“Brenae was very helpful during the birth of my daughter—we booked her in advance on our babies due date and my wife ended up giving birth a week early and with same day notice Brenae stepped in to help take care of our cats. Our cats were well fed and taken care of while we were away. We will be sure to book Brenae again!”
About: Hi there, I’m Jess! I’m a Santa Barbara local with 8 years of pet sitting experience and worked at a local vets office for 4 of those years where I gained experience with administering medications. I have sat dogs of all sizes, cats, and even birds! Your pets will be in caring, experienced hands - no matter their size or species! My devotion to pet care is easily incorporated into my daily schedule as a committed full-time student. To make sure I have enough time for good pet care, I place a high priority on organized study sessions. I will schedule daily walks, playtime, and feedings so that your pets will get the love, care, and company they deserve! I am willing and able to follow any special needs that your pet might have, I have plenty of experience administering medications, and dealing with operation anxiety. I enjoy sending photos and videos to pet parents as updates. I adapt to their familiar surroundings, maintaining routines and offering companionship. Rest assured, I'm committed to creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience tailored to your pet's unique needs.
“We had a family emergency and had to travel to the east coast after adopting our new puppy. Chelsi checked in on her, played with her and made sure she felt comfortable before leaving. Chelsi was super responsive, sent photos and always made sure to check in. We appreciated her care so much and will def book her again if given the opportunity. Thank you!!”
“Alissa watched our cat for a little over a week while we were out of town and was so wonderful! She’s very reliable and communicative and gave our cat so much love while we were away. Most importantly, our cat seemed to really like her as well :)”
“Karah was amazing with my sweet Peach! Karah was consistent in coming at the right time, she played with Peach, followed all the directions I asked of her, even cleaned the food bowls, and took pictures everyday for me to see. Just knowing Peach was in good hands made my trip more fun not having to worry about her. If you need a sitter Karah should be at the top of your list. Highly recommend!”

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
