“Javid did a wonderful job caring for my chickens and tortoise during a multi-day trip. Having reliable pet care is so important to enjoy time away from home visiting friends and family. Thank you, Javid!”
“Arlena is excellent! She follows instructions and is very dependable, and she gives cute daily updates. My cats immediately liked her which was awesome because one of them tends to be scared of new people for a few days. She takes good care of your animals and shows them love. Highly recommend!!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I've worked at multiple doggy day cares. My customers from the doggie daycares requested for me to get this app I currently work part-time so I'm available for doggie daycare or whatever you may need for the pups after 2:00 p.m. on the weekdays and weekends to whatever time you need. I will give your pet all my attention talk to them like there a little human. By the end of the day I guarantee me and your dog will be best friends.
About: Experienced with crate-trained and potty-pad-trained pets, feeding schedules, and adaptable walking paces. Patient, reliable, and committed to treating your pets with the same structured care, safety, and affection I give my own. I am an active dog owner who walks daily and understands how important it is to keep your animals on a comfortable, familiar routine while you are away. As a Navy veteran and empty nester, I bring dependability, structure, and genuine warmth to caring for your pets. My daily rhythm naturally aligns with a pet's needs—upbeat and high-energy for morning walks and playtime, and calm and grounding as the day winds down. I'm comfortable with kennels, fenced areas, open areas, and on-leash in public. I will follow your routine and add in playtime and rubs.
About: I have around 10 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. Family members and neighbors have trusted me with their babies for years, and it’s something that I enjoy as well. I have looked after dogs anywhere from puppies to senior. I know the different needs at each stage of life and am able to provide them! I am currently a full time college student but have time in between classes. I am looking for a part time job with flexible hours and something more rewarding than a retail job. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them, and would love the opportunity to take care of yours! Although, I am not offering to take care of pets in my own home as of right now, I can assist with what clients need help with in their homes. Some examples of services I can provide are walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding animals, and mild training such as walking on a leash without pulling or to sit and lay down.
About: Hi there! I currently have a cat (got him in 2020, when he was six months old!) and he is the light of my life! I go above and beyond to take care of him, and treat all animals the same way. I’m actually in college to go down the vet route :) My cousin has 2 dogs (a maltipoo + pomeranian) which I help take care of quite often! I help with walks, bathing, picking up after, playing, and giving lots of love to <3 Your pet deserves the sweetest treatment, which I am to ensure! I’m currently in college, so Saturday and Sunday work the best for overnight care! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, I only have 1 afternoon class, so I would be glad to come over late afternoon/night! In your home, I will respect your environment and keep it clean. My focus is entirely on the well being of your fur baby! <3
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m the person my friends and family trust with their pets because they know I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and patience I would give my own. I have experience with senior pets, special-needs pets, oral and injected medications, and pets with different personalities and routines. I understand how important it is to follow your instructions and keep your pet comfortable while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I work full time, but I’m very intentional about the bookings I accept and will only commit when I know I can provide your pet with reliable, attentive care. I’m an early riser and available for morning care, as well as evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule so you know exactly what to expect while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, medications, walking routine, and any special needs or preferences. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. You can also count on regular photos and updates, so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away.
About: I have been a pet owner, both dogs and cats for over 30 years. My pets have lived long, loving lives. Senior pet care has been an honor and a joy for me and my family. I am a current volunteer at an animal shelter doing what I can to help find good homes and loving families for the animals in our care. I have 2 years experience working for a non-profit cat rescue organization training volunteers to handle and clean care for the animals. There's nothing in this world that brings more joy into my life than loving on animals. I'm currently working part-time from home. I am available 7 days a week to help with your pet needs. Rest assured your pets are in good hands. I have a large, fenced in backyard and a dog park within walking distance. My senior cat can be separated in the upstairs rooms if needed.
About: I have years of experience dog sitting and working at a pet day care/hotel. I’m great at following instructions and making sure your pet’s needs are met and go above and beyond! I have experience with more stubborn walkers like my dog, Luna, and also have experience with cats. I am a student and have regular free hours in my week, so I can remain dedicated and consistent in my care! I am able to build my schedule around bookings, and have a car and ability to take public transit. I can keep you updated, follow instructions, and make sure your pet gets a lot of love! I can take dogs on long walks and/or focus on enrichment. I’m here for what your pets needs most!
“Andrea was amazing and so kind! My dogs loved staying at her place for 6 hours while we did some touristy things around the area. She’s very responsive and gave me updates and pictures throughout the time they were there. I highly recommend having her watch your dogs!!”
