About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets with different needs. I currently have two cats, one of whom has asthma and requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and monitoring symptoms. I also have a German Shepherd and recently rescued a puppy I found under an overpass who was battling parvo, which made me especially well-versed in careful medication administration, recovery care, and providing patient, attentive support. I’m currently unemployed and have all the time and opportunity in the world to care for your fur babies! I understand how important routine is as well in our pets lives, I make sure I do my rounds every morning and evening with all my critters! my number one priority with any pet is to give them my full undivided love, care, and attention that they deserve. i will do anything in my power to make any pet feel safe and comfortable with me! It’s very important to meet other pets and animals on their level, make it an equal and easy calm experience meeting a new person!

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Justine. I had a sitter no show the morning of my trip and was honestly panicking. Justine stepped in with only a couple of hours’ notice, came right over, asked smart, caring questions, and immediately put me at ease. My two rabbits, Bunbun and Baby, have very unique care needs, and I’m normally pretty nervous leaving them. Justine was attentive, communicative, and so thorough. She kept me updated every step of the way, check-ins, updates, and tons of photos every day. She even brought my garbage can back in from the street, which was so thoughtful. What impressed me most is that Bunbun and Baby seemed to warm up to her faster than they usually would with someone new, which says everything about her calm, patient energy. I felt completely comfortable having her in my home and for the first time, I was able to just enjoy my vacation without worry. I’m so genuinely grateful Justine was there. She turned what could have been a disaster into such a positive experience. Reliable, compassionate, and above and beyond. Thank you, Justine!”

“Kaitlin took such wonderful care of our older, shy kitty. We could tell that she went to extra lengths to check in on kitty even when she was in hiding places. We were also in the process of changing to a special diet and Kaitlin did great at ensuring that kitty was eating and hydrating. We would definitely use Kaitlin again for pet care and recommend her!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I currently have a dog and two cats, and I'm also trusted in my neighborhood and amongst family and friends as someone to watch their animals when they're gone. Im a full time college student but I usually always have my own animals in my bedroom with me, sitting under (or on top of) my desk while I work. I have a friendly dog who absolutely loves play dates, so your dog would never get bored. My backyard is quite large so the dogs have tons of room to run around and play. The fences are regularly checked for holes under them to ensure our dog can't get out. I also have two large cat cages in my home where each of my cats sleep, but if needed, they can sleep in the same cage and the other one can be used to provide your pet some privacy, with their own food and water dishes. I have many many many interactive cat toys so even while i'm working, they can play with the toys that are attached to my desk and walls, along with scratching posts.

“We were so happy with the care our dog received from Rylie. She went above and beyond with our golden retriever. We were on a 9 day vacation and she came three times a day and walked our dog once a day. We weren’t expecting our dog to get sick while she was here and have several accidents around our house. She handled the situation very professionally. She didn’t complain or get upset. She took care of it without any hesitation. She even went to the store and bought her more food and pumpkin to calm her belly. It worked out and she felt better and we were so relieved that we didn’t have to worry about our dog while in her care. I highly recommend this sweet young lady to anyone looking for a competent and loving dog sitter.”

About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had a ♥ for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and a mini pig. A plus for me is that I have been a foster for Animal Rescue of Tracy for 10+ years now, so I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats, from those who need special medication to rambunctious dogs to newborn kittens. There is no animal you can give me that I will not love, pet, cuddle, and care for. 🌷 I am a responsible 25 year old who has been caring for animals my whole life. This is my first Rover account, but I have been pet sitting in the Tracy community for 10 years. I live on 1.5 acres with 25 + animals, so I am very experienced and would love to help out with your furry friends! :) I'm currently working part-time with the majority of my work being remote so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! 🏡 I live on 1.5 acres of property so your dogs will have plenty of space to run around, play, and relieve themselves. Depending on your dog's friendliness, they can remain inside with my two small dogs, or I can keep them in our supervised dog run area just for them. If you have cats, they will be contained in their own area in my house so that they do not run and hide, as new environments tend to cause anxiety. 🏠 If house sitting, I make the animals feel as comfortable as possible to ease any stress of their owners being away. Pets & play are always guaranteed. I also send pictures everyday & when asked! ⭐ My routine is simple: follow your directions on feeding, walking, medication if needed, and I will handle the other most important part: giving them lots of love!

About: Hi, my name is Celeste. I have had many years of dog experience being a dog owner myself for my whole life. I know that our babies are family and they should be treated as such. They deserve to be treated with kindness, love, and patience. An animal is a gift (even when they’re crazy, ahah). I recently came across many videos online of what happens when we leave our babies with people, and it broke my heart, so I wanted to step out and be the difference. I want you to know that your little piece of family that you’d be leaving with me will always be safe, cared for, protected, and loved. It’s a big step of faith letting a stranger watch over your fur baby, but I want to make sure both you and them are comfortable in every possible way that you need. I know that every owner and every baby is different, and I’m willing to adapt to it all. If you do choose to let me take care of your baby, whether it be for the day or for a long stay, please know they are in the safest possible place they can be 💖. Thank you, and God bless. I’m currently part time at my job and my schedule is very open. I would have more than enough time for walks, playing, and treats. If you let me know in advance I can work out anything on my schedule ☺️ flexibility is one of the pluses on my belt. I have a fenced yard, and a Dog run. I also have crates available if they’re needed. I have 4 fur baby’s of my own that are very friendly and would keep ur baby company. Depending on how ur home is and what ur baby’s schedule is, caring for ur pet in ur home will always vary on you but like I said im adaptable to anything. Any questions? Feel free to ask ♡ !.

