“Tami is a wonderful sitter! Our pup Shadow is skittish with new people, but she’s patient, calm, and comfortable with him. Communication is easy and frequent - we really appreciate her and will absolutely keep using her services.”

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: I have Maaaaaaaany years of pet loving and experience. I have had probably over 100 pets in my lifetime and know how to deal with all types of personalities and circumstances. My fur baby now has diabetes and he is treated like the king he is. ❤️ I am home by 4 every weekday and have weekends open. Very flexible schedule. I believe a consistent routine for pets is what keeps them happy and healthy. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I make sure they keep on the same schedule they would if their fur parents were home. Consistency equals comfort.

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. Pets enjoy both indoor comfort and outdoor freedom, always in a safe and loving environment.

About: Hi my name is Rebecca 🙂 My husband and I currently have two indoor house cats, Ruby and Flora. I previously worked through Rover and have recently reactivated my services. I work from home so I have flexible availability to check in on your kitties in the for feeds and pets. Just let me know what would work best for you! I am not currently sitting pets in my own home. I am always accommodating to kitties in their own home and will always do my best to make them feel comfortable and cared for. One of my current cats is skiddish around strangers so I am very understanding when it comes to shy kitties.

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 understand how difficult it is to entrust your dog in somebody else’s care, and I would take care of your fur baby the exact same way you would take care of them. I am available full-time to taking care of your pets. I am available for walks and drop-in visits in your home. 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.

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: 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!

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: I grew up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and even a few ducks! Over the years I have taken care many of my friends’/families’ pets and have yet to encounter one that I could not handle. My love for animals stems back to when I was just a kid and I’m happy to say that it has only grown stronger since. I just moved back home from college and work part time as a server (about 20ish hours a week) and have a lot of free time! I like to treat all pets just as I would treat my own: with utmost respect and kindness. If you saw any of my pets now you would see just how spoiled and loved they all are. I promise to provide your best friends with the same care.

“We were so nervous leaving our cat, Bhumi, alone for the first time, but as soon as Liseth sent us her first update, we felt so much better knowing she was in good hands. We received the sweetest photos of our cat and got solid updates after ever visit so that we knew Bhumi was doing okay. We asked Liseth to feed Bhumi, clean her litter box, and play with her. Liseth did all of thy and more - it was clear from photos and videos that she gave our cat a lot of love and affection while we were away. After four days away, we came home to a clean house and a happy, well-fed cat. We're so grateful for Liseth's care and would definitely ask her to care for Bhumi again.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies who are still learning routines to sweet senior dogs who need patience and gentle care, I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very attentive, calm, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every dog I care for. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which means I can provide consistent, reliable care any day of the week. I enjoy structuring my days around pets—making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to adapt to each dog’s routine and give them plenty of time, love, and supervision. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide calm, loving, and reliable care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Santa Clarita

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Santa Clarita is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $50 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 14,011 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Santa Clarita. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
