“Kenzee was very responsive and great with my cat. She kept me updated and sent cute pics every day. I would happily hire her again to cat sit.”
“Andrea was amazing with my two cats and made sure they were well loved for the two weeks I was gone! I loved getting updates with pictures and truly felt they were in great hands. She left my home even more clean and tidy than how I left it. Definitely recommend!”
“Marianne kept my judgmental and grumpy kitties very happy! I’m not even sure they noticed I was gone. She made sure food and water and the litter box was clean. And, she even gave my plants some TLC.”
“Wonderful person who cares so much about your pets! We had an emergency and Megan was willing to extend the booking and continue caring for my fur babies for an additional 2 days. She’s very kind and generous and that means a lot. I would definitely choose her again in the future!”
“Amazing!!! Thanks grace for being there!”
About: I love all dogs and especially the wild working breeds and their silly personalities! From Malinois to Plott Hounds, I am experienced in caring for the special needs of high drive dogs. I have my own working line shepherd who has been working through trauma induced reactivity issues, and I am *very* sensitive to behavior modification training. (No other animals will join in any appointments with clients.) I also adore puppies and their velociraptor ways, and do not charge additional base fees to work with them. I can't wait to meet you and you furry best friends! I am a full time remote worker and have a highly flexible schedule. The company operates during normal business hours, and my weekends are generally open. My offerings are for care within a client's home, and to take dogs on walks near their home. Please tell me about what your canine pal loves to do. Play ball? Sniff out squirrels? Take a leisurely stroll? Become one with the couch? :)
About: Animals have always been my happy place. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve had the privilege of caring for both cats and dogs, developing a deep bond and understanding of their unique personalities. Having spent years with furry friends, I've learned that every pet has its own quirks and needs, but all of them share one thing in common: a desire for love, attention, and connection. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion and hands-on experience. I'm not just someone who watches pets — I actively engage with them, whether it’s a playful game of fetch, a peaceful cuddle session, or a long walk to explore the world around us. I believe in creating an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t enjoy quality time with their human, and I take pride in giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s providing mental stimulation with toys, helping pets burn off energy with exercise, or simply offering companionship, my goal is always to ensure the well-being and happiness of each pet in my care. Their needs come first, and I make sure to listen to both the animals and their owners to create a routine that works for everyone. I’m more than just a pet sitter — I’m a true pet lover. With years of experience and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior, you can trust me to provide your pet with the best care possible. After all, every pet deserves to feel like they’re part of the family. Currently, my daily schedule revolves around taking care of my mom and my own animals, so having a flexible job is crucial. Luckily, pet sitting is the perfect fit for this chapter in my life, allowing me to combine my love for animals with my responsibilities at home I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly community, where I have access to quiet walks and a safe outdoor space. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a quick potty break, I ensure your pet gets the fresh air and exercise they need at their own pace. Inside the house, I’ve designed the space to be a cozy retreat for pets. I have a large, comfortable dog carrier for pets who need a quiet space to rest, as well as plenty of soft bedding and safe spots for them to relax and feel secure. I believe in building trust with each animal, which is why I ensure they have access to everything they might need, at any time — from fresh water in every room of my home to ample opportunities for play and attention.
“10 out of 10 recommend. My cats seemed peaceful/happy and my place was clean when I walked in after a long weekend.”
“Excellent care for our babies and detailed updates & photos 💕”
“Natalie provided excellent care of my cat while I was gone! Her drop in visits were always on time and she went above and beyond routine feeding and taking care of the litter box. My cat loves attention and Natalie gave it to her by brushing her, playing with her with toys she brought and cuddling with her. It is clear Natalie loves animals and her job. I highly recommend her!”
“Kim was so great with our cats. They immediately liked her and she put them at ease. We were concerned about leaving for the weekend because one cat was sick but she gave meds and monitored feeding for our sick kitty and provided attention and care to the others as well. Great communication and super reliable!”
About: I'm well-versed in litterboxes, cleaning up messes and throw up, interacting with hyper active animals until they wear themselves out, and gaining the trust of skittish animals. I work with kids, I find pets are much easier. I'm a full time student at UCSC and a runner which is perfect because I can study while petting a cat or take your hyperactive dog for a fun run. I'm also a lifeguard during the summers so I'm well versed with the beach and the sea and for the dogs who like to swim or paddleboard, I can show them an amazing day. I make sure the home is as clean if not cleaner than when I got there. I make sure to gain a pets trust before anything else, prioritizing eye contact and belly rubs. I'm very adaptable and can work with older and young, hyper animals.