“Gabriela was very attentive to my dogs. Made me feel much better that they were still getting attention each day and they were not losing out on anything. I will definitely be using her in the future for trips and she was very responsive and followed all directions as requested. She was a pleasure to meet before the trip and have the dogs meet her and she was happy to get down on their level and help them to get to know her and they got more and more comfortable as the days progressed. Thank you so much Gabriela we appreciate you so very much!”

About: I’ve been raised with dogs my whole life, with my own fur baby adopted little over a year! My family and friends have trusted me to watch/walk their dogs numerous times. Dogs tend to gravitate towards myself, they can probably smell that i like them :-D Just recently graduated from college, looking for a side hustle while following my career goals! During the week I have the most free time, with weekends usually away traveling. I am extremely active with no issues walking far distances for your fur baby, and will adhere to any necessities for your dogs maintenance (medicine, feeding, etc).

About: I am available any day of the week! :) I was an employee at Diggity Dog Playhouse for about 2 years and I absolutely loved my job and all the dogs that would come in ,i was truly blessed with that job. I can honestly say i would be lost without dogs mainly because dogs are very therapeutic for me. I truly love working with animals. It seems dogs tend to adore me as much as i adore them haha, I'm hoping it's the calm and warm energy i give off. Your dog/dogs,cats etc. will be under the best care and that i guarantee! This isn't just a job for me, it’s something i truly enjoy doing & that brings joy to my life. :) I’m currently working part-time & my job is very lenient so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups !

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve also potty trained three dogs and worked with them on basic commands, giving me hands-on experience with training and understanding dog behavior. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I regularly walked dogs and spent time keeping them company. That experience taught me how important it is to approach every new dog patiently and respectfully, while paying attention to their body language and comfort level. I know that every dog is different and that even the sweetest dogs can be unpredictable in a new environment. I take the time to build trust and let each dog warm up to me at their own pace. Above all, I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care—just like one of my own. I'm currently not working at the moment, so I have lots of time to help cater to your dog's needs! I am free most weekdays and weekends, from early morning to early afternoon. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping pets comfortable in their own routine and environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, potty, medication, and play schedules as closely as possible. I also take time to give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Because I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have volunteered at an animal shelter, I’m comfortable with dogs of many different personalities. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m patient when getting to know a new pet and attentive to their body language and individual needs. I treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own.

About: Hi! My name is Manveen, and caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. With over 15 years of hands-on experience in pet caregiving, I understand that pets are not just animals — they are family. I provide services ranging from daily walks and feedings to administering medications and offering specialized care for senior or special-needs animals. I pride myself on my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for every pet I meet. Whether your pet needs a fun, energetic companion or a calm, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. You can feel confident knowing that your furry family member will be safe, loved, and treated with the utmost respect while in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets! Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine. I work part time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, personalized care for each pet. I also have a Shih Tzu of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Caring for animals is a part of my everyday life, and I’m committed to giving each pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. At my home, pets enjoy a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced yard, a big backyard for play, and the company of my friendly Shih Tzu. I follow a consistent routine with plenty of love, exercise, and care. In a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s regular schedule, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

I really can't say enough good things about Kimberly. Once again, she went above and beyond while caring for our pack of crazy critters this past weekend. Awesome communication, in-depth updates with photos, and a totally professional approach to dog-sitting. We feel really lucky to have her as a sitter, definitely highly recommend her to others, and can't wait to book with her again.

Mia is amazing! We’ve used her twice so far and will absolutely hire her again in the future. We have two cats, one is a sweet senior kitty with lots of care needs- inhaler, pills, ear creams, etc. Mia was already familiar with the medication administration which gave me massive peace of mind while away. She did everything we asked of her, communicated well before and during and really made us feel comfortable with our babies in her hands. Both times, we’ve come home to happy, well fed kitties. Thank you Mia!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Katherine was absolutely wonderful! 🥰 We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our little furry and feathered family while we were away! She took such great care of our four cats and two birds, making sure everyone was happy, well-fed, and had fresh water. She even took care of our plants! 🌿 Her updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind during our vacation. It’s such a great feeling to know your babies are in loving and responsible hands when you’re far from home. We truly appreciate her kindness, attention to detail, and the care she showed our little family. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful and reliable pet sitter! Thank you so much, Katherine! ❤️🐱🦜

Cristina is awesome! This is the second time she’s done a visit for my cats. They usually hide and with her they come right out. She gives them all treats and gives my boy cat who’s the only friendly one, so much love and attention. She really makes all my cats feel so comfortable when I’m away. She sends me so many photos and notes of how the visit went. I highly recommend Cristina!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tracy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tracy is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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 2,065 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tracy. 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 Tracy. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
