“Yasmin was wonderful. Caring and loving of Besitos. I know Besitos felt safe and loved because our skittish Siamese cozied right up to her. I’m definitely going to ask Yasmin every time we go out of town.”

“Jasmarie did such a great job with my nervous fella. In each photo, his ears were up and his tail wagging; he doesn't do that with everyone. And this was a change in pet sitters while I was away. I trust her in my home and recommend her to anyone with a critter that they love.”

“Priscilla was attentive and communicative! She helped provide care for my kitties and my rabbit pretty last minute and I felt very comfortable after our meet and greet. She did not hesitate to reach out with any questions so she could provide the best care and sent plenty of photo updates. After her first few drop ins she clearly had a good system down! My pets were happy and healthy when I got home after a few days so I know they had a great time with her.”

About: I’ve been a cat owner all my life and although I have only been a dog owner for 2 years now, during this time I have truly fallen in love with caring for my American Bully. I work with kids so I do bring lots of patience, love, and attentiveness in my everyday life that I feel is so necessary when caring for animals as well! I work about 20-25 hours a week at my part time job so I do have lots of time for walks, play, and cuddles everyday I am a very routine oriented person so I will always make sure things feel as familiar and comfortable as possible for your fur baby.

About: Hello, fellow pet lovers! I'm Chaana. As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I've turned my passion into a personalized pet walking service. With years of experience, I understand that each furry friend has their own unique personality and needs. My goal is to provide them with individualized care and stimulating walks that cater to their energy levels and preferences. Rain or shine, you can count on me to be your pet's trustworthy companion, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they deserve. Join me in giving your beloved pets the care they need and the adventures they crave! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of space to watch your pups. I am available weekdays after 1pm and weekends after 12pm. I have a lot of space to offer for dog walks, as I live next to a large park. There are private areas if you don’t want your pup around others. I always make sure the dog is secured & hydrated once home.

About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always taken care of a dog and/or cat. Friends, family and neighbors have often relied on me to walk their dog or pet sit. I'm also a teacher and am responsible and reliable. I'm currently a graduate student, so I have time on Wednesdays and weekends for pet sitting/walking. I currently have 2 goats and 2 cats at home, so I am comfortable with pet routines. I don't have space in my home to care for your pet, but I can do drop in visits and dog walks in your home/neighborhood.

About: I am experienced caring for dogs, cats, birds and other pets! I am available for dog walking and house sits for dogs, cats, or other animals. Currently, I am only able to host dogs and small animals in my home. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages of dogs. I work from home where I spend as much time as possible with my dog and 3 parakeets. My dog Olive loves other dogs so she can help your pet adjust to our house during his or her stay. I am diligent about pet care. My yard is not fenced, so I take the dogs on several short on-leash walks around the yard and at least one longer walk during the day, usually in the evening.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five. My first dog was a Golden Retriever Border Collie Mix. We added a Miniature Schnauzer to the family when I was 10. They both lived to the age of 15. I live with my girlfriend in Point Richmond. I work from home in marketing. I never have to leave the house for work, so I'd like to dog sit. Selfishly, it'll help me get exercise and break up my routine at home. I wake up every day at 6 AM. I wake up at 6 AM and take an hour to myself before I start working. As a part of that routine, I can walk your dog to see some sunlight. In that timeframe, I also eat breakfast early, which can fit with an early feeding schedule. I work my first shift from 7-12, but I take a break every hour for 15 minutes. I usually stare at the wall and disassociate during that time, but I can give your dog TLC instead. I live five minutes from Keller Beach, which is a great place to spend time with a dog. I cook almost all of my meals, so integrating a feeding schedule is no problem. As a former athlete, I can run, jump, and play. Last but not least. I live in a VERY quiet and safe neighborhood (Point Richmond). My neighborhood is extremely pet-friendly.

Linda took amazing care of my sweet babies while I was on vacation. She made sure they had everything they need and predicted their needs too. She communicated very well so I always knew when I was getting low on supplies and could get some to her on time. She also went above and beyond to ensure my place was kept clean while I was away. I definitely recommend her!

We have had Phuong cat sit for our 2 kitties several times now, and are extremely happy. She is very dependable, communicative, caring, and so helpful in caring for our elderly cat that has some medical needs. Even our cat that is usually skittish comes out to play with Phuong. ❤️🐱

It was my boyfriend and I’s first time hiring a pet sitter for our dogs. We researched boarding facilities, but ultimately felt that being in the comfort of their own home was best. Our dog Digby is Initially wary of strangers (and cautiously barks loudly) but warmed up quickly to William. I absolutely recommend William and will use him again in the future. He’s trust worthy, friendly, and engaging with my dogs. He followed instructions and gave me so much peace of mind with the numerous updates and pictures. I really appreciate William helping out with my dogs on such short notice! William is definitely Hunter and Digby’s new friend. Thank you so much!

We’re so glad we found Patti! After using many different pet sitters over the years, I can genuinely say that Patti has been the most authentic and genuinely caring sitter we’ve found! She is someone you can truly trust and rely on. We were away for three weeks, and she took wonderful care of our lovely cat, Mellow through a combination of drop-in visits and house sitting. She was incredibly attentive, trustworthy, easy to work with, and most importantly, genuinely caring toward Mellow. We came home to a very happy, relaxed cat and a clean and organized home. Patti also thoughtfully kept an eye on the feral cats in our backyard and made sure their automatic feeder was refilled on time. Her rates are also reasonable, and she was incredibly accommodating with us. Since our stay was quite long and some dates fell under higher holiday rates, she kindly worked with us and adjusted the booking rates on her end, which we really appreciated. You can truly tell that Patti genuinely loves and cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was with her, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Rachael was a tremendous and extremely knowledgeable petsittter for our two cats who were recently rescued. She spent time playing and engaging with them, in addition to the litany of clean up and feeding responsibilities. She sent photos of them as well as detailed observations during every visit which were extremely helpful. She also went the extra mile to remove toxic plants from our home, which we were not aware. We would highly recommend Rachael for petsitting. She loves her job and puts the animals first. A definite A+

FAQs for Pet Sitting - San Pablo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Pablo is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $46 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 11,159 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Pablo. 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 San Pablo. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
