“THANK YOU SO MUCH KRYSTAL for taking care of Jackson (and watering my outside plants). I was able to relax on our trip knowing Jackson was in good hands. I hope you will come back and care for Jackson again sometime in the future! Luann & Ed”
“Allison is fantastic with my 2 cats. She has been reliable, a good communicator, and I can tell that when I come home she not only followed instructions, but has gone the extra mile towards treating my furbabies with love. And she herself is a lovely young woman. I highly recommend her.”
“Leanne is a wonderful pet sitter. She kept our sweet little T-Rex (aka Aussie mini) and border collie happy and feed while we were away. She is prompt with notifications and great at taking cute pictures of your fur babies. We would highly recommend Leanne for your pet sitting needs.”
About: My family and I were the caretakers for a nature preserve where we had our farm with many different animals some of which were pets and others were farm animals but all were loved and cared for! I believe this taught me how to care for any animal which led me to pet sitting a few years ago and i absolutely love it! I have a super flexible schedule and I’m always willing to work with your schedule to make sure the timing works great for you! Due to the fact i primarily clean and pet sit for work i always have lots of free time! No matter if I’m sitting in my home or yours your pet will get many walks, potty breaks, and lots of love! Plus you’ll receive plenty of pictures and videos to help ease the stress of leaving them behind!
About: I live on a ranch and have experience with all animals and I just happen to have time to take care of others animals while they are away. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time on my hands to help out others with their animals while they are away. I have plenty of land that I live on along with extra room for animals if needed (large or small). I often take the dogs with me on my runs.
About: I have a strong background with a diverse range of animals. Dogs, cats, horses, livestock (big and small), alpacas... The list goes on! I grew up in a family of animal lovers and we never had a shortage of dogs in the house. I've been taking care of animals since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I currently run my own business for animal care, so animals are the very core of what I do for a living! I am available for all animal types, and take care of them like they're my own. I do in home care for clients. I currently do not offer the use of my own home for animal care. I do overnight, drop in visits, walking and extended day time visits.

THANK YOU AGAIN & AGAIN SARAH!!! You take such good care of Jackson and we very much appreciate you! I love the video that you shared with us showing him being "sassy". I love that you talk to him and make sure that he get lots of pets and love during your visits. Luann & Ed
Leanne has been great to work with. I broke my arm and she was able to get me in last minute for dog walks and has been super flexible with timing. Also, my extremely leash reactive dogs don’t react when she’s walking them, so she must be some sort of dog whisperer! Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Salida is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 53 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.

- 88% 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.
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.
