“Kateryna was wonderful with Amos, and we will be booking her again for more check-ins. She is caring and kind with Amos, which is great for the 12.5-year-old little guy who is pretty mellow and low-key.”


“Indie was amazing! She took great care of our cat, Teddy, and he absolutely loved her. She sent us wonderful photos and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and tidying up, things we didn’t ask for but really appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and would absolutely book with Indie again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I’m also a proud pet parent to two cats and a dog, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with them. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats over the years, and I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat wants some attention and cuddles, or your pet just needs someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being taken care of! I’m currently in school so I have a lot of flexibility for drop in visits throughout the day! I’m available during the week as well as weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, keeping their routines comfortable and familiar. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and secure.

About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.
“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.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog in the past and helped care for him by feeding him and taking him on walks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to their routines. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while their owner is away. I always follow the owner’s care instructions and try to keep each pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are taken care of, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets get the attention, playtime, or space they need. I’m respectful of both the pet and the owner’s home, and I’ll provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Melissa! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have my own Goldendoodle Bentley, who’s 6. We love beach days, long walks, and hanging out with friends. Since my last review in 2023, I took a bit of a break but I’m excited to be taking on new clients again. I’ve continued caring for dogs in my life whenever friends and family are out of town, and I can’t wait to meet your pup! My schedule is pretty flexibility and my availability is always up to date. I’m also available on most weekends! My pup and I have a relaxed routine so it will be easy to adapt to yours :) For house sitting, I’m respectful of you, your home, and your pet’s needs so we can arrange care that you’re comfortable with. Let’s chat more!
About: Caring for cats, dogs and horses since I was 15. Worked in emergency veterinary care for 15 years. Not only will I ensure your fur baby is safe but also that they stay on their regular routine. Only working Tuesday-Thursday at the moment so I have plenty of time for your pets needs and ensuring they are well cared for for in your absence I’m a stickler for routines and will absolutely make sure your pets regular feeding & potty schedule is adhered to. I also want to make sure they are comfortable while you’re out.
About: Every walk is a new experience for a dog, even if it's in familiar territory, and I enjoy helping a dog to have a great one. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for 30+ years and walked them in a professional sense for five. A few of the settings I've enjoyed with dogs are parks, beaches, forests, downtowns, and suburban areas. For most of the year, I am available: Monday morning & evening; Tuesday morning & evening; Wednesday thru Friday mornings only; Saturday most of day; Sunday all day. In a client's home, I will follow the directions of the pet parent and leave it as I found it, as well as making sure the property is secure.

“Kelly did a fantastic job. I had a last minute request - she was very accommodating and communicative. She even did some puppy crate training as a bonus! We are new to using Rover and I'm grateful Kelly was able to help! I highly recommend her!”

“Tatiana is absolutely wonderful! Our cat Avery is, well, spicy and Tatiana handles her wonderfully. She always goes above and beyond, scooping the litter box, changing out water and she even vacuumed and washed some dishes left out for us. I highly recommend her. She is super sweet, thorough, and trustworthy.”

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: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Creek
Courtney completed a drop-in visit for us while we were out for the evening and she did a fantastic job! Ernie can be stubborn about his potty breaks at times, but Courtney tried everything she could including taking him on a mini-walk to try to get him to go - which he finally did! We really appreciated that she was diligent in her efforts as we came home to a happy dog and no accidents. 🥰🐾🥰❤️🐾💕❤️

You continue to be the best cat sitter ever. You put my mind at ease right away. You take extra special care of my little guys. You’ve done so well you’ve gotten Tux to overcome his fear of his parents being away. And you’ve provided extra good care to Theo! Thank you for everything.

Agne is the best! She was extremely punctual and went above and beyond in caring for our 2 cats. She even brought in packages and cleaned up crazy cat litter messes (one of our cats likes to kick litter out of the box). We had great peace of mind that our home/cats were cared for while we were away

Emily was amazing with my cat Teddy! She was friendly, on time, followed all instructions, and truly went above and beyond. Brushing him, playing with him, and giving him lots of attention. After only two visits, Teddy was already on his back asking her for belly rubs, which he NEVER does with strangers. That alone says how comfortable and safe he felt with her. I’d absolutely book Emily again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾

Katja took such great care of Teddy while we were on vacation!🐱❤️ She kept us updated throughout, sent us lots of pictures, and was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She even came by for a meet & greet beforehand, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy was clearly in great hands, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely rebook Katja again! Highly recommend! Thank you, Katja!

We had a wonderful experience with Susan! She cared for our cat for several days while we were out of town, coming twice a day to feed and check on him. She provided a very helpful meet & greet prior to the booking and was prompt and responsive in all communications. She was gentle and patient with our shy kitty and earned his trust for belly rubs by the end of their visits!! I super appreciated her thorough narrative and photo updates each day. Thank you Susan!!! :)

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 12,878 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walnut Creek. 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 Walnut Creek 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 Walnut Creek. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
