About: I have lived with animals (mostly dogs and one cat) my entire life. I started off with taking care of my own dogs and then volunteered at shelters throughout high school and undergraduate school. I have house sat and animal sat for friends and family off and on since 2022. I've watched over a range of animal personalities from very excitable and energetic to reactive and anxious. I also find it very important to maintain grooming, hygiene, and activity/mental stimulation for your pets. I do not have experience with dog training, however, I have successfully trained my own dogs with basic commands. I moved out to the Bay Area 2 years ago to be a full-time PhD student at Palo Alto University. While I do have work and school, I am remote most days in the week (Thursday through Monday), so I can dedicate the time and care your pet needs :) I appreciate having an average schedule including times they go outside, walks, feeding, and hygiene so I can help your pet have as smooth of a transition as possible. I tend to follow your pet's cues and slowly build the trust between us. I love giving them affection while maintaining the training and expectations you have. I like to take pictures and/or videos for you so you can get your daily dose of your pet!
About: I have a Cavapoo boy. He’s energetic and playful but needy at times. I love him so much and understand what your dogs mean to you!! I have experiences with puppies and adult dogs and am patient and detailed oriented I’m flexible during weekends for walks and play dates if you and family need to get away. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I’m flexible in the afternoon or early mornings! I take each furry friend seriously and aim to keep a consistent schedule. I pre scout all walking routes to avoid unsafe situations and provide you timely updates so that you know what you are expecting.
“Nasrin was a phenomenal sitter for our Pawlee and Penelope! I hate being away from them for so long, but having her do check ins put me at ease to enjoy my time away. She was very communicative, friendly, and loving to our cat and hedgehog. Her experience with smaller animals was absolutely a plus! She also went the extra mile and did the gross and dirty jobs to keep everything clean and comfortable for them! My husband and I appreciated her so much, and she will definitely be our go to for future needs. Thank you Nasrin!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I approach every pet with patience and respect, allowing them time to adjust and feel secure in a new environment or routine. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space that’s especially well-suited for smaller, mellow pets. I have a fully fenced yard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety at all times. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I create a quiet environment where pets can relax without unnecessary stress or overstimulation. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care preferences shared by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with the pet’s normal schedule, and ensure their environment remains safe, familiar, and comfortable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or mood and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary. Above all, I aim to build trust—both with pets and their people—by being reliable, observant, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s well-being.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years through family, friends, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all energy levels! I grew up with a hyper poodle-terrier mix, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and active playtime. I also currently have a mellow, cuddly polydactyl Russian Blue cat, so I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and calmer ones. As a law student, I take responsibility seriously and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and giving pets extra patience and attention when needed. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout the stay. I’m currently waiting to start my summer job in June, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for overnight stays, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks and always respectful of my client’s homes and instructions.
“Highly recommended. Both of them always go above and beyond and clear communication with us all the time. My cat got well taken care of during the days and liked them.”
“Courtney was positively fantastic. We will absolutely be using her for all future pet sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 kitties and in my opinion went above and beyond. She always provided detailed reports and lots of pictures showing our babies having a great time with her. It really put our mind at ease since this is the first time we had someone other than family watch them. Thank you Courtney! Odibee, Cricket and Doug all say thank you too.”
About: I used to volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I spent my free time walking and caring for dogs. I loved getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they got the exercise and attention they needed. I truly miss it, and I’m excited to spend time caring for your pup like they’re my own. (I also love running please let me know if you want me to take your dog on a run!) Free on the weekends! During the week I’m free in the mornings or after work at 3pm! Would love to interact with animals more since I can’t own any in my apartment. I’m very used to big dogs and or aggressive cats it’s very situational but I’m confident I can handle any pet! I don’t offer boarding at my place unfortunately.
“Corina is very nice and responsible. She took good care of our outdoor cat while we were out of town. She kindly proposed to take our packages inside and made sure our kitty’s bed wouldn’t get wet when it was going to rain. My overall experience working with Corina was very pleasant and I will definitely use her help again in the future.”
