About: I love to care for animals and over the years I’ve enjoyed looking after dogs, cats, chickens- even pigs! Getting to know each pet’s unique personality is one of my favorite parts of the job. I believe every animal deserves care that is detailed to their needs & I’ll work with you to create a routine that feels familiar, fun and safe. Whether you’re away for the day, at work or on vacation, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pets getting lots of love attention and care - just like at home. I’m at home during all dog sitting. I live in a safe, walkable area near a grassy park. I can travel to you for care, exercise and walking. Fenced yard, sun and shade, doggy pool, time for walks, play, napping. My pooch has seizures, so I have dealt with this quite a bit. Can administer medicines as well.

About: Hi there! My name is Katelyn and I have over 10 years of experience as a house and pet sitter for family, friends and community members. I’ve also had experience volunteering at the Sonoma County Humane Society to help exercise and socialize with the shelter's animals. I live in Healdsburg where I work remotely, which allows for a flexible schedule! I work remotely in Healdsburg, which allows me to be flexible. I typically take walks before work or during my lunch hour, and I’d love to take your pup with me! You can trust that I will listen to any concerns or needs about your pet, and treat them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my highest priority.

About: Since I was a child I have taken care of the family dog. They are like family to me. I have worked at a dog spa since May of 2025 so that I have experience on handling dogs. I can bathe your dogs and brush them but not groom them. I love animals like family. I also take care of my sister’s golden retriever when she’s away on trips. I work Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-6:15pm so on my work days I can house sit your pets, take them for walks and take care of them after work and my days off I’m available anytime. I have a cat at home who is spoiled. Every day she gets groomed, loved and cuddled with. She couldn’t be more happier. I even have a filtered water fountain for my car to drink out of I clean every two weeks. I enjoy cleaning her food bowl every morning and give her dental treats to make her gums and teeth healthy. When it comes to clients pets I’d do the same as if they were my own pet very loved and spoiled. When I had my family dog she was very loved and spoiled as well. Every day do walk her, brush her, feed her and cuddle with her making the happiest dog she can be. All animals I treat equally.

About: Hi, I’m Casey—a trustworthy, full-service house and pet sitter with experience caring for just about every kind of animal you can think of. From playful pups of all breeds and sizes to cats, chickens, bunnies, and more—I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed, keeping routines consistent, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled (in the best way). What sets me apart? I bring a fun, caring energy into every home I step into. I’ll play when they want to play, snuggle when they want to snuggle, and give them space when they need it. I adapt to each animal’s unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy bonding with them. I also offer full-service house sitting: plant watering, mail collection, trash/recycling, light gardening—you name it. I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. Whether you’re gone for a weekend or a few weeks, I’ll make sure everything is just how you left it—and your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Let’s chat! I work full time: Monday-Friday. I’m at work from 8:30-5pm. Your pet will need to be able to be left at home for extended periods until i’m off work. Once I’m off, I can spend time with your pet all night and morning for walks and attention! Whether I’m feeding, walking or playing, I follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I spend quality time with them so they’re not just cared for—they feel loved and relaxed in your absence.

About: I am a dog mom of four boys: Neville, Perrin, Duke, and Reggie. I have watched dogs/cats/rodents/fish for family/friends for years of all ages and sizes. I love spending time with animals, and look forward to going out on walks/hikes, or to the park to throw a ball around. I am a GIS Analyst who loves the outdoors, animals, exercise, and laughing. I even have a tattoo that says "All I want is to pet all of the dogs"! I have experience with dog walking, and sitting both in my own home and staying at the pet's homes. I'd love the opportunity to let your pooch stretch their legs and get some play time in while their person(s) are unavailable. I work from home, love going on multiples outings each day, and fully believe that everything is better with a pet with you to enjoy it as well! I have a fenced yard, live in a fairly quiet neighborhood, and have four dogs of my own. In my own home, I will treat all dogs as my own. In a clients home I will ensure I treat all Areas with respect. In both scenarios I will follow all guidelines and instructions set by the client.

Brianna took great care of Tabi. Her attention to detail for the feeding schedule and playtime made me relax and enjoy my trip. This was a good test to see if Tabi could handle drop in visits for longer than two days. This success will allow me to take more trips.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Simi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Simi is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $44 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 839 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Simi. 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 Simi. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
