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.
“Jazmine was wonderful with my two corgis. One of my dogs has terrible anxiety, but Jazmine was able to really help her stay calm and get through her scared moments. She also did some training for my younger dog. She was always punctual, a very good communicator, and handled herself professionally.”
“Andrea was amazing! She’s quite the dog whisperer because my usually timid pup warmed up to her so fast. She sent me lots of pics and detailed descriptions of how the visits went which made me feel like my dog was well taken care of. I can also tell Andrea has experience with animals if my rescue dog is asking for belly scratches in the pictures! She was on time every time and followed the notes I gave her to a t. Definitely would book with Andrea again!”
About: I’m the mom to a cat named Zeppelin, a dog named Stevie and a horse named Cece. I successfully trained both Stevie and Zeppelin (yes you can train a cat!) myself and have dabbled in equine training as well. Being the guardian of a nervous, reactive pup, I pride myself on understanding animal behavior and dog body language. After bringing Stevie home, I was quickly thrown into the world of dog training and behavior modification out of necessity and I have a special place in my heart for nervous pups. I've even started training other people's dogs on the side! After training my own dog, I fell in love with the process and couldn't put it down! I’ve also worked in a veterinary office and feel confident in my abilities to keep your animals safe and know how to handle emergencies. I’m a lab assistant for an environmental toxicology lab and train dogs on the side. I am available for drop ins and walks in the late afternoon and evening most days as well as any time on Sunday’s. At this time I am not available for boarding or overnight stays. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own, all of mine are rescues that took time, patience and trust to get to where we are now. I understand that having a new person around might be scary for your pet at first but I look forward to building a relationship with them so we all feel safe and comfortable. Having a nervous, reactive dog and a nervous cat has taught me how to better understand dog and cat body language and to go at their own pace.
“Carol did a great job watching Buster. She's super reliable and really connects with dogs. Buster is a rather large dog, but Carol had no problems keeping him under control. I highly recommend Carol!”
“2nd time booking Asta to do check ins on our doggie. We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! We felt completely at ease, she sent us pics of her check ins with our dog, gave him belly rubs which he for sures loved! Would definitely recommend her!”

Citlali was so great with my dog Molly. I know she comes back tired from their walks together. She’s been such a great help in last minute drop ins and walks. She listens to all of my various instructions to a T. I will continue to book with her and you should too!
Our girls love Marion and so do we! She great with communication and great with our girls. She let us know when our hound was acting different and sent plenty of pictures so we got to see our girls. We’re happy to have someone we can trust with our girls whenever we need a sitter
Flora took exceptional care of our two cats while we were away. She is professional, friendly, and an excellent communicator. She always arrives on time, and is flexible when situations arise. I highly recommend Flora as a pet sitter because she is trustworthy, responsible, responsive, friendly, educated, and an excellent communicator.
I had a wonderful experience with Katie dropping in to check on my cat Penelope. Katie’s communication kept me in the loop throughout the week, providing reassurance that Penelope was well taken care of and happy. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone with pets to care for, and will be using her again in the future.

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 Del Rey Oaks 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 .
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 Del Rey Oaks. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
