About: I’ve had hand-on experience as well caring for my neighbors dog since she was a puppy. I helped look after her regularly by spending time with her and keeping her company as well as looking over her when needed. I’ve learnt the patience, attentiveness, and consistency that’s is required for a dog’s individual needs especially witnessing it from puppyhood when she could be carried easily up to when she’s heavy to hold up. Im currently working part-time with flexibility for your pets! Tuesdays and Sundays are totally free, and afternoons are generally always welcome to set appointments together. I prioritize heavily on making pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’ve careful to follow each pet parent’s instructions, keeping doors and gates to close attention, and making sure all parts of their routine, for, water, walks, playtime are all handled as recommended.

About: I’ve been in the horse training and care industry for roughly 20 years and have learned an immense amount about animal care over that time. I have worked with all different species, breeds, sizes, and temperaments and I am willing to take on any challenge. My schedule is currently part time and scattered so I have a lot of availability and flexibility to care for any and all animals. I also have nearly fully availability on the weekends. I will not be offering services in my home but will be available to travel to your home and I will respect your house rules.

About: I love to care for animals and over the years I’ve enjoyed looking after dogs, cats, chickens- even pigs! Getting to know each pet’s unique personality is one of my favorite parts of the job. I believe every animal deserves care that is detailed to their needs & I’ll work with you to create a routine that feels familiar, fun and safe. Whether you’re away for the day, at work or on vacation, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pets getting lots of love attention and care - just like at home. I’m at home during all dog sitting. I live in a safe, walkable area near a grassy park. I can travel to you for care, exercise and walking. Fenced yard, sun and shade, doggy pool, time for walks, play, napping. My pooch has seizures, so I have dealt with this quite a bit. Can administer medicines as well.

About: I’ll treat you, your pet(s), and your space with the same respect I would want my pets and space treated. I’ve been helping family and friends with pet care for over 20 years with some uncertified training where needed (mostly leash control and recall with excited doggos). I’m currently between jobs, and my schedule is wide open. I’m available for same day bookings, and happy to schedule things out for recurring service if that’s a good fit. I will treat your home with the same respect that I would want my home treated with. I will follow the instructions that are given without improvising.

About: Hello, I’m Tiffany and am a Sonoma county lover working in the wine industry! I have a few years of dog walking/sitting experience, but I have been focused on my wine industry career for the last few years. However, I have years of experience working for Wag! for dogs of different breeds and sizes. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of my friends dogs and other pets when they are away. They all have ranges of personalities and I’ve truly enjoyed getting to work with them all. As I love the energy that a younger dog might exude, I also love the calmness an older dog might have. I used to have a Sheltie who was the sweetest and silliest boy. He passed away in 2019 at 14 years of age, but I’ve been with him since he was a puppy and he’s the reason for my huge love for dogs. I am a very outdoorsy person and I love sports, staying active and healthy. I am flexible on accommodating anything you might require for your pet, whether it’s just a persons presence or longer walks or runs with your dog! I can’t wait to meet your furry pets and give your animals the love and affection that they crave :) I just finished my spring semester of college so I will have more time this summer to take care of your pups. I especially have time over the weekends! I have a fenced yard which will be perfect to have your dog run around and I can take your dog out as often as needed. If they have a specific routine I will be sure to stick to it!

About: Hi I’m Kaitlin! I graduated from SSU as a biology major and I have my exotic animal and wildlife rehab certificates. I currently work at Township Animal Hospital as a Vet Assistant and have experience with animal handling and giving medications. I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life and currently have a German shepherd and 3 cats that are my babies. I would love to take care of your animals any way that I can and give them all the love that they need. I can pet sit, walk your dog, or just visit your pets for a little play date whenever you need me. Let me know if you are interested in having me take care of your wonderful pets and I’ll get back to you right away! I’m working full time at the moment, however I always make time to visit your pets and take them on walks. It is a stress reliever for me so I can easily fit them into my schedule. I have 3 cats and a German shepherd in my house. I always make sure they have food and plenty of water, especially in the summer time with hot weather. I will treat your pets exactly how I would treat my own, with love and kindness and plenty of attention.

