“Rachel was very easy to communicate with and great with our kitty! Leaving a pet in the hands of stranger while on vacation can be scary but Rachel helped alleviate our worries with her clear and apparent love for animals! Would definitely recommend 10/10.”
About: I have a sensitivity to connect with cats in a deeper way. My calm and peace always make them feel at home❤️ We can hop on a call if you want to talk and get to know me first. My schedule is super flexible right now. I can house sit and spend the night as well if you need. I can also always adjust to your needs I’ll follow whatever rules you have for your specific pet and space. Just let me know ahead of time. I’ll gladly acomodate. I have no problem at all with any specific needs.
“Lainee was wonderful with my cats for three weeks while I was away. She is so caring and gentle with my boys and didn’t hesitate to help out with any issues that came up. They were so happy and well taken care of upon my return. Definitely will ask Lainee to look after my boys in future. I am so grateful!”
“Roxane was awesome! Very communicative and followed complex feeding/care instructions super well. Grateful to have someone so kind to look after Scout while I’m gone. Definitely will be booking with Roxane again :)”
About: I've taken care of friend's animals whenever they were gone for multiple days to weeks at a time and love all animals that are caring and loving. I already take care of friend's animals when they are gone and have been consistent. I'm asked to do it when she's traveling and working for weeks in a month as well as evenings on days she's working I feed them what I'm told to feed them, fill their water bowls up and make sure they use the bathroom so they feel content with being at home
About: Hi! We are Ryan& Lilly, and caring for animals isn’t just something we do—it’s something we genuinely love. We know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone new. That’s why we make it our priority to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and we take the time to get to know them so they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, or overnight care, you can count on us to provide reliable, compassionate service. We’ll make sure your pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. Communication is very important to us, so we’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. Our goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. We treat every pet as if they were my own, and we would be honored to care for yours. We can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! P.S. Besides English we speak Russian and Spanish We work from home so we would love to give your fur baby a home, take care of them play with them any days of the week! We have a huge territory on the Marina as well as the beach 5 min away and the court yard under our balcony. Lots of nature around here. We have no pets, no kids and a pretty big apartment so your pet will have space
“Aech was wonderful for a drop-in for my boy! She took him out for a potty break then gave him lots of love and attention until leaving. I got prompt updates and photos right after the visit. Would definitely book with Aech again!”
About: I've been a dog walker, dog lover, dog groomer, dog kisser, dog snuggler, dog hugger, dog teacher and dog admirer since the day I was born. Growing up, my family always had a dog around the house. We had Mandy Dog (a German Shorthaired Pointer), Winnie (fluffy-sunshine-mix-a-doodle) and Paris (Australian Shepherd/Pitbull mix) at various stages of my youth. When I was 12, I raised my first puppy (a lil fluffy Golden named Lucy) and I taught her everything from sit to play dead. In high school I was a dog bather for a local dog groomer. From this job I learned about different breed personalities, needs and care. Currently, I work from home and would love to care for your friend. I'm very flexible on timing and availability. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can do same-day visits on the west side. Whatever you and your pet need I will try to accommodate. My front yard is enclosed and safe for sniffing and hanging out but I will be walking your pets all around my area (avoiding the canals) and playing with them on the beach (unless you don't want this/they don't enjoy that).
About: I’ve spent 20+ years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide safe, attentive, personalized care. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies and kittens who need structure and consistency to senior pets who need patience, comfort, and extra support. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel secure and cared for. My goal is simple: to make your time away easier by giving your pet reliable, loving care and giving you peace of mind. I work full-time from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and whatever care your pet needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with regular updates and photos. If your pet is staying in my home, they’ll have a calm, comfortable environment with outdoor access, plus lots of supervision and companionship since I work from home with a flexible schedule.
“Annalisa was great with my 4 month old puppy! She was punctual, responsive, and engaged with Juniper. She always took photos and kept me updated with any changes & questions. She was willing to come for a meet & greet as well as for key pick up! I was grateful for the help!”
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, chickens, and fish have not only made me a huge animal lover, but have lead my curiosity and passion towards animal health, safety, and wellness in my adult years. I have volunteered at the SPCA, cared for boarding pets, and taken care of friend’s and family’s beloved animals for over a decade. I’m extremely well-versed in animal body language and behavior and will not hesitate to share updates throughout our time together. During the year I worked at a pet daycare, I learned how to care for the smallest, sickest kitties, to the biggest and most energy-filled puppies. After about 8 months working there, I was promoted to handling and administering the guest’s food and medication, so I have lots of experience and knowledge about all kinds of different food and meds for dogs and cats. Furthermore, at just 8 years old, I taught my family dog, Rudy, how to sit, lay down, shake, go to his “spot”, balance a treat, spin, among other common words used on a day to day basis. I was fortunate to have such a bright puppy who made both our learning experiences absolutely fun. I’m continuing working with animals because I enjoy caring for those who need it most! I’m currently freelancing so I can be available anytime and can prioritize and reserve times and dates that work on your schedule! I live in a convenient commuting area so that won’t be a problem. In my client’s home, I would ask for a written lists of things I need to know like food and medication schedule, estimated walk times (if they get walks) and where to walk them, what activities they enjoy, what treats I have access to, as well as household questions if I’m staying for a few days or longer than a week regarding plants, food, door locks, community code, etc. I’m cleanly and organized so I intend to be consistently respectful and helpful in that regard.
