About: Hi! I’m Ashley, a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 12 years of experience caring for animals, including extensive experience in emergency and critical care. Animals are quite literally my life—both professionally and at home! Because of my veterinary background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, puppies, large breeds, shy or nervous pets, and animals with medical needs. I’m experienced with administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and handling pets safely and patiently. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to send plenty of pictures and updates, follow your pet’s normal routine, and give them the same attention and affection I’d want someone to give my own. Whether your dog wants a good walk and some playtime, your senior pet needs a little extra TLC, or you simply need someone dependable to check in while you’re away, I’d love to help. ❤️ I work a set veterinary schedule, which gives me several days each week available for pet care. My availability varies by week, but I’m able to accommodate daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and some weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 12 years of experience, I’m trained to recognize changes in behavior or health and am comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. In your home, I will closely follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and any household safety requirements. I’m experienced with fearful, anxious, senior, and medically complex pets and believe in patient, gentle handling. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Emilie was very responsive and took good care of our cat Lenny! I felt confident he was in good hands. Emilie left the place neat and tidy and was easy to reach and communicate with. I would use Emilie again!”

“Yuliya went above and beyond for my babies! She does not rush to leave, made sure to communicate anything necessary, followed directions, and our cats look very happy in all the photos she sent. Definitely recommend”
About: I work as a veterinary assistant ( an unlicensed veterinary technician) at a local veterinary clinic and have been in the field for the last ten years. I graduated in 2012 from Shasta College with a associates in veterinary technology. Previous to that I have owned my own dogs and cats and volunteered at the local shelter where I grew up, as well as working as a dog walker. Animals are my passion and their care is my number one goal. I can give any medications needed including injections, and am able to prep any special needs diets. For house sitting I am able to water gardens or lawns, collect mail and some basic house cleaning. I currently have a senior black lab border collie cross named Tank and a young cat named Queen Sparkles. I currently work full-time at a local veterinary clinic, which gives me a consistent routine. My professional schedule allows me to be available for boarding and house-sitting on weekends, as well as afternoon and evening visits on weekdays starting after 6:00 PM. For drop-ins and walks, I typically operate within a 1-to-2-hour window of your preferred time to ensure every pet gets the focused attention they deserve. While I am often home, I ask that pets be comfortable staying alone for up to 4 hours so I can tend to other clinic duties or errands." As a Veterinary Assistant with 15 years of experience, safety is my absolute highest priority. My clinical background means I am trained to read animal body language, identify early signs of illness or distress, and respond effectively in emergency situations. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard and use slow, supervised introductions with my own pets when boarding to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether in your home or mine, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment and strictly follow all feeding, medication, and leash-safety protocols. You can expect consistent photo and text updates so you never have to worry about your pet’s well-being.
About: I’m a 22 year old college graduate looking to fulfill her hopes of pet setting once again! Being a full time student meant busy weeks, leaving no time for pet care. Something I actively did before transferring to UCSC. But with this newfound, post-graduate freedom, I’m eager to get back into the gig. Besides caring for my own kitties, I’ve worked with 7 clients over the past four years. All of which have been dog sitting gigs, with one job including an additional 3 cats (if that makes sense haha). And in my time as a sitter I’ve had four consistent clients. Additionally, I’m more than willing to sit for most dogs/ cats regardless of age, size, energy level, etc. It is my job (and such a privilege) to ensure their needs are met! Worth a mention - I’ve not had any experience in pet training, but I’m committed to being the best companion to the little loves! I can’t wait to connect with you and your fur-babies! I’m hoping to fill my week days (which are fairly open as of late) with pet care! Connecting with animals is truly such a rewarding job. Knowing I can make your life easier, and also that your pets are happy fills my heart with oodles of joy. My housing agreement unfortunately states that I can’t allow pets on to the premises. However, I’m extremely comfortable staying in/ visiting other spaces. Being respectful of your space is one of my top priorities.
About: I have years of experience dog sitting and working at a pet day care/hotel. I’m great at following instructions and making sure your pet’s needs are met and go above and beyond! I have experience with more stubborn walkers like my dog, Luna, and also have experience with cats. I am a student and have regular free hours in my week, so I can remain dedicated and consistent in my care! I am able to build my schedule around bookings, and have a car and ability to take public transit. I can keep you updated, follow instructions, and make sure your pet gets a lot of love! I can take dogs on long walks and/or focus on enrichment. I’m here for what your pets needs most!
