“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!!”
“Jeanine was excellent dropping in to take care of our two dogs ! My dogs were happy and safe! Jeanine kept me updated through photos and text during each visit. Very happy with the service and highly recommend Jeanine. Would use again without hesitation!”
“This was the second time Vinh took care of our fur babies and again he was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely respectful of our home, took perfect care of our pets. He treats them as if they were his own. The amount of time and love he give them is so special. We never have to worry! He even helped out with little things around the house since we were gone for so long! Vinh is ABSOLUTELY the BEST!!”
“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.”
About: Throughout my life I’ve lived and played with dogs of all sizes and ages. My parents had a small, old dog until we moved and brought in a golden retriever. Before I was 10, I was out in charge of raising a German Shepard puppy who grew to be 100 lbs! I currently have a small mixed breed and a black lab, we keep each other entertained and happy. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to meet and take care of your pets. I do travel occasionally and will keep my availability up to date. I live in a fenced-in half-acre where the dogs & chickens run freely. Indoor care and/or crating is no problem as long as the animals can feel safe. I’d prefer to come to you where your pet(s) might be more comfurtable and will be sure to leave your home is as-good-or-better cleanliness than I find it in.
“Maria did drop-in visits for our 5 y.o. cat while we were away for a couple weeks, and she was wonderful! She tended to all of our precious girl’s needs (and she can be very needy), and kept her happy and active while we were out. I’d highly recommend Maria for cat-sitting needs.”
“We had a great experience with Megan stopping by each day to check on our cats. She sent thorough updates with photos which is always appreciative and took great care of our kitties. Her girls came over too so they got some extra love and pets. We will definitely look to use Megan again!”
About: I've loved all animals for as long as I could remember and am currently pursuing a veterinary profession in undergrad. I own 3 dogs of my own and am shadowing a veterinarian this summer, and my experience of handling all kinds of animals and behaviors with unfamiliar people expands every day. I love all animals and getting to spend time with them in any way I can. I currently am only shadowing on Tuesdays and Fridays at an animal hospital, but every other day I am dedicating to showering my own pups with love, and can easily fit in devoted attention to any animal that requires it. I prioritize communication, safety, and your pet's comfort are my highest priorities. I hope to make your time away from home as stress-free as possible and making sure your pet's needs and happiness is of number one importance. As a pre-veterinary student I have a diverse background and knowledge of how to accommodate for every animal's unique needs.
“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!!!!”
About: I’m a reliable and active pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals and keeping them engaged. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether your dog needs exercise or your pet just needs company and care, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in being responsible, communicative, and treating every pet like it’s my own. I have a flexible schedule and can consistently make time for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, including weekends. Being active, I enjoy spending time outside with dogs, but I also make sure all pets get the attention, routine, and care they need to stay comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific care details. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment and never left unattended in unsafe situations. I pay attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Nicole was fabulous! She really seemed to care about my cats and sent the best photos. Even one of my cats who never, ever lets anyone other than me and my partner see her or let alone touch her, came out and loved on Nicole! She is magic. I will rebook with her any chance I get!”
“Jessica was great!! She communicated well and responded quickly. She reminded me to make sure she had access to the pets before I left. I came home to a sweet note and happy and healthy animals. Her pictures and care card where thorough, letting me know they were in good hands while I was away. Would definitely book her again!!”
“This is my first time using Rover and the experience couldn't have been better thanks to Steph!!! Her love for animals and caring for them is felt every step of the way. The only downfall to vacation getaways is missing our fur children, and it made me feel so much better that they were both being taken care of so well by Steph. ❣️ Biggest pro: Einstein loved her Pros: Communicative, punctual, detailed and caring notes, timely pet pics, friendly, peace of mind Cons: NONE Steph, you just became out go to sitter. Thank you!!!”
“Nadya was wonderful. Some issues came up (completely my fault) but she was very flexible and was able to accommodate the workaround. I don’t think I can thank her enough. She also took great photos and provided daily summaries on my cat. She was quick to respond to any of my questions and requests. I am definitely hoping to work with her again.”

Nicole is amazing 😍 She helped me by going beyond and helping me with an unexpected issue of ant-attack on my kitty's meal. I was so touched that she cleaned everything, took care of her food, and placed it in a moat. She goes beyond just doing the normal. I really really appreciate her taking care of Euri so I could be where I was.
Sarah was amazing with my two cats! From the moment I met her, her calm and kind energy set all of us at ease. My high energy cat and fluffy scaredy cat both took to her immediately. She was caring, on time, sent cutest pictures and left the house tidy. I would recommend her to all my friends!
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 😸😸
Emily did an AMAZING job caring for our dog and cat. She was very thorough in following our requested guidance and our animals were very well loved in her care. She also was a great communicator about when she would be coming by and took lots of photos. Everyone was very happy when we got back home. Thanks, Emily!
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.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Poway on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 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.

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.
