“Kaitlyn was FANTASTIC with Tillie Jane. We were staying on the peninsula for a month and she was able to meet us all first prior to the multiple dates that we needed help. She was always on time, left us great pictures and notes of Tillie and stayed for the duration. Tillie was always happy when we arrived back home. We are thrilled to have someone to use each time we visit Carmel!”

About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.
“Haley was a fantastic choice in caring for my cat. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was eating, as change, me going on vaca, can be tough on my kitty. Haley responds quickly to messages and made me feel at ease with pictures and updates!”
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’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: 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: I have been working with dogs since I was 10 years old and started 4-H, I have shown dogs trained them and worked with animals my entire life. I worked for a breeder and helped care for a litter of 6 from birth to 8 weeks. Caring for animals is important to me and I want to create trusting relationships with my clients so they know their pet is in the best hands as I know I only wanted the same for my own pups. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Because I create my own work hours, I’m able to plan my days around pet care and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or overnight care, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets in my client’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while their owners are away. I prioritize feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication instructions, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home respectfully and provide regular updates so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine compassion.
“We were so lucky to find Jade! She is so kind, responsible with a big heart for animals and the only person we feel comfortable to leave our dogs and bunnies with. Jade shared a lot of updates and always was in contact if we had any questions!”

About: I have grown up as the eldest of three siblings and the owner of pet seahorses, hamsters, dogs, and bunnies. Caregiving is second nature to me. I am alert and patient and this job fits in really well for me as a college student. I love making connections with new families, being outside, and being around animals. I am a college student, so I only have class for a few hours a day. Other than that, I would love to spend my time outside helping others with their pets. It keeps both of us active and busy :) I love to spend my time outside, so you can expect a lot of walks and yard time. My house has a big yard and lots of space to play or relax
About: I am very experienced in taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Love teaching dogs new tricks. I have a highly active lifestyle and I will exercise your dog as much or however you want (walk, run, dog park, etc.). I guarantee they will be ready for a nap when you get them back! Your dog is welcome in my home and will be treated like family. They will be given as much attention and care as possible. I will try to accommodate any special needs/requests or schedules, please don’t be shy about asking for anything. Looking forward to caring for your four-legged family member!
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, I even had a gecko when I was younger. I have lived with and cared for pets my whole life. I grew up with a orange tabby cat, and recently lived with a Bombay and an American shorthair. I have also cat sat an Egyptian Mau and a Nebelung. My friends call me the cat whisperer because even when they say "he/she isn't keen to newcomers, the cat tends to feel comfortable with me right from the start". This is something I love seeing since cats are known to be more picky about who they chose to rub against or get close to. I have also grown up around and cared for a variety of dogs. To list a few dog breeds I have cared for: American Eskimo, Labrador, Golden Retrieves, Huskie, Malamute, German Shepard, Cavapoo, Belgian Malinois, Golden Doodle, Beagle, Wiener dog, Katahula, Mountain Cur, Boxer. My first dog was an American Eskimo , and then my family also had a couple Labs and currently have a Katahula/Mountain Cur mix. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with the care of their pets. I have experience working with working dogs (Belgian Malinois, German Shepard) and caring for them on strict schedules as my best friend has 2 working dogs that have alternating schedules and crate times. My last roommate has a Cavapoo and since I work fully remote I spent the days caring for him, taking him on walks, feeding him dinner, I even gave him bathes though he didn't particularly enjoy them. I love to go for runs/walks and love to cuddle. I promise that if you chose me to care for your pet they will receive all the love I have to offer. I currently work from home full-time with a lot of flexibility in my work schedule, so I am able to take the pets out for walks multiple times a day if needed, and it opens me up to be more available to watch your pets. I am a highly active person so having a furry companion to play with always makes my days better. I currently share an apartment with a roommate who does not do well with Pet Dander so it is best if I care for your furry friends at your home. I will respect your wishes whether you allow pets on furniture or not. I do not mind if they are on the furniture but that is a personal preference and understand the need for consistency with animals. When caring for your pet I just ask that you provide a note of preferred do's or dont's in your home.
About: I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a holiday trip, I’m super flexible and happy to help whenever you need me. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and exercise with regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. And, of course, I’ll send you cute photo updates so you can feel close to them even when you’re away. Your pets will be in great hands with me! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s walking or playing fetch with dogs on the beach, playing with cats, or providing companionship, I always ensure pets receive the care and attention they need. My partner’s large, lovable five-year-old black Labrador is a big part of my life too, and I treat him as my own—feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with him—fitting him into my day whenever I can. I’m flexible and always happy to adjust to each pet's specific needs, ensuring they’re comfortable and well-loved while you’re away. Pet care is a responsibility I take seriously and with joy! When caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I make sure the environment is pet-proofed and safe, removing any potential hazards and creating a cozy, relaxing space where pets can feel at home. When it comes to walks, I keep dogs on a leash and stay alert to their surroundings, making sure they're safe and happy. I also stick to their routine, whether it’s feeding or playtime, so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I aim to make every pet feel like part of the family during their time with me.
About: I am available most hours so can be very flexible. I am healthy and can keep up with the most demanding doggies. I have experience caring for medium and small dogs. I can travel in the area and care for your pooch where he or she is most familiar. You will find I am very easy to work with regarding hours, workdays, or weekends. I am very attentive and will ensure your doggie is well hydrated and get the appropriate amount of exercise. I am confident that any future client will be very pleased with the care and attention their pets receive from me. Thank you for any consideration and I hope you find the right match for you furry family member. My calendar is pretty wide open these days because I'm studying for my phlebotomy classes, which means your pup gets my full attention (and gives me the perfect excuse to take a study break!). Fresh air, leisurely walks, and stopping to sniff every interesting bush. That's my specialty. I'm not in a rush, so your dog can set the pace, whether they're an energetic explorer or a professional squirrel watcher. Before your pup and I head out on any adventures, safety always comes first. With your permission, I'll use my own AirTag attached securely to your dog's collar for an extra layer of peace of mind while we're out and about. I'll also send plenty of photo updates as often as you'd like, so you can see how much fun your furry family member is having and know they're safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Sonia is amazing! She patiently worked with me to create a schedule that worked for us both. She sent daily check-ins with pictures and promptly responded to any message I sent. I was worry-free my entire trip knowing my pets were in good hands. I will definitely reach out to her next time I travel.”

