About: I worked with our local vet in my 20s. I have handled every kind of dog. Great with medication. Great with high energy or aggressive dogs. Tons of patience. I specialize in short term, emergency and vacation visits. My schedule changes so ongoing services are difficult to schedule. For house sitting, I am gone during the day, but can come back every 3-4 hours for potty breaks. I spend the night 9pm - 7am. Feel free to ask about 24 hour house sitting on the weekends at a different rate. I currently work part time, so can pet sit or visit several times a day. I can stay for a week or more as needed. I can pet sit in your home, visit 3x per day or stay over. I am not able to board at this time. Great with instructions and medications. I keep my prices low because I love dogs! When I can't visit, I look for humane societies so I can drop in 😄
“Lexy was so helpful watching our kitty while we were out of town! Our shy kitty warmed up to her quickly, and Lexy followed all of our instructions to a T. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be recurring customers in the future!”
“Excellent at keeping me up to date with photos and letting me know when she had been to the house to check on my furry family member. Would absolutely recommend her as a critter sitter!!!”
About: I own an Aussie and Husky, I have learned so much from them on how to care for them. I strive to continuously be training our dogs and be active everyday with them. When I am away, I always want my dogs to be happy and enjoy their time. I hope to provide the same for your dog when you are away, that provides you peace and calm they are in good care. I am often active and love walking my dogs. Taking time to walk a dog, make a quick check-in or overnight is super easy for me. I currently work from home so fairly flexible with your schedule. My pets are safe at home with their own sleeping area, have their two walks a day, and play with them for more engaging time.
About: I have cared for pets since I was a young child. My life wouldn’t be complete without them. I’ve owned, fostered, and now sit for all kinds of pets. We have a room set aside for acclimating them, and a large fenced backyard for them to wander around. I care for your pets as though they were my own. While being a stay at home with my two littles, I have lots of time to play, watch, walk, and more. We are always happy to share our home or let your family run around the fenced in backyard. We have a small kitten that is half in and half outside so we can always accommodate. There is a great walking path for us or running around in the backyard.
“Rhonda is so thoughtful and attentive and really put our minds at ease while we were out of town! Our two cats adored her, even our shy tabby, which made being gone that much easier. Definitely recommend booking with Rhonda!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets around my whole life. Dogs and cats specifically but fish and reptiles too! I even have a gecko of my own. With my years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I can provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your pets too! I have a very free schedule at the moment due to taking time off of school. I am available weekdays and weekends, mostly afternoon and night. Some morning availability. I make sure to focus on patience when working with new pets to ensure they are comfortable with me in their environment. I treat each home with respect and communicate clearly with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs (and cats) since I was 8 years old. Growing up we had a husky, a yellow lab, Australian shepherd and poodle. and Nothing makes me happier than coming home to happy dogs looking for some loving and attention. Most importantly, I come from a well-behaved and very polite family who has taught me to be considerate for other people and their property. I will be a reliable and respectful house guest and will clean up after myself and pets. Currently only working part time so I’ll have a more flexible schedule and will be able adjust accordingly if plans need to change on the fly I’m happy to spend time inside with your dog to create some comfort with them before taking them out for a walk. Getting on their level and playing a bit usually helps them warm up to me
“Alexandra was wonderful! She was very attentive and communicative and was flexible when my little guy needed to start a medication at the last minute. Would definitely ask her again!”
“We were very happy with how Camryn took care of our cat. She was very communicative with how our cat, Benny, was doing and when he was stressed and left a hairball, she was very good with cleaning everything up. We would definitely book Camryn again if we needed a sitter.”
About: I treat every furry friend like family. I provide care for friends of all ages, from littles to seniors, with the same love I'd give my own. I am available whenever your friends need me because my schedule is completely open. I have the flexibility to prioritize their specific routines every single day. I provide care in your home by following your specific routine and treating your friends like family. I offer walks, feeding, and plenty of love.
About: We’re experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, medication, or a closely followed routines. What sets us apart, though, is how we care. We’re calm, observant, detail-oriented, and very comfortable following the little routines that make your pets feel secure. We notice if appetite is different, when a walk needs to be shorter, when the shy cat would rather make the first move, or when an animal companion simply needs a little more company that day. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine and is something we plan around with intention. We keep our schedule flexible so we can give each pet the time, attention, exercise, companionship, and supervision they actually need, without rushing through care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat both the animal and the home with a high level of care, respect, and discretion. We take time to understand each pet’s normal routine, temperament, boundaries, and environment so we can recognize what is typical for them and respond thoughtfully if something changes. For walks and visits, safety comes first. We pay close attention to weather, surroundings, energy levels, other animals, and any individual sensitivities or triggers. We follow the household’s established preferences while also using experienced judgment when conditions call for an adjustment. We are careful with home access, doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications provided by the owner, and any special household protocols. We also believe trust means keeping clients informed without making them feel like they need to manage us from afar. Our goal is simple: your pet should feel secure, understood, and well cared for, and you should feel confident knowing both your pet and your home are in responsible hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
Olivia was wonderful! I could tell right away that she took great care of my boys and kept everything so clean. I know my cats can make quite a mess around their food and litter every day, so coming home to those areas spotless was such a nice surprise! She was very punctual, and I loved receiving their little daily report cards and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely hire Olivia again!
Jenna was absolutely wonderful! This was my second time booking her, and she took such great care of my three cats for three weeks while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She sent me lots of pictures and updates every day, which I loved, and it was obvious from the photos that my kitties were happy, comfortable, and really enjoyed their time with her. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring—even giving them brushies, Churus, and some outdoor patio time. 🥰 It meant so much to me to be able to enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I’m so grateful to Jenna and will absolutely continue booking her whenever I need a sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies! ❤️🐾
Mary is a wonderful choice for a pet sitter. She took great care of my senior cat. My cat is usually pretty shy, but she instantly warmed up to Mary, and I received several lovely photos of my cat playing and getting some loving attention. I look forward to rebooking with Mary, and I would recommend her to anyone!
Absolutely fantastic drop in sitter for my cat. 100% recommend & she will remain my #1 choice when I go out of town. Her professionalism was my first impression. When she came to my apartment to get the key and meet my cat, she brought a notebook to keep track of all the info she needed to remember. My cat also decided it would be "funny" to play a game of hide & seek in my house while I was away. Victoria genuinely cared enough to check everywhere (including with neighbors) & even changed her schedule to find her just in case my cat had become lost outdoors. She notified me quickly about the situation and was fully transparent about what had happened. (Thankfully, my girl eventually came out of hiding when her name was called!) There are not enough genuine and trustworthy people in the world whom you could trust with your beloved pet but Victoria certainly is one of them!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in San Luis Rey is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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.

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.

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.
