“Travis was great. He responded quickly to my initial request even though he was out of town when I contacted him. He’s so easygoing and friendly. I was completely comfortable having him in my home and my cats warmed up to him quickly! I’ll definitely be using him again.”
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.
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
“Abigail was so amazing with our 2 large dogs - they absolutely loved her, and I felt safe knowing that they were well taken care of and safe while I was away :) I would hire her again in a heartbeat, and am so happy to have found her! Thanks Abigail!!!”
“Zara is absolutely amazing!! She left such detailed care notes and sent tons of photos which is really appreciated. She goes above and beyond - truly the BEST cat sitter we’ve had. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that our cats were in the best hands. 10/10 😊”
“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.”
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!
“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.”
About: As a Registered Nurse with 10+ years caring for dogs, I bring professionalism and care for your loved ones. I handle emergencies calmly and administer medications properly. 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
“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!”
“Riley took such good care of Sushi! She ensures that Sushi gets her walks and mental enrichment which is exactly what she needs. I definitely recommend her and would rebook her again for Sushi’s care. Thank you so much! 😊”
“Jazz is awesome. Sweet, genuine and a big time cat and dog person. We highly recommend her! She was punctual and went above and beyond. 🍑 Peaches definitely found a new friend.”
About: Lifelong pet lover and pet mom offering fun walks, playful energy, and a safe environment. I’ll treat your furry family member just like my own! Working part-time for the school district leaves my afternoons and weekends wide open and completely dedicated to feeding, walking, chilling and playing with your pets. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. Safety means constant supervision, secure environments, and clear communication. I strictly follow your house rules and pet routines to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.
About: I’ve pet sat my neighbors pets (1 dog and 1 cat) for 7 years. I love taking dogs out for walks and seeing them interact with nature and other passing animals. I have a 4 year old cat named Basil and I used to have a pet hedgehog named Pepper. Nothing brings me more joy than being around animals! I work remotely (east coast hours) during the week are flexible so im up early and can stop by in between calls and anytime in the afternoon as my day slows down after 2pm. Weekends are usually fully open. I think the most important thing is to build trust with your pet and with you! Let’s chat so you can get to know me and talk about the rules you want followed in your home and with your fur baby!
“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! My name is Denae, I am a central coast native that works in education. I have a beautiful German Shepard husky named Harris - we love being outside and exploring! I have a special bond with animals and look forward to walking your doggy. I am very punctual and reliable, hope to hear from you soon! I currently work as a school psychologist during the school year. However, I am on summer vacation right now! During the year, I am off on the weekends. I love to exercise pups and give them the TLC they deserve I am a well organized professional. I currently have dogs of my own that I take pride in caring for. I always make sure that dog poop is picked up in the yard, clean water bowls and filled up food bowls. I have experience with elderly dogs and dogs with special needs
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!
“We were visiting SLO with our dogs and were in need of a pet sitter. I came across Sandy’s profile and reached out. Sandy graciously said she’d watch our babies. I am so glad we went with Sandy. She was talented, knowledgeable and very educational. She took great care of our babies and sent many great photos. I highly recommend Sandy as your sitter and I’d gladly use her services again.”

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avila Beach. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
