“Molly has been very responsive and easy to communicate with. And of course most importantly, my cats have gotten comfortable with her quickly. And she could even tell them apart quickly (two all-black cats), which is a rare achievement! She's been great with sending pictures, asking questions, and feeding my cats, both following instructions and noting additional things that were needed. It's a relief to find someone I feel comfortable trusting with my cats.”
“She was awesome with my pup! Gave him everything he needed and kept me updated the whole time. Followed all my instructions and always responded to my texts right away. Definitely would recommend to any loving dog parent.”
About: Active, responsible caregiver providing loving attention and daily exercise. Experience with senior dog care, my focus is safety, comfort and fun! Also love cats very much. I have a flexible schedule and can pop in to care for your pets at different times during the day. Happy to do extended 60 minute visits as needed. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention during every visit. Please always feel free to leave special instructions- medications etc. Have cared for Diabetic dogs as well.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!
“Sophia did an excellent job replenishing the wet food in my cats' refrigerated feeders. She also topped off the water fountains. Highly recommend her to handle pet care even when you use high tech equipment like me!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I have over 5 years of experience pet sitting for neighbors and clients on ......... I specialize in drop ins and dog walking! I have walking training through front street animal shelter and volunteered there in my free time! I am a very active and loving person who wants to do the best for your pet! I am willing to do what it takes to give your pet all the love, attention, and care they need! I’m a fast learner and will give your pet a stress free care experience! I am free Monday-Thursday after 6pm and all day Friday-Sunday! Please send me a message and I would love to meet your pet! I am a college student at Cal State Monterey Bay getting my liberal studies degree so I can be an elementary school teacher! I am free Monday-Thursday after 5:30 and Friday-Sunday all day! In the past when I have done drop in visits for cats/dogs I have feed them, picked up after them, and gave them a lot of love and attention. But I am willing to do whatever the animal in my care needs!
About: Can you believe my parents didn't want a dog until I came along? When I was "finally old enough", I raised my first puppy. I've raised 3 puppies (family members) since then. What I have to offer: •available day + night - work from home (weekends off) •no breed or size restrictions •if your dog is high energy and large, then he/she must know basic commands like no, yes, come, stay. ♥ I will only care for one dog at a time (an exception can be made if you have two) since I want to give your dog (and mine) all the love. ♥ About me: my name is Scarlitte (pronounced scar-lett) Alameda, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics. I love to bake, relax outside with a cup of coffee, and dogs (of course). I moved back to the Monterey area in 2024. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I'm not active on them, but I like to check up on friends and family once in a blue moon. My dog, Luna, and I visit Broadneck dog park in the morning for about an hour. Here your dog can •run •zoom around with other dogs •play fetch •lay down under the shade. Luna normally sleeps until 3pm. She has a potty break around noon. In the evening, we drive to the dog park, and later we lay on the couch together. I have a fenced in backyard, many dog toys, leashes, an Apple ID tag, and a extra dog bed available. The water bowl is regularly cleaned and refilled. Because I only care for one dog at a time (other than my own), my house is clean. The only exception is rainy days since dogs have muddy feet. I can provide: • one on one attention • the best pets and rubs • speaking in a special voice for dogs • being active with your dog • on weekends my husband will remix songs he knows and insert your dogs name (don't tell him I told you though) • cool math facts since I'm a mathematician.
“Eleanor was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. She was friendly and open and very supportive with us, and a very kind and thoughtful companion to our cat when we left. We absolutely appreciated and loved the daily communication from her, including pictures. When we needed an extra day of help she was also very amenable and willing to come in. When we came back from a long day of traveling we were thrilled to see that the place looked better than we had left it -- Eleanor really picked up after herself and our cat and everything was looking great. I would not hesitate to recommend Eleanor to anyone who is needing a pet sitter.”
