About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and behaviors. Through my experience, I’ve learned how important it is to understand canine body language and recognize each dog’s unique needs. I truly believe dogs are like little children, each with their own personalities, quirks, and ways of communicating. I love them all so much and am passionate about making every dog feel safe, loved, and understood! I am flexible with anything and can work with your availability! I am available to house sit, dog walk, or provide occasional drop-ins, any day of the week. Your pet is my first priority! My goal is to make your fur baby feel special, safe, and loved. Every dog is different, and I will always make sure they receive the individual care and attention they deserve. For house sitting, I’ll send pictures and regular updates and stay in contact throughout the day so you can feel comfortable and confident that your dog is in loving, caring hands. For walks, I’ll also send pictures and bring poop bags and treats to make the experience extra special. My goal is to spoil your dog with love and attention while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for!
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ and family members’ pets since I was little, and been a reliable and trustworthy caretaker. I have been caring for dogs for five years, including elderly, deaf, and blind dogs. I understand the nuance to earning trust of shy or elderly pets. I have always loved animals and I have repeat clients that find me reliable and loved by their pets. My schedule is very open right now, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention and love they deserve. I have pets of my own at my home where I live with my parents, so I will care for your pets in your home, either staying at the house or doing drop-ins. I am clean and respectful and I love spending time with animals, respecting and getting to know them on their terms.
About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. Every dog I've dog sat or walked has now become a repeat customer or booked another stay this summer! We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk. I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
About: I have many years of experience with dogs. I have grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life. For about 4 years I helped train, walk and babysit pet around my neighborhood and I have always had great feedback! I’m currently community college and I have a part time job that I go to after school once a week and on the weekends. The job goes for no later than 7:30pm. I will be able to have time to feed, walk, and spend time with your pets in the morning and at night on the days I work, and on the weekends I can spend even longer periods of time with your pet. I walk, feed, and clean up after the pets I take care of including my own. I also LOVE dogs so spending time with them isn’t a chore for me, and the cleaning up after just comes with the fun of spending time with them!
“My cat usually hates everyone except me and my husband but she appeared for Stephanie! Stephanie did a great job following the instructions we left and was able to take us on at the last minute when our usual sitter fell through. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Victor was absolutely amazing! He did a 3x visit a day for my dogs and cat while I was out of town for a few day. Victor went above and beyond to make sure the pets were well supervised loved, taken care of and also made sure I got adorable videos. Thank you Victor for taking such great care of the house and the fur babies :) we absolutely appreciate your attention to detail and care for animals!”
About: Ten years caring for dogs big and small. I keep their routines, give plenty of exercise and cuddles, and send updates so you can relax. Evenings after 6 pm I’m free for walks, feeding and company. Weekends I’m fully available to enjoy your dog, from park strolls to beach days. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can play safely. In your home, I carefully follow your routines and keep everything secure.
“Maya was absolutely awesome with our cat Max. Extremely diligent and detail oriented for all the care he needed while we were away. Please don’t hesitate to connect with her if the arrangement works out!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need gentle care and extra attention. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, administering basic medications, and maintaining calm, comforting environments. My priority is always safety, trust, and keeping pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I plan my schedule around the pets I look after, making sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I build my day around their routines. On a weekly basis, I check in with clients to confirm schedules, update them with photos and notes, and make sure each pet’s needs are being met. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every single day. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines to minimize stress, keep them active and engaged, and send regular photo and text updates so owners feel connected and confident that their furry family members are in good hands.
About: I am a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 3 years of professional experience and a lifelong passion for animal care that began when I was 12 years old. I provide loving, active, and attentive care for both dogs and cats. Having grown up with my own cat and dog (who now lives happily with my parents), I truly understand the responsibility and emotional bond pet owners share with their animals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring gentle care. I focus on daily exercise, play, feeding, and companionship tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Pet owners can expect regular photo and video updates, a safe and enriching environment, and complete peace of mind while they’re away. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals combined with consistent reliability and professionalism. I Do Full time work as an Animal Care Technician I’m available from 4pm - Evening except for Wednesday,Thursday Evening and Sunday Mornings. I’m working full time but I am off at 4pm so I’m more flexible during the evening so if you need someone at those time I’m ready to serve. And also if you’re away on vacation. But I’m free on Saturdays. I live in a two bedroom apartment with a decent amount of room in the living room. With a patio. But I’ll take the dogs out to the park more for high activity.
“Lindsey was very prompt to respond at all times and gave me a great sense of comfort while I was away because she did such a great job taking care of my cat. Would definitely book again with Lindsey!”

Elizabeth is a cat whisperer! She has watched my 3 cats several times. She is reliable, incredibly caring, pays attention to detail, and she has learned to administer my blind cats liquid medication. Two of my cats are former ferals and they hide from everyone, and she has seen both of them and even pet my extremely shy boy Shadow. She is highly recommended & cat approved! 🐈😻🐈⬛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in El Granada is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $49 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 11,138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across El Granada. 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.

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.
