About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up with Labrador Retrievers and learning firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. Over the years, I’ve helped whelp litters, fostered rescue dogs (including one who became a beloved member of our family), and cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. My home is peaceful and dog-friendly, shared with my sweet mixed-breed dog, Prema, and features a large, securely fenced yard for safe play and exploration. Daily walks, plenty of attention, and a calm, nurturing environment ensure that every dog in my care feels comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m currently working from home, part-time, and teaching yoga at a nearby gym a couple of days a week, so your sweet pet would rarely be home on their own. My single-story home has a large, fenced yard where your dog can roam freely to play, take a sunbath, or chase butterflies. My 32 lb dog, Prema, will keep your dog company on daily walks and at home. The home has a doggie door, so your dog is free to roam in the house and outside. The doggie door is locked at night. Ideally, you would supply you dog’s favorite bed (although we have extras) a collar and leash, and preferred food with instructions on feeding timing, amount, etc. I want your pet to feel happy, safe, and have fun while here. 🦮
“Thank you once again to Rebeca for the excellent care she provided. This was my second booking with her. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust caring for my cats when I’m away.”
“Holly was very kind and thorough when we met and when she stopped by to feed and spend time with my cat when I was away. She is communicative and sent pictures every visit. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell my cat was comfortable with her as well. I would strongly recommend her to others to provide loving pet sitting. I’m grateful I found her to take care of my baby. Thank you holly, you rock!”

I have a beautiful border collie myself and I also have experience walking all types of small and large dogs for the Santa Cruz SPCA. I also have some experience taking care of bunnies if you have one. NOTE: my profile says that I have no pets only because I DO NOT do pet boarding in my own home. I only do day pet sitting and dog walking. I am currently available for dog walking/sitting Monday through Wednesday anytime and Thursdays and Fridays after 3 pm. I am also available Saturday after 5 pm and Sunday all day. If you are also looking for someone to help around the house along with taking care of your pet I currently work as a house keeper/ dog sitter outside of rover. If you have an untrained dog do not be embarrassed I am still more than happy to help, I have experience training my own dog through the Monterey Bay Training Club, so I am more than happy to teach your pooch a couple of tricks while we hang out.
“Terra was great. She understood my cat needed space while I was away and adhered to all of my requests. I was not able to do a meet and greet and she stepped in without an issue by talking it over on the phone. She made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with her. I’d recommend her and hire her again.”
“Excellent job again with my reactive guy. He was calm after she left which has not always been the case with dog sitters after they leave. She takes time to mellow him out and it pays off. Very grateful for your kindness and care for my pup <3”
“Thank you for taking care of our 7 month old puppy. Lillian was wonderful and really gave me a peace of mind on caring for boxer puppy. We will absolutely reach out to her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for years! Family and friends have trusted me with taking care of their pets and I love to be around pets! I have taken care of pets since I was little. I recently graduated physical therapy school and work part time on weekdays (20 hours/week) while studying for my national boards exam! My schedule varies, but I would be able to check on your pets about every 4-6 hours most days. Tuesday is my longest workday usually from 10am-8pm, but I would likely be able to stop in at some point during my day. I am only able to take care of pets in the clients home as I live in an apartment with no yard that does not allow pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Watsonville
Roxy was wonderful! I was especially impressed that she was able to catch Gidget in order to give her medicine. Gidget hides from most pet sitters because she doesn’t like her meds but Roxy was able to gain her trust and get the task done! Very pleased with Roxy and how she related to my cats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,545 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Watsonville. 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watsonville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
