“Zara took care of our cat while we were away for two days. She spent time to play with her favorite toys and gave us great pictures and reports from their time together. It was so nice to be away and feel comfortable that our girl was getting quality care from Zara. Zara was also super accommodating with a schedule change that we had and was so kind through our interactions. Thank you sooo much Zara!!!!”
“Travis is the best! We feel so grateful that Milo our precious kitty is well cared for by him whenever we leave town. Travis is so responsible, reliable, and caring. Our Milo loves him! 🐯🙌🏽♥️”
“Jazz is great! She was reliable and professional and took great care of our kitty. She did everything just as we asked and we can tell our kitty was well cared for. Jazz will definitely be our go to cat-sitter. I don’t think I could have enjoyed my trip without the updates and pictures of our fur baby.”
“Grace took very good care of our kitty while we were gone and kept us very well informed with pictures and updates. Also, very responsive to our needs. Will definitely use Grace again.”
“Joshuah is a great guy, he truly cares for the dogs he walks. We ran out of food while abroad and he stepped in to buy just the right kind Otto needed (real food). Thank you Joshua! Look forward to another visit.”
“Kayla took great care of my two cats while we were away! It was very comforting to know that they were being looked after by a fellow cat-lover. One of my cats can be a little feisty, but Kayla was patient with him and got along with him just fine. We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
About: Over the years, I have had dogs, cats, rats, chinchillas, bunnies, horses… you name it! I love animals and am always happiest surrounded by furry friends, I would be honored to help care for yours! I have a lot of experience giving medicines to my own animals as well over the years, so am happy to take on senior/complicated animals! I work weekdays as a nurse, and am mother to a 10 year old. I can do walks and drop in visits weekday evenings. I am available to sit any day of the week as long as your pet is ok being home the 8 hours I am at work. I would love all them before and afterwards and be home in the evening! If you have any special species/ requests please ask!! I will do my best to be available :) I am an animal lover, and my own pets get showered with love and attention daily... They are part of my family! I will treat yours like they are my own, and am prepared to give them the love they are missing from their owners while you are gone!
About: I don’t have any of my own, but throughout my childhood we had 1-2 dogs at all times. I’ve always loved dogs, but my apartment won’t allow them so now I live vicariously through this app. I have weekends off and work from 7a- 3:30p daily so afternoon walks or pet sitting can be arranged around that. I’d love to add some walks with a pet. I’d be happy to help care for a pet in their own home. I work during the day, but would be overjoyed to have a pet at home to take care of.
“Riley has been such a great help with Max, we both work full time and sometimes our schedules do not align and Riley has been that savior for us!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. Max has been having some tummy issues as Great Danes do and didn’t hesitate to step in and help clean up one of his accidents 🥲🥲. Could be more grateful 🫶🏽”
About: I’ve helped out with both cats and dogs. I’ve been a dog/cat owner, sitter, and walker throughout my life. I love animals and will welcome them with open arms! I have a hybrid schedule so I’m remote Thursday-Sunday! I usually am only out of the house for an hour or two, and would enjoy bringing them along if they’re comfortable! I have a fully fenced yard, no grass, so there will be frequent walks! I enjoy having animals close by so will allow them in my room and on furniture near me!
About: Cal Poly student, 4th year Animal Science major on the pre-vet track. I have experience in and out of the classroom caring for dogs of all sizes. I have a pittie at home away from college and have grown up with both small and large dogs. Through my time at Cal Poly I have learned how to properly approach animals in a manner that creates a welcoming and calm experience for them which is very important in unfamiliar settings. I also have experience working with untrained, disabled, and high medical needs in dogs specifically. Pet sitting experience for about 5 years on and off. Over the summer I will have nights and majority of the day free for pet care including early mornings! I have class on MW 10am-3pm and TTh 10am-12pm so anytime before and after I am very flexible! Respecting your home and space is always a priority and most importantly keeping your pet safe! Double checking closed doors and keeping a close eye so they don’t get into anything is something I’m well versed in for the sneaky ones!

I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I work with all kinds of dogs -anxious pups, senior dogs, and dogs of all ages - so I’m comfortable with all temperaments. I’ve cared for my own two dogs, my parents’ dogs, and friends’ dogs for years. Your pup gets professional-level care with lots of love, exercise, and photo updates throughout our time together. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I have excellent availability for your pet care needs. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and am available for walks and drop-ins. Whether you need early morning walks or check-ins, I can usually make it work! What you can expect: * I follow your pet's exact routine and care instructions to the letter—no guessing * Regular photo and video updates so you have peace of mind * Immediate communication if anything seems off with your pet * Your vet info and emergency contacts readily available at all times In your home (if house sitting/drop-ins): * I keep your home secure * I treat your space with complete respect * Your pet stays in their comfortable, familiar environment
About: I am a lifetime animal lover, pet owner and pet shelter volunteer. I have a lot of experience with pets with behavior problems and/or reactivity. My best self comes out around pets. I already love yours. I am a 'stay-at-home' mom so all my tasks are flexible. I am available for dog walking and cat/dog/other check-ins. I have a fenced yard but will not be doing Rover dog visits at my home. If requested, I would love to take your dog on field trips like the park, beach or a hike
“Thank you Cameron for doing such a great job taking care of our golden retriever Sam... Much appreciated, you made us feel very confident that Sam was well cared for... Sincerely, Steve & June Singleton”
About: Hi! I’m an Animal Science student at Cal Poly who loves caring for pets. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I always make sure animals feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. ’m a full-time Animal Science student at Cal Poly, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule is flexible outside of class, which allows me to plan walks, check-ins, or pet sitting visits throughout the day. I’m typically only away for class for a few hours at a time, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets making sure they’re comfortable, exercised, and getting attention. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, and care into my routine and making sure each pet gets the time and care they need. I care for pets by following the routine and instructions their owner provides so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise through walks or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also happy to provide enrichment like games, outdoor time, or relaxing company depending on the pet’s personality and energy level. For cats and other pets, I make sure litter boxes are clean, food and water are maintained, and they get playtime or calm interaction if they enjoy it. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy and ensuring pets stay safe while I’m there. My goal is to maintain the pet’s normal routine as much as possible so they feel happy and stress-free while their owner is away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Avila Beach on Rover is $24.7 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 356 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Avila Beach. 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.

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.
