“Im grateful to have had Donny take care of our cats while we were away! He’s truly a cat whisperer—taking the time to get to know each cat individually and remembering all their unique quirks and preferences. It’s clear he genuinely cares for them, and our cats were comfortable in his hands. Donny would always send us regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter!”

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!
“Perla is the best. It’s hard to leave my fur babies when I travel but knowing I have someone that takes such good care of them, makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.”
“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!”

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.
“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!”
“Ji Hae was wonderful with our dogs. She came to meet them before we left town. She fed both and medicated our Australian Shepherd/Husky mix. Ji Hae walked both dogs and made sure they had plenty of water. She kept us updated with photos and left the house neat. I’m confident in recommending Ji Hae’s services.”

“Maddy has been very professional, prompt and respectful. My animals adore her and she spends the time to cuddle with my older dog during her drop ins. Highly recommend her services!”
“Nicole is simply awesome. My wife and I go away for weekends pretty regularly and normally we rely on family and friends to care for our cats and chickens. This past weekend none of them were available, so I looked into Rover and found Nicole. After reading her profile and getting a sense of her being a great person with an innate love for animals, we hired her. Could not be happier with our decision. She took care of the critters with exceptional love and responsibility and she will be our go-to care taker from this point forward. Family and friends: you're off the hook. We've found Nicole!”
“Zulaiha was excellent! My cats love her, and she took really great care of them. I was actually stressed because this was the first time I was away from them, but she made sure they were all good and they had everything they needed. I'll definitely want her to take care of my cats if I'm ever away on a trip again because I know they'll be in great in hands.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little, like walking, feeding and bathing them. I have taken care of family and friends pets. I currently have time over the summer as I work at a middle school and have the summer off. I am very flexible to take care of your fur baby. My dog has a fenced in yard and is crate trained. I will follow the rules and routine for which your fur baby has to keep them safe
“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 🐾”
“Casey is great! She is a quick responder. She set up a meet and greet within 48 hours of us requesting services. She’s very communicative and asks all of the right questions. She showed up on time for our hour drop in. Our dogs love her. We would definitely hire her again.”
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Harbor City is $25

Vanessa was incredibly thorough and had excellent communication throughout her visit. She documented everything she did with detailed notes and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. She carefully followed all of Chessie’s care instructions and made sure everything was taken care of before she left. She also got along great with Chessie! I felt completely comfortable trusting her because of how attentive she was. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
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!! 🐾❤️
Ji Hae was wonderful with our dogs. She came to meet them before we left town. She fed both and medicated our Australian Shepherd/Husky mix. Ji Hae walked both dogs and made sure they had plenty of water. She kept us updated with photos and left the house neat. I’m confident in recommending Ji Hae’s services.
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.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Jennifer sit on our cats over the holiday period. She was incredibly flexible when there was a need to drop in one day earlier, and she went the extra mile many times for our cats. She took care of the house as well and followed all our instructions to the tee. She also sent us very detailed and regular updates and was always available to answer questions and flexible enough for what we needed. We would absolutely hire her back for our future trips, thank you so much!
We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Harbor City on Rover is $22.2 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 20,269 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Harbor City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Harbor City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
