“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”
About: I’ve been housesitting and taking care of pets for about 10 years. I work remotely full-time so this allows me to spend time with the fur babies and be present. I’m comfortable with anything thrown my way. I have taken care of big and small dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I also have experience administering medicine if needed. I work remotely so I am able to spend loads of time with your fur babies. I’m available every day and any time. I teach dance classes as well but that usually is only twice a week for an hour or so. I will make sure your pets are safe with me and follow any instructions you may leave. I treat your pet as if they were mine and will make sure to check in with you to give you peace of mind, if you wish.
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Eleanna has been dropping in on my border collie Moxie weekly for about a month now and she has been amazing! She is very responsive to my last minute requests, great bios and pictures on Rover cards, always on time, and I can tell she is very caring. Moxie always looks so happy to see her, we will be using her again!”
About: Hi! I’m excited to begin my journey as a pet walker. I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet. I’m responsible, patient, and eager to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. My goal is to provide safe, fun, and stress-free walks that keep your furry friend happy and healthy. I work till around 3 monday- friday and would be willing to check in and go for walks once or twice a day. Open for discussion on making a schedule. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, keep your space clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Nicky is super reliable and responds to requests very quickly. She recently pet sit for our super senior cat on oral meds at the last minute for a long weekend. She sends pictures with her visits and our cat was in great shape when we came home. Thanks, Nicky!!”
“Zoe is communicative, friendly, and got along great with our cat! We would recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter (and have already rebooked her for next week ourselves!)”
“Iryna has looked after our dog multiple times and she has been great with him! He is an excitable lab and she knows exactly how to handle him. She has taken on last minute bookings for us and been flexible with our schedule which is so helpful. She takes him on good walks and always send a photo. Definitely would book Iryna anytime!”
“Maricruz kindly stepped in to cover a day caring for our cats while we were gone! She communicated openly, was careful to follow what I’d asked, and she got one of our shy cats to come out and say hi 🙂 Thank you Maricruz!”
“Alyssa is the BEST! Took such amazing care of my two girls and received pictures and updates multiple times a day! But most importantly, she got my two incredibly shy cats to come out of hiding (which, truly, no sitter has ever been able to do before)!”
“Ashley is professional and very knowledgeable! She is easy to communicate with and transparent regarding care & expectations. We are looking forward to more visits with her soon!”

About: I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, especially if they are older and slower, but I also enjoy energetic puppies and pets that need some training and just need some positive re-enforcement. I am available to House sit - although I don't know how to reflect that on the website. I actively practice positive reinforcement obedience training. My schedule is open now in general but I may do a retreat every so often. I nearby in the Bay Area, my schedule is more flexible. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, since I live in a small place. I am attentive to the needs of the pet and if I see that the pet needs exercise, I make sure they get sufficient exercise through their regular routines.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Alameda
Mellie has watched my cats twice and both times she has been thorough and detailed with her updates. It’s clear to see that she has a passion for working with animals. I will absolutely continue to book with Mellie in the future as I feel confident leaving my cats in her care.
Haylee took amazing care of our cat, Bailey, while we were away for the week. As first-time cat owners, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was in such capable hands. Haylee sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, and it was clear Bailey genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. Seeing Bailey so comfortable and happy made being away much easier. Haylee was organized, professional, and reliable. She also shared helpful tips and advice from her experience with cats, which we really appreciated as new cat parents. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with Haylee again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet as if it were their own.
Stephanie was very communicative with us and great with our cat, who loves both cuddles and play! She took cute photos. She also gave her medication via inhaler and of course food, water, and litter scooping. She didn't hesitate to communicate and then clean up after her when she threw up. We were happy to know our kitty was in Stephanie's capable hands. Thanks so much!
Megan took care of my cat for a full 3 weeks. She kept her fed, cared for & eventually was able to coax her out of the closet to socialize. I got daily photos, updates, and she asked questions as needed to take care of Kava. Coming home my cat was happy, well fed & it took us no time to get back to our regular routine which I believe is thanks to Megan being so consistent & a daily caring touch point for Kava. I will definitely work with her again in the future & HIGHLY recommend!
Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kitties. One is quite shy so she gave me updates on his whereabouts, while the other is extremely friendly and I got loads of cute photo updates on him. Appreciate her taking this request last minute! Would absolutely book again! Thanks!!!
Another amazing experience with Kathy! She always arrives right on time and provides such detailed, attentive care. We especially love the updates and the beautiful pictures she sends, they really give us peace of mind while we’re away. Most importantly, our cat absolutely loves her, which says everything. It’s clear she truly cares. We’re so grateful to have someone we can trust like Kathy!
Ayanna was the perfect pick for my boy’s first Rover! She provided many excellent photos and videos with each visit along with details on his mood, energy level, what he was up to, etc. She was super friendly, easy going, and just as chill as my old man. Highly recommend her stellar sitting services!
Reijun is detail oriented, meticulously neat, and sweet to my 2 cats! She took notes during our meet & greet to make sure she didn't miss any instructions. The cats were happy and our home was neat when we returned from our trip. Would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Alameda on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
