About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’m the lady who crosses the street to ask if I can pet your dog. I love all dogs, but big dogs have my heart. I confess, I’m also the lady that will remember your dog’s name, age and origins, but perhaps not always your name. Although I have the confidence and experience to befriend your big dogs, that shouldn’t suggest that I don’t love our smaller friends, as well. Big and small, I love them all❣️ I’ve been responsible for animals most of my life. Chiefly, I’ve had the privilege to care and own big dogs. Growing up, we had a Sheppard-Mastiff mix, and that’s when my love for big dogs began. In our house, we had a macaw, cockatoo, kākāriki, ring-necked parakeet, and a cockatiel, tropical/ saltwater fish, dogs, and cats. I continue to be a proud breed ambassador and have owned 4 Rottweilers over the years. I’ve been gainfully employed as a civil servant for 25 years. After my last Rottweiler passed away, I wanted to care for a dog again, but haven’t adopted quite yet. I enjoy hiking, outdoor activities, walking and traveling, and of course dogs! I’ve had the privilege to care for our misunderstood and sometimes reactive dog friends, as well. All dogs deserve love. I helped welp Belgian Malinois puppies and ensure they found loving, deserving homes. I joke that, “If the choice was between world peace or puppies, I would choose puppies.” I can’t wait to meet your doggie! Since I’m a civil servant, my schedule is consistent. I have free nights and 3-day weekends. I enjoy a lot of free time that I would like to fulfill with dogs. I have a secured, fenced yard. I can also kennel your pets as well. My responsibility to you is ensuring your family member is secure in my charge.
“Blake is wonderful, and you can tell she truly loves animals. My cat liked her right away, which made me feel comfortable, too. She responded quickly, was able to check in the next day, and made communication easy throughout. I highly recommend Blake and will definitely book her again soon!”
About: I’ve been caring for friends and neighbors dogs for years now. I’ve never had the opportunity to have a dog myself so I live vicariously through taking care of others dogs! I’m currently a college student and I’m available to work weekends and even nights. Right now I’m on summer break so my availability is pretty open! I’m very flexible with what is best for the dog/for the client in their home. I’ll make sure the dog won’t be able to get out and will keep a watchful eye.
“So happy to have found Laura! We needed someone to come to our home multiple times a day for a weekend to care for our two dogs. One of our dogs is pretty anxious so it was ideal that we had someone calm and caring and Laura is just that! She was very communicative, easy to interact with, and most importantly, my dogs loved her! Laura will definitely be our first pick for any dog care needs. ❤️”
“Gina is such a reliable and responsible person who provides excellent care to my cats! She is very communicative and always helps me feel at ease when I travel. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: I’m a Santa Rosa/Sonoma County local and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats of all personalities. We have an easygoing outdoor cat of our own who we absolutely adore, so I understand that cats like their routines, their space, and affection on their own terms! 🐱❤️ I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, outdoor/indoor routines, and of course plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cat while you’re away, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience and care I give my own. I’m fortunate to have a flexible full-time job and work from home a few days a week, with the ability to work remotely longer when needed. This gives me plenty of flexibility to pop in and check on your pets throughout the day. I’m also free most weekends and never work past 5 PM Monday–Friday, so I can easily make time for walks, feedings, check-ins, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own, whether I’m caring for them in their home or welcoming them into mine. I have a fenced yard and a pet-friendly home where their comfort and safety come first. To me, animals are family and deserve to be treated with love, patience, attention, and plenty of affection.
“I’ve used Julie a few times now and I can say with confidence that she is taking great care of my big crazy pup! I get the best photos that show me how much fun he is having when she visits him. I don’t trust too many people to have the skills needed to take care of our big guy, but Julie fits the bill! Thanks Julie for sending such fun pupdates!”
“Michael is highly responsive, reliable, and a clear communicator. He’s gentle and caring with my 9-year-old, deaf (but energetic) cocker spaniel. I feel like we’re in good hands.”

In Sacramento, I had long-standing clients, averaging over five years. Now, I'm eager to build a wonderful clientele and create a family of furry nieces and nephews!

Pet Care Availability I can accommodate pet care on my days off, which are Wednesday through Saturday. I work three 10-hour shifts each week, so I can offer brief drop-in visits on those days, but they will be late in the evening. Ideally, the four days I can cover are the ones mentioned. I take great pride in ensuring your pets are both safe and cherished while you're away. I make certain that your home remains secure, inform you of any behavioral or health changes, and provide them with clean water and fresh food, and administer medications. I will bring the mail in, water indoor and outdoor plants, and am happy to discuss any other tasks you may require.
“Amanda was so sweet and we are so grateful she kept our little feline company while we were away. She played with her and refreshed food/water, cleaned out the litter, AND offered to sweep up the floor outside the litter box. She was fabulous!”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have had many pets all of my life. My dogs are not just pets but members of the family. I have had many dogs over the years ranging from cockapoo’s, terriers, Westies, a German Shepherd and yellow Labs. I have also had 5 cats. My current dog and cat are best friends! I care for many friends and neighbor dogs and have play dates on a daily basis. Dogs are always on the guest list for dinner parties or holiday gatherings and have gifts under the tree. If I had a bigger yard, I’d have a dozen. I would love to meet and spoil your dog while you were away. I will treat them like my own and we will have a great time together. After retiring from my long term job, I became a caregiver for family members. I enjoy walking so thought this would be a perfect fit for getting more exercise and fill my love of having multiple dogs. I have availability in between caring for people and would love to take your dog for a walk. I will care for your pets as my own in your home and a walk. If there is any special requests or instructions, I will happily follow.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them attention and comfort, I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I currently have flexible availability for walks and drop-in visits. I’m available on weekdays after my work hours and weekends I’m available all day , and will do my best to accommodate different schedules whenever possible.

I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always prioritize safety, communication, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
About: I’ve worked at an emergency veterinary hospital, I have CPR training from there as well as an understanding on how to provide first aide to pets.

I have my B.S in Animals Science, and will be graduating with my Master’s in Zoology in Dec 2026. I have experience working and handling small dogs and dogs up to 110lbs. I also have experience medicating dogs up to 110lbs. I am full time employed, because of this I am usually available for two a day check ins, before and after work.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hessel
Lexi was amazing! We hired her last minute to do drop-ins for our dog and cats while we were away for 3 days and hired her to do a couple of walks throughout the stay. She updated me with pictures so I knew when the pets were fed and my dog was brought in for the night. My dog looked so happy on his walks too. Awesome sitter.
This should really be at least 10 stars. Julie is a true professional. She clearly loves animals and orivided such loving care. Iline if the most difficult things anout my recent move to California was finding care for the cats when we travel. Pip especially needs extra TLC and must be medicated daily. Julie quickly got through the business of the day and spent some quality time each day with the “kids.” Couldn’t be happier!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 731 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hessel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
