About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I’ve cared for large, senior, small, young and special needs cats and pups for nearly a decade. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with yours My working hours are flexible during the week, I don’t have children to tend to, and I’m free all weekend so I can spend more time playing with your furry children. They’ll get plenty of play time and walks as needed. I have a fenced yard and two doggies to keep your furry baby company. If they prefer to be alone, we can go to my office where there is a large open area for them to roam, rest, or watch people walk by. If your furry friend prefers to stay in the comfort of their home, my hours are so flexible I can either stay or check in and walk them as needed

About: I have worked with animals for a very long time. I grew up with them and then I decided to study Veterinary care in college working with animals such as cattle, horses, dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and others. I worked at a grooming/boarding facility as well. I have trained my own dogs and some friends dogs. I have also raised puppies and worked with professional training to better my own dogs. I am a stay at home mom due to day care and I figured I have always loved animals, why not work with them? I am pretty much available all week. I have a fenced yard where my dogs roam, My dogs are crate trained and go out most of the day. I do walk them once or twice a day depending on the weather. I also do feeding 2x a day and a couple of treats while training. We do other activities as well

About: I love all furry babies! I grew up around animals and have a special ability to have them approach me first. I also have experience bathing smaller dogs and administering medicines. I work full time but I can stop by your house before/ after work, and if needed I can check in during my lunch most days. On the weekends I am more available for longer check-ins. I can do almost anything you request in your home. I am good at making sure animals don't get out, and if they slip by I'm a pretty good runner. My house is not set up for another roommate however.

“Gabriel and his son Lucas were great with our senior dogs. He kept me updated every visit to ensure we knew how the dogs were doing. Definitely convenient that he was near my home and due to the fact that we actually don't like people wandering in our home, my husband felt comfortable with him watching over our house as he definitely went above our expectations. Will definitely use him again.”

About: Can you believe my parents didn't want a dog until I came along? When I was "finally old enough", I raised my first puppy. I've raised 3 puppies (family members) since then. What I have to offer: •available day + night - work from home (weekends off) •no breed or size restrictions •if your dog is high energy and large, then he/she must know basic commands like no, yes, come, stay. ♥ I will only care for one dog at a time (an exception can be made if you have two) since I want to give your dog (and mine) all the love. ♥ About me: my name is Scarlitte (pronounced scar-lett) Alameda, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics. I love to bake, relax outside with a cup of coffee, and dogs (of course). I moved back to the Monterey area in 2024. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I'm not active on them, but I like to check up on friends and family once in a blue moon. My dog, Luna, and I visit Broadneck dog park in the morning for about an hour. Here your dog can •run •zoom around with other dogs •play fetch •lay down under the shade. Luna normally sleeps until 3pm. She has a potty break around noon. In the evening, we drive to the dog park, and later we lay on the couch together. I have a fenced in backyard, many dog toys, leashes, an Apple ID tag, and a extra dog bed available. The water bowl is regularly cleaned and refilled. Because I only care for one dog at a time (other than my own), my house is clean. The only exception is rainy days since dogs have muddy feet. I can provide: • one on one attention • the best pets and rubs • speaking in a special voice for dogs • being active with your dog • on weekends my husband will remix songs he knows and insert your dogs name (don't tell him I told you though) • cool math facts since I'm a mathematician.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Huskies, so I’ve gotten to know just about every size, personality, and energy level in between! I’ve been actively involved in caring for my family’s pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking within my community since I was 11 years old. As a rescue dog owner myself, I understand that not every dog is outgoing, confident, or immediately comfortable with new people and situations. I have plenty of hands-on experience with timid, anxious, reactive, and quirky dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved, no matter their personality or background! I also have lots of experience caring for puppies, so I’m no stranger to the extra attention, patience, and energy that comes with young dogs! From frequent potty breaks and playtime to reinforcing routines and positive behaviors, I’m happy to adapt to your puppy’s needs. Above all, I know that pets are family, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving them in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you the peace of mind to feel just as comfortable while you’re away! As a college student, I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care! My only regular scheduling conflicts are Wednesday evenings and Friday midday, so I’m available most days throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a quick check-in, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs and routine! I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care instructions. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and enrichment through walks, toys, or quality time together. For cats, I’m also happy to take care of litter box cleaning and other daily needs. I always make sure pets are secure and the home is left tidy before leaving. I also prioritize keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing while you’re away! I’m happy to accommodate any additional instructions or preferences to make sure your pet receives the best care possible.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and one on one attention I give every pet. I treat your dog or cat like family, not just a job. I also send daily updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to give pets my full attention whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for, just like they would at home. At my home, pets get plenty of love, playtime, and a calm space to relax. I make sure they feel at home with cozy spots to rest and a safe environment to explore. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel secure and stress free. I treat every pet like my own, whether I’m in their space or they’re in mine.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one! My mom has been fostering dogs ( Shamrock Pet Foundation in Louisville) since I was a baby, so I literally grew up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From shy rescues to energetic puppies, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for them all. Being around dogs just comes naturally to me — they’ve always been part of my family and my everyday life. I’m confident and comfortable making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always tailor care to their unique needs and personality. As a student at NPS with a flexible schedule, I have lots of time to dedicate to dog walking or pet sitting — and I’d love to spend it with your pup! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and relaxed. In your home, I always respect your space and routines. I follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and preferred walking routes — to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and that they always have access to water, cozy spots to rest, and supervised outdoor time in the dog park or in the fenced backyard. I also believe in building trust — both with your pet and with you. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m the person my friends and family trust with their pets because they know I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and patience I would give my own. I have experience with senior pets, special-needs pets, oral and injected medications, and pets with different personalities and routines. I understand how important it is to follow your instructions and keep your pet comfortable while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I work full time, but I’m very intentional about the bookings I accept and will only commit when I know I can provide your pet with reliable, attentive care. I’m an early riser and available for morning care, as well as evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule so you know exactly what to expect while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, medications, walking routine, and any special needs or preferences. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. You can also count on regular photos and updates, so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Prunedale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Prunedale is $37 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $69 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 1,573 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Prunedale. 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 Prunedale. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
