About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

Trinity took in our request for drop in visits for our 2 dogs while we were away for the Memorial weekend. She did exceptionally well and did things the same way we do with our dogs with their daily routine. Trinity gave us the peace of mind while we were on our trip and kept us updated on how our dogs were doing. She even went the extra step to grab something for us at the store to treat our dog. Highly Recommend using her services and would definitely be using Trinity’s services again. Thank You Trinity.

About: Hi! I’m Rhonda, I understand that pets are family. 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.

About: I have been taking care of animals for about 10 years and counting. My family has been fostering dogs, of all ages and breeds, since before I can remember. I was taught how to properly care for animals over the years. I am knowledgeable on what your pet needs and ready to care for them while you are away. I’m currently on summer break from school, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! Very open and flexible availability. Starting the 24th my schedule will change, but my availability will be consistent and will remain flexible. While I am currently not able to care for pets in my own home, I will make sure to clearly communicate with you in order to make sure your needs are met.

About: As a former veterinary assistant with five years of hands-on experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My background has given me the skills to recognize changes in behavior, handle pets safely and confidently, and provide compassionate care—even for anxious or special-needs animals. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of love, patience, and attention on every walk. Currently I work full time but I’m looking for a side hustle. I’m open to checking in on your pets after 5pm Mon-Fri if needed and I’m off on weekends so I can be available all weekend. I provide reliable in-home pet care by following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and keeping their living area clean while you’re away.

Alanis took such great care of my anxious older cat. She followed all my instructions (even those super specific ones we all have for our unique pets?), and she was wonderfully communicative before, during, and after all of her check-ins. I arrived home to a very happy and content kitty who'd clearly had all her needs met while I was away. Thank you so much, Alanis!

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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,036 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
  • 95% 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.
