“We’ve been booking Donny as our cat sitter for the past year whenever we need to travel to Vegas for work. He’s a dedicated cat sitter, our cats love him, even our skittish outdoor cat. Donny even manages to track down our outdoor cat at night to bring him inside, very impressive. He keeps them from stealing food from each other, plays well with them, and our house never smells like dirty litter when we get home! As we are moving to Vegas I’m sure our cats will miss him very much! We hope to book him in the future again if/when we move back to LA!”

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!

Making other dogs happy brings me joy, and I’ll treat your pet like family. I will keep you informed. I have a set schedule at work, so I can easily carve out time during my day to spend with your pet! I love being outside and around animals, so it’s always a joy for me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every animal with gentle care and respect. You can trust that I’ll create a safe, loving environment.

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. I am available early in the morning on Mondays and Thursdays. Anything past 9am on those days I unfortunately can't do. I will always try my best to make something work. 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 don't like interacting with other dogs or people please let me know.

About: I've been a dog lover and dog owner my entire life and currently share my home with my 2-year-old Mini Australian Labradoodle. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and care throughout the day. I love being active and am happy to take dogs on long walks and provide exercise and playtime for dogs who enjoy being active. At the same time, I understand that some dogs are true companion dogs who simply want to be close to their people. I'm happy to provide plenty of physical proximity, affection, cuddles, and companionship and will always pay attention to your dog's individual comfort level and personality. I also have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with different needs. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and anything that may help your dog feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also have two dog-loving children, ages 9 and up, who have grown up around dogs and love giving them extra affection—while I will always be your dog's primary caregiver and responsible for their care. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I would treat your dog with the same love, attentiveness, and care that I give my own. I work from home as a nutritionist and personal trainer, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Because I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout much of the day, I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, and I love having dogs as part of my day. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I believe every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn about their routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. In my home, dogs will be treated as part of the family and closely supervised. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and routines to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of both your home and your pet's routine. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise and companionship as needed, and will always ensure doors and gates are secure and your pet is safe before leaving. We have a fenced in back yard.

About: Over the past 10 years or so I have spent time taking care of many of my neighbors pets while they go on vacation. I have taken care of their puppies and kitties by taking them on walks feeding and playing with them and watching their house overnight while they are away. I have expanded my experience by pet sitting for more than just my neighbors and connecting with people online when they need a pet sitter. I work part time and on my days off I enjoy taking neighbors dogs on walks or pet sitting their kitties while they are away in my free time. I usually pet sit for people in their homes. I follow the instructions given to me whether this is crating their pets at night, separating them if needed while eating, take them on walks and stay over night and comfort their pets if asked so they are not lonely and don’t tear up the house. I get the information as needed from owners for their pets triggers to make sure they are safe on walks and while in the home while family is away. I stay in the home if needed and instructed by the owners. I have my own two dogs and a cat. I am able to safely give pets medication if needed as I’ve learned how to do this with one of my dogs who is on several medications I also know where the emergency animal hospital is nearby if ever needed. I also have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of many different dogs and cats with different triggers, personalities and requirements over the past 10 or so years. I grew up with cats and dogs so I would consider my experience with animals much longer than 10 years but specifically doing it as a job would be about 10 years

About: I grew up with a dog in the house, and have also become a cat mom! I am more than happy to provide your pet with love and care while you are away. No dog too big or too small for me! My schedule is fairly flexible and fluctuates so I am usually available when most people are at work, which hopefully is ideal for you! I love being outdoors and surrounding myself in nature. I would be more than happy to have your pet with me for a walk and picnic in the park.

About: I have two dogs and one cat currently but three cats in the past! I love all animals and feel connected towards them. I have been working specifically dog walking and sitting for about two years on apps like wag. I am a psychology major and want to work with service animals in the future! I am in school finishing up my degree and minor and mostly do online. I want to work with service animals so dog walking and sitting is a perfect way to gain experience and knowledge on all different kinds of animals and breeds. I care immensely and treat all animals like my own. I want people to be able to feel comfortable with me around their animals and inside their home. I know it takes a lot of trust and vulnerability to let someone you don’t personally know inside your home, so I want to make the experience for everyone as easy as possible. I like to give updates and response quickly to pet parents.

About: I’ve taken care of primarily neighbors dogs, as well as one cat. One of the dogs I cared for lived to be almost 21 years old. I work part time, so I am usually able to fit dog and cat sitting into my schedule, and can watch them for up to a month. I have usually watched pets in my own home, though one of my most recent clients has had me watch her dog in her own home. My dog is usually friendly toward other dogs, and my cat is friendly as well.

This is our second time having Sami take care of our precious cat and again, we are blown away with how seamless she makes the process be! She's always prompt, open to adjustments in the care schedule in-between visits, and so kind/respectful to our space. If you have a fur baby that needs care, we'd highly recommend booking with her! You're mind will definitely be at ease knowing they are in great hands.

Elaine was a pleasure to have come and care for my kitties! They all greeted her when she would come over, they did not hide and were not scared. She did an excellent job at communicating and caring for them. She was also very respectful of my space and I appreciate her removing her shoes when in my home. They were well fed, watered and had clean litter boxes while I was away. She took the time to play with them and give them attention as I’m sure they missed me. Thank you for the all pets and love you showed my kitties. I appreciate all your hard work! Will definitely book her again. Thank you Elaine! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈💕💕

Ruby was absolutely amazing!! 🥹💕 My kitties adored her! Even when our Litter-Robot unexpectedly went offline in the middle of the night because of a WiFi connection issue, I reached out to her, and she was so accommodating! She came earlier than scheduled at the last minute to check on it and spend extra time with my babies. Talk about going above and beyond! 🐾❤️ My cautious little princess, Suki Bear, even came out to hang out with Ruby and her brother AND let Ruby pet her! That says a lot because Suki doesn’t warm up to just anyone! 🥹 Tommy Boy was his usual energetic, playful self and absolutely loved all the attention and playtime! I had such peace of mind knowing my babies were in loving hands while we were away. A++++ service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kitties and I can’t thank you enough, Ruby! We’ve officially found our go-to kitty sitter for all our future trips! Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐱

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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lomita

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lomita is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $38 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 November 2026, there are 2,662 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lomita. 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 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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 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.
