About: Hi! I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter with 8 years of experience providing dependable, loving care for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior dogs who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I make it a priority to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether that means walks and playtime, feeding and medication routines, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to give your pets the personalized care they deserve. Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! My goal is to make your time away easier by giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently work as a nanny, so I am free anytime during the week except for 11-6 Monday thru Friday. Saturdays & Sundays are fully open & available! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime schedule as closely as possible so they feel safe and at ease in their familiar environment. I give plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens who need extra supervision, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace, additional patience, or special care. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I keep things clean and tidy, make sure pets have fresh food and water, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away.

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. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.

“Keleigh did drop in visits with out cat Niko. She texted us multiple pictures every day, some of which Niko was actually sitting on her lap, completely content! That made me smile! She also texted how he was doing, filling water bowl and let us know status on all his surroundings. I would definitely use her services again! Thanks Keleigh!”

About: I truly love animals, and animals naturally love me back. I live in a spacious home with a large, secure backyard — everything is fully fenced with a tall gate, so your pup will always be safe. I work from home and stay here all day, which means pets are never left alone and always get plenty of attention. Our neighborhood is very quiet, with cul-de-sac streets and no through traffic, making walks calm and stress-free. Just ten steps from my home there is a big, safe park where many friendly dogs love to play. Pets in my care enjoy plenty of space indoors and outdoors, peaceful surroundings, and most importantly — lots of love, comfort, and attention every single day. I work from home full-time, so I am always around to give your pets attention, care, and love throughout the entire day. This makes it easy for me to keep a consistent routine with feeding, walks, and playtime. Your pup will never be left alone and will always feel safe and cared for. I live in a spacious home with a fully fenced backyard and a tall gate to keep pets safe at all times. Our neighborhood is quiet, with cul-de-sac streets and no through traffic, which makes it perfect for calm walks. Just steps away there is a large safe park where many friendly dogs play.

About: I love dogs and have been around them all of my life. I am always taking care of or sitting for my friends or families dogs.

I can make frequent drop-in visits to ensure your pet is comfortable, cared for and happy. Your pets will never be left unsupervised and they will always receive lots of cuddles and playtime. You will always receive updates, pictures and videos of your baby at all times. Your dog will always be cared for.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I'm truly passionate about. To me, pets aren't just pets; they're family. I'm a lifelong pet owner and currently have two girl dogs, a Yorkie-Terrier-Chihuahua and a Yorkie-Shih Tzu, along with three boy cats: one gray-and-black tabby and two orange tabbies. I've also spent the past 2 years pet-sitting for friends and family, caring for their pets as I would my own. One thing that sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attention I devote to every animal in my care. I've had hands-on experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering insulin injections to my diabetic, senior Bichon-Poodle and providing medication to my rescued shelter cats for various conditions, including urinary infections, conjunctivitis, and parasites. Caring for rescued animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and carefully following each pet's individual care instructions. I'm very attentive to feeding schedules, daily routines, and individual needs, and I understand how important consistency is for an animal's comfort and well-being. I follow structured feeding routines with my own cats and dogs, and I'd be more than happy to maintain your pet's usual schedule. I want every animal I look after to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pets with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, medication, or simply keeping them company, I'll treat your pets with the same love, dedication, and attention I give my own! As a recent college graduate currently studying for my California real estate exam, I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm home frequently and am able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I provide attentive, loving, and personalized care for pets in their own homes, where they can feel comfortable and stick to their usual routines. I'm happy to do drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, cuddles, and administering medications as needed. I'm also available for overnight stays or house-sitting, so your pets have company and care throughout the day and night while you're away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always follow your instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs patience, or simply wants some extra love and company, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and at ease while you're away.

About: Nothing has moved me more than helping people. I’ve always said to myself if I can, I will. I have 5 dogs myself, 4 Yorkies and 1 German Shepherd. I will admit it’s not the smoothest, but I remind myself how much of a blessing pets can be in our life, and the unconditional love they give that should be reciprocated. I’m starting this new experience off with an open mind and open heart. As for houses, I’ve been raised to keep any space, regardless of whose house or area it is, organized and welcoming. Maintenance is one of the key components to keeping a house cozy, and what better way to help than to keep that coziness for the owners to come home to? For both services I offer routine check ups, housekeeping, and any other accommodations by reaching out! Please contact me for dates and times, thank you. :) I am currently working part time, and in school. I completely understand how that schedule may be intimidating for pet parents, but have no fear! Here is my weekly schedule! Monday: Available 3:00-5:00p.m., overnight sitting/check ins after 9:30p.m.! Wednesday: Available after 5:30p.m. for check ins! Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: Available from 6:00-9:00a.m. (evening times may vary, message for more details) Saturday, Sunday: Overnight sitting/check ins past 10:30p.m.! With the amount of pets I have in my house, I have been able to figure out and create a safe space for them, body language speaks volumes! In addition to that, understanding and respecting a dogs boundaries is very crucial to building trust, on top of them associating being fed and attended to with me. When it comes to homes, I want to be as flexible as possible when it comes to accommodations, housekeeping, etc. since your space deserves to be cared for how you feel is best!

About: I’m an animal communicator with a deep, intuitive connection to animals — I don’t just care for your pets, I actually listen to them. I’ve spent my life alongside dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and needs, including my own two girls, Daisy and Chloe. I understand animal behavior, body language, and emotional wellbeing on a level that goes beyond feeding and walks. Senior pets, anxious dogs, and strong-willed characters are my specialty. Your fur family will be safe, seen, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full time through mid-September, making this a great time to book! After that I take on seasonal evening work Thursday through Sunday, so I’m still available for daytime care and drop-ins year round. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so you can plan with confidence. My home is warm, relaxed, and animal-friendly with a fenced yard. We did hospice for a number of dogs and cats from 2014 to 2025, so we installed Life Proof floors and have furniture to accommodate the older ones. My two dogs, Daisy and Chloe, are social, dog-park regulars who welcome new friends easily. I have crates available for large dogs if needed.

About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember! Love meeting all of them and can't wait to meet your little bud! I make my own schedule, so for the most part I'm available when needed (with proper planning for longer visits of course.) Feel free to reach out when you need a hand! My pup is on pretty good schedule, so I'm know the importance of keeping those scheduled feedings and/or outside time. If we need walks, someone to throw a ball to get the zoomies out or just someone to hang with so they're not alone all day I'm in!

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Santa Clarita

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Santa Clarita on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 14,024 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Santa Clarita. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Santa Clarita stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Clarita. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
