Cat Sitting Tara Hills

“I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!”

“This was our first experience with Rover, and we are very pleased with Patti. She loves kitties, which became clear when they met her. Patti is caring, responsible, prompt, attentive and knowledgeable regarding caring for pets while away. She bonded quickly with our oldest cat Ada who cuddled with her at night and maintained the distance between Ada and the other two young kitties Jack and Maya as requested. She paid attention to the instructions we left for her to follow, and helped us feel confident in our selection, especially with photos. We are totally pleased with Patti and the wonderful care she provided. We look forward to the opportunity to use her services in the future.”

About: Hi, my name is Luis, and I provide dependable, attentive, and high-quality pet care through rover. Caring for dogs has always been a true passion of mine, and I take pride in creating a safe, structured, and enriching experience for every dog in my care. As a fitness professional and part-time personal trainer who works primarily from home, I’m able to dedicate consistent time, supervision, and personalized attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. My active lifestyle allows me to provide dogs with the exercise, engagement, and companionship they need to feel balanced, relaxed, and happy. I focus on creating a calm and positive environment while reinforcing good habits such as loose-leash walking, recall, and attentiveness during walks and daily routines. Every dog receives patient care tailored to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident, informed, and at ease while your dog is with me. My home offers a comfortable and welcoming setting with a fully fenced yard and access to beautiful nearby walking areas, including Refugio Valley Park and surrounding trails just minutes away. Daily walks, outdoor time, play, and companionship are all part of the experience your dog will enjoy here. While staying with us, your pet will be treated like family and welcomed as part of our pack with plenty of affection, attention, structure, and care. Please feel free to share any routines, preferences, special instructions, or favorite activities your dog enjoys so I can provide the most comfortable and personalized experience possible.

Whether your pet enjoys active play or simply relaxing with company, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment during their stay. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a beautiful, quiet, and safe neighborhood with a fully fenced yard where your pet can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, play sessions, and relaxing in the sunshine whenever they choose. We are also fortunate to have scenic paved hiking trails and a park just a few minutes away, which I regularly use for walks and exercise with my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys leisurely strolls or more active outings, I can tailor their activities to their individual needs and energy level. To help your pet feel completely at home, I encourage you to share any special preferences, routines, favorite activities, or unique needs they may have. Maintaining consistency with their daily schedule helps create a comfortable, stress-free experience and allows them to settle in as if they were in their own home.

“Olivia took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for a week. Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. Thank you very much, Olivia!”

“Alan was fantastic. My dog took to him immediately and I knew he would be in good hands while I was away. He was communicative and prompt with updates and my house was in excellent condition when I returned. I could tell my dog had a great time and I will definitely be booking with him in the future.”

Ashley G.

“Signe was a great cat & house sitter! We left for a long weekend and she stayed with our cat Mo. He warmed up to her quickly and she sent updates and photos while we were away. She was great at communicating and left our house clean and tidy. Would definitely have Signe back!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, horses, cats, fish and other animals for decades, both professionally and for friends and family. I currently have 2 Jack Russell’s. I am retired and my time is my own, and very flexible. Dogs are a great fit for my daily hiking routine and my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a clients home I follow their instructions to the letter. At my home pets have access to the entire house.

“This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever having a house sitter, so we were understandably a bit nervous going into it. Lexx immediately put us at ease. She stayed with our cat Jax for four nights and was fantastic throughout the entire stay. Her communication was excellent — she kept us updated regularly and shared thoughtful updates that made it easy to relax while we were away. It was clear Jax was well cared for and comfortable with her. When we returned home, everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as we left it, which we really appreciated. Lexx was respectful of our home and very dependable. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely book Lexx again. We’re really glad we found her for our first Rover experience.”

Donald H.

“We had a wonderful experience with Charlene. She was able to accommodate our last minute booking request which we really appreciated. She sent us daily updates and adorable pictures. It was clear that our kitties were well cared for and received plenty of attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter! Thank you so much again!”

About: Whether high-energy pups or senior dogs needing a softer touch, I’ve built strong bonds with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’m often the sitter called when a dog needs extra presence, patience, or someone who just “gets” them. I grew up always having dogs, and they are some of the best emotional support a person can ever get, and I think they deserve the same! Many dog parents have told me their pets don’t usually take to strangers — or men — but often within an hour, we’re friends. As long as their person is there in approval! I don’t rush connection. I listen, I observe, and I let each dog feel safe and that they have their space until they trust me to lead and care for them. Recent Dog house-sits have included: • A 1.5-year-old German Shepherd–Husky mix with boundless energy and some behavioral challenges who doesn't get along with his housemate, • A 15-year-old Border Collie–Akita senior companion with mobility needs. She has such a sweet heart, and she just needed to have her space protected, and they were able to start walking regularly together with me! • A 17-year-old Chihuahua-Chow mix with memory loss and low vision who is afraid of most people. It took him 2 months to bond with his "dad!" With support from his "mom," we were buddies within 30 min, and they are repeat clients! • A 17-year-old Beagle who doesn't like to be touched by anyone — but gave plenty of kisses and playfulness once she trusted me From long walks to short sniff sessions, playtime to quiet companionship, I adjust to each dog’s energy and needs. I treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine — with genuine care, attunement, and respect for their space. My schedule & flexibility: I am pet sitting for my program and work remotely most days for Creative Generations, my pre-professional ballet dancer mentorship and wellness program! So I'm home and available for pet care, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Saturdays (and occasional Sundays): I coach some dancers and may be away for 4–5 hours. Once or twice a week (often Fridays): I help out at a friend's calm, quiet local shop. If you want, I've occasionally brought smaller, well-behaved dogs with me when appropriate—always with permission and only if the dog is comfortable! 🏡 How I Care for Pets in Their Home I treat every home I stay in with the same care, respect, and calm energy that I would my own. I know how important it is that your pet feels safe and secure in their space, especially while you’re away. I always begin with a calm, gentle introduction — usually a 20-minute visit — to make sure your pet feels at ease with me before I arrive for the sit. I pay close attention to their body language and routines, so the transition is smooth and stress-free. During my stay, I keep things peaceful, tidy, and consistent. I respect house rules and your pet’s routines — meal times, walks, play, downtime — so they feel supported, not disrupted.

About: Since I was born, I have had pets running around my house and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I have had 5 cats and 3 dogs and I know everything there is to know about taking care of them. I will make sure your pets get the same love that my pets get at home. I don't have a job right now so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, but I will update my availability when I do find a job. I live in an area with lots of open walking space and places to use the bathroom. There is a park close by with wide open areas that I know pets would love to roam and explore.
