“Alex did a wonderful job watching my kittens for the week while I was out of town! I got lots of photos and updates and I had the most relaxing stress free trip knowing they were taken care of!!”
“Jeanne was great with our 3 kitties when we were out of town for several days and she visited twice a day. She has a clear comfort level with cats and seemed to genuinely enjoy them. Most importantly, she was able to give our diabetic boy shots twice a day with no issues, which was our primary concern and she totally managed it. She also spent time socializing with them all, sent us detailed updates, photos, and videos as we requested, and left the space tidy. We would definitely have her help with our babies again!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds since age 15. I previously volunteered in the dog training school at the Humane Society in Minnesota, training puppies through adult dogs in basic skills. I have owned two large breed dogs into their senior years and currently have a pandemic pup who is now 6 years old. I will walk short and slow walks or energetic and longer walks as needed! I’m recently retired and have plenty of time now to help fellow dog owners with busy schedules keep their dogs exercised and happy. I walk daily and would love to have your pup join me. I have a smaller fenced yard and a 55 lb pup of my own. Most of her exercise is walking out in the neighborhood and if the dogs are good together we can all walk as a group. We previously had a second dog, a St Bernard, so our current pup is used to walking with other dogs.
“Roshanak is the most lovely human. She gave great care to King Arthur, treating him like the king he is. I was away for 10 days and she gave King Arthur lots of attention, lots of cuddles, talking to him. He's a demanding kitty and he had never spent time with anyone else but me. I was nervous how he handled HIS vacation but Roshanak made him completely comfortable. She sent me status photos and videos to assure me he was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Roshanak as a pet sitter. Her home can be wonderful refuge for kitties and doggies.”
About: I’m a recent UC Davis graduate with a degree in Wildlife Conservation and a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I have hands-on experience caring for my two cats and dog, as well as looking after a friend’s pet in my own home for three months. Through my university studies, I gained experience handling wildlife and developed a deeper understanding of animal behavior, welfare, and the importance of providing safe, attentive care. I’ve also been helping care for stray cats and their kittens since I was young, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and dedication to animals with different needs. Whether it’s taking dogs on walks, providing companionship, feeding pets, maintaining routines, or making sure cats feel comfortable and secure, I understand how important it is to treat every animal with kindness and respect. I know pets are family, and I strive to provide the same loving, attentive care I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and giving you peace of mind while you’re away! ❤️ I am currently working part time and have plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your pets needs whether that is pet sitting, walking or visits! I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and the space to feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to body language and signs of stress so I can adjust my approach, give pets space when needed, and build trust at their own pace. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for neighbors and friends since I was 10. I grew up with dogs, and loved helping train them. I have found great success with force free training! I am a student, so I have time during the week for dog walks and at home check ins! I may have occasional weekend availability as well, but will be able to help out most on weekdays. I don’t offer care for pets at my home, but I am happy to work with whatever requests you have. I am very flexible and happy to accommodate specific rules if needed, I know every pet has their own quirks :)
About: Puppy cleanup, Obedience training or freestyle, Heinz 57 to AKC, I enjoy their company and I can keep them safe when our and about or at home. I am available for this work 7 days a week and holidays. From morning through evening. I especially like working with your babies on Sundays. I do dog walking and pet sitting in your home. Dogs and cats. Puppies and kittens. Big litters are ok too. Brushing, leash training. Many skills.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, fostering dogs and cats, volunteering at SPCAs, and helping my mom dog-sit. My wife and I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 reptiles. Mya, our 7 year old Husky, and MJ, our 9 year old American Shorthair, have been with my wife for 7 years. Solina, mixed breed puppy, and our reptiles are newer additions. It would just be me providing care! My wife and I have a great routine for our pets. We feed them and take them out at consistent times throughout the day. We also take them on outdoor adventures at least once a week. We make sure pets are well taken care of while not letting them run wild. Our dogs are friendly and used to other dogs. The cat keeps to herself. We have a crate can keep dogs in rooms for alone time. If caring in someone else’s home, I would respect your personal property and ways of doing things.
“Makenna is great, especially for shy kitties! She got my cat to warm up to her quick, and took great care of her while I was gone, including by going above and beyond when some ants found her food. She was also available on short notice, which was a godsend.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crystal was AMAZING we were gone all day and she sent so many pictures and good updates about potty breaks and food/water intake! She’s the best highly recommend. She even stayed 20min longer than scheduled to let them play a little longer!”