About: Hi there! I currently have a cat (got him in 2020, when he was six months old!) and he is the light of my life! I go above and beyond to take care of him, and treat all animals the same way. I’m actually in college to go down the vet route :) My cousin has 2 dogs (a maltipoo + pomeranian) which I help take care of quite often! I help with walks, bathing, picking up after, playing, and giving lots of love to <3 Your pet deserves the sweetest treatment, which I am to ensure! I’m currently in college, so Saturday and Sunday work the best for overnight care! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, I only have 1 afternoon class, so I would be glad to come over late afternoon/night! In your home, I will respect your environment and keep it clean. My focus is entirely on the well being of your fur baby! <3
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Huskies, so I’ve gotten to know just about every size, personality, and energy level in between! I’ve been actively involved in caring for my family’s pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking within my community since I was 11 years old. As a rescue dog owner myself, I understand that not every dog is outgoing, confident, or immediately comfortable with new people and situations. I have plenty of hands-on experience with timid, anxious, reactive, and quirky dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved, no matter their personality or background! I also have lots of experience caring for puppies, so I’m no stranger to the extra attention, patience, and energy that comes with young dogs! From frequent potty breaks and playtime to reinforcing routines and positive behaviors, I’m happy to adapt to your puppy’s needs. Above all, I know that pets are family, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving them in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you the peace of mind to feel just as comfortable while you’re away! As a college student, I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care! My only regular scheduling conflicts are Wednesday evenings and Friday midday, so I’m available most days throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a quick check-in, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs and routine! I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care instructions. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and enrichment through walks, toys, or quality time together. For cats, I’m also happy to take care of litter box cleaning and other daily needs. I always make sure pets are secure and the home is left tidy before leaving. I also prioritize keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing while you’re away! I’m happy to accommodate any additional instructions or preferences to make sure your pet receives the best care possible.
“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!!!”
About: I was a Kennel technician for a dog shelter In Texas. I have also raised 4+ dogs over the course of my life (two were family dogs). I am currently open to any day of the week for some services. Although for other services Monday through Friday will have to be flexible. I have a dog park in our neighborhood, lots of sidewalks that I love walking our dogs in. I have one sweet dogs that can keep your fur baby company and one cat as well. My dog is crate trained and can be kennel and separate if needed!
About: Hi, I’m Alex! What sets me apart is my depth of experience and attentiveness. I cared for my own senior dog for many years, which gave me a deep understanding of gentle routines, mobility needs, medication awareness, and emotional comfort and connection. I’ve cared for other pets such as birds and reptiles, which sharpened my ability to notice subtle behavioral and health changes. In addition, I’ve spent years observing professional pet-sitting practices and routines, giving me a strong sense of what high-quality, reliable care truly looks like. I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and respect to every pet and home I’m trusted with. Availability & Scheduling 🐾 I work full-time M-F, so I primarily offer morning and evening walks and drop-in visits during the week, with additional flexibility on weekends. I love helping pet parents maintain their pets’ routines, whether that’s a morning potty break, an after-work walk, or an evening check-in. Please message me with your pet’s schedule so we can find a time that works! Overnight care is available on a limited basis for suitable low-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs, with arrangements confirmed in advance. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routines, environment, and emotional comfort. I take a calm, observant approach—respecting each pet’s pace and preferences—while providing consistent care, companionship, and attentive support. My goal is always to create a low-stress, nurturing experience where pets feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for. Every dog deserves loving, attentive care! I’m happy to welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for walks, drop-in visits, and other services that fit their needs. For overnight care, I specialize in hosting hypoallergenic and low-shedding breeds to help ensure a comfortable environment for both your pup and me.
About: I’m attentive and I have a really good reaction time! I’m also a kind and caring individual, I love animals a lot! I had two dogs in my family and I took care of them. With them, I was able to learn how dogs think and what their needs are! I’m taking a small break from my university right now, so I have plenty of time to take your beloved pups and take care of your cats! I’m free for majority of the time, just let me know! I had a dog named Spanky, he was my childhood dog who unfortunately passed away recently. He was apart of my family so he wasn’t just a pet to me. I had a schedule for him and he would take daily walks around the neighborhood and beach. He would also eat at certain times with good quality food to keep him moving and grooving. He lived a long and happy life!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and one on one attention I give every pet. I treat your dog or cat like family, not just a job. I also send daily updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to give pets my full attention whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for, just like they would at home. At my home, pets get plenty of love, playtime, and a calm space to relax. I make sure they feel at home with cozy spots to rest and a safe environment to explore. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel secure and stress free. I treat every pet like my own, whether I’m in their space or they’re in mine.
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and was even kind enough to bring in my mail! It was a relief to know my senior cat was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since the age of 17. Family and friends have trusted me on walking and feeding their pets when they have vacations or are simply just busy:) I’m available all weekends and weekdays to play, feed, bathe, walk, give attention, and babysit if you have any upcoming vacations or urgent emergencies you may have! While you're out of town, I'll make sure your dog feels right at home! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love will keep them happy and well-cared for. 🐾🏠💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 980 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Serra Village. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Serra Village. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
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.