“Maxine seems great, my pups took to her pretty quickly and that's the most important part 😊. The pups are looking forward to their overnight stays with her in July.”
“Last minute check in request and she responded quickly and provided exactly what my Jasmine needed. She is communicative and puts effort and care into her job. Thank You so much 😊”
“Yessy was great! My golden retriever absolutely loved her. She came on time, took him for a walk and turned on dog tv for him before leaving. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I had a last minute drop-in request with Eileen and she was able to check on my pups on the same day! She was very prompt with her responses and updates. Over text, Eileen seemed very friendly. My pups looked happy in the photos as well. I would definitely book with Eileen again :)”
“Tracy took the time same day to come over and meet my dog Clio before I had to go out of town. She understood my dogs separation anxiety and was patient and kind in working with her. Thank you Tracy!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time sitter with 6+ years of experience offering personalized, one-on-one care. I accept only one client at a time so your pup gets my full attention in a calm, stress-free home. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments across the Westside. For cats: drop-ins and house-sitting only. I’m known for being patient, intuitive, and attentive—whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or senior, I tailor care to their needs so they feel safe and comfortable. Clients love my excellent communication, twice-daily photo updates, and the peace of mind of coming home to a happy, healthy dog and a very clean space. Good to know: ✔ Work from home — your dog is not alone for long (max 2.5 hours) ✔ Only one dog at a time, no other pets ✔ Clean, cozy Venice studio (great for small dogs) Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out and check out my reviews 🐾 I work from home so your dog wouldn’t be alone for too long. I truly care for my client’s dogs as if they were my own. My bed is a very popular nap, hangout spot. My apartment is a spacious studio, so ideal for small dogs/puppies. I keep it super clean as well! I have 3 doggy day beds, toys, treats and blankets for them. I always wash everything after each booking.
“Awa is absolutely WONDERFUL! She is incredibly caring, honest, dependable, responsible and trustworthy. She has an immense love for dogs and will treat yours as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to ensure my baby was safe, was fed and had plenty of love while I was away at work. Being a dog owner herself, she understands how anxious and worried a dog parent can be when they can't be with their pup. She really went above and beyond-always letting me know when she was on her way and providing updates and photos to ensure that he was a happy boy. In addition, she always made sure she was on time when visiting Rico-not because it was a job-but because of her genuine care and concern for the well-being of my dog. I would 100% recommend Awa to care for your pet. I will definitely be asking her to return for future visits!! :)”
“McKenzie was truly amazing! She was so professional and communicative. She made us feel safe and confident that our puppy was in good hands. She took such great care of our 10-week old puppy and truly gave us peace of mind. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Ryan did a drop in visit for our cat while we were out of town. He was professional, thorough and did everything we needed. We also appreciated him moving our package out of the sun. Would definitely book again”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Marina del Rey is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Marina del Rey
We hired Heather for drop-in visits when a last-minute trip came up, and after our experience, I highly recommend her. Heather came right over for a meet-and-greet, and it took only seconds for her and Oliver to become best friends. In fact, when we came home from our trip, he told us that he wants to live with Mrs. Heather now. While we were gone, she provided Oliver with food (which has medications involved), cleaned his litter, played with him, brushed him, fed him treats, gave him love, and even cleaned up. Major Kudos: Oliver requires this transdermal medication applied within his ear. This is something that's difficult even for me to apply, so I sort of accepted it'd be impossible for anyone else. And yet, Heather was able to apply it—all four times. Oh, and all of the pictures she sent were like... professional. My cat looked like a model. So I mean, really, does it get better than that? Heather is a wonderful sitter, and unless Oliver chooses to move in with her, we'll be hiring her again.
Alex has been taking care of my cat Argo for several years. Argo has started to have kidney disease this year and Alex has been super good at giving Argo meds and taking good care of Argo, even when my house had ant issues. Alex is also super flexible at her schedule and I'm so grateful that Alex could accept my last minute schedule change. Thank you so much!!
Alexandra was great with my two cats! one requires an inhaler and she had no problem wrangling her for treatment. She was very good about giving each cat what they needed. One is very into play time while the other is all about the cuddles! I felt very confident leaving her with them and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Kirstin was communicative and did a lot to reassure me that my cat was in safe hands. She was attentive and communicative, and also helped me discover my cat loves watching TV 🤣 Thank you for helping me take care of Bagheera while I was away, and I hope he gets to see you again.
Once again, Lauren saves the day! I was able to book her services last minute and she did a great job taking care of my two cats. She’s really kind and loving toward the cats, and very thorough with her care and communication. I felt at ease while I was out of town knowing that Lauren was looking after my cats. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend her highly enough. She took care of my senior cat with such care and attention, sending me pictures at every step of the process, which meant the world to me since my cat needs medication and I worry about her constantly. She was incredibly communicative, always arrived on time, and her updates were thorough and detailed. She even went the extra mile when a grocery delivery arrived—she came by this morning, put everything away in the fridge, and made my life so much easier. This is my first time using a Rover sitter and I’m already planning to book her again. She’s exactly the kind of reliable, thoughtful person you want caring for your pets.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