About: I like to be active and go on runs or walks, so I can do any activity like that with your dog(s); whether we're playing fetch, going on walks/runs, visiting the park, etc. and I am a very patient and loving person! It would be a pleasure to have fun with your dog(s) in any capacity! I have experience house/dog sitting and running with even the most energetic dogs! I also have experience of taking care of puppies and understand the commitment level and patience to hang out with a puppy! I am capable of taking out dogs for walks or playing frequently. I would love to hear more about your pets and how I can help out! I work nearby in Monterey and some days I work from home. I can walk early mornings or after work days. I am flexible and can be available for weekends. I can do walks or runs in various areas. I have a small backyard, concrete/dirt mix where my dog has space to run and play fetch. It is all enclosed, and theres even a fake grass patch for dogs. I walk mornings and evenings and can also run dogs with extra energy. I work from home some days of the week so can be with dog for longer parts of the day and schedule can be flexible depending on needs.

About: About Me 🤍 Hi! I’m Alicia :) I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up around both dogs and cats. I have a Pomeranian of my own, and I’ve lived with and cared for all different kinds of dogs and cats over the years. I also have experience pet sitting, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their own little personality. I know every pet is different. Some dogs want to play and go on walks all day, while others just want to cuddle and hang out. The same goes for cats, some will be your best friend right away and others need a little time before they trust you. I’m very patient and always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I really just want them to feel safe and happy while their family is away. 🐾 I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, not just your pet, and I take that seriously. Before getting into real estate, I worked in banking, so being responsible, trustworthy, professional, and respectful of people’s privacy has always been really important to me. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have in mine. A little about me outside of pet sitting: I’ve lived in Japan, Hawaii, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and now I’ve settled in Monterey with my family. I love being outside, going to the beach, and taking walks around the coast, so having a pup come along with me makes it even better! At the end of the day, I really just love animals. Your pet isn’t going to feel like another “booking” to me. I want to get to know them, learn their little quirks and routine, and make sure they’re getting lots of love and attention while you’re gone. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and in good hands. 🤍 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they stay on their normal routine, feel comfortable, and receive lots of love and attention while their owners are away. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, needs, and behavior to ensure they feel secure and cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a clean, attentive, and trustworthy environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of affection, supervision, and patience. I also love keeping pet owners updated with photo and video updates throughout the day so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone, so communication is always a priority for me, and I’m happy to answer questions or accommodate any specific care instructions.

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.