About: I love animals. I am an environmental science student at CSUMB and I’ve worked with animals for many years! I had a pretty set client base in my hometown and I am hoping to get some more new clients here in Monterey! I am thoughtful, kind, and will take great care of your furry friend! I will always do everything in my power to ensure your animals feels safe, cared for, and happy when I am around:-) I am a student and most of my time is spent doing homework. On days where I have clients I do everything with the animal I am with! They are the main focus and I love taking dogs with me everywhere and sitting and playing with cats. Animals have always had a liking to me. I am very knowledgeable on all types of dogs and cats so I will always ensure that they feel safe and comfortable while I am around. I do not mind dogs in my car so I will always find the time to bring them to a dog park (if the dog is able to of course) and so they can have plenty of time outside to socialize and enjoy their time with me! Cats love to snuggle with me and I will always appreciate some relaxing cat time. Both my cats are harness trained and I bring them outside quite often as well!
“Aileen was wonderful! She was readily available for my last minute request for my dog. She was able to follow all instructions and sent me videos of the visits. I’d definitely recommend her for anyone needing help with their pets.”
“Kara did an amazing job taking care of my dog and went beyond what I asked from her! She was extremely punctual and reliable. She gave helpful updates every time she dropped in. I would definitely recommend her and ask her to care for Nina again in the future!”
“Layla did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She even cleaned up a flower vase that my cat knocked over. Everything looked really clean when I got back. I would definitely book her again.”
“Fantastic sitter! Brittany was so kind, patient, and understanding with my reactive dog. She made friends with him so quickly. I knew instantly that my beloved boy and home were in great hands. 10/10”
“Elizabeth was an absolute miracle for Kona and for me. She is such a kind human, and it was immediately clear that she has an incredible capacity to care for and love the animals entrusted to her. This was my first time away from Kona since she lost her sister, and she has been noticeably more anxious since then. I was genuinely not confident I would be able to board that plane without worrying myself sick until I met Elizabeth. She immediately put me at ease. While I was gone, she was incredibly responsive and thorough. Her daily Rover cards were detailed, thoughtful, and honestly a joy to read. She is very witty, and more than once I found myself laughing at her updates. She also sent beautiful pictures that made it so obvious how much affection and attention Kona was receiving. What meant the most to me was how closely Elizabeth paid attention to Kona herself. She understood that Kona needed time and space to become comfortable, and she kept me updated as that trust gradually developed. I could see it happening in the photos and hear it in the way she described their time together. Elizabeth really cares. There is no question about that. Knowing Kona was with someone so attentive, patient, affectionate, and genuinely invested in her wellbeing gave me an enormous amount of comfort while I was away. I cannot thank her enough, and I would trust her with my little girl again without hesitation.”
“Amanda was fantastic! I highly recommend her! My dogs loved her (even my skittish one). And her communication was impeccable. I am so glad we found her. You can tell she has a true love for animals!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Marina is $25

Arlena is excellent! She follows instructions and is very dependable, and she gives cute daily updates. My cats immediately liked her which was awesome because one of them tends to be scared of new people for a few days. She takes good care of your animals and shows them love. Highly recommend!!
I have used many house sitters over the years, and none of them compare to Delila. From the very beginning, her communication was exceptional. She kept me consistently updated, responded promptly, and made it clear that my home and pets were always a priority. I never once had to wonder how things were going — she was proactive, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. Delila went above and beyond in every way. She sent frequent photos and updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It wasn’t just a quick check-in; she truly took the time to make sure everything was cared for exactly as I would have done myself — if not better. What sets Delila apart is the extra effort she naturally puts in. She doesn’t just “house sit” — she genuinely cares. My home was left immaculate, my pets were clearly happy and comfortable, and every small detail was handled with care and intention. It is rare to find someone this reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Delila exceeded every expectation, and I would not hesitate for a second to have her back. If you’re considering her, know that you are in the best possible hands.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Star! She took care of my two pugs over a long holiday weekend, and from the moment I reached out to her, I knew they were in great hands. Her communication was stellar throughout the entire time, always quick to respond and regularly checked in with updates, which made me feel so much more at ease as a nervous paw parent. What truly set her apart, though, were the amazing photos and videos she shared with me. Not only did these keep me informed on how my pups were doing, but they also captured just how much love and excitement she had for spending time with them. It was so clear that she genuinely enjoyed every moment with my pugs, and they were having a blast with her! She even went above and beyond by incorporating an extra visit into her schedule to ensure they had the attention they needed after a change in my plans. This thoughtful gesture really meant the world to me and showed how much she cares about the dogs in her care. I was initially hesitant about leaving my pups because it’s hard for me to be away from them, but thanks to Star’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warmth, I had complete peace of mind the entire time I was away. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and fun-loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you so much, Star, for taking such wonderful care of my pups. I’m beyond grateful! 💕🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marina is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $38 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 October 2026, there are 1,598 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marina. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marina. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
