“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!”
“Sara did an awesome job taking car of my cat! This was my first time using Rover and i was definitely nervous, but sara made it so much less nerve wracking to leave my fur baby. Definitely recommend”
“Rachel and Demetra were wonderful! They did eight visits to our house while we were out of town. Fed our two kitties, cleaned litterbox, brought in mail, followed instructions well! Excellent communication and lots of pictures so I knew they were being well taken care of. We appreciated them being available during the holiday week!”
“Audrey was absolutely incredible. She stepped in last minute after a bad experience with another sitter and completely turned everything around. She even cleaned up after the previous sitter and made sure my dog was comfortable and cared for from the moment she arrived. Her communication was amazing — constant updates, photos, and quick responses that gave me total peace of mind. She was just all around wonderful, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Audrey, for taking such great care of my boy!”
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.
“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!!”
“Ellie took great care of my two cats! I highly recommend booking with her, she was very caring and attentive. And during her visits she took some cute photos of them too, which I really appreciated so I could still see them while I was away.”
“Samantha is amazing! She was very patient and caring with my cat in gaining his trust. She sent prompt updates and photos on how he was doing along with updates on what his temperament was like each day. I would definitely request her services again when I am out of town.”
“Victoria did a great job taking care of our two cats, including our energetic 5 month old kitten who requires a lot of attention and play time. Our other cat is very shy, and Victoria was able to get her to come out and receive some TLC too. We felt very comfortable while we were on vacation knowing our kitties were being well taken care of!”
“Lexy is a solid pet setter. I contacted her last minute and she was able to accommodate me. Everything went smoothly. She sent me updates and pictures. I've found my new favorite pet sitter!!”
“Jeffrey has been a great help to us when traveling. He's cared for our dogs, cats, chickens, and even helped with watering some plants while we're gone during a heat wave. He is my go to for pet assistance when we go out of town.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and personalized care for every pet. I have experience with puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medications. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and at home — whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or special attention for their unique needs I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, regular and multiple potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Having a flexible schedule means your pet will never be left alone for long, and they'll always feel cared for and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable environment with lots of love, playtime, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions.
“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.”
“I can’t recommend Christian enough. He’s been amazing with my dogs…so caring, patient, and genuinely attentive to their needs. You can tell he really loves what he does, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed after spending time with him. He’s also super reliable and flexible, which has been a huge help for me, especially when I’ve needed someone on short notice. It gives me total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dogs like their own, he’s the one. My dogs and family love him!”

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.
I can’t thank Ellie enough for noticing that our doodle might have a UTI and taking her to the vet right away while my family was out of town. I’m so grateful for her attentiveness, quick action, and genuine care for my dog. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Ellie is super communicative and truly an amazing sitter!!
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.
I can’t recommend Christian enough. He’s been amazing with my dogs…so caring, patient, and genuinely attentive to their needs.

He’s also super reliable and flexible, which has been a huge help for me, especially when I’ve needed someone on short notice. It gives me total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dogs like their own, he’s the one. My dogs and family love him!
Shaun is amazing! She is very thorough, and at the meet and greet asked questions about things I wouldn’t have thought of. She wanted to make sure she knew all the ins and outs of taking care of my pup. Her updates with each drop in visit were perfect. She provided the usual details, but also included little things that made me know my dog was in good hands. Knowing my dog was nervous with new people, she let me know that my dog was warming up to her and coming out of her shell. It was just what I wanted to hear to help ease my mind. I will definitely book Shaun again next time I need a sitter!
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!
I hired Daniela for an initial meet and greet with my dog to see if she’d be a good fit. She was on time and professional. She was confident and assertive with my dog which is important considering the breed is a cane corso. She seemed trustworthy and will be hired as an option for drop in visits moving forward.

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

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Simi Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Simi Valley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