“Sara did a great job for their first drop-in engagement with Leo and Phoebe. They followed directions well, including play time, administering medication, feeding, litter box hygiene and sending me updates. They were easy to communicate with and helped to transition Leo to new food and medication while I was out of town. I will be rebooking them. Thanks Sara!”
About: I love animals. I am an environmental science student at CSUMB and I’ve worked with animals for many years! I had a pretty set client base in my hometown and I am hoping to get some more new clients here in Monterey! I am thoughtful, kind, and will take great care of your furry friend! I will always do everything in my power to ensure your animals feels safe, cared for, and happy when I am around:-) I am a student and most of my time is spent doing homework. On days where I have clients I do everything with the animal I am with! They are the main focus and I love taking dogs with me everywhere and sitting and playing with cats. Animals have always had a liking to me. I am very knowledgeable on all types of dogs and cats so I will always ensure that they feel safe and comfortable while I am around. I do not mind dogs in my car so I will always find the time to bring them to a dog park (if the dog is able to of course) and so they can have plenty of time outside to socialize and enjoy their time with me! Cats love to snuggle with me and I will always appreciate some relaxing cat time. Both my cats are harness trained and I bring them outside quite often as well!
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of cats and dogs for nearly 10 years. I currently have two dogs and two cats in my home where I live right now. I am well versed in caring for animals, and love them very much! I have been working as a professional pet and house sitter for nearly two years now as a source of income. I’ve always had a beautiful harmonious relationship with all animals. I have a 5 Star rating on trusted house sitters with 10 public reviews. I can’t post the link here because of rover’s restrictions, but I’d be happy to share with you. My schedule is flexible, as I work sometimes as a substitute elementary school teacher, yoga teacher, and a babysitter. I also have my own small business! I am usually able to be very available to care for pets during most hours of the day. I provide care in whatever way is needed and makes the animals and their owners most comfortable. When housesitting, I prefer to stay overnight with the animals, to ensure the best care for the animals. I am respectful of the space I am in and have had many reviews from people I’ve sat for that I leave their homes cleaner than when they left :)
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bearded dragons. My family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets for several years now and I always treat them as if they are my own. I am currently working during the day as a delivery driver so my schedule is flexible. I mostly work during the times from 11am-2pm, 5pm-9pm, 11:30pm-2am. I would have plenty of time to play, walk and sit with your animals during the week/weekend and I am able to stay with your fur babies while you go out of town. I live at a house with two other cats and my dog Charley. I am available and willing to sit with your fur babies at your home and I am well equipped with using kennels and crates if that is required.
“Eleanor was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. She was friendly and open and very supportive with us, and a very kind and thoughtful companion to our cat when we left. We absolutely appreciated and loved the daily communication from her, including pictures. When we needed an extra day of help she was also very amenable and willing to come in. When we came back from a long day of traveling we were thrilled to see that the place looked better than we had left it -- Eleanor really picked up after herself and our cat and everything was looking great. I would not hesitate to recommend Eleanor to anyone who is needing a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have spent my whole life caring for dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs, two chickens, and eight cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and pet care needs. I’ve also been dog walking for the past year, gaining hands-on experience caring for other people’s pets. My background in childcare has taught me patience, responsibility, and attentiveness, which I bring into caring for animals as well. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always strive to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! I’m currently a college student, and my classes only take up about an hour each weekday morning, leaving me with plenty of flexibility throughout the day! Outside of school, I love staying active, going on walks, and spending time at home. Because of this, incorporating pet care into my daily routine feels like a perfect fit! Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a visit, or spending quality time with your pet at home, I have the time and flexibility to give them plenty of attention and care. I live alone in an apartment in the heart of downtown Campbell, with access to a fully fenced front and backyard that are private and only accessible to me. Although I have pets of my own, they live at my family home, so any animals staying with me will have a comfortable space without other pets around! I’m also just a five-minute walk from Los Gatos Creek Trail and close to several local parks, making it easy to incorporate walks and outdoor time into our daily routine. My biggest priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routines they’re used to at home. Whether your pet is crate-trained, prefers to free roam, or has specific dietary or medical needs, I’m happy to accommodate their individual requirements and follow your instructions closely. I plan to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care, working around my school schedule and their needs. I’m also more than happy to provide photos and updates throughout their stay so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands! For house sitting and drop-in visits, I bring that same level of attention and respect to your home, making sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,584 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Pajaro. 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
