About: My pet care experience includes volunteering at non-profit animal rescue organizations and animal shelters! I have experience in working with pets of all sizes and ages! I am very passionate about animal care and have previously developed a club/organization revolving around pet care and spreading awareness of this community to students! Along with this I have cared for and watched families and friends pets since I was 9 years old. I am a full time college student but I love caring for pets during my free time! I find that pet care fits best into my schedule during early mornings or anytime on Fridays-Sundays! I love caring for pets of all kinds and will do all I can to help make them feel comfortable! I have a lot of experience in pet care and know how to handle different reactions.
About: I have formal training as a veterinary assistant (6 years) and am currently in school to become a Veterinarian so I do have a lot of hands-on with animals and how to take care of them, administer medication’s, and injections. Currently I am available full time until school starts back up in February. Throughout the week, I am able to drop in on your pet and check in. . I will be updating my schedule every week so that you guys know . I am able to provide frequent potty breaks when I take care of your pets on the weekends that does not go to say that on other days, they won’t get taken out to use the restroom haha. All the pets I’ve had in the past were given the best care from making sure all their needs were met and ensuring they weren’t put in harms way . When I walk my pets I am vigilant of other people and their dogs incase of an incident were to occur . If it is a hot day I ensure to walk them in a cool environment if feasible and always bring water incase the heat is too much . I do pay close attention to detail when it comes to my pets and your pets. I am able to trim nails and to bathe if needed. Of course, making sure water and food is available at all times and cleaning up in the case of an accident.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have extensive experience caring for all types of animals, including farm animals, cats, and dogs. Whether it’s feeding, exercising, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also have experience administering medication and caring for senior pets, ensuring they receive the comfort and attention they need. Whether your pet requires extra patience, special care, or just lots of love, I’m here to help! I understand the importance of trusting someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide dependable, loving care while you're away. I’d love to meet you and your pets—let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work full-time at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. I am available for overnight visits, and morning & evening visits. I'm available to provide care during the night, administering medication as needed. I’m highly adaptable to your pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of consistency, so I’ll take the time to learn all about your furry family member’s schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible.
About: Hi, I’m Ethan! I’m 19 and I’m ready to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and entertained under my care! I have had pets of my own since I was young and love animals. I am most experienced in cat and dog care (all ages), but can care for smaller animals as well! I am always ready and willing to learn your pet’s exact needs and wants in order to fulfill them. Though I have my own pets I am well experienced in taking care of other people’s as well! I have been providing pet and house care services for friends and family since my pre teen years- it’s something I’m passionate about! Thank you for reading and I hope to care for your fur baby soon! :) I just graduated (class of 2025) and am looking forward to making this my part time job during this gap year, and hopefully in the long run! I love animals/pets and helping others, and am ready to dedicate my time to this important work for you and your pets included! I am prepared to learn your pets needs no matter how simple or complex they are- my top concern is your pets happiness and health! I promise any instructions discussed and or left for your pets and home will be followed to a T! This includes pets who are particular about how things are done, such as walks, meal time, Potty breaks, and etc (such as my own pets are- lol!) I understand that being welcomed into somebody’s home and taking care of their fur babies is a privilege.
About: Since I was 12 animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages — from newborn puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pups needing a little extra TLC. I'm patient, observant, and always adjust my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I truly treat every animal like family. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and comfort. I’m also experienced with: Administering oral medications Creating enriching, safe environments for solo pets or multi-pet households Respecting routines — because pets love structure just as much as we do! Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood :) As a nursing student, I balance my studies with my passion for caring for pets. My classes and clinicals are mostly during the day, but I’m available for early morning and evening walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays on weekends or between shifts. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need, even with a busy schedule. I’m flexible and reliable, and I always communicate clearly to fit pet care smoothly around my school commitments. Pet care is a meaningful way for me to unwind and bring joy outside of my studies — so your furry friend will always be in caring, attentive hands. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care above all else. Whether I’m looking after pets in my home or visiting yours, I make sure the environment is secure, calm, and welcoming. At your home, I respect your space and routines, following all your instructions carefully to keep your pet comfortable and happy. I always do a safety check to remove anything that might pose a risk and ensure food, toys, and medications are given exactly as directed. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs — from gentle supervision to active engagement — and I never leave pets unattended where they could get hurt or stressed. I build trust through clear, honest communication and by being consistent in care. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

