“Jackie is absolutely amazing! She sent me updates and pictures of my baby everyday and I felt totally at ease while I was away. This was my first time using this service and I could not be more pleased. Thank you Jackie!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities and needs. I love spending time with cats, whether that means playing, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company :) I also have experience walking and pet-sitting dogs of different ages and personalities. I volunteer with Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, which has given me even more experience interacting with dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I work from home so have a flexible schedule to check in on your cat(s) or dog(s) and take your furry friends for a walk! I am very active and love to be outside, so would love to get some fresh air with your pet. I will make sure to keep your pets safe and ensure that they’re kept on their leash for walks and in their safe space at their home.
“Lisa was able to accommodate our last minute request and was very good with our fur babies! Our animals felt safe and comfortable with her. She was fast at responses and was super helpful. Would book again”
About: I grew up with animals and took on many responsibilities for taking care of them such as routinely feeding and walking the dog, feeding the cats and cleaning out their litter box, giving them medicine, and keeping them calm during drives to the vet… you name it. I have also pet sat for family friends where they relied on me to take care of their cats (feeding and playing with kittens, keeping their areas clean, etc…) I have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of your cats/dogs! I am available all throughout the week. I will take the time to make sure your pets are well-fed, exercised, looked after and whatever I can to take care of their well-being! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for pups to play and an easy going Australian shepherd to keep your dog company! I also have a fondness for cats and would love to get to look after a feline friend! I understand some cats want their space and others are more social, all are loved by me! I will make sure all pets are taken care of like they are my own, and that of course involves making sure they have adequate food and water per the owners instructions and plenty of attention!
“Angie was wonderful with my two cats while I was gone. This was my first time leaving them alone for longer than just overnight, and they adjusted well with Angie checking in on them everyday and sending updates. I came back to happy, well taken care of babes and will definitely rebook if I ever need to leave short notice again :) thanks again, Angie!!!”
“Brianna was wonderful! She was able to stay a bit longer than expected on her first night with our shy, elusive cats to make them comfortable with her. One requires taking medication twice a day - so it was essential they felt comfortable with her quickly. We were concerned our cat might not reveal herself to get her medicine (which has happened for other caregivers), but we needn’t have worried!”
About: I grew up helping friends, family and neighbors with their cats and dogs. I have taken care of small dogs and big dogs alike. I have experience with senior dogs who need more love than activity. I provide care for your furry loves based on their needs and your expectations. I’m all about quality time, snuggles and walks. Bring them to Auntie Danae for the day. You can enjoy your free time or run errands while your furry love is in the best care. 💜🐾 I work full time, and am remote on Thursdays and Fridays. I have ample time available on the weekends to provide support for your furry friend. I allow my pets on the couch, but they have multiple beds to choose from. They have access to water and are secured in the apartment. We only take walks on leash, and I have a gate to keep them secure if the front door needs to be opened. If a client requires a crate for their pet, they will need to bring it.
About: Leaving your furry family member behind shouldn't be stressful. I offer dedicated, high-tier care for animals of all ages-from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. Why choose me? Specialized Expertise: Certified in behavioral issues and separation anxiety support. Medical Peace of Mind: Fully trained in medication administration. Active Engagement: I don't just "watch" your pet; I reinforce commands and provide 1:1 love and enrichment. While you’re away, your pet isn't just supervised—they are understood, cared for, and loved. I am a full time pet sitter. I take pride in my work. I will spend the whole day playing with your pet/s, petting them, talking to them. Take them places as long as it’s safe for dogs. I am a license private security officer so my hours and days are very flexible. Perfect for pet visits and walking. Multiple drop ins if needed and perfect for pet sitting. 😊 Unfortunately I where I live I can’t have pets but when I am at client’s home the fur baby or babies are number one attention. Though! If my customers could speak, I would have more reviews than I do on here. :)
“Absolutely amazing with my kitties. My kitties are usually so shy but Jeanette won them over in no time (I think they might actually like her better then me!) Amazing communication and pictures. Absolutely wonderful at taking care of my kitties.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and now care for one dog and five cats of my own. I'm experienced, patient, and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give mine. I'm in school during the week but free after 3:30 (2:45 on Wednesdays), weekends, and all holidays. Pet care is part of my daily life, so I'll always make time for your furry friend. Your pet's comfort and safety come first with me. I keep a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I follow routines closely and make sure they feel at home.
About: I have worked with animals of all types since I was a child! We have always had dogs (German Shepherds, Queensland Healers, Havanese, Terriers) and I have learned to love and care for them all. I was also raised around horses and cats. I am a teacher during the school year and love to work with animals on the side. I am a very active person who loves to run, backpack, etc, and so I am looking to add more movement to my summer, hopefully with your dog! I have taken training classes with my own dog, and have worked with other aggressive and reactive behavior, and can take the necessary precautions if your animal struggles with the same. I love to play, snuggle and brush, and look forward to sending you lots of pictures and videos of your little one! I am a teacher on summer vacation and have all weekdays free for pet care. I have no weekday obligations and can be available to your pet as much as is needed! On walks I am careful to learn about the dogs needs and behaviors, and will happily customize our route to fit them (weather, temperature, reactivity, etc...). I am happy to come and stay with your animal in their home and space so that they can be more comfortable!

