About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, as well as other animals like horses, otters, and seals! I love caring for and ensuring the well-being of all animals, regardless of size or breed. I am a marine biologist currently applying for graduate programs and have lots of availability! I spend lots of time working or walking which either cats or dogs would fit perfectly. I like to take notes and ask questions to ensure all logistics are taken care of when in a clients home. I prefer meet and greets prior to booking to make sure me and your fur baby are compatible as well as become familiar with the home.
“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!”
“This was our second time having McKayla watch our cats and fish tank and she was great! Good communication responding to messages and leaving the photo cards of each drop in visit. We will be happy to rebook here again and recommend her!”
“Angie came by my house to check on my cat for a few days over the holidays. She was very responsive and communicative. The pictures after her check-ins were great! I really appreciated her help and I’m sure my cat did too!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond with our fir babies. We recently moved to Seaside from Salinas and finding a new pet sitter was a bit nerve racking. But Alyssa cared for our cats as if they were her own while we were gone. Will definitely be booking her for all our future trips.”
About: I started off my Rover journey in Seattle for a few years until COVID hit, and continued to watch pets offline for military families while living in Japan for the past 5 years. Now that I’m back in the US, I’m eager to start up my Rover services again! I am mostly experienced with small-medium dogs, with breeds like terriers, poodles, chihuahuas, corgis, and shelties. I grew up caring for hamsters and parakeets, and started getting more involved with dogs and cats in university as I volunteered with local shelters and rescues. I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own, and also took in a stray kitten for a few weeks until finding a permanent home for her. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, but more recently I’ve learned a lot about caring for senior dogs as my own dog has entered the geriatric age and needs more patience and empathy. If you have a senior dog that needs special attention, I’m happy to accommodate their needs so you can have peace of mind that your pup is being cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of flexibility during the week to drop by your home for some play time and exercise! I respect that every dog has individual needs. Whether they need extra time to warm up or want space from other walkers when out and about, I will learn and your pet’s preferences and advocate for them in public spaces to ensure they are safe and comfortable.
About: I am new to Rover, but dogs and cats have been central to my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was a rotating little zoo — chicks, turtles, bunnies — but the loves of my life had four legs and fur. The first was Zhuzhu/Piggie, a Samoyed boy I got in middle school. If you know Samoyeds, you know: that cloud-like floof, that signature angel smile. I watched him grow from a tiny pup into a majestic, hefty pillow, and walked him through every kind of weather without a second thought. Then there are my two cats back at my parents' place. Bread — a white cat my sister rescued on a snack run when she found her shivering and stray on the street. She went out for bread and came home with something much better. And Xiaoxiao, an orange tabby my mom adopted — named "little" because he was the runt of the litter, though I suspect he's made up for it since. By luck, my husband and I had the opportunity to home a rescue cat, a tiny apricot baby only few weeks old, in early May 2026, and I have loved Mila like I had birthed him. I made milk formula for him 6 in the morning, fussed over his digestion and stool, took him to the vet multiple times, shopped products for him with the utmost meticulous manner. I know what your pet means to you. Your dog or cat won't just be in safe hands. They'll be fussed over, admired, and genuinely cherished. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your baby pet! I'm available for boarding, dog sitting/walking, cat sitting on weekends and weekdays before 4:30 pm. Due to my current living situation, I offer care in your home rather than mine, which honestly works out better for your cat anyway. Cats are creatures of habit and comfort, and staying in their own space, with their own smells, their own window perches and hiding spots, makes for a much less stressful experience than an unfamiliar environment. When I visit, I'll follow your routines to the letter — feeding schedules, litter scooping, fresh water, any medications or special instructions. I'm a respectful, tidy guest, and I'll leave your home exactly as I found it. My job is simple: keep your cat happy, safe, and well-loved until you're back.
“Our cats love Arlene & she loves them too. It shows in the way she cares for them like they’re her own. She is awesome about sending pics and providing timely updates too. It’s such a relief to have Arlene look after our girls when we’re out.”