About: I've been working with animals, both cats and dogs, my entire life. I love animals and spending time taking care of them. I've got personal experience with my own animals (I currently have an adorable kitty and I had many pets growing up), as well as many times where I have house/pet sit for family friends and rover clients for up to a week at a time. I'm very adaptable and kind, which makes communication between me and clients efficient and sincere. I'm currently unemployed and I would love to fill my time with taking care of fur babies. Fitting in time for playing/walking/feeding pets won't be an issue for me. I am available to feed, watch, let out, play with, walk or simply keep your animal company if they have anxiety. I'm good at following directions and can work well with clients to care for their pet in the best way possible. Depending on the day, I can also stay over night with your pet to housesit if needed (I have a lot of experience with this format).
About: Animal lover to the fullest! I think Rover is a great way to get my animal fix as well as earn extra income. I am an excellent communicator and a genuine gentle spirit!

I have my son who’s is 2 and a half, 5 of the seven days a week so most times that is a requirement however he absolutely loves dogs also and is very gentle with them. So when it’s a match that is another bonus for me and my son!! We have a very clean, organized, orderly and spacious home. I look forward to helping you and your family friend(s) in the future!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, I have experience with puppy’s, kittens, senior pets and I enjoy being with them I work part-time night shifts and attend school to become a Veterinary Technician, so my schedule varies slightly.

About: Hello, I am an animal lover with a pretty flexible schedule and a heart full of compassion. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I am present and fun and guarantee your fur babies will love their time with me! I enjoy spending time with animals and playing outdoors with them for long and short periods of time and also understand dogs have emotions just like people and need love just the same. I truly believe your pets will enjoy their time with me and will be very well taken care of while in my care. I understand how stressful vacation planning can already be and look forward to helping out with your fur babies in anyway possible. Talk to you soon! I’m currently working part-time (school hours) and have plenty of time to play and care for your pets after work. That is if they still have energy after spending all morning with my hubby, as he works nights. I am pretty much free after 3pm on weekdays. As for the month of June I am available after 1pm and completely available for the month of July. I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them time to explore the outdoors. I am patient and am able to keep up with high energy pets as well. I use baby gates in my home for safety and access.
“Margerita was great! She is clearly an animal lover! She was on time, took clear pictures of my two senior boys when they ate, and cleaned the cat box just like I requested (it fills up too fast to skip it, because kidney disease). She spent time hanging out so they got the human interaction that these two social cats crave. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor, and a flexible schedule that made it easy to come by at the times I needed her. I would hire her again!”

About: I absolutely love animals and will treat your babies like my own while you’re away. I have experience with senior, special-needs, and anxious pets, so unusual routines, extra patience, or a little extra care don’t scare me! My biggest goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re doing great. Also, I’m a chronic photo taker, so expect lots of cute updates of your baby! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, so early morning walks and potty breaks are always welcome (they honestly bring me joy). Outside of work, I’m happy to check in as often as your pet needs. Need a late-night or even 2 AM potty break? I got you! Weekends are even better because I’m available all day to give your babies plenty of attention, walks, and love. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and individual needs. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that makes them comfortable. I’m very patient with anxious, senior, and special needs pets, and I’ll never force interaction if they need space. Most importantly, they’ll get lots of love, attention, and of course plenty of photo updates!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salida
I was urgently looking for another cat sitter after having a really disappointing experience with my previous one. Then I came across Yuridia's profile, and I'm SO glad I found her! She's a 10/10 cat sitter. I had quite a few tasks for each visit, and she managed to do everything perfectly! She's thoughtful, detail-oriented, communicative, and genuinely cares about the cats she looks after. I felt so relieved knowing my cats were finally in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Yuridia to any cat parent looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Salida is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 923 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Salida. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
