Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. He also provided timely updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals!

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!

Amy was an absolute gem and treated our cat like he was royalty, even though he didn’t need the ego boost :). She was always extremely prompt and thorough with her drop-in visits. She was also very detailed with her report updates and provided lots and lots of photos! Thank you so much Amy for being the best sitter!

Darcy was one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! She followed all of our instructions and was very communicative. We have a shy kitty and reactive dog, yet she made sure to meet each of their individual needs. Darcy went above and beyond for our babies and we can’t thank her enough. We will definitely be booking again!

About: Hi 🐶 & 🐱 parents, My name is Noelle and always love animals. I have been around pets my entire life and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs and a cat, and we still do to this day. I helped feed, walk, play with, and care for our pets from such a young age. My childhood cat is even still with us! I have also cared for my neighbor's pets, providing attention, companionship, and lots of love while their owners were away. One thing, I enjoy taking photos and videos of the pets I care for and sending updates to their owners, so they can feel connected and reassured while they're apart from their furry family members. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. I am currently available and have a flexible schedule. Caring for pets has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I make time in my daily routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Throughout the week, I also make extra time for longer walks, enrichment activities, and providing updates to pet parents. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to making pet care a regular part of my schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I like to take care of all responsibilities first, such as feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any other requested tasks. After that, I enjoy spending quality time with the pets through play, companionship, and positive interaction. I do my best to keep each pet's routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and less stressed while their family is away. I carefully follow written instructions and pay close attention to each pet's individual needs. I prefer a calm and patient approach, allowing pets to adjust at their own pace while building trust and helping them feel at ease. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

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: Busy dog parents have meetings or work schedule conflicts? I GOT you! My name is Kat and I am a full time WFH employee with 2 kids and I understand how busy everyone’s life can be. But I am an addicted DOG lover ❤️ so I would love to spend time to connect your dogs! I have been owning small animals since 2020 but would love to become dog parent again one day (My furry friends Sugar and Pepper crossed rainbow bridge in 2015, they were Lab and Dachshund). My weekday mornings are flexible as I work from home. I can walk your dogs at your neighborhood. I can provide early evening walks if you have urgent needs. Just ring me. Hey, if you have been reading my profile this far, I think I am almost getting the approval from you/your dog to be the walker. I would love to bond with your dogs even it is only a short walk! Ring me as I’m ready to receive some paw loves🐾

About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and cats since the mid 1970's. I have cared for, fed, walked, played with not only my own, but for friends and neighbors as well. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. Mid-mornings to early afternoons some days, all day on other days. I am currently not available to care for your pets in my home due to having 3 dogs and 2 cats already. Anything can change in the future though.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy caring for them. When I was younger, I attended an SPCA summer camp where I learned about animal care and responsibility, which helped grow my passion for pets. I grew up around dogs and had my family dog for 16 years, helping with his daily care and giving him lots of love and attention. He was my best friend and I loved him more then anything. I have also worked as a nanny and often cared for the families' dogs when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with dogs. I am patient, dependable, and treat every pet like my own. I truly love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a very flexible schedule and do school online so I am open all the time to help you with your any of your animal needs! I have a house where I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I have a spacious house and a huge backyard where dogs can play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I make sure they have constant supervision, fresh water, regular feeding schedules, and lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I prioritize their comfort by providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space.

About: I started dogsitting around my neighborhood two years ago and my business has grown very organically since then, with my name spreading from client to client. I have only just decided to get rover to further expand my client base. I now have 13 people who call on me for trusted, in house pet care. As a full time college student, this is the perfect job for me. I have a very pet-sitting friendly schedule. With classes monday-friday 9-1, I have the whole rest of the day to stay in your home and hang out with your pets. I trained my family dog to be a very well behaved, rule following pet, so I know how to handle family pets who are also trained to have certain behaviors. I’m also very active so I will gladly take your dog for a long walk.

About: Hello Rover Pleasanton! I am ready to help care for your furry family members. Happy to walk once or multiple times a day. And of course play time may be included. Special requests by you are not a problem and yes, I love giving treats and lots of hugs. About this sitter: Pleasure to meet you! My name is Lauren and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. I am a dog lover and past owner (recently passed away). As a responsible dog owner I know what it's like to feel anxious about my dog's safety and well being when I'm not at home. Between myself and Rover.com, I think you will find the perfect dog walker! I feel it is essential for dogs to have at minimum 3 walks per day. As a responsible driver, I would also be willing to take your dog to its favorite dog park or open space. I will of course provide you with photos, and text updates, and any other special requests you may have. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! Why I love dog waking: Walks gives us a chance to get outdoors for some fun in sun while we run/walk off some energy, get some exercise, and strengthen social skills. Meet my pets: I have no pets living in my house. My experience administering medication: I am comfortable administering oral and injected medications. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your furry floofs! I am pleased to walk and play once, or multiple times a day. We can walk familiar routs, go to the dog park, or hike some trails. Treats will always given. I will always send photos upon pick up, walk/play time and alert you upon drop off. I also intend to keep them on a lead while on walks.

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.

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!

Amy was PHENOMENAL! She was incredibly accommodating, especially with giving my cat medicine, and flexible. She took the initiative with making sure my cat was cool and hydrated. My needs changed mid booking, and she came everyday, instead of every other day. Her reports were very detailed and was in constant communication with me. I would absolutely choose her again, if the opportunity arises. She was better than I could have ever hoped for!

5/5 Stars! Mitchell is hands down the best cat sitter ever! Mitchell took such amazing care of my cats while I was away. He is incredibly responsible, attentive, and clearly a true cat lover. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My cats usually take time to warm up to strangers, but they absolutely loved him. I cannot recommend Mitchell highly enough—he is the only one I’ll trust with my fur babies from now on!

Needed a dog sitter last minute for my mini & giant schnauzers and Julie was available. She followed all instructions, even dropped by a little earlier, and brought an Amazon package in that arrived while I was out of town as well. Meet/greet was a bit stressful for my mini-schnauzer at first with his anxiety, but the drop in visits went well. She sent photo updates of the dogs, and communicated any issues or questions while she was caring for my dogs. Would rebook again if needed in the future! Thank you Julie!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Pleasanton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pleasanton on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 July 2026, there are 13,616 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
  • 95% 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.
