“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
“Samantha took such great care of our two kitties while we were gone for 4ish days on vacation! Between the check-in updates and the multiple photos, we didn't have to worry one bit about how they were doing. Even our super shy boy, Jynx, who some people think is only a myth due to never seeing him for years, came out on Samantha's first visit and made an appearance each time. The next time we need a sitter again, Samantha will be our first choice.”
“Sulamita is so great to work with! Dependable and flexible! We really appreciated that she accepted our last minute request and then even let us add more visits unexpectedly.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years, including my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Friends and family regularly rely on me for boarding, walks, and overnight care. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also familiar with feeding routines, basic training, and handling different energy levels. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs in a home setting and always prioritize supervision, routine, and comfort. I can accommodate crate training if needed and will follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“France has been nothing short of incredible! We worked on my pup's schedule together, as I recently started a new job and needed some flexibility. Today, she took him for a walk; seeing him so happy was the best feeling! I highly recommend Frances; her care, communication, and knowledge about her services are outstanding. If you're looking for an excellent dog walker, this is your chance to meet Frances and make your puppy as lucky as mine!”
“Savannah is amazing!!! I highly recommend her for your furry babies! This is my first time using Rover and a sitter for my baby regardless. She made it very easy and definitely made me feel less anxious leaving my baby at home. She provides lots and lots of pictures and videos which I loved while away. She goes the extra mile which I very much appreciate! Bogie (my cat) and I love her!”
About: Hi! I'm Vicki :) and I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever mix. I have also raised pet fish, turtles, hamsters, and parakeets. I adopted my own dog when I was in college, he is an 11 year old Chihuahua mix. I will take care and love your dog as if he/she was my own. I know how to bathe them, grind their nails, and administer medication if needed or requested. Through my attentive care, I like to create an environment where dogs can feel safe and comfortable around me. Whether it's following their regular routine, providing ample playtime, or just offering companionship, I ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for both you and your beloved pet(s). With a genuine love for dogs and a commitment to providing top-notch care, I guarantee a tail-wagging good time for your furry friends. I work remote from every day of the week except Wednesdays. I go into the office (in SF) on Wednesdays, but other than that, my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available on weekends as well. I will care for your dog in your home with what their regular routine usually is. Unless the yard is fenced in, I will not let your dog off-leash.
About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy.

I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for family and friends for many years, with experience handling dogs of all sizes, from a 6-lb chihuahua to a 100-lb bullmastiff. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, and spending quality playtime with them to keep them happy and engaged. I also have my own 11-month-old puppy, which has given me daily, hands-on experience with routines, care, and very basic training. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and always strive to make sure they feel safe/happy and are well cared for. I have full availability to do drop-ins or walks Monday through Friday every week from 7 am to 3 pm. I will keep my calendar updated frequently. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, or plenty of affection. I’m comfortable administering basic oral medications if needed, and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for during drop-in visits and walks.

“Adaley has been wonderful! The first time we met, she brought a notebook and pen, and asked about our cat George’s favorite toys. We’ve had her sit for us twice and she’s reliable, trustworthy, prompt, flexible, and all about your pet. She brought our cat a ball of yarn to play with, which we haven’t tried before, and he loved it! She sends updates and photos with each visit, and our cat who isn’t the most social or friendly with others warmed up to her quickly. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi! I have two dogs myself. One is 3 years old and the other is 7 months! I have had 6 years of part time experience of walking/sitting for friends and family and have loved it. I am currently working full time from 7-5 Monday through Friday. I am able to pet/house sit Monday through Friday if mid day visits are not required. I am looking to make some extra cash for future life events! Evening walks or play time is no issue! It’s a great way to decompress at the end of the day and show your pet the attention they need. Crating or kenneling your pet is no problem for me as we do this with my own dogs. Obedience training is also easy peasy as long as a list of words you use it provided so I can stay consistent with your training.
“Selena was wonderful! My cat Ash loved her and she was very attentive to his needs. Very easy to get a hold of and accommodated all my requests! She is super loving to all pets!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of cats and dogs in the past 10+ years. Friends have relied on me to take care their pets (dog boarding/home visits) when They are away. I am mainly working from home, so I can adjust my work time to fit your pets’ need on weekday. And should be all available on weekend. I care for my pets like my family. For your pet, I will understand What your pet needs first, and take care of them as you usually do, not making them stressed about your away.
“Kamila was great and super helpful when we needed a sitter for our two cats. Communicated well and always arrived on time. Both cats were happy & healthy when we got home and even my cat that’s shy with strangers quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely book again in the future!”

Samantha was absolutely incredible, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she started caring for Hudson and Jaxson, it was clear how attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring she is. She made sure both dogs were well taken care of with regular potty breaks, meals, and water, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. What really stood out was how thoughtful and communicative she was, keeping us updated and treating our dogs like they were her own. Hudson and Jaxson both seemed happy, comfortable, and relaxed when we got back, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Samantha exceeded every expectation. We would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals.
My husband has mobility issues so he needed help taking care of our cat and dog while I was away. Daria was amazing from the very beginning. She got right back to me when I initially started looking for a petsitter. She showed up on time and was also flexible. She was very helpful and always asked if there was anything else she could do. She was very caring with my dog annd cat, and they both loved her! She kept me in the loop with texts, pictures, videos and even asked if I wanted to FaceTime to say hi to them. I would highly recommend her! She will definitely be our go to next time without a doubt! Thank you so much Daria!
Our pups enjoy having Taylor visit them. She does such a great job caring for our pups and keeps us informed of how they are doing. We are always at ease knowing they are being cared for by Taylor when we are away. She is very responsive and we highly recommend her services!
Kaylyn was AMAZING doing daily drop in visits for our shepherd mix puppy while I was out of town. Eve can be a little hesitant around new people but she instantly loved Kaylyn. Kaylyn was also good about approaching Eve at her speed and understanding where she was at. 10/10 recommend her & will definitely book her again!
Bar is amazing at taking care of our 17 week old golden retriever puppy, playing with him and teaching him good behavior. She is very patient and caring. Our puppy loves spending time with her. She is also very responsive on Rover and very courteous. We are so glad she is able to take care of our puppy!
I recently had the pleasure of having Audrey as our pet sitter for our two dogs, Sparta and Colt, and I can't recommend her enough! From the very start, Audrey's professionalism shone through in her communication. She was always prompt and thorough in her responses, making us feel at ease about leaving our pets in her care. During the pet sitting, Audrey took exceptional care of our home and, more importantly, our dogs. Knowing that both Sparta and Colt experience separation anxiety, she went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and happy. Audrey kept us updated regularly, sharing photos and messages that allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. We felt completely confident that our dogs were in the best hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Audrey.
Tiffany was absolutely wonderful. Despite severe rain, inclement weather, and the busy holiday period, she was consistently punctual for every drop-in. Her reliability gave us real peace of mind. Tiffany is truly someone you can set your time by; professional, dependable, and very conscientious. We were very satisfied with the service she provided and would highly recommend her.
