“Fiona is wonderful she is very knowledgeable about dogs and was so kind to my anxious dog. She came to me for a meet and greet and followed every direction. I would love to have Fiona watch my dog again!”
“I can't say enough about the wonderful job that Darla did in taking care of my two dogs. Bosch and Ayla are a bit shy at times and don't like to have change in their routine. Darla was wonderful with both dogs. She cared for my home Like it was her own. I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. Growing up my mom worked in a pet store and I use to help her out after school. I have had dog in my home my whole live from little puppies to older pups. I love to nestly up on a couch and knitt with a furry friend by my side. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of free time for fun pet care. I really enjoying the flexible work schedule and getting to spend my time with animals. While in the client's home I will spend time with the family pet, playing , cuddles and proving care. If I have my primary job that day I will let the animal do their business in the morning, make sure they have food and water. I will return in the afternoon for play time and to support their need.
“Xaniah took wonderful care of our two dogs, Ella and Mia, while we were away on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We especially appreciated all of the photo updates throughout our trip—they made it so much easier to relax knowing our girls were happy and doing well. Thank you for taking such great care of them! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and highly recommend Xaniah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Aileen did an amazing job taking care of Dolly! She took the time to learn Dolly’s habits and preferences, and Dolly was immediately at ease with her. We felt completely comfortable leaving for the evening knowing Dolly was in her care. Aileen was communicative, kind, and incredibly easy to work with—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”
About: As a new Vallejo resident, dedicated local shelter volunteer, and avid runner, I bring energy, care, and reliability to every walk. I love keeping dogs happy, safe, and active, whether on a brisk jog or a gentle stroll through the neighborhood. I work from home or on the go at my own schedule. I am free usually every day of the week all day.for pet care. I prioritize safety and peace of mind by strictly following your detailed care instructions, maintaining your dog's regular routine, securing entry points, and providing attentive, loving care in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.

Thank you Cerene D!”
“Esther was awesome and took great care of our pup. She went above and beyond staying in touch, sending photos and keeping us updated while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for friends and neighbors dogs for years now. I’ve never had the opportunity to have a dog myself so I live vicariously through taking care of others dogs! I’m currently a college student and I’m available to work weekends and even nights. Right now I’m on summer break so my availability is pretty open! I’m very flexible with what is best for the dog/for the client in their home. I’ll make sure the dog won’t be able to get out and will keep a watchful eye.
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Our dogs were well and happy when we returned from our trip. Gabby was very friendly and most importantly she was very responsive! She replied in a timely manner to our inquiries and even bought dog food when we ran out. I would definitely recommend her as a house/ dog sitter.”
“Allison watched our dog Lucy while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was very responsive and flexible with booking and we appreciated that she watched our dog with short notice. Her daily updates and pictures were so kind and Lucy looked the happiest being watched by her. Would definitely recommend Allison to our friends and others.”
About: Hi! Some of my best memories with pets come from taking care of my friends’ pomeranian puppy during his first few years of life. I got to understand his playing, eating, and walking habits, and my friends could always rely on me to ensure he was cared for. I hope I can do the same your pets as well! My availability is open! Most of my work is remote so I’m able to take in almost any request. Depending on the energy of your fur baby they can work alongside with me if they like:) I live with two other people — one works in the morning and one works at night, and they love when pets are in the house. I have a fenced yard as well as an open living room for a playpen and/or crate! I also have a car harness available for larger pets if transportation is needed.
About: I’ve always absolutely adored animals! I became a vegetarian when I was 6 years old and I’ve been vegan now for 9 years. I’ve always been a go-to house/pet sitter for my friends and family, as everyone knows I treat every fur baby as my own! I also have experience working at an actual dog hotel + doggy daycare, so I’m very familiar and comfortable with administering medications, juggling multiple animals at once, and paying close attention to certain behaviors. My full time position is WFH + eastern time hours (6am-3pm) so I have an incredibly flexible schedule being able to work from anywhere. My full time job is 100% WFH, so I can work elsewhere is needed. Otherwise, being off at 3pm makes it feel like I still have the whole day ahead of me by the time I’m off work! Pet care is something my world revolves around, happily! If your pet is ever at my house, there’s quite a few perks with that! (1) built-in doggy best friend in my pug that LOVES other dogs (2) fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around and comfortably go potty (3) dogs are allowed on all of my furniture, so the snuggles are the sweetest and comfiest!
About: Hi, I’ve been dog sitting for awhile. Usually for friends. I have 2 small dogs, 5lb yorkie/maltese 10yr, and 8lb Pomeranian mix 12yr. They’re walked regularly, and on weekends, I usually take my dogs hiking. If I make other plans, such as a beach bonfire or camping trip, my dogs come along with me. Your dogs are more than welcome to join. I also have a fenced backyard and beds available for them indoor and outdoors. They’re fully vaccinated. I also have a well behaved cat that wants no part of anything. Not even me! She does her own thing and is the sweetest when she wants attention. I have experienced with special needs dogs with seizures and those that need meds, even freshly neutered and spayed. I’m doing weekends for now. F-Sun. Unless you’re ok with them staying at my house while I’m at work. I’ll be hybrid soon. I’m willing to stay at your place or bring them over to mine. They have free range of the house except the rooms and the fenced backyard. My dogs have free range of their food, they eat when they’re hungry. But if your dogs are a set schedule, I can accommodate that. My dogs know they’ll be on a set schedule as well.

Wonderful sitter! She was professional, detail-oriented, and so kind and patient with our puppy. Even when our puppy gave her a few challenges, she handled everything calmly and kept us well informed. We’d absolutely have her back. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our puppy!
Ilse went above and beyond when it came to caring for my dogs and reassuring me while I was away! She stayed at my house and made sure my dogs were well taken care of, loved, and comfortable. She truly treated them like her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Ilse and would absolutely book with her again!

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 Vallejo 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 Vallejo 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Vallejo 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
