About: I've cared for multiple breeds of dogs of all different ages. I have lots of experience with shy, aggressive and timid dogs. I have basic knowledge of dog training and obedience. Pet sitting is my fulltime job and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am able to tailor my schedule based on the needs of the animals that I am taking care of. I live on an acre that is walled in and I have 4 friendly dogs of my own. Safety is my top priority so all of our outside gates have pavers cemented in the ground under them to prevent digging and escaping. All doors in the house that lead to outside have a baby gate in front of them to help prevent a dog from slipping out and escaping. All dogs that board with me live in our home with us and are treated like one of our own. I want them to feel at home and make their stay as stress free as possible.

About: Father to two boys and two dogs looking to pick up extra money and make ends meet. Lifelong dog rescuer and animal lover, current U of A student and future K-12 art educator. Currently attending U of A Mon-Thursday. I have limited availability during gaps between my classes. On Friday I have much more availability, as I am not attending classes that day. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as issuing controlled medication at scheduled intervals. I personally don’t give my dogs table scraps, because I know how sensitive their digestive systems can be. I have prepared raw diet meals in the past for pets. An exercised dog is a happy dog!

“Laura took really good care of our pug and kitty (who needs daily medication). Great communication, we got updates on how they were doing. I also appreciated Laura coming over before we left to make sure she knew all of our instructions etc. I would definitely have her watch our pets again.”

About: I understand the responsibility and trust that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m someone who takes commitments seriously, pays attention to details, and believes that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and consistency. My background has taught me how to be dependable, organized, and calm in unexpected situations. I work in an environment where communication, problem solving, and taking care of people’s needs are part of my everyday routine, and I bring that same mindset into caring for pets. I’m also someone who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I understand that many dogs need more than just a quick walk they need attention, exercise, and someone who is willing to be present with them. I enjoy walking, being outside, and creating a positive experience for pets while keeping them safe. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether it’s a young pet that needs extra patience and attention, an energetic dog that needs exercise and playtime, or a senior pet that needs a calmer approach, I’m willing to learn their needs and provide care that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with respect, attention, and genuine care while they’re away. Pet care would fit well into my routine because I’m someone who values responsibility, consistency, and taking care of things the right way. I currently have a structured schedule and I’m used to managing responsibilities, solving problems, and making sure people can count on me. Even though I haven’t had a pet in a long time, I understand how important pets are to their families. I know they are not just animals, they are part of someone’s home and daily life. I would treat every pet with patience, attention, and respect, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and building trust with others. I would bring the same level of commitment and care that I bring to everything else I do into taking care of someone’s pet. When caring for a pet in my client’s home, I would treat their home and their pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own\. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I would take the time to learn their schedule, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care they require. I believe consistency is very important for pets, especially when their owners are away\. I would make sure they receive attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a safe environment while following all instructions provided by the owner. I’m someone who is organized, responsible, and pays attention to details\. My goal would be to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who is dependable and genuinely wants them to feel comfortable and happy.

About: I have been lucky enough to have been surrounded by a variety of pets (dogs, cats, horses, pigs, chickens, fish, goats, reptiles, and small mammals) my entire life and have always taken a prominent role in caring for them. My husband and I share a deep love for animals and treat them as a part of the family and would treat yours with the same level of care. We have our own flock of chickens as well as experience with goats (including milking) so can help out with the homestead if needed! We love spoiling our pack just enough and can promise to do the same with yours. I have open availability to walk or watch your pets any day of the week. I have a part time job but it's very flexible so I can take care of the pack anytime! Safety and security first. I will always prioritize the safety of your pet above all and will make sure that when they're with me that they are monitored and supported in any way necessary.

“I had adopted a German Shepherd, and 4 days later asked Sophia if she could watch him for 7+ days. She took on this immense responsibility with such class, kindness, warmheartedness, and with a true desire to make his experience the best she could give him. Her communication was second to none by responding quickly to texts (within the hour), making time for FaceTimes, sending pictures, and updating frequently as asked. She made my mind and travel experience at ease knowing that she was taking great care of my brand new baby boy. Mind you, this was all over the Christmas holiday. Her sacrifice during the holidays was incredibly appreciated and I would recommend Sophia to anyone who needs comfort knowing that their animal is in wonderful hands.”

About: Reliable, Experienced, and Loving Care for Your Pets 🐾 Hi, I’m Meghan. I’m a dependable and experienced pet sitter with 6+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be leaving your pets behind, which is why I focus on making the process as smooth and worry-free as possible. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same level of love, attention, patience, and care they receive from you. I have raised and cared for four dogs of my own through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. That experience has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, routines, exercise needs, and comfort care. Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, medication support, or just extra companionship, I provide dependable care tailored to their specific needs. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would expect in my own. I’m happy to bring in mail and packages, keep things tidy, and help maintain a clean, secure home while you’re away. What you can expect when booking with me: ✔ Reliable communication and updates ✔ Plenty of love, attention, and playtime ✔ Care customized to your pet’s routine ✔ Respectful, trustworthy in-home care ✔ Peace of mind while you’re away I truly believe pets do best when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and that’s exactly the environment I aim to provide. I always recommend a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family. I’m also happy to discuss long-term, recurring, or custom care arrangements for families needing consistent support. Pet care fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable overnight care, evening drop-ins, and nighttime companionship for pets who do best with consistent care overnight. For in-home sitting, please note that I am primarily available for overnight stays and evening care. Due to family and work responsibilities, I will need to be away from your home during the day for approximately 10–12 hours. This arrangement is ideal for pets who are comfortable during daytime hours and need reliable care, companionship, and attention in the evenings and overnight. I prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets thrive best when they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, patience, and attentive care. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For overnight or house sitting services, I am primarily available during evenings and overnight hours. Due to family and work responsibilities, I may be away during the day, so I am best suited for pets who are comfortable being alone for longer daytime periods. During every booking, communication is a priority. I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I am a veterinary student but have 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician. I have vast experience in pet sitting, general practice, and emergency. I love hanging with pets and people! As a student my schedule during the week is more flexible. Some days I am done by 11am and others we are there from 8-5, but typically Monday - Friday. I plan to always leave it cleaner than I found it, cleaning up accidents if they occur. Additionally not going into places that are designated for me, I will not open doors if left shut.

About: I have had pets all my life and have grown up with dogs. Currently live with five adventure cats and a rambunctious fun loving puppy. I have dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am familiar with feeding and water care, and walking. I will also engage in play such as fetch or tug-a-war. I will play with your cat using their favorite string toy or mouse, or give them pampering pets while they sunbathe. For people I have pet sat for I take cute pictures of their dog or cat having a good time and send it to them while they are away and can do this for you as well if you'd like! I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule! You let me know when your fur babies need a friend to come and be with them, and I will be there to play, clean, keep company, or walk your pets! Pet care is very tailored to a person's lifestyle and home. When coming to help care for your pet I will follow the instructions of their routine and become familiar to ensure that they know what to expect, aren't stressed, and are able to have a good time!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Catalina

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Catalina is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,327 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Catalina. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 with handling special pet needs in Catalina. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
