“Dawna was AWESOME! Her concern for my boys and their welfare gave me tremendous peace of mind! They gave her a run for her money but she was patient and persistent and they eventually behaved themselves! I highly highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
About: I have experience caring for high-energy and working breeds, including dogs that need structure, exercise, and calm guidance while away from home. I focus on creating a safe, balanced environment with enrichment, routine, and personalized care for each dog. I’m comfortable with crate routines, leash handling, impulse control work, and helping dogs settle calmly into a new environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a structured and active lifestyle, which allows me to provide consistent walks, exercise, and attentive supervision throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, and I prioritize keeping dogs on a steady routine that mirrors what they’re used to at home. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or a balanced mix of both, I build their care into my schedule — not around it. Because I work from a stable home environment near Travis AFB, I’m able to provide reliable availability, consistent potty breaks, structured activity, and regular updates. Your dog’s safety, routine, and well-being are never an afterthought — they’re part of the plan. Dogs in my home are cared for in a calm, structured environment designed to help them feel safe and settled. I keep routines consistent with regular potty breaks, structured walks, mental stimulation, and purposeful play. Dogs are never left without supervision for extended periods, and I monitor energy levels to ensure they’re comfortable — whether they need exercise or quiet rest.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Allyson take care of our pets overnight, and I couldn't be more pleased with her service! She looked after our cat, Willow, and our two dogs, Elsa (a German Shepherd) and Bruno (a Yorkie), and she did a fantastic job. Allyson was attentive and caring, making sure that each of our pets received the love and attention they deserve. She fed them on schedule and took them out for bathroom breaks without any issues. I really appreciated her dedication to their well-being. She even checked in on our hermit crabs! I highly recommend Allyson for anyone needing pet care services. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares for animals. Thank you, Allyson, for taking such great care of Willow, Elsa, and Bruno!”
“Kasey was so great! Our puppy loved her. Even our grumpy old dog got up when she visited. So many adorable pictures. Will absolutely be asking Kasey if she is free for any future drop ins!”
About: Experienced with puppies, senior pets, and large dogs including anxious or high-energy dogs. I provide calm, structured care, handle basic meds, and keep routines consistent with regular updates. I’m a college student, so I plan pet care around my schedule to stay consistent. I’m available fully available Monday thru Sunday with the exception of Thursday evenings. I follow your pet’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and meds if needed. I keep their space clean, give lots of attention, and send regular updates.
“Sabrina is a very warm and kind young woman. She took very good care of our Sammy. She sent many pictures of him which was wonderful to see. When we came home from our 2 week vacation, everything was fine and Sammy looked like she kept him groomed. We would definitely call on her again.”
“I went on a work trip to DC for a week and Brandon made having to leave Drax at home so much easier and took a lot of stress out of it. He provided daily updates and did even more than I even expected him to do. I am sure Drax is going to miss the week he spent with Brandon checking on him and keeping him company”
“Ashley did an outstanding job caring for our pets. She was excellent at communicating and made sure to really take the time with our boys. We would not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”
About: Your dog MUST get along with other dogs. I have 2 huskies. Also yours MUST be on flea meds/have no active fleas, MUST be potty trained and MUST be ok with kennels. I kennel them for bed time. If this is your dog- message me! I Have walked dogs, watched overnight, fed, exercised them too. Love them like they’re my own animals. Have sat for my cousins and also walked strangers dogs as well. Always adhere to the owners requests. :) I’m quite active so I prefer to be outside. I have a fenced yard that works for small to medium dogs. I always give belly rubs, listen to what the owner wants, and take care of a dog as if it were my own. I will respect whatever rules you implement upon your animal. There are pictures mixed in of the past dogs I have watched too :) all happy! I work FT at home. Your dog would be able to roam our yard and play with my dogs all day. Daily walks too. Woo ! Fenced yard. I always make sure they can’t get out if I’m opening a door. Always use a leash. Play ball everyday and pick up droppings daily.
