About: As a proud dog mom, I understand that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of routine, exercise, and lots of love. From daily walks and playtime to recognizing subtle changes in behavior, I’m attentive to every detail that keeps a pup happy and healthy. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pet as if they were my own — with safety, affection, and reliable care at the forefront. I’m currently in the military so my schedule is very unpredictable. There are times when I have significant time off allowing much flexibility or there are times when my availability will become much limited.That said, I’m big on communication and keeping my calendar updated. I only take bookings when I know I can fully show up and give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. If I commit to you, you can count on me! When I’m caring for a pet in their home, safety is always my top priority! I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure before and after walks, and I’m careful to prevent any escape risks. I follow all instructions exactly as given — feeding routines, medication schedules, crate use, and house rules — to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I’m mindful of potential hazards like foods left out, small objects on the floor, or anything that could be chewed or swallowed. During walks, I use secure leashing practices and stay alert to surroundings, other animals, and traffic. I also provide regular updates so you feel confident and informed while you’re away. Your home will be respected, and your pet will be cared for like family. ((:
“Elizabeth was great with PoPanda. She took excellent care of my bunny and was very patient with her. This was my longest trip away from my pet so I was very worried but Elizabeth made the entire experience pleasant. I knew PoPanda was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend and would hire Elizabeth again.”


About: As a loving dog owner for the past six years, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently have two Shiba Inus, a breed known for being intelligent, independent, and sometimes a little stubborn, so I’m experienced with providing patient, consistent care. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Thank you for trusting me with your furry babies! Im available mostly during the day but can do check ins in the evening when needed! I can also provide check ins on the weekend. I do not care for pets in my home but I would be happy to take care of your pets in your own home where they feel most comfortable and safe!

“Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I’m available to care for pets Monday through Sunday with enough advance notice to plan around my schedule and personal responsibilities. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s care fits comfortably into both your schedule and mine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules.

“Very kind, obviously loves animals. She took care of our sweetie very well and communicated daily with how she was doing and pictures. Would definitely use Marissa again. Thank you so much 😊”

About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.
“Sarah was the first overnight cat sitter I've booked and she was perfect! I was suuuper anxious to leave my sweet 2 year old IBD kitty alone for a week but my first meet and greet with Sarah calmed all my worries. Sarah house sat for 7 days and 6 nights and was kind enough to start early morning and stay late when I returned from the airport. She vacuumed before my arrival which was great. My kitty is normally very shy but he took to her quickly. I was worried about him not eating but he was comfortable enough to eat most of his food and by the 2nd day let her pet him and got closer and more comfortable the following days. He threw up at one point and Sarah kept me informed with pictures and cleaned it up thoroughly right away. I had a lot of instructions with his strict diet and Sarah was very attentive and dedicated to quality care. All of Sarah's daily updates were so nice. Will definitely book again!”

I know every animal has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know their individual quirks.

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 6 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 9 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available.

Audra took such wonderful care of our two senior cats while we were away! She arrived at the agreed times, sent photos and thoughtful updates after each visit, and was always responsive to our messages. She handled their medication routine with care, cleaned up their many messes, and left everything looking great when we returned. Audra was so incredibly sweet with our boys! She spent extra time giving them love and attention and even offered to help with other things she noticed. It was clear how comfortable they became with her when our shyer boy even started requesting belly rubs! We’re so glad we found Audra and will be booking her again soon.

Heather took great care of our 2 cats and pet hen while we were away. Our cats quickly took to her kind and calm demeanor during the meet and greet. She provided a written note with fun pictures for every visit. We looked forward to the updates, which helped alleviate stress of our travel. She handled a couple requests that came up and was very responsive throughout. We arrived back to happy, well cared for pets and a tidy home! We highly recommend Heather, and absolutely will re-book in the future.
Jaime was such a heaven sent! She was so accommodating to my requests (even a last minute request to drop in a day extra) and sent our family so many photos of our animals! She responded super quickly to my texts and gave me such peace of mind. Prior to booking she came and did an initial visit to meet our animals so they would be comfortable with her presence. Our animals, with all their quirks, took to her so quickly and looked full of joy when she was visiting. She even helped with obedience training for our dog so her schedule wasn’t interrupted! Our family will definitely be rebooking Jaime on our next trip so we know our animals are safe, provided for, and loved while we are away. Thank you so so much Ms. Jaime!!

Andrea is the BEST! She makes my cat feel so comfortable and always takes great care of him. She is the only person I book when I leave town and ill use her services every time she is available. Very reliable and kind. Great communication so you always know what's going on while youre away. I recommend her every time!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Imperial Beach is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
