“Nancy was wonderful with my cats! She was so sweet and they seemed to warm up to her instantly. She was very helpful accommodating when the timing of my plans changed and I was confident that my cats were well cared for while I was away. I will definitely request Nancy’s services again in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Tessa! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter and dog walker with over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve worked with more than 35 recurring clients and have experience providing walks, feeding, administering medications, overnight pet sittings, and house sitting. I pride myself on being patient, responsible and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, loving and dependable experience for both you and your pets! :) I currently am in the process of getting my undergraduate degree and on the side walking and sitting in on dogs and cats. I am able to work when it fits in my schedule and being around animals brings me much joy. In a clients home, I follow their directions strictly and hope to follow through on everything they request of me. It is the upmost importance to me that I am respectful in someone else’s home.
About: I've had pets all my life, primarily dogs. I've been the loving human for a 17-year-old Chiweenie -- my chill, fur daughter, Coco -- since she was a pup. I've also cared for pets and house sat for several friends and family over the years. With so many years of pet parenting behind me, I'll approach caring for your dog as if they were my own. I live quite an active lifestyle, so I'm happy to take your dog for long walks or jogs, depending on your dog's ability and your preferences. I can also just visit and pay them as much attention as they need. I enjoy travel with purpose, so I can house sit and/or care for your pet while I'm visiting your area. I have an in-person job now, so if your request fits within my schedule and your pet can be alone from morning until the afternoon, then we can make it work! Just let me know your unique situation and requirements. I'll do my best to cater your pet care experience to fit all your needs! I can arrange time to care for your pets during the day, evening or on weekends, depending on what I have going on. I have a regular in-person job now, so my daytime hours are limited. I may be able to do early mornings; otherwise, late afternoons and evenings will work best during the week. I typically have weekends open. If your pet can be on its own for a few hours, from morning until the afternoon on weekdays, we can make it work! I like to get the full run down of your dog's needs, temperament, eating habits, favorite activities and toys, potty schedule, physical limitations and anything else you think will help me provide the best care for your pet. I also think it would be a good idea for your dog to meet me in person for an initial intro if that fits into your time frame.
“Megan is, has been, and will always be an AWESOME cat sitter! We’ve booked with her multiple times and she has never disappointed. We have two extra shy kitties and she was willing to go the extra mile to make space for them and their needs. We’ve booked for both short and long term vacations, over two and a half weeks most recently! She’s always punctual and communicative, while possessing the knowledge and experience to work through any misunderstandings very quickly with you. Can’t recommend her enough to look after your furry family! 😻”
About: I’ve had three cats almost my entire life, and have watched friends’ and neighbors’ cats so I am well versed in making sure they have the care they need! This past year, I got a handful of dog sitting gigs including two hyper golden retrievers and a senior terrier. I’m currently a full time college student home from break looking for something to do to help pay for school! I have full availability open! I am a big rule follower! Please let me know what care your animals need in your home and I’ll follow it to a T.
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Andrea really helped me a lot with her check-ins. She was punctual, helped clean up Neohs area, and kept him happy the entire time she was here. Will definitely be using her future doggy care!”
About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond Wednesday-Sunday. Your dog would need to be ok for 8hrs alone on those days or if they are small I can take them with me to work. Before and after work would be dedicated time spent with your pet and I am off on Mondays and Tuesdays. While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for around 4 years now! I’ve always loved animals, and first started getting expirence from volunteer at the Berkley Animal Shelter! Since then, I have dog and cat sat for many families! 🩷✨🐶 I am free every day of the week, and can fit pretty much anyone into my routine! Dogsitting and walking is what keeps me busy! In my home, we have a dog door that can be shut whenever. We also have a yard with fencing that keeps the animals safe
“OMG! Stephanie is the best pet sitter. I have 3 cats and they are in love with her. I also have a cat with IBD and she took very good care of her including pills administration. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. And I have a 7year old chocolate Lab named Mocha. I have experience dog seating for friends and family. I have been taking a break from working in a corporate setting and I’m home for all or most part of the week. I will look after your pet, as one of mine. I have a fenced yard, that will allow your pet to run around. I also have a very friendly and energetic chocolate Lab named Mocha. She sure will be very happy to welcome your pet.
About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats. I've found there is less stress if they stay in their own familiar surroundings with your smells; especially if they are blind or deaf or have elderly med needs.. I also give medications and understand senior dog needs. My small Chihuahua SOPHIE comes with me and gets along with everyone. I am semi-retired and will attend to all your instructions, sleep with your baby if that is what is required. I specialize in small dogs but will consider anything, especially if you are in a bind and need someone ASAP. Call me and let's discuss your needs! Thank you. I'm semi-retired and usually available. I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule. I've great references for in-home care which is all I do now. I also keep the house clean and will do laundry or other needs while I am there. Long or short stays, just let me know what you need. I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.

Beth has taken care of our Leo twice this year. She's been amazing with him and provides us with a peace of mind that I could have only dreamed of. She send photos and videos, and provides updates during her visits with him. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Beth!
Thea has been cat sitting for my family for 2-3 years on Rover, whenever we go out of town. When we come home, the cats are always perfectly taken care of, and just mildly annoyed and dramatic, as you’d expect cats to be :) Thea is always super responsive and we trust her completely in our home.
Telena has watched our shy kitty only twice, but has somehow managed to bring her out of her shell!! It normally takes our cat a long time before she warms up to people and she will usually just hide the whole time. But this time she came out and hung out with Telena which is so cool to see! Telena is super patient and kind with our cat, and very responsive while we’re out of town. I highly recommend her services !! Thanks Telena !!

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 Port Costa 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 Port Costa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
