About: I love animals, I am very meticulous when it comes to pet care and what needs to be done for them to thrive, be safe, and healthy. I am a firm believer that a pet is a vital part of a family and will always treat them as such. If you have any special needs or requests for your pet, no matter how complex or intricate it might be, I will be happy to do so to in order for them to feel comfortable and for you to breathe easy knowing your baby is taken care of with the upmost care in your absence. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am responsible for my cat Pepe from hygine, feedings, play time, vet visits, and anything else he might need to thrive. I am a substitute teacher and don't always have the opportunity to work. This would be the perfect way to get extra income with my free time that I would absolutely love doing. Whatever needs to be done, will be done in a timely manner and according to schedule. I would take care of any pet as if it was my own, because that's what they deserve. I have always loved animals and would thrive in a role where I could help them, meet their needs, and get some quality time with them.
“Jordan absolutely goes above and beyond plainly because he genuinely loves animals! My cats connected with him immediately and were so happy to have his company. Jordan checked in with pictures and videos, and gave me such peace of mind. This is the guy for your animal care!”
“Ashley is a great cat sitter. She completes all tasks around our house effectively and per our directions. We have a special snowflake kitty who takes a lot of medications and Ashley has no problem administering pills and liquid medications. She is our go-to sitter and we would recommend her to everyone!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for almost 5 years. I love getting to know them and seeing where they are and not forcing them to be friendly I work in the morning and get off around 4. And have all the free time in the world. I love helping with animals. I also have lunch breaks where I can stop in and check on your fury loved ones I truly love hanging out with them until I have to go. They just need a friend or sometimes just someone in the house they are like little babies that I cherish with my heart
“Kali was amazing. My cat Chandler is extremely timid and shy and doesn’t warm up to strangers easily. I was so worried about leaving him for this reason but he absolutely loved Kali. The photos she sent showed how close he got to her and I will definitely be using her again. She truly is the cat whisperer. She was also very accommodating to my requests. Because of Kali, I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying if Chandler was okay.”
“Marie is very sweet and communicative. My fur babies love when she comes to see them. I can tell that she enjoys her time with them as well. I am grateful and happy that I found someone as sweet as Marie to watch over my cats while I am away for extended periods of time.”
About: I’ve boarded two dogs before at my own place and I have cat sat at a few owners houses before. I’m responsible and will communicate when I check in on your loved pets. As tax, I will always send a photo of your pet as well every time I check in on them and truly enjoy spending some playtime with them as well. I live by a little lake that’s great for walks too! I currently am flexible to make time to care for your furry family members. Happy to see photos and do a chat before deciding if this may be a good fit! I will make time and open for cuddles if you allow your pet bed/couch time. But if you don’t like that, I can reinforce it’s not okay while on you’re away. With your permission, I let the pets enjoy a Netflix experience by putting on YouTube videos of animal footage they might enjoy.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and small pets since childhood and have 7 years of formal pet/house-sitting experience in San Diego, including daily walks, medication administration, and senior-pet care. I’m calm, punctual, and used to following detailed routines and owner instructions while keeping homes clean and secure. As a certified calisthenics trainer and wellness coach I bring stamina for long walks, reliable energy for active dogs, and a respectful, low-impact presence in homes; I’m happy to provide references and a video call before booking. My schedule is flexible, and I can give pets consistent care throughout the day. I’m usually available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, with enough time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, respect home rules, and make sure pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.
“Jay is always my first choice for a sitter because he is dependable, communicative, and caring. My partner and I know our cats are doing well while we’re away which is a huge stress relief. Thanks so much!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old. Not only have I been responsible for my own family pets, but I’ve also helped care for the pets of friends and family members over the years. These experiences have taught me the importance of being reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine, providing plenty of attention and care, and maintaining a safe environment. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.I will treat your pets with the same care and affection that I give my own. I’m available all day Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, I’m available after 1:00 PM. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Safety is a nonnegotiable and I will do everything I can to keep your pet safe. When it comes to instructions for your animal, I will ask as many questions as I can do to ensure everything is planned out to your liking. When it comes to trust with animals I will give them all the space they need to get use to me.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. I have experience walking dogs, feeding pets, cleaning up, and spending time with them. I have two pets of my own a black cat named velvet and a goldendoodle dog named Chloe. Im currently working on part time, im available Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies!! And we’ll have lots of fun together hopefully. I have a smaller backyard but it’s spacious I also live in more of a small neighborhood so there’s a lot of sidewalks for walking your fur babies
About: I have experience working at doggy day cares, pet resort and hospital and I most recently have worked with a small pet sitting business where I walked dogs, fed and checked in on all types of pets, administered medication, was a pet taxi, wedding dog attendant and even sold “barkcuterie” boards! I work for in special education at an elementary school and just got out for summer break. I have open availability throughout the week and weekends! I am a very respectful, clean and organized person. I take pride in my attention to detail when it comes to being attentive to your pet and strive to leave things as they were or in better condition than I found them!
“Gao was an amazing fit for my need(s) for BearBear. Reading her profile was the main reason I selected her. She was very knowledgeable, passionate, and handled BearBear with the care he needed; above and beyond (medicine doses, nail trim, etc.). Her communication, availability and empathy was exactly what I needed. Thank you!”
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - National City
She did such a great job taking care of my cat! She was caring, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat, which meant so much to me. I really appreciated her help and would highly recommend her to other pet parents! 🐾❤️
Thank you Rachel for taking care of pumpkin while I was away! Rachael provided plenty of pictures, a sweet little recap of their visit and tons of enrichment for my boy. I hate having to leave my animals when I travel but feel so much better knowing they’re being watched after by someone who truly cares for them like their own, and that is Rachel. 100% recommend
Anjelica was great! I booked her last minute and she was super accommodating, setting up a meet and great quickly. She was very communicative, followed all guidelines and provided updates with lots of photos. I felt comfortable leaving my cat under her care while I was away and was able to enjoy my time knowing all was being taken care of back home. Thanks again! 🐈⬛
Rosa was fantastic with my dog and cat!! My dog isn’t the best with new people, but I appreciated her coming to do a meet and greet first. She was patient with him and built trust and he was super excited when she came to walk him! She did great and I appreciate her communication. She’s also super sweet in general and I will definitely book her again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in National City on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,070 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across National City. 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 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.

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.
