About: I have always been around animals, whether that is cats or dogs. I enjoy house sitting and would love to help anyone that needs a sitter/ walker! I also enjoy helping around the house so feel free to ask me! I currently am working part time so I have plenty of available time. I am free every night, and can work in other times that are needed. I have a fenced yard and an extra crate to keep your pet safe. I have one friendly dog that loves to have company around.

Faith is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and took an extra day due to unforeseen circumstances. Faith was reliable, dependable and super friendly with my neighbors, when walking her. Definitely the pet sitter for you.

Joshuah has visited our cat several times and is always great with communication and photos, and spends a lot of time just letting our old cat sit on his lap. Very thankful!

Coral did a great job taking care of my elderly dog and took pictures and video to make sure I knew she was being taken care of. She even sat and brushed her for a while- great work!

About: I have my own doggie, whom I love very much. I am also the go to pet-sitter in my family, and have lots of experience feeding, walking, and caring for other peoples dogs. I would love to meet your furry friends and give them some love! I have a good deal of availability right now, so I will be free any day of the week as long as I have advance notice! I know it can be scary to put someone else in charge of your furry friend. Believe me, I am scared everytime I drop my dog off with someone else. I will always ensure that dogs are treated with the utmost sense of safety and responsibility!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and taken care of my own, my friends and families dogs while they were away. I am very comfortable around all breeds of dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. I’ve potty trained puppies and taught older untrained dogs how to sit, and I give my dogs a lot of attention and love! I would love to take them to the park to play with other dogs or just a walk around the neighborhood if they’re not as outgoing. I also have experience with administering oral medication and bathing dogs afraid of water, so let me know what accommodations your dog needs. I’m currently working part time for the summer at Cal Poly, and have a catering gig some weekends. I’m available to feed pets multiple times a day, take them on walks mid day/evenings, and keep company overnight. I have a small, fenced yard for pets to stretch out and get sun, and I live right next to Sant Rosa park which is perfect for walking. I’m also available for drop ins at clients homes late night and early morning, although I would prefer not to do overnights.

About: I’ve had experience caring for large dogs my whole life and currently handle most of the day-to-day care for my own dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, and keeping dogs happy and well-behaved. I’ve also been pet sitting since high school, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is how attentive and hands-on I am. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially confident with bigger dogs and can adapt to each dog’s routine, whether that means active playtime or a calmer, more relaxed environment. Until early June, I have school and work during the week, along with some busy weekends, but I’m still available for pet care with enough notice and can work around my schedule. Starting in the summer, I’ll have a much more open and flexible schedule and am looking to take on more pet sitting opportunities. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also make time for calmer moments, like relaxing and giving pets the affection and companionship they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel at ease, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

I make sure to give the dog space until they are ready to approach me considering I am entering their space. I make sure to read their body language to get a feel of what the dog is looking for.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and over four years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, I offer a level of care that goes far beyond the basics. Having grown up with dogs since the age of three, looking after pets isn't just a job for me, it's a second nature built on a lifetime of hands-on experience. Over the past four years, I have successfully cared for a diverse range of pets for both family friends and a some regular clients. What truly sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine joy and deep empathy I bring to every visit. I don't just check the boxes of feeding and walking; I focus on building a real bond with your pets, understanding their unique personalities, and treating them with the same unconditional love and attentiveness that I give my own. Honestly, pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine because I have pets of my own. I'm completely used to the responsibility and love doing it. I work during the day, but I’m always up for morning and afternoon dog walks. Since I genuinely love animals, those walks are usually the best parts of my day anyway. It never feels like a chore to me, so you can count on me to give them plenty of love and attention! When I’m pet sitting, I make sure their normal routine doesn’t miss a beat. I'm super on top of timed meals, getting them out for good walks, and sending you daily updates so you know everything is running smoothly. Plus, I always make sure to give them tons of love and keep them entertained so they don't miss you too much. If you just need dog walking, I'm down for whatever your pup needs—I can handle any age, whether they want a slow, easy stroll or a fast run to burn off some energy. And for drop-in visits, I just love popping in to play with them and give them plenty of affection to break up their day. No matter the service, my main goal is just to keep your pets happy, safe, and tired out!

About: I have hands-on pet care experience for two dogs, a Rottweiler and a pit bull mix, at home and volunteering 3 years caring for adoptable dogs for Animal Rescue Recon including daily feeding, walking, and clean up with varying temperaments, energy levels, and needs. As a full-time student at Cal Poly, my schedule allows me to be available Friday through Sunday to dedicate my time to feeding, walking, playtime, and providing reliable care for dogs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide timely feeding, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor each pets’ behavior, follow any specific instructions, cleanliness, and clear communication with pet owners.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Santa Margarita

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Santa Margarita on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 352 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Santa Margarita. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.

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.
