About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
“Sara was so great! I got text updates during her visit and she took the time to make sure my dogs got good walks, good treats and were comfortable/settled in before leaving. When I came home they were tired and so content from awesome quality time with Sara. I am so thankful I found Sara and will definitely be using her again!”
“Jeff is the dog whisperer! He was genuinely attentive and in tune with my dog. She was so happy and relaxed after spending time with him. It’s such a relief to have found a reliable, kind, and communicative pet sitter I can trust!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since a young age, regularly helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting and dog walking. I also gained experience working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in Sacramento, where I provided reliable, attentive care for approximately one year. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue my college education, I brought that same dedication and passion for animal care with me. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, so I have plenty of free time to check in for a potty break or to take your pup on a nice long walk. I am free during the week after 10am and can be available for most weekends. I always want to make sure that the pet feels the most comfortable in their own home. Whether they are excited to see me or may be more hesitant, I always stay patient and meet them where they are at.
“My rescue dog struggles with trusting people and when I contacted Emily about it she was so nice and gentle about her approach to meeting Shae. Ever since the meet and greet she was patient and loving and my dog ended up warming up to her in just a couple of visits. It is really hard to find someone who is truly caring and understanding of fearful dogs. She was also very accommodating to our needs, Thank you, Emily!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have always considered my pets part of the family. When your pet stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own fur babies. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes—I have a 12-pound Chiweenie and a 180 pound Great Dane—and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, comfort level, and routine. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or a little extra patience while adjusting to a new environment, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I also have a cat who enjoys having her own space and is comfortable around dogs. Our home is calm, friendly, and welcoming to both canine and feline guests. Your pet will enjoy a safe, spacious home with a secure concrete backyard and plenty of room to relax, play, and explore. My goal is to make every stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐶😻 I work from home and am around all day to let the dogs into the backyard, as well as attend to any car needs they may have! I take serious consideration into the safety and care of the animals in my home! I have extra rooms with nice windows and ventilation in case your animal needs privacy and am around all day to allow them in and outside as you see fit!
“We’re so grateful to have found Meghan! She watched our dog for a week, and we came home to a happy dog! She sent detailed updates each visit, played fetch with him, gave treats & made sure he was happy before leaving each visit! We have already booked her for our next trip!!”
“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up always having them as part of my family. My current dog is 11 years old, and I’ve cared for her ever since she was just 4 months old. Four years later, I welcomed another dog into my life, which taught me even more about balancing different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Overall, I have a lot of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and animals have always naturally gravitated towards me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student in clinical rotations, which currently allows me to offer check ins and walks in the early mornings and afternoons. I am available for boarding on weekends, and can provide attentive, consistent care during those times. When caring for pets in their own home, I will prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining their normal routine. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, and house routes. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.
“Jessi is amazing! She is willing to go beyond what is asked of her, she loves our dog, he loves her, and she sends us updates and pictures during her visit! We are so grateful to have her!”
About: 🥰 Now retired from Corporate America- I finally get to do what I love!! If you’re looking for Quality, Responsible and Experienced care for your pets- look no further! I have 45+ years experience with dogs, cats and horses. 🐴 🐈 🐶 Prior Volunteer @Agoura Animal Shelter I’ve been in love with pets since I was born. I’ve had many dogs over the years. I was raised with Dobermans, and had 2 of my own as an adult, in addition to a German Shepherd, Husky, Lab mix, 2 Min Pins and now, a Terrier/mix rescued from the meat trade in So. Korea. I’ve had one or more cats at a time since the day I was born (feral), and at one point, we rescued a pregnant kitty that had 4 kittens, which we kept and all lived long and cherished lives. My last kitty, “Little Girl”, was found by the grooms at the barn @ 3 weeks old. She was so wild, that she chewed the nipple off the bottle, and the Vet said it would never work! She recently passed at 19 years old, from CKD/Hyperthyroidism, which we both valiantly fought for 4 yrs. She was my soul cat- that I will miss for the rest of my life.💔 I’m an Equestrian- Horses are my passion! I’ve competed and owned horses for over 30 years, and have extensive knowledge of their care. I’m Insured and Pet 1st Aid/CPR Certified. I have experience medicating pets (ie:cats with Hyperthyroidism/CKD, etc dogs with pancreatitis, etc). Specialize in Senior pets. I know what it’s like to have to leave your beloved fur-babies home, especially if they aren’t feeling well! Whether they’re in tip top health, or in need of a little extra attention due to a medical condition, You can rest assured, that they will have the best care! I’m home full time now, and so available to meet the commitment and responsibilities of caring for your special fur-babies. Because feeding/walking and playing take time and attention- and every pet has its own unique and individual needs, sometimes they just need a little extra love and companionship❤️ Safety is my #1 priority! I will always ensure that your pets are safe, your home is secure and there is nothing within reach that could cause them harm. Additionally, walks are always done considering the environment, other pets and their proximity to your pet and the demeanor of both. No risks are ever taken.
About: I have had around thirteen years of cat care experience, having owned four cats, a tarantula, and a snake throughout my entire life, and currently volunteer at an animal shelter. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn how to take care of cats and their body languages, so I am very experienced with knowing when to back off or if a cat wants love or pets; I also know what to look out for to prevent cat fights from happening or how to break one up. Although most of my experience is in cats, I am always open to learning new things or how to take care of dogs, and I am always willing to walk your dog or house sit for them because I am someone who loves animals and will never shy away from a chance to meet them! I am still a student right now, so I am only free in the afternoons and evenings during the weekdays, but I am totally free on weekends (minus 2-5 PM on Saturdays where I volunteer). I am also looking to get a part time job so my schedule might shift around. I will happily send you pictures or video updates of your puppies or kittens, and I am also extremely willing to play with them using their favorite toys, and I don’t mind spending extra time for snuggling sessions while I’m there! ❤️ My house is usually very quiet save for the occasional cara passing by, and the cats are allowed to wander about and do whatever they want. I will also never try to force an interaction with a cat if the cat does not want it. I brush and groom my cats if the opportunity comes up, and is open to snuggling with a cat anytime 🥰
“Cayley is amazing and my pup LOVES her! She is so kind and so accommodating. I highly recommend her without any reservation. I felt completely comfortable with Cayley walking and checking in on my Golden.”

