“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.”
“Samantha was great! Very prompt and thorough with communication. Sent lots of pictures and videos of my kitties and went above and beyond when they had an accident on the carpet.”
“Wendy and Rick were great! Our cat was diagnosed with diabetes less than a month before our vacation and required Insulin twice a day. Wendy and Rick were happy to take Pickles and he thrived during his stay. We were sent pictures of Pickles and provided updates with his eating.”
About: I’m a dog mom of two, both with chronic conditions requiring medications 2 times a day. I’ve had dogs my entire life. I can teach sit, shake, lay down, roll over, and speak. I have a big house with plenty of room and a fenced in back yard with a dog door. My dogs have had plenty of socialization with others. I currently work 7am -4pm Monday through Friday. I am able to help with things after work during the week and all weekend long. My husband has availability on Thursdays and Fridays. Monday through Wednesday for 8 hours my dogs are crated. That is a possibility for a visiting dog as well I have a dog door to a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own. I can utilize crates or a guest bedroom at my home. I can help with baths, walks, and overnight care. My dogs sleep in bed with me and there’s room for more. My very loving husband can provide a few more hours of availability on Thursdays and Fridays
About: Our family has been dog crazy every since I can remember. I've pet sit since I was a child and have had family dogs my whole life, both big and small, and love the individualness of every breed. I believe it's important to know about each breed I care for as well as each dog's personality and temperament. I am looking forward to doting on yours! I'm an early riser, so your dog's day starts bright and early with me. I work full time, but my schedule has real flexibility in it, which means I'm around for midday potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins rather than being gone for one long stretch. Daily walks are already part of my routine, and I'm lucky to live near a dog park and plenty of green spaces, so there's always somewhere good to explore. Your dog's health and comfort come first with me. I'm experienced with dogs who need daily or as-needed medications and I'm careful about following your instructions exactly as you give them. Walks are always matched to your dog — a senior who prefers a slow stroll gets a slow stroll, and an energetic pup gets to burn off that energy. My home is a safe place where visiting dogs can relax and feel at ease.
“Eden was fantastic taking care of my furballs while I was gone! They loved him and came out to visit every time which is very rare for one of my kitties. I felt great relief knowing they were being taken care of everyday.”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
About: I've spent my entire life taking care of pets. I come from a family animal lovers, so I've spent a lot of time around animals. Although I love pets of all kinds, shapes and ages, I find I have special bonds with older dogs and snuggly cats. I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats and they were my constant companions. I'm comfortable giving medications as long as I am provided with detailed instructions. I appreciate detailed notes about how to care for your pet when more then the basics are needed. I look forward to taking care of your pet and loving them as much as you do. I work my regular job from 6am to 3pm, but when i come home i love to play with my little boy, Meeko. Meeko is a 13 year old Bengal that we rescued in 2014. He was abandoned and we spent a lot of time making him comfortable with us. Now he's the most loving boy. Meeko gets dry food throughout the day and wet food for dinner. He requires his water getting changed out multiple times a day, which we provide from his favorite source, the shower. For now, I am only offering to go to the clients house and not taking them into my home. My cat has some health issues and I don't like to cause him stress by inviting other pets into our home. but I do live next to a very nice park for walking around and I live near a dog park. i love going on walks with dogs and playing fetch. Running around them them and getting out their energy is definitely a goal i reach for.
About: Ever since I was 6 years old, I've had a lot of pet experience with all types of dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I've taken care of my own, family friend's, and the neighbor's dogs. Some breeds I have taken care of are: Boxers, Pitbulls, German Shepards, Border Collie, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and Pomeranians. During these times, I'd be trusted with basic needs such as feeding, exercising, bathing, and loving these pets! Additionally, it was always important that I make sure each pet and my own know that they are able to trust me and are able to be my little friend! I'm currently available Mon-Friday up until late evenings. I'll have more than enough time to spend with your pets! I am currently looking for a new job, so this please help support! I care for other's pets by providing great quality time & bonding through playing & relaxing. I can problem-solve if there's any issues with my relationship with the pet. For instance, if they are anxious or frightened. On the owner's notes & asks, I am able to gently crate the dogs or gate them wherever they need to be when I step out, or etc.
About: I'm currently working full-time, but | have plenty of time for evening walks on the weekdays and full availability on the weekends. I will always make time for a furry friend! I LOVE being outside with the animals. We do have 2 cats at home and new friends stress them out. Due to this, I am unable to care for pets at our home, but I am excited for the opportunity to meet your furry friends! I work full time and I am a mom, but I will make all the time necessary to make sure your fur family gets the best care that they need before or after work and on weekends! I prefer to take care of pets in their own space so that they have the comfort of being in their home and only introducing a new person! I will do everything in my power to make sure they are well taken care of while you are away!
“Allison was awesome! She took amazing care of my old man cat with his medications and made sure everyone was happy and well fed. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Jade was dependable and pleasant to work with. She was so great with our kitties which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. I will definitely be asking her to sit for us again. Thank you, Jade!”
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.
About: I have been in the pet care industry since my first dog when I was 6, our family dog Skeeter was my best friend. Growing up I got my own dog in college my 3 year old black lab Otis who is as outgoing and loving as I am. I just recently brought a new wild one into. My home, my sweet German Shepherd Kiya! I currently work in a vet clinic and have worked in boarding/day care facilities. I own a home close to a big park and we love to walk there 2 times a day if not more and we love the outdoors. I work full time, I have half days every other Tuesday. Off every Wednesday. Half day every other Saturday. And I’m off on Sundays! I do have three sizes of crates if needed, however my dogs are now free roam and use their crates as safe spaces or nap time spots. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, it wouldn’t be called FURniture if they weren’t! However I do understand some parents may prefer their pets not on the bed or couch and I can continue that! I believe in structure for my dogs and will continue to follow your structure and “rules” you have set for your babies!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
“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!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
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.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Apple Valley is $20 per visit as of November 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.

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 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.

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 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.
