About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, walks, cuddles, and making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. You can expect: * 🐶 Personalized care based on your pet’s routine * 🐱 Plenty of love, attention, and playtime * 📸 Regular photo and video updates * 🏡 Respectful, dependable care in your home * ❤️ Patience with shy, senior, or energetic pets I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’ll keep you updated and ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats. I currently have a Belgian Malinois/Shepard mix, a goldendoodle, and a mini poodle. I’ve also had senior dogs with medical issues so I’m familiar with giving medications and treatments. Two of our dogs we have raised from 9 weeks old so I’m also very comfortable with puppies. I’m currently not working and I love animals! I’m available for dog walking, drop ins for dogs and cats. I can also care for other animals in the home if needed (fish, hamsters, etc). I have grown up with dogs and cats. I love them both! I am very respectful of others’ spaces and leave things the way I found them.
“As much as I love/adore my dog Logan, I fully recognize he can be difficult. He’s very attached and I wasn’t expecting him to do well with a sitter. Neysa was so comfortable in handling him, so good at keeping him calm and happy. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a canine companion that actually really cares <3.”
About: Hey there! I’m a local college student currently studying to become an RN, and I’m home for the summer bringing fresh energy and a genuine passion for pet care. I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and grew up on a family farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from horses and donkeys to our beloved dogs, cats, and everything in between! Over the years, I’ve helped walk and care for dogs for many different families, including first responders and nurses with long or unpredictable work hours. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your pets! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care tailored to your pet’s needs, and my active lifestyle means your dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and playful energy. I treat every animal like family and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends! I am a senior college student at Biola University studying to get my bachelors in nursing. Currently, I am home for the summer looking to further my experience in the pet sitting business. My scheduling gives me lots of flexibility and opportunities to take care of your furry friends whenever possible. I am a very outdoorsy person and you will often find me outside enjoying sunshine by running or hiking with my dogs. Whether it’s a long walk or some playtime in the park, it’s a great way to keep your pets happy and healthy. I believe it is necessary to respect your home and maintain your pet's routine, including feeding schedules and favorite activities, to minimize stress. I send pictures and text updates ensuring you are well informed and aware of your pups activity. Additionally, I personalize each pet's playtime. Whether it’s extra cuddles for a shy pup or more active playtime for an energetic one, I know it is important for the well being and safety of each dog to be aware of their personal needs and preferences.

“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.”
About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with almost a decade of pet sitting experience. I’ve been caring for other people’s pets since I was 10 and currently have my own pug. I offer flexible availability and loving, reliable care. I’m available three times a day, morning, midday and evening, on Tuesdays, Wednesday’s and Thursdays to care for your pets. Whether it’s potty breaks, playtime, walks, or meals, I’ve got your furry friend covered throughout the day! When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide and make sure they get more than enough love, exercise and attention, and I always treat your home with respect, leaving it just as you left it (or better!).
About: I am an animal guy with experience watching many kinds of dogs and cats. I own two pugs one of which is a senior dog and the other a puppy. I have experience with breeding and raising dogs. I love big dogs and small dogs and all dogs in between. I am comfortable around deaf dogs and all dogs with special needs. I am disabled so your pet would be my only priority. I work around my wife's schedule but she only works 3 days a week. Your animal is very special and deserves to be cared for in their home environment. I can play, sit and read or watch TV with your pet. Anything you desire. Short walks for small dogs only as I am disabled, no large dog walks I'm sorry it's a physical safety concern.
“Jennilee was a great help. She took care of our two dogs and one cat for an evening feeding and playtime for a one-week period. She stepped in last-minute and did a great job with pets and a house she didn’t know. Thanks, Jennilee!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,171 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 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.