“We are so glad Tracey was available to take care of our pups while we were visiting Simi Valley and had a day at the Reagan Library planned without them. Tracey quickly figured out our dogs' favorite activities (the old one is a cuddler and the youngster is fetching obsessed). She was also great with us people providing prompt communication, darling photos, and showing up dependably. Definitely recommend her!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Simi Valley is $25

Meghan has been great as a pet sitter for my cats! After I left for vacation, I realized it was going to be really hot out for a couple days so I contacted Meghan and explained I needed her to set up a couple Fans and open the sliding doors a bit for better air circulation and set out more water for my cats. Meghan did everything I asked and took great care of my kitties, for which I am grateful.
Sasha did a check in for our leapord gecko and cat. She fed the gecko, cleaned the litter box and made sure that the pets had water She was great at communicating and sent us some adorable photos. She did a great job and I highly recommend her if you want someone to take care of your pets.
Leaving our cats alone for the first time in a new home was stressful and Alexandra took care of everything! The cats loved her, she kept us informed and provided pictures and also took care of several packages that were left wile we were gone. I can definitely recommend Alexandra and will be using her again.
Martha was great!! Would definitely recommend her. The animals were taken care of perfectly and they looked so happy in all the photos. She Made our trip away that much more enjoyable knowing that our fur babies were in great hands. Will be using her service again. Thanks Martha!!!
We have had Juan take care of our two cats five times and we don’t even consider hiring anybody else because he is the best! He and his girlfriend take great care of our cats and our home by providing us updates and adorable pictures of our cats. They even take the time to play with our cats, feed them treats, pet them, and ensure the house is safe. From the start, they’ve been great with receiving information about taking care of our cats and are very polite and adaptable when receiving new updates. We’ve been very grateful for them and would highly recommend!

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.

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.
