“Laura was fantastic! She took good care of our cat, Rocky, for four days and kept us updated with regular messages and pictures. Rocky is usually shy around strangers but he warmed up to her quickly. We appreciated her prompt communication and attention to details. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you, Laura!”
“Deandra was a great pet sitter for my senior 5 lb dog. I used her for extended drop ins two days in a row and she always came right as scheduled, checked in with me, and sent plenty of pictures and an update on my dog when she left. She gave my dog lots of love, treats, and outdoors time and he was happy and relaxed every time I came home after one of her visits. I’m so happy I found her and will be using her as a pet sitter going forward!”
About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 5 years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have a multi-pet household of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and giving your pup or kitty lots of love and attention. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, nervous or anxious dogs, and dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance to feel comfortable. Building trust with animals is one of my favorite parts of pet care, and I love helping shy pets come out of their shell and gain confidence over time. I’m also trained in dog CPR ,as well as how to respond if one has a seizure, and I stay calm in stressful situations while always prioritizing safety. Whether your furbaby loves adventures and playtime or prefers calm companionship and cuddles, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare and boarding facility, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my daily life, both at work and at home! I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with afternoon to evening availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I love staying active, spending time with animals, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including nervous or anxious pets who may need extra patience and reassurance. I always take time to build trust and help pets feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I’m trained in dog CPR and seizure response, and I stay calm and attentive in stressful situations. During visits, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and love while also respecting their routines and your home. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands.
“I highly recommend Annette! She accepted my booking request on very short notice, which was a huge help. She took great care of my three cats and was reliable, responsive, and thoughtful, sending me pictures and updates during each visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly book with her again.”
About: Please note that I work 9-5 in Santa Barbara. Please be sure you are comfortable with me being gone that long. I can recommend a dog walker who might be able to help with check-ins, based on her availability. My experience is predominantly in cats and dogs but I have also cared for birds, rabbits, fish, and reptiles. One of my regular customers in the past had llamas, camels, donkeys, tortoises, a pig, a ferret, a hedgehog, and two dogs + a litter of 8 week old puppies. I have also cared for my parents' horses. I work in Santa Barbara from 9-5. Please consider if you are comfortable with me being gone that long.

Does your dog need playtime and walks? No problem! Does your cat need a lap to sit on before bed? No problem! I can also help with administering pills and liquid medications.
About: Experienced in caring for senior cats and dogs, especially pets that need medicine or have mobility issues. Grew up in a house with lots of pets including ducks, chickens and fish. Please note that I NO longer sit/walk dogs over 40lbs, no exceptions. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or for business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.
About: I loved dogs so much when I was young that when I was 13 I started my first job as a dog washer at the “European Grooming” dog groomers up the street from my childhood home. I would work there all day every Saturday and loved it because I got to be with so many dogs. I also have been a second mom to my friend’s two Pitbull pups which have been quite a handful, but noting I can’t handle! I have experience helping to train and discipline even the most hyper and aggressive pupsters. I’m currently working part time remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I just moved here and I think it would be fun to get to walk dogs while walking around this beautiful area 🌊 I can’t have dogs come to my home because my roommates have territorial cats, but I am happy to house sit and walk dogs to help families who need a reliable dog sitter.
About: I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. My live-in partner is the manager of a veterinary clinic and I am a certified dog trainer with an extensive history of working in the animal industry at pet stores, groomers, and ranches. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. I work from home and offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds. My pups and I begin each day with a walk to the beach, then home for a quick bath, brush, and nap before more playtime in the afternoon. Working from home allows me all the time in the world to pamper my pups and our visiting guests, offering customized care for their unique needs. I treat drop-in visits like I would my own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in my care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.
About: Hello! We are a family of 4 (our girl is 10 and our boy is 14) that loves dogs!! We also have allergies so only hypoallergenic dogs please if you are booking for boarding or day care.

We can’t wait to love your sweet dog as our own and shower it with love and attention! We have flexible working-from-home schedules. Our kids are in a school schedule with extra time in mornings, evenings and weekends. We would love to welcome your dog as our own! We have a fenced yard.

About: Since I was a little girl I've had the opportunity to raise and care for a variety of dog breeds...dalmatian, maltese, miniature schnauzer, tea cup poodle, and chihuahua. One of my most memorable moments I had growing up was when I woke up to my dalmatian Pepper's newborn puppies that my parents placed around me in my bed. They were absolutely adorable! I will never forget their sweet little faces! From a very young age I learned the responsibilties of quality pet care...proper nutrition, exercise, and T.L.C. I've also had the opportunity to care for extended family and friends dogs, which include various breeds such as labrador retriever, border collie, samoyed, Boston terrier, great dane, golden retriever, and goldendoodle. I am thankful for being able to care for so many great and unique dogs over the years. In the future, I would love to own a Bernese Mountian dog! At this point in time, I enjoy caring for other's dogs and would love the opportunity to watch your dog or doggies!!
About: I've cared for large and small animals since I was young. I recently lost my 13-year-old german shepherd, and although I'm not ready to get another dog of my own, I have lots of love to give your fur babies. I love to go on walks and be outside exploring this beautiful area. I am experienced in puppies, training, senior care and providing medications. I work 7:30-3:30, but am available 24/7 during vacation weeks (Thanksgiving/Christmas/spring break). I love to go for morning and evening dog walks and to spend as much time as possible outside. I am available to stay in your home so your pet is comfortable and routines stay consistent. I provide enrichment activities, walks, and lots of love and cuddles!
“This is our second time having Chloe watch our cat while out of town. Cannot express enough appreciation for all she does to ensure our elderly cat feels loved and taken care of while away. From administering oral medication to troubleshoot any problems, Chloe is on top of it! Thank you Chloe!”
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I’ve had bunnies and cats and fish and dogs and birds. I’ve learned great ways to meet each of these animals with gentle and respectful care. I primarily work Monday-Wednesday 11am-8pm. I’m much more available in the evenings and weekends to take care of beloved pets. Pet walks would be most accessible on Thursdays-Sundays. I do not offer pet care in my home, I don’t have pets because I live in a very tiny apartment and know that’s not conducive for their wellbeing. In my client’s home, I show the utmost respect and care for their items, animal care needs and I triple check that I leave everything clean and locked.
About: I love dogs and feel that dogs are a part of our family. I have a small mixed breed (rescue) dog of my own. I am home most weekdays and some weekends. I have extensive experience with dogs of all types and ages. Having grown up with and owned my own dogs I have used my experience to volunteer with a local rescue, saving lives one pup at a time. In the last year I have been the "foster mom" to 5 rescue Dogs (so far!) Typically they are with me 4-6 weeks while we work to find them their forever home. I live downtown Carpinteria near beach and parks. My house is three bedroom two bathrooms with a fenced in patio area. My dog loves to lay out there on her bed in the sunshine. I can help with puppy training and have a lot of experience with off leash training. I look forward to meeting your dog! Walk times available 8 am until 9 pm Flexible eating times.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
