House Sitting Carmel Mountain

“Logan was fantastic! Very punctual, sent updates throughout his stay with Lucky! He was a phenomenal house guest and left our place the way he found it! His care and attention left me at ease while on a trip away from my dog. Would absolutely book Logan again!”

“Aubrey was very responsible, followed through with all the feeding and medication requirements of our dog, walked her, and, most importantly, gave her cuddles and love. It is never easy to leave your fur baby under the care of someone else but we felt totally at ease leaving her in the care of Aubrey.”

“Terra did an amazing job with Maisy. I had to hire unexpectedly at the last minute and she was so quick to respond and had great communication, she was also flexible with her schedule in order to accommodate mine. She sent tons of pictures which I appreciate too! I will definitely reach out to her for my future trips to San Diego.”

About: Hello I’m Nancy! I’m a recent college graduate from UCSD who would prefer more animal friends than humans. I joined Rover to meet more local furry neighbors and help out pet owners. I’m a hamster owner myself, but I have plenty of house sitting experience for dogs and cats since 2021. Owners that book recurring visits often see their pets are excited to see me again. I’m honored to be your sitter — your pet will get all of my love and affection and you will receive lots of (goofy) photos to prove that. Cat owners extremely benefit from me, as I have a younger sister who also helps out whenever I am cat sitting. Your cat will understand what it is like to be a celebrity between the two of us since we are big cat lovers! My work schedule is Thursday-Mon 11pm-7:30am. I typically don’t sleep until a couple hours later (10-11am) and I wake up around 3-4pm. So my schedule can align well with pets that are familiar with a typical 9-5 schedule. I rarely travel so my schedule can accommodate pets under short notice. Before you entrust me with the care of your friend, I’d love to know more about them. Ideally, I’d love to schedule a meet and greet beforehand so they get used to me and so we both know more about each other. It is important to me that I meet you and your pet’s expectations. I’d love to know all the quirks and traits of your pet.

“Kelcy was amazing with my cat. Every day I received an update and photos. I never felt as if I needed to worry about anything. I highly recommend Kelcy and will definitely use her again.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I genuinely love animals and have spent years around pets of all kinds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Caring for pets isn’t something I treat as a side task—it’s something I take seriously and personally. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, making sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, observant, and dependable, and I communicate clearly so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine now that I no longer work remotely. I have dedicated availability and flexibility to focus fully on pets throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins without distractions. This schedule lets me be present, reliable, and responsive to each pet’s needs rather than fitting care around a work-from-home schedule. I care for pets with the same attention and respect whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I stick to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and rest periods to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress. I keep their environment clean and safe, provide plenty of affection and supervision, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly address any concerns and keep owners informed.

“This is our first time using rover and Sam made it a positive experience from the time i contacted her and through the meet and great and the entire sit. We had to adjust our start time couple of times but she was very flexible with that, we really appreciate her for understanding. The Sit went very smooth as well, we got all the updates even before we asking with pictures :) Snow was very well taken care of, we could tell that once we reached home since he was not anxious at all. Overall Sam is great and we will be in touch soon for our next vacations :)”

“Claudia was wonderful! Our pup is always a little nervous with new people but by day 2 she was snuggled up with Claudia. She sent frequent photos and updates, was great at keeping Kaya on her regular schedule, helped out with other household tasks and left the house clean. I appreciate knowing that Kaya is being well taken care of because it allows me to enjoy my vacation! Kaya will be looking forward to her next stay with Claudia.”

About: Hi there, I have had my current dog for 14 years now and I got her when she was a puppy. About 2 years ago I became a dog dad to a Belgian Malinois and about 5 years ago another dog joined our family Hi! I’m Joshua, a reliable and attentive pet lover who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I work from home, so I’m able to be around your pets throughout the day and provide plenty of potty breaks, companionship, attention, and supervision. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and pets who need a little extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable following individual feeding schedules, routines, medications, and care instructions because I know every pet has different needs. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a long walk, relax beside me while I work, or simply have some extra attention and cuddles, I’m happy to follow their lead. I also know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I love sending regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pup is doing and know they’re having a great time. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of many different ages, breeds, and personalities, including senior pets and pets requiring medication or additional care. I currently have senior dogs of my own, which has given me firsthand experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that older pets can require. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping a close eye on changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing. Your pet’s normal routine matters to me, and I’ll do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away.

