Just got home and we were received by healthy happy dogs and cat. Brianna did a wonderful job of taking care of our three furry babies. She followed their/our routine down to the last word. Very efficient but mostly kind and patient with our furry babies. Definitely would book with her again. 5 stars all the way.

About: Im just a girl that loves dog’s . I’m a dedicated dog lover who works from home, and your pup will be a welcome companion during the day. I provide plenty of walks, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for. My day starts early at 5 AM, and after work, we enjoy evening walks to the park. I live in a gated community with ample safe space for walking, and weekends are often spent running errands or relaxing. Your dog will have the freedom to roam throughout the day, but if I need to step out briefly for errands on weekends, they may need to be crated for a short time. Rest assured, I’ll make their comfort and well-being my top priority. Im up by 5am work from home , evenings we walk to the park. I live in a gated community plenty of room to walk around. weekends we just run errands They will be free through out the day if we go run a quick errand they might need to be crated but thats usually weekends

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

I recently had the pleasure of having Anika do a walk-in visit for my dog, Willow, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I contacted Anika, her professionalism and genuine care for animals were evident. Anika was exceptionally attentive, making sure she understood Willow's needs and preferences. She took the time to play with Willow and kept her engaged. She sent multiple pictures throughout the visit, capturing Willow's excitement and happiness. It was heartwarming to see how much fun Willow was having. What stood out the most was how happy Willow was to see her . Anika instantly connected with Willow. I could see the joy on Willow's face in the pictures, and it was clear she felt comfortable and well-cared for. I highly recommend Anika for her exceptional service. Knowing Willow is in such capable and loving hands gives me great peace of mind. Thank you for making Willow's visit so special!

About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have my own dog who has been my everything for 14 years now. I have also volunteered for Petco’s Love Cat Adoption Program, which included feeding, cleaning their area, and socializing with various types of cats. In addition, I regularly take care of my neighbors’ cats. I grew up with horses and was a horseback rider for a decade, so I learned from an early age the importance of patience and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I believe every animal deserves love, safety, and care. I’m happy to visit your dog or cat based on their routine and needs. I will gladly send you pictures and updates of your beloved pet. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I am happy to play, pet, cuddle with your pet, and will treat your pet like my own. I am available most days of the week, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. With my flexible schedule, I can provide dependable, attentive care, companionship, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles. I provide personalized care by following your pet's routine, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment, and making their transition into my care as smooth and natural as possible. I will follow your instructions closely while taking the time to understand your pet's needs, preferences, and personality. Whether it's playing with their favorite toy, going on walks, or simply providing companionship, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. In addition, being welcomed into your home is something I view as a major responsibility and take very seriously. While you are away, I will always treat your home with the utmost respect.

Allen was great! We were looking for someone to drop on on our dog while we were out all day. He arrived exactly when scheduled and took care of her and spent some quality time with her. The photos were great - seeing her play and getting fed made a big difference. Knowing that our dog was being cared for while we were out for a long day helped us enjoy the day. Highly recommend Allen :)

Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs with different ages, personalities, and special needs. I understand the importance of following specific care instructions, whether that means monitoring dietary restrictions, accommodating senior dogs, managing allergies or sensitive skin, or adjusting walks to a dog's individual energy level and health needs. I have experience privately walking and caring for four dogs with varying temperaments and routines, which has taught me how to adapt my approach to each dog and make them feel comfortable and safe. Pet owners can trust that I am attentive, patient, and committed to providing reliable care tailored to their dog's unique needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care after 4:00 PM once I finish my full-time job. I enjoy spending my evenings staying active and giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My experience caring for dogs of different ages, energy levels, and special needs has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and following care instructions closely. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra attention to dietary and health needs, I’m committed to providing reliable, personalized care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I adapt my care to their personality, energy level, and any special requirements. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: I have years of experience caring for all kinds of pet personalities! From energetic pups to chill cats, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once. I often house sit for households with four or more pets at a time. I have a natural talent for making animals feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or cuddles, I’ve got it all covered. I’m able to provide attentive pet care throughout my stay with your pets. I try to spend a majority of my time at the house with your pets, including play time, walks, feedings, and I can even stay overnight. I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. My top priority is making sure they feel relaxed and loved while their owner is away. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s mealtime, walks, potty time, bed time, or quiet cuddles—so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, building trust with patience and affection.

About: Hi, I’m Karen! 🐾 I’ve always been an animal person, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love. I currently run a pet essentials business focused on helping pet parents find products for their animals, so pet care is something that is truly part of my everyday life. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, preferences, and quirks. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away while also giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. When I care for your pet, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure they receive plenty of interaction and companionship rather than simply being left on their own. For dogs, I’m happy to incorporate walks, playtime, enrichment, and whatever activities they enjoy most. For cats, I love spending time with them, playing with their favorite toys, and giving them attention while also respecting their space when they want some alone time. I currently offer overnight sitting in your home, where I’m respectful of your space and treat your home with the same care and consideration I would want for my own. Before each stay or visit, I’m happy to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and anything else that will help me care for them properly. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your pets are not just being “watched” they’re being genuinely cared for. 🐶🐱🐰💕 Pet care is something that naturally fits into my lifestyle. I currently run a pet essentials business, so animals and their care are already a big part of my day to day life. I’m comfortable structuring my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for and making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, meals, playtime, and companionship according to their normal routine. I’m also very communicative and easy to reach, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you feel informed and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I currently offer overnight pet sitting in the client’s home. I understand that staying in their familiar environment can be much less stressful for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and surroundings. I follow the instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive regular interaction and companionship throughout the day. I’m also respectful of your home and your routines while I’m there. My goal is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away.

This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cleo was great to work with. She was super responsive and attentive to my cat. My Goldie typically doesn’t like people. She hides. I love that she provides pictures. Goldie didn’t hide and watched Cleo. That’s really a good start. This service was easy to use and I will definitely use Cleo again.

When she arrived at my house, one of the smoke detectors was going off and she made sure the house was safe before leaving my pets at home alone. She was calm and professional in dealing with me and that unexpected situation. She takes wonderful pictures and truly seems to care about my pets. I recommend her highly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Downey on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 9,684 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Downey. 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 Downey. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