“Shannon is great. Worked with us to get my dog comfortable with her, and my dog loved seeing her. We will miss her!”
“Angie came by my house to check on my cat for a few days over the holidays. She was very responsive and communicative. The pictures after her check-ins were great! I really appreciated her help and I’m sure my cat did too!”
About: 10 yrs vet hospital experience (8 yrs as a vet assistant & 2 client liaison) Why do I love pet sitting? Because they mean the world to you. I not only care about my furry friends but also their owners. My professional relationship is one you can count on. I have extensive experience with cats & dogs (among other animals). I joined the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant in 2008 at a small clinic in my hometown. I got 2 years of hands-on experience before I took the opportunity to work at the *San Francisco SPCA. I served there 2010 to 2018 as a veterinary assistant. I was promoted to client liaison & grew into other opportunities to work more with the public. In my non-work life, I have cared for: Mice, Rats, Hamsters, Chickens, Birds, Guinea Pigs, Cats, Dogs, & Horses. I thrive on interaction with both people & animals. I look forward to meeting you & your furry friend. My experience administering medication I am fully trained in subcutaneous injections & fluid administration. I am capable of giving oral medication to difficult patients. My career has led me out of the veterinary clinics and into human clinics. I love all earthlings and my skills have never faltered. I look forward to caring for your littles, your bigs, or in-betweens! I usually have plenty of time for my furry friends who need attention. I am flexible around my work schedule as my clients need me. The pet's needs come first. Keeping them safe, entertained, clean, and happy. My petcare mantra: A tired dog is a happy dog. Show a cat your devotion and they'll curl up in your lap.
“It was perfect. Sarah immediately bonded with the cats and they were relaxed when we arrived home after our holiday. So definitely five stars.”
About: Hello! If you can’t tell by our pics already, our family just love pups! We understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your pup in a new place while you’re away, but we can assure you that you’ll have peace of mind with us. We keep you updated with pics/videos and inform you how they’re doing constantly. My husband is in the military and is home for a good portion of his time, so we both do the caring at home full-time. This means your pup(s) will always have my kids and I to play/cuddle with :) and my husband to go on jogs for the pups with extra energy 🥰. We’ve cared for numerous pups ranging from puppies to seniors so we can accommodate any special requests you may have. We do not believe in caging/kenneling any dogs (unless the owner mandates it), so they are free to roam throughout the home. We’re both huge dog lovers and will ensure to provide your pup with the love and care they deserve. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to message me and I will get back to you ASAP! We do offer a pick-up and drop-off service, but only if the Carmel/Monterey area. If this is your first time using Rover, please use my promo code for $20 off your first booking! SERGIM41358, https://www.rover.com/sit/ If your booking request overlaps a holiday, the holiday rate will only be charged for the holiday weekend. The rest of the nights will be charged at our regular rate. This is something I will adjust once I receive a request because Rover’s system charges the holiday rate for the full stay. I've established a schedule that ensures each dog gets adequate attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime. Mornings typically begin with a walk, followed by feeding. Throughout the day, I run play sessions to ensure pups get the socialization and activity they need. Evenings are reserved for another walk and some relaxation time. The well-being and happiness of every dog in my care is my utmost priority, and I always strive to provide a home away from home experience for them. In my home, pets are treated as part of the family. I ensure they have a designated, comfortable space to rest and sleep. I stick to a consistent feeding schedule, always providing fresh water and food. Daily exercise, whether it's walks or playtime, is a must. Beyond their physical needs, I prioritize their emotional well-being by providing ample attention, affection, and stimulation through toys and interaction.
“Nikki checked on my two cats while I was out of town and did a great job! She was very responsive, gave me updates, and texted me pictures. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and am really missing having pets around! I’ve grown up with all sorts of dog breeds ranging from Pit Bulls to Havanese and feel comfortable around them all. I’ve also opened my home to foster dogs, embracing the joys and challenges that come with caring for both older dogs and newborn puppies. My commitment to the well-being of these animals extends beyond routine care to creating a warm and loving environment that caters to their individual needs. I have a fully remote job so I am at my house most of the day with lots of spare time for walks and cuddles. I have a fully fenced yard and live in a great very walkable neighborhood. I have space in my house for a crate and any other supplies needed to make your pet feel comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who is also a huge animal lover so rest assured your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Please note we do have stairs to get up to our unit with a large deck that gets lots of sun!
