“Sofia is such an amazing sitter. She took the job super last minute, she was extremely kind and understanding of my situation. She was able to get in and out of my old building which added extra responsibility to her as she has to make sure to not misplace keys! She changed my cat’s wet food, she checked on the litter and water and played with my cat. She sent extremely thorough and detailed summaries and sent adorable photos. She even cleaned up my cats furball vomit. I’m so grateful for the love and care she gave to my cat while I was away. Sofia is amazing!!! I recommend her 1000 percent.”

“This is my first time using Rover and I’m glad to have chose Wanyao as care taker for my kitten while i was gone for two weeks. She is very professional and experienced, also detail oriented as she notices when the litter box is full and when the feeder is empty. I would definitely reach out to her again in the future.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for years, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and getting to know their individual personalities. I have 10 years of personal experience caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and companionship. From 2020–2023, I also regularly cared for my aunt’s service dog whenever she traveled out of town. That experience taught me how important it is to follow an owner’s instructions carefully and respect an animal’s established routine, especially when caring for a working dog. I also have experience with cats! I owned a cat for a year and spent about 10 months helping care for my roommate’s cat, so I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats attention while also respecting when they want their own space. I know leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their person is away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and I’m comfortable planning my day around their needs. As a college student, I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m also available on weekends and can coordinate care around each pet’s established schedule. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so if your dog expects breakfast at 7 AM or your cat has decided dinner being five minutes late is a personal betrayal, I’ll do my best to keep their normal routine consistent! 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home, belongings, and pets with the same respect and care I would want someone to show mine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable and clearly instructed, playtime, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure and pay close attention during walks and whenever entering or leaving the home. I never introduce new foods, treats, animals, or activities without the owner’s permission. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can relax knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. 🐕🐈💕

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive experience and passion for pets. Having grown up with pets my whole life, I have a deep understanding of their needs and unique personalities. Moreover, my experience volunteering at a doggy daycare has given me a professional edge, allowing me to handle pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments with ease. My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do, making my services truly exceptional. My clients can rest assured that their furry family members will be in capable and caring hands when they choose me as their pet sitter. Pet sitting will fit perfectly into my daily life as I have a dog myself who walks twice a day. I currently do not work from home, but I work 6 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the late evening. I’m usually home in the afternoon to spend quality time with all of my furry friends. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety and wellbeing of the pets in my care. I have a secure and pet-friendly home environment, free of any hazards. I will supervise pets during playtime and ensure they are properly fed and hydrated. I have a clear understanding of pet behavior and will provide appropriate exercise and enrichment activities to keep them happy and healthy. I will also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners, such as administering medication or special diets.

About: I have a deep love for all animals of all shapes and sizes. Fur, feathers, scales; I love them all! I always put the pet first. Pet care is part of my daily routine! A pet needs daily attention and care. Although some pets don’t need 24/7 care, a little extra connection always goes a long way. I have a running supply of pet care items for all the ‘just-in-case’ times we all run into as pet owners. I prefer visiting the pet at the clients home as to not remove the pet from their most comfortable environment.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.

About: Hello! I'm Jiade, a true animal lover with a special passion for feline care. At the heart of my experience are my two beloved cats: a 17-year-old rescued American Longhair and a British Shorthair. Caring for my senior cat has given me deep, hands-on experience with the attentive care they require, including administering medication. I am skilled in feeding, grooming, and providing playful engagement, and my top priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in your absence. My fully remote work allows me to provide your pet with constant companionship and a highly flexible schedule tailored to your needs. I can easily accommodate your schedule—including last-minute requests—to ensure your pet's routine stays consistent. Your pet's well-being is my utmost priority. I meticulously follow your care instructions to ensure a seamless routine, while also providing affectionate engagement to make them feel truly safe and content in your absence.

About: I love playing and going on walks with dogs and even just sitting with them and giving them the attention and company they need. I am a lover of all dogs, and I am really excited to get to know more! I am ready to truly get to know your pet in order to provide the best experience for them, and make sure that they feel comfortable, happy, and safe. I work, but I’m more than willing to work something out to fit your schedule. I want to do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs and ensure you have a most pleasant experience. If you have any questions feel free to message me any time. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon!! I work weekdays from 10:30-6:30 in office, I have a little bit of flex with that if anything comes up. I am willing to discuss what schedule works best for you! When I’m over at the owners home I always make sure to meet with you or just talk to you in depth about where everything is kept, what routine your dog has, etc. I want to make sure they are as comfortable as possible and I maintain your lovely home! Safety is also incredibly important to me, so I always do a walk around before I leave making sure everything is locked and secure!

About: Hi! I’m Bella and I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I grew up with a pet loving father and have taken care of basically every animal. I raised our 4 family dogs in Norcal, 4 Presa Canarios, from puppies to now adults. I’ve raised and trained many dogs from Boston Terriers and Chihuahuas to Pitbulls and Dobermans. I have no pets in my Socal home but often go back to Norcal and care for the Presas! I love all dogs - any age, any size! Love cats too!! I currently work remote and often have time during the day and after 5 PM to take care of your animals! As long as your animal doesn’t mind listening to my coworkers on a few calls throughout the day! I have a fenced front yard with space for your dog to run around and can easily take your dog outside for a walk for potty breaks!

About: Hi there, my husband and I are both all-around pet lovers. Between the both of us, one is usually home. We have 3 friendly (sometimes scardy) cats (Sadie, Canelo, & Ryder). They are all friendly and/or do their own thing. :) I love playing w/them & taking them out for a walk in their stroller. Looking forward to meeting and playing with your lovely pets :-) we will care for them as if they are our own! Hola!

Y he tenido buenas experiencias. tengo más de 20 años de experiencia con mis propios mascotas; Cudi Ryder, Canelo, y Sadie (gatos). Son amables y les encantan jugar y explorar. Pets will have the freedom to get comfortable to their space play and run around. I will follow whatever food regimen and schedule that you have for them and ensure that their safety and comfort is priority. I make sure that my pets are taken care of despite what my work schedule looks like. I will care for pets in your home, or my home as if they were my own. I’ve never cared for a pet with special needs like medication, but I’m willing to learn. I’ll make sure that they’re comfort and safety is priority along with having fun.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and play with their beloved pets. Today, I am a proud owner of an adult Spitz, so I know firsthand exactly how much attention, training, and love companions need. Whether it’s keeping up with active exercise, following strict feeding schedules, or just giving plenty of belly rubs, I treat every dog as if they were my own. ​Beyond dogs, I also have extensive experience raising and caring for smaller pets, including rabbits and rats. This has taught me to be incredibly detail-oriented, observant, and respectful of every animal's unique routine and personality. ​I pride myself on being highly responsible, punctual, and communicative. I’m always happy to send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! ​I work as an independent consultant with a highly flexible schedule, which means pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicatedly watch, walk, and play with your pups. My flexible hours allow me to easily adapt to your pet's specific routine, potty breaks, and feeding times without any rush. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for pets, I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding boundaries, feeding, and leash rules. I currently own a friendly adult Spitz, so I am well-versed in maintaining a safe, calm, and supervised environment for dogs to socialize or rest. I always make sure the space is completely pet-friendly, secure, and clear of any hazards.

This is our second time booking with Malia and we’re so happy we found her! Lou absolutely loves her and knowing she’s in good hands makes being away so much easier. When we ran out of cat food, Malia made sure Lou wouldn’t go hungry and when our flight was delayed, she was happy to arrange an extra visit. She’s caring, reliable and goes the extra mile. We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! Thank you! 🐾

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Los Angeles on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 9,416 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Los Angeles. 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.

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 .

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.

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.
