About: Over the years, I’ve taken care of all my friends dogs. I’m currently the lead babysitter for my landlord’s chihuahua. I’d love to meet your pup today! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’ll be able to prioritize your pets! It’s enriching work for me. I will adhere to whatever rules you have for your pet in their environment. I will only walk them in safe designated areas, and am extremely attentive.

“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’ve cared for animals since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ll go above and beyond for animals. I’m patient, strong, caring, and I understand the attention that each animal needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and my fur babies are family. I understand the stress of leaving your animals so I hope to gain the trust of you and your animals! I work from home so I have the flexibility of being with your pets for most of the day. I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my cat is as sassy as a dog. I have a condo with a large grassy area for walks and I take my own dogs on a 3 mile walk around the house.

About: Hi! I’m Anastasia - lifelong animal lover, cat mom, and the person who will absolutely send you way too many pictures of your pet. 🤍 I grew up with cats and two dogs, and I miss having dogs around all the time. So Rover feels like the perfect excuse to make some new furry friends. As a pet owner myself, I know how weirdly stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My cat Dylan is basically my child, so I get it. When I care for your pet, my goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible and care for them the way you would. ✓ Lots of love, attention & playtime ✓ Walks at your pet’s usual pace ✓ Following feeding instructions carefully ✓ Respecting routines, quirks & boundaries ✓ Plenty of photo/video updates ✓ Treating your home with respect Whether your pet is super social, shy, dramatic, energetic, or just wants someone nearby while they nap, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I want you to be able to leave knowing your little (or very large) best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I have a pretty flexible routine! I work from home three days a week, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and company. On my office days, I usually come home during lunch, which gives me another chance to check in and get outside. I’m also a big homebody but love being outdoors - weekends usually involve walks, fresh air, and spending time outside. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and keep their routine feeling as normal as possible while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I keep a close eye on them and follow any instructions you provide.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 14 years. Friends, neighbors, family, friends of friends, I’ve spent 20+ weekends a year house/pet sitting, and have averaged 3 dog walks a week for the last 3 years. I also have my Dog, Cat, and Pet First Aid Certificate as well as my Pet CPR Training Certificate from American Red Cross. Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!

About: (español abajo) I grew up with dogs and cats in Indiana and know how important truly individualized care is for each pet. I have experience owning cats and dogs ranging from round-the-clock care for tiny kittens who haven’t opened their eyes, fostering seniors with special needs, and providing enrichment activities for healthy adults and engaging walks for healthy good boys and girls. Whatever your pet’s/pets’ needs, I’m excited to meet them and build their trust. Como abogada de inmigración, también sé español! Crecí con perros y gatos en el estado de Indiana, y sé que importante es tener cuidado individualizado por cada mascota. Tengo experiencia como dueña de gatos y perros, incluso como proveer servicio por todas horas a gatitos recién nacidos, cuidar mascotas de edades avanzadas y con necesidades especiales, y hacer actividades con mascotas de cualquier edad. Lo que sean las necesidades de su/s mascota/s, estoy emocionada conocerlos y ganar su confianza. (español abajo) I work remotely from home and often have a flexible schedule to be able to check-in or provide walks during the day, and am free all evening, weekends, and early mornings. (español abajo) Yo trabajo de casa y tengo un horario flexible para poder cuidar su mascota y llevarlo a hacer caminatas durante el día. También tengo disponibilidad en las tardes, noches, temprano en las mañanas, y durantes los fines de semana. (español abajo) For care at your home, provide details on how to enter and access your pet’s food and equipment, schedule a video call to show me around virtually, or invite me over for an in-person overview. Si estoy proveyendo servicios en su hogar, por favor, deme los detalles sobre cómo entrar y acceder la comida y los materiales de su mascota, o podemos agendar una llamada telefónica o de video o una visita en persona.

Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA, 92107

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a natural connection with them. Over the years, I’ve helped dogs with training, exposure to new experiences, socialization, confidence building, and learning how to interact appropriately with people and other animals. I currently have two 8-month-old best friends at home in Ocean Beach: Disco, my friendly, playful puppy, and Allie, my confident and curious kitten. Both are young, social, and well-behaved. With your permission, I’d be happy to bring either along if you’d like your pup to get some supervised socialization. Disco loves meeting and playing with everyone, while Allie usually prefers observing the action from somewhere up high! I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, comfort level, and individual needs. I’m happy to reinforce existing training or work on leash manners, recall, impulse control, socialization, confidence, and basic obedience while they’re in my care. Most importantly, I want to provide an affordable, dependable service for our local dog community so that great walks, enrichment, socialization, and attentive care are accessible to dogs who might otherwise not get enough of them. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine with my 9-month-old puppy, Disco. Our days are built around regular walks, exercise, training, play, socialization, and downtime, so adding another pup to our adventures fits naturally into my schedule. I’m home and available throughout much of the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, training sessions, baths, or longer outings. If your dog enjoys company, they’re also welcome to join Disco for walks, playtime, training, or adventures around Ocean Beach! I care for every pet according to their individual personality, routine, training, and comfort level. I’ll follow your house rules and preferred commands, reinforce good habits, and give them plenty of exercise, enrichment, play, and attention. Safety and trust come first, especially when introducing dogs to new environments or animals. I pay close attention to body language and temperament and never force an interaction. If you’re interested in socialization, I can also bring Disco or Allie along for a carefully supervised introduction. Otherwise, they’ll stay home and your pet will have my full attention.

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years. I have experience leash training as well as house training. I currently work a part-time serving job with very flexible hours. I have reliable transportation and can take same day appointments! I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care. As a teenager I often did house/child/pet care for people in my community. I understand that I am a guest in your space and I can promise to act with respect, kindness, and integrity as I care for what is yours.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ballena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,206 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
