“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”
“Charnell did an amazing job with our 2 cats! She responded quickly to my messages, sent updates and pictures, and I came home to happy kitties. I would definitely recommend Charnell for your pet care needs!”
“Maddy was so amazing! She sent multiple updates a day with pictures, and our kitten was clearly incredibly well taken care of and happy. She left our place clean and just like we left it. We’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you again :)”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8, and I’ve always loved being around animals! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your furry friends the love, attention, and care they deserve! I can be flexible with walks, visits, and playtime to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’ll stick to their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks, while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
“This was our first time working with Caroline. What a pleasure! Easy, to the point, great communication and care of Stella. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind she is in good hands. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I've cared for cats on-and-off as an adult for the last 8 years. I grew up with cats as family pets, so caring for them feels like second-nature! I tend to be my friends' go-to person for cat sitting and house-sitting. I don't mind spending the day or staying overnight to keep cats company. I follow instructions well, and keeping clean litter boxes & bagging/trashing dirty litter is always my priority! I work full-time, so Wed-Fri, I can only pet sit in the evening. Tues, Sat and Sun I can sit throughout the day. I can stay overnight on a Fri or Sat night. I am comfortable with basic cat care duties like feeding, filling water bowls, cleaning litter (scooping, sweeping, dumping dirty litter in dumpster). I'm happy to play with & pet cats as long as they need!
“Hayle was gracious enough to take my almost last minute 3 day booking when my friend (who usually checks in on my boy) wound up having to go out of town for the second half of my trip. We had enough time for a quick meet n greet and got things squared away before I left. I feel like I didn't give enough info about my boy and probably forgot things for her when she came here. In spite of that, she did a fantastic job and my boy was taken care of while I was gone. Thanks so much!”
“Was very communicative, left great notes, and sent great pics. I felt very comfortable while away and knew my pets were under great care. Easy to work with and would definitely hire again.”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 8 years old. Family and friends have called me to watch there pets when they left home or needed a day off. I also pet sit fish, reptiles and farm animals as well. This is my full time job and I am always accepting new clients. My schedule is always open and I’m ready to take on new jobs as needed. I make sure to to keep eyes on your pet at all times when outside and in the the home. I like to know they are safe at all times. Even if the backyard is fenced in. I always make sure to be on the side of the road with traffic when walking your pet so they don’t run into traffic or try to run into traffic.
About: I am a dog daycare counselor during the day and hopefully your future sitter by evening. I am certified in animal CPR and 1st aid. I am experienced with medication administration for any kinds or conditions. I am also trained in dog behavior. I am currently a supervisor at a dog daycare and they are my day to day life. Even at home we have 2 cats and a dog. Our home is never without our 4 pawed babies. I love to give them my full attention because I know they always have mine. I usually like to follow a plan for our days, but I mostly want the pet to feel happy and comfortable.
About: I have worked at an animal hospital as well as a pet boarding facility. I absolutely adore animals but dogs are my favorite. I have handled all kinds of breeds, sizes, temperaments, etc. I know what to do in most emergency situations and have used my knowledge in both of my roles. I work 8-5 Mon-Friday. I do have an hour for lunch so I would be available to drop in to check on your pup! I am available by all means outside of those hours! I love each dog like my own, making sure to provide lots of love and attention like they deserve. I am able to follow any feeding schedule and try my best to stay on your dogs routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their human is gone!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley went above and beyond for Monkey and Winston, sending the sweetest pictures and keeping me updated the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing they were so well cared for. I’ll definitely be rebooking her next time I’m away!”
“Coleman has been doing a great job checking on my father’s cat. My father is elderly and can’t bend down to fill the bowls or change the litter. Coleman has been consistent with the check ins and keeps me updated on how things are going. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been pet sitting all through my life. I can take care of kittens and puppies as well. I am an animal lover to the core. I currently work full time from Monday to Friday 9am-4pm. I am available anytime after 4pm or before 9am on weekdays and all day on weekends. I don't have pets of my own due to my lease. But I have done sitting at apartment buildings and homes. I can acclimate as needed.
“First time hiring Kelly to look after 3 cats and we knew they would be in good hands after the meet and greet. She provided pictures and detailed updates on how they were behaving (2 cats were recovering from respiratory issues). And our cats took to her quite readily. Great care and peace of mind while on vacation. Highly recommended.”
About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,299 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 .
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 .

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.
