“Natalie has been watching my kitties when I’m out of town for a few months now and she really cares about my babies. She sends pictures, follows up with care recommendations (my boy had a cut on his nose and she helped take care of it) and she genuinely cares about my cats which makes going on vacation and work trips so less stressful. I know they will be in excellent hands and taken care of. Thank you Natalie!”

About: Hello! I am an active PG resident who LOVES animals. I have a job in Carmel that I adore, but I need more dogs/cats in my life! I have a leash-trained cat who traveled the country with me for 2 years, and he’s the light of my life, but I have more love to give. I’ve been professionally/informally caring for animals my entire life. I’ve worked primarily with dogs/cats, but have also lived on several farms around the world where I cared for: donkeys, horses, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens to name a few. Raising a leash-trained cat has been an eye opening experience for me. Because of it, I’m skilled at reading an animal’s emotional state, and am often able to redirect when an unwanted behavior begins brewing. I believe in positive reinforcement, respect, and play! I have experience training both dogs and cats (yes, cats can be trained!) Some unique things I bring to the table: - 20 years of experience caring for cats. I think I’m particularly good at caring for anxious kitties, and smart/active kitties (i.e. ones that LOVE being trained). - I’m an active and strong person. I can pretty much always meet a dog’s energy needs and provide a wide variety of different exercise (rollerskating alongside them, long walks, throwing balls, tug, running around with them). - The main reason I’ve rejoined Rover is because I simply want more animals in my life! I would love to foster dogs, but my current living situation doesn’t allow for that. I LOVE when my friends go away and ask me to care for their pets, but they don’t take enough vacations! ¨̮ I work in Carmel Monday through Friday, from 9-3, so I’m available weekday mornings/evenings, and any time over the weekend! My time is a bit more limited during the week, but on Saturdays and Sundays, I would be more than happy to provide several drop-ins/walks for your pet! As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to keep your babies safe. Because I’ve been walking my cat for the past 6 years, I’ve had to learn how to read his body language, and the body language of the hundreds of dog’s we’ve interacted with. I’m by no means an expert, but I can often tell the difference between nervousness and excitement, stress and comfort, and anxiety and confidence. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement, respecting boundaries, and creating a loving relationship with animals. If your dog loves to constantly play tug, we’ll constantly play tug! If your cat is anxious and needs 30 minutes of playtime in order to feel relaxed around me, that’s what we’ll do! I love learning about an animal’s specific personality, and tailoring the kind of care I provide to exactly what they need!

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.

About: I have the most experience with various dog breeds young and old. More recently I have grown to also love and care for cats. Most of my full time experience has been with my personal dogs. Zoe, an Australian Shepard, was a shining light in my life for 14 years. Prior to Zoe I had Max, a sweet and gentle Rottweiler I was with for 6 years. For the past 4 years I've been spending a lot of time caring for the beloved pets and homes of my friends and family. I'm a retired teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do some regular volunteer work with cancer patients a few hours each week. I walk or hike daily and a furry companion would be welcome. It's one of the main reasons I signed up for Rover! I am also now on Trusted Housesitters and have experience caring for pets in client's homes. I could have a pet in my home for short visits. I live near a lovely wooded trail that dogs LOVE.

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: I grew up with animals and have always loved having them around. My family rescued two dogs and two cats when I was little, and I started dog and cat sitting for other families when I was around 12. I’ve continued pet sitting ever since and have also rescued two hamsters of my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I always try to give pets more than just the basic care they need. Whether I’m doing a drop-in, going for a walk, or having a pet stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and company. I know it can be stressful for pets when their people are away, so I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. I recently moved to Carmel and would love to connect with local pet owners and have some animals in my life again. I currently work part time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and boarding. I work part time in Carmel and have a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time throughout the week to spend caring for your pets! I treat every animal like they’re my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I’m very communicative and will send plenty of pictures and updates. If I ever have a question or concern, I’ll always reach out!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 5 years, including some that require medication. I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets along with occasional coworkers I’m currently not working a full time job so have plenty of time to spend with the pups or cats; walking, playing, any needed potty breaks. Although I cannot keep pets at my apartment, I make sure to create the safest place for any dog/cat I care for and make sure all their needs are met.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since college, starting with dog walking, house sitting, and providing care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and helping them establish good routines, as well as caring for senior dogs who may need extra attention or medication. I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, personalities, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. * I have children in the home, so I can only accept dogs that are friendly and safe around kids Being a stay a home mom, I am able to provide continuous care for your pet! Whether it be early morning walks, middle of the day potty breaks, or late night play time; I’m ready to provide loving care to your pets while you’re away.

About: Having cared for many dogs, cats and farm animals of my own and for others, I offer responsible canine care to pets and owners in Carmel. I have trained and cared for dogs and horses throughout the years. I am easygoing, yet direct in my approach to care and comfort the animals I have and host. During the week, I work part-time from home, and I am active throughout the day. I typically take morning, midday, and evening walks with my dog(s) and allow them to have free roam in the house and yard. I can offer flexibility to meet your pet's needs at my home or in yours. My home is pet-friendly, accommodating, and safe. I also have a fully fenced yard with patio, grass areas, and gardens. I make sure that food, water, treats, and play things are available at all times for all pets. I also set areas for downtime, relaxation, and naps inside and outside the house, and provide regular interaction and amusement throughout the day.

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.

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 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.

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.
