About: For over 13 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs! I have 3 dogs at home myself, a Havanese poodle and two German shepherds! My dogs are on the older side and aren’t able to go on walks as much so I wanted to join Rover. When I’m away from home and miss my dogs, also volunteer at the animal shelter to do doggie day out and bring shelter dogs for walks and a pup cup. I pay careful attention to body language for dogs to make them feel comfortable. I just graduated from UCI so I’ve been readjusting back at home. When I get the chance, I love going out and trying the next big thing! When I’m home, I love playing with my dogs and snuggling up with them because they’re so cute I know safety and trust is the utmost importance so I will be sure to communicate with you if issues were to arise. I make sure that the area is familiar, safe and enclosed before letting a dog off-leash and walks are always on-leash. I have trained multiple dogs to learn basic commands and signals with treats and positive reinforcements.
“Our first Rover experience went stellar! Ivana is responsive, kind and so loving! Our pups were completely comfortable with her! Highly recommend Ivana for your pet sitting needs…looking forward to using her again in the future…5 stars aren’t enough..10000/10 experience 💕💕”
“Our regular sitter of two years moved just far enough away that coming twice a day for a week wasn't possible, so it was a little nerve-racking to choose a new sitter when we were going to be on the other side of the country. Picking Gagandeep was a good decision. He put us at ease immediately when leaving them, which was especially important when I developed an unexpected and serious medical condition. If I had spent time worrying about them cross-country, I don’t think it would have turned out as well as it did. I’ll definitely book with him again.”
“Katie did an amazing job with Raven! Our dog is reactive and needed to meet new people slowly. Katie was very mindful of her and followed all of our directions! She also gave our dog so much love during her visit - rest assured that your pet will be taken care of !”
About: Hi! I’m Stef, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys being around dogs. I love giving them attention, affection, and a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available during the day on weekdays while my child is at school, and I have plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also available on weekends depending on my schedule. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated with love and patience. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including helping care for two of my friend’s dogs over the years. I also currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, and following specific care instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care after work in the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while making sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean environment and closely supervise pets while they’re in my care. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along. I’m also happy to use crates when requested and will always respect any boundaries or safety instructions you have for your pet.
“Demi did a wonderful job of watching my two cats while I was away for the weekend. When I got home, I could tell they had been well cared for, and I really appreciated the pictures she uploaded. Thank you Demi!”
About: I’ve spent three years caring for dogs through walking and sitting, providing safe, loving, reliable support tailored to each pup’s personality, routine, and comfort needs. With lots of free time in my daily routine, I’m able to focus fully on each dog I care for, providing steady attention, enrichment, and a peaceful, supervised environment. I provide a safe, reliable home where dogs can relax and feel supported. With frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and attentive supervision, your pup stays comfortable, happy, and well‑monitored.
About: Hi, I’m Cameron. I’m a lifelong dog owner with a very flexible schedule this summer, and I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from large breeds like Rottweilers and Akitas to small ones like Chihuahuas and Mini Aussies. My own dog is a 12-year-old rescue Golden Retriever mix that I’ve had for a decade. Through caring for her, I've gotten very comfortable with senior dog care, administering oral medication, and adjusting to slower-paced routines. I know every dog is different. Some need a good long walk to burn off energy, while others just want a quiet companion and a slow walk around the block. I’m patient and calm, which tends to work really well with dogs that are a bit timid or slow to warm up to new people, especially men. As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is very open and flexible. I have full availability throughout the day, evenings, and weekends between 11am and 10pm, allowing me to provide consistent care and companionship when your dog needs it most. I live in Union City and have my own reliable transportation, so I can easily travel to your home anywhere in the area. Because I am not tied to a typical 9-to-5 office routine, I can offer your pet more than just a quick check-in—I am available for extended walks, midday play sessions, or simply staying present to keep a senior dog or anxious pup company (~30 minutes, if needed). Whether you need a regular weekday routine or last-minute weekend help, I can easily integrate your pet’s needs into my day. Safety and reliability are my top priorities. As a longtime rescue owner and university professional, I treat every pet with the same vigilance and care I give my own. In Your Home & On Walks: I am a respectful guest and a focused handler. I provide my own reliable transportation and come prepared with spare leashes and waste bags. During walks, I am hyper-aware of surroundings to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. In My Home: My environment is fully pet-proofed and secure, featuring a fenced-in yard with no environmental risks. Because of my flexible summer schedule, your dog will enjoy constant supervision and a calm, climate-controlled space to relax. Trust & Communication: I strictly follow all care instructions—from meal timings to medication—and provide regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.
About: Ive worked in the veterinary field for almost 12 years- most of my experience has been in specialty and emergency medicine and have been lucky to help all sizes and ages of fur babies and their families. I have seen the distress of both the pet and their pet parent and always strive to be a pillar of confidence and ensure your pet is in good hands and will be taken care of. My goal is to build trust with your pet and also with your family. I understand how hard it can be to travel and have someone care for them and this is why i treat all animals like my own. I always put safety at the forefront when i'm pet sitting and always happy for check in's or anything that puts you at ease to know your loved one is taken care of while you are away. I am currently freelancing and enjoying getting my dose of animal care by assisting my house mates older dog. I lost my best fur friend over a year ago and currently helping other pets feel cared and loved until im ready for a new friend. Doors and locks are always checked and no pet is left unattended. I typically adjust my schedule to the needs of your pet while in my care.
