About: I am on Rover to be able to serve my community in the form of pet-care! Pets are such an integral and special part of our lives and owners deserve to know their pets will be well taken care of. I grew up with cats but I love dogs equally. I would be honored to love on your little family member when you need! I am typically available early in the morning before work and then after 4pm, depending on the day. Somewhat flexible schedule pertaining to days needed. I am mindful to read all instructions left by owners. Depending on desires of the owner, I am happy to walk, play with, or just keep your little baby company!

About: I’ve done a lot of dog walking for my neighbors when I was in highschool for money because everyone knew I loved dogs and would do it. I’ve never done this professionally before but I have a dog and almost all dogs can sense my love for them and typically love me. I’m very active and can walk for hours so I can do walks of any length necessary. I have a lot of time in between classes and on the weekends where I don’t have much to do and could definitely handle some walks or check ins. Big animal lover and empath here who will care for your pet like it is my own I can promise that. I have always been more empathetic toward animals honestly than humans.

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.

About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Berenisse and I’m a Certified Basic Obedience Dog Trainer based in Buellton, CA. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and what started as a hobby has grown into my true passion. I bring a well-rounded background to pet care and training. I’ve worked as a vet tech and as a dog trainer’s assistant, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have some experience in dog agility training, which I love incorporating for fun and exercise when appropriate. My approach to training and care is rooted in positive reinforcement—building trust, respect, and clear communication with every dog. I believe all dogs deserve patience, love, and encouragement, and I enjoy tailoring my care to meet each pup’s unique needs. I’m also very active, so whether your dog needs structured training, a playful walk, or an energetic workout buddy, I’m happy to be there for them. More than anything, I truly understand how much dogs enrich our lives—and I treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐾 Loving care, respectful training, and lots of tail wags guaranteed! Most of the time I work from home, I do drive around some days and when I am caring for dogs I try to incorporate car rides, physical and mental activity to keep them happy, healthy and to provide a positive experience. They get constant walks, the dog park is a couple blocks away from my house and I do take advantage of that to make sure they get their daily physical and mental estimulation.

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: 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.

I provide individualized and attentive care for your fur babies. I’m dedicated to ensuring your dogs wellbeing while you are away - that means attention, playtime, exercise, feeding, and practicing commands. This is my primary work and my schedule is dedicated first and foremost to pet care. I do not have any pets of my own and do not board more than one dog (or a preexisting pack of dogs) at a time. I am happy to crate your dog if your prefer. I do not have a yard but guarantee numerous walks of varying distance and length, depending on your dog”s needs.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and crate training, and I’m also experienced in providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets—including administering medications, helping them move around comfortably, and sticking to special diets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also volunteer at the shelter so i’m comfortable taking care of dogs big or small along with any special care requirements they have :) I work part time but have a very open schedule! Pet care naturally fits into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. Their well-being is always a priority, and I’m flexible with my schedule to accommodate their needs. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a clean environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also provide updates to help build trust and peace of mind.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for family friends since I was five years old and the designated dog sitter with my friends.

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and love all animals—big and small! I recently moved to Santa Barbara for work and am excited to start petsitting here. For over ten years, I’ve been caring for other people’s pets, always making sure their pets are treated with lots of love. I have worked with animals of all ages from puppies to older animals, even have put on doggy diapers! I have also worked with animals with different behavioral problems or those that have medications. I love all animals and also have experience with cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I am happy to keep your animal with whatever routine they have to make them as comfortable as possible. One of my favorite parts of Santa Barbara is all of the trails and would love to take your pup on some adventures (with your approval of course). I have my own australian cattle dog if you’d want your pup to have a play date. Otherwise lots of walks if that’s something that your pup is interested in too! I’ll be sure to treat your special pets with lots of love when you’re away! :) I recently moved to Goleta to start a job at a nonprofit. I work from home two days a week and can let your dog out at lunch as needed. I prioritize making your pet feels comfortable when you’re away and I hope to keep their routine as best as I can. I also respect anything that you wish me to follow. I’m also happy to help water plants or take out the trash when watching your pet.

About: I raised a beagle puppy when I was in highschool and it was the most rewarding (sometimes insufferable) experience! I have always been the one to call when my friends go on trips and need someone to watch their pets. I have walked all kinds of dogs for friends family and neighbors throughout my life. Anyone who knows me knows nothing makes me happier than being around animals! As of right now I have most of the time in the afternoons and at night for walking or sitting. If I need to come by early in the morning to feed I am willing to as well! I trained my own dog to sleep in the crate and therefore can take care of that with your pet! I love to walk and would be happy to play outside with them whenever I can.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 333 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Capitan. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
