Amy Leigh was amazing with our cat Jasper! He really loved her company while we were away. He's a tough case when he needs to take medicine, and she did great. Amy Leigh also was willing to water the garden and take the trash out, which is so appreciated! Definitely will book with her again.

Heather was such a pleasure to meet and work with. She immediately set me at ease with her professionalism and passion for caring for pets. My cats took to her right away, which I always take as a good sign. She kept me informed, which I loved, and made great decisions for my pets when I was unavailable to give input. Knowing she was caring for my pets eased my usual anxiety around leaving the house for extended periods of time. I will 100% utilize Heather when we are out of town again.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, goats, and horses. Every animal is welcome! I provide a kind, patient, and respectful environment tailored to your pet's specific routine. Message me anytime to discuss how I can help care for your animal! Since I care for animals full-time, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I spend my days studying at home and working on structured training and bonding with my smart dog, Rosie. Because Rosie is currently recovering from a leg injury, we stay close to home, meaning I am consistently available to dedicate my full time, energy, and attention to caring for your pets. I provide care directly in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. My focus is just on sticking to your exact routine for feeding, medication, and potty breaks. I treat your home with total respect and will always send you updates and photos so you know they are doing well.

This was our first time using ROVER. Crystal was great. She showed up twice a day on time and walked, played with, and fed our dog. She sent great pictures and sent notes throughout our 9 day trip. Would highly recommend Crystal!

About: I am on Kern County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team, I am fingerprinted and background vetted. So your animals and property would be well protected. I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young girl. I also worked at a veterinary hospital while I was in high school, which fueled my passion for animals. Family, friends and neighbors have all relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. Whether it's dropping dogs off at my home or me staying at their house to provide a calming, reassurance to your pet while they were gone. I am currently retired. So I have plenty of time to look in on your pet, take them for walks, give them love and nuzzles. Or just come and peek in on them and make sure they have plenty of food and water and that they are okay. Some animals that I take care of do not care for people to stick around in their home. So I just check on them several times a day and make sure they're doing okay. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to play with your pups and keep them active. I can easily create if need be.

Lora did a great job!!! She was on-time and very consistent. Our dog Willie became comfortable with Lora and that made us so comfortable and happy. We will absolutely ask Lora again to assist us while we are away. Thank you Lora so much for working with us and giving Willie what he needed most, love and attention. 😊

About: You’ll get total kindness and dependability, along with happy pets when you select me. I will do everything I can to make sure your pets feel happy, safe and are well cared for. I never rush and always give pets all the time they need while I am there. Plus, I’m happy to water plants and anything else you need for free. - I’m new to Rover but have been pet sitting via neighborhood apps and ads for over 20 years. Additionally, I do as many drop-in visits as your pets need for that same basic day rate. So, if you need me to stop by three or more times, I’m happy to do that for no extra charge. It helps keep your pets in their home where they are most comfortable without interrupting their routine. While there I can open or close blinds, turn lights and TV off or on, whatever your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while you are away. Plus, you’ll get regular updates so you know your pets are dong well while you are away. Along with caring for my pug and my cats - caring for others pets takes center stage during the day. I also enjoy getting to know pets and their owners in order to give excellent care. I understand keeping your pet safe is an incredible extension of trust. I am very careful when opening doors, am very aware of our surroundings when taking walks, and very careful doors are securely locked. Any special requests owners have, I am happy to abide. I’m safe, dependable and trustworthy- always.

Completely inclosed yard as well as a big house with lots of room to roam. I have 6 cats and 7 dogs as well as other pets that can provide your animals with company.