“We were very nervous leaving our kitty with a sitter for the first time, and Kimberly was so kind to meet us before we left to meet and get acquainted with Neko. She was so reassuring and very clearly loves animals and cares for them. I will definitely be using her services any time we leave town.”
About: I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I have experience caring for neighbors’ dogs and currently work part-time with a pet care company, where I help with walking and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I’d give my own! ❤️ I work remotely part-time for a pet care company and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m excited to offer my own services as well and spend even more time caring for pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their parent’s instructions closely. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled safely, and I’m happy to do a meet and greet beforehand. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for.
About: I have been a lover of animals my entire life (36 years!). I have been a cat mom most of my life (over 25 years) and have had professional cat sitting, pet and house sitting experience over the last 6 years. I truly enjoy meeting and making friends with your puppies, kitties, and a variety of 1-4 legged loved ones! Pet sitting and care for my community is the next best thing since I can’t single handedly own and care for an ENDLESS amount like I’d imagine 😅 I prioritize safety and care for every pet as if they were my own and love sending updates about your pet each visit. Most (even the shyest) are quick to warm up to me and trust me with ease, often impressing their owners. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Thank you for trusting me with your precious loved ones! I currently work for the school district part-time and have early mornings, later afternoon and evenings available. I am also available for overnights. I have made visits before work, after work, evenings and throughought the day on weekends. I prioritize safety as if each pet was my own and use my best judgment to make decisions always keeping pet safety and comfort in mind.

About: Growing up with pets, I have gained extensive experience in caring for dogs of different breeds. From training puppies to providing specialized care for a dog with cancer, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs. Over the past 14 years, I have proudly raised two Labradors, Ellie and Rolo (👼), and I have been privileged to share countless cherished moments with them. Currently, my beloved companion, Nanny Ellie, continues to be faithfully on duty with me :) I am working remotely. As the WFH dog mom, my schedules is adaptable and I can dedicate ample time to caring for our beloved furry friends. I walk my dog Ellie at least two times per day (AM and PM) in the neighborhood or let her have a free run time in the fenced grass field. I always have plain freshly boiled chicken, carrots, and goat milk handy for my dog as meal toppings. Happy to provide them to our guests as complimentary. I have a fenced backyard with a pet door and one friendly Ellie to keep your pup accompanied. Dogs are allowed to be on furniture and run freely in the house. I can easily crate your dog (or my dog) if necessary. I’m great at following instructions and making sure your pup is comfortable and cared for.
About: I have always grown up around animals my entire life. We have trained our dogs from puppies and up and litter trained our cats, etc. I love all dogs and cats, i currently have my first cat that is mine and not as a family pet and I love him so much! I love to spoil him with lots of attention. However, I love dogs just as much and love to burn energy with them and spoil them with attention as well! For dogs I am a student athelete in college so I love to keep them active and entertained! I'm currently a student athlete at Cal State East Bay, I typically have practice in the morning around 9-12, and after that I will be home to give attention and give potty breaks until I go to class for about an hour and then come back and spend the rest of the day with your animal! I can take them for walks or have play time for both cats and dogs I can comply with any request to keep your fur baby safe! I can let them be unleashed in a fenced area and just keep an eye on them, Or I can keep them on the leash and walk around with them as they explore! I can take them for runs and walks play fetch with them, and pet them until they fall asleep! I can easily adapt to any special routine!
About: I’m a dog mom to a Goldendoodle I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old, so I have hands-on experience with puppy routines, feeding, walks, crate training, enrichment, and basic obedience. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention are. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates during each visit so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school and have a structured weekly schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m very used to structuring my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining a consistent routine. I’m typically available Tuesday afternoons and evenings, with additional evening and weekend availability depending on the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my current availability. For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and other care needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and feel confident that your routines and preferences will be respected. I’m very open to discussing expectations beforehand and adjusting my care to each pet and pet parent’s preferences so everyone feels comfortable. I’m also mindful about securely closing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and keeping pets supervised. I’ll send photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Russell City
Katherine was a delight to work with. She graciously agreed to walk my elderly dog booking her services last minute and she followed my instructions to the T. She is prompt with communication, professional and very reliable. I will definitely book more visits with her! Thank you so much!
Our first Rover experience went stellar! Ivana is responsive, kind and so loving! Our pups were completely comfortable with her! Highly recommend Ivana for your pet sitting needs…looking forward to using her again in the future…5 stars aren’t enough..10000/10 experience 💕💕
This was my first time using Rover and booking a pet care service, and Jocelyn made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was very responsive, asked thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, and always kept me updated during her visits. My dog, Skye, can be reactive and takes time to warm up to new people, but Jocelyn was incredibly patient and understanding. She never pushed Skye beyond her comfort level and let her build trust at her own pace. By the third day, I could already see Skye becoming more comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. It was clear that Jocelyn genuinely cared about Skye’s well-being and treated her with kindness, patience, and respect. I am so grateful for the care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Jocelyn, for taking such great care of my girl!
This was my first time with Shiji and he was absolutely amazing, following each and every instruction and checking in with me when my cats refused to eat, went above and beyond to take care of other things kike checking litter, changing water and even playing! I trust them with my cats and my cars trust them as well
Kayla has taken such great care of our two dogs! She’s responsive, on time, and our dogs love her! One of my dog tends to be very cautious and skittish around new people but he warmed up to Kayla super quickly! Thank you so much for taking great care of our dogs! We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Russell City is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $38 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,801 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Russell City. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Russell City. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
