“Nicke has been great taking care of our three kitties and our home. He has been incredibly reliable and responsible, left the home clean and tidy, and the three cats loved him and felt comfortable with him right away. Cannot recommend Nick enough and will definitely work with him again soon!”
“Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kelly! She was so reliable, friendly, kind, attentive, caring and sweet with my dog Benny. She went above and beyond to help me when I was in need. I am forever grateful to find Kelly and will recommend her to anyone!! I was so nervous about finding the right sitter for my high maintenance doggy but Kelly knew exactly what to do. Always sending me photos and videos while she’s caring for him. Checking in and out with me when she comes and goes. Always on time or early. 10000/10!!!”
“Erika is INCREDIBLE! I would recommend her 1000 times over. My cat is a bit shy and takes a bit to warm up. She sat with him and made sure he was comfortable. She played with him and took care of everything he needed and sent so many wonderful updates.”
“10/10 pet sitter. Tara is always on time, friendly, and very engaging with our cats. She sends lots of updates and truly cares for the animals under her care. Highly recommend her services.”
“This is my second time booking Leo! He showed up exactly when scheduled and remembered details from the first booking that I had forgotten to re-share. Thank you so much for taking care of my two little ones!”
“Jackie is the first and only dog sitter I’ve ever left my young puppy with, and she is honestly so amazing and has exceeded all my expectations of what a dog sitter would be like. She will form a bond with your pet. My puppy gets excited when he sees her now, and she goes above and beyond to care for him. Jackie will go the extra mile for you and your pet. It’s an enormous relief knowing I have a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter for my puppy. Also, bonus Jackie takes the best pictures!! :))”
“Jonathan was excellent with Scotch and Soda. He was consistently punctual, attentive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with them, which gave us a great deal of confidence while we were away. Communication was prompt, and it was obvious that he genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. We came home to two happy dogs, and I would absolutely book Jonathan again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring.”
“Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!”
“Monica was amazing . The dogs loved her. She is very reliable and I love that she sent me pictures and videos and full reports about what they did,eat and more. Definitely will use her again!!!”
“Jessica was wonderful! Very professional, obviously loves pets, and took great care of my dog Jake! She was very communicative and sent several pictures. I will definitely use her again!”
“Paola was great, responsive and dependable. Besides taking care of my 3 kitties and sending great reports she took care of the house and cleaned the cat’s messes, and made sure my roomba was working. So grateful that i found her! Will book again”
“Jennifer was AWESOME!!! She took good care of my little guy, sent pictures with each visit (which I really appreciated ?) which provided me with a sense of peace while I was away. Thank you so so much for all your help!”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My experience includes caring for animals in a hands-on farm environment, along with providing attentive, responsible care for pets with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs rather than treating every pet the same. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, medications when applicable, and any changes in behavior. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply needs some extra companionship while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel secure, loved, and at home. I currently work part-time in the mornings for about four hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m able to accommodate pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other care needs around my schedule. I’m flexible and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and the owner’s preferred schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their instructions and routines closely, including feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after their pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, giving affection and companionship when they’re receptive while also respecting their boundaries. I currently care for the cats around my residence by providing food and fresh water, giving them affection when they’re comfortable with it, and cleaning up after them. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. My friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and tend to their beloved dogs in their homes. I pay close attention to each pet’s routines, energy levels, and unique personality. I truly understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I always approach them with patience, warmth, and a deep sense of responsibility. I currently work remotely and study part-time with a flexible schedule, which lets me dedicate meaningful time to pet care. I genuinely enjoy building routines with pets so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I'm available for daily walks, check-ins, and house sitting, including longer stays, to ensure your pet’s comfort and happiness. I genuinely care for pets in the comfort of their own homes, always respecting their routines and familiar surroundings. I am deeply mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and diligently follow all instructions from pet parents. I ensure doors are secured, adhere carefully to feeding and medication schedules, and strive to provide calm, attentive, and responsible care because their well-being is my top priority.
“Andria was amazing during her stay with Roxy. She sent me the best pictures and cleaned up the litter area before I got back from my trip. I would definitely book with her again for future visits!”
“Thank you Leslia for taking care of our puppy!! She was so sweet throughout the check in and attentive to his needs. Leslia clearly loves and knows a lot about dogs, and we were so lucky to have her. Thanks again!”

Leo has been very responsible when taking care of my two cats, who are also really shy. I could even tell from the photos that he was able to gain their trust in a short amount of time, which is quite difficult to do. I would definitely book him again without hesitation and highly recommend him
Paola was amazing! I needed last minute care for my pets and she was outstanding. My senior cat who needs daily medication was in great hands, and Paola was kind, attentive, communicative, and went above and beyond with keeping the cat areas clean and tidy. Thank you for your help Paola! I will be rebooking in the future.

Nicke has been great taking care of our three kitties and our home. He has been incredibly reliable and responsible, left the home clean and tidy, and the three cats loved him and felt comfortable with him right away. Cannot recommend Nick enough and will definitely work with him again soon!
Michelle is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and my fur babies could not have been taken better care of. She's very responsive, took the time to get my one sick baby to eat when he was NOT into it, and she sent me frame worthy pictures daily. Michelle, you're a freaking ROCK STAR 😻
Jennifer was amazing! She was able to help out last minute when my plans fell through. She was professional, prompt, and sent me many photo and video updates of my cat to make me feel at ease. I returned home to a clean apartment and a very happy kitty. I will definitely book with Jennifer again!
Jen was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She took wonderful care of my cats, kept me consistently informed, and sent plenty of photos that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to every detail. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% book with Jen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in El Portal on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of September 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 .

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 El Portal. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
