“Linda was wonderful, and I highly recommend her. This was the first time we left Mochi alone for 7 days, and because he's such a social cat, I was nervous about how he'd adjust. What I appreciated most was how honest and communicative Linda was. She always kept us informed, and her detailed, heartwarming visit notes became something I genuinely looked forward to reading during our trip. It was so reassuring to know how Mochi was doing each day. I also sent her what probably felt like a gazillion notes beforehand. They were mostly backup information in case Mochi wasn't eating or playing normally, but Linda was incredibly patient and never made me feel like I was being too much. She followed the guidance thoughtfully and took the time to understand him. She also drove quite a distance to care for Mochi, and I'm very grateful for that. Our usual sitter wasn't available, and I was worried about how he'd handle both a new sitter and a longer time apart from us. Thanks to Linda, he adjusted really well. It was obvious that he was not only cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. We're so grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“By far the best cat sitter in Fallbrook! Sam is awesome, she’s so great with the cats and clearly cares about them. She’s even come over for emergency visits when my cat needed medicine in the middle of the day last minute. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been trusted by friends and family to pet sit the past 3 years. I love all animals the same and have owned multiple pets my whole life. I am working part time and college part time with a flexible afternoon schedule. Mornings on Friday-Sundays are always great and give me lots of free time. I have a secure fenced in backyard with chickens separated to the side. We have a dog crate inside. At this time I do not offer boarding while I am trying to train my puppy.
About: I’ve looked after neighbors dogs and family friends dogs for years. I’m knowledgeable in canine body language so I can read their comfort levels and ensure they aren’t getting overwhelmed. I am very proficient in bathing dogs, I get dogs with double coats deshed and curly coated dogs brushed out. I am currently working part time at a dog grooming facility, but I have few hours. I would have plenty of time to play or lounge with your pups depending on their needs. If your dog is low energy, I would be more than happy to just hang out and play low impact games with them. For my high energy buddies, I would be happy to (with pet parent permission) take them on a trail hike or play ball.
“Sean has been amazing with my baby girl! It gives me so much comfort knowing she’s in great care while I’m away. Since my girl is a strong dog I have never felt comfortable with anyone taking her for walks, but with Sean I have total confidence and she is a much more relaxed dog when I come home:)”
“Sienna was absolutely wonderful with our dog—kind, attentive, and clearly experienced. Communication was excellent throughout, and she was incredibly flexible with some minor changes to the schedule, which we really appreciated since my husband is in the military and had to leave on short notice. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and definitely recommend her!”
“Awesome as always! Pays attentions to the details to help ensure our kitty is ok while we are away. I feel much better going out town knowing that Sarah is checking on our boy.”
“Sammy is great! She treated my kitty well and provided pictures as well as a video. It really gave me the piece of mind and comfort I sought while I was away. She did an excellent job following instructions and worked around my needs. She is super sweet and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking care for their pet. Thank you!!”

“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”
About: I've had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I'm retired now, and I have all the time in the world to hang out with yours! I'm retired, with nothing to distract me from taking care of your pet. I have a nice yard to entertain your dog during the day, or I can come over and hang out with your pet. Either way, I'm your guy! I have a fenced yard and all the time in the world to hang out with or entertain your pet at my house or yours.
“When you have never left your fur babies behind for more than a day, and all of sudden find yourself needing to leave town for nearly a week, the most important and urgent matter at hand is definitely your peace of mind just knowing that your critters are in good hands and that they're being given proper care and TLC. Well Jada here delivers just that! We have never felt more secure with anyone handling our dogs than we did this past week with this stellar Rover contact. If we could give additional stars, we 100% would, because she handled 6 dogs like she had been a part of their day-to-day routine for years! Book your trip and then book Jada, and go about your travels absolutely unbothered.”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting for my neighbor for more than 18 years and I even have experience raising puppies for Canine Companions for Independence. I was also a dog walker for a brief time as well. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have plenty of time to dog/cat-sit in the afternoons and some late mornings. I’m hoping this will lead to some good opportunities. I have a fenced good-sized backyard with a dog-run and a big hill to run around. I don’t have a crate at the moment, so you will have to provide your own.
“Doris did a great job taking care of my kity while we were away. She was kind and respectful, and cleaned up after her when needed. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I am an all around animal lover. I grew up in Hawaii with a connection with all animals and have a deep connection and respect for wildlife and nature. I have lived in Colorado, Tennessee, and now California. I have two large breed rescues of my own and have lots of experience with all size dogs, cats, birds, and exotic pets. I am extremely comfortable with medication administration, reactivity, heavy pullers, training reinforcements, situational awareness, animal body language, and animal welfare. I am available for drop in visits, walks, overnight stays, and any animal needs. I am currently a full time student and dog dad with time in between my dogs routine to help other fur babies through their day. I am a responsible and trustworthy animal friend who understands the importance of following through with individualized care to ensure furry friends and their owners are protected and supported in their day to day.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pala Mesa
Linda has been watching our cats every time we leave town for the last 9 months or so and has been an awesome sitter every time. She sends lots of pictures with updates every visit. She always has good photos of the cats while she plays with them. Even our shy cat Indy seems to really enjoys her company (he usually hides from all guests). I’d highly recommend Linda to anyone in the area in need of a sitter.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Pala Mesa on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pala Mesa. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
