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 :) Note: This account is owned by me, Nabil Abdelsayed, but often times when I’m unavailable a family member helps out. I will always make sure to specify who will be taking care of your pet and a meeting could always be arranged beforehand. 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!

About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I could remember. As an adult, I have had my own dogs for the last five years - Star and Popsicle are my world! I am comfortable walking two dogs at a time, administering medicines, and if there is anything else your pet may need, I have probably handled it myself before. I have cared for other people's pets on and off for years as well and have handled many situations with ease. I currently have a very flexible, open schedule that can accommodate any specific walk times or potty breaks. I can assist any time of day, any day of the week. Hello! Trusting me with your beloved pet means that they will be taken care of with all the love and attention that I give my own two dogs. I am patient, attentive, and kind in my care, and I genuinely love being around any pets! From feeding to enriching walks, I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.

I have experience taking care of multiple dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and dogs with timely medications. I had my first dog at 9 years old for 15 amazing years. My second dog, I’ve had since she was a puppy and has crossed the rainbow at 16 years old. She was also on specific timed medication for the last 3 years. I also take care of my brothers 2 dogs.

All preferences can be catered to your pet such as if you want your dogs away from other pets or if you would like them outdoors more that inside, etc.

About: I have a great amount of experience caring for my own pets, family & friends pets, clients pets, and even cats in an adoption center. My family and friends always come to me for any pet related advice or care they may possibly need. I am very particular in the way in which my own pets are cared for so I will make sure to follow any instructions given to me in order to meet your beloved pets needs. I have lots of experience in bathing, feeding, pottying, training, walking, giving medication, and anything else you can possibly need for your pet. I’ve interacted with various dog breeds and ages. I do work full time but I am fully available Tuesdays and Sundays. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays I am available in the evenings once it’s 5pm. If you let me know a week or even 2 weeks in advance for the days I am limited, I can always try my best to make something work. I unfortunately can’t care for any pets in my home as we already have our own full house. I will gladly care for your pet in your home. Safety is my number one priority as it is in my own home. If your pet free roams I will try my best to make sure they can’t get into any trouble when not supervised. I like to make sure that all gear is fitted and in working condition before any outings. I also will not put them in any situations in which they may feel uncomfortable so if your pets doesn’t like interacting with other dogs or people please let me know.

About: I have had the pleasure of helping friends and family with their pets since I was a young girl. I've always loved furry friends, children too, & I recently had a fur baby of my own who taught me how to groom her and love her as my very own first puppy. I loved baking her little home-made treats, and making her dinners from scratch! Unfortunately, I had to return her to her original family as my living situation and job security has been undergoing major reconstruction the last couple years. I work in music and am now a mama to a baby boy! SAHM since I am EBF, so all support helps my family. I am currently looking for a full-time job as a nanny, so until then, my schedule is totally open! I love taking pets to play outside with me any day of the week! I love cuddles and making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. I will be glad to update you with pictures, as needed, and I am a great communicator who will be sure to ask you questions regarding your little (or big!) one if any arise, so we can assure they are happy and healthy while they are under my care.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on professional experience in canine care. Growing up with both a high-energy German Shepherd and a friendly Cockapoo mix gave me an early, deep appreciation for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to my personal experience, I spent a year working at Wags and Wiggles, a professional doggy daycare. During my time there, I managed group play, monitored dog body language, handled feedings, and ensured a safe, fun environment for dozens of dogs daily. Whether your pup needs active playtime, attentive supervision, or just a quiet walk, you can trust them to be in safe, experienced hands! Availability Schedule: Monday & Wednesday: 6:00 AM – 12:00 PM & after 4:00 PM Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: After 5:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: Open Availability (All Day) Having spent a year working professionally at Wags and Wiggles doggy daycare and growing up around cats and dogs of all sizes—from a German Shepherd to a Cockapoo—I prioritize safety, security, and clear communication in every client's home. I strictly follow home-entry procedures, keep doors and gates secure, and practice safe, defensive walking practices. I adhere precisely to your feeding, medication, and care routines to keep your pet's environment clean, calm, and familiar, while providing regular photo updates for complete peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is the lifelong love and experience I have with animals. Growing up, I was lucky enough to have two dogs and two cats, which taught me from a young age how much patience, attention, and genuine care animals deserve. I also have a dog at home who I absolutely adore and love spending time with, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or simply keeping them company. I understand that pets are family, and I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their person is away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I genuinely enjoy building a bond with them. I would treat your pets with the same kindness and care I would want for my own. My schedule is very flexible because I’m currently focused primarily on school. This allows me to be available for pet care and give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and dog walks, giving your pets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away whether that be vacation or work!

About: My previous experience was primarily in vet medicine by being a vet technician. I've cared for puppies and kittens all the way to their golden senior years. I've been by their side through happy events to some anxious times, and provided calm through it all. I can provide a safe and calming environment for pets. I also have personal experience with having a dog and cat of my own. Most of my availability is Friday-Monday. I can pet sit overnight, or make a check-in during the day. Please let me know at least two days in advance with information on your loved fur-baby, so I can be prepared and make accommodations for them. I will care for your pets as I do mine. Sometimes they come up for pets and cuddles, other times they require space. I will acknowledge their needs and try to understand their body language to bridge the language barrier. Also, if they need play time, require more attention, or have anxiety, I can accomodate.

After receiving my Rover Card I was very content and excited to see that she did an amazing job of meeting my pets needs. I highly recommend booking with Roselyn if you're in need of a sitter for your fur babies. It was my first ever booking with Rover and I'm glad I chose Roselyn :).

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Harbor City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Harbor City is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,247 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harbor City. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
