Analiese took great care in making sure to entertain my kitty while I was away. This is my second time booking with her, and she was great at sending photos with updates every morning — I trust her and will boom with her again!

Kayla was great with my cat, Otto! He’s a bit nervous with new people but she was very patient and understanding with him. It was my longest trip away from Otto but she gave me regular updates for every visit and answered any questions I had while I was out. It was good to know my boy was well taken care of so I’ll be booking with Kayla again in the future!

Zara did an amazing job taking care of our Coco kitty! She was great about sending us lots of pictures and notes about her visits with Coco. This helped us enjoy our stay away so much more knowing that Coco was being well cared for and loved. Can't thank Zara enough for her excellent service and support.

About: I've adopted many cats over the years, and have turned a feral cat into one of the sweetest indoor cats. I have had a few years experience volunteering in an animal shelter, taking care of dogs and cats. I love all dogs and cats and will care for your pets as if they're my own children. I work full-time, but have joined Rover because I really love dogs and cats. I am available all day Saturday and morning and early afternoon Sunday, When I take care of your pet, you can rest assured that your dog or cat is in good hands and will be treated with love.

About: Hi! My name is Yujin Emily and I am passionate about caring for animals. My own dog, Mae, is a lovable and unique little beast! I don’t get to see her so often anymore, and really miss taking care of a furry friend. I have interacted with dogs of all temperaments and can understand what it’s like to care for a sensitive pet. Let me know in particular if your pet has any unique qualities and I will cater my care to them! I work overnight but am available throughout the day for walks and day-sits! My shifts are generally Friday night through Sunday morning, but I am available for house/overnight dog-sitting throughout the week. I do not have the space in my own place to board pets (unfortunately) but have experienced shadowing other dog-sitters, as well as long-term house-stays and pet-sits. I am conscientious and respectful of the pet and owner’s needs and preferences first.

About: Hi! I'm a senior Animal Science student at Cal Poly with over four years of pet sitting experience. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, multi-pet households, and administering oral medications. I know every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always take the time to follow your instructions and keep things as consistent as possible. You'll also receive plenty of photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. I’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 understand that trusting someone with your home and pets is a big decision. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I stick closely to each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I'm comfortable with energetic dogs, senior pets, and homes with multiple animals, and I always pay close attention to their behavior so I can recognize when something seems off. As an Animal Science student, I've gained experience handling and caring for animals in a variety of settings, which has taught me the importance of patience, observation, and safe animal handling. Whether your pet wants to stay active or simply have someone nearby while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they need.

About: I grew up with dogs and had my first cat siblings in university. I’ve grown as a person because of them and understand and appreciate their special place as family. I’ve volunteered at the local shelter, as an adoption admin at a dog rescue and shelter. I’ve taken my dog to training and agility and learned a whole bunch more training skills at the dog rescue and shelter. I am also a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner which my own dogs and clients have enjoyed and appreciated. It was my nightly thing with one of my dogs. I have a special bond with animals in general and deep ones with some. It’s such a blessing, a gift I appreciate. I tutor, have a part time job, and I offer Jin Shin Jyutsu, bioresonance, and Human Design services. At this time I can only take dogs and cats who can be left alone for 4 hours at a time. Building trust with your dog and cat is of utmost importance. I am approachable and it’s important for them to have their space. They are the priority. I will play with them, practice obedience or tricks with them with positive reinforcement.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Avila Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 367 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.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
