About: I've been taking care of my best friend's and my neighbors' dogs since before I can remember, and have two very happy and healthy cats myself. I can take care of any animal, but cats and dogs are my favorites. I love to take dogs on walks and playing fetch (even on 100+ degree days) because every dog deserves the best treatment. Pet care is 24/7 for me with two cats, but since it's summertime, I'm able to be free any day of the week at any time to take care of pets, and can spend long amounts of time with pets without having to leave them. I will follow any and all rules and set by you, including feeding times, walk requests and more, as all I want is to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and taken care of properly. I am very enthusiastic about walks and even just playing with and petting dogs, and I just want to make sure pets are happy and healthy😸.
“The first time using Chloe to take care of my two cats while away for a long weekend. She met me and my cats before I hired her, and I liked her right away. You can tell she really loves animals. I am very pleased with her care. She did an excellent job and shared updates and photos every day which put my mind at ease. She not only fed the cats, but she took the time to also play with them. I immediately book her again for our next trip.”
“Wendy was so wonderful with our two Maine coon cats! She not only was prompt and ultra communicative, but also took such good care of our boys and sent us lots of amazing pictures and videos. We had such peace of mind knowing Wendy was checking in on our boys and that they were comfortable with her. She followed the instructions we left to a T and even offered to help with extra clean-up around the litter boxes. We will definitely be re-booking!”
“Brooke did a fantastic job with Zorro over two weeks and we couldn’t be happier with her professionalism, kindness and care for our dog. We received daily reports and discussed any question we or she might have had. We highly recommend Brooke and we will look forward to working together in the future.”
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
“Carina was wonderful with our pug! Very kind, dependable, and kept in touch with me throughout the time we were away. I felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!!”
About: Hi! I’m Abi I have years of experience training, taking care of and helping service dogs and pets! I have 2 cats, Ollie and Blue as well as a wonderful golden retriever named Louie I am a service dog and pet trainer. I take care of dogs every day of the week!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve always had multiple pets my whole life from a young age, learned responsibilities by feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, training and medically providing for all my pets and any animal in my care. I have experience working in multiple vet clinics throughout my childhood as I was a pre-vet major up until junior year of college so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and medical knowledge as well. I now have my own dog, Appa, who is 2 that I raised from a puppy and am currently self training. I am currently a phd grad student at vanderbilt university so I have morning classes and lab work, but I live right down the road from campus (less than 5 min drive) and I always come home immediately after my classes/work to be home with Appa. Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I spend as much time as i can working from home so I can be with my dog. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and i live with my 2 year old fur baby named Appa! I have an apt with room for some zoomies and room to play with toys, I have a balcony if they like being outside and my buidling also has a small dog park on the roof with 2 fenced circular yards lined with turf so they can run around at a mini park as much as they want!
“First time using Rover. Any reservations I had going into this were quickly dissolved by Justine’s friendly and prompt responses. I appreciate the communications prior to the visit and also the updates during and afterwards. I would absolutely request her again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I can remember! I grew up on a farm and worked for other local farms, taking care of animals ranging from large dogs to barn cats. My own dogs are high-energy, intelligent breeds, including a Border Collie and an Australian Shepherd, that I have trained myself. I also had a beagle who had many medical problems that required extensive senior care. I am available and flexible anytime on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays for pet care. I am less flexible on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but may have options if need be. To ensure a safe and trusting environment in my client's home, I will always be extremely attentive to the animal's needs, while having a fun, engaging time! I will also be sure to alert my client if anything is wrong or out of the norm for their pets.
“Heather is great! She responded quickly to my request, she communicated clearly, was on time, and my dogs loved her (especially when she played their favorite ball game!). Highly recommend her!”
“This was Shannon's second time sitting for us - she is very conscientious, and affectionate with our cat. She provides daily photos and feedback, and is very prompt with communication - 5 stars all around!”
“Victoria was excellent. on time to let my dog out and even appreciated that he was very “senior” dog. my plans changed but i would have Victoria back if i ever use Rover again. she communicated really well too and send photos of Lucky!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, going on 40+ years. I currently own three large rescue dogs whom I walk daily. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike as I’ve rescued puppies and also have taken care of my dogs through old age. I am a stay at home mom to two active children. I am available to work with most schedules during the week as my children are a little older. I can walk any dog as I walk three of my own totaling 200 pounds. I can also provide pop in visits so your dog can go out and eat and just have company for awhile.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Stockton is $20

Stephanie is a GEM. She took amazing care of Clio, went above and beyond, bringing treats for our chickens, and writing thoughtful (and reassuring) notes for us. She is an excellent communicator, loves animals and caring for them, and we will definitely be using her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 7,967 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stockton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Stockton 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 Stockton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
