“Adrianna has done one extended stay and one drop in with our 3 dogs- plus our foster dog. We do not have easy dogs. She has been great. Definitely understands how to work with dogs of different temperaments. She is quick to respond and has always followed through and been on time.”

About: Hi, I'm Bryanna! Animals have always been at the heart of my life. My journey into the pet world began through my day job, where I work with a company dedicated to supporting positive reinforcement (R+) pet professionals. Through that work, I've learned from some of the best trainers and behavior consultants in the industry, and it's shaped how I care for every animal I meet. My philosophy is simple: I will never use force, fear, intimidation, or pain. Every animal deserves to be treated with patience, compassion, and respect. I believe trust is something we earn—not demand. My greatest teacher was my late dog, Alfie. He battled a serious autoimmune disease (ITP), and caring for him taught me how to confidently administer medications, recognize subtle changes in health and behavior, and stay calm through medical challenges. More than anything, it gave me a deep appreciation for the trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else's care. I've also shared my life with reactive dogs, so I understand that every animal has different comfort levels, communication styles, and needs. Whether your companion is outgoing, shy, anxious, elderly, energetic, or requires a little extra patience, I'm happy to meet them exactly where they are—without judgment or unrealistic expectations. At home, I'm now happily ruled by cats, who remind me every day that every animal is an individual with their own personality, preferences, and boundaries. **And if you're a fellow multi-pet parent, I get it! Those "just one more pet" fees can add up quickly. That's why I offer a very low rate for additional pets—because I know your whole crew deserves great care without the price tag piling up for every extra set of paws.** When you trust me with your companion, my goal is simple: to provide the same thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own. I'll care for them as the unique individuals they are, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I work full-time from home Thursday - Monday, so my pet care schedule is built around providing dependable visits before and after work, with evenings (after 4:00 PM) being my most flexible availability. Many weekdays also offer some flexibility for midday visits when planned in advance. My weekends fall on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which means I'm often available for additional visits, longer drop-ins, meet-and-greets, or last-minute requests on those days. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and upfront about my availability. If your pet has a specific routine or timing needs, just let me know—I'll always do my best to accommodate them and will be honest if I'm not the right fit. My goal is to provide care that's consistent, dependable, and tailored to your pet's needs. When I'm caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine feeling as normal as possible. I'll follow your care instructions closely—from meals and medications to playtime, enrichment, litter box care, or simply spending quiet time together if that's what your companion prefers. I believe every pet is an individual, so I let them set the pace. Whether they're outgoing and ready to play or prefer to observe me from across the room for a while, I'll respect their boundaries and earn their trust through patience and positive interactions. You'll receive regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I'll let you know right away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would expect for mine—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them.

About: I grew up with both cats and small/medium/large dogs. I have pet sit a couple different times outside of this app. I don’t currently have pets myself and looking for some new furry friends 😻 I currently own my own online business that allows me a lot of downtime. I’ve recently been on a fitness kick and looking to walk some pups and meet some new kitty friends! I have a small, fenced-in dog park at my apartment and easy access to large grassy areas and many walking paths. My apartment is large, spacious, and animal friendly! I have no pets myself so no distractions or issues like that. I like to run around Lebanon Hills and other parks which I’d be happy to bring a fur baby along. 🐕 I am equipped to travel to the homes of those with cats, and to you for pet sitting/dog walking.

About: I have had experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a very open and flexible schedule, and absolutely love working with animals and will treat them with the utmost love and care. I’ve just moved to the area from Florida where I was working full time in pet care, so I’m looking to build back up my clientele and do what I love the most which is helping others take care of their pets! I’m in an apartment so I don’t currently offer any boarding services. However, I’m happy to provide exercise and play time with your animals and give them all my love and care!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since i was a baby, training them or at least trying to since i was a bossy toddler. I love animals and have worked at doggy day cares in the past! I have two of my own dogs and cats that I love with my whole heart. i am very patient, i am great at training and love to run with dogs or snuggle with cats. I am currently a freshman at UC San Diego in La jolla. I no longer have a car but would very willing to take public transport or walk/run to see some adorable animals. My weekend mornings are very open and my afternoons on mon wed thursday tend to be quite free as well! I am very good at calming dogs down, and making sure I do not startle them. I would be happy to kennel/karate a dog if needed, but also sit in the backyard to watch over them for however long. Safety of pets is the number one priority on my list right next to them being hugged and appreciated.

“I found myself in a bind when my cat needed a run to the emergency vet and they prescribed daily meds and treatments the same week I had a vacation planned. I panicked, as I was leaving for my trip the very next day. I reached out to Raelynn, she was very responsive to my request and was able to get the treatments and meds done while I was away without any issue. Thanks to her I came home to a happy and healthy cat! Anytime any of my pets need anything again I’ll be reaching back out to her before anyone else. 5 stars!”

About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

“Sammy took care of our two cats as if they were her own and it is clear that both of our cats enjoyed her company, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Sammy is extremely friendly, trustworthy, and it’s obvious she is a huge animal lover. During our meet and greet, Sammy sat down on the floor to be at our cat’s level and she connected with our 2 cats very quickly. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you SO much for taking such great care of our cats, Sammy!!”

About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.

Allison took absolutely stellar care of my cat, Zelda, for just over 3 weeks with drop-in daily visits and I couldn't be happier with how thorough and communicative she was! Zelda can be a bit touchy with people she doesnt know and eats a prescription diet to combat urinary crystals, which tend to breakthrough the medication when she becomes stressed, typically when I'm on vacation. Thanks to Allison spending most of the visits playing with Zelda, there were no breakthrough flare ups at all while I was away, a first! Allison also alerted me that Zelda's autofeeder ran out of food at one point and refilled it during her visit. It's easy to tell that Allison really cares about the well-being of the animals she visits and it was an iverall pleasure to work with her - thanks Allison!

Kris did an awesome job taking care of my kitties! She came for two meet and greets to make sure they were comfortable with her and to make sure she understood how to administer their medications. She was on time each drop in and was able to get both cats their medications each time. One of my cats is very shy and nervous so it was a big relief to know she was able to handle him. She was great with sending updates with photos as well! My kitties were in good hands and we would definitely hire Kris again!

Tim is a contentious cat sitter. My cats look forward to getting treats and wet food when he visits. He brushes them and plays with them in addition to the liter box duties. He checks the fountain for fresh water and makes sure the auto feeder has food. He lets me know if they have left hairballs, etc. he also turns on different lights every day. I recommended him to my sister. He spends about a half hour with them each visit so all the boxes are checked.

Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Apple Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Apple Valley is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,751 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Apple Valley. 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apple Valley. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
