“Andrea is amazing! She came twice a day to care for our cat and did such a wonderful job. Her updates were very detailed and fun with photos and we felt very safe and secure and completely trusted her with Hazel and our home. Andrea is super responsive and whenever we go out of town again we will hire her for sure. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities and needs. I love spending time with cats, whether that means playing, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company :) I also have experience walking and pet-sitting dogs of different ages and personalities. I volunteer with Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, which has given me even more experience interacting with dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I work from home so have a flexible schedule to check in on your cat(s) or dog(s) and take your furry friends for a walk! I am very active and love to be outside, so would love to get some fresh air with your pet. I will make sure to keep your pets safe and ensure that they’re kept on their leash for walks and in their safe space at their home.

“Bri's communication was excellent through the whole process. She came by a day early for a meet and greet, which was most appreciated. I could quickly tell she loves dogs and would be a perfect fit for us. She was right on time for the 30 minute visit with my dog Katie, and sent some pictures right away showing her visit.

About: Hi, I’m Jordan! I grew up with two French bulldogs, Layla and Iggy, so I’ve spent over eight years caring for my own pets, and I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for the past year. I’m fully insured and love small to medium dogs of any age, from playful puppies to sleepy seniors. Every visit includes fresh water, potty time, and playtime, and I always send you a picture and a quick note so you know how your pup is doing. I’m a college student with flexible availability that changes by semester, so feel free to message me about your schedule. I’d love to set up a meet-and-greet so your pet can get to know me first! I’m a college student studying business, and most of my classes are online, so I have lots of flexibility to schedule visits and walks around my class schedule. Pet care started as a way to save up for my first car, but I love it so much that I’m working on growing it into a real business. For pet sitting, an example of what I do for one of my regular clients is: three 30-minute check-ins a day, around 7:30 AM, 12 PM, and 7 PM. Each visit includes feeding, potty time, playtime, and plenty of snuggles, and I’m happy to add an hour-long walk if your pup needs it or adjust the times/schedule as needed. Caring for dogs doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s the best part of my day! When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their day as normal and stress-free as possible. During out meet and greet I will always bring a notebook to make sure I keep meticulous detail of how you’d like their care to flow. I’ll follow your routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions, and make sure they always have fresh water. Every visit includes playtime and snuggles so your pet feels loved while you’re away, and I’ll send you a photo and a note so you always know how they’re doing. I treat your home with the same respect as your pet, so everything stays clean and tidy and the doors are locked when I leave

About: I have been working with dogs since I was 10 years old and started 4-H, I have shown dogs trained them and worked with animals my entire life. I worked for a breeder and helped care for a litter of 6 from birth to 8 weeks. Caring for animals is important to me and I want to create trusting relationships with my clients so they know their pet is in the best hands as I know I only wanted the same for my own pups. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Because I create my own work hours, I’m able to plan my days around pet care and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or overnight care, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets in my client’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while their owners are away. I prioritize feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication instructions, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home respectfully and provide regular updates so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine compassion.

About: I am available most hours so can be very flexible. I am healthy and can keep up with the most demanding doggies. I have experience caring for medium and small dogs. I can travel in the area and care for your pooch where he or she is most familiar. You will find I am very easy to work with regarding hours, workdays, or weekends. I am very attentive and will ensure your doggie is well hydrated and get the appropriate amount of exercise. I am confident that any future client will be very pleased with the care and attention their pets receive from me. Thank you for any consideration and I hope you find the right match for you furry family member. My calendar is pretty wide open these days because I'm studying for my phlebotomy classes, which means your pup gets my full attention (and gives me the perfect excuse to take a study break!). Fresh air, leisurely walks, and stopping to sniff every interesting bush. That's my specialty. I'm not in a rush, so your dog can set the pace, whether they're an energetic explorer or a professional squirrel watcher. Before your pup and I head out on any adventures, safety always comes first. With your permission, I'll use my own AirTag attached securely to your dog's collar for an extra layer of peace of mind while we're out and about. I'll also send plenty of photo updates as often as you'd like, so you can see how much fun your furry family member is having and know they're safe, happy, and well cared for.

Carmel, CA, 93923

About: I grew up with animals and have always loved having them around. My family rescued two dogs and two cats when I was little, and I started dog and cat sitting for other families when I was around 12. I’ve continued pet sitting ever since and have also rescued two hamsters of my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I always try to give pets more than just the basic care they need. Whether I’m doing a drop-in, going for a walk, or having a pet stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and company. I know it can be stressful for pets when their people are away, so I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. I recently moved to Carmel and would love to connect with local pet owners and have some animals in my life again. I currently work part time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and boarding. I work part time in Carmel and have a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time throughout the week to spend caring for your pets! I treat every animal like they’re my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I’m very communicative and will send plenty of pictures and updates. If I ever have a question or concern, I’ll always reach out!

About: I'm a Registered Veterinary Technician with experience in emergency, intensive, and general care. I have a soft spot for pets with special needs and am able to administer all types of medication, including insulin. Do you monitor your pet's blood glucose level at home? No problem! I can obtain samples and record values. I'm trained to recognize when something isn't right, and can obtain veterinary care based on your directives. I utilize low-stress techniques for administering medication, and am comfortable handling a variety of temperaments, from cranky kitties to grumbly Chihuahuas! I provide lots of positive reinforcement to develop a bond with each dog or cat- my hope is for your little one to hardly notice that you're away! Open and honest communication is important to me - I can provide updates with photos, via email or text as little or often as you wish. Feel free to reach out with questions, or to schedule a meet and greet! My availability depends on the day. I currently work part-time Monday - Thursday at a veterinary hospital, but will do my best to work with your individual needs. I am comfortable providing care to all types of animals with varying temperaments. I've worked with cats, dogs, avian, and even exotic animals too. Your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: Experienced with crate-trained and potty-pad-trained pets, feeding schedules, and adaptable walking paces. Patient, reliable, and committed to treating your pets with the same structured care, safety, and affection I give my own. I am an active dog owner who walks daily and understands how important it is to keep your animals on a comfortable, familiar routine while you are away. As a Navy veteran and empty nester, I bring dependability, structure, and genuine warmth to caring for your pets. My daily rhythm naturally aligns with a pet's needs—upbeat and high-energy for morning walks and playtime, and calm and grounding as the day winds down. I'm comfortable with kennels, fenced areas, open areas, and on-leash in public. I will follow your routine and add in playtime and rubs.

Sara was great. She charmed my two friendliest kitties and by the end my skittish one wasn’t running every time she visited. It was the first time I’ve ever had a non-family member watch my babies and I was super pleased. So grateful for the phots and videos and for the efforts put into putting eyes on all three of my little heathens. Would highly recommend Sara and would be happy to use again as the herd arises in the future.

This was our first time using this app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately made us feel more comfortable leaving Coco and our new puppy, Piper, in her care. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire weekend, sending regular updates, text messages, and lots of photos during her drop in visits, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was kind, patient, and genuinely cared about our dogs. We came home to two happy pups, and we truly appreciated the love and attention she gave them. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Brianna was wonderful! She was able to stay a bit longer than expected on her first night with our shy, elusive cats to make them comfortable with her. One requires taking medication twice a day - so it was essential they felt comfortable with her quickly. We were concerned our cat might not reveal herself to get her medicine (which has happened for other caregivers), but we needn’t have worried!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sand City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