About: Hi, I’m Sammi, a pet lover in North SD who lost my 18-year-old schnauzer in 2021 and has been pouring that same love into every pet I care for. We’re home all day, 7 days a week, so your fur baby will always have company, enjoy three walks daily, and get a paw wipe after every walk. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first, a double-door entry keeps them secure, no resident pets or kids means zero stress, and 18 years of experience means we treat every pup like our own.
About: Hi, I’m Aaliyah! I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me very early on that every animal has a unique personality and specific needs. I know how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away. Because I currently work part-time, my schedule is incredibly flexible! This means I have plenty of open daytime hours, flexible breaks, and open days to dedicate entirely to your pups and pets! I strictly follow familiar daily routines, maintain open communication with regular photo updates, and treat the client's home with the utmost cleanliness and respect so everyone feels completely at ease! :)
“Best sitter I’ve had! Marilyn watched my 2 cats, one of them who was freshly recovering from a urinary blockage. She was able to ease my anxious mind while I was away on my trip. My cats LOVED her.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and fish. I’m comfortable working with pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I’m always open to caring for other types of pets as well. I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship based on their individual needs. I also prioritize keeping their space clean, safe, and comfortable and carefully following any instructions provided by their owners. Hi! My name is Jessenya, I’m 21, and I’m currently a college student studying business while also working part-time as a nanny. I’ve always loved animals and have pets of my own, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I also really enjoy meeting new pet friends and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m open to dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while families are away, and I’m happy to discuss other care needs depending on the details and what works best for you and your pet. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow each family’s instructions closely and do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other specific care. I also make sure their space stays clean, safe, and secure while giving them plenty of attention and companionship.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have gained knowledge how to learn their behaviors and boundaries. Friends and families have had me dog sit for them over the years. I’ve loved every second of it. I am currently on a leave of absence from work for personal reasons and have mostly full time availability. I am available at any time during the day besides late evenings. I won’t be able to host animals within my house, but I’ll feed, bathe, spend time with them, walk, play, clean up after them, and do whatever else to make the animals happy.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for my entire life, from bunnies, birds, cats, turtles, and dogs. I currently take care of friend’s dogs and cats whenever they deploy so I’m very good at checking in and taking great care of animals. I love all of earths creatures. Your pets are in good hands with me. I ALSO HAVE MILITARY BASE ACCESS :) I can drop in for pet care during the weekdays after 1600 due to work but I’m primarily available/flexible on the weekends, holidays, and holiday weekends. I live in an apartment with two cats who freely adventure onto the patio and I do take them outside, supervised. I will spend time playing with them for hours until they get tired of me. I’m good at following any instructions you may have for your pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
Jeanne has looked after our 3 cats a few times now, and has been great! One of the cats is newly diabetic so it's critical for him to get insulin shots every 12 hours and eat correctly, so I had been nervous to leave him for even 1 day, but Jeanne has done a great job with administering his meds so I feel ok now when away. We trust her with our cats and would have no hesitation recommending her to others needing a cat sitter. I'm sure we'll ask her to watch after our kitties again!
Alissa is a gem! She is so kind, and genuinely cares about making sure your pets are safe and loved while you're away! She is incredibly communicative, and was very helpful in clarifying details for her visits. The daily pictures were such a sweet touch and really helped me feel connected to my cats while I was gone. It was my first experience using Rover, and I am incredibly grateful that Alissa was my sitter! Highly recommend Alissa - thank you!
Olivia was wonderful! I could tell right away that she took great care of my boys and kept everything so clean. I know my cats can make quite a mess around their food and litter every day, so coming home to those areas spotless was such a nice surprise! She was very punctual, and I loved receiving their little daily report cards and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely hire Olivia again!
We will absolutely use Lacy in the future. She was great at sending pictures and communication while we were away. She was always on time and provided that extra love and attention needed while we were gone. You would be lucky to have Lacy take care of your pets.
Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!
If you on the hunt for a sitter but you’re apprehensive because you want to find someone who authentically enjoys your pets as much as you do, goes the extra mile at every visit and is someone you can place your full trust in with your pets and in your home when you’re away, Paris is that person. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Vista is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,523 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Vista. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vista. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
