“We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Marla dropped in daily for our three cats while we were away. She followed our feeding instructions (our cats eat different food) and litter instruction to the letter, sent fun photos and daily updates with each visit, and our cats were relaxed and happy when we walked through the door. We would rebook with Marla in a heartbeat.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also had my own cat for 12 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs and puppies, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat them with the same patience, love, and care that I give my own. 🐾 I’m available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. Weekday visits are best scheduled after 3 PM. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me additional availability for daytime visits on those Fridays. I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet! I’ll always treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I carefully follow feeding, medication, litter, walking, and household instructions and make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life and have never lived without an animal. Over the years I’ve cared for everything from high-drive working breeds to tiny Chihuahuas, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently have a 4-month-old Belgian Malinois that I’m training for PSA and a 7-year-old Malinois who is our calm, steady family dog. I also have five rescue cats—some came to us with health issues that we nursed back to health, and others simply stole our hearts and never left. This mix has given me plenty of hands-on experience with everything from high-energy training and enrichment to medication, special diets, and gentle care for animals who need a little extra TLC. As an empty nester, I now have the time and energy to give other people’s pets the same attentive, loving care I’ve always given my own. Whether it’s a playful walk, structured enrichment, or quiet companionship, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I work from home Monday–Friday, 7–4, and am available all day on weekends. I’m flexible for early morning and evening check-ins and walks. I love staying active and out and about, which makes dog walking a perfect fit. I have a securely fenced yard that’s perfect for potty breaks and supervised play. My two friendly, active dogs are great with other dogs and love company, so your pet will always have a safe, engaging environment and plenty of attention.

About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

About: As a former veterinary assistant with five years of hands-on experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My background has given me the skills to recognize changes in behavior, handle pets safely and confidently, and provide compassionate care—even for anxious or special-needs animals. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of love, patience, and attention on every walk. Currently I work full time but I’m looking for a side hustle. I’m open to checking in on your pets after 5pm Mon-Fri if needed and I’m off on weekends so I can be available all weekend. I provide reliable in-home pet care by following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and keeping their living area clean while you’re away.

About: When you want someone who does much more than the bare minimum, that’s where I come in. Pets can have a difficult time when you’re gone. They’re nervous about having someone else in the house and they miss you. Having someone there who truly cares about what your pets may need in order to have as much peace as possible until your home matters. Do they feel more comfortable with my hand coming from the side or the back when they’re pet? I’ll find out! Do they feel more comfortable with me in a certain line of site until they get to know me a bit? I’ll find out what that is! Their favorite toy? What makes them anxious? What makes them happy? I’ll find it! I bring a patient, calm and playful energy to bring as much comfort as I can. Pet care is my full time job right now! I have the availability I need so your pet isn’t lonely! It helps with bathroom needs and an overall homey environment. This is dependent on what each client and pets need. I’m versatile, and open to individual needs. I do more than take them to the bathroom and feed them. I like to make sure they feel loved and comforted and each pet has their own way that they experience that.

About: We have a 13 year old Golden Chow who is part of our family. We have taken care of her since she was 3 months old and treat her like one of our kids. We love hosting other dogs who quickly become an extension of our family. We enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them in our fully fenced in backyard and giving lots of cuddles. Our children know how to approach dogs and respect the dogs' boundaries. We can't wait to meet you and your pup! My wife stays home full time with our children and is able to care for your dog around the clock. We generally take the dogs for a walk twice a day and allow frequent potty breaks in our backyard. We have a fenced in yard in which your dog can roam around safely. Your dog will be able to either play outside or inside. We have a designated indoor space for your dog to sleep; just provide the bed and/or blankets to keep your pup comfortable. We generally only take one dog at a time. However, we will make exceptions from time to time and will let you know if we will be boarding more than one during your requested time.

“She had amazing customer service! Unfortunately my pupper had burned his paws so I was very nervous with leaving him with a sitter but she took amazing care of him, kept me up to date about everything. Xander wasn’t really able to walk when she picked him up and by the time he came back he was running and playing. I really appreciated her. She is a true animal lover and I was very lucky to find her. I definitely will be using her again :)”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them! I have 3+ years of professional dog grooming experience, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also work with animals every day, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I have two dogs of my own, and my home has always had a dog in it. I’m reliable, patient, and consistent, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like one of my own! I am currently a full time dog groomer, working 9-5, Friday-Tuesday. I am able to check in with your pup at least twice a day. Before and after work. For any type of visit, I’m happy to tailor the time to your pup’s needs! We can go on a 30-minute walk, play some fun games, enjoy some cuddles, or just relax together. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a more laid-back visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. 🐾 At my home, I have a decent-sized fenced backyard with turf where pups can safely enjoy some outdoor playtime. If your pup is high-energy, we can spend time outside playing and getting some exercise. If they’re more relaxed, they’re welcome to stay inside, cuddle up, and chill. For visits at your home, I can take your pup on a walk, play games, give them plenty of attention, or simply hang out with them depending on their energy level and what they enjoy most. My goal is to make every visit fun, comfortable, and tailored to your pup’s needs! 🐾

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Marla took amazing care of our cats for 10 days, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly and was very responsive throughout our trip. Most importantly, our cats absolutely loved her! They were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came home. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We highly recommend her and would absolutely have her care for our cats again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Alpine Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
