For many years I babysat children and cared for pets simultaneously. I was raised in an animal loving family, most nights I had a dog at the foot of my bed or a cat underneath it. I understand that pets are family and no one knows your pet like you. I am detail oriented and high energy. I’m am currently a student at Cal Poly Humboldt. I am a child development major. I took a step back from my work with early education to finish a few core classes. This makes my schedule quite open! I have a fully fenced yard with an extra high fence. It is mostly grass with small concrete pathway. I am never in school longer than 3 hours. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood.

I would be conducting care at your home or neighborhood if walking, since my rental does not allow animals. I can do overnights at your place and drop in visits with feedings as long as it’s done before 8am and after 5pm M-F, weekends I don’t have a time restraints.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine heart, deep responsibility, and detail oriented focus I bring to caring for your beloved pets and home. I treat every animal like family, whether guiding energetic puppies, providing gentle, patient senior dog care, comforting cozy cats, or tending to sweet small critters of all kinds. My background across diverse, fast-paced roles has made me inherently organized, proactive, and exceptionally attentive to detail. You can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing that I think through every single step from maintaining your pet’s exact daily routine to ensuring your doors, windows, and gates are double checked, locked, and fully secure. I take pride in providing reliable, loving attention customized to your pet’s unique personality while treating your sanctuary with total respect. With frequent photo updates and clear communication, I offer top tier care, safety, and heartfelt affection so you can be away without worry. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which leaves my weekends completely open for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. Having used Rover myself while traveling, I know firsthand how vital it is to have a safe, dependable person to care for your pets, especially critters who get stressed when traveling and away from home. I love being able to support my community, give owners total peace of mind, and build lifelong bonds with sweet furry friends and their families. While in a client's home, my top priority is keeping your pet's routine consistent, safe, and stress free.

I treat your home with the utmost respect always double-checking that doors, windows, and gates are fully locked and secure before leaving. From fresh water and clean litter boxes to daily photo updates, I ensure your pets stay happy in their comfortable environment while giving you total peace of mind.
About: I have had 5 dogs in my lifetime, and taken care of sheep, chickens, fishponds, etc. while growing up on a farm. I have experience in training our 3 hunting dogs with my Dad so I also have experience in shaping puppies behavior and intelligence during their young years. I also manage feeding and caring for the farm animals alone while my parents are away so I am able to take care of various levels of care and routines per specific animal on my own! Doesn’t hurt that I am also an animal lover and thoroughly enjoy everything that has to do with pet care and companionship :) I can work pet care into any time or day and I am thoroughly flexible! I would say the only thing I would request is enough time beforehand to plan my day. So I would say at least 12 hours before I would need to begin care. I would care for the animals by allowing ample play time/ walking time on a leash, as well as making sure they are in a safe and enclosed area if at any point I am not with them for the moment. (ex.bathroom break). I would also ensure that the clients requests be at utmost importance and follow those rules specifically.
About: I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, and my boyfriend who I live with has had dogs his whole life. We love dogs of all size and ages and hope to adopt more in the future. I (Rebekah) will be who is primarily with your pup! I work 8:30-5 M-F, but am available to let your dog out for a potty break on my lunch and spend the rest of my time outside of work with them! I love to cuddle with pups while reading a book, as well as taking them on walks and playing with them with their toys! I strive to make the dogs feel comfortable with me, as I’m sure they get confused with a new person in their house. I try to keep their daily routine as similar to what they’re used to!
“We are always so appreciative of Bailey’s time and feel relieved knowing our cats are in good hands with her! She is a caring and attentive Rover and we highly recommend her services. Thank you Bailey!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter and Zalie was awesome. We have two dogs, one is nervous around people and she was very cautious of her space. It was piece of mind knowing our dogs were in good care. She was very attentive and active in checking in and the overall process. We definitely recommend Zalie and we look forward to having her for future visits.”
“Melissa was great! She followed through and communicated very well upon each visit with comments and photos. My cat runs away from strangers, and upon meeting him, she immediately sat down to appear less threatening. He stopped and watched her. She is adaptable and intuitively knows how to be with animals.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Bayside is $25

Jackie has been so great with my shy girl! I work long shifts and have so appreciated knowing she’s getting some fresh air and love on the days I have to be away. Jackie has shown up consistently, sending me little photos and updates every day that’s she’s stopped by. We’re lucky to have found her!
My cat is on the shyer side, but Jade was able to coax her out of her hiding spot and give her some attention which was great and definitely made me feel less guilty about leaving her for the weekend! I really appreciated how communicate Jade was, and the updates/pictures they sent when checking on my cat. I will be booking with Jade again!
Liv was incredible and our girls loved her!! One of our kitties is elderly and has some incontinence issues but Liv was super communicative, patient, and up for the extra care. She made sure they had plenty of cuddles and attention in addition to their other necessities. We loved all the updates and photo that were sent as well. Our home and kitties were in great shape upon our return thanks to her!!! Would 100% rebook in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bayside is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 206 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bayside. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
