About: A lifelong animal lover with a passion for creating nurturing, safe, and joy-filled experiences for your furry companions. With a background in holistic wellness, conscious event facilitation, child support work, home and plant stewardship, and executive assisting, I bring a high level of attunement, reliability, and heart to all my pet-sitting adventures. Whether tending to a cozy home or spending quality time with your pet, I show up with presence, warmth, playfulness, and genuine love. I’ve always been drawn to animals for their unconditional love and vibrant spirits, and I make it my mission to ensure they feel just as seen, loved, and secure when you’re away. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and energy levels—from energetic pups who need long walks to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. My intuitive, calm approach helps create a grounded and trusting environment. I also know how to adapt and attune to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s a midday walk to shake off some zoomies or a calming, sound-bath-like experience for an anxious pet, I tailor my care accordingly. Safety and communication are always a priority—you’ll receive heartfelt updates and thoughtful check-ins along the way. Rest assured, your beloved pets will be treated like family. I’m genuinely excited to meet your furry loved ones and share some sweet, soul-nourishing adventures together. I also offer experienced house-sitting and plant care services, so if you’re ever in need of in-home support, I’d be happy to help. I balance my schedule to make sure pets get the attention and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks or evening cuddles, I prioritize their routines while still having flexibility in my day. Caring for animals is a rewarding part of my week, and I love making it a special experience for them. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, fun environment where they feel safe and loved. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything running smoothly, following feeding schedules, playing, or snuggling as needed. I ensure every pet feels comfortable and at ease, making them my top priority.

About: Taking care of dogs has always been a big part of my life since I was young. I grew up with both dogs and cats, but mostly dogs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide patience, love, and reliable care. I try to treat every dog as if they were my own because that’s how I’d want mine to be treated. My family and I find comfort in taking in pets that have had a rough start because they deserve to feel cared for as well. This has allowed me to be able to experience a variety of fur babies with different personalities. I’m currently working part-time and going to school online full-time, so I’m home most of the time anyways. I usually work early mornings and am off before 3. My job is very flexible when it comes to scheduling, so I can work around dog-sitting if needed. When caring for pets in client’s homes I’ll make sure I abide by their rules and make sure their pets aren’t getting into places they shouldn’t. I’ll provide plenty of playtime if needed and build that sense of trust with each and everyone of ur fur babies!

“Alexis did a phenomenal job of caring for my two cats. She was accommodating of everything I asked and took great care of them. She sent plenty of updates each day to keep me posted on the status of their health and what silly shenanigans they got into. My house was as I left it, it was like I wasn't even gone. What a pleasure to work with her. I will definitely book her again in the future.”

Every animals is different with their feeding routine, exercise, temperament, I do my absolute best to ensure that all their needs are met the same way you do it to ensure you and your pet feel comfortable.

My goal is to treat your loved one with the care and affection they deserve so that you know you made that right choice. I am a full time college student and have a part-time job. I’m available all day Tuesday and the weekend as well as the afternoon for Monday and Wednesday - Friday I have much experience taking care of pets in their own home and meeting their specific needs whether that be multiple medications in the morning and evening, making their food with some extra steps, or even making a mini fort for them before I leave the home to make them feel comfortable! I currently live with a slightly reactive dog so for the safety of everyone involved I do not board animals in my home.

About: Full-time 🎉 Home All Day Hi! My name is Noemi. I grew up in a family oriented household with a family that loves animals. I’ve been taking care of them since I was 9! We’ve had dogs, pigs, reptiles, cats, ducks! They were a great way to learn responsibility. I have always brought in rescues providing them with great homes before sending them off to a forever home🤍! I have volunteered at Animal shelters to show my love unconditionally to dogs, cats, bunnies or reptiles! I have a large passion for my furry friends! I have a lot of experience with animals that have suffered with separation anxiety and medical issues. Volunteering at the animal shelters has provided me with great experience professionally and personally. I understand our furry loved ones usually have certain routines to go by. I am very accepting to different family routines! So please feel free to communicate that with me if your furry baby has a specific routine. Momentarily, I only have two dogs and a cat named nimbus! They get along great with other dogs or cats! If you would like me to keep your furry baby separate I can also provide that. My house is larger and I can keep animals separated inside the home or outside what your preference is. I am a very caring and generous person that is very loving and compassionate. I love to go above and beyond for animals especially making them feel warm and happy. IM ALWAYS AVAILABLE ☺️I currently work full time with dogs and my clients and run a doggie day care 😊 I'm always willing to accommodate with my clients schedule and what is needed :) My home has a brick wall around the yard it’s very large and tall ! I have a free space to keep your baby safe and for them to have fun! If your baby needs a crate provided I can do that as well! Any requests provided just keep me informed!

“We had an absolutely incredible experience with Sage, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly a bit nervous going in. Our cat, Lily, is very old and can be a little grouchy and skittish around new people, which added to our concern. From the very beginning, Sage put all of those worries at ease. To our amazement, Lily warmed up to her very quickly, something we’ve rarely seen. Her professionalism and communication were outstanding. She kept us consistently updated (daily photos and FaceTime on request), which made being away so much easier, and it was clear in every message how much she genuinely cared. Sage has an intuitive understanding of cats that’s hard to put into words… she truly is a cat whisperer. On top of that, Sage took wonderful care of our home while housesitting for over a week. We didn’t know what to expect having someone stay in our house for that long, but she was incredibly respectful and left everything in perfect condition. It felt like our home was in thoughtful, capable hands the entire time. Sage didn’t just meet our expectations, she blew them away. We would trust her again without hesitation.”

“Had a last minute trip and Lea was able to step in quickly to take care of my cats. The cats have very annoying and picky eating habits and medications, but she was able to manage both of them and get them to eat, and get them to take their meds without a hitch. She played with them a lot, sent great pics, and the cats both seemed very content and happy upon return.”

About: I really worked with animals my whole life I was known in my small Midwestern town as the crazy animal lady who would take care of hurt wild animals or when I was a kid would beg you to let me watch your dog or take them on a walk or give them a bath, though they were like three times my size I have a senior rescue dog who was called aggressive but is now my little love bug. I worked with all sorts of rescued animals at an animal science summer camp I went to for seven years. I also worked at a veterinary clinic and I am in school to hopefully eventually become a veterinarian. I love animals so incredibly much that I actually became vegan. I’ve worked with many unique cases which makes me qualified for unprecedented situations, which we all know animals can get you in unpredictable scenarios.?I’m good under pressure and I am a quick thinker and like I said I’ll take care of your pet the same way I care for mine! I’m serious when I say I’ve rescued stray cats to actually rehabilitating a raccoon at one point (don’t tell the authorities) I really dedicate my life to learning and loving animals, and I really couldn’t think of a better job to have while I’m in school:) I also just moved here so that’s why I’m using the app! I currently have one senior dog who I care for everyday! I’m completely free besides that to care for your pets! I do feedings to walking and if you guys need it, I can give medications! Since I have him, I can’t stay over night every day, but I can do every other night! I can feed and do really whatever you guys need I’m super versatile and an easy learner (I really have worked with every scenario though) I’m gentle and always cautious when meeting new animals, I will always treat your home with respect and will make sure everything I do is cleaned up and exactly how you want it to be

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Flor pet sitting for us. She took such great care of both our bunny and our cat while we were away. Not only did she make sure they were well-fed and comfortable, but she also spent quality time playing with them, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of the things we appreciated most was her consistent communication, she sent photos during every visit, and it was so reassuring to see our pets happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came home to two very content pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Santa Paula

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Santa Paula is $15 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 1,385 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Santa Paula. 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 .

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 .

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 , 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.

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.
