“We had a great experience! She was very sweet, kept us updated with pictures, and made sure our cats were well taken care of. Both cats seemed comfortable with her, and even our shy one let her pet her! We really appreciated her care and would happily book her again.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Cat Sitting Experience! I just want to thank my amazing cat sitter, Aline, who cared for my cat Lilly from June 12th through June 15th. I was a little nervous at first because Aline has a Golden Retriever—but he turned out to be the sweetest, most gentle dog, and honestly, a bit scared of my cat! It was adorable to see how he would run away when Lilly approached. Lilly has never been outside of our home or around other animals before, but Aline and her family made her feel so comfortable and right at home. Aline kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day, which really helped put my mind at ease. Even when my flight was delayed and I ended up picking Lilly up around 2 PM instead of the scheduled 11 AM, Aline was incredibly understanding and patient. She also agreed to a meet-and-greet beforehand—either at my home or hers—and I chose to visit her a week before the trip. That extra step helped both me and Lilly feel even more confident and prepared. I can honestly say I’ll be rebooking in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, I believe your little one will love being with Aline just as much as mine did!”

About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I have been living and pet sitting in the beautiful state of Florida for 11 years. Through word of mouth and referrals from family and friends my list of furry clients has grown over the years. I started with 1 dog, then 2 and now I am actively pet sitting for 5 pet families! I currently pet sit for small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, cats and everything in between. I offer boarding for small and medium dogs and cats. I work from home M-F so it gives me the luxury of being flexible with my schedule and allows me to travel while I work. I am the luckiest dog mom of a 6 year old Bordie Collie mix who loves all dogs and cats! Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm work from home M-F so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am able to work from anywhere with a wifi connection so I bring my work with me when I pet sit. Working from home also allows me to take a long break and head out for some dog walking! I do not have fenced yard but I live in a two bedroom apartment with a park and dog park nearby! I love to take my female dog Lulu on walks. She loves to keep other dogs company. I am open to having a crate in my home or any other necessities to make your pet feel right at home.

About: Hi! My name is Elena, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m a reliable, patient, and caring person who understands that every pet has their own personality and routine. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make safety my top priority during every walk or visit. I work as a pharmacy technician, so I’m detail-oriented and comfortable following medication schedules and providing oral medications if needed. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule, even for last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s routine and instructions to make sure every dog feels happy and secure. I live in a pet-friendly community with a spacious dog park where dogs can safely enjoy extra exercise and playtime if requested. I’m also happy to take dogs to a local dog beach or explore new walking routes with the owner’s permission.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and I love caring for pets! When I was young I used to volunteer at a family friend's vet clinic and I loved getting to meet so many sweet animals. I look forward to being able to help both you and your pet! I’m currently working part time and taking some online classes so my schedule is flexible. I’d love to be able to help out some owners with walks, time with pets, or just stopping in to check on your pet. I’ve had pets, both dogs and cats, my whole life and I love love animals! I love to spend my time with animals and I’m very content to spend easy chill time with your pet or run around with them outside!

About: I have been pet sitting fur babies in my neighborhood and among my mom’s friends since I was a kid. I have had dogs my entire life and currently have a German shepherd that still resides with my parents since I have just moved from Connecticut down to Florida. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I have a very active lifestyle which has given me the energy to keep up with dogs who may seem too high energy or constantly have the zoomies! I know what it’s like to have a dog with a big personality as well as a dog who is more calm so I am prepared for whatever personality your pet may have. I love going on walks, to the park, or even playing fetch in the comfort of your living room. I just moved to Boca Raton from Connecticut with my partner which means I have unfortunately left all my fur clients back home to start anew. I worked at a law firm back home and have not picked anything new up since moving here so I have open availability! I am available for any introductions with your pet that you may need before you book with me. I will follow the exact routine you already have set up and send you updates and pictures of your baby while they are in my care.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and begged for one, now many family friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their pets, along with keeping them company. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, I do not have any other job leaving me very available to care for your pets any day of the week. I will always ensure the pets are safely taken outside, such as being sure they will be leashed before going outside or making sure a backyard is safe for them before letting them out. I can also adapt to any specific needs a pet has, being as patient as needed.

