About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments for several years through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I have experience with both high energy pets and more relaxed or senior animals, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m very attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure pets are secure at all times. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I provide regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I've never really taken care of dogs, other than pet sit for friends and family but I have a dog and 2 cats! They are my everything and I'll care for yours like I care for mine. I work until 7 pm on Monday-Thursday and work from home on Fridays, usually will just have meetings until 2 then I am free. Also free on the weekends! I will take dogs on a long or short walk, whatever they're used to and can handle. i can also hike with dogs if that's what they like to do. For cats, I play with them with their toys or cuddle with them if they're not into playing.

Claudia A. did a fantastic job taking care of our American shorthair cat Popsicle for over three weeks, 2x per day! She was easy to communicate with, punctual and engaged well with Popsicle’s needs including litter box, wet food/dry food, water, affection, and playtime! She sent great photos every visit along with a summary report. As a side bonus she brought in newspapers, Amazon packages and mail! Highly recommended…we look forward to working with her again!!

About: I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, and even hermit crabs. I love animals! I grew up with 3 cats in one home and 7 in another. Two of my cats lived to be over 20 years old, and my current cat is 19. I love senior kitties and have plenty of experience giving them shots and other types of medication. For cats I offer feeding/watering, litter cleaning, basic grooming, play, company, and medication administering. I also have experience with small and medium-sized dogs such as toy poodles and pugs. For dogs I offer walking, feeding/watering, basic grooming, play, and company. I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time for drop-in visits and dog-walking throughout the day. I prefer morning and evening visits but can also do mid-day if needed. I treat your fur babies with the utmost care and love, as if they were my own. If anything seems out of the ordinary, rest assured I will contact you and take the necessary action to keep your baby safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was a little girl and have taken care of different sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. The longest i’ve taken care of a furry friend for is about a month and a half until the owner came back from vacation. I currently work part time and go to school so my schedule shifts a bit but i am looking for regular pets to care for and see! I have 2 of my own furry friends! I own a 9 year old maltese and 2 year old tuxedo cat. I always make time to walk my dog and play with my cat so they don’t feel lonely when i’m busy. I love buying them toys and taking them out to explore the outside.

About: From as long as I remember I've had dogs, from a small chihuahua to a pit bull, German shepherd, or a golden retriever. I've also assisted with the birth of some of my dogs by making sure momma was good and cutting the umbilical cords. I would like to think I know how to care for as well as respect the pets boundaries and also have fun with them! For my cats: I feed them as scheduled, play or cuddle with them as needed, and make sure to regularly clean their litter box. For my dog: I feed him as scheduled, take him on a morning and afternoon walk, and make sure to play with him as needed in our backyard! (They have automated water fountains and feeders for when im at work.) For my cats: I feed them as scheduled, play or cuddle with them as needed, and make sure to regularly clean their litter box. For my dog: I feed him as scheduled, take him on a morning and afternoon walk, and make sure to play with him as needed in our backyard!

Kat has been a great help for potty breaks with our dog. He's slow to warm up with new people and Kat was great taking the time to get to know him. She follows his care instructions to the letter and gives us a very detailed report each visit, we look forward to working with her more!

About: I am a huge animal lover. I grew up around dogs and have pet sat for many friends and family. I also have spent the last 8 years around cats as well: One of my dogs had Addisons disease so being around sick and emotional dogs is not a problem for me. I can also administer oral medication. I love being around and caring for animals. I am willing to work hard and make sure your dog is taken care of as if they were a part of my own family. I love playing fetch and just running around playing with dogs. I have no problem also spending my time with puppies in fact I would greatly enjoy it. I would also love to take your dog for walks even in cold weather. If you have a cat I would enjoy spending time playing with them and I am willing and able to scoop, change, and sweep up cat litter as this is something I do on a daily basis for my own cat Leo. I hope you will consider me. I am currently a student so as long as I am not in class I am free to check on your pets. Most of my classes are afternoon and evening but there are sometimes breaks in between classes as well. I am also completely free on weekends. I would make sure to let your dog out or take them for a walk so they go potty. I would make sure they are fed and just generally spend time with them brushing, playing, or just petting. If the pet is a cat I would make sure to check and scoop the litter and make sure they have food and of course spend some time with them brushing or playing.

