About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space.

“Kiana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Sumo! She kept us updated throughout the entire time and even helped clean him when he got poop on his butt. We really appreciate that she went above and beyond for our dog. We couldn't be happier, thank you Kiana! 😊”
“I always rest easy when we go out of town knowing we have Liseth coming in to take care of our kitties. We love to see her communications and how she’s actually able to coax out our shyest kitty. They mean the world to us and Liseth is always so sweet with them. Liseth is the best!!!!!”
“Rosemarie met and exceeded my expectations for pet services. She communicated daily with photos of Okie and Blackie as well as their report cards. I would highly recommend her for your pet services needs.”
About: I have had pets all my life and also have experience with many kinds of pets. I have cared for dogs and cats and also have experience with rabbits and turtles, I am also willing to prep for any other kinds of animals too. I have been sitting and walking dogs professionally for about 2 years but have helped others with their pets for many more years. I have experience with dogs who need medication and energetic ones too, I am here to help with whatever your pet might need of me. I look forward to assisting you and your pet! My part-time job doesn’t have a fixed schedule but typically I get scheduled in the evening. I am happy to assist anytime I am not busy or working, and I am also fine with overnight stays or late night walks. Currently I do not offer pet boarding at my home, but I am more than happy to care for your pets at your home and offer reliable and trustworthy assistance.
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’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.
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our Cat, Jasper. Would absolutely recommend her. She is very kind and attentive to Jaspers needs. Was so happy to be able to leave him in good hands to go on vacation!”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat, Momo. Always on time and sent pictures throughout. Finding a new sitter after moving can be a little worrying but Jennifer was super kind and personable which eased any concerns. Will be rebooking soon. Thank you!”
“Chelsea took wonderful care of my cat and was reliable, attentive, and kind throughout the whole stay. She made me feel comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands, and I truly appreciated her care and communication. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her. If you want, I can make it warmer, more personal, or even shorter for Rover.”
About: I myself own two dogs who I would die for so I know how important pets are to somebody. They are family and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I work with kids at the moment at a school so I'm use to looking after someone. I just want a extra income on my weekends. I am bilingual very trust worthy. I can honestly say I care more about others than myself I tend to help others and always try to go out of my way. I hope to look after your pet and provide love & attention whenever I'm with your pet. I will Never leave pet unattended that's a promise. I hope you give me a chance to pet sit. Thank you very much. I recently started dog boarding and pop ups for people on vacation, I brought my cousin who is also a verified walker for meet and greets it’s become a partnership we been doing well. I try my best to work whenever I can usually weekends anytime and weekdays after my job. I get off work weekdays at 6pm. So anytime after 7 weekdays holidays I’m free all day. I don’t mind the number of clients or pets I care for. It depends on the size for me. Besides that I prefer little dogs but I’m able to manage any size
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had a major soft spot for animals big and small. I am the designated pet sitter for all of my friends and family, and have experience with everything from hamsters to newfoundlands. I’ve taken care of senior dogs, puppies, and am able to administer medications if necessary. As a dog owner myself, I understand the pressure of finding a good sitter and I would love to give you peace of mind! I am currently working events part time, and I pick my own schedule, so I have most days available for around the clock care. If I do leave the house it is generally only for short periods for appointments or quick outings. I am very present for the animals I care for and will spend time with them as well as feeding, walking, and playing with them. I’ve had sitters in the past for my own dogs who only came briefly for feeding and left, so I value quality time and understand they need more than the bare minimum.
“Nihcole is very sweet and made me feel that my cat, Willow, was going to be well cared for in my absence. Willow ran right up to her and sniffed her during our meet and greet, so she felt safe around her. Nihcole also sent some fantastic photos during each visit - I looked forward to receiving them! I would definitely rebook with her and would recommend her for any other cat moms out there. ?”
“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. I couldn't have asked for anything more at this moment.”
“Raman took great care of Bella! She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt confident that my cat was in great hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clarita
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%
Accommodated a last minute request for help with kindness and professionalism. She was flexible in working with our tight schedules and met every request with exceptional care. I really appreciated her detailed check in reports with numerous pictures of our cat. It helped relieve my anxiety about our cat staying hidden and isolated rather than interacting. Will definitely ask for her again in the future, and highly recommend to others!
Erin is so attentive and caring! I absolutely hate leaving our baby girl behind. She hates being alone, plus she breaks out of her onesie that covers a wound. We are so grateful for Erin sending photos and messaging us the whole way through. She knew how important it was to me to get that peace of mind. She’s amazing!
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.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Santa Clarita is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $39 per visit.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
