“First time having Denise watch after my kitty who hadn't spent a night apart from me in 2 years, so I was concerned how it would go. But it seems Denise bonded quickly with my kitty and sent me photos during every visit which was much appreciated.”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life and have had experiences with many dogs with different needs. I have taken care of not only my own, but friends and families dogs for years.

However, I am available any time in the mornings until 3:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.Wednesdays I am available any time and Fridays I am available anytime after 12.I am also available to book any time on the weekends as well.

“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!”
“Mallory was wonderful. She responded immediately and came to meet us. She was very flexible in accommodating our needs. Millie, our dog loved her. We were able to spend a day away without worrying about the dog. I would recommend her highly.”
“Natalie is an amazingly attentive, caring, kind and fun care person for our healthy but aging kitties Harry and Ginny. Natalie‘s communication is prompt, professional and conscientious. We are repeat clients of Natalie’s and are looking forward to continue working with her in the future. I would give her 10 stars if the app would let me. Thank you Natalie and Rover 🙏🏼”
“Elizabeth was fantastic and great with communication! I appreciated her approach to making new clients feel comfortable with her! She did great with my shy cat too! I would recommend her any day :)”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. I have a wide range of experience across many breeds. My wife is a vetrinary technician, our family is very knowledgable and encourages all types of pets. I am currently on parental leave and my schedule is highly flexible. Willing to accomadate a wide range of schedules and requests. Mornings and afternoons work best for me! I am more than happy to help with any house sitting tasks or requests. I have 2 dogs of my own (a golden retriever and a minature dachshund)that would be more than happy to keep your dogs company on walks!
About: Hello my name is Rubi! I am the owner of two beautiful cats. I have own cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. For all of my life. Giving me the experience of older and younger cats and dogs. From handling young pups and kittens to hand feeding senior cats and dogs. I am available all of sunday-wednesday! I am a Pacific Grove local! my energy is very flexible, I love to go for a long walks and be energetic for the hyper dogs and cats out there! I am also very calm to the approach if I face a timid pet. I love to go over routines as well as getting to know your pet before any alone time so we know everyone is safe and comfortable.
About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.
“Nicole checked in on my three elderly dogs. She took great care of them while I was out and made sure Tally got her afternoon medication. During the visit she sent updates and photos, and asked clarifying questions since this was the first visit. Nicole also left the house in perfect condition and made sure the house was locked up when she left. I look forward to having her take care of my dogs again.”
About: Dogs are truly a humans best friend.🥰We enjoy taking them for walks, (helps keep us in shape😁) playtime and just bonding with them. When we needed sitters for our pup years ago, we appreciated our sitter checking in with us. We feel communicating with our neighbors, gives us all peace of mind. So if it’s ok with you, we will send a picture, or video to assure you that your pup is safe and sound. We have more time now, to enjoy God’s creation and do things that bring us real joy. We absolutely love and appreciate the gift of life and enjoy caring for and bonding with all types of animals. Whether at the park, or at the beach, dogs tend to gravitate towards my husband and I. (They obviously feel our ‘love for dogs’ vibe.🥰) We have 4 grand pets we love dearly and look forward to their visits, but when they go home, we love on everyone else’s pets, lol. We decided to start pet sitting again part time, to help fill that void.🫠 We prefer sitting at your home, so your pet feels comfortable and less stressed while you’re away, but we also don’t mind entertaining them at our home for the day. If so, it would be helpful if they’re crate-trained, in case we have to step away for a little while. It is of upmost importance to us, to see that your pet is safe and happy under our care. We love to spoil and treat them as if they were our own, so beware, they tend to not want us to leave.🥰
About: I have always had dogs in my life and can't imagine it without them! I currently have a 5 and a half year old Doberman who is my world! I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy getting to know each pet's personality so I can give them the best care suited to them. My goal is to make any pet feel calm, loved and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! My schedule is very flexible, so I'm able to meet most scheduling needs. I can adjust to whatever the environment may be. If there is a fenced yard, great, if not we can figure out what the best option is!
“Denise did an awesome job for us. She followed instructions to the letter and Bree was one happy canine while we were out. We'll def8nitely be using Denise again for our canine sitting needs!”
About: Aside from raising my own 2 fur babies ( 2 kitties now), I’ve helped take care of others’ pets from large Dobermans to small kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter primarily walking and socializing with the big dogs. I lost my senior cat Meemow and senior dog Harley this year (both 15). As my title states, I’m an RN and am very comfortable with giving medications to fur babies (as I do with humans) as well as taking care of any illness issues within reason (wound care/ monitoring / accidents). When it comes to senior care of animals, I understand the need for them to get extra special love and attention, and medication to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. I believe in making pets as comfortable as possible and letting them know that I’m there to help and give love (if they want). When it comes to dog walking, I’m really vigilant about our surroundings and making sure that dogs get a good safe walk. I definitely gravitate towards animals over humans haha. I work part-time out of town, and so I have a lot of time spent at home with my own animals. I want to spend my time I have to help others too (hence also my volunteering at the animal shelter right now to). I prefer to spend time with pets as much as allowed in their home while also following routines previously set for them. Whether it’s playing out in the back yard, or just hanging out together on the couch or floor and relaxing, I like the pet to know that I’m there and not alone. If crating is necessary or part of the dogs routine, I can do that too.
“Mari is very professional and communicative. I was gone for 5 days and my cat quickly warmed up to her. I didn't worry about him at all while he was in her care. Thank you, Mari :)”
About: I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a holiday trip, I’m super flexible and happy to help whenever you need me. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and exercise with regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. And, of course, I’ll send you cute photo updates so you can feel close to them even when you’re away. Your pets will be in great hands with me! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s walking or playing fetch with dogs on the beach, playing with cats, or providing companionship, I always ensure pets receive the care and attention they need. My partner’s large, lovable five-year-old black Labrador is a big part of my life too, and I treat him as my own—feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with him—fitting him into my day whenever I can. I’m flexible and always happy to adjust to each pet's specific needs, ensuring they’re comfortable and well-loved while you’re away. Pet care is a responsibility I take seriously and with joy! When caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I make sure the environment is pet-proofed and safe, removing any potential hazards and creating a cozy, relaxing space where pets can feel at home. When it comes to walks, I keep dogs on a leash and stay alert to their surroundings, making sure they're safe and happy. I also stick to their routine, whether it’s feeding or playtime, so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I aim to make every pet feel like part of the family during their time with me.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pacific Grove
Sara did a great job on a last-minute request. Our original sitter had to unexpectedly cancel and Sara stepped in and saved us! As usual they handled my two felines with care and compassion. Them was able to manage Leo's new medication and all the other details of the drop in visits.
Natalie was wonderful from the moment I inquired about her availability. I had a last-minute request, and she kindly accommodated my needs. My cat had just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and I was very worried about leaving her with a sitter, but I couldn't easily cancel my trip. Natalie was a blessing; she didn't mind giving my cat her medication twice a day, sent me detailed updates, and answered all my questions promptly. I'd definitely book her again. Highly recommend!
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.

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.

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.
