About: I am an experienced animal caretaker for pets with a wide range of needs. I had my own cat that later in life needed subcutaneous fluids, pills, and shots so I am experienced with the trickery of loving care while an animal is in a difficult situation. I have had my own high energy dog who needed a high level of engagement for the first six years of her life while also training through leash reactivity and fear behaviors. With clients I take care to listen to what will make the pet happy and the human(s) happy. My goal is that the guardian will rest assured when your pet is in my care. I am freelancing so I can offer a flexible schedule for your pet care needs. My own dog gets and early morning walk then an afternoon as adventure. She's happy to be flexible for my gigs and open to sharing if that's an option for you once I know your dog well. I have a number of local spots where I enjoy visiting. This area is rich with places to sniff and explore and I look forward to doing so with your pet! I have the option of a crate and personal room for your pet to stay with all the amenities for fun safe pet time

About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities and needs. I love spending time with cats, whether that means playing, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company :) I also have experience walking and pet-sitting dogs of different ages and personalities. I volunteer with Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, which has given me even more experience interacting with dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I work from home so have a flexible schedule to check in on your cat(s) or dog(s) and take your furry friends for a walk! I am very active and love to be outside, so would love to get some fresh air with your pet. I will make sure to keep your pets safe and ensure that they’re kept on their leash for walks and in their safe space at their home.

About: The more convenient way to say my name as Constantine. I am from Ukraine, I and my wife moved to Monterey in the beginning of 2025.I have a great Canadian Sphynx. I prefer to set up not the highest rate, so you can fairly evaluate my service and encourage by additional tips, which will be the great sign of providing the services you was satisfied with. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since early childhood, which helped me naturally understand their behavior, needs, and personalities. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, including large breeds over 100 pounds, as well as smaller dogs. I focus on creating a calm, respectful, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, but in the same time I love to provide them appropriate activities.I prefer to be patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s temperament and routine.I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I’m available during weekday evenings and have full availability on weekends. I plan my time around feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so pets receive consistent attention and care. On weekends, I can fully focus on pets throughout the day, providing companionship, supervision, and a calm, comfortable environment. I care for pets the same way I would want someone to care for my own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe. I keep the space calm, clean, and secure, always supervise pets, and make sure they get attention, affection, and proper care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and focus on creating a stress-free environment for their pet.

“I was visiting the area, camping, and wanted to go to the aquarium, but forgot we were travelling with a cat. I hurried up and got on Rover and Teresa accepted my very last minute request. Not only that, but she went above and beyond in other ways that made my day so much easier and worry free. She had great concern for my cat, sent pics, and even made him a safe space when he was hiding under the couch. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up helping friends, family and neighbors with their cats and dogs. I have taken care of small dogs and big dogs alike. I have experience with senior dogs who need more love than activity. I provide care for your furry loves based on their needs and your expectations. I’m all about quality time, snuggles and walks. Bring them to Auntie Danae for the day. You can enjoy your free time or run errands while your furry love is in the best care. 💜🐾 I work full time, and am remote on Thursdays and Fridays. I have ample time available on the weekends to provide support for your furry friend. I allow my pets on the couch, but they have multiple beds to choose from. They have access to water and are secured in the apartment. We only take walks on leash, and I have a gate to keep them secure if the front door needs to be opened. If a client requires a crate for their pet, they will need to bring it.

About: Hi! I'm a Marine Corps Officer currently attending the Naval Postgraduate School and living in Pacific Grove. Caring for others, whether people or pets, has been a core part of my life and career. I've had animals my entire life, including both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I've taken care of old and young pets all my life! Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a dependable person to keep them safe and comfortable, I take that responsibility seriously. As a military officer for the past five years, I've built my career on discipline, integrity, accountability, and attention to detail. When you trust me with your pet, you can expect clear communication, reliability, and the peace of mind that they will be cared for as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I work hard to earn it. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available before 9:30 am daily except Thursdays! I am also available after 3 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Saturdays be Sundays are all day availability depending on weekend activities! I’ve been in the military for nearly five years and am very courteous of others belongings and homes. I have extremely strong foundations in integrity, honesty, and good characters from this military background and I hope you feel a safe and trustworthy comfort when working with me!

Sara was great. She charmed my two friendliest kitties and by the end my skittish one wasn’t running every time she visited. It was the first time I’ve ever had a non-family member watch my babies and I was super pleased. So grateful for the phots and videos and for the efforts put into putting eyes on all three of my little heathens. Would highly recommend Sara and would be happy to use again as the herd arises in the future.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Carmel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carmel is $40 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 180 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carmel. 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 Carmel. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
