“So thankful for Stacy! She truly puts me at ease when I leave town. I know my fur babies are always cared for and safe. She is heaven sent! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
About: As a long time pet owner myself, I know how hard it was when I had to leave my fur babies at home when I was working. My goal is to lessen that guilt and sadness for you by helping take care of your fur family while you are working or traveling. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jennifer and although I'm new at Rover, I'm not new when it comes to taking care of pets. I currently live with 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own that are all my babies. So I am excited to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. I will love and care for your fur family as if they were my very own. My services include house sitting as well for your convenience. My schedule is very flexible so I'm available anytime to help take care of your fur baby. I live in Simi Valley but will travel up to 30 miles. I follow whatever requirements you have for your pet or pets, of course within reason. After all, you know them best. I'm here to help take some pressure off you.
“She did a fantastic job looking after our senior cats once again! As if medicating two cats wasn't challenge enough, this time we added a home remodel to her list of obstacles to overcome! Jessica was awesome!”
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.
About: With three years of experience in the veterinary field and starting at the age of 18 , I have successfully advanced from kennel assistant to receptionist and now to veterinary assistant. Having grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, fishes, hamsters I have developed a lifelong passion for animal care. I am dedicated to making every animal feel safe in my care and building strong, trusting relationships with owners. I work 10-hour shifts four days a week from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am only available Sunday through Tuesday. However, I can accommodate requests outside of these days after my shift ends If available To ensure I provide the best care for your pet while you are away, I ask for pet parents to write down or print out an instruction sheet for me including details like: - Pet Care & Activities: Any specific routines or activities you would like me to do with their pet. - Medication (if applicable): The exact name, dosage, and schedule. - House Duties: Tasks like taking out the trash or picking up after your pet in the yard.
About: I treat every dog like my own. Having had two dogs and growing up with dogs, I understand how important it is for them to feel secure and cared for. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and love keeping up with playful, high-energy pups too. I’m comfortable following routines, reinforcing training, and giving extra attention when needed. You’ll get consistent updates so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands. I work full time. So my availability varies but I am open to working things out! I have some flexibility and can also be available before and after work My approach to house sitting is all about consistency, attention, and trust. I maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar space. With hands-on experience from owning two pets and a lifetime around animals, I’m confident managing a wide range of personalities and needs. I stay attentive to behavior, provide regular engagement and care, and ensure your home stays clean and secure. Clear communication and daily updates are always part of my service.
“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.”
“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!”
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 🥰
About: I have had pets all of my life, and have always loved and treated them as family members. I have raised puppies, cared for elderly dogs, and trained several breeds of varying ages. I've even raised a doodle...Honestly, I feel like I can do anything after that! My daily schedule is flexible, and I can adjust it as needed. This allows me to focus on your pet and give them the attention that they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard and dog doors for easy access at our home. Our pets are always treated as family, and yours will be too.
“Danielle is such a sweet dog sitter! I had to go out of town for work for a week and needed someone to come feed and play with my puppy while my husband was at work. Danielle was so accommodating, sent us daily recaps and photos, and our puppy just loved 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.
“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!!”
“Emily was such a great hep during this crazy week with our dog! She made sure Kenai was super happy and always sent great updates about her status! I can’t tell you how much of a great help she was to our family. Thank you again Emily!”
“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: Hi, I'm Ever and I have provided pet care to family and neighbors' pets since I can remember! More recently, my father's 3 dogs and fish! I have also partnered with organizations to provide workplace visits where therapy animals, including dogs, can interact with employees. I currently work at home so I am available throughout the week and weekends, day and night. I support urgent and immediate requests as well! My mother and father were in wheelchairs their entire lives, so it was important to ensure safety mechanisms that would benefit both our family and pets. I will be able to provide similar, if not more, support for your pets, home and family!
“Accepted my request for a last minute drop in visit. She was patient with my dog who is terrified of being around strangers when I’m not around. I just wish she didn’t let my dog pee on my couch 🙃”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Simi Valley is $25

Jasmine was a great pet sitter! We have a very shy cat and in the few days Jasmine was able to form a connection and build trust that by the end she came out for pets and treats. She also bonded quickly with our other cat. She was timely, responsive, send great photos, and left detailed daily report cards. She went above and beyond and even put our ring camera that had fallen down back up! I would definitely recommend Jasmine and we would use her again in the future!
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. 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!
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!

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.
