“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.”

“Maya was amazing! She took such great care of our fur baby when we were away. When I saw the photos and report I knew right away our cat was in good hands. She made sure he was loved and looked after and left the house clean. Anytime I go out of town, I plan on requesting Maya!”

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.

I appreciate that you worked out with my neighbor some extra details while we were off the grid.

She was very professional and also down to earth and easy to communicate with. She gave me confidence that I could trust her with my fur baby and she delivered with excellent care while I was away.”

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.

“Emily was a fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Charlie! She did daily drop-in visits and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for while I was away. She was very responsive via text, always kept me updated, and sent me photos of Charlie—even when he was hiding under the bed. I really appreciated that she followed my detailed instructions closely, including giving Charlie his extra food supplements. She also emptied the Litter-Robot canister and took the time to water my plants, which was such a thoughtful bonus. I felt totally at ease knowing Charlie was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!”

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.

We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!”

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.

K&Q take great care of our kitties! We would book them any time they're available. And on this past trip, they had to take care of an unfortunate ant invasion. All was well when we got home.

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! ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Walnut Creek on Rover is $29 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $50 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 12,752 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 .

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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