About: I have a long history caring for various animals, from farm to domestic. I've been caring for dogs ever since I was 16, all my dogs are rescues and have needed all kinds of special care and love! I'm familiar with reactivity and larger dogs, or smaller breeds and puppies. a little extra attention and time goes a long way. I'm happy to go on hikes and walks or stay in and cuddle. Feel free to ask me any questions and happy to provide my experience! Im a part time college student in kentfeild and I work at a café part time. Im looking for roles I can pick up on my off time. Weekends are easy bookings and I'm happy to talk about moving my schedule around for weekdays. Mornings and evenings are my typical availability during the week. If you have special scheduling requests please contact me a week out so we can find something that works! I'm not opposed to last minute bookings, no harm in asking! I always like to be clear about what a pet needs and what their boundaries are. Im unfamiliar with giving medicine through needles, and I don't have professional training for training dogs/reactivity. What I do have is experience with my pets, my friends pets, and a lot of compassion and patience. If your dog needs medicine, is reactive, or has certain triggers, please be up front with this information so I can provide the best service! In my house, my pets have a schedule for food and activity so they have a basic structure. Feel free to share about their personality, quirks, or any sensitivities. Communication is key!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and needs. I truly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog, and caring for them has always been something incredibly important to me. I have experience with everything from extra small breeds to extra large dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s size, personality, energy level, and individual needs. I also have experience caring for long coated breeds and understand the importance of consistent brushing, coat maintenance, and keeping dogs clean, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your dog loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, enjoying outdoor time, getting a bath, or simply relaxing with some affection, I’m happy to make their care a positive and enjoyable experience. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I also have extensive experience with reactive dogs and dogs with high prey drives. Whether a dog is reactive toward unfamiliar people, other dogs, or other animals, I understand the importance of patience, awareness, and respecting their individual boundaries. I recognize that every dog has different triggers and comfort levels, and I take those differences seriously. I prioritize safe handling, maintaining appropriate distances, following owner instructions, and avoiding situations that could overwhelm a dog or put anyone at risk. I’m also very familiar with high energy dogs and dogs who require extra attention and structure. I understand that some dogs need more thoughtful management during walks, around distractions, or when encountering other animals. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care that respects each dog's needs rather than expecting every dog to behave the same way. While I’m not a professional dog trainer, I do have hands on experience training my own dogs. I’ve worked on recall, leash manners, and appropriate behavior, and I’m incredibly proud of the progress they’ve made. Through that experience, I’ve learned just how much patience, time, and consistency matter when working with dogs. I understand that progress doesn't happen overnight, and I believe in setting dogs up for success through consistent expectations and positive experiences. I’m happy to reinforce your existing routines and commands while following your training preferences. One of my biggest strengths is caring for dogs with special needs and medical conditions. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, medication administration, and providing attentive care to dogs who require additional support. I’m also experienced in caring for dogs with compromised immune systems and serious, lifelong, or terminal illnesses. I understand that these dogs may need extra precautions, consistent routines, close attention, and a particularly gentle approach. I know that administering medication can sometimes be challenging, especially when a dog is reluctant to take it. I strive to make medication time as calm, comfortable, and stress free as possible while following your instructions carefully. I also understand how important it is to recognize changes in a dog's behavior or routine and communicate any concerns to their owner promptly. Senior and medically complex dogs hold a special place in my heart. I believe they deserve the same love, dignity, patience, and quality of care as any other dog, with adjustments made to suit their comfort and abilities. Whether that means taking a slower walk, providing extra help with daily routines, respecting mobility limitations, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence, I’m dedicated to meeting each dog where they are. My approach to dog care is built on compassion, patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, especially when your pup has specific medical needs, behavioral challenges, or requires extra care. I take that responsibility seriously and will always do my best to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your dog isn't just another booking to me. They're a beloved member of your family, and they'll be treated with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, respect your routines, and make your dog's well being my priority. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family member! I’m a part time college student, so I have a ton of time to work around and adapt to your pets schedule so they don’t have to change a single thing! My top priorities are always safety, trust, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in their environment. Having grown up with animals and cared for pets with a wide variety of needs, I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. In a client's home, I make it a priority to maintain their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, grooming, and any special care instructions. I treat every home with respect, keep food and water areas clean, maintain litter boxes as needed, and make sure pets have a safe and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I'm experienced with shy and nervous cats, reactive dogs, dogs with high prey drives, senior pets, and animals with medical conditions or special needs. I take the time to understand each pet's individual triggers and requirements, respect their boundaries, and never force interactions. I prioritize safe handling, appropriate supervision, and following the owner's instructions carefully, especially when it comes to medications, medical needs, and interactions with other animals. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else's care. I communicate with owners, provide updates when appropriate, and promptly share any concerns or changes in their pet's behavior or well being. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, respected, and loved while giving their owner peace of mind. I treat every animal with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.

Melissa is a kind & compassionate pet sitter who is extremely reliable & communicative. I could see from the daily notes & great photos that my cat was loving all the attention & extra playtime from Melissa & her charming son. I came home to a happy cat & house exactly as I had left it. She even re-set the clocks after a power outage. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Melissa was a very experienced, long-term pet lover and had a special fondness for cats. We could really tell because of the bond between Melissa and her family Spirit in the pictures. Spirit was spoiled with her favorite toys while we were away and I think we a new friend in our neighborhood to take care of our very active cat. Mary, David and Noah

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Santa Nella

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 133 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Santa Nella. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Nella. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.

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.
