About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, bathing, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like family. I also have professional experience as a pet sitter at Dog Mansion, where I help provide safe, loving, and attentive care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and sitting based on your needs, including weekends and select weekdays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship. I prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine while in my care. I follow feeding, medication, walking, and other instructions carefully and provide a calm, supervised environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and needs and will treat your pet like a member of my own family. I also have professional experience caring for dogs at Dog Mansion.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with both cats and dogs and have loved caring for them for as long as I can remember. I recently graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Animal Science, specializing in Captive and Companion Animals, and I’m excited to bring my experience and love for animals to Rover. I’ve also had hands-on experience caring for animals at various exotic animal sanctuaries and wildlife facilities, where I’ve helped with feeding, cleaning, enrichment, handling, and general animal care. Working with a variety of species has taught me to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s individual personality and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal like they’re my own! Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play, needs a relaxing companion, or is a little shy and takes time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I am currently studying part-time, so will be available after 3pm Tuesdays- Fridays! I can be available Saturdays and Sundays as well upon request! I am totally comfortable adhering to any in-home standards you have in place for your pets. This includes crating, strict feeding procedures, and specific behavioral need.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs as a child, which gave me an early appreciation for the companionship, care, and attention pets need. I currently have three cats, ranging from 2 to 6 years old, and I adopted each of them when they were young kittens at around 2-3 months old. Caring for them from kittenhood into adulthood has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, grooming, playtime, and caring for multiple pets at once. I’m also comfortable caring for shy or nervous pets and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient and willing to give them the time and space they need to feel safe. I can follow detailed care instructions closely and have experience giving oral medication when needed. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that means playing with them, going on a walk, giving them treats, keeping them company, or simply sitting nearby so they feel comfortable. I treat pets like family and will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m often able to accommodate short-notice requests and can also plan ahead for longer visits or pet-sitting needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep their schedule consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to come to your pet’s familiar environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, treats, basic grooming, medication as instructed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide and do my best to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I understand that some pets may be shy or need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and happy to let them approach at their own pace.

About: I previously worked for one year at a professional cattery, where I cared for cats of different ages, personalities, and special needs. I truly love animals—I currently have two cats and a chinchilla—so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I’m familiar with basic pet health, behavior, and stress signals, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, or comforting shy or sensitive pets, I approach every animal with patience, gentleness, and genuine care. I work on Sundays and Mondays, but I have flexible availability on the rest of the week. I’m fully available for visits and cat sitting from Tuesday to Saturday, and I can often adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I always prioritize safety and a calm environment. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and well-organized to ensure your pet stays comfortable. I’m experienced in handling different temperaments, and I always introduce new pets slowly and respectfully. With my knowledge of basic pet care and behavior, I make sure each animal feels safe, understood, and relaxed throughout their stay.

About: My name is Heidy and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m the current dog mom of an almost 11 year old chihuahua mix named Blue and a 2 year old beagle named Gunner l. I love animal and love caring for them. I worked as a nail salon receptionist , for two years where the dogs were the store mascots.

I currently I’m going to school for RVT and work night at Trader Joe’s. I am available every day during the day to care for your fur babies while you’re at work. I follow instructions and directions very well. I can care for your pets in your home in a safe and loving manner that would make your pets feel at easy with me.

She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”

About: I have broad experience in general pet sitting and dog walking through both private companies and personal clients. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including rabbits, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and dogs of all sizes. I’m currently pursuing my undergraduate Pre Veterinary Degree at Cal Poly Pomona, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and stress free. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and individualized attention so every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. As a college student, I often have large gaps between classes in my schedule, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend meaningful, unhurried time with pets. This makes it easy for me to accommodate for what you and your pet need! I’m reliable with scheduling and plan my commitments carefully to ensure pets receive the attention and time they deserve. I take safety and trust very seriously, and I understand how important it is for clients to feel comfortable inviting me into their home. I follow all care instructions closely, respect clients’ space and privacy, and make sure pets are always in a clean, secure, and calm environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and communicative so owners can feel confident their pets and their home are in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m Valerie, formally an Anaheim pet sitter to now your local pet sitter here in La Puente 🐾. With over 11 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I know how to make every fur baby feel safe, loved, and at home. 🥰 Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, play dates, or overnight stays, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable giving medications, handling senior pets, and caring for animals with special needs. Plus, we keep a house full of toys, treats, and even a water filtered fountain that our pets love, so visiting fur babies feel just as spoiled! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m always around to give plenty of playtime, and attention. Most importantly lots of love and cuddles! I live with my fiancé (also another fellow animal lover), along with our two dogs and one cat, so your pets will always have company and never feel alone. I can cater to what your pet wants and needs when you bring them over to my place. We will keep a look out for your pets in our house as they are ours.

About: I'm super patient and I'm very attentive. I just love looking after others in general and I find joy in work like this. I've looked after my sick parents and after my sibling most of my life, I was also one of the eldest kids in my church community so I was depended on to look after them a lot of the times as well. From there I was depended on for other things like looking after the occasional pet by family friends from the church and from my own friends. As of right now regularly help take care of my girlfriend's little Pomeranian and I love him. Right now, all I am is a full-time student so other than my classes I have very little commitment and will be free for most requests. Even if my schedule overlaps I also have a very flexible schedule so I don't have to consider if I'm free too much. When with a pet, I am not just physically present but mentally too, ready to anticipate any need and determine how to satisfy it. Always ready to look out for any potential danger and on my toes to be ready to deal with anything if needed.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my precious pups, from daily walks to “poop-patrol” in the backyard. As of now I dog-sit and cat-sit for my neighbors and friends. I have experience with all breeds and sizes, especially having grown up with my 100lb gentle giant, Rusty, and now with my own silly little terrier, Winnie, at home. I’m truly an animal lover at heart and would love to help people out by providing loving care for their furry friends! :) I currently go to college at Cal Poly Pomona, and love to take care of animals within my schedule. Whether that be taking them out for walks or stopping in to care for them and give them some company while their family is away. :) When I dog sit I take care of all the tasks the owner outlines for me while hanging out with the pup and giving them some love. This includes playing with them and their toys, taking them outside or on a walk, or by simply hanging out and giving them some pets, whatever seems to be their favorite. When I cat sit it follows a similar routine of taking care of my outlined tasks while socializing with the kitties. I’ll sit down with them and give them pets or treats (if allowed) and play with them as well if they’d like to. When I take pets for walks I follow whatever outlines are set for me and take the pup for a nice walk around the neighborhood, and usually to a park if one is near.

Abagail was very responsive, communicated well, and was able to handle a couple of additional tasks I requested (I had a package dumped on our front porch while gone, and have a bonsai that needs daily water, for example). The last time we used a sitter, the cats never emerged for that person. But they came out for Abagail on the very first day (well, except for 1, which was absolutely on brand :). She was thorough and tidy, and upon our return, the cats seem friendly and well adjusted. Highly recommend and would use again! Thank you 🙏🏻

I just moved recently, so I needed to find a new cat sitter before leaving town for a week. Ann went above and beyond with my two kitties. She was quick to respond to my booking request, left very comprehensive notes during each visit, and even brought toys and a treats for them. The house was spotless when I returned, and both my cats were in good spirits. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future, she’s an excellent sitter and loves animals.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Citrus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Citrus is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,631 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Citrus. 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 Citrus. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
