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.
“This is our second time using Julio, and he has been a great find. The first time we used Julio he had to administer medicine to our cat that was not doing well. He also had to care for our second cat who was fine and tended to our dog. Julio handled it all like a champ. He is very personable and great at what he does. Thank you Julio! We will be using your services again my friend!”
“Omolara took great care of my senior dog during the week I was away. She provided exercise, feeding, and clean-up of the space, when my dog couldn’t quite hold it. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Athanasia is an amazing find! I am a first time Rover user and was very nervous. Athanasia put both me and my dog Presley at ease at the meet and greet. We booked her and she dropped in on Presley three days on a row -- doing a great job! She is an excellent communicator and coaxed great smiles from him in home and outside on their walks. Athanasia clearly loves dogs and cares for her Rover pets well. I highly recommend Athanasia and will use her again and again!!”

I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, building trust with patience and affection. I do everything I can to make them feel secure and cared for, just like they would with their family.

“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: 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!

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 have taken care of my families pets since I was a child, from dogs and cats to birds and spiders, I make sure they’re fed and well taken care of.

About: With a decade of experience caring for dogs and a goal of becoming a vet, I bring both heart and knowledge to every pup I meet. Hi, I’m Brianna! I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 12 and am currently pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My deep love for animals drives everything I do, and I’m passionate about providing quality, loving care for every pet I meet. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just being their companion while their families are away. I’m fun, responsible, and compassionate, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet, so I’m always happy to answer any questions and make sure you feel comfortable. You can count on me to give 100% to every visit, every time. I’m a full-time college student wrapping up my final year of undergraduate school, but don’t worry—I’ve designed my schedule to make plenty of time for pet care! I only attend in-person classes two days a week and reserve Wednesdays for studying, which means I’m fully available Friday through Monday and partially available the other days to give your pup the attention they deserve. Your dog will be in a safe, secure environment with a fenced backyard, constant supervision, and lots of love. I also have home security cameras for added peace of mind. Plus, your pup will have the company of my two sweet, friendly huskies Sky and Echo who are both spayed and great at helping new dogs feel comfortable and settled in.

I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.
“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.”
“This is the 3rd or 4th time having Angela do drop in visits with my 2 dogs. She is freakin great. My dogs love her. Finally got to meet her prior to this visit and she is very nice, responsive and reliable. Hire her!”

Karla was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond while caring for my cat. My cat absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was very responsive, paid close attention to detail, and kept me updated throughout my vacation, which really helped ease my worries. I truly appreciated the level of care and compassion she showed. I’m looking forward to rebooking with her in the future!
This was my 2nd time booking Hailee & she went above and beyond! 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!

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 July 2026, there are 9,586 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.

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.
