“Karla has been a life saver. She has taken great care of our pet, even offering to clean up after him. She has also been very flexible with us and even provided us with extra visits with little notice.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job, I treat each animal like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I make communication a priority by keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands. I do work but also have plenty of availability, which gives me plenty of time during certain mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Just check in with me first about certain times! I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I have a fenced off patio and a friendly dog to keep your babies company. If you’d like your animal to be crated, i can easily do that.
“Jazmine did an amazing job with checking in with me. She spent time with my kitten who warmed up to her quickly. We know animals have a good sense of who’s a beautiful soul. She went above and beyond by sending me pictures of my baby. I didn’t have to worry once while being away. Thank you Jazmin!”
About: I am a dependable and active pet caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have always taken care of dogs and cats since I was 9 years old. I myself have a golden retriever mixed with a great pyrenees and a rescued tabby cat. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. As an exercise science student, I understand the importance of physical activity, routine, and overall well-being, which helps me provide engaging walks and attentive care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I am also patient with puppies who are still learning routines and can provide gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may require a slower pace and extra attention. I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to create a positive experience for both pets and their owners through trustworthy and compassionate care. I'm currently working a part-time job as a lifeguard; however, my schedule is very flexible, and I am willing to accommodate same-day requests. I do not allow dogs in my house because my own dog is not very friendly with other dogs. However, in my client's home, I would prefer to meet the dog with the owner before taking care of the dog.
“Nadine was quick to respond. She took care of my two cats, one of whom requires oral medication twice a day. Nadine came over before our trip to meet the boys and see how I give meds. She was flexible with our scheduling and had great communication. Will re-book.”

About: My family has been fostering pets for years, and I’ve cared for many types of dogs, from senior dogs who are blind or unable to walk to newborn litters of puppies. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels, from very outgoing to very timid. In addition to fostering, I’ve helped care for my two labradoodles for the past nine years. As a high school senior, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time after school and on weekends to give pets the attention and care they need. I can easily fit feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins into my daily routine and always make pet care a priority. I will keep the client informed and up to date about their pet, and be sure to thoroughly follow all pet care instructions. I will also ensure each pet gets the proper care and attention they need.
“Val is absolutely wonderful! She's trustworthy, prompt, and thoughtful. Most importantly, she took fabulous care of my shy and nervous kitty when I was out of town. Val sent me the cutest photos during each visit, and my cat loved Val right away--always a good sign! I'll definitely be asking her to catsit the next time I need help.”
About: Sharing my life with my pets has taught me the meaning of being present and enjoying the moment. My goal is to create a space for pets to feel safe and fun. I care for your pet like I would want someone else to care for mine. Weekends are most flexible time to pet sit. I can spend time with your pet either play time, walking, or feeding them. Will make sure they get the activity they need and you expect. I have two crates if need to drop off your dog. I have two, small to medium, dogs that can be playmates. I have feeding dishes if needed.

About: I grew up with dogs and my love for them is why I became a licensed veterinary technician. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, pocket pets, large animal, working canines in my 16 year career. Being with my dogs brings me so much joy, and I know how important it is for owners to know that their fur babies are happy and well taken care of. I work part time at a vet clinic, so that leaves me with time to offer dedicated care when needed for drop in visits with your pets. I will strictly adhere to instructions on the individualized care for your pet, and take the extra time needed to make sure things are correct and your pet is happy.
About: I would like to describe myself as empathetic. I Adapt well after a while, and I love any breed! Very competent in the job and enjoy it very much! I would structure my pet care availability around my schedule with the El Paso Chihuahuas, ensuring I’m fully committed to both responsibilities. Limited availability home games depending if I work mornings or afternoons. Off weeks or lighter game schedules, I would have much more open availability, allowing me to take on additional bookings and provide more dedicated time for each pet. I would coordinate those shifts in advance to maintain a reliable pet care routine. During my free time, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for them, making sure they receive attention, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. I ask the client about their own routines to adapt well with your dog and stick to familiarity. I try to give as much bonding time as I’m allowed and give space when needed. Take care of your dog and home.
“Mikaila took great care of our cat and was super responsive, even on short notice during the holidays. She agreed to help us out with just a couple days notice and was flexible enough to extend the sitting when we had a last-minute emergency. Mikaila was so friendly, and our cat really took a liking to her. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Santa Teresa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Santa Teresa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
