About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of formal veterinary education, hands-on medical experience, and specialized behavioral handling. Having completed coursework in veterinary science and veterinary assisting, I bring a professional understanding of animal health, safety protocols, and early illness detection that standard pet sitters often lack. I am fully confident administering oral or topical medications, ensuring pets with strict medical needs or chronic conditions never miss a dose. Furthermore, my background with behavioral issues means I can accurately read animal body language, manage stress triggers, and provide a calm, safe environment for anxious rescues, high-energy puppies, or senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care serve as the core structure of your daily routine by setting fixed times for feeding, exercise, and play. Daily Anchors: Schedule morning and evening feedings, regular walks, and playtime at consistent times each day to give structure to your morning and afternoon. Midday Engagement: Dedicate open daytime blocks to longer walks, trick training, or grooming, which helps keep both you and your pet active. Weekly Tasks: Set aside specific days for deeper maintenance, like cleaning food bowls, washing bedding, and stocking up on supplies. Care for pets—whether in your home or a client's—centers on establishing strict safety routines, maintaining clear communication, and respecting behavioral boundaries. Safe and trustworthy environment for both settings: In Your Home (Boarding or Daycare) Since you can only host pets that get along with others, pre-screening and temperament testing are critical: Conduct a "Meet & Greet": Always meet new client pets on neutral ground (like a local park or quiet sidewalk) before accepting a booking to observe how they react to other animals and strangers. Controlled Introductions: Introduce pets slowly on-leash, watching for tense body language (stiff posture, hard stares, raised hackles) before allowing free interaction. Separation Capability: Maintain dedicated, secure spaces (such as crates, playpens, or separate rooms) so pets can eat, sleep, or rest without stress or competition. Always separate animals during feeding time. Home-Proofing: Ensure backyards are fully fenced with locked gates, hide all cords/cleaning supplies, and keep trash cans secured. In the Client’s Home (House Sitting or Pet Sitting) When caring for pets in their own environment, consistency and home security are key: Follow Their Routine: Adhere strictly to the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, medication, walk routes, and bedtime rules to keep the pet calm and secure. Maintain Home Security: Keep doors and windows locked, ensure gate latches are secured, and properly manage keys or security codes. Leash & Door Safety: Never let pets off-leash in un-fenced areas, and always double-check door latches or gate locks before letting a pet loose in a yard. Emergency Readiness: Have the vet’s contact info, emergency clinic locations, and pet insurance or payment preferences clearly laid out before the owner leaves. Communication & Trust Daily Updates: Send regular photos, videos, and brief notes about feeding, potty habits, and mood to give owners complete peace of mind. Honesty First: If a pet shows anxiety, behavioral issues, or signs of illness, notify the owner promptly to discuss next steps together.

“Marie has dropped in for my large breed dog, picked him up for dog park visits and watched him for me during vacation. I love that she has experience with large dogs, administering medications and is really hands on and passionate about dogs. My pup is not low maintenance in terms of needing monitoring for counter serving and getting into food, doesn’t like being left alone etc. and she handles it great. She always sends lots of photos and updates which helps make me feel at ease. Would recommend Marie for your dog care and needs 100%!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 976 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Stockton. 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 .

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.