All fully available days are Sunday through Tuesday though I am available to come help with pets anytime before 3:30 pm on work days! I love to keep dogs/cats active yet comfortable! I like starting things off at a slower pace so your pet can become used to me, depending on the pet I love to provide lots of playtime and attention once your pet is comfortable. Your pets comfort and needs come first!
“I loved Andrea taking care of my cat Billy and the odd menagerie of feral cats that live at my home. She did an outstanding job. She follow the instructions carefully and was able to follow them and feed all the cats and take good care of Billy and the others. She stayed and played with Billy, which he loved. She maintained the litter robot, which is sometimes a challenge. She kept everything clean and took care of them the day I came home so I didn’t have to worry about them. I highly recommend Andrea, she is very conscientious and pays attention to detail and send pics and is really aware of how special our babies are to us and she is very good with cats. I will use her again when I attend my brother’s wedding soon.”
About: Ive been around animals all my life. Growing up we were huge dog and cat people. I still volunteer regularly at the SPCA where I spend a lot of my free time. I work full time but am available in the early mornings and evenings. I am open all weekend, I can always adjust if need be. My job is pretty flexible. I am very thorough at reading instructions, it's all in the details. I do have a fenced in yard and am willing to go out of my way for whatever you need. I'm not worried about getting my hands dirty.
About: Hi! I'm a Marine Corps Officer currently attending the Naval Postgraduate School and living in Pacific Grove. Caring for others, whether people or pets, has been a core part of my life and career. I've had animals my entire life, including both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I've taken care of old and young pets all my life! Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a dependable person to keep them safe and comfortable, I take that responsibility seriously. As a military officer for the past five years, I've built my career on discipline, integrity, accountability, and attention to detail. When you trust me with your pet, you can expect clear communication, reliability, and the peace of mind that they will be cared for as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I work hard to earn it. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available before 9:30 am daily except Thursdays! I am also available after 3 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Saturdays be Sundays are all day availability depending on weekend activities! I’ve been in the military for nearly five years and am very courteous of others belongings and homes.

“Molly took wonderful care of my two kitties, Jackson, and Jackie while we were away! She played with my outgoing cat Jackson,and even got photos of my sweet little scaredy-cat, Jackie, hiding under the tub. I felt reassured that my little ones were in good hands. I’ve already booked her again for our next trip! Thank you, Molly!🐈⬛❤️”

Sara was great. She charmed my two friendliest kitties and by the end my skittish one wasn’t running every time she visited. It was the first time I’ve ever had a non-family member watch my babies and I was super pleased. So grateful for the phots and videos and for the efforts put into putting eyes on all three of my little heathens. Would highly recommend Sara and would be happy to use again as the herd arises in the future.

Lily did exactly what I needed. My cats are simple and dont really gravitate towards humans that aren’t me haha, but she still tried to interact with them and got some photos of them. Communication was clear and she was flexible with adjusting a drop in time for me.
We just moved to town and I was anxious about hiring a cat sitter for the first time, but Janelle came over to meet our cats a few days in advance and I knew right away that they would be in great hands during my trip. She provided detailed updates after each drop in visit and plenty of photos of our cats, which reassured me that they were doing well. They warmed up to Janelle quickly and I feel so much better about traveling in the future now that I have someone I can trust to take great care of them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Monterey is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $35 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 560 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Monterey. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monterey. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