“Crystal was amazing! She helped us last minute and worked with our changing schedule. She did a good job of accommodating all of Roxxys needs. I can tell that Roxxy made a new friend! I would definitely recommend her!”

Luke P.

“Very communicative. I received daily photos and videos. The pups seemed happy and our youngest found a lap to lay on. Bob played with both dogs and seemed to really start to learn their personalities”

Andrea N.

“Sophia was great! She came to our house in advance to get familiar with our pup and where things are. We could immediately tell that our dog felt comfortable with her and loved her. Sophia asked great questions, took our dog for hikes every day, and sent regular updates and photos. We felt very confident in her and could not have asked for a better experience! We would absolutely recommend her as an amazing pet-sitter!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with six years of experience. I volunteered at the SPCA of Monterey County for 124 hours and currently work at a local Animal Center in San Diego. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and energy levels. I treat every pup like my own family, ensuring that they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention while you are away. I currently work at an animal shelter/center. I work 8 hour shifts 4 days of the week (days vary). The other days I spend taking dog & house sitting jobs or babysitting jobs. During the days I am at the animal shelter I leave the house at 10am and return at 7pm. On days I am not at the shelter I stay at the house with your pup and the maximum time I’d be away is 3 hours a day (unless told otherwise by owner). Dogs will get daily walks, meals, and meds (if needed) as instructed by their owner. I try to include the dogs in my daily activities. For example, choosing to sit with them while I reply to work emails or answer work calls.

About: I have raised and cared for pets most of my life. Primarily with dogs and cats, however I have also cared for iguanas, turtles and more. Our pets are our family, I know how hard it is to leave them so let me help fill this time for you. I work from home and arrange my own schedule so I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Let’s connect to see how I can be of assistance. I have a loving pup at home that loves having friends over. Can allow your pet to roam free or crate, whatever you feel more comfortable with. Also more than happy to offer drop in visits, walks or stay with your pet in their own home.

About: I have loved animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I graduated from veterinary school, although I ultimately chose a different career path because seeing animals in pain was emotionally difficult for me. That education gave me valuable knowledge of animal health and attentive care, while strengthening the compassion I bring to every pet. I currently care for my senior cat, Minnie, who has been part of my family for more than 10 years. Caring for an older pet has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of noticing small changes in an animal’s behavior and comfort. I also regularly support animal shelters in Mexico because I believe every animal deserves kindness, safety, and the chance to enjoy a good life. Because Minnie prefers to be the only pet in our home, I provide care in your home, where your pet can remain comfortable in familiar surroundings. Whether I’m visiting, walking, or staying overnight, I will carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and treat your precious pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as most weekends and holidays. Because I manage my own schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet’s established routine and provide dependable care when you need it. When caring for pets in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and normal routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding and care instructions, provide fresh water, affection, attention, and playtime, and make sure dogs receive their scheduled potty breaks and walks. I pay close attention to each pet’s mood and behavior, respect the boundaries of shy or cautious animals, and will contact you promptly if anything seems unusual. I also keep doors and gates secure, treat your home with care and respect, and provide regular messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well loved.

“We were very fortunate that Lauren had time in her schedule when we had to make a last- minute trip. She took amazing care of our elderly dogs, assorted birds, and fish. She sent us lots of pics of our very contented dogs snoozing, eating, and on their walks. She handled their special diets and supplements like a pro and even cleaned up a bit, plus watered our many plants, and took out the garbage and recycling. She is so responsible and caring—truly a gem!”

“So glad we found Jinni, our two chihuahua mixes loved her and she managed our son’s cat who gets into everything. We were gone for 10 nights and have never used a house sitter before, but we always felt the animas were in good hands. Jinni communicated often and updated us with photos. Highly recommend!”

“I can’t sing Michelle‘s praises enough. We were going abroad for about a week and had another sitter cancel at the last minute. Michelle followed up quickly, scheduled a meet and greet and agreed to sit our four pets while we were away. She is awesome. They warmed up to her so quickly, and she was communicative through both text and photos. We hope we can work again with you in the future, Michelle!”