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my Roxie! She was able to come through last minute when a different sitter fell through at the last moment before I had to leave town. She always informed me when arriving and if there were any issues. I would highly recommend her especially if you have a senior dog. She took extra good care of her!!”
“Rachel is an excellent cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She is easy to communicate with and approached our skittish cat in a way that made her comfortable. We came home to a happy and healthy kitty! I would rebook her for future pet sitting needs.”
“Ariana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max. She was responsible, caring, spent lots of time playing with him, and made sure he was always well looked after. I’m very grateful for her help. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who truly loves dogs, she’s the one to pick.”
“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”
“We were leaving abroad for about two months. I’m very grateful to have found Weichen on Rover to take care of my cat. Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for the help and would absolutely trust Weichen to take care of my cat again in the future. I highly recommend Weichen to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter on Rover.”
“I highly recommend Dana for any pet sitting needs! She was an AMAZING pet sitter for our 3 fur babies! Dana has such a calm presence, the animals just gravitate to her. Even our cat engaged with her on the first "meet and greet" visit and he normally hides from strangers. In addition, Dana was able to brush our Collie, who HATES being brushed. She truly cared for our pets as if they were her own and on top of all that, she takes great pictures (our Golden is such a ham). We looked forward to her updates and pictures each day. I know our pets will be excited to see her when we book with her again!”
About: To this day I am and always will be an animal lover, they have a special place in my heart and I am excited to share that love to your precious furry friends! I am 20 years old and have been dedicated to specializing my work with animals from training to sitting for them, I am here for it! My family and I have had a few dogs through my life and I have trained every single one, even from the age of five. I am devoted to cherishing and ensuring animals wellbeing’s, your pets are in safe hands! :) Pet care is something I establish in everyday life due to the nature of their needs. I aim to take them on walks 2 times a day at least and making sure they are taken to go potty frequently. My yard is entirely fenced in and crating is no problem at all if necessary! I have two dogs at home and a cat! One dog is a cattle dog/ German shepherd mix and the other is a frenchie. Trust is a priority so I try to be as transparent as possible. If preferred I am more than happy to stay at the house or can just pop in to check in and hang out with them as well!
“Courtney did an amazing job looking after our cat during the holidays. Felipe can be skittish with strangers, but Courtney took the time to meet him beforehand, and made sure he got plenty of interaction time each day. Usually it takes Felipe a few days to readjust after we go out of town. This time it was like we never left at all!”
“Valentina took great care of my two senior cats while I was out of town. They were happy and well fed and cared for when I returned. She sent great updates with lots of pictures and I really appreciated that.”

Tingting & Willow not only came through at the last minute, but they were super communicative and took really great care of our kitties while we were out of town. They are thoughtful and thorough, I’ve never gotten so many photos of our pets and care process while we’re gone. It was great, and they clearly love working with animals.
Sophia always does a wonderful job taking care of our kitties. I’m so thankful for her expert kind care, attention to detail, and reliability. We’ve been booking with her for many years and hope to continue for many more. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our cats are in such capable and caring hands whenever we’re away. We highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!
Naks is such a caring and thoughtful sitter. She is super kind with our kitties and clearly loves caring for animals. She has been able to give one of our care his twice-daily pills without traumatized him and made friends with both of our kitties. We've already booked her twice and will definitely do so again in the future.
Sarit is absolutely amazing! When my wife and I had a trip coming up, she was the first person we thought of and that says it all. She has cared for our cats before, and we had zero hesitation rebooking her. What sets Sarit apart is her incredible attention to detail and her genuine love for animals. We always looked forward to her detailed updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is simply awesome, and we would rebook her again without a second thought. 10/10!
Lauren is a fantastic kitty sitter! She always takes wonderful care of our furry guys and sends plenty of photos, which we absolutely love. This time, she went above and beyond by quickly alerting us to a potential issue with our little guy and even handling an ant problem for us. We highly recommend her and will definitely continue booking with her in the future.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Alamitos on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Alamitos. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
