“Neysa was a wonderful sitter! My cats loved her, and she even went to the store to pick up some food for them when my husband and I had a mix up. She's very kind and attentive.”
“Leilani is fantastic!! I appreciate her driving pretty far to come take care of my cat who needs some very sticky medication. She is a pro at giving meds and my cat seemed very happy and content when I got home. I would highly recommend Leilani!!”
“I highly recommend Jennifer to help with your pets. we had to go to the east coast recently and was a bit nervous just having our older cat boarded. Jennifer, came twice a day to care for our cat providing updates and her status as well as pictures. We were able to keep our cat in our home and our cat was much better off for it.”
“Our first booking with Kylie went very well. She made friends with Marv right away, which is not an easy thing to do. She left the house and the liter box clean. We are very happy with Kylie and look forward to using her again. :)”
“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”
About: I've taken care of pets my whole life, and am often the one family and friends call if they need someone to pet sit for them I work Monday-Friday 2pm-10:30pm so I would like to do my visits before work or after work. I am available on weekends as well at any time I take upmost care of pets I am walking or doing house visits. They deserve a kind and loving sitter or walker so I do my best to be that
About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime and two cats. Every animal that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I love and appreciate animals for their never ending love for us humans. Rest assured that I was responsible for all of my pets and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner, so my experience can be valuable when it comes to caring for other pets. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.
“There are no words to describe how thankful we are for Lisa‘s care and love of Derby while we were away this past week. A wildfire was started behind us just at the perimeter of our complex and Lisa was on the ball and monitoring it, ready to walk in to evacuate our girl Derby along with other residents who were evacuating with pets. being so far away and not able to be here to see if all was safe, but knowing that Lisa was with Derby during this week made us feel so relieved and tremendously helped us to feel confident that she would also be kept safe. Her care the entire week was as usual the very best on all fronts and we are just so grateful to have found such a wonderful human and sitter in Lisa! 🥰😻♥️”
About: I have grown up around pets especially dogs all my life. I have a sweet little dog named Taco Toast. I am looking forward to taking care of dogs and making them comfortable while their owner is away. All my friends ask me to take care of their dogs when they leave town because they know they will be in good hands. My townhouse is big, clean and comfortable. I live in Golden Hill and love it. Lots of good places to go on walks near by. My experience ranges from tiny toy dogs to large labs to over 120 pound dogs. I am happy to stay at your house as well. Also happy to check in on your pup or cat. I have experience living with cats as well and taking taking of cats when my friends have left town. I work remote from home and can be with your pup! I will change my routine to fit any needs as I can be flexible. I make sure each animal is safe and has what they need. I will communicate with you during your trip and make sure you are comfortable as well.
“I had never used Rover or any service like it before and I was so nervous. I used the house sitting service and Anna was so sweet and took care of my two cats. Not only were the kitties taken care of and loved on, she kept the house all clean! She sent photos and when I reached out she replied in a very timely manner! Anna made my time away home a lot less stressful knowing she took care of everything so well. Any future trips, I’ll definitely be wanting Anna to watch the cats! Thank you ❤️”

“Carla is the most amazing caretaker! I left her with one senior cat-very difficult. Also another middle aged cat. I left my two cats with her for 21 days, and when I got back Leo looked better than when I left him! I honestly believe he didn't want to leave Carla's. She is also very kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend this gem of a cat sitter one thousand percent! You can leave your feline with her with no worries.”

About: I am a very experienced pet sitter with both medical and behavioral background! Message me, anytime. I’d be happy to help! I can ensure a safe and reliable experience. I like to spend time outdoors with your pup if they can and if not I always have a good book to offer them cuddles and a peaceful napping environment I will be able to help administer medication, some grooming and anything you may need. No extra costs on top of the sitting price. Happy to help.
“There was a heatwave while we were away but we didn’t have to worry about our indoor/outdoor kitties. It was such a relief knowing Sarah was taking care of them! She sent us multiple pictures and messages to let us know how they were doing. We just got back from our long trip and they missed us, but otherwise healthy and happy! Our backyard even looks better than before we left because she watered it too! We’re so grateful for you Sarah!”
About: I've taken care of family pets for more than twelve years and had owned two chihuahuas. I can bath, walk, and play with them and keep them company. I currently own the cutest pug named Lily. I am a travel medical assistant with open availability due to it being a slow season. I like to walk every morning to the park or the farmers markets on Saturdays. If you have a fencing yard or crate, I can let them out for walks and for play. If you need help bathing or administering any medication, I'd be more than happy to help you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,219 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ballena. 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 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 .

- 93% 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 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.
