Aileen was so great! We had a nice meet and greet with her so she could meet our dog and learn about him. Her knowledge and experience with animals made us very comfortable with her watching our dog. She did everything we needed for the drop in visit!

About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.

About: I've taken dog grooming classes. I know how to bathe dogs and trim their nails. I've worked at a dog day care before. There, I helped watch dogs of all sizes and ages and bathe them as needed. I'm currently working part-time, so I have some free time throughout the week to pet-sit, walk, and drop in. I currently cannot board due to my apartment not allowing pets at the moment. I follow what I believe is the best protocol when dealing with animals. When I introduce myself, I like to lower myself to the ground to meet them at their level and try to let them approach me when they want. I love to play and pet animals.

About: I have helped my neighbors with their dogs since I was a child , I have always loved animals. I have had stray cats walk up to me meowing hungry and I always try to go out of my way to feed them and to give them some love . I truly believe every animal needs to be loved and it is our job as humans to do this. I am a dog and a cat person I have one of each at home which I love so much. I know how important my animals are to me and I will love your pet as my own whether I am walking them or just dropping in to check on them I am currently a full time student, however I want a job that makes me happy and animals make me happy. I have a wide availability. I talk to my pets just as I would talk to your pet with a gentle kind voice . I am also very cautious when walking dogs as sometimes they can be very eager to get out and walk .

About: Your pet’s new favorite visitor. 🐾🐕 Hi! My name is Laileen. 💕 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and spending time with them has always been one of my favorite things. I’m currently in college working toward my dream of becoming a veterinarian, so getting to care for pets while working toward that goal truly means a lot to me. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your furry family member. Whether you’re away for a few hours or a few days, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. Some pets love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing on the couch or getting belly rubs. Whatever makes your pet happiest, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each pet’s unique personality. There’s nothing better than earning their trust (and maybe becoming their new best friend too!). 🐾 I’ll always treat your pet like family and care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 💕 As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy fitting pet care into my week. -Mondays and Wednesdays: 9am-12pm -Tuesdays And Thursday's : 1:30pm-6pm -Fridays-Sunday: Always available! 😚 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Before every visit, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any house rules you provide. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I also know how reassuring it is to hear how your pet is doing while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and lots of photos so you can relax knowing they’re having a great time. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved while giving you complete peace of mind. ❤️

Citlalli was absolutely amazing! I accidentally booked my two drop-in visits for the wrong day, but she was so flexible, understanding, and generous about it. She took such great care of my dog and sent me the cutest pictures and he looked so happy and comfortable! 🥹 I really appreciated how kind and accommodating she was. I would definitely book with Citlalli again and highly recommend her! ❤️

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life from my own pups to my friends! I have experience with big and small dogs of all different breeds and am happy to help. I work Monday through Friday from 9-5 so I can help in the early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays for drop-ins or walks. If close by, I can also help with last minute needs. I have experience with runners so I’m very careful to ensure your pets won’t get out without their leash and my supervision. They are in safe hands to be cared for and come home safely!

About: I grew up on a family farm. We had all kinds of farm animals and live stock guardian dogs and barn cats that helped and were our most prized animals. I also have experience caring for fish, reptiles, birds, rabbits, hampsters, guinea pigs and rats. While I have a career I love as hairdresser. I’m looking to make some extra money and fulfill a passion I have for animal husbandry/care-taking. Availability: Sunday early morning and mid afternoons into evenings. (6a-10a), (3p-11p). Tuesdays-Thursdays (5p-11p) Saturday nights (8p-12a) or over night is a possibility If I were to stay over night with your animal family members; it would essential for me to have clear instructions of your expectations and your pets needs. While I have a wide variety of animal care experience; every animal has its own personality and needs. It is important to me that your pets are just as comfortable with me as they are with you. I am happy to meet the needs of any animal.

About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!

About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.

Melisa was, in a word, AMAZING. We scheduled drop-in visits with her to keep an eye on our cat Clementine and Melisa wrote detailed updates for us and sent us a ton of photos, which we loved. We had a pee-incident on the couch that Melisa took in stride (thank you so much, again) and she really went above and beyond, helping put enzymatic cleaner on our couch so that the cat urine didn't just sit for two weeks, popping our mail inside and also keeping an eye on my plants. Stellar sitter and is 100% our go-to person from now on. Thanks again, Melisa!

About: I have experience with training dogs and handling their medications. I have taken care of other clients pets over long periods of time. And I am patient when it comes to handling pets of all sorts. I currently am full-time student with no job. With this I intend to have more control over my schedule and have more flexibility when it comes to pet care and being able to still fit in school time. I like to respect people's and their pet's boundaries so being handed a list of rules or guidelines is the best way for me to do that.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gardena on Rover is $26.64 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 9,363 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gardena. 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 Gardena. 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.
