“Yerim took great care of our cat during a long trip we had and precisely followed all the notes we left her. She even took care of a few plants we had as well. We are glad to be back home, but we are also looking forward to the next time she can provide wonderful care for our cat again!”

About: I’ve been providing pet care services for nearly four years through Rover, originally under a different account. My love for animals goes back to childhood; I’ve been around and caring for pets since I was five years old. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience with puppies, senior dogs, and even pets with special needs such as blindness or deafness. Altogether, I’ve had the privilege of caring for well over 100 pets, and I approach each one with genuine attention, patience, and compassion. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I typically only need to go into the office once a week, or sometimes every other week, which gives me the flexibility to be home and present with pets most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency in their care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if any), and house rules are followed carefully so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for.

About: Pleasure to meet you! I go by the name Kay! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own and have spent my life caring for variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and snakes. Growing up in a family involved in pet care (dog grooming, pet sitting, and boarding), I learned early on that every animal has its own personality, needs and routine. That experience has given me confidence working with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m passionate about animal health, happiness, and building trust with every pet I meet. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra patience, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time. Bonus: in addition to pet care, I’ve also photographed pets for charitable causes and past non-profit animal shelters. That has taught me more about working patiently with animals and making them comfortable in new situation. Weekends: I am available for dog walks and drop in visits Most Weekdays: Depending on availability. I have regular clients that I take care of outside of Rover I work hybrid and get every other Friday off. My calendar is up to date to ensure I could fully accept and commit to your pet/family member. When caring for pets in client’s home, I respect your space and follow your routines exactly as requested. I will double check all locks, gates, doors, and ensure there is provided fresh water. I will share photos and updates so you have peace of mind of how they are doing. At home, I live in an apartment complex where both my dogs are crate trained and following a structure routine. I ensure a safe and comfortable space for the both of them.

Our youngest cat, Mickey, has special needs (some kind of PTSD) and Saul is always very sweet and patient with him. We booked him this time as an emergency situation as we had to leave in the next two days and he was able to accommodate us. I cannot recommend him enough!”

About: From small, shy cats to big, boisterous dawgs, I provide detail-oriented, specialized care by applying my former experience as a data scientist and my boundless stamina gained from my hobbies in various martial arts and combat sports. I have experiences working in both dog-specific and cat-specific boarding facilities. I have also administered care to cats including oral(pill, syringe) and ear medication as well as inhalers. I've have a love for dogs since childhood and learned to love cats as well, through helping an extra spicy cat grow into a cuddly, purr-filled one. I'm available for Drop-in Visits on Saturday from 9am-11pm. Wednesday availability is 9am-5pm. Friday availability is 1pm-11pm. Please reach out for any questions! The safety of your pet is my priority! Awareness and avoidance(as needed) of other people or dogs on walks, clearing and watching out for certain foods, plants, materials etc. that are unsafe for consumption, double and triple checking locks and that doors are properly closed, especially on entry and exit. My first mission with your pet will be to ensure safety and build trust so that they know that I am their temporary caregiver and permanent friend!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 2022, when I realized that I was not in a place to have my own dog/cat. So, I decided to help out others with their pet sitting needs, to provide a service as well as be around furry friends again! It truly is something that brings me much joy, and I love every opportunity I get to hang out with dogs and cats alike. I currently work during the day with a mixture of weekday/weekend days, so I let the dogs out after an 8-hour shift. If the dog needs to go out more than that, I will try to be as flexible as possible to adhere to your needs. For my client’s home, I understand that I am residing in someone else’s space, so treat it as such. I believe the dog/cat is most comfortable in their regular setting, this maintain all cleanliness and care for the home included in my price.

“The kitties were well fed and happy with Celine. The only problem was the litter box not cleaned properly. The large amount of gunky potent urine became very malodorous and attracted several gnats. It was difficult to scrape up the litter upon our return because it was one giant wet heavy clump stuck to the entire front, side and bottom of the box. I think maybe she only scooped the poopoos out and didn’t quite understand. I realize litter is not an easy chore and appreciate the effort.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and loved taking care of them growing up and have always had a soft spot for all types of animals. I’ve had quails, cats, lovebirds, and dogs. I currently have two sneaky little cats. Working from home has it upsides and downsides! It gets boring being cooped up all day! I make sure to keep my days interesting and find that going on walks or meeting new cute pets keeps me sane! I have a been a pet sitter for my whole family when they are away from home varying from kitties, doggos, to birds. I have come to realize that furry friends are my favorite types of friends!

“We have been hiring Ashley for a few drop in visits before she house sits for us and we are very happy with our choice of sitter! Our pup is very shy and very attached to us and it’s good to know he will be well taken care of by a very patient and understanding sitter. She’s very punctual; when she says she’ll be somewhere at a certain time, you know she will be there on time and that any specific instructions you give her will be followed perfectly. She’s also been very flexible with making last minute drop ins to get to know our pup a little before our trip. She also is a great communicator which puts our mind at ease when it comes to leaving our pup. Very happy with the services Ashley has been providing!!”

She is an excellent communicator, always letting me know exactly how my puppy did, what commands they practiced, and when she arrives/leaves. I have peace of mind that my puppy is in great hands when I’m nor there. I love that she helps him practice leash-walking and his commands, plays with toys, and even sets up developmentally-appropriate games with him.”

We had a good experience with Akiera while we were away on vacation. She was friendly and engaging with our cats, making an effort to get to know them and interact with them during her visits. She provided photos and updates throughout our trip and also helped bring in packages. We appreciated having someone check in on our kitties each morning and make sure they were cared for while we were away!

Mel was such a blessing to us! She helped us out in several last-minute situations while we were staying at an RV resort in Orange, and we’re so grateful we found her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Winston was with someone who was trustworthy, reliable, caring, and genuinely kind. She took wonderful care of him, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We would absolutely love to have Mel watch Winston again the next time we’re in the area. It’s such a great feeling knowing that when we come back, we have someone we can depend on. Thank you so much for everything, Mel! ❤️🐾

Dhalia was an absolute dream to work with! I was a bit nervous because I had never used a drop in service before but Dhalia’s professionalism and willingness calmed my nerves. I felt safe with her in the AirBnB with all the unexpected dog activity near Biscuit. Biscuit isn’t a cuddler in general and to hear that she felt comfortable enough to hang as such with Dhalia was a testament to how well she was with anxious pets. I LOVED her report card they were so detailed and all the pictures and videos of her wiggly little butt were soooo awesome. If I am ever in the area again with Biscuit I will 💯 will be using her again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Olive

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Olive is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $47 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 November 2026, there are 14,647 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Olive. 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 Olive. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.

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.