About: Tucked away in the mountains, my off-grid home is more than just a boarding space—it’s a peaceful, nurturing retreat where both dogs and cats can feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and caring for them is second nature to me. Maybe it’s the Leo in me, but I’ve always been drawn to the independent, curious nature of cats, just as much as the loyalty and energy of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually—their quirks, their comforts, and their communication style—because no two are the same. Whether they need adventure, structure, play, or just a quiet place to rest, I tailor their stay to what suits them best. My own pack includes two amazing dogs, both of whom I’ve raised since they were pups—an Australian Kelpie who thrives on activity and focus, and a Husky/Malamute mix who loves adventure just as much as I do. I also have two incredibly special cats, Face and Lilith. Face, my shadow and best friend, was once a wary barn cat who took 1.5 years to trust me. Now, he hikes with me and my dogs, showing an adaptability I’ve never seen in another cat. Lilith, my Hemingway cat, appeared as a tiny, helpless kitten in the woods and has since grown into a thriving, playful companion. Recently, I also took on the challenge of caring for and finding homes for 21 puppies all at once—an experience that reinforced my deep commitment to the well-being of every animal that comes into my care. For dogs, my home offers the perfect mix of adventure and comfort, with plenty of space to roam, explore, and play. For cats, I provide a dedicated, dog-free space downstairs, designed just for them, complete with padded, cloth-covered shelves, sunlit lounging spots, and plenty of enrichment to keep them engaged. Cats are never let outside unless specifically requested by their owner, ensuring their safety. Whether you have a dog who thrives on companionship and outdoor adventure or a cat who craves quiet comfort and personalized care, my home is a place where they will be loved, understood, and cared for like family. I do have a large fenced back yard which is behind expanded currently. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s fully integrated into my daily life. Living off-grid and working from home means I don’t have a traditional 9-to-5 schedule, so my time revolves around the animals in my care. From the moment I wake up, I’m tending to their needs—letting dogs out to stretch their legs in the fresh mountain air, preparing meals tailored to each pet, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Throughout the day, I engage with them in ways that suit their personalities—whether it’s a long hike through the woods for high-energy dogs, quiet companionship for more relaxed pets, or interactive play for curious cats. Because I’m always home, no animal is ever left alone for long. I have the flexibility to adapt to their needs in real-time, whether it’s providing extra comfort for a nervous newcomer or giving an active pup the extra exercise they crave. At night, every pet settles in safely, knowing they are in a warm, loving environment. Caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s simply my way of life. Exercise and outdoor time are a big part of my daily routine. I take my dog for runs or walks multiple times a day, exploring the beautiful mountain trails and giving them the movement they need. If your dog enjoys exercise and adventure, I’d be happy to include them in these outings, ensuring they get plenty of physical activity and enrichment. Whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a high-energy run, I tailor the experience to match their needs and comfort level. If your pet has special needs—such as medication, a specific feeding routine, or any other care requirements—I’m happy to integrate that into my daily schedule. Every animal is different, and I make sure to accommodate their unique needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals to include dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and other exotic pets. I do not have experience with farm animals but I am a quick study. I am able to provide care for senior animals as well as pass medications accurately and on-time. I deeply respect all the creatures who share this planet with us, so rest assured that your pets will be well-cared-for and be in good hands when they're with me. I will treat them like they're my own. I currently work wed, thurs, fri during the day and am often busy for 9 hours on those days and would not be able to do any visits during those hours, but I'm available 6am-7am and 6pm-9pm. Safety is my number one priority, which means leashes will never be neglected and every pet will always be accounted for at the beginning and the end of every visit.

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate, lifelong animal lover back in Tehachapi Alpine Forest! Growing up, I gained hand-on experience with both small and big dogs, so I am entirely comfortable and confident handling pups of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting for friends and family, and I even turned my love for animals into a professional, paid service while stationed in Germany. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful cats and live with and also take care of two frenchies, so I completely understand the love, patience, and attention to detail it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, some cozy companionship, or specific routine care, I will treat them with the exact same love and devotion I give my own. With my summer entirely open and a flexible hybrid college schedule during the school year, I have the perfect routine to give your pets the dedicated time and attention they deserve. Because I’m not locked into a 9-to-5, I can easily accommodate mid-day check-ins, specific feeding routines, and consistent playtime schedules that keep your cats or dogs happy and relaxed. I go to class from 6-9pm one day every other week during the school year, and on my hybrid class days, I can study right alongside your pets, providing that constant companionship. You can rest assured that my schedule allows me to be highly reliable and completely focused on maintaining your pet's normal daily routine with an overnight stay or check ins! I provide all of my pet care services exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of the client's home, as my own household is already fully occupied by my own pets. When staying at or visiting your home, I always make sure my care to almost mirrors your pet's established daily routine, whether that means adhering to precise feeding schedules, managing litter box maintenance, or providing dedicated interactive playtime. I am able to give your pets personalized attention in the space :)

About: I have dealt with many different pet personalities and genuinely care about their needs. I aim to give your four-legged friends the attention they deserve. I believe that a dog should have the ability to see what outside looks like, and visit different areas such as parks. I also believe that all pets act a certain way for a reason, and shouldn't be yelled at, or treated badly if they aren't 'easy-going' or 'social'. Personally, my love for pets started when I got my first dog as five years old. Named him Rocky after the boxer, Rocky Balboa. Unfortunately, he passed away two years ago from old age. He was blind, but he still recognized my voice...which was pretty amazing. Rocky showed me that a dog could truly be a man's best friend. I pledge to give the upmost care to your best friend. I currently work from home, so I will have plenty of time to play, walk, and give your pet the love they need while you’re away. I will carefully review your instructions in order to provide the best and safest environment for your pet(s). My services will be provided at a level that gives you and your pet maximum comfort.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Tehachapi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tehachapi on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of June 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 .

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
