About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since before I can remember! I’ve befriended dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and temperaments (mostly medium-small breeds but I’m not afraid of big dogs!). My friend who is a professional pet sitter defers to me when they need someone to watch their fur babies (one of which is a reactive cattle breed). I’ve assisted with elderly dogs and helped to raise puppies and kittens from birth. Currently caring for a mother and kitten pair as a rescue effort, and co-parenting 2 lively pups! I am a recent UF graduate with a very flexible/open schedule. Pet visits and walks are a very welcome interruption to the typical daily hustle and bustle. As a caretaker I always try my best to learn the personality of your furry friend. I love getting to know animals and forming positive relationships for the best experience while their owner(s)/people are away. I try my best to keep things neat and tidy and at the very least the same way I found them! I’m more than happy to talk regarding any special instructions or circumstances for your pet or home.
“Best dog sitter I’ve ever had! Sent lots of pictures and very detailed written updates. I came home to very worn out dogs after lots of play with Nerissa! I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Sarah was so great! Highly recommend. She was very professional/prompt and she provided detailed updates that made me so confident that my cats were being well cared for while I was gone.”
“This was our second time hiring Amber to care for our two kitties, and we couldn’t be more grateful. This stay was a bit longer, and she went above and beyond once again. She played with them, bonded with them, and even won over my girl cat—who usually takes a while to warm up—thanks to her patience and kindness. Amber is truly the best! We’re moving soon, and it’s bittersweet knowing we’ll have to find someone new.”
“This was our second time using Rover, and after having some issues with our first sitter, we were understandably nervous. Laura was truly night and day compared to that experience. She was absolutely wonderful! Everything you could hope for in a sitter. We worried all week while we were away, but we came home to two very happy dogs, which says everything. She also took great care of our guinea pig and even brought in our mail, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We would absolutely use Laura again.”
“Lori B was the first time I've used the Rover service. She made my travel worry free by always being in touch and her knowledgeable care of my rather unusual situation with the cats. Excellent.”
“As a business owner in the boarding and dog industry myself, trusting someone to stay in my home and care for my dogs was a huge deal for me — especially since our dogs have quite a few senior and special-care needs. Jonathan absolutely exceeded every expectation. We are definitely “those” pet owners with a million instructions wanting everything done just right, and he handled all of it with patience, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was incredible. Any time I reached out, he responded within minutes, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s very rare to find people you genuinely trust with your home and your animals, but he made the entire experience stress-free. The dogs were well cared for, happy, and all of their special needs were accommodated without issue. Honestly, this experience changed things for us. For the first time, we actually feel like we can travel and enjoy vacations without worrying the entire time. We’re already planning our next trip knowing we have a person we can truly rely on. Highly, highly recommend Johnathan Absolute gems.”
“Courtney went above and beyond!! She was so attentive to my cats and was following up with me every day and made me feel so safe leaving them in her hands! She was just so beyond sweet will rebook with her again!”
“Mary suggested doing a meet and greet with my cat to make sure every box was checked, to ensure that my cat had everything she needed. Mary took great care of my cat and took many awesome photos. I highly recommend booking Mary for your pet. 5/5”
“Haley was wonderful! Very responsive and thorough and was so kind and willing to go out of her way to make an extra visit for an important piece of mail that got delivered unexpectedly. Thank you so much!”
“Sam was amazing!! Came for an introduction before the house visits. Very good with her communication and kept us up to date with how our Kitties were while we were gone. 10/10 will book again!”
“My puppy came back in better shape than I left her. More mature and regulated, as well as freshly bathed. We both learned from the experience, care, and respect we received from these extremely competent sitters!”
“Hannah did an awesome job caring for my dog! She has a fun personality, and is a great match for the energy of my dog. Hannah was great with communicating and sharing plenty of pictures. She is reliable and professional. I'll definitely hire her again! Highly recommend!”
“Great job and so willing and easy to work with. Our babies were taken care of and we couldn’t be more satisfied!! Thank you so much for caring for our girls!! 😊”
“Anne-Katrin took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away. We will definitely use her services again, she is very pleasant and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria has been a tremendous drop-in sitter for our dog, Hunter. Every visit gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring and reliable hands. She consistently checks his food and water, makes sure he’s comfortable, and takes the time to play with him so he feels loved while we’re away. We truly appreciate her communication, and the genuine care she shows. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoofy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕 ◾️ I am a full-time pet-sitter with flexible booking times, so I can accommodate a variety of times to best maintain your pet's/pets' routines! 🗓 ◾️ In-home pet care can work best for many pets, since they are in their most comfortable environment. I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Hills
Hannah was awesome with my cat, Gus! Gus doesn’t like a lot of new people, but Hannah was super chill and assured me they would be buddies by the time I got back from my vacation. She sent me pictures and updates daily and went above and beyond like sweeping the litter Gus loves to kick out of the box.
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!
Isabell was wonderful! Batman and Skye were grateful for Isabel. She also took great care of my mini horse, Baxter and my two goats Billy and Bobby. She sent me pictures every day which was great! Isabel also found a lost dog while she was at my house and found the owner. She is an animal liver for sure!!
Jillian was wonderful with our 5 kitties! She took the time to earn their trust, especially the shy ones. There were several occasions where she stayed longer to brush, pet, and play with them since we were gone for over a week. Our cats seemed happy and healthy when we returned. We'd definitely have her watch our kitties again and highly recommend her for anyone with multiple cats!
Richard went above and beyond caring for our girls, with not only the necessities, but also by giving them more love and attention than we had ever expected. We truly felt peace of mind knowing our girls were in great hands. Richard also made two new furry friends, which was impressive considering how shy our cats usually are, and sent us wonderful pictures at every visit. We are so grateful and more than satisfied! ❤️
Vanessa was an amazing pet sitter! She was very friendly and communicative throughout the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated all the updates and the pictures she sent of Luna and Miles. She made sure to walk Luna every evening and kept up with their routine perfectly. Vanessa was also very punctual with her drop-in visits, always arriving right on time. You can truly tell she cares about the pets she looks after. I would definitely book her again.
It was such a load off our minds to have Lacy check in on our kitties while we were on vacation. She let us know when she would be there and sent lots of pictures and videos of them which was nice when we were missing them! She also helped keeping an eye on things in and around the house. I will definitely use her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Hills on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 397 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 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 West Hills. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
