“Don was great with both my dog, Neko, and my Cat, Teri. He sent videos regularly and keep me informed about Neko and especially how Teri were doing. Also, Don went out of his way to care for Teri, my cat. Teri has kidney disease and requires hydration with a saline solution every day. Don was wonderful with Teri by injecting the solution under his skin. This was accomplished by placing a needle under Teri's loose skin and slowly allowing the saline solution to flow under his skin. Don is very personable and I recommend him very highly for caring for your pet.”
About: Hi, I’m Cristina, a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet parent, and quite possibly your pet’s new favorite auntie 😉🐾 Animals have always been part of my life, but some of my most meaningful experiences came these last 9 years in India (Nov-Jan) where caring for street animals became part of my everyday life. I’ve rescued animals, cared for dogs who were sick or injured, navigated unexpected situations, and more than once shared my home and my bed with a street dog who simply needed somewhere safe to land. Those experiences taught me something I carry with me daily the knowing that animals need more than someone who feeds them and takes them for a walk. They need to feel safe. Feeling safe = feeling loved & ability to trust. I seem to have a natural connection with animals, and even shy or uncertain pets often become comfortable with me quickly. I’m calm, patient, and affectionate, and I pay attention to the little things such as their personality, their signals, their routines, and what makes them feel secure. When your pet is with me, there will be plenty of walks, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also happy to bathe them, prepare their food, or cook special meals when needed. Most importantly, I follow your instructions. I’ll love your animal as if they were my own while always respecting the routines and boundaries you’ve established. And if something unexpected happens? I don’t panic. Years of caring for animals in all kinds of circumstances have taught me to stay calm, assess the situation, and take appropriate action. To me, pet sitting isn’t simply watching someone’s animal. It’s giving you the peace of mind that while you’re away, someone is there who genuinely cares. Part pet whisperer, part guardian angel, all heart. Experienced enough for the unexpected. Loving enough for the everyday. I specialize in overnight pet sitting in your home, allowing your pets to stay happy and comfortable in the place they know best — their own home. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for overnight stays during the week, on weekends, or for longer stays while you’re traveling. While I’m caring for your pets, I do my best to maintain the routine they already know and love. Meals, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime rituals and morning routines are all followed according to your instructions. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants and keep an eye on your home while you’re away. I love being outdoors, so dogs who enjoy their walks will have a willing companion! And if your pet is more of a “let’s stay home and cuddle on the sofa” type, I’m very good at that job too. 🐾 My goal is simple: you enjoy your time away knowing your pets are loved, your home is cared for, and everything is waiting for you just as you left it. I believe the best place for your fur babies while you’re away is often the place where they already feel safest… at home. That’s why all of my pet sitting and overnight care happens in your home. Your pets get to sleep in their own beds, eat in their familiar spot, take their usual walks and wake up surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells they know. This can be especially comforting for anxious or shy pets, senior animals, newly adopted pets, rescue animals, or simply those who don’t do well with boarding or changes in their environment. Rather than asking your pet to adjust to my world, I step into theirs. I follow the routines and boundaries you’ve created, while giving them plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, walks and reassuring presence. And because I stay overnight, they have someone there to tuck them in at night and greet them in the morning. You get to travel. They never lose the comfort of home. Less disruption. Less anxiety. Lots of love ❤️
“Crystal did a 4 night cat and-house sitting job for us She did a wonderful job looking after our cat Winston and sent photos everyday. It was nice to have the peace of mind that our home and fur baby were well cared for while we were out of town. We will be booking Crystal again. Thank you for a positive first experience using the Rover app”
“Joe was great! My dog took to him very quickly at the meet and greet but after a last minute change of plans to bring her, he was able to pivot and care for my cats instead. I really appreciated his flexibility and when I returned I realized he was also wonderful w/ cats! I didn’t get any cattitude from them at all. I received pics and updates regularly and came home to a clean happy house. I’d use him again in a heartbeat.”
“My large rambunctious dog loves Joy. Joy walked and snuggled both my boys. Received daily walk emails, updates and pictures on a small medical issue that Joy monitored for us and lots of pictures.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies who need extra patience and structure to older dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or a little more reassurance. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic commands, crate routines, administering simple medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always want them to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. Thank you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already prioritize time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be consistent and dependable, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. I enjoy spending time outdoors, taking walks, and having animals nearby, so caring for pets feels like a natural and enjoyable part of my day. I am also flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, medications, exercise, and bedtime habits. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you are away. Thank you! Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar, comfortable, and stress, free as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, walking schedules, medication needs, bathroom routines, crate preferences, and household rules carefully. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and a safe, welcoming environment. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest and never feel overlooked or alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focused on helping their pet feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love I would give my own. Thank you!
About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.
“As usual, Christine was amazing. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our little one. We always feel like we can relax when she is at our house. We get regular phone and video updates. Our Roxy loves when Christine takes her for walks. Christine is very sweet and super clean. We always come back to a house looking a bit better than when we left. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Yaneth was so great with our pup. She sat with our anxious boy for a night out while we were visiting the Coachella valley for the weekend. She sent us a sweet pic and we returned to a happy, sleepy dog. :)”

I’m very sensitive to the needs of pets and take my responsibilities very seriously. Your pets will be in good hands!
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, caring for dogs and cats for over 25 years. I’m naturally a "pet magnet" and connect easily with animals, whether they’re tiny Morkie-Poos or energetic Boxers. I take pride in being extremely reliable when it comes to precise feeding schedules, walk routines, and clean-up. Most importantly, I offer a gentle, loving environment where your pets feel completely safe, comfortable, and pampered while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. After 5pm, I am free Friday night, all day Saturday and All day Sunday. Perfect for folks that need a sitter when they leave somewhere for the weekend. When caring for pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I strictly follow your customized care routine, from precise feeding schedules to walk preferences and house rules. I make sure all doors, gates, and entryways stay secure at all times, keeping your pets safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar environment while you're away.
“This was the first time we used Tawny and we were very impressed. We have somewhat challenging circumstances, with 2 English Mastiffs and a few cats, but Tawny handled everything with aplomb, and all of the pets really took to her. She definitely deserves a 5-star rating.”

As of August 2026, there are 318 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mecca. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mecca walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mecca maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mecca choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mecca. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
