About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. Since I was about eight years old I have looked after a variety of animals. Including dogs, cats, and even reptiles like lizards and bearded dragons! I also previously worked at multiple dog daycares and was a shift supervisor at one of them for over a year. I currently have no job so the most I am out of the house is two or three hours and we do frequent potty breaks. I also take them to the dog park if weather permits:)! I have a fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs who love to have friends. And plenty of extra room inside the house so the dogs have their own space aswell!
“Elle was absolutely amazing to work with! She was super communicative and easy to reach, and I felt really comfortable knowing my cat was in great hands. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs and would absolutely book with her again! 🤩”
“Arlena is excellent! She follows instructions and is very dependable, and she gives cute daily updates. My cats immediately liked her which was awesome because one of them tends to be scared of new people for a few days. She takes good care of your animals and shows them love. Highly recommend!!”
“Carol did a great job watching Buster. She's super reliable and really connects with dogs. Buster is a rather large dog, but Carol had no problems keeping him under control. I highly recommend Carol!”

About: About Me 🤍 Hi! I’m Alicia :) I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up around both dogs and cats. I have a Pomeranian of my own, and I’ve lived with and cared for all different kinds of dogs and cats over the years. I also have experience pet sitting, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their own little personality. I know every pet is different. Some dogs want to play and go on walks all day, while others just want to cuddle and hang out. The same goes for cats, some will be your best friend right away and others need a little time before they trust you. I’m very patient and always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I really just want them to feel safe and happy while their family is away. 🐾 I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, not just your pet, and I take that seriously. Before getting into real estate, I worked in banking, so being responsible, trustworthy, professional, and respectful of people’s privacy has always been really important to me. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have in mine. A little about me outside of pet sitting: I’ve lived in Japan, Hawaii, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and now I’ve settled in Monterey with my family. I love being outside, going to the beach, and taking walks around the coast, so having a pup come along with me makes it even better! At the end of the day, I really just love animals. Your pet isn’t going to feel like another “booking” to me. I want to get to know them, learn their little quirks and routine, and make sure they’re getting lots of love and attention while you’re gone. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and in good hands. 🤍 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they stay on their normal routine, feel comfortable, and receive lots of love and attention while their owners are away. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, needs, and behavior to ensure they feel secure and cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a clean, attentive, and trustworthy environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of affection, supervision, and patience. I also love keeping pet owners updated with photo and video updates throughout the day so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone, so communication is always a priority for me, and I’m happy to answer questions or accommodate any specific care instructions.
About: Longtime, trusted petsitter for neighbors and friends, with extensive volunteer experience including lead dog walker at a local shelter and rescue transporter. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and genuinely love building connections with each pet. Available for walks, overnight care, and drop-ins. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work full-time during the week but have evening availability on Thursdays and Fridays, with open availability on weekends. I can accommodate drop-in visits during weekday lunch hours in the Oldtown/Downtown Monterey area. Please message me with any questions about availability or scheduling. I love taking dogs for neighborhood walks with plenty of time for sniffing, playing with their favorite toys, giving lots of affection and belly rubs, and simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, routines, or care requirements.
“This was our second time having McKayla watch our cats and fish tank and she was great! Good communication responding to messages and leaving the photo cards of each drop in visit. We will be happy to rebook here again and recommend her!”
About: I have a deep love and passion for animals. I have cared for many types including cats, dogs, snakes, rabbits, even insects! I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter, so I have a great deal of experience handling animals from all walks of life. I recently relocated, so I am offering discounted rates as well as a promo code for first time Rover users: DANIEA95969 If you have a dog with reactivity, I am happy to help! Reactivity can be a stressful matter for owners to endure with their pet, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve to be outside and explore. Feel free to message me with questions if you would like to set up walks with your reactive dog. I also have experience with senior dog care including walking challenges, diaper changes, and oral medication. No matter the breed or size, I will care for them like my own. I am happy to do day walks, at-home visits, overnights, boarding etc. I will do my best to accommodate any repeat clients as I want your pets to feel bonded and comfortable with me! I will always put your pet's comfort and happiness first! I know with my own dog that trusting a stranger with your fur baby can be nerve wracking, but I can assure you, your pet will be in great hands.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since college, starting with dog walking, house sitting, and providing care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and helping them establish good routines, as well as caring for senior dogs who may need extra attention or medication. I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, personalities, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. * I have children in the home, so I can only accept dogs that are friendly and safe around kids Being a stay a home mom, I am able to provide continuous care for your pet! Whether it be early morning walks, middle of the day potty breaks, or late night play time; I’m ready to provide loving care to your pets while you’re away. I have a small fenced in back yard and access to a larger fenced dog park, plus our neighborhood is perfect walks! If caring for your pet in their home, no need to worry about a thing! I have the ability to come over at any point during the day and am confident that they will be comfortable and happy!
“Megan actually came earlier than expected (I felt uncomfortable asking her to come so early) and my cat, who normally is not very social, came right out to greet her and stayed for lots of brushing and pats on the head. My little girl is 18 so I get nervous when I can't take care of her but with Megan, I a know my girl is in great hands! I am so grateful!”

Valeriya was able to take care of everything I needed for my pets while I was out of town using just my written instructions, out of necessity. She left great reports of everything she did each day, played with both of the kitties and took plenty of pictures and videos. She followed all of the instructions perfectly and took great care of them!
Sara did a great job on a last-minute request. Our original sitter had to unexpectedly cancel and Sara stepped in and saved us! As usual they handled my two felines with care and compassion. Them was able to manage Leo's new medication and all the other details of the drop in visits.
Flora took exceptional care of our two cats while we were away. She is professional, friendly, and an excellent communicator. She always arrives on time, and is flexible when situations arise. I highly recommend Flora as a pet sitter because she is trustworthy, responsible, responsive, friendly, educated, and an excellent communicator.
I had a wonderful experience with Katie dropping in to check on my cat Penelope. Katie’s communication kept me in the loop throughout the week, providing reassurance that Penelope was well taken care of and happy. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone with pets to care for, and will be using her again in the future.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
