“Just needed someone who could drop by to let out my pup while I’d be gone all day and Cassandra is a gem! Great communication and even though she was only with my dog for a quick potty break she provided many photos of their adventure.”
“Elaine is fantastic! She has sit our cat Pickles in four different occasions so far and we are very happy with the service. She is proactive and very responsive. Pickles is older and her food has to be portioned. Elaine figured out the portions quickly and our cat has never had a problem with it. Elaine is in tune with animals 100% 🤩”
“Zulaiha was generous, flexible, and thorough throughout our experience! We got to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. I’m so grateful for their efforts and would book again!”
About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a baby and have loved them my whole life. I’ve fostered dogs and cats and helped family and friends in need of pet sitting. I love doing it. I’m currently attending UCI and have an open schedule during the summer. I’d love to help during the holidays as well. Whenever I am available I would love to take care of animals. If it fits in my schedule I can help. I will make sure to give the best care and keep in contact/be communicative with all owners. I also have lots of knowledge of what’s healthy and not healthy for dogs and cats.
“Sora was amazing with drop in visits for our two kitties while we were away! She was very communicative, always on time, shared updates and is incredibly kind. We would absolutely reccomend her and book her services again!”
“It was such peace of mind to know that our kitties were in the capable hands of Donny. It is always great to have a Rover sitter that you trust who takes great care of the family's furry monsters while away. Will definitely be a repeat booker!”
“Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.”
“Perla was absolutely wonderful with my Olive. She dedicated so much love and time with my little old lady, I felt completely at ease vs my usual anxiousness. She has found her calling, the love she provided and her communication skills give one peace of mind! Thank you Perla.”
About: I'll take care of your pet. As far as experience goes, I've taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rabbit to cat or dog. I have lots of experience walking dogs for volunteer work. And I volunteer with a local Pet Adoption Agency by feeding, clean litter, playing, walking, and administering medication. I love all animals from small to large. Whether you have an active pup to a senior cat, I will provide a safe, comforting and happy experience. Pet care fits into my life because I have pets and have volunteered to take care of pets. I will take care of your pets as well as you do. I have owned pets since a very young age and can take care of almost any pet. You have your pet in good hands. I can walk, feed, play with your pet so they are never lonely and have a good playmate.
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was hands down the BEST experience I could have asked for, especially with Chris caring for my dog & cat! 🐾 Chris has incredible communication skills and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind :) He is also extremely punctual and reliable, especially when it comes to feeding and walking schedules, which meant everything to me & more. The level of love and care he showed my animals was truly top notch. He followed every instruction perfectly and still found ways to go above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to relax and disconnect from “pet mom mode” because I knew my animals were being cared for exactly how I would care for them, if not even better. I also loved the pictures Chris sent, you could genuinely see how much fun my pets were having with him, and somehow he even got my cat to come out and play, which says everything. If you’re thinking about booking with Chris, do it!!! You’ll thank me later & your pets will gain a new best friend 🐾”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Pearl to take care of my cat Maia while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. Her professionalism and genuine care for my fur baby were evident throughout her entire stay. One of the standout aspects of Pearl’s service was her proactive communication. During my first booking, she sent me daily updates and photos of my cat, which was incredibly reassuring. It was wonderful to see my shy cat starting to warm up to her, a testament to Pearl’s gentle and patient approach. During this most recent booking, Pearl helped coordinate with my house sitter to make sure Maia was fed and well loved when I was away. Normally, Maia is very reserved around new people, but she seemed comfortable and even happy in the photos I received. Moreover, Pearl was very respectful of my home. She left everything in perfect condition, just as I had left it. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners are satisfied. I highly recommend Pearl to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in her work, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Pearl, for taking such wonderful care of Miss Maia!”
About: Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am an animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs. I have been walking dogs professionally for about 3 years. I'm offering all services available through Rover (walking, stop-ins, overnight sitting, etc.) to help you and your fur babies! Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I hope to be seeing you and your pup as soon as possible. :) My work is flexible and remote, so I am available at any time. I can provide all Rover services weekends and weekdays, day and night. I have a fenced patio for fresh air, and an unfenced yard in front of my apartment for relief and play. My senior dog, Bronson, loves to make friends and welcomes company.
“She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!”
About: I would be a great dog sitter for you not only because I LOVE all animals but also because I grew up owning two dogs, a Lab and a little Bichon, not to mention a cat and a snake. I currently have a dog and two cats I take care of daily. In high school I always took care of the neighbor's animals and houses while they were out of town. My friends now always call me if they need a sitter or just to give their dogs a walk while they're at work. My schedule is super flexible because I work from home. My love for animals and the fact that I am responsible and trustworthy makes me a perfect fit for you! I would love to meet your furbabies and do whatever I can to help! I work from home so I can be with your animals as much as needed! I have a room mate who will take care of my 3 animals here, which gives me the ability to give all the attention to yours! I can’t take pets into my home, but I can stay at yours full time, part time, or whatever is required! I love all animals and will treat them like my own babies.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats almost my entire life and I know how to take care of them well and make them feel happy and safe! I live in an apartment with my family, we all love pets and equally experienced with taking care of them :) I’m free all day and I’d be more than happy to take your pet in! If there happens to be any reason that I am not free I will update my schedule. I will make sure your pet feels safe and happy here, and provide them anything that they need. I live with 3 cats and 1 dog, they all get along and I’d be more than happy to look after your pet as well!

Shannon went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! I appreciated her for jumping in for our sort of last minute request and doing such a great job. She communicates well, asks great questions — and her updates and pictures gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. She also got the cats to warm up to her so quickly so huge plus. Highly recommend
Absolutely the best cat sitter who has watched our cat numerous times! From the very first day, Ivy was professional, incredibly organized, caring and communicative. We received wonderful daily updates and pictures that showed our cat was completely relaxed and happy. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was left completely clean and tidy, and our fur baby was perfectly cared for. We will absolutely be booking Ivy again and highly recommend her services to any pet parent!
Britney was wonderful! I needed someone at the last minute and she was able to pull through. I got updates and photos of my fur babies which is truly so important to me. She came highly recommended and o have no doubt as to why. Will definitely continue to book going forward.
She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!
Ginny was so kind and sweet with my cat! My cat gets lonely when I’m away so I mainly needed someone to come play with her for a while everyday. When I got back, my cat was noticeably less lonely and Ginny was great about sending photos and letting me know how my cat was doing everyday! Highly recommend!!
This is our second time booking with Donny, and I just wanted to say how lucky we feel to have found someone so kind, reliable, and trustworthy to take such wonderful care of our kitties. Knowing Donny is looking after them gives me so much peace of mind whenever we’re away. He’s communicative, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals he watched. Our cats are always happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we return. We truly appreciate the care and dedication he puts into every visit, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!! 🐾❤️
Amy was an excellent sitter. My cats warmed up to her quickly and were comforted by her presence. I appreciated the many entertaining pictures in the Rover cards during each check-in. She followed all instructions (feeding schedules, litter checks, and cleaning). She understood the cats' needs beyond just food and litter box emptying and even cleaned extra at the end of the scheduled sitting. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and the care she showed for both my cats and my home. If she's still available the next time I need a cat sitter, I will likely call upon her services again.
Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harbor City on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,965 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harbor City. 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 Harbor City. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
