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.

“Stacy, will be our “cat drop-in” person furever!! She has amazing communication, is very professional and made us feel comfortable with her checking in on our fur babies and in our home. Thank you Stacy!”
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.
“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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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: What sets me apart is my firsthand experience raising and caring for a dog through every stage of life. I got my first dog four years ago as a puppy, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that puppies need, from early morning potty breaks and training routines to handling the energetic teenage stage and now adult care. That experience has made me very responsible, dependable, and comfortable adapting to different pets’ needs and personalities. As a college student returning home, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and extra availability throughout the day. I’m able to dedicate time to walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention and companionship while their owners are away. Since I’m looking to earn some extra cash, I’m reliable, adaptable, and happy to work around different pet care needs and schedules In my home I care for pets by taking them out on walks three times a day, as well as giving them the attention they need.
About: Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play with their pets while away on vacations, I have owned dogs during childhood and currently have a cat I’m currently off for summer break, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most afternoons and evenings, with flexible scheduling to fit your needs. Your pet will get lots of attention, playtime, and love while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and routines with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your pet’s schedule, feeding and walking routines, and any special instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure your home stays clean and secure while you're away.
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.
“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.”
About: Hi I’m Lizzy, new here as sitter but have been on Rover for 8+ years. I’ve cared for many dogs over the years myself, having fostered and rescued and it brings me joy every time helping these amazing souls find the loving homes and humans that my dogs have. I work from home so I am here to give the love, care, and attention that your pet will need. I have senior care experience as well as puppy care. My loves are Zoei (14yr old Dachshund mix) and TaMollie (4 month old Miniature Dachshund). I have a fenced back yard for plenty of play and exercise. I have cared for 3 litters consisting of 7 puppies each at a time even having to supplement bottle some at times. I know first hand how important it is to find a safe and caring sitter for you pet while you are away and if I can help to ease the anxiety that comes with that task by looking after them, that right there is what it’s all about! I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and exercise your pet. Also being available for bathroom breaks as needed. Minimal crate time is what I like to go for. I have fenced yard and two small breed dogs to keep your dog company. They love meeting new friends and playtime is a blast. Safe supervised freedom is how I am with my pets.
“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 🙃”
“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!”

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!!!

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Simi Valley on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 12,238 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Simi Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
