“Brianna was so great to our cat while we were traveling out of town! She sent very detailed notes and kept us up to date on activities around the house during our absence. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my boys while we were away for a week. She went above and beyond in the services she provided. It put my mind at ease knowing she was here while we were on vacation. We received updates and pictures during her drop ins and I feel Cindy took care of my cats as though they were her own. Thank you for doing a wonderful job!!!”
“Ramsey did an excellent job caring for my two cats. I’d trust them with her any time. Came home to find littler boxes and food bowls clean. I can tell she played with the cats during the drop in visits. Thanks, Ramsey!”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a special education teacher who has summers off, and I’m looking for a fun way to spend my time out in the community doing something I love—caring for animals! As a lifelong animal lover and dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I also love cats and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re gone. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend this summer! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your pets! 🐶🐱💕 During July, I teach summer school, so I’m available anytime after 12 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. In August, my schedule becomes much more flexible, allowing for additional daytime availability. Once the school year begins, I’ll primarily be available on weekends and for evening/late-night care. As a teacher and animal lover, I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I treat every pet as if they were my own! In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I know consistency is important for pets, so I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. In my home, pets receive a safe, clean, and loving environment. I have experience with both dogs and cats and understand that every animal has different needs and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care that makes them feel most comfortable
About: I have been helping take care of dogs and cats since I was 12. My neighbors growing up relied on me to walk, feed, play and care for their pets. I have done multiple month long stays at homes to care for multiple pets. I love going on walks and runs myself and adding a furry friend just makes it so much better. I also grew up with a dog and now have two kitties of my own that I rescued. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, because I know that is what I would want :) I am a waitress/bartender so my work schedule is mostly at night, so I am available to take care of your furry friends during the day! I will be sure to leave your place exactly how I found it! If wanted, I would love to take your dog to dog parks or state parks. I will play with your cats and know how to keep kitties engaged as if they were hunting in the wild!
About: I'm very dependable and energetic. I have lots of experience and am very responsible. I take good care of things not just the pets. I'm a good communicator. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I recently graduated from Lake Country Lutheran HS and finished my first year of College in AZ. Currently taking a year off so I have plenty to take care of your pets. Available Monday-Wednesday during the week and weekends. I will come play, exercise, feed, walk, keep your furry pet company and any other things your pet requires. I have a car to easily get there and take care of your pet.
“Joey was wonderful! Our kitten got sick the night before we left and Joey was able to change her plans and give our kitten all of her medications. She was very well taken care of and eased our minds while gone! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 5, my sister is a vet and I always have access to ask her any questions if something were to ever happen, I hope to own my own hobby farm one day! I recently accepted a new nail technician position in Richfield, and my current work hours will be Monday 11 to 6, Friday 11 to 6 and Saturday 9 to 4 starting July 6th over time I will be adding in more days. Any questions please ask! For my own pets I have a fenced in yard for them, I wash there faces and paws everyday, I feed them and bath them. I follow any instructions given to me by a clients, weather its about dietary restrictions, exercise requirements, meds etc
“Jenna was fantastic with our 3 dogs for daily check-in visits. She has a great personality and is very timely and professional in her work. We'd definitely use her again for dog sitting and highly recommend her!”
About: Hey there! I’ve grown up with dogs and had lots of cats all of my life! I would be happy to help you out with your loved family members! I’m great with drop ins, as well as staying at your house for overnights. I have availability every day, except for Tuesday and Wednesdays. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance with your fur babies! ❤️ Pet care fits into my routine because I only work Tuesday Wednesdays. I don’t mind dropping in to say Hi to pets, let them out, or take them for a walk. I care for your pet as if they were my own💕 pets are part of our family!!!!! I have 2 dogs of my own which mean the world to us!
About: I have raised and cared for many animals throughout my lifetime ranging from dogs, cats, kittens, cows, raccoons, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish! There is no animal too big, small, or sassy for me! I love them all! I have experience with bottle fed, new born animals, pets with different feeding patterns in the same house, delivering medicine to pets (including via syringe), outdoor supervision, and caring for temperamental animals. My own dogs are a pitbull and Doberman respectively, so I know firsthand that a breed or size does not define an animal! I am here to provide exceptional care to your fur babies regardless of shape, size, age, or attitude! I work various part-time jobs around the Mount Horeb/Middleton area, but would almost always be available for morning, afternoon, and evening care! If planned a few days in advance, I can accommodate most needs! I believe in following instructions carefully, especially when it comes to animals. While I strive to create a relationship with the animals I care for, my main priority is to listen to the advice and instructions of the pet parents to ensure I am prepared and aware of their pet’s unique characteristics and needs. Nobody knows an animal like their owner, and I am dedicated to doing as told when it comes to animals—especially considering the trust the owners have in me!
“Our cats were so happy when we returned from our trip! Thank you so much Shannon for your sweetness, professionalism, and fantastic care for our two kitties. They were still looking for you when we got home, to play!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years! I had dogs growing up and I have my own cat now. I also have my own turtle! I work full time but am able to let dogs out depending on distance throughout the day. I am more than willing to spend quality time with your animal! I am able to stay/visit at houses to support your pet. I am unable to bring cats or dogs into my house due to my cat being a solo cat (her preference).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 957 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monterey. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
