About: I have 12+ years experience working with animals with special needs and behavioral issues. I grew up caring for pets of all types. In high school I was the go to neighborhood dog sitter and I was an intern with a local dog trainer for a year. I currently have three dogs and I help to care for my sister’s cats and dog while she’s at work. If you are looking for compassionate, safe and reliable care for your pets, look no further. I’d love to help. As of now, I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anytime in the morning until 2:30pm. I am available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide loving, attentive care while following your pet’s routine and any special instructions. I ensure dogs get safe, enjoyable walks with plenty of exercise and fresh water, and I make sure cats receive companionship, playtime, and care in a calm environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.

I felt at ease having Shawna coming in to check on Salem while I was away! Salem was immediately comfortable with her presence at our meet and greet and went up to greet her right away, which is a little different for her because she’ll usually observe new people from a corner for a few minutes. She did a great job making sure Salem had what she needed and gave her some extra love while I was gone.

About: I have been dog-sitting since I was a child. Anytime my neighbors went out of town, they would ask me to take care of their dogs such as feeding them, playing with them, and taking them outside. One of them was a K-9. Since then I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, and I currently work with children who developmental disabilities such as autism. I’m currently working: Monday 3PM-6PM Tuesday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Thursday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Friday 2PM-5PM Saturday 9AM-12PM Any time not listed above is my availability. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I currently don’t have any of my own due to my household not allowing pets, but I grew up dog-sitting for my neighbors and have since volunteered at my local animal shelter.

About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.

About: Hi my name is Camille and I am currently a nursing student waiting to start my first semester in 2027 looking for a fun extra side job. My dog who was 15 years old passed away last year. I had him his whole life and took care of him from a puppy to a senior. Being around animals makes me really happy and I love all dogs and cats. I have a lot of experience dog sitting, dog walking, keeping track of feeding times/potty breaks, I also have done a few cat sitting gigs for friends. I do work part time as a bartender , and i’m on a break from nursing school till 2027 so my availability is very open besides when I go to the gym, but walking dogs can be an exercise as well! I have a big backyard and a nice house for dogs to run around in. I also love to be active with animals and play with them.

About: Hi! We’re Haruka & Dan, a dog-loving couple with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past 3 years, we’ve been fostering with Rocket Dog Rescue, welcoming everything from tiny puppies just a few weeks old to large adult dogs into our home. We also regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. One of us is usually home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. We also have two large, friendly dogs who love meeting and playing with other dogs. We understand that every dog is unique, and we’ll do our best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I sometimes work weekday afternoons, but my husband works from home, so either one of us are home. We block the dates that neither one of us are home. We are confident to take care of any dogs as foster parents. I know some of your dogs are reactive or skittish, but we’ve worked with them before so we’re prepared. Also we have 2 Great Pyrenees, they can play with your dog!

About: Hi! I'm Heather Rae, a dependable, compassionate animal lover based in Vacaville and serving surrounding communities. Animals have always been a grounding part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust while giving them the attention they deserve. Whether your pet loves long walks, 🎶 pinã coladas🍍, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'm patient with senior pets, attentive to details like medications and feeding schedules, and happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind. I'm an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so energetic dogs get plenty of exercise, while older pets receive gentle, patient care at their own pace. Professionally, I've spent years working in clients' homes as a freelance makeup artist and personal assistant, where reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and respect for people's homes are essential. I bring those same qualities to every house-sitting and pet-care visit. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that's exactly as you left it. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to work around your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening cuddles, or overnight stays, I'm happy to help. I also understand that plans can change, so I'll do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big deal. I'll treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routines closely, keep doors and gates secure, clean up after myself (and your pet!), and make sure your furry family member gets plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy and in good hands.

About: I have been surrounded by cats since I was a baby. I currently have two cats and would love to take care of yours like it was mine! I was trying to make a cat only profile but I could not find the only option. I'm currently trying to build a playpen out of my garage to board cats only. Each cat will have a big size enclosure and have individual brakes to play and roam around the playpen by himself. I plan to keep them separate from other possible guest cats to avoid any physical confrontation. You can bring your own food, toys and bed. Let me know if you have any questions or if you cat needs any special accommodations. I'll hope to hear from you!

About: I love caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! My family calls me the “dog whisperer” and I’m highly reliable and can almost always meet your time requirements for check-ins and walks! I pay attention to detail in case your dog has to take medication or has other restrictions (diet, joints, etc.). I currently work full-time as a Law Enforcement Professional. I am typically working Tues-Fri 7a-530p. I am available to drop in and care for your fur babies any time around that schedule with proper notice. I will only walk your fur baby on the requested route should there be one, and for the requested time. During check-ins, I will make sure to clean up any messes made by your fur baby upon arrival and before I leave. If there are any special instructions regarding the care of your fur baby, I will be sure to adhere to those as well.

About: Growing up, my family had a menagerie of pets. In addition to cats and dogs, we had everything from rabbits, chickens, horses, birds, both salt water and fresh water fish. Today, I keep a few species of reptiles and occasionally help my grandma with our two family horses. Looking forward to getting in my cat/dog time in with your pet! I'm widely available mon-fri during the days when most people are at work. While I'm less available on weekends, I am occasionally available on Saturdays. I like to meet animals where they're at and work from there. Whether that means going slow on walks or going to the park to run, is up to the dog. For cats, everything is on their terms also, it just looks different.

Shawna took wonderful and attentive care of our kitties and fish while we were away! She was always on time, and we really appreciated her thorough and fast communication with us. Shawna shared detailed Rover Card descriptions, photos, and videos of our fur babies during each visit. It gave us so much peace of mind during our vacation knowing our cats were in great hands! We 100% recommend Shawna for anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely look to her again when we need a pet sitter in the future :)

Camille was the perfect sitter for my two dogs! I booked 10 days of drop-in visits and the whole experience was smooth. She visited my dogs twice a day and my pups loved her. I enjoyed all of the updates and photos that were sent. Camille was a quick communicator anytime I had a question while I was away. I appreciated that she was able to take care of my senior Husky with chronic arthritis, which I was the most nervous about since he can be picky with who tends to him. I would absolutely book Camille again!

Nicky’s Amazing! 💯I couldn't be happier with the care my two dogs received! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You can truly tell he loves animals and treats them like family, not just pets. He kept me updated, paid attention to their routines and personalities, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend using Nicky’s services. It’s hard finding someone you can fully trust with your pets, and he exceeded every expectation. I will definitely be booking with him again. Thank you Nicky!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,486 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vacaville. 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 Vacaville 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 .

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
