Zsa-Zsa was amazing! She made time for a meet and greet on very short notice and came the next day to check on my puppy. I had planned to send him to doggy daycare, but I got cold feet when I realized how big of a shock it would be for my 5 month old puppy. Zsa-Zsa saved the day. My puppy was happy and tired when we got home. I’m so thankful and she took such cute photos too ❤️

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals and genuinely love earning their trust. In high school, I worked in dog and cat boarding at a local veterinary practice, where I gained hands on experience caring for pets with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. Since then, I’ve continued pet and house sitting for friends, family, and clients, volunteered with shelter dogs and cats through the PSPCA, and cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, iguanas, ducks, quail, chickens, and fish. After spending the past eight months traveling and pet sitting, I’ve recently made the Bay Area my home. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets like family, communicate thoughtfully, and leave your home just as clean and cared for as you left it. My schedule is currently very flexible! I am especially interested in connecting with those in need of in home sitters while I am traveling, but open to day time walks and visits as well. I am a former real estate broker, used to have my own small business. I am taking some time out to work on my art, learn some tech skills, and travel. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time as my apartment would require a hefty deposit. I am looking forward to working and traveling while using this app!

About: I have more experience with small dogs and cats. I used to play with small dogs a lot and I love their energy. I also love cats since I have two of my own. Looking forward to meet your pets. I can visit once a day on weekdays after 5pm. This visit can be playing for 30 mins, changing food or water. I can visit more often on weekend ( fri-sun) depend on your need. I prefer each visit will be as longest as 30 mins and I don't stay over night. I will make sure your pets have enough of necessities as I visit, like food or water. I make sure I can keep them a company and play with them to make them happy.

Working with Shanley was ideal in every way. She's a quick and clear communicator, she was thorough in our initial meet and greet and in her visits with my cats, and she did a wonderful job caring for them and attending to other details in the house. I will definitely book with Shanley again next time I go out of town!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines, and I’m happy to help with whatever care or services your pet requires. I have experience administering oral medications and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, lizards, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and tortoises. I’m currently in grad school and have classes throughout the week, but I have a flexible schedule outside of class. I’m available for pet care in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s routine and needs whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and make sure pets have everything they need, including food, fresh water, medications, exercise, and attention. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and other potential safety concerns to make sure pets stay secure. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, communicate with owners throughout my visit, and let them know if I notice anything unusual with their pet or in the home.

Devyn was the sweetest and took great care of our fur babies during each drop in visit this past weekend. The updates and photos that she sent us each day made us feel like our pets were safe and comfortable with her. One of our pets, Dexter, is a little tough to crack, but Devyn was able to get her to open up to her a bit more with her favorite toy! We can't wait to book Devyn again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and sweet pet sitter for their pets!!

About: i’ve cared for pets since i was young! what u like most is to have fun and make sure the animals feel happy and cared for! i love teaching new skills to pets that dont have training aswell! i’m working on gathering loyal customers to help me make this full time, i enjoy fresh air walks just as much as them. turning this into a full time job for me is amazing because it allows me to have a clear free mind, and will make my days go by easier i am very aware of everything that’s happening around me. its helps me stay conscious of what the pets are doing. in home care is fun because the pet is already in a space they know and are comfortable with and i try and make it know to them that im here to help them through our time together.

About: I’ve been around dogs since i was a little girl, i have two senior pets of my own, 15 and 12 years old! a chihuahua and a yorkie mix, and one who is up in heaven. with my senior babies i have learned when to be delicate and when they want to play, I taught my senior chihuahua how to sit and give a paw (even though he’s got a couple screws loose) its not much at all, but its a big achievement for him! with your doggies i would love to learn everything, from favorite treats to favorite routes to walk in! i will adjust my schedule to you and your pets needs! i try my best to be extremely flexible as i know that life just happens sometimes. In regards to caring for your babies, their safety and comfort is my first priority, i would like for them to be comfortable with me instead of your pets being scared, for senior dog care i understand completely the hassle of being careful and the accidents that come along (im an excellent cleaner thanks to my senior dogs) with cats and younger dogs i find i adapt quickly with new environments with the help of you and instructions, i will most likely ask a bunch of questions and it will be only in regards of your pets, everything goes the same with cats! if you would like a drop in i’d be happy to negotiate a time and place! i forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Kit was an excellent cat sitter. I have 2 cats with various medical needs and Kit was comfortable with giving my cat his inhaler, plus liquid medicine for both cats as well as carrying out complicated feeding routines. She was able to deal with my very snotty cat, which is no easy task. I would not hesitate to hire kit again!!

About: I’ve always loved animals, for their big hearts and one of a kind personality traits. My family had a Rottweiler when I was a child and she always felt like the little sister I never had. My hours are flexible so I’m open to meeting your requirements to watch over your pet. I currently don’t have any pets at the moment, so having the opportunity to cuddle up & spend some time making a new furry friend would be a treat. Overall, I’m very passionate when it comes to the safety & well-being of your pets, so I look forward to providing I am currently a freelance filmmaker, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for boarding on the weekdays, Saturdays from 10am-4pm and Sundays after 3pm it's important for me to understand the type of pet I'm caring for so that i can gauge what type of activities they're into. I love being outdoors, so if your pet is active then i can take them to some of my favorite hiking trails that are near your home. If they're homebodies then I'll typically play some tug-o-war, or fetch with their favorite toys until they're tired. Then i'll feed them and chill out.

About: I’d love to care for and walk your pets. Dog park romps, petting sessions, and snuggling provided. I care for them in my home or drop into your home as needed. Experience with large animals, geriatric and young animals. If you are traveling and need a reliable, fun, experienced sitter for your pets, I’d be happy to do a meet and greet and meet you and your pets. I have a 6year old neutered male Australian Sheppard and a 2 year old indoor/outdoor cat. Both are amenable to sharing their space with new furry friends. I'm an active retiree so I have plenty of time for your furry family members. My dog loves to play with new furry friends or chill and give them space. I have a fenced yard and dog door for in and out privileges. I accept dogs that are crated at night or free roaming. Home is well suited to pets.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Canyon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Canyon on Rover is $32.1 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 6,336 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Canyon. 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 Canyon. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
