“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: We have both had dogs our entire lives and now have one pup of our own at home. We have been dog sitting for friends and on Rover for 7+ years and live an active lifestyle to keep all the dogs entertained and tired out. We dog sit all ages, breeds, and sizes and our dog is very friendly with other dogs. We are happy to provide walks, bathrooms breaks, runs, baths, and snuggles! We both currently work hybrid jobs with flexible schedules for walks, runs, and time on the beach. We are available to dog sit during the week or on weekends. Due to our hybrid schedule, we always arrange time at home accordingly for snuggles, treats, and walks/bathroom breaks. We live in a cozy 2-level condo with our own outdoor space as well as an upstairs balcony for the pups to lounge on. We are a 5 min walk to the beach and bring our own pup there almost daily. Our home is set up for dogs and we have extra beds, crates, bowls, and toys. We can feed at any designated times and provide lots of cuddles and walks throughout the day. We also have experience administering medication.
“Courtney is the BEST! She is communicative, kind and showed so much care and love to my cat Sir T. She asked questions I hadn’t even thought of because she wanted to make sure she was providing thorough care. Thanks so much Courtney!”

About: I am a former kitten foster and also have precious dog sitting experience. I love animals so I will definitely give them the love and attention to feel secure when you are gone. I recently moved to San Diego and am looking for animal friends! I would never treat an animal differently than a way I would treat a human. They are equals in my eyes and I really just like to love them! Your animals would not be lonely or neglected at all in my care. I do not have any animals of my own currently so they would have plenty of one-on-one time with me. I have experience with puppies and neonatal kittens, as well as older dogs and cats. I won’t let you or your pet down :) I recently quit my job as I am starting Physician Assistant school in September so I have plenty of free time these days. Trying to make some money in the interim and figured this is right up my alley. I have a fenced in yard and one fluffy male resident tuxedo cat that has been with me through most of my fosters. He was a foster fail and the sweetest! He gets along with both cats and dogs. I keep my house clean and only have pet safe plants!
“Anna was wonderful with our Scout! It was her first time with our pup and she took such good care of him. He’s a reactive dog and she did a great job taking him out for his walk and then playing with him in our room. We will be scheduling with Anna again!”

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from reptiles to large mammals since my childhood. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while on trips or even just out for the day. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have also received some formal education in veterinary care as well as worked multiple jobs as a veterinary assistant. I’m currently working a full-time job so weekends and/or when owners are on vacation are my best times, as well as after work if owners are caught up on the job and need assistance with walking or feeding. I will happily watch your pets in your own home, even overnight on weekends. I take extra care to provide the best service I possibly can, catering each visit to each owner’s preference. I have experience in medication administration as well as animal handling to create a fear free environment for your pet and keep your mind at ease.
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.

About: I've taken care of family and friend family pets growing up. My mom set up daycare for children and families would bring their pets often. (Watching my mommies growing up was my first experience and I now enjoying caring for others on my own leisure time) On my personal time, I've taken care of colleagues and friends family pets. My chihuahua will come with me on home visits otherwise I will require 1 hour break to go home to feed/walk my furbaby. I live by Bacara, I have the backyard that leads to Ellwood preserve. I do not use dog food to feed due to the high sodium, I cook meals using protein, veggies and Japanese potato. I'm happy to walk/care for family pets starting at 6am and latest walk at 6pm unless you are requesting overnight. Bed time is by 9pm or earlier. I have trim pets hair and given baths, this is complimentary for overnight stays even for 1 day. I have the materials and only cut hair by hand. I will keep majority of the hair 🙂 so you will not return surprised, your furbaby will look rejuvenated and polished 💖 I treat all furbaby as my own and cook extra portion for yours. I will walk the dogs together, 3 max at a time including my chihuahua. My chihuahua is allowed everywhere in my home so your furbaby is allowed to go anywhere except for kitchen when I'm cooking. Walks happen every 4 hours unless we are sleeping. I do not crate any furbaby so will not take you if this is something you request, I believe family pets should be included so will be in couch or bed. If they are in the floor every room has a fluffy bed. I do not have cat climbing build, only fuzzy beds! 🐾
About: I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. My husband 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 There! My little family and myself are pet lovers! 🥰 We have two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. Our home has always been a bit of a revolving door for furry friends. I have been dog walking and pet sitting locally for the past 17yrs and have plenty of references. I am out and about most mornings doing dog walks, typically 9/930-12ish and available again most afternoon or evenings depending on what you need. I work for an afterschool program during the school year so my schedule tends to open up a bit more during the summer. We have a high, fully fenced in back yard w plenty of shade. I tend to take boarded pups w me on my walks if the temperament works. We live in a very quiet little corner in Carpinteria surrounded by parks and bike trails.

“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!”

“Noah has developed a great relationship with Monet. She is so happy - almost too happy :) to see him. Puppies can be challenging but Noah has a special touch. I will book him again.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carpinteria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
