“Vinh is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time having him take care of our babies and he was very attentive to the needs of our pets. Including two of which that are special needs. We would highly recommend him and will definitely request him in the future.”
“Kelcy is hands down the best pet-sitter out there. My only hesitation in leaving this review is that others will flock to gain her services and she won’t be available to take care of our animals 😉😂 Thank you for caring so much, Kelcy!!!!”
“Tiffany consistently does a great job checking in on our cat! She is an excellent communicator and is sure to promptly let me know of any issue or concern that she notices. We also love seeing the pictures that she sends! It is clear that she gives our cat lots of playtime and attention. Rosie always seems very happy and healthy when we return.”
“It’s always a pleasure and a restful state of mind knowing my kitties are being well taken care of when I’m away!! Pam is the best at communication and kitty pics !! Highly recommended!!!”
“Andrey is amazing! He showed up right on time to meet and greet my pups. He’s very sweet, kind and showed great attention to detail in regards to caring for my crew. My senior dogs need a lot of love and he took such great care of them. He was very communicative, sending me pictures and updates of how my dogs were doing each day. He even kept my home neat and tidy. Andrey was a fabulous choice and I will continue to have him watch my dogs again in the future.”
“Sarah came by for the meet and greet the day before she was to drop in. Our 3 girls loved her, even the suspicious one. Pictures followed of her playing with the 2 of them, the suspicious one doesn’t like to play but she got lots of love. You can tell Sarah loves dogs and is a responsible adult. I highly recommend her!!”
“Nicole did a great job watching my two cats! She provided updates, sent pictures, and she left the place clean. I will definitely be booking her the next time I need a sitter!”
“I can’t thank Kayla enough for watching over our 2 cats! One of our cats was recently diagnosed with diabetes and it really changed our vacation plans but Kayla saved us! We felt so at ease knowing that she could easily administer insulin shots to our cat. She was so thoughtful and even came quickly over to check on our girl when we thought she was having a low blood sugar episode. She communicated well and let me know how my girls were doing everyday. I would definitely rebook with her again! Thank you so much Kayla 💓”
“Sophia really took good care of my dog. She handles well when my dog charged at her on the first day. I would definitely request for her help again. And would highly recommend her to others.”
“Steph is absolutely the best!! She took such wonderful care of our “babies”. Our cat is very shy but she warmed right up to Steph. Steph stayed in contact with us with her detailed updates at each visit (she visited our home 3 x a day). She also sent us lovely photos of all of our pets during each visit. Everyone looked very happy and very well cared for. I will definitely hire Steph again each time I go out of town!!”
“Jessica did drop-in visits for our cat while we were away for a few days. She was responsive from beginning to end, and I felt confident to leave Oliver with her. She gave daily updates and made us feel at ease. Would love to have Jessica come take care of Oliver again in the future. Thank you Jessica!”
“Nadya was an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative and went above and beyond by checking in on my chickens and tortoise. Her reliability and responsibility gave me peace of mind while I was away, knowing my pets were well cared for with daily visits. Highly recommend!”
“Maria is prompt and easy to communicate with. She taught Hazel a few commands and was always very caring. She went above and beyond in several circumstances. I highly recommend her!”
“Marissa was wonderful with my puppy, shes so sweet and you can really tell she takes great care of the pets she watches. She gave daily check ins and provided adorable photos. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi there, I have had my current dog for 14 years now and I got her when she was a puppy. About 2 years ago I became a dog dad to a Belgian Malinois and about 5 years ago another dog joined our family I work from home so I'm on calls or emails all day and I'm able to pretty much be with your animals all day, providing many potty breaks With extensive knowledge of canine behavior, nutrition, and health needs,I provide attentive and loving care tailored to each individual dog's unique personality and requirements. I have experience with multiple of all breeds as well as ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I love to send pictures and updates throughout my time with your animal.
About: I have many years of experience with all kinds of animals! Friends often ask me, as their go-to, for pet sitting. Multiple dogs at once, dogs and cats together in the same house, etc. I received a liver transplant that saved my life about two years ago, and walking was and has been a great recovery activity for me, especially when dogs are included. :) Interacting with animals and being outside is very important to me to lead a joyful life. I have pretty open availability, especially during the week. I am experienced with crate trained dogs, but I do keep them out the entirety that I am with them and try to provide an engaging interaction with your pets! I understand how important it is to provide your animals with stimulation!

Upon meeting Sophia, you could immediately tell that she is a very kind and caring person. She kept me updated throughout my trip and even made sure I made it home safely. I highly recommend Sophia and would absolutely have her watch my cat again. I hope to have the opportunity to schedule with her again in the future!
We had such a wonderful experience with Pam watching our kitty! This was our first time using the app, so naturally we had some concerns, but we felt completely at ease after meeting Pam. She took the time to learn all about our kitty’s care and kept us updated each day with photos, which we looked forward to every evening while we were on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our kitty was in such good hands. I would not hesitate to book Pam again. Thank you so much, Pam!
Once again, Nicole took great care of our kitties! We were gone for two weeks, and she kept us updated about what was going on with them the whole time. She is very responsive, and she gave them extra cuddles when they seemed lonely :). We will definitely book her next time we're out of town!
Extremely happy with our experience with Jeanine! We travel frequontly overseas for a few weeks at a time. We have booked her for every one of our last 3 trips. She is absolutely the best! I know our cats are in good hands and I go back home to a house that looks like we never left. She is taking great care of our pets including play. She also takes great care of our house - collecting the mail, cleaning up after the cats, leaving the home spotless and even taking care of an ant situation we had one of the times. She goes above and beyond every time and we will use her services every time we travel. Great communication, incredible dedication to her work. I am so glad we found her and highly recommend her!
Sarah is the best pet sitter EVER. EVER. She can handle any & all issues and does so without contacting you needlessly while you're away. I've never felt so secure having someone in my personal space and caring for my pets, plants & home as I do with Sarah. Book with her. You'll be so glad you did!!!
Carly was awesome! Came over a few days in advance to meet the cats and hear the set up for the five days we were gone. We had no worries while we were away with Carly checking in on them and keeping their litter boxes clean and waters stocked. She sent a picture of both of them each check in and was communicative and reliable. Thanks Carly! Would definitely book again 😸😸
We had a wonderful experience with Bihua as our cat sitter. She took care of our two cats for four days and did an excellent job. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure to send us updates with photos after every visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cats looked happy and well cared for the whole time. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Poway on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 Poway. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
