“Took great care of my little Ralphie! She took care and kept me constantly updated with how things were going. Diligently showed up at the times I needed for Ralphie. I would certainly use Katie again should I need her to watch my cat.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets for many years! All types of animals as well. I have taken care of high energy dogs like Huskies, and Belgian Malinois. I also have grown up with dogs that can be aggressive and dogs with anxiety. I can administer medication, take them for long walks and play with them thoroughly. I’m working full time but a flexible schedule. I’m usually working mid day with an hour break. And I can adjust my schedule with notice in advance to work around your pets needs. I will gladly play with your pets in a backyard, take them for long walks, play with them inside etc. My pets are like my kids and I will treat yours as such!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets since I was born! I have experience taking care of neighbor’s pets overnight, and love going for long walks with furry friends. I’m currently training for a 10k, so if your puppy likes to run, I’m happy to take them along with me! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and currently have four large dogs in my family home that I grew up with. I have experience in giving medications to senior dogs, as well as providing comfort care. I also have experience caring for rabbits, as I had one as a pet for 8 years. I currently work as a graduate student at FSU, and have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies! I am also available all day on weekends, including Fridays, for pets that prefer someone constantly home. I love going for long walks around Tallahassee, so dogs with lots of energy would fit perfectly with that. I also enjoy lounging around and taking short strolls if your pet is more low-energy. I can crate a dog if necessary, and am not stranger to animals with strange dietary needs (my own dogs are extremely picky eaters). I have experience giving medications to dogs, cats, and rabbits as well.

About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I occasionally work in afternoons, sometimes in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.

About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.

About: I’ve grown up with pets. My parents also used to be breeders. I’ve watched pets. I have a bunch of pets. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve been around pets. I’ve changed pets specifically I’ve had between one dog to six at a time. I’m very used to cats and dogs. Pet care I do it every single day when I get home from school like washing our dogs weekly, feeding them and doing just things on a weekly monthly or daily scheduled based on each of our pets needs and what animal it is. Like if it is our cats, dogs, or our turtle I treat all animals with care as if they’re like children. I think it’s very important to treat animals with care or like they’re another human because they cannot communicate and I believe showing trust in an animal is extremely important. I will always have treats on me just in case All of the pets in my home experience constant love and they’re always around people and very social.

About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕‍🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s drop-ins or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space. I have a flexible work schedule and plenty of time for pet care. I also go on lots of walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! 🐕‍🦺🌳 When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. 🏡 I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite spots for walks or naps. I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have 2 sweet pups of my own and their names are Nala (Corgi mix) and Lois (Jack Russell mix). Dogs make me so happy! I've had extensive experience staying overnight to stay with dogs, walking dogs and hosting guest dogs into my home. I'd love to meet your furry friend! I work as an Uber drive part time so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am happy to work around what your needs are and I'm generally free on most weekends as well. I have a fenced grass backyard with room for the puppers to roam around. I want to take every opportunity to have your dog feel safe and comfortable with my own dogs. I would never leave the dogs alone if I wasn't confident they would get along. I always love meeting new dogs and learning about their unique personalities!

About: I've cared for furry friends since I could walk. My family raised me in an environment where caring for animals was a form of education, and one I'm happy to share every day. I own a business that operates in a seasonal fashion. This affords me the opportunity to be available where most aren't. Whether that be for day visits and walks, or night time check ins. My home is great for dogs. My old boy loves company. He's very gentle. I have access to walking trails as well. I am happy to accommodate for kennel trained or non-kennel trained.

About: One of my biggest joys in life are animals. Every chance I get, I look after the pets of family and friends. I have been watching my grandmas 2 dogs when they go out of town for about 2 years. I have friends who ask me regularly to look after their furry friends for days to weeks at a time. Ive dealt with puppies, animals in need of medication, and non-Potty trained animals. I have stayed night at houses or just stopped by regularly depending on what you prefer. I have worked with pit bulls down to chihuahua's. Aside from just pets I also volunteer at a horse rescue which had an abundance of animals and i have learned a great amount from that experience. Not to mention I have 6 animals of my own (4 cats, 2 dogs) whom I love dearly. I currently work Part-Time at ALDI as a Store Associate. We stay relatively overstaffed therefore i get a maximum of 20 hours a week, leaving me with plenty of time with your pets! Safety is always number one when it comes to all pets im responsible for. I prioritize the wellbeing an an animal as i do myself. For example, At my house we have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play but when my dog was a puppy, she would jump the fence. Therefore i would prioritize letting her out with a leash in the back yard to prevent her from getting harmed off our property.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for fur babies for 13+ years—from raising my own fur babies to caring for friends’, family’s, and now clients’ pets! I own a cute bunny loaf named Hazel, as you can see in my profile picture. I’ve worked in an animal clinic and as a dog trainer, so I’m trained in reading pet body language, giving meds, and even stopping those surprise pet squabbles. Whether it’s a zoomie-filled pup or a chill senior, a lazy cat or a bouncy kitty, I’ve got the magic touch. I work full-time during the day Monday - Friday, but I’m available in the evenings after 5pm for fun walks and drop-in visits after work. Weekends are when I have the most time, so your pets can enjoy extra attention, playtime, and care. My schedule is perfect for evening strolls, belly rubs, and plenty of weekend cuddles! Think of me as your pet’s stand-in bestie while you’re away. I’ll stick to their normal routine—meals on time, walks, playtime, belly rubs, and even those dramatic “treat negotiations.” I keep things calm, safe, and cozy, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I give your fur baby. Expect photo updates so you can see all the cuteness (and maybe a few goofy moments) while you’re gone.

About: I've worked at a few different animal hospitals as a kennel tech and receptionist. I grew up having lots of dogs and kitties. We also have a small family farm. We grew up taking care of goats, chickens, turkeys and any other farm bird you can think of. I've trained a few of my past dogs growing up. I also have experience giving animals meds, bathing, nail cutting and I love going on walks! Always respectful of your home and your pets and I have great references to back that up! :) I hope you pick me to care for your fur babies! I work in an office, Monday - Friday, from 8am to 5pm. I am free weekends. I’m a homebody that enjoys crafting, watching movies and hanging with the animals. While I’m with your animal, I try to show them a lot of love and care because I know the stress it can cause when your pet is away from its owner. So I try to be extra caring and like to give a few extra treats and cuddles while you are away.

She was absolutely amazing! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and really cares about them. She was incredibly detail-oriented with all of my pet care instructions. She even came over a few days before the booking to go through everything with me, and then came back again the day before I left just to make sure she had everything right. She took photos and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, she gave my fur baby so much love and attention when I couldn’t be there. I’m so grateful to have found her! From now on, whenever I travel, I know I can leave home without worrying. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Capitola

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 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.

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 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.
