorable pictures! It was like I was there with them! I highly recommend Chalise and cannot wait to see more adventures she and Socks share!”
“Megan is great! My cats and I like her a lot. She's great - plays with the cats and gives them their wet food. I always check to see is Megan is free before booking with anyone else.”
“Mitchell is so awesome with Ruth! He takes time to play with her, makes sure she is taken care of, and will ask questions if he sees something off. She loves her drop in time!”
About: I have a 11 years old poodle 🐩 at home and have been caring for dogs for many years. I’m experienced with small dogs, senior dogs, and pups that need extra patience and attention. I can brush teeth, prepare healthy homemade meals, and follow any special routines your dog needs. Our home is spacious, clean, and fully stocked with everything a dog may need. I’m gentle, responsible, and always treat every pup like family！ I am a homemaker so I am home every day and available to care for dogs full-time. Your pup will always have someone watching, playing with, and caring for them throughout the day🐾 Your pup will enjoy a safe and loving environment in our home. We have a fenced yard for playtime and exercise, and my friendly 11 years old dog will be your pup’s best friend . I provide a warm, family-like atmosphere where every pup feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout the day:)
“Alison has been wonderful with our cat and he is always pleased to have her companionship. She is very dependable and we have had her come for both drop in and house sitting several times.”
“Ping was great with RB. She’s very kind and gentle. Her pup Cherry is also very sweet and well behaved. I think it’s a bonus for RB to have canine company. Ping sent photos, was able to accommodate last minute request and very responsive. Thanks Ping and Cherry!”
About: I’ve been around dogs all of my life. As such, I feel comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and ages. During high school, I began pet- and housesitting professionally for Pleasanton Pets. Customers were always satisfied with my services, listing my respectfulness and punctuality as my best traits. Since then, I’ve also helped raise a puppy under certain regulations prior to its entry to a Guide Dog program in Norway. I have recently completed my MSc in Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin. I am eager to take on a part time role as a Petsitter while I apply to more relevant full time jobs. This allows me to be available for petsits any day of the week. I do not currently offer petsits in my own home. However, as mentioned in a previous section, I have had many dogs (and cats) through the years, and am comfortable/familiar with most procedures people implement for their pets in their own homes.
About: I took care of my family and friends’ dogs while they were away . I deeply believe pets are our truest friends and family members too.So we treat them with great love . I am currently not working. So I have plenty of time to connect and play with your pets. We will take walks as much as they needed. I don’t have a fenced yard. But I have a crater. It means I can care for your dog in your house as you instructed or I can use crater in my house.
“Hailey was very communicative and friendly. She was very comfortable with our cats, which made us confident in leaving them in her care. She's professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: I have extensive experience caring for and training dogs of various breeds and ages. I've had three dogs, each a different breed, starting from when they were just 4 weeks old. I successfully trained them. My hands-on experience with different breeds and stages of development has equipped me with a deep understanding of canine behavior, making me a patient and effective pet caretaker. Additionally, my lifelong love for dogs and cats drives my dedication to providing the best possible care for your pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to pet care. I only have online classes at ASU Online, which means I'm available throughout the day to take care of your pets. This flexibility ensures that I can provide consistent, attentive care, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or other needs your pets may have. My commitment to your pets' well-being fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring they receive the best care possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a pet-friendly environment by removing hazards and ensuring secure spaces. I follow strict hygiene practices and maintain consistency with your pet's routine. In your home, I respect your space and follow specific instructions to ensure your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness
About: I love love love dogs! I rescued 4 dogs ranging from snappy chihuahuas to reactive pitbulls. I’ve been dog walking and sitting for half my life (15 years). I love kitty cats too, and I have experience with caring for turtles and fish! My first dog sitting client was in 2010 and she was my client for 4 years. In 2018 I started a professional dog walking and pet sitting business called Puppy Paws Pet Services in Jacksonville, Florida. I serviced over 100 dogs every year and had many daily and weekly clients. The biggest pack I’ve taken care of included 6 dogs, 4 turtles, and 10 fish. Big packs are my specialty, as I myself have a big pack. I have experience administering medicine, putting on diapers, specific diet plans, and handling rescues with different behavioral tendencies. I’ve seen just about everything and am prepared for most situations. I’ve never lost a dog, a dog has never been injured in my care, and I promise to send you cute photos of your pup! I currently work from home part time and have a very flexible schedule. I also have reliable transportation and only my two dogs to care for at home. My availability is open and flexible. I’m incredibly cautious when handling pets, I never get too comfortable. I always double, sometimes triple check locked doors, I review instructions I have before I enter and leave a clients house, I am mindful of how I would want someone in my home to act, and I always try to go above and beyond.
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I currently work only 2–3 hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your little one. I’m flexible on weekends as well, which means I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always get my full attention and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasanton
Amy was absolutely fantastic! Domino was well taken care of over the long holiday weekend thanks to Amy. I had complete peace of mind thanks to Amy’s communication, thoughtful and thorough notes, and pictures of my pup throughout the entire time. I will absolutely be booking with Amy again, cannot recommend her enough!
I can’t recommend Mitchell highly enough. From the first meet and greet, it was clear he genuinely loves animals, and my cat warmed up to him immediately, which almost never happens. He sent daily photos and updates that put my mind completely at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless litter area. Mitchell is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy in my home. Five stars, and he'll be my first call every time I travel.
Performed great drop in visits for our two spoiled cats while we had a local trip. Also had last minute request to water some plants in the summer heat. House, cats, and plants were well taken care of during her visit and will use Alysson again in the future.
Anne was great! She took great care of our cat Ciro by playing with him and making sure he had enough food and water, as well as a clean litter box. We really appreciated her communication and her sharing plenty of pictures of Ciro. Anne also took detailed notes during the meet and greet to make sure she had all the details to best care for our cat. Thank you Anne!
Xiaoyu took good care of our dog Archi! She communicated well with us and did a good job of feeding Archi and taking him out for walk. Xiaoyu is personable and during the initial meet and greet, Archi immediately got along with her. :D We look forward to working with her again.
Having Gwen take care of our dog this past week has been a great experience! This was a last minute request and also our first time using Gwen’s services. She was very easy to communicate with, reliable, and responsible. I’d recommend her and I’d happily use her services again! Thanks for your help, Gwen!

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 September 2026, there are 13,714 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pleasanton. 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 Pleasanton 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 Pleasanton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
