“I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Karisma. From the moment we connected, I knew my pets would be in the best hands—and I was absolutely right. She went above and beyond in every possible way. My dogs absolutely lit up when Karisma arrived, and it was clear they built an instant bond. Whether it was playtime in the yard, cozy snuggles on the couch, or just that comforting presence animals can feel, she treated my pups like family. My cat, who can be shy around new people, actually came out to play too! That alone says everything about Karisma's gentle, patient nature. I received regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful messages that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It’s rare to find someone who connects so genuinely with animals—and even rarer to find someone so responsible, communicative, and loving. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, look no further. Karisma is a true gem, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. I will absolutely be booking again!”

About: Hi my name is Rebecca 🙂 My husband and I currently have two indoor house cats, Ruby and Flora. I previously worked through Rover and have recently reactivated my services. I work from home so I have flexible availability to check in on your kitties in the for feeds and pets. Just let me know what would work best for you! I am not currently sitting pets in my own home. I am always accommodating to kitties in their own home and will always do my best to make them feel comfortable and cared for. One of my current cats is skiddish around strangers so I am very understanding when it comes to shy kitties.

About: Hi! I'm Nicole, a lifelong animal lover with seven years of experience working at Saugus Animal Hospital and over 10 years of pet sitting for friends and family. I grew up with large Alaskan Malamute/Huskies and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. My husband also works from home several days each week, so your dog will rarely be left alone. My home has a secure front and backyard, and my two resident cats are very accustomed to having dogs visit. We live in a neighborhood with beautiful shaded paseos and a nearby park, making it easy to enjoy safe and comfortable walks. I'm also a lifelong cat owner and currently have two sister cats who are the center of my world. For cat owners, I offer drop-in visits in your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm especially good with shy or nervous cats and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. My veterinary experience taught me how to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort, and I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs. After walks and hikes, I always check dogs for foxtails and debris, and I'm happy to arrange a bath with owner approval if needed. Whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or visiting your cat in theirs, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work primarily from home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I typically like to take dogs out for walks early in the morning before the weather gets too warm and again in the evening as temperatures cool down. Depending on your dog's energy level and preferences, we can enjoy neighborhood walks along our shaded paseos, visits to the nearby park, or even hikes on local trails. On the occasional day that I need to go into the office for a few hours or attend a work event, I coordinate my schedule whenever possible with my husband's work-from-home days so that your dog continues to receive attention, companionship, and timely potty breaks. My goal is to maintain your dog's normal routine as closely as possible and make their stay feel like a home away from home. I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels relaxed and at home. My home has both an enclosed backyard and front yard, providing secure outdoor space for potty breaks and supervised play. Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that's allowed in their home, as I want to maintain the routines and comforts they're accustomed to. With seven years of experience working at Saugus Animal Hospital, I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being so I can quickly identify if something seems off. Safety is especially important to me during walks and outdoor adventures. After walks or hikes, I carefully check dogs for foxtails, burrs, and other debris that can become lodged in their paws, ears, or fur. I also follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise restrictions, and special care needs. I provide regular photo updates and communication throughout your pet's stay so you can feel confident knowing they're happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention. If needed, I can also take dogs to a self-service dog wash for a bath (with owner approval) before they head home.

For now, I can work any day except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can watch and take care of a pet in any circumstance. I am able to crate dogs too. I like to play with and bond with pets so they don’t get too bored.

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life and currently have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, including larger dogs and pets that need a little more patience. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I’ll always treat them like I would my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and your pet’s normal routine. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends and can provide plenty of supervision throughout the day. I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I also have multiple rooms available, so pets can be kept separate when needed or given their own space to relax and feel comfortable. I’ll follow any feeding instructions, walking schedules, routines, or other preferences you provide, and I’m happy to adjust based on each pet’s personality and needs.

About: Making sure the owners trust me is a priority. I want them to feel comfortable of me taking care of their pets while they are away. I am experienced with taking care of young, old, big, and small pets. I have been taking care of my own pets since a young age. I am dependable, respectful, and can follow directions. Your house and pets can be safe with me! I currently do not have a job so I am free almost anytime. I can come last minute if that is needed. I have pets of my own so I understand if they have specific needs and that is perfectly okay with me. When caring for the owners pets, I make sure that they are safe, healthy, and happy. I can easily put them in crates if that is needed. I make sure that I create a comforting environment for the pets so they know all is well. My main priority is making sure the pet and owners wants and needs are met so everything works out!

“I just had hip replacement surgery so feeding my cat and taking care of the cat box was a daunting task. Ariel came fed my cat, took care of the litter box and then asked if she could do anything else. She was sweet, gracious and kind to both me and my cat.

About: Hi! I’m Walter, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs of all sizes, including toy poodles and schnauzers. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and safe. Friends and family describe me as calm, dependable, and attentive. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have experience teaching dogs basic commands and enjoy reinforcing positive behaviors through patience and consistency. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and following detailed feeding, medication, and exercise routines. My goal is simple: to treat every pet as if they were my own, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, responsible hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and always prioritize safe walks and supervised play. As a board-certified physician, attention to detail, responsibility, and clear communication are qualities I bring to every visit.

Hire Cordelia. Full stop, you found the one. Communicative ✅ Goes above and beyond ✅ Great with multi-pets✅ My pets were running out of food and it was delivered mere hours after I left for the airport. She not only refilled their containers, but set the box up for my cat to play in. Scooped and refilled the litter box and gave real solid play time to both. A real gem in NoHo/Burbank. I will be hiring Cordelia again, 1,000%

Gabriela is so great! She's conscientious, reliable, and totally trustworthy. She visited my cat every day when I was out of town for a week. Gabriela fed her, cleaned up, and sent me photos and text updates -- even alerted me that a smoke alarm needed a new battery. I felt safe going out of town. Gabriela had everything handled! I will book her again, for sure. I highly recommend her, no question.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Newhall

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newhall is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 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 November 2026, there are 1,909 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newhall. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 cancellation policy, 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.
