About: Since the age of 10, I have taken care of birds, dogs, cats, a turtle, some frogs, and horses. I worked as an assistant stable manager at the LA Equestrian Center, I spent a summer volunteering at the National Aviary, and I have also done training on my own pets, (parakeets and puppies). I love taking care of animals and discovering their individual quirks and personalities. It is important to me that they feel comforted by me, and that people can count on me to take good care of their pets. I am a freelance work-from-home artist, and I am available during the day on weekdays, and also on occasional weekends to take care of your pets. I respect every client's specific preferences and their pet's needs, and will treat their home with the utmost respect. I am a clean and organized person, and strive to keep my client's homes as clean and organized as possible.
“Mandy was quick to respond to any change or urgent messages. She was flexible and able to help monitor my cat’s sore that needed to be checked to see that it didn’t reappear.”
“Morgan did a great job of taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was safe and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Alicia is the best! She is so patient and kind. We have a very reactive dog and she came back week after week to work with him and to earn his trust to hopefully build up to overnight stays. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Ollie took great care of our 2 kitties, having great playtime and taking cute photos. He consistently cleaned their spaces and litter, allowing my partner and I to be stress-free during our travel! Thanks so much!”
About: I have grown up with both cat and dogs my entire life and was raised on how to take care of them! I was always the person growing up that friends and family reached out to when they needed a dog or cat sitter. I've also worked as a dog walker through a previous service as well. I am currently in between jobs so I am available all week between 6am and 10pm. I am off on the weekends but can make exceptions in some cases. When dropping in or walking pets I make sure they are safe and sound. I check to make sure they have water or food, clean and are happy. I triple check to make sure when entering and leaving that doors are locked and the pets are safe inside. On walks I am familiar with all harness types and make sure they are secure in my hold. I am also aware of my surroundings to make sure no dangers are around and that the pet is behaving normally.
“Sahra is just wonderful! This was the first time we used Rover and were anxious pet parents. She was amazing at communicating and our girls loved her. She even got our very shy cat to play and allow her to pet her! She followed our instructions to a T and was receptive to changes we made during the booking. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Gage did such a wonderful job helping with our little fur babies. He made sure that they were fed and made sure their litter box was cleaned. We let him know that we would throw out the litter and that he didn’t have to do that but he went above and beyond and took care of that on his own. Gage we will absolutely keep you as our #1 the next time we have to go out of town. Thank you so much.”
“As always, Joy does a wonderful job caring for our cats! She goes the extra mile to look after all the details and that gives us peace of mind when we’re away.”
“We so appreciate Megan. She is dependable and takes great care of our fur babies. It is wonderful relief for us to know our pups are taken care of each day when we are at work.”
“Celina was wonderful! I was nervous about leaving our cat for 2 weeks but she was so great! She sent us updates and photos every day and it made me happy knowing he was well taken care of.”
“A last minute request after our original sitter fell through, Allison made time for a meet and greet and made extra effort during the drop in to ensure our kitty was safe and taken care of. Great communication during the visit. Will definitely use services again for future trips!”
About: I have over 12 years of personal pet care experience from growing up with and caring for my own pets. As a full-time physical therapy student, I’m highly responsible, detail-oriented, and compassionate. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including senior animals, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, grooming, and medication routines. My background gives me a special sensitivity to mobility and health needs, making me a calm, attentive sitter who treats pets like family. I’m currently a full time graduate student. As of right now, I am off for the summer and am available during most weekdays and weekends until the beginning of August 2026. I enjoy spending my free time staying active and caring for animals, so pet sitting is a natural and rewarding part of my weekend! I provide care in the client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or crate time. I always aim to keep pets happy, safe, and stress free while their owners are away.
About: I absolutely adore all animals, and I have experience with many different types of pets and dogs. I will treat your pets like they’re my own, and I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, and I’ve dog sat overnight for more people than I can count. I’m very on top of meds, meal time, walks, and play time, your pet’s happiness and wellbeing is very important to me! I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior dogs and cats, and wrangled unruly pets many times, and I’m happy to meet your pet’s needs whatever they may be. I am currently a full time student looking for flexible part time employment, so I am very available for your pets! I’m available before 10am and again after 1:30pm Mondays and Tuesdays, and my availability Wednesday-Sunday is very open. I will make sure your pets are perfectly happy and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll always follow all instructions you leave for me. I have a big SUV perfect for transporting if needed, and I have experience working with scared and nervous animals who may take time to warm up or get used to me.
“Shannon was amazing with our cats. One is extremely shy and she brought her out of her shell (and from hiding under the bed). She’s conscientious and we loved all the photos in her updates. We’d absolutely ask her to drop in again.”
“It was great to work with Kate during the time she cared for our pet rabbit over the week we were away. She was very responsive and communicative, following all care instructions without issue. We know our bun was happy to have a visitor twice a day! Kate also helped out with a few household items while we were away which was very helpful and appreciative. We look forward to working with her again.”

Annee has been and will be my go-to for taking excellent care of my fur babies :). You can count on her to do exactly what you ask, provide prompt communication and regular updates and look out for your fur family while you’re away. Example: we had a heat wave while I was out of town. She updated me on this and let me know she was ensuring they had enough water to stay hydrated and as usual kept me updated. Whenever I return from being out of town when Annee is taking care of them, I am always confident that they’ll be in good health and not stressed out from me being away. We love Annee!
Liv did an amazing job pet sitting Cosmo and our fish for 5 days! She was incredibly reliable, sending daily check-ins and awesome photo updates that we loved seeing. Cosmo bonded with her right away and got so close to her. We felt totally at ease knowing everyone was in such great hands. Thank you, Liv, for taking such wonderful care of our pets! Highly recommend!
Joy is organized, reliable, & thoughtful. She’s great at communicating with us, & she’s made the effort to bond with our extremely shy cats. We’re thankful for her reliability, skills, & kindness. It’s a relief to know our kitties are in her hands when we travel.
Sahra is just wonderful! This was the first time we used Rover and were anxious pet parents. She was amazing at communicating and our girls loved her. She even got our very shy cat to play and allow her to pet her! She followed our instructions to a T and was receptive to changes we made during the booking. We will definitely book again with her!
Alejandra did an excellent job of caring for my pets while I was out of town! After sending the booking request, she immediately reached out to me and was able to stop by for a new client visit on the same day! She was a breeze to work with and gave me updates and pictures each day. My cats were well cared for and I came back to a happy household. I will definitely be re-booking with Alejandra for the foreseeable future.
Tori is the real deal. We have complicated care routines for our pets and she followed every single instruction without missing a beat. Tori did it flawlessly. You could tell she genuinely cared, not just going through the motions. We came home to happy, relaxed animals. She's the only sitter we'll request from now on.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Somerset West on Rover is $25.53 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,465 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Somerset West. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
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.