About: Hi, I'm Christina! 🐾 I've spent the last 20 years loving animals in every form — dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, you name it. But dogs have always had my whole heart. My love for dogs runs deep and personal. I'm the proud parent of Ricky, a pit bull who came into my life after the passing of my grandfather — he was my grandfather's dog, and keeping him meant keeping a piece of someone I loved. Ricky taught me that dogs aren't just pets. They're family, comfort, and connection. That's exactly the energy I bring to every walk, visit, and overnight stay. I want to be the person your dog runs to the door for. The fun aunt who knows all their favorite spots, respects their quirks, and makes sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home — even when you're not there. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pit bulls and larger breeds that sometimes get overlooked. I'm also comfortable administering medication to cats and have cared for reptiles and fish, so no pet household is too complicated for me. Whether your pup needs a quick visit, a long adventure, or a sleepover with someone who will treat them like my own — I've got them. 🐾

About: I am a former veterinary technician now turned dog walker and petsitter. I started off working with animals helping the ranch hands at Pierce College. I assisted with 3 kidding seasons and educating the new students on the goat unit. Towards the end this time, I simultaneously started working at my first veterinary practice. I was there for a long time where I learned all the key basic teachings of veterinary medicine. I worked with dogs, cats, rats, birds, and rabbits at this practice. (Fun fact: I become pretty good at reading x-rays which I was very proud about.) I learned how to restrain properly (for all animals), draw blood, collect lab samples, express anal glands, nail trims, surgery monitoring, and lots of client care service. From there I moved to Seattle to work at a new veterinary practice. (If you are able to, please visit Seattle in the summer!) I missed home so I moved back after a while and started working at a veterinary hospital in Santa Monica. It was there were I learned the most because it was not only appointment based, but also a walk in/emergency clinic. Things got very chaotic and through this chaos it was my best work. I was the calm in the storm. I gave every single pet the exact same care no matter how neglected (we worked with the animal shelter and rescues) or how loved they were because they all deserve to feel cared for. I made sure that you pet parents deserved to feel safe trusting me with your pet's care. I have been with people on their best days with their new puppies and kittens and on their worst days saying goodbye to their family member. I understand how important your pet(s) are to you. I understand that it's not easy to trust a stranger with your pet(s). I understood that every time I met a new client, asking questions about your pet(s) history, taking their vitals, and hoping in that short time frame I earned enough trust from you to take your pet to the back while we performed services and safely return them back to you. If your pet(s) have any medications to give, you are in luck, I have a lot of experience in doing so. I helped pet parents at the clinic and in their own homes when they couldn't make it to the clinic any longer. I currently have a senior dog (she's 16), so I know that our senior baby's need extra care. I know they start having accidents inside the house again and have strict medications so rest assured, I would take care of your senior pups like I would take care of mine. They deserve it and you deserve a peace of mind about that. I will be working here on Rover in concurrent with my other job. I work from home so I am able to proficiently create a schedule that will make sure your pet(s) get the proper care they need. Our Meet & Greet will be mandatory as I want to know all the details of your pet's care and make sure that your pet(s) and my safety are aligned. Based off my veterinary experience, I can read a dog pretty well if they will be aggressive or timid or scared with a stranger's presence. I also want to know about your pet's quirks as I know almost everyone's pets have some because pets are funny that way. And I want to meet you to make sure we are a good fit for one another and that you feel safe trusting your pet's care with me. This relationship will be a two way street especially if it grows to be something more than once. As far as trusting me with your home, know that I have been helping my mom clean houses for over half my life (15+ years). She has her own business and has asked me to help out a lot throughout the years. I have been in people's homes in Pasadena, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Lake Sherwood, Westlake Village, Santa Monica, Brentwood and more. Many family's have trusted me with taking care of their homes and leaving them more beautiful than I found them. I created great relationships with people's pets as well aka they knew when I arrived they would be getting lots of love and their welcome treat!

As an owner of a doggy (Felix) that is rather unsocialized, untrained, and has the tendency to excite pee very often, I thought I was doomed with finding someone to take my boy out when I couldn't be there at night. But no - along came Jessica! She made me and Felix feel extra comfortable. She shared her prior experience with a dog that seemed similar to mine, which gave me true relief. During her drop-in, Felix excited peed on the floor and Jessica helped to clean it up (she even asked where the cleaning supplies were PRIOR to her drop-in because she knew what to expect with a doggy like mine - the INITIATIVE). By the end of her 30 minute visit, Felix was already barking and howling for Jessica to not leave. He loved her instantly and your pet will too.

As always, we don't trust anyone to take care of our cats except Samantha. She is incredibly thoughtful and always does an amazing job with them, even going so far as to administer my cat's eye medication, which, as any cat parent knows, can be quite a challenge! Thank you for your thoughtful care, as always. We truly appreciate everything you do.

I booked Ana to take care of my cat while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. She was very communicative, the meet and greet went well, and my cat totally trusted her off the bat. She paid close attention to detail while following my pets regular routine and my pet felt right at home while I was away. Would definitely trust Ana to take care of my cat again, she was great!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sun Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sun Valley on Rover is $21.94 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 8,064 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sun Valley. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sun Valley. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