About: Your fur baby deserves to be treated with love and like family ¡También hablo español! I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats before. I as well have dogs myself that I've cared for ever since I was 12. I done overnight stays and have helped family and friends as well when needed to play, feed, or let their dog out as well as take them on walks. As a devoted animal lover, I completely understand the importance of compassionate pet care. I am a Law student at NSU so I have more than enough time to give your pets the fun and enriching days they deserve before and after my classes. I am normally free all days of the week and weekends. I live with my family and 3 dogs of my own so I would not be able to board dogs at my own home but can definitely accommodate in your home. If you choose me for house sitting accommodations, please know that your pets and home will be happier and just as clean as when you left them

About: Animals have always been in my life. Growing up our family dog Athena is the one that made me fall in love with animals. After her I knew there would always be animals in my life. I currently live with my sister and her 11 year old Cavapoo Kali. She is great with other small to medium dogs and we love to go on long "pack" walks when I am boarding. I love both cats and dogs equally and have extensive experience with both. I work remote so I am able to spend time with your animals in the morning, afternoon and evenings. My goal is to find families who want to book out in advance for travel and vacation. Anything from a weekend trip to a longer extended vacation works for me. I do like to get out of the house to workout and will work at a coffee shop but have the time to give your animal plenty of attention. Every animals has different routines and needs. Lets make a plan so everyone is on the same page and all cares and concerns are covered. The safety and trust of you animal is as important to me as it is to you.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my entire life. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs: a 9 year old Golden Retriever (turning 10 in December!) and a high-energy 2 year old American Foxhound. Managing these two gives me daily, hands-on experience balancing the needs of a lively young hound with the gentle care required by a senior dog. Beyond my own pets, I have regular experience caring for friends' and family members' animals. I frequently pet-sit for an older American Bulldog (around 10 years old) and three cats (one boy and two girls), which has made me very comfortable administering specialized senior care and managing multi-species households. I’ve also cared for my aunt's Yorkies, giving me confidence with smaller breeds as well. Whether your pet needs a patient companion for their golden years, a high-energy playmate, or attentive care while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work at a restaurant and my schedule is flexible. I mostly work evenings so i can do day time visits + after work if need be. In My Home: I provide a safe, secure environment tailored to your pet's needs. For dogs under 50 lbs, I have a comfortable crate available if they are crate-trained or need a quiet space to settle. I ensure harmful items are safely out of reach and that high-energy pets get plenty of supervised playtime and exercise. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walking. I keep living spaces secure, ensure doors and gates are carefully monitored, and provide plenty of attention and companionship so your pets feel safe while you're away.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small pups to giant breeds. I helped personally raise and train my family’s loving 100-pound golden doodle, and spent four years throughout college walking and overnight sitting for a wide variety of dogs. I also have experience cat sitting, providing gentle, attentive care to ensure every pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away. I pride myself on providing attentive, reliable, and loving care for every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time and receive my schedule a week in advance. I manage my availability to prioritize pet sitting and can adjust my part-time work hours to revolve around dog and cat sitting needs, ensuring I’m flexible and fully available for your pets. I provide a caring, safe, and comfortable environment where your pet will feel right at home. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention as I would my own — staying clean, organized, and fully attentive to your dog’s or cat’s needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you're away.

About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I am passionate about animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I regularly take my dogs on walks, visits to the park, and provide daily care, including feeding, bathing, and monitoring their overall well-being. I understand the importance of patience, attention, exercise, and proper nutrition to keep pets happy and healthy. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I am available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care services. On Saturdays, I am available in the evenings after 8:00 p.m. I am committed to providing attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I live in a clean and spacious apartment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. While I do not have a fenced yard, there is a large grassy area and plenty of space for safe walks right outside my apartment. I can accommodate up to three dogs at a time to ensure each pet receives individual attention and care. I closely supervise pets, follow their feeding and walking schedules, and carefully follow all instructions provided by their owners. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel happy and well cared for.

I was relieved when Neusa said she was available to take care of my two cats, Reese and Pumpkin on short notice. Again, Neusa followed all instructions to a tee and took excellent care of my cats as if they were her own. For example, she was attentive to Reese’s needs as a senior kitty and supervised mealtime so that 3-year-old Pumpkin did not steal Reese’s food as Reese tends to eat slowly. She has a genuine love for cats and understands their needs! She made sure the kitties got some much needed play time too. As before, Neusa was respectful of my home and left the place clean and in better condition than she found it. She is highly professional, punctual, responds promptly to all communications, and is attentive to details, which helped me feel at ease and comfortable knowing my cats were safe and had loving care in my absence. I highly recommend Neusa!

I was a little nervous to leave the pets as I have never left them overnight before but they were in the absolute best hands with Daniel. He really went above and beyond to care for my dog and cats and they were all very happy when we came home. He kept me updated throughout the day, sent pics and really gave them so much love. My dog looked like he lost his best friend today waiting for Daniel to come. I would absolutely use Daniel again, and recommend him to anyone looking for great care for your babies.

Marissa again did a great job taking care of my kitties Reese and Pumpkin while I was out of town for Thanksgiving for 2 nights. She genuinely loves cats and has a special connection with my kitties. She spent plenty of time sitting and cuddling with my cats so I felt comfortable knowing my cats felt loved and attended to in my absence. Marissa kept everything tidy in my house and left everything as I had left it. Again she followed all instructions to a tee and I look forward to booking her again in the future. Thank you!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Mission Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mission Bay is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 2,942 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mission Bay. 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. 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 , 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 .

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
