“Chunli is great! She helped us out on very short notice. We have a sweet 16 y/o cat and he loved her. She kept us posted at every visit and was great following up with questions. Highly recommended!”
“Devon provided excellent care for our two cats with drop in visits in our home during our vacation. She is very warm and kind with our cats and provided them with lots of love and attention. She was also very communicative and provided daily updates and photos. She delivered on all of our many requests and even provided more extended care above and beyond our contracted terms. We are very selective with our pet care and we have worked with many different pet sitters over the years in close relationships. I would say that Devon is one of the best we’ve ever worked with and I would not hesitate to recommend her services.”
“I cannot recommend Brianna enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my cat, Henry, while I was away, and her attentiveness and care were truly outstanding. Brianna kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which not only let me see how happy and well-cared-for Henry was but also gave me so much peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and took the time to make Henry feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing I could trust her completely made my time away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated, Brianna is absolutely the best choice. Thank you, Brianna, for going above and beyond!”
About: I’ve home/pet sat, walked and cared for many animals and I even have my own two rescue kitties and a 2 year old corgi boy! I worked for the Virginia Maryland vet school for three years which included dogs, horses, pigs, cows and rodents. I love all animals and would be happy to care for your pet like they are my family! I can provide most services at any time as I work fully remote so I’m dedicated to even the most particular requests. (I myself have very spoiled and particular animals) Let me know how I can put your mind at ease when your pets are in my care! I work a full time job so I’m free for anything outside of 5-2 M-F. I can also do lunch time check ins most days as well! I’m happy to accommodate to whatever your pet needs. I have two cats with medical needs and grew up with just about every pet you can image so I can adapt to whatever!
“Caitlin, thank so much for bringing such peace of mind in providing reliable, trustworthy pet sitting service for Lola. I hope we can do this again and again! Really flexible and dependable, your fur babies will be in good hands!!”
About: I’ve had many animals growing up, frogs to bunnies to dogs. They have always gravitated towards me, greeting them with loving open arms. I am excellent at walking dogs even if they are a little leash scared. I have dealt with situations where you encounter other dogs that don’t see eye to eye, staying calm and diverting the situation results in the best outcome. I understand some animals have schedules and I value those as much as the owner. Our pets are part of the family always. Currently have a lot of free time, my schedule is really open to any times. I can be flexible and work around your daily schedule. I will always enter a home with caution to assure the pet is not frightened, make my presence known, and help them welcome me. Following the rules of the house and knowing important details about the pet is very helpful to make sure they feel comfortable too. Taking the pet on the desired walk time or playing with them indoors/outdoors. Also, being respectful of the home you are in, as you are trusting me with your fur baby.
“We’re so grateful for Amy. She came by to play with and feed my cat, and he absolutely loves her. He’s picky about people, so that says a lot. She’s reliable, kind, and very helpful. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands”
“A wonderful and kind girl. Trustworthy above & beyond cat person. She stayed in touch multiple times a day and made the time pass for Bowie as if I had never left. My car has never been so at peace in my absence & I am so happy I found my new Catsitter.”
About: With a lifelong love for animals, I bring years of hands-on experience to pet care. Since I was 11, I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, walking and caring for their pets like my own. I have a dog and a cat at home, and I understand how much pets mean to their families. My goal is to provide them with all the love, attention, and care they need while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets and give them the attention they need. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can usually adjust my schedule depending on the pet’s routine and the owner’s needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are never left in an unsafe situation.
About: I have been a pet sitter for almost 15 years now. I initially relocated to California from Virginia to begin my travel nursing career back in 2019. I sadly had to leave many of my established clients back in Virginia that I loved and cared for for many years. While it was sad to part with them, I'm always looking forward to meeting and establishing new wonderful clients. Travel nursing has taken me all up and down the west coast, which has now become my permanent home. I love living in San Diego full time and the endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Taking your furry friends on walks is one of my favorite activities. I also volunteer for The Animal Pad and get to spend time caring for the amazing rescue animals that come through their doors. I’m excited to meet you and your four legged children. I work 4 days a week as a recovery room RN and my hours range from 8-10hrs. I am flexible with timing requests for most walks and am happy to provide walks before or after my shifts and, of course, on my days off. Clear communication for what your pet needs is always my best practice when it comes to caring for your animals. Whatever you need be sure to let me know and we can discuss options!

I'm also happy to take in mail, water plants, keep things tidy. Professionally I’ve managed an estate and currently work as a teacher. I'm very responsible and would love to pamper your pet. School teaching keeps me very busy M-F, and I’m gone long hours during those days, so please note that for requests on school days. Weekends are free to be at home for lots of animals care. Please be in touch with any questions. Enjoy peace of mind while you’re away on holiday. I love animals and look forward to getting to know yours too. During the school year I can car for pets overnight and weekends. Drop-ins on weekends and more time available during summer months. I care for just pets in the client's home. I appreciate talking over the phone and meeting you in person before coming to your home.
“Kristianna was a great sitter for our new 6 month old kitty Max. Was a little nervous to put him with a stranger after only having him a few weeks but he did great and we had a wonderful experience. Will definitely use her again when we need a good place for Max while we’re away!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Del Mar
Alannah is very nice and very easy to communicate with. She took great care of our cat and went the extra mile to make sure he was happy and healthy! It is always stressful to be away from our furry friends, but Alannah gave detailed updates and we knew he was in great hands. We highly recommend Alannah!
Marla was an incredible sitter!! She was kind, communicative, and went out of her way to help care for our diabetic kitty and our home. In the heat of summer we had some ants show up and wildfire scare while we were away. Marla was so thoughtful. Our kitty loved her and was happy when we came home. Thank you!! 💕🫶

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Del Mar is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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.

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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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 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.
