About: I am a caring pet owner who is very attuned to animals' needs and wants. After working at a dog boarding center I gained skills with dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm currently free to work seven days per week and flexible around which hours so I think I will be the best fit for your pets around the clock. I am available for dog walking, boarding, drop in visits, and doggie daycare. I have a friendly, playful 10 year old dog named Quincy who I walk and feed in the evening, and give a weekly bath to. We also have two cats who are mostly outside cats but they both come in during the night. We have a lagoon in the backyard and plenty of sidewalks to walk near by.

“Christina came to my house to feed my cat for a few days while I was out of town. She is reliable and communicative, and an animal person. I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby knowing he would be taken care of by Christina.”

About: I grew up with dogs and know firsthand how much they become part of the family. Our beloved dogs, Bonbon and Bambii, were like siblings to me, and I loved spending time with them on walks, hikes, and playtime adventures. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, I miss that special connection and would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your furry companions. I also have experience looking after my sister's dog, Toast, and always enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I will treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and being around animals. I love starting my mornings with a walk, hike, or run, and I'm available between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM for dogs who need exercise, fresh air, and attention before the day begins. In the evenings, I enjoy going on walks after work, usually from 7:00 PM onward. This gives me dedicated time to focus on your pet, whether that means a relaxing walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Having grown up with dogs and caring for my sister's dog, Toast, I understand that pets thrive on consistency, affection, and quality time. Caring for pets doesn't feel like a chore to me, it's something I genuinely look forward to and enjoy incorporating into my weekly routine.🐶🤍 When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings.

About: Although I have never owned a dog myself, I have several years of experience caring for family dogs. My sister has had a dog since 2016, and my mom got a dog in 2023. I regularly help care for them when my family is out of town, including feeding them on schedule, providing fresh food and water, taking them on walks, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. While I do not have extensive pet-sitting experience, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them with patience, love, and responsibility. I would be grateful for the opportunity to care for your furry friend and appreciate the trust you place in me. I am a full-time student during the weekdays and a mom to a 6 six year old girl who also loves dogs. I am available in the evenings to take your dog on a walk. I am also available anytime on the weekend to board your pup or to take them for walks. I make sure dogs are safe and comfortable while in my home and I let them lead their walks. I keep them on a secure leash at all times, pay attention to their surroundings, allow them time to sniff and explore, and make sure they release enough energy without getting them overtired.

“Elizabeth took care of my old cat, Alfie, who has aches and pains that need to be managed with medication. Alfie can be a bit grumpy, and is usually shy of other people. We were gone for a week, and it was great to know I could rely on Elizabeth to take care of Alfie's regular needs, as well as administering his medication. Elizabeth kept in communication with me, and sent pictures daily. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone else looking for a cat sitter.”

About: I have had cats since I was 2, they are amazing. I give my cat medication everyday. I may not have a dog but I wish I did. I love being with dogs and going on their “sniff walks”. I am currently in college right now as a second year. I have a fair amount of free time. I am free all weekend, when not at home. At my home I have a fully fenced backyard. At your house, I will follow the directions you give me to a tea, to give everyone peace of mind. 🙂

“Pat was an incredible help for my family! Pat helped with drop in visits to take care of my cat while my husband and I were in the hospital to give birth to our baby! Pat was flexible and understanding of the schedule changes, and most importantly she gave us a peace of mind — her updates and pictures of my cat Risa showed clearly that even though we had to leave her for almost a week, she was doing great and I didn’t need to stress! All of that in an extremely bad heatwave — Pat made sure to turn on fans and bring Risa to a room with AC on. Pat also made sure to text both my husband and me on Rover, so we both could get the updates. She checked in on us too, which we appreciated! In the few days that Pat helped us we felt like we had a trustworthy and caring friend and that something that is so rare to find! Thank you, Pat!”

About: I grew up with my Australian Shepherd, who was part of my family my entire life, and I helped care for her throughout her senior years. I now have my own cat, Emerald, and my family recently welcomed a terrier puppy named Edna. I also have experience caring for friends’ cats, as well as a neighbor’s and family friend’s Chihuahua and a family’s Golden Retriever. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including pets with different personalities and energy levels. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in providing the same loving care I would want for my own pets. I’ll be leaving my medical assistant position as I prepare to start PA school next year, so I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I’m able to spend quality time with pets rather than simply stopping by, and I’m happy to work around their individual routines and needs. I’m excited to use this time before PA school doing something I genuinely love! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands!

This was our first time using Rover, and Daisy made it such a great experience! She arrived promptly and on time, sent a text when she arrived, and even shared a picture of our happy dog playing in the backyard. It was so reassuring to know our dog was in good hands and having a wonderful time. Thank you, Daisy, for being reliable, thoughtful, and providing such excellent service. You made our first Rover experience a positive one, and we would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, dependable dog care!

Susan was wonderful! She was new to Mustard Christopher (my cat) and me. I had a 10-day out of country trip. She came over for our initial meeting a few weeks before when I was trying to get cat care lined up, then again a few days before my trip to pick up the key and review his care plan again. Mustard was curious about her immediately and clearly took to her by the time she left those first two visits. I really appreciated that she made both visits before to learn him and his routine and give him time to get to know her a bit. I think it helped smooth the transition while I was traveling. While on my trip she gave me daily reports through the app, shared photos daily and a nice reassuring message that he was eating and drinking well (potentially a bit of an issue for him) and having fun playing with toys during their visits. This gave me huge peace of mind. I will definitely book with Susan again- Mustard Christopher loves hanging out with her and he’d love to do it again!

Michelle is an absolutely amazing cat sitter. I have two boy ragdoll cats and they absolutely adored her. They literally waited at the door for her to arrive. She’s so sweet with them and she has such an amazing attention to detail. She’s also extremely communicative and followed all my boy’s particular idiosyncrasies on their diets and gave them so much love. I highly recommend Michelle and anytime in the future if I need a cat sitter I really hope she’ll be available as she is fantastic!

Amy was great! We knew as soon as our girls met Amy during our initial visit. Usually, they’re a little standoffish and suspicious. Amy knew how to connect and help them feel safe and in control right away. Since this was A Amy’s first time with us, we appreciated her reaching out for clarification if she wasn’t sure about something and reporting on how the girls were doing during each visit. Thank you, Amy!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bel Marin Keys

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.
