“Megan sent us plenty of updates and pictures, and Murphy seemed so happy with her! Very responsive and left the house in perfect condition. We will definitely be rebooking!”
About: Hello! I am a dog mom to a senior pup and a trained “doggy day out” volunteer at the SPCA Monterey County animal shelter. I would love to help care for your furry sweethearts! I believe in treating pets with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I primarily work from home, which gives me flexibility during the week, and I have a lot of weekend availability for your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will diligently follow your instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and do my best to help them feel comfortable and loved.
“I’ve never been away from my babies in four years. So my first vacation away from them was incredibly scary for me. But oh my days I’m incredibly thankful I stumbled across Valeriya. I know my boys can be overwhelming with how high energy they are but she reassured me they were so well behaved while I was gone. She sent me very frequent updates to ease my mind that they were in good hands. I left detailed instructions, and she followed every single one. I’m so excited to be able to travel and know my babies will be in good hands, I’m definitely going to be a frequent client. I can’t express my thanks enough!”
“I highly recommend Laura and would book her again! She watched our dog and house. She was very communicate, arrived on time, and followed our dog’s schedule. Super professional, nice, and trustworthy. Our dog is kind of anxious and she managed that very well. She also left our house spotless! Thank you!”
“Olivia provided excellent care for my Siberian Husky at my home during my weekend trip. She was punctual, sent updates with pictures, accommodated a last-minute booking, and was flexible with the schedule. I would confidently recommend her services for dog sitting or walking.”
“Taryn was a great sitter, who was neat and considerate and who left a very content dog when she left our house. Our return plans were uncertain due to weather in CO but Taryn was more than willing to adjust her schedule to accommadate ours and Buddy's needs. Would definitely call on her again.”
“Lisbeth was great! She was very communicative and pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got back home than when I left. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in her care. I will be using her again next time I need a pet/house sitter. Thanks so much Lisbeth!!”
“Natalie was on time and came prepared with treats and balls (since Barley's favorite sport is balls). She walked and played with Barley and kept us abreast of our little one with pictures throughout the time we were away. We had Natalie for only four hours. If we ever get back to the area and need a dog sitter, we would definitely book her again.”
About: I grew up next to a dog park and spent most of my free time around dogs, learning their personalities, body language, and energy naturally from a young age. I began pet sitting during my teen and college years, and over time developed a strong ability to help animals feel safe, comfortable, and understood. While attending school in Boston, I also worked at a pet supply shop, where I regularly interacted with dogs and their owners and further developed my understanding of pet care, behavior, routines, and different personality types. Professionally, I work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and caregiver, which has strengthened my skills in patience, consistency, structure, emotional awareness, and reading behavior cues. I’m especially good with sensitive, shy, anxious, high-energy, or routine-oriented pets because I naturally bring a grounded and calming presence. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure while their owners are away. Whether that means energetic walks and playtime, quiet companionship, or extra attentiveness to specific needs, I adapt to each pet individually. I also have experience caring for pets in clients’ homes and understand the importance of respecting both the animal’s environment and the family’s space. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy creating consistent, attentive care for animals throughout the week. Currently, I’m available for morning care and walks until noon, as well as evening care after 7 PM on weekdays. I also have open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for pet sitting, extended care, and overnight stays. I enjoy incorporating walks, outdoor time, play, feeding routines, and calm companionship into my schedule, and I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care that helps pets feel comfortable and secure. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest, medications (if needed), and overall structure. I understand that consistency helps pets feel more relaxed and emotionally settled, especially when their family is away. I pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, energy levels, and each pet’s individual personality and needs. My background as a caregiver and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to remain calm and observant in different situations. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, reliable with communication, and committed to keeping both pets and owners comfortable throughout the experience. Safety is always my top priority during walks, outdoor time, feeding, and supervision. I aim to create an experience where pets feel genuinely cared for — not just watched.
“Sonia was fantastic with our dog. It was a huge comfort having someone who is so experienced with veterinary medicine taking care of our older frenchie with some health issues. Highly recommend”
“Mallory was a wonderful pet sitter for our Boston Terrier, Lola. During the walk-through, she was thorough and asked lots of questions, making sure everything was written down to get it just right. She stayed in our home, kept everything spotless, and was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos. Lola had a great time and clearly felt comfortable with her. We’d absolutely have Mallory watch her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter!”
“Very nice and super accommodating! It was my first time leaving my two working dogs to be watched by someone and she did an amazing job! She was super flexible and was great with the dogs. She sent me photos and updates after every visit/walk. I will definitely look for her to watch my dogs again!”
“Our dogs love Marianne! We feel so much more relaxed leaving home knowing our dogs are in her care. We also really appreciate the pictures of the dogs she sends our way!”
“Mari is amazing! She was on time, calm and professional. Our toy poodle instantly liked her. When we came home, our house was exactly as we left it. We were thrilled with her!”
“Dean did such an amazing job housesitting for us while we were on vacation. He took care of our chihuahua and Persian cat and they loved him! We got pictures of our pets everyday and I could tell how well they were being cared for. Dean was very communicative during the whole process and took great care of our home as well. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“We hired Lauren to watch our three pups in our home. One of our dogs is a senior with advanced Cushing's Disease and is diabetic. It's been so long since we were able to get away and enjoy ourselves for an extended period of time because of Baxter's medical issues. We needed someone to come and stay in our home and have the knowledge and ability to respond to his medical needs as well as meet the needs of our other two pups. Lauren did all of that for us. She's a professional through and through, wonderful personality and incredibly flexible with us. It's such a relief to know our pets are in her hands so we can enjoy our time away. We feel so lucky to have found her! She's the best!”
About: I like to be active and go on runs or walks, so I can do any activity like that with your dog(s); whether we're playing fetch, going on walks/runs, visiting the park, etc. and I am a very patient and loving person! It would be a pleasure to have fun with your dog(s) in any capacity! I have experience house/dog sitting and running with even the most energetic dogs! I also have experience of taking care of puppies and understand the commitment level and patience to hang out with a puppy! I am capable of taking out dogs for walks or playing frequently. I would love to hear more about your pets and how I can help out! I work nearby in Monterey and some days I work from home. I can walk early mornings or after work days. I am flexible and can be available for weekends. I can do walks or runs in various areas. I have a small backyard, concrete/dirt mix where my dog has space to run and play fetch. It is all enclosed, and theres even a fake grass patch for dogs. I walk mornings and evenings and can also run dogs with extra energy. I work from home some days of the week so can be with dog for longer parts of the day and schedule can be flexible depending on needs.
About: I enjoy playing with dogs, and rewarding good behavior. I have cared for the pets of friends and family while they are out of town. I worked with my own dog, and he earned his STAR Puppy certificate. We are currently working on Canine Good Citizen certification through AKC. I am self employed, and have a flexible schedule, at the moment. I am sure I will have the time to help care for your pet. In the past, I have walked, fed, and played with the dogs that I have cared for. I follow all instructions left by the owner.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Quail Meadows
Natalie was terrific in the care she gave our little Maltese Molly. Molly is a senior dog ( going on 14 ), she has a tumor on her bladder and has to pee very often. She also is very anxiety when she is away from us. Although she is taking pain meds and anxiety meds, she whines when we are out of sight. Natalie took charge by comforting her and distracting her with toys and treats. We were comfort with leaving Molly with Natalie to go to a friends house for a Thanksgiving meal. We would definitely feel very comfortable leaving her with Natalie.

FAQs for House Sitting - Quail Meadows
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 803 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Quail Meadows. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Quail Meadows walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Quail Meadows maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Quail Meadows choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
