“Cade and Isabel are the best! I was so reassured having them care for Pico. They truly cared for him like he was their own! I highly recommend them to others and will be booking them again!”
“Mary Amelia was a fantastic sitter for my two cats! They took to her right away, and I could tell even from the pictures that they were fans of her. She didn’t need to, but she washed the food bowls before she left the last time. Thank you! I 100% recommend her, and I hope I’ll get to request her again soon! Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve owned and walked dogs since I was 7, house sat and pet sat since 2011, and grown up with pets my whole life. I love big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs, all dogs. Helped my grandmother train her border collie and am perfectly happy throwing a stick or ball for a dog for an hour straight. Will also happily curl up with an animal and give them as much love and attention as they need! I’m currently a stay at home parent, so my schedule is very flexible to come walk, feed, care for your pet. I’m available for overnight stays but won’t be able to be at your home all day. My two-year-old accompanies me on dog walks between 8am-6pm, but never on early morning, evening, or overnight visits. I care for pets in your home as per your request. I will only let animals out leash-free if you have a fenced in yard or we are at a dog park. Otherwise, I only take your animal out on a leash.
About: The loss of my very first cat (and best friend) happened because of a neglectful pet sitter. Ever since then, it is my goal to offer the safest and kindest care possible to all animals that I meet. Services Offered: -Tailored in-home pet sitting and visitations based on your pet’s individual needs and routines. -Playtime, interaction, and walkouts for dogs. -Feeding, provision of fresh water, and thorough maintenance of their cages/boxes/litters. -Professionally offering oral medication, treatment, and senior pet care. -Consistent photo and video updates at each visitation. Experience in Pet Care: Many years spent caring for the pets of my relatives, friends, and neighbors provided me with a vast and versatile experience. The experience includes the care of active large breeds, delicate small dogs, nursing vulnerable newborns of kittens, and medication schedules of senior cats. In my teens, people brought stray animals to my place for rehabilitation and treatment. Availability and Schedule: My flexible schedule is possible due to being a full-time student. My classes are carefully scheduled so that my pets will never be left alone for too long. I do not have a job outside of classes which allows for many free hours to see my clients midday, interact and give them personal care. I am a UF student who has class late morning/early afternoon. When I wake up I have a cuddle session with my cat and open the door for his little sister to join him. After I am done with classes I usually study, relax at my house with my cats and recently car train them and socialize them with unsocialized cats. This time is perfect for me to come visit or board a cat at home since I am generally home from 2-3pm until the rest of the day. I live in a cat/kitten proof apartment with a closed patio. There is a lot of toys, and two cat trees. I am very patient with cats and educated on ways to make them as comfortable as possible in a new/ stressful environnement.
“Ariana checked in on my cat while I was gone for a few days. She did a great job, my cat loved having someone to feed her and give her treats. Ariana took great care of her while I was gone and did everything to make my cat feel comfortable. She provided pictures and a detailed report each visit. Would definitely recommend!”

I absolutely love all dogs, and I have experience with caring for big and small dogs alike! I am a graduate student at the University of Florida, so I have flexibility with my days to check in on your pets! I am open to visiting your home to care for your pet or bringing your pet into my own home to care for them! I do not travel much, so I largely have an open schedule. I will happily send you photos of your pets daily! I live in an apartment complex with ample courtyard space for dogs to walk and play. There is also a nearby dog park to take any dogs that I care for. I also have a lovely fenced in back porch that I often let my cat sit outside on.

“Rachel was an excellent cat sitter! She was timely, followed instructions and played and spent time with my cat. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my cat at home for a while. I will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you.”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for domestic animals. I grew up around pets and have cared for animals my whole life, so I’m comfortable with feeding routines, exercise, enrichment, behavior changes, and providing the attention animals need to feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for large-breed dogs, including Great Danes, as well as wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary animal care. I’m patient, observant, reliable, and always happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. As a UF student, my class schedule gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have several mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most of Fridays available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m also able to plan around each pet’s normal routine and will always make sure I have enough time to give them the attention and care they need. I really try to make every pet feel like they’re with someone they can trust, not just someone who’s there to check a box. I’m very attentive to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medications, leashes, doors, gates, and anything else important to their safety. I also live in a very walkable area, so I’m happy to take dogs on neighborhood walks and, with the owner’s permission, to nearby parks for some extra exercise and enrichment. I’m also more than happy to send photos and little updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Peyton is wonderful! You can tell she loves dogs and Finn adored her from the start. She is very responsive, and she was diligent with her questions in order to be best prepared. Highly recommend.”
“Courtney did an amazing job with my two large dogs including my hyper 11 month old puppy! She handled all of my detailed requests very well and sent some awesome pics of my dogs! Anyone considering someone for pet care should pick Courtney!”
“She did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy during the drop in visits. She was attentive, followed all instructions and made sure my puppy was safe and well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend again”
About: I currently own an Australian Shepherd, so i understand the importance of activities and mental stimulation a dog needs to be happy, calm, and healthy. Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I am used to crate training which is needed for my dog when we run errands, as well as making a safe and fun environment for animals so they don't get bored and start being naughty and mischievous.
About: I’m currently studying veterinary medicine. Who can love animals more than a vet! I worked at a dog boarding center for over two years having experience in handling dogs of all sizes. I’m a dog owner myself and also have a pet bunny. I love ALL animals and whether it’s energetic walks or playful companionship, I’m here to make your pets day brighter while giving you peace of mind! Im currently a full time student in college, I do have classes currently every day of the week but the times vary. I’d love to coordinate times between my schedule to help you and your pet! Sadly, I currently can not offer my home to any pets and would not be able to do overnight stays at a clients household. Apologies!
About: As a fourth-year pre-veterinary student, caring for animals is more than just a job, it’s my passion and future career. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Through my education and personal experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. Whether your pet loves to play, prefers a quiet companion, or requires extra patience and attention, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their needs. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week and on weekends. I understand the importance of sticking to your pet’s routine and will do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. Your pet’s safety, health, and comfort are always my highest priorities. My education in animal science has strengthened my understanding of proper pet handling, behavior, and recognizing signs that something may not be right. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care your pet requires while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own family. You can expect frequent updates, photos, and open communication throughout every visit.
About: Ive grown up with dogs, cats, horses, and various other types of animals. Additionally, I’ve worked as a kennel technician with dogs for over 2 years now. During this time I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs from big and small, energetic and calm, and confident or more on the nervous side. I’ve learned the best way to approach every type of dog and how to meet their needs. I go to college and work part time but I have breaks making it easy to stop by and assist your babies. I am in Gainesville full time and have a vehicle making it easy to get around town. I have a passion for approaching animals with love and patience. I think first impressions with animals are extremely important. I always want to make the interactions fun and without tension. I’m very understanding when it comes to fear aggression and anxious dogs. My top priority is to make them feel safe around me and respect their boundaries.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Hills
Evelynn was very kind when I met her during our meet and greet, and she did a wonderful job with my dog Zoe who can be quite reactive and a bit nervous at times. She was very communicative with me and followed all of my directions perfectly! Overall, she did an amazing job with both my animals!
This was our second time using Raegan to drop in on our 2 cats and we highly recommend! She followed all of our care instructions and kept our home clean for when we returned and was very responsive anytime we needed to reach her. We definitely suggest using her for your pet sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Hills is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 November 2026, there are 136 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Hills. 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.

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.
