“Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. I've always been very sensitive to the physical and emotional needs of animals, and prioritize their well being above all. I've cared for pets from newborn to senior pets with specialized needs. I look forward to meeting your dog, taking he or she on walks, and providing great care. For boarding, I do have a 2-night minimum. My apologies, but I can't take aggressive breeds or aggressive-natured dogs. I have a small 20-pound Corgi/Basenji mix (in the picture), and I want to make sure the dogs I board can get along well with other dogs. I am a part-time community college English Instructor by night, so I am available in the middle of the day and early afternoon to care for your pet when you might be stuck at work. I have a big secured back yard for a dog to be in along with my own small corgi/basenji mix. I also have a smaller side yard for the dogs to be secured separately outside if need be. My own dog is an indoor/outdoor dog so your dog would be able to be in and out and hang out with my dog (if compatible). I like to give the dogs periodic walks to keep them happy.
“Belinda is a wonderful sitter! Very attentive and communicative about what’s going on with your pet. My cat absolutely loved her! Will definitely rebook whenever I need a sitter again!”


“This is my second time booking with Melanie and she continues to go above and beyond. My cats love having someone come over and spend time with them when I need to be away. Even my cat that is scared of everyone loves being around her. As someone who views their cats as their children I feel 100% comfortable letting her watch my animals and will continue to book her in the future! <3”

About: They always asked me to take care of pets, it's something I like because animals make me happy I always try to do my best to make them feel comfortable. I'm going to start studying again at the university but I'll always try to have time to take care of your pets and make them happy At the moment I only have one cat, I like to create a comfortable environment for him, it's easy for me to adapt to the needs of each pet.
About: Hi, I’m Paloma. I’m an indie filmmaker/artist with a deep love for animals of all kinds. I have a calm, gentle energy that helps pets feel safe and relaxed in their own home. I especially connect with cats and adore their unique personalities. Also love time with pups, taking them on walks to nearby parks, and playing games to keep them happy and engaged. I’m comfortable giving medications or injections if needed, and always follow any care instructions closely. House-sitting is fun for me because I’m a traveler at heart, and love experiencing new spaces/neighborhoods. I always treat each home with loving care and respect, keeping everything clean while you’re away. I may even play a little music and serenade your fur babies. I’d love to meet your companion and make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re gone. Don’t hesitate to reach out to chat and see if I’m a good match for your family! I’m a freelance artist and looking for a fun gig to fill my time with. My work requires I spend a lot of time around people, so I love connecting with animals whenever I can. I have plenty of cat/dog/bird/fish house sitting experience and I am also happy to care for your plants if you are taking a trip out of town.
About: Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve spent years caring for the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and needs. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Dalmatians and have spent the past eight years raising two friendly, goofy, and well-socialized rescue beagles with my wife. Together we have also fostered rescue dogs for weeks at a time until they found their forever home. As your sitter, I will be your dog’s primary caregiver. I’ll personally handle walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, energy level, and personality, and I’ll make every effort to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My wife is also a tremendous animal lover who enjoys spending time with every pet she meets, so your dog will benefit from being in a home with two people who genuinely love animals. While I’ll be responsible for all of your pet’s care, they’ll also receive extra affection and companionship throughout their stay. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard patio, and we live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of green space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and respect that we’d want for our own. I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule, typically on East Coast business hours. Most weekdays, I’m available beginning around 2:00 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, potty breaks, and other pet care needs. On days with a lighter meeting schedule, I’m often able to stop by earlier in the day for a walk or visit before returning to work. I occasionally work onsite once a week, but I typically leave the office between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, allowing me to be available for afternoon and evening care. For boarding and in-home pet sitting, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I will be your pet’s primary caregiver, and because my wife works full-time from home, there is almost always someone at our home to provide companionship, supervision, and peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Before every booking, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or ours, I’ll be your pet’s primary caregiver. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and lots of affection and attention. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly. We have a securely fenced backyard patio and two friendly, well-socialized beagles who enjoy the company of other dogs. For cats or pets that prefer a quieter environment, we also have a secure private room where they can relax in their own space away from our dogs if needed. I understand that every pet is unique. Some love adventure and play, while others simply want a calm environment and a predictable routine. I’ll always respect your pet’s individual personality and comfort level and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals. For the health and safety of all pets in our home, I ask that visiting dogs and cats be up to date on their vaccinations and flea/tick prevention.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old.

