Gretchen was really great with Suni and spent some time with him outside. She sent photos and updates during the hour and put up with the process to kennel him when she was leaving. We would definitely book with her again.

Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip, I provide dependable pet sitting and house sitting services so you can travel with peace of mind. As a lifelong animal lover and owner, I enjoy caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am dependable and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I currently have two cats, Gizmo and Truffle, but I have owned many different types of dogs and cats throughout my entire life. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently self-employed part time and primarily work from home, so I am able to be home with your pets the majority of the time. I might be gone for 1-3 hours some days. It varies. I am happy to care for your pets in your home or mine, including staying overnight. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a familiar routine, I will provide trustworthy care tailored to them. In my home, I currently have two cats, Gizmo and Truffle. I can board your pets in my home as long as they are comfortable with cats. Both my cats tolerate dogs and cats well. I can also stay at your home while you’re away or do drop in visits/walks/feedings, depending on your preference.

CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.

Virginia did a wonderful job keeping Hugo fed and happy while his family was gone for a few days. She came 3x’s a day and was on time. She left great pictures of what Hugo did during the drop-ins and walks It was helpful to get these updates and we were reassured that Hugo was happy and well taken care of. I would recommend Virginia - your pet is in good hands with her.

About: You need a dog sitter? I’m definitely your girl. The reason I’m different apart from other dog sitters is because no matter where I go I’ll stop to say hi to your dog and even gotten offers to dog sit from a few customers of mine from my job. Which, I was more than happy to do so. But, I mostly dog sit for my friends and family for some dog experience. I’m very caring, patient and playful with animals. I even noticed how excited they get when they see me again. Give me a shot and I promise I won’t let you down! I’m looking to take the next steps branch out and try something new so I’ll be available full time. If you have any questions feel free to message me. I usually take care of pets at clients home only because it’s easier for the dog to not feel stressed out over any transitions. So I like to make the pet feel as comfortable as possible like sit down and figure out the way the dog likes to eat, play, sleep, drink, walk, and how they respond. For example, if I notice the dog doesn’t like to eat out of the bowl I’ll put a little bit food on my hand or on the floor to see how they respond that way little by little they start to feel more comfy with me. I also like to make sure the dog enjoys walking by trying to avoid running into other dogs and making sure I give them the time and attention to go to the bathroom whenever needed. I do like giving treats to the dog to help them feel happy. I also like to get their bed ready for them so they’re nice and cozy. I also like enjoy play time like catch or just sunbathing with them.

About: Hi, I’m Alexis! I have experience with both cats and dogs sizes. I currently have four cats of my own, so I understand different personalities and needs. I offer patient care, whether your pet is shy, playful, or senior. I’m here to provide walks, feeding, litter box cleaning, and check-ins with love and care. I am happy to help with walks, feeding, or check-ins in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. Feel free to message me with any questions or to check my availability. (🎄I will be available during the holidays 🎄) I always treat every home and pet with the same care I give to my own. I will follow all client instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, or making sure doors and gates are secure. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners by being respectful, reliable, and keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own space.

She had amazing customer service! Unfortunately my pupper had burned his paws so I was very nervous with leaving him with a sitter but she took amazing care of him, kept me up to date about everything. Xander wasn’t really able to walk when she picked him up and by the time he came back he was running and playing. I really appreciated her. She is a true animal lover and I was very lucky to find her. I definitely will be using her again :)

This was our second time asking Sahba to take care of our cats, and once again she did an amazing job. Sahba asked questions whenever something came up, which gave us peace of mind. She also sent us lots of photos and videos of our cats while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving our home and our cats in her care. We highly recommend her!

Kelsey was incredible! She was so kind and communicative with me about my kitties and any issues that arose (for example, my automatic litterbox got stuck and needed to be manually reset). I can tell she truly has a deep love and respect for all animals. One of my cats is very shy usually but by day 2 he was coming out to see her for treats and toys during their drop in! I came home to happy and healthy animals and Kelsey was even kind enough to bring my Amazon packages inside. This was a great experience and I’ll be using her in the future again for sure!

Abbey is great! She has taken care of our cats twice during week+ trips, and she always sends plenty of pics and updates so we know how they're doing the whole time. She is great with cats and ours love her, and we're grateful that she plays and spends time with them when she drops in. She really goes above and beyond -- she even went out of her way to wash the used cat dishes every day so we didn't have a lot of cleaning to come home to. We will definitely hire Abbey again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Calavo Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Calavo Gardens on Rover is $10.7 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 3,915 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Calavo Gardens. 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 Calavo Gardens. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
