“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.”

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.

About: I have a vast experience of pet sitting dogs a variety of dogs and cats. Dogs breeds as small as Pomeranians to as large as an Australian Sheppards. I am an avid dog walker as well, and truly enjoy taking pets on a stroll for some activity and sunshine!! I can play fetch all day with pets or keep them occupied until they’re ready to rest. Whatever is needed, I can handle it!! I’ve I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule can be flexible depending on the week. I’m available during the weekdays and weekend. Occasionally I host open houses on the weekend, but only for 2-3 hours max. I typically watch over pets in the owners’ homes. During that time watching over pets, I make sure to keep any doors locked, unless I’m with them outside or in the backyard. I will have a leash with me or use one provided by pet owner for any walks. I make sure to double check that the water bowl is filled at all times. And I always keep the pets in my site, so I can monitor their activity and overall behavior.

About: I've always been able to read animals very easily. I can pick up on their body language and am able to quickly tell what they need, whether that's a break, some water, or just a little extra attention (or if they want some space!). I'm comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs from all age ranges, and I adjust to each animal instead of treating every walk the same. I think pets are truly a gift to this world and deserve every ounce of respect. I'm a full-time product designer and I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I don't have many meetings, which means I can usually step away for a walk or a drop-in during the day. Every day looks a little different, but I'm available more than most, so send me a message and we can find a time that works for you and your pup. I thrive on specific instruction and will follow your routine closely. I am extra careful to double-check that doors and gates are closed, and I think beyond the instructions to make sure your pet is taken care of. My goal is to make pet owners and pets feel completely comfortable with me in their space.

About: Hi! I'm Mathias, dog dad to two Jack Russells, Baco and Biella. I've been dog sitting and house sitting for family and friends since my teens, including a three week stay last summer. I keep pet care to weekends so your pup gets my full attention: overnight stays Friday and Saturday nights, plus walks and drop-ins all day Saturday and Sunday. Expect photo updates throughout the day, your dog's routine followed how you want it to be, and your home left exactly the way you trusted it to me. I keep pet care to weekends so I can give it my full attention. I'm available for overnight house-sitting stays Friday and Saturday nights, and open all day Saturday and Sunday for walks and drop-in visits. That means your pup gets someone fully present! When I stay at your home, I treat it like my own: I respect your space and stick closely to your dog's routine, from feeding times and walks to meds. Before I leave, I'll tidy up your home, bring in mail and packages, take out the trash, etc. So you come home to a happy dog and a house exactly as you left it.

About: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

About: I work from home, which means your pet gets something most sitters can't offer: a human who's actually there all day. I do house sitting in your home and drop-in visits across Walnut Creek and nearby areas. I grew up with dogs and cats, have helped friends and family with everything from puppies to senior dogs, and recently welcomed a cat into my own home. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving medication exactly as you instruct — including pets with special routines or medical needs. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's habits and preferences so the routine doesn't skip a beat. While you're away, you'll get regular photo updates so you can see they're relaxed and happy. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits around your pet's routine — not the other way around. For house sitting, I'm there through the day and overnight; for drop-ins, we'll lock in visit times before booking so feeding and walks stay consistent. Your home and your pet's routine stay exactly as you left them. Before we start, we'll do a meet-and-greet to cover temperament, medications, feeding, quirks, and emergency contacts. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I'll send photo updates and messages so you're never wondering how they're doing.

About: I grew up in Southern California, and my job has taken me all across the country, so I’m thrilled to finally be back home! I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always loved having animals around, so getting to spend time with your furry friend feels like a win-win. Need to run errands or head out of town for a night? Your buddy gets to tag along with me for the day! I’d be more than happy to take your pup on runs, hikes, or walks around the area and help them get plenty of exercise before settling in for a cozy night. Whether your pet loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ve cared for elderly dogs who needed extra accommodations, as well as energetic pups who needed a little more attention and activity. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very flexible and would love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I am active duty in the US Coast Guard and I work daily from 0730 - 1500. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet after work! I make sure to follow their routine and keep them as comfortable as possible by respecting their space in your home. I am happy to take them out of the house and go for walks or find ways to play in the house/backyard!

About: Welcome to Cuddles Not Cages, a calm, cat-only boarding experience in Walnut Creek. I’m Jenney, a lifelong cat lover with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for cats both personally and professionally. Since launching my boarding service in 2020, I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, with a special focus on shy, senior, and sensitive cats. I also provide attentive, low-stress care for small animals who benefit from a quiet, predictable environment. I offer private, one-household-at-a-time per space boarding in a quiet, dog-free environment. Your pet stays in a peaceful, private space with personalized care tailored to their personality and routine. There is no contact with other animals, including my own cats. Because I'm home most of the day, your cat receives consistent companionship, play, and supervision throughout the day. I send regular photo and video updates so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away. My background includes rescue work and time with local shelters and clinics across the Bay Area, including the SPCA, Joybound, Cat Town, and The Cat Hospital in Campbell. Understanding feline behavior and helping timid cats feel safe is one of my specialties. I’m happy to schedule a virtual tour or video chat to answer any questions. I board full-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me give your kitty plenty of attention throughout the day! They’ll have companionship and attention for an extended period of time like they would at home. I board exclusively cats and only one household per space (I have 3 room options). This means your kitty will have their own room to themselves in a quiet, clean environment with plenty of toys and cuddles and room to run around! They'll never been exposed to barking, dog smells or other people's cats.

I have experience training puppies and have been to many puppy training classes for my own dogs. I enjoy walking my dogs around my neighborhood and have experience walking other peoples dogs. I am a student currently so have plenty of availability! I can work around your schedule to help find a time that works best for you!

I refill their water as needed and make sure to feed them as my clients have instructed me to. I usually take my clients dogs on walks in the morning and in the evening to keep them active and stimulated. This changes per client and their dogs needs. I can give medication to my clients dogs if they have any. If grooming and hygiene is requested by clients, I can fulfill their needs (ex: brushing, bathing, drying, brushing teeth).

Courtney completed a drop-in visit for us while we were out for the evening and did an excellent job! It was so nice to know that Ernie was not home alone for too many hours and that he was able to get a potty break, fresh water, and also some extra love and attention while we were away! When we got home, he was sound asleep and very relaxed and calm. Thank you so much Courtney for doing such a great job! 🥰🐾 We really appreciate you! ❤️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Walnut Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Walnut Creek is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $50 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 12,813 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walnut Creek. 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 Walnut Creek. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