“My cat has never had it so good! Previously I was sent photos of her receiving food or near her bowl; this time she was on the couch blissfully receiving pets. Highly recommend sitter and will book again!!!”
“Sara did a great job for their first drop-in engagement with Leo and Phoebe. They followed directions well, including play time, administering medication, feeding, litter box hygiene and sending me updates. They were easy to communicate with and helped to transition Leo to new food and medication while I was out of town. I will be rebooking them. Thanks Sara!”
“Sonia is amazing! She patiently worked with me to create a schedule that worked for us both. She sent daily check-ins with pictures and promptly responded to any message I sent. I was worry-free my entire trip knowing my pets were in good hands. I will definitely reach out to her next time I travel.”
“Elizabeth was an absolute miracle for Kona and for me. She is such a kind human, and it was immediately clear that she has an incredible capacity to care for and love the animals entrusted to her. This was my first time away from Kona since she lost her sister, and she has been noticeably more anxious since then. I was genuinely not confident I would be able to board that plane without worrying myself sick until I met Elizabeth. She immediately put me at ease. While I was gone, she was incredibly responsive and thorough. Her daily Rover cards were detailed, thoughtful, and honestly a joy to read. She is very witty, and more than once I found myself laughing at her updates. She also sent beautiful pictures that made it so obvious how much affection and attention Kona was receiving. What meant the most to me was how closely Elizabeth paid attention to Kona herself. She understood that Kona needed time and space to become comfortable, and she kept me updated as that trust gradually developed. I could see it happening in the photos and hear it in the way she described their time together. Elizabeth really cares. There is no question about that. Knowing Kona was with someone so attentive, patient, affectionate, and genuinely invested in her wellbeing gave me an enormous amount of comfort while I was away. I cannot thank her enough, and I would trust her with my little girl again without hesitation.”
“Denise took wonderful care of our kitty! She gave us great updates and pictures every visit, and we could see that our cat looked happy. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.”
“Absolutely amazing with my kitties. My kitties are usually so shy but Jeanette won them over in no time (I think they might actually like her better then me!) Amazing communication and pictures. Absolutely wonderful at taking care of my kitties.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve been a dog owner since I was 15, and I currently have two French Bulldogs, which has given me a deep understanding of breed-specific needs, puppy energy, and senior pet care. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read dogs’ body language, understand their moods, and respond calmly and effectively to keep them safe and happy. Professionally, I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a doggy daycare, where I gained experience with feeding routines, administering basic care, monitoring health and behavior, and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m also skilled in creating structured routines, providing gentle exercise, and giving extra love and attention to pets who need it, like seniors or shy dogs. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away. For me, every pet deserves individualized care, respect, and affection, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My combination of personal experience, professional training, and genuine love for animals ensures that every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I make sure they get fed, exercised, and plenty of love every day, and I stay on top of any special needs or routines. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their routines, supervise playtime and walks, provide lots of love and attention, and make sure the environment is clean and secure. I also watch for any signs of stress or health issues so pets always feel well cared for.
“We really appreciated Nancy’s reliable cat sitting this holiday weekend. She was consistent and sent regular daily updates. We returned from our travels to 2 very well taken care of cats!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Seaside
Mckayla was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of our cats while we were away and was incredibly dependable. Her communication was top-tier, keeping us completely updated and reassuring us the entire time. We would love to work with Mckayla again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Flora took exceptional care of our two cats while we were away. She is professional, friendly, and an excellent communicator. She always arrives on time, and is flexible when situations arise. I highly recommend Flora as a pet sitter because she is trustworthy, responsible, responsive, friendly, educated, and an excellent communicator.
I had a wonderful experience with Katie dropping in to check on my cat Penelope. Katie’s communication kept me in the loop throughout the week, providing reassurance that Penelope was well taken care of and happy. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone with pets to care for, and will be using her again in the future.

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 .

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 .
