“Annalisa was great with my sweet Little Kitty! I was able to book on short notice and Annalisa offered to meet beforehand which I thought was nice (especially since I didn’t have to bring it up!) When we met she was very thorough with what was needed and ran everything back to me so I knew she understood (again, she did this all on her own). My Kitty is normally very shy when others watch her but she was super comfortable with Annalisa. I will definitely be using her again for my cat sitting needs!”
“Andrea is my go to sitter when I need help with my 2 pups when I'm not around. It's hard to find people you can trust so it's puts my mind at ease knowing Andrea will show up and love on them.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and extensive, hands-on experience caring for a diverse range of species. I have been dedicated to pet care since middle school and have personally kept and cared for a wide variety of animals over the years. My multi-species experience includes:Mammals: Dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, gerbils, and mice.Reptiles & Amphibians: Bearded dragons, geckos, anoles, and snakes.Birds: Pigeons and finches.Invertebrates & Aquatic Life: Tarantulas, scorpions, roaches, hermit crabs, and freshwater fish.As a dedicated multi-species pet parent, I cannot imagine life without animals. I view the unique dietary, environmental, or medical needs of exotic pets and traditional companions alike as a privilege to accommodate, never a hindrance. 🐾 Introductory Rate Note: I am brand new to the Rover platform but have over 20 years of personal animal care experience! My rates are temporarily discounted while I build up my profile reviews—book now to lock in this special pricing! As an experienced pet parent to a variety of animals, caring for pets seamlessly blends into my daily life. While I work a standard Monday–Friday shift, I have dedicated blocks of time completely open for your pets. On weekdays, I am fully available before 1:00 PM and after 10:45 PM. On weekends, my schedule is wide open. Because I don't have children, my free time and energy are completely devoted to giving fur, scale, and feather babies the specialized care and attention they deserve. ***For reptiles, birds, and small rodents, please book them as a 'cat' profile so the app processes the request properly! I strictly follow established care plans and routines to ensure your pet enjoys maximum comfort and consistency while you are away. My goal is to make the entire experience completely stress-free for both you and your pet by providing dedicated, attentive care.
“Best Rover experience ever! Loren is amazing and flexible. I was impressed with how quickly Loren connected with my needy and special 100+ pound dogs. She sent lots of updates and pictures and allowed me to truly relax while on vaca, knowing they were cared for.”
“We recently moved to the area and needed to find someone new on rover. Alexis was amazing! Super professional, had great communication, went above and beyond, and so sweet with our furbabies! She was so caring with our a old blind dog and patient with our a very energetic pup. It was so reassuring to have her come check in on our fur-babies. Highly recommend! Super thankful for Alexis!”
About: I am not a professional dog sitter or walker but I do have a dog of my own as of 2021. One of the best decisions of my life. My little furball, Jayla. Many friends and family have dogs from small to big that’ll let me care for them as if they were one of my children. They are fur babies after all! Walking, playing, feedings, and bathroom time become a pawsitive routine in my care and I’m here to help when or wherever needed. I work a part-time schedule, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my day. I’m able to work around my job and other responsibilities while still providing reliable and attentive care. I’m happy to coordinate with clients to find times that work well for both of us. When it comes to walking your dogs, or dropping in on your cats, I always make sure to bring their leash, some treats if allowed, poop bags and to be SAFE, we will cross from other animals, children or adults. You have to be prepared! Exploring the routes is a great way to bond and keep them active! I will definitely know the signs of your furbaby wanting relax or be given space. If you have a set feeding schedule, you would like me use before or after walks I will provide that service.
About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️
About: I'm very accustomed to all kinds of dogs! From pups to elderly dogs, small to large I'm the right guy for the job. I've raised all 3 of my dogs from puppies along with helping friends with theirs. I have tons of experience in cleaning and keeping them busy so I am more then happy to help with watching pups! I also have experience with elderly dogs that require medical treatment, as long as I get a detailed explanation on the steps to help I'll be able to follow them perfectly. I also live with very large dogs so I have all the experience with how to handle them no problem. I'm currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to look over your pets! I am very willing to work weekends, weekdays, and holidays. I have 2 very friendly dogs while my third is pretty territorial so while I can make sure your dogs are safe and acclimate them to the others, I feel it would be best to stay at your house.
“Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.”
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
About: I’ve had animals all of my life and I love meeting new fuzzy friends! I’ve had experience with all types of animals! I have two cats of my own and take care of them dog my sisters two cats and our family dog! I work for a senior care company but because it’s not super reliable in terms of a set schedule I’m looking to help pet parents whenever I can! I’m very reliable! My regular job is a in-home healthcare for seniors so I’m always in their homes cleaning their houses and stuff like that, as well as as if they have pets taken care of those as well. I care for all of my pet clients just like I with them. I respect the houses that I work in like they are my own!
“Brianna was able to come on short notice to help with my pets. I loved how quickly she communicated her time schedules so we could coordinate the times. As well she picked up my plants that my cats knocked over. My house smelled and looked nice I will definitely book her again this time for a full stay.”
About: I have about 10 years of house sitting experience. I am comfortable with all types of animal. From dogs and cats to turtles and chickens! I currently work in education on Monday-Friday 7:30-4pm. I am excited to do walks after work and snuggles in the evening. And lots of love and playing of the weekends. Safety is a top priority for me as well as updates. I love sending pictures of what we are up to and the fun we are having.

Andrea is a blessing! My Sweetie is a very high energy dog and can be challenging at times. Andrea knows just how to handle her and make her happy which makes me very happy. She is a true professional. I'm so thankful I found her, not just for me but for my Sweetie.
Natasha was very good with my Rottweiler. Make sure he ate his food played with him changed his water. Gibson really loved her. I could tell. She always came early. She’s very professional. I would recommend Natasha to anyone. We look forward to working with her again.
Mariela is an amazing pet sitter! She is reliable, punctual, and will not hesitate to go above and beyond. I appreciate the care she gives my dogs anytime we are out of town. It is hard to leave the pups behind when traveling but having someone dependable like Mariela helps make it a little easier.
Grace was absolutely amazing! She is so kind, warm, and easy to talk to. She was incredibly patient with my Mia, who can be a little anxious and scared around new people, but Mia really warmed up to her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mia was happy, safe, and genuinely well cared for. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Santee stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Santee. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