I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine, providing plenty of attention and care, and maintaining a safe environment. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.I will treat your pets with the same care and affection that I give my own. I’m available all day Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, I’m available after 1:00 PM. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Safety is a nonnegotiable and I will do everything I can to keep your pet safe. When it comes to instructions for your animal, I will ask as many questions as I can do to ensure everything is planned out to your liking. When it comes to trust with animals I will give them all the space they need to get use to me.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly understands pets because I’ve grown up with them and cared for them my entire life. I was raised with a Labrador, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and affection. Throughout my adult years, I’ve had both cats and dogs, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments, personalities, and care needs. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I genuinely tune into them. I understand that every animal is unique. Some need playtime and long walks, others need patience, calm energy, and consistency. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and most importantly, making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve also cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every animal as if they’re my own…with reliability, compassion, and lots of affection. Whether your pet loves fetch, belly rubs, play sessions, or quiet companionship, I’m here to provide dependable care and peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate potty breaks, walks, playtime, and feedings based on their usual routine. I’m also available on weekends and can often help with last-minute bookings when needed. My flexible work setup allows me to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular daily care or occasional drop-ins. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that works best for both of you. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to help reduce stress and anxiety. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to details like securely locking doors, monitoring surroundings on walks, and ensuring your pet is always in a safe, supervised environment. I respect your home as if it were my own. Keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to create a calm, loving, and secure experience for your pet so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands.

About: I grew up with puppies and kittens and at one point, my family had two dogs and two cats! I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them. I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family members, and I have volunteering experience at a veterinary clinic, which has given me additional exposure to animal care. One of my favorite things is teaching pets new tricks, whether it’s learning to sit, give paw, or roll over. I find it so rewarding to watch them learn and build trust with me! I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and keeping them engaged, but I’m equally happy giving senior pets or more relaxed companions the gentle, patient care they need. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed and adapting to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. To me, caring for a pet is about more than just keeping them safe and fed. It’s about making them feel loved, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I would feel privileged to spend time with your little angels and care for them as if they were my own! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and am taking a break from fulltime corporate work, which gives me more flexibility in my schedule. I currently work as a private tennis coach, so I can plan my classes around spending quality time with your fur babies! I have plenty of time to provide attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, while making sure your pet’s routine and needs come first. I’m excited to use this time to do something I genuinely love: caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My approach to pet care is always loving, patient, and attentive. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I want to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I would love to meet you and your fur baby before accepting an assignment to get to know you both and make sure I'm a good fit for your pet's needs. I want the handoff to feel warm and reassuring, so your pet can see that I'm someone you know and trust. The thought of a pet feeling anxious or uncomfortable with a new person in their space breaks my heart, so I want to do everything I can to make the transition as smooth and stress free as possible. I'm also very happy to follow your instructions to a T! You know your baby best, and I respect the routines, boundaries, feeding schedules, medications, walking preferences, and little quirks that make them who they are. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keep you updated while you're away, and never hesitate to reach out if I have a question or concern. Above all, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your little angel is safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Dominique did a fantastic job. She took care of my 3 cats for day and everything went perfect. Easy to contact, easy drop off and pick. Nice place for the cats to stay. Highly recommend.”

“Madison was great with all 4 of our cats. She took care of the water, food, and litter while we were away. Even she did more than we asked for like throwing away the litter in the dumpster, cleaning food bowls, etc. Definitely we would trust her with our cats again”

“Jay is always my first choice for a sitter because he is dependable, communicative, and caring. My partner and I know our cats are doing well while we’re away which is a huge stress relief. Thanks so much!!”

This is my second time booking with Melanie and she continues to go above and beyond. My cats love having someone come over and spend time with them when I need to be away. Even my cat that is scared of everyone loves being around her. As someone who views their cats as their children I feel 100% comfortable letting her watch my animals and will continue to book her in the future! <3

Anjelica was great! I booked her last minute and she was super accommodating, setting up a meet and great quickly. She was very communicative, followed all guidelines and provided updates with lots of photos. I felt comfortable leaving my cat under her care while I was away and was able to enjoy my time knowing all was being taken care of back home. Thanks again! 🐈⬛

As of November 2026, there are 1,127 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chula Vista. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
