“Nicole was so understanding about our dog’s needs. She took the time to make sure he was comfortable with her and I’m so glad he got to have someone so caring to look after him!”
About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!
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. And no kennel here, bedtime is indoors and a crate is optional. I have a fenced yard and three 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: My I have been a cat and a dog owner before. It's been about three years since I've owned a pet for personal reasons. I'm very patient and kind, I would do my very best in caring for any pet I am to watch over no matter what. I live with my grandmother who has a dog herself, so when she's at work or goes out of town I watch over her dog for her. At the moment I have open availability. I'm looking into going to school for the fall semester. I'm in the process of figuring out what I want my career to be. Getting into dog sitting is going to help me determine if I want to work more with animals and make it apart of my career.
About: Taking them on walks to burn energy and fress air, cleaning up message they made, are feed, playing with them, and make sure they well cared for while their parents are busy. Have class on Tuesday-Thursday and in college but they aren't super long except Tuesday long and I can't drive. But I have a lot of freed time ( it depends ) Will I follow the owners rules for their house and make sure the dog isn't doing anything that it shouldn't and that everything is ok and that the dog didn't make a mess if so I'll clean it up.
“Corinne was fantastic! She was very attentive to my dog and his needs. She took great care of him while I was away and made me feel confident that he was being loved and cared for. I would 100% request Corinne's services 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 have around 10 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. Family members and neighbors have trusted me with their babies for years, and it’s something that I enjoy as well. I have looked after dogs anywhere from puppies to senior. I know the different needs at each stage of life and am able to provide them! I am currently a full time college student but have time in between classes. I am looking for a part time job with flexible hours and something more rewarding than a retail job. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them, and would love the opportunity to take care of yours! Although, I am not offering to take care of pets in my own home as of right now, I can assist with what clients need help with in their homes. Some examples of services I can provide are walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding animals, and mild training such as walking on a leash without pulling or to sit and lay down.
“Holly was very kind and thorough when we met and when she stopped by to feed and spend time with my cat when I was away. She is communicative and sent pictures every visit. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell my cat was comfortable with her as well. I would strongly recommend her to others to provide loving pet sitting. I’m grateful I found her to take care of my baby. Thank you holly, you rock!”

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: Hi there! I currently have a cat (got him in 2020, when he was six months old!) and he is the light of my life! I go above and beyond to take care of him, and treat all animals the same way. I’m actually in college to go down the vet route :) My cousin has 2 dogs (a maltipoo + pomeranian) which I help take care of quite often! I help with walks, bathing, picking up after, playing, and giving lots of love to <3 Your pet deserves the sweetest treatment, which I am to ensure! I’m currently in college, so Saturday and Sunday work the best for overnight care! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, I only have 1 afternoon class, so I would be glad to come over late afternoon/night! In your home, I will respect your environment and keep it clean. My focus is entirely on the well being of your fur baby! <3
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.

I will not be able to house your pets in my personal space, but I am more than happy to cater to all your dogs needs in the comfort of their own homes!
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

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salinas
Jenna was pleasant and professional when caring for my cat Bella. She sent photos and updates, and I really appreciated that spent the whole 30 minutes trying to find Bella who wouldn't come out of hiding. Jenna made sure that Bella had water on the front porch and left her some treats, confirmed that Bella wasn't out on the street. She even walked around the neighborhood looking for Bella, and saw the cat that Bella doesn't like hanging out on my back fence. This explains why Bella wasn't interested in socializing. Thanks, Jenna, I appreciate your care.
Maria has been great! We have been working with her for months and have really grown to trust her. I really appreciate her timely and informative communication with me. Recently, our dog had a week of sickness, and she was more than willing to help clean up any of his messes he left. The pictures we receive in the Rover app definitely show how much our dog is comfortable with her. We are so grateful and highly recommend her services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Salinas is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 1,241 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Salinas. 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 Salinas. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