“Kristen was right on time and was very caring. I really appreciate her taking the time to hang out with Kitten Sick and give him some needed human interaction. I would recommend Kristen and plan to book with her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperments for my whole life. I have a calm demeanor that helps them relax. I live in a house with a large fenced yard, I have a car with dog restraints, a vet office within walking distance, experience giving medications, and I'm a veteran who's good in a crisis. I am currently a student doing most of my work from home. I only accept a bookings if I'll be home and able to provide plenty of love and attention. I have lots of space, a car with dog restraints, a medium dog crate (for crate trained dogs up to 70-ish pounds) and plenty of toys. I also carry my own pet sitting insurance that goes beyond the Rover guarantee, for the mutual protection of sitter, owner and pet. Dogs will not be left outside unsupervised.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hamsters, turtles, and fish, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to make their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am not working but I have a 20 month baby who loves walk, and he is used to big dogs and he loves animals so in the morning he will be my companion in the strollers but in the afternoon after my husband gets home I can walk your dog with no baby. I will sleep with your pet if it is used to, I have a big back hard and can walk all over the house, depends on your routine I will walk your pet as necessary
About: With two years of experience caring for dogs and cats since moving to California, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of pets of all sizes. Growing up with both small and large dogs, I’ve always had a love for animals. I recognize how important your furry friends are to your family and treat them with the same love and care as if they were my own. From puppies and kittens to senior pets, I’ve provided attentive care for animals of all ages. I am currently available on weekends and after 4:30 during the weekdays. While I work full time I still have been able to provide reliable care for those who relied on me. For pets in my own home I have a camera which I monitor whenever I am not with the pets even if I am just in a different section of the apartment. I crate my little one and whoever is in my care while I’m away to ensure they aren’t able to harm themselves. I am very attentive and very detail oriented and am easily able to determine when a pet is acting out of character to intervene appropriately and in a timely manner. For pets in your home the same rules apply to my attention to detail and care. I will go out of my way to ensure the safety of your fur family during your time away doing whatever it takes.
“Maria was so great while taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She went way above and beyond my expectations. She was a very good communicator about him, which I appreciated. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve handled pets of many kinds for the past 10 years, I currently work at a veterinary hospital with the experience and capability to know when there may be an emergency & when care is needed. I love all animals & I look forward to caring for your fur (if they have fur) babies ❤️ I work full time and usually have 3 days off at the end of my week (Thursday-Saturday) I do have availability daily after 6:30 pm. I am very vigilant and observant, I like to be aware of surroundings for your pets safety, I will also have a form signed for your pets well being in case of an emergency or any other urgent reasoning.
About: I am currently a medical student with a pretty flexible schedule and deep love for all animals. I have owned cats my entire life and a couple dogs. I care greatly for the happiness of pets. They deserve nothing but love and comfort in their caregiving. A bond between pet and owner is very special and I know how hard it is to have obligations that take you away from them for any amount of time. It’s important to me that your pet receives the comfort, affection, and mental stimulation they need while they are waiting for you to come home. I am a lover of all dogs, big dogs, little dogs, young and old. I am very excited to get to know your dog by walking them, feeding them, and stopping by to take care of your dog if you are out of town. Puppies are no problem. I may not have as much experience working with dogs but I have not met a dog that did not like me and I am very friendly and excited to spend more time around dogs. I won't let you down! I have a deep love for cats as well. They are simply such a gift. I have much more experience in caring for cats. I have school 4 days a week from 2-4 hours a day. I have plenty of free time for loving on your sweet pets. I am willing and able to come to your home where your pet is most comfortable! I also have the ability to host them at my apartment where we have nearby walking paths and a dog park!

About: As Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I began pet sitting throughout high school and from there my passion for animals grew. I am currently employed as a veterinary assistant although my ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school one day! I love being able to help families and their fur-babies. I am comfortable with administering medications and injections (such as insulin). I have cared for medically complex senior furry friends. I am currently taking a leave of absence from work and therefore have more free time available to pet sit! Pet sitting for family, friends, and pre-existing clients is currently my full time job until I return to my vet assistant role 😊 When caring for pets in their own homes, I like to keep things very neat and organized. I will typically wash bed sheets or at least remove bed sheets if spending the night. I will also bring my own groceries and supplies with me so as to not disturb the home. I do my best to spend the majority of my day in the home with the pet providing company.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,555 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rio Vista Junction. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
