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.
“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: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and would love to help care for your pets while you're away! I offer overnight house sitting and drop-in visits, whether your pet needs some company, playtime, walks, cuddles, or just someone to make sure they're happy and comfortable. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time at home with your pets throughout the day. Whether that means taking play breaks, heading out for walks, or providing a warm lap to curl up on while I work, I'm always happy to have a furry coworker! I know every animal has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know their individual quirks. I understand how important it is to respect their boundaries, be patient, and let them build trust at their own pace. Whether you've got an energetic pup, a cuddly cat, or a shy, independent little companion, I'm happy to follow their lead and stick to whatever routine makes them feel most comfortable. I'm also very respectful of people's homes and happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you're away so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands! I recently finished school and am currently applying to jobs, so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available for daytime walks, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. I’m tidy, respectful, and follow your instructions closely—whether that means administering meds, sticking to a walk routine, or just keeping your pet company. I’m also happy to send photo updates!

“We chose Jiaqi again.. our little guy seems to enjoy himself while he’s there. Jiaqi is great with updates and pictures. We totally trust her with him and she seems to enjoy his company as well. 😊😊”

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 6 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 9 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available.

“Emma was very friendly, provided great photos and updates, and easy to work with, even when the care instructions were a little complicated. I would recommend booking with her.”

About: I puppy-sit for my sister's 2yo maltipoo often, I've even helped training him and teaching him certain tricks. Meso on my profile is my sister's dog, I don't have a pet at the moment - I created his info under my account to help my sister when she needs a dog sitter. So my space is pet-free. I also used to have a dog when I was younger, I love dogs! I just came back from LA from helping puppy-sit for my sister's dog for 2 weeks. When I visit family in LA, I am often helping take care of her dog and I love it so much! I feed the pet based on the pet's schedule, provide any medication that may be needed, walk the dog at least once and certainly make sure cleaning up after the pet! Play time is also important, giving the pet treats that are vouched for by the owner. Also making sure emergency contacts and vet info is provided for emergency situations.
About: I’ve lived and cared for animals since I was young. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life! I had my dog for 15 beautiful years and went through all the ups and downs of a dog parent. I administered her medication and provided as many accommodations and love she needed. Currently, I have one medium haired cat who is shy but incredibly sweet and friendly. I’ve had him since he was a kitten and has adjusted to our own little routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave a furry friend behind, so I’m here to relieve any stress you may have and provide as much comfort and care to your loved one! I currently work part-time so I have a flexible schedule. I’m a grad student, so if I’m not at work or class, I’m usually home hanging out with my cat :) My cat is very low maintenance and is used to dogs but if you prefer for him to be separated from your furry friend I can definitely make sure they are in different rooms! My apartment is pet friendly and has a grass area right upfront as well as a fenced yard they can go out to!
“Amina is a gift to my fur babies! My dog and cat both adore her, she gives thoughtful updates, is flexible with my schedule and is delightful to correspond with. She sends funny and cute pics that capture their personalities. I am so much more relaxed at work and in life because I know my critters are in loving, caring hands with her. Book her while you can!!! She’s one in a million!”

About: I love animals so much, but I'm not quite in a place to have a dog of my own just yet. So, I want to shower your pup with all the love and affection I'd give my own if I had one! I have so much love to give, and I might just spoil your dog a little too much. Remember when your grandparents would pick you up for the day and take you to do all your favorite things? That’s exactly the kind of energy I want to bring when caring for your fur baby! I currently work from home, so my schedule is super flexible! I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your fur baby lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a comfortable environment.
“Brenda obviously loves her job and is very good at it. She’s extremely communicative and understanding. She gave my cat his meds and followed his special food instructions, as well as played with him. I would recommend Brenda to anyone!”


“Oh My Gosh, Patches (my kitty) and myself love Vanessa. She was very responsive by sending videos and updates daily. I was comfortable with Vanessa staying at my place. I will definitely book Vanessa again and again.”

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

Kat is super friendly, and it is immediately obvious that she is an animal lover! Our pets warmed up to her right away due to her loving, calm nature. She asked a lot of appropriate questions, and is very responsible. Great communicator as well! We look forward to having her again!

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 :)

The average cost of Cat Sitting in National City is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per visit.

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.

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 .
