About: What sets me apart is my 6 years of professional dog care experience, including boarding, energetic walks, and feeding, plus references from satisfied pet owners who trust my attentive service with all breeds and ages, even assisting with puppy training and senior pet comfort. 🐾 I'm pretty flexible! I have pretty much free time, so I'd love to fit in pet care. I can do early morning or late afternoon dog walks, and I'm totally game for boarding or longer visits on weekends. Whatever works best for you! My home is a cozy getaway, spaces to snooze, a big fenced yard to play, and all the love in the world. Each pet gets personalized attention, playtime, and snuggles tailored to their vibe. Think of it as a furry sleepover with lots of TLC!

About: I’ve taken care of and owned animals of all kinds since childhood. Taught and trained by my mother, who’s been a vet tech for over 40 years! I have extensive knowledge of proper pet care practices and continue to keep up to date with all the latest information and research. I have experience handling, training, and caring for pets of various sizes and breeds; including large-small dogs, senior dogs & cats, puppies & kittens, and high needs pets! If your fur baby has behavioral issues or quirks, needs daily medication, and/or has strict dietary guidelines, you can trust that your pets special needs will be met to your standards while in my care! I work part time as a creative professional and musician with a relatively flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet family! If I’m scheduled for a pet care service, I will dedicate the time necessary to fulfill those duties happily I am a very attentive, intuitive, and patient person with both humans and pets. I pride myself on being organized, structured, and honest in home & work environments, and have always lived by the golden rule of leaving a place better than you found it! If the service you choose requires daily and/or overnight stays at your home, you can rely on me to treat your home and pet/s with all the respect and care it deserves.

“Heather was amazing. She was able to care for our difficult older cat like a pro. Our cat required two medications twice a day, including an injection, and our cat doesn't do well with stranger but she did great with Heather. Heather let us know everytime when she completed the shot which really put our minds at ease. We ended up book her again for two more trips these coming months.”

About: I've cared for pets since I was 12. Growing up in a family with so many different critters has given me such a deep connection to caring for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, and other rodents. I feel extremely confident in my animal care skills. I am currently not in school. I'll have a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time for pet care. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy! I am a very responsible individual. When in a client's home, I will respect it like my own. Getting to know how and what I need to do is very important to me and will be followed through.

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of cats and dogs for nearly 10 years. I currently have two dogs and two cats in my home where I live right now. I am well versed in caring for animals, and love them very much! I have been working as a professional pet and house sitter for nearly two years now as a source of income. I’ve always had a beautiful harmonious relationship with all animals. I have a 5 Star rating on trusted house sitters with 10 public reviews. I can’t post the link here because of rover’s restrictions, but I’d be happy to share with you. My schedule is flexible, as I work sometimes as a substitute elementary school teacher, yoga teacher, and a babysitter. I also have my own small business! I am usually able to be very available to care for pets during most hours of the day. I provide care in whatever way is needed and makes the animals and their owners most comfortable. When housesitting, I prefer to stay overnight with the animals, to ensure the best care for the animals. I am respectful of the space I am in and have had many reviews from people I’ve sat for that I leave their homes cleaner than when they left :)

About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals the best possible life & experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and owned for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover. Im passionate and safety oriented. I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.

“Just arrived home after long vacation and cats are happy and doing well. Bex took care of them and kept us updated when we sent texts asking how things were going. Her replies were prompt. We are used to getting daily photo updates from past sitters so even though that didn’t happen, we knew cats were in good care. I would recommend Bex for your pets.”

About: Hi, I’m Tori! I am a current university student at UC Santa Cruz. After my daily classes I have a bunch of free time to care for pets! I have many years of experience caring for pets, I’ve grown up with my two dogs and my grandma’s cat. I am very comfortable with midday walking, feeding schedules, cat care, and administering basic medications. I have my own vehicle and can easily commute. I have a very light schedule this school year so I can be very flexible and attentive to your pet. :) All of my classes fit within the average work day so I am free in the mornings and evenings on weekdays. I am very flexible for times on weekends. Your pets safety is my priority! I am always careful to prevent accidental escapes and follow all entry/locking instructions. Any personal information shared will be kept strictly confidential and I will be sure to respect your space. Food and water will always be given on time. I am also happy to provide photo updates and litter box maintenance.

I am so happy that my neighbor recommended Dawn to care for our cat Keiko. She has been so amazing. Our cat is shy and never allows anyone to get close. In the past, anyone who tried to care for her could not get her to come out from her hiding place. Dawn was able to connect and make friends with her. I loved the daily photos, and the feedback that she was able to pet her. I will be happy to recommend Dawn to my friends when they need a wonderful sitter for their fur babies. Nicole and Jim

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Scotts Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Scotts Valley is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,529 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Scotts Valley. 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 .

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.

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 .

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 , 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.
