“Cienna was great with our two dogs, one of which takes a while to warm up to strangers. She communicated daily and left the house and yard in perfect order. We’ll definitely use her again and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Lainie was amazing! She provided updates and handled our high energy pup very well. She provided lots of cuddles and exercise. She also was helpful in a pinch when our arrival time back home changed and we need one last check-in. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Janet was such a gift to us and our pup. She was extremely tentative to her needs. She paid close attention and took thoughtful, mindful care of our girl. We could not recommend her any more highly. We will certainly be reaching out to Janet in the future!”
About: I am comfortable working with multiple dogs at once. I have experience with up to 5 dogs at one time. I am used to puppies, adults and elder dogs. I am a recent graduate currently looking for fulltime employment so my availability is open and I am flexible when it comes to fitting pet care into my routine. I am detail oriented, respectful and can follow instructions on how you would like me to care for your pet. I have experience working with dogs and cats and am comfortable in multi-pet homes.
“Gizelle was amazing help and very communicative throughout her entire care of my babies. My children can be very picky and special but she took the time to get to know them and she was very attentive to their needs. From a last minute booking she definitely took on my request with no hesitation and she was very kind and respectful. I would love to have her care for my babies again. Thank you!”
“Savanna is a rock star ! She came through last minute and I am so grateful ! She also was very patient with Gatsby ans My other fur child Colby ! Thank you so much I will book again and with Savannah!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. My family, neighbors and friends have always relied on me to make sure their furry friends are cared for and safe. I have been around dogs and cats all my life and can handle pretty much anything that comes my way! I am a student athlete at NMSU. I practice in the morning but check in every 1-2 hours to make sure all pets are safe and well. I am completely back at my apartment no matter than 4pm and make sure to take pets on a walk or find any active for at least 60 minutes. I always have a full bowl of water readily available for animals. I have plenty of toys and area for the animals to relax and lay down. I make sure all wires and kitchen appliances are kept far away and out of reach so no accidents happen!
“Nicolette house/pet sat for us for 4 days. She came over to meet Lucy and Tanner a few days before our trip. She asked so many great questions, took notes and was very thorough. I was impressed right away! I felt confident she was going to take good care of L&T ,as well as, our house. And she did that and then some!! She sent pics and even texted me when she saw someone in the backyard. She wanted to make sure they were supposed to be here. She is responsible, conscientious AND has an awesome personality!!😁 I can’t rave about her enough! I give Nicolette an overall A++++ !!❤️”
About: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Since I’m able to bring my schoolwork with me, I can comfortably spend extended time in your home while still keeping up with my studies and, most importantly, providing your pets with companionship and care. The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routines and your specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.
About: I have had animals since I was a child, and I have worked in a veterinary assistant position for almost 4 years, so whatever attention your older or younger animals need, I can also provide. I am a full-time college student, so my schedule will vary between semesters, and between weeks. However, I am more than willing to verify my schedule with you if there are any questions. I live in a small apartment with my cat and reptiles, so having other animals here is not worth it in my opinion. So I have no problems with going over.
“Raquel did a week long overnight with my pooch Tuukka. I've never been more comfortable with anybody else and I know Tuukka was give an exceptional care. I think he bonded with her... Her care for Tuukka, her thoughtfulness, her clear and prompt communication and the condition she kept the house were all exceptional. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of several pets throughout the years since I was a child. I like to form bonds rather than just feed the babies!

We follow directions and send updates frequently I understand each pet has a specific need as does any human. I am willing to learn each need and personality of each of your loved ones until they get their parents back 😃

“Michelle was a perfect fit for our needs. She had very good communication with us and kept us abreast also with photos of our dog. She also took great care of our two cats. Our dog Riley liked Michelle the instant she saw her. Michelle is very tidy and neat. She even took out the trash for us. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the near future.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred San Pablo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in San Pablo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in San Pablo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
