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).

“Zoe did a wonderful job looking after our cat, Ozai, for 12 days. It was clear from the photos Zoe posted to us that Ozai was very content and happy to have her around. I highly recommend Zoe as a cat sitter and would definitely hire her again!”

About: Anxious pets, patience, play, and cuddles are my strengths! I've cared for neighbors and friends pets for seven years, and my own great dane and two cats keep me comfortable with every size, personality, and age. I would love to meet your pet :-) I'm a current college graduate spending time with family in southern California. Which means, with a cat of my own, I am unable to board pets but completely free to stay nights, do check-ins during the day, and go on walks! I am patient, calm, kind, and caring towards all pets. I have years of experience with pets having health issues while I care for them, which I always keep the owner 100% involved during. Whether your dog gets separation anxiety, or just has a regular medication schedule, I am qualified and always willing to give care for your furry friend!

About: my lifelong experience sets me apart from other sitters because my family would always positively recommend me to their friends. I am experienced with foster animals and pet sitting through years of helping a shelter worker and caring for her dogs. I’m attentive, reliable, and love working with all kinds of pets. I am currently working parttime as a preschool teacher but i am available on weekdays after 12. Mornings during the weekday are my only busy period. the care for pets varies depending on owners request. In the past, I have always followed clients requested bathroom and feeding schedules. if you have any questions, feel free to message or call me.

“We had a family emergency and had to travel to the east coast after adopting our new puppy. Chelsi checked in on her, played with her and made sure she felt comfortable before leaving. Chelsi was super responsive, sent photos and always made sure to check in. We appreciated her care so much and will def book her again if given the opportunity. Thank you!!”

About: I have lots of experience with senior dogs, this includes administering medication in pill form, providing gentle walks, and quiet company. I also have experience with large breed high energy dogs who require lots of exercise. As well as small dogs who just need a trot around the neighborhood. I recently moved here from Northern California and am currently going to school online while working part-time at a local restaurant. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to hangout with your fur babies! I love spending time with animals, getting outside for walks, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with them. I’d care for your pets just like I’d want someone to care for my own! I’ll stick to their usual routines, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and lots of love. I’m also happy to send photo updates! (:

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Capitan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 101 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 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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 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.
