“MacKenzie took good care of my cats and dropped in every day right on schedule. She played with my really social cat and took nice pictures of her. Not sure if she ever saw my shy cat. 😂”
About: Hi there! I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My parents weren't able to be the primary caregivers for our family dog and I was thrilled to take the lead anyway. I would feed, walk, bathe, and groom our first dog and I've never been without a dog in the past three decades. Now today I have an active 10 year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian named Tommy and a 15 year old Pomeranian named Stella, so I'm especially comfortable with small breeds and senior dogs who need a slower pace or just more patience in general. But I'm just as happy with dogs of most sizes and energy levels. I also have experience with administering medication of all types - liquid, pills, and eye drops. My schedule is flexible because I'm self employed. I can work around early mornings, midday drop ins, evenings, or last minute requests. Every walk and visit comes with an update and pics. I know how reassuring it is to get these things when someone else is caring for your sweet pup. I treat every dog the way I'd want my own treated: on time, attentive and loving, and never rushed. I look forward to meeting your pup(s) and giving you the help you need! My schedule is super flexible. I'm self employed, married no kids, and usually up by 8 am most days although I can plan to be up earlier when needed. All this said to assure you I have ample time to walk and play with your pups, and no distractions that would divert my attention either. I'm pretty active and regularly go on runs and hikes in addition to regular walks with my own pups. I can keep up with your pups, no problem. As for drop ins, I'm respectful of personal space and you can trust me to be in your home. Please share anything specific your pups needs or may want during a visit and I'll be happy to help (within reason of course).
About: It’s so important to give the kind of trust, communication, and care possible when taking care of someone’s pets or home. When someone lets you into their personal life by letting you and taking care of their animals and home, that is a very special and important thing that resonates with someone. And I’ve always been a firm believer that proof never stops proving. And continuously proving to someone that they can trust you in all walks of life is key. I have flown out to Colorado on a couple vacations to take home and pet sit for someone. That’s the kind of trust others have in me, and the values that I hold true to. From taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, birds, horses, and even lamas, in the end they are living breathing beings that deserve the proper respect and care that one can give to them. I spent two years working online for Takis Shelter, which is an animal shelter located on the Greek island of Crete. I very much recommend checking out their shelter’s videos on Facebook and YouTube to see what they do. I’m definitely proud to have been a part of their operation. Over the years, I have also watched over people‘s properties. Like an on-call property manager. So if someone is out of town or they need something done right away, they know they can confide in me to get the job done. In addition to pet sitting and home care, I have also done babysitting over the years as well. Every day I help take care of my mom‘s dog. I also provide any help that my friend needs for me for her cats and when she is at work. When it comes down to taking care of someone’s pets, I always wants to know how they do things in particular. Because routine can be important for an animal, especially when it comes down to an eating and walking schedule. Having a clean environment for both dogs and cats is very important too so I always make sure to make their environment as healthy , comfortable, and stress free as possible.
“She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.”
About: Hi there, I’m Jess! I’m a Santa Barbara local with 8 years of pet sitting experience and worked at a local vets office for 4 of those years where I gained experience with administering medications. I have sat dogs of all sizes, cats, and even birds! Your pets will be in caring, experienced hands - no matter their size or species! My devotion to pet care is easily incorporated into my daily schedule as a committed full-time student. To make sure I have enough time for good pet care, I place a high priority on organized study sessions. I will schedule daily walks, playtime, and feedings so that your pets will get the love, care, and company they deserve! I am willing and able to follow any special needs that your pet might have, I have plenty of experience administering medications, and dealing with operation anxiety. I enjoy sending photos and videos to pet parents as updates. I adapt to their familiar surroundings, maintaining routines and offering companionship. Rest assured, I'm committed to creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience tailored to your pet's unique needs.
About: I’ve cared for my family’s dogs for years, handling feeding, daily walks, grooming, and play. I’m comfortable walking multiple small to medium dogs and providing loving, attentive care. I’m currently on sabbatical until Jan 5, 2026, which means I’m fully available every day for drop-in visits, house sitting, dog walks, cat care, and more. Including cat walks for the adventurous felines! ~ After Jan 5 my daytime availability will change due to work schedule. In a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and cared for by sticking to their usual routine whenever possible. I provide fresh food and water, ensure clean litter boxes or let dogs out as needed, and give plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I treat each pet like my own—respecting their space, needs, and personality—while keeping the home tidy and secure.
About: Ever since I was little I’ve been taking care of my dogs. I’ve helped train my 4 dogs at home to sit, and other commands. I also have experience with disabled and special needs animals. I’m a part time student so I have lots of free time to help take care of your animals and give them the attention and care they need. I would make sure to consider all your needs and be respectful of your wishes and boundaries! Communication is very important to me so just let me know what I can do to make sure your needs are met!
“Ryan was amazing! It was so nice to go out of town knowing that my cat was getting probably more attention than I give him when I'm at home! I recently moved into the area and I was nervous about finding a pet sitter with short notice. Ryan worked hard to win over my shy boy and they were best buddies in less than a day or two! I received dozens of photos a day. Ryan did all sorts of "beyond the call of duty" items, as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan to take care of your fur baby. I know who I will contact next time I have plans to go out of town!”
“Delightful! Our cats are pretty shy so we weren't expecting much but Dayna was able to get pictures of them without a problem. She was very flexible and made us feel much better about being away from our pets for a week. Definitely at the top of our list for next time!”
“Erin is wonderful! She took care of our little Cat fur babies when we were away, making sure that they were well fed, clean and loved. One of the cats is a bit more reserved, but when he first met Erin, he instantly bonded with her. Erin was punctual everyday, quick to provide us with updates and even sent us pictures of the babies. She even went the extra mile to wheel our trash bin in after collection day! How sweet! Thank you Erin for being so great and loving our babies, and hope that you would be available next time when we take another short trip.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 358 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Capitan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
