About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
About: Hello future clients and furry friends! I’m Katherine and I can assure you I have all the experience you’re looking for considering I have 3 fur babies of my own! I’ve loved caring for animals since I can remember and have since revolved my entire life around it. From taking care of my own pets to working at a dog groomer salon to now working at a veterinary clinic! Working around pets for so long definitely has it’s perks from dealing with pumped up pups and comforting sleepy seniors. Big or small, adapting is never an issue for me! I’m also CPR certified for all sizes! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a veterinary clinic so this would be mainly for the hours/days I’m not working! My schedule is pretty set so working out a timed schedule wouldn’t be a problem for me! For anyone that’s curious this is my current work schedule: Monday,Tuesday, and Thursday~ 2pm-7pm Wednesday and Friday~ 8am-2pm I have quite a bit of experience on working in other homes! I respect boundaries and I always bring my own personals so you don’t have to worry about a thing! :)
About: I have loved and lived with cats my entire life, at one point caring for four at the same time! Because of this, I believe I speak fluent cat. I’ve raised and cared for cats at every stage of life, from kittens to senior cats and sick ones, all with very different needs. I am also skilled at giving cats medication if they are receptive to it. Whether your kitty is super cuddly or spicy and needs their space, your babies are completely safe and understood with me. Beyond caring for your pets, I will be 100% respectful of your home. You can completely trust me to keep your space clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost care and respect! As a student on summer break, I have an incredibly open and flexible schedule! I am completely free to watch over your pets, drop in for multiple visits throughout the day, or stay overnight to keep them company. Whether your cats love interactive play, brushing, and cuddles, or prefer to just chill from a distance, I meet them where they are. I keep water bowls fresh, clean the litter box daily, and strictly stick to their feeding schedules; which I know is especially crucial for older cats. I'm also completely fine with handling barf cleanup. To give you complete peace of mind, I will stay fully communicative, updating you throughout my visits and sending plenty of daily photo/video updates of your sweet babies.
About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.
“Very trustworthy and would definitely recommend Jen. She paid a couple of drop in visits to look after our cat Bella and we could not be happier with the service Jen provided. Not only did she pay attention to all the details we left her but she also gave excellent recaps after each visit. It's clear she's a genuine animal lover and our cat (who is usually shy) was comfortable approaching her.”
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs for the past 30 years. Neighbors, friends & family have trusted me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I will treat your pet like a member of my family. I look forward to meeting you and your baby! 🥰 I am currently not working so I will have all the time and attention to care for your pet. I am very flexible and trustworthy. They will get the ultimate pampering from me! I have a fenced in yard and close to a dog park. I will make sure they get plenty of love and exercise. You will not regret your decision to let me love & care for your pet.
About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my whole life! Having just moved to California from New Hampshire, I wanted to give Rover a try to meet people, meet some furry friends, and get some exercise in. I have worked previously in animal shelters and fully believe that animals all deserve to be loved and cared for, no matter what. I have experience with selective dogs as well. I’m very accommodating to whatever you and your fur babies need to be safe and comfortable! * I’m available Monday through Friday between the hours of 7am to 4pm * Rover is my full-time job so I’m very flexible * Holidays may vary Owning a reactive dog myself, I understand how important precarious measures are! I will do whatever is needed to ensure the best care for your fur babies! Whether it be a walk, play time in a fenced area, or a couch cuddle to give them some company!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since 1997; from dogs/cats-reptiles/fish & I was taught to treat them with just as much care, love & respect that you’d give a child. I’m familiar with their care, needs & certain levels of training. That being said, I hope to have the chance to meet yours & care for them while you're away! I currently work from home & have had some extra time on my hands. I recently came across Rover & thought it would be a perfect way to invest my spare time in an intentional/purposeful & financially lucrative way. I can work around most schedules, whether that’s weekends, early mornings or evenings. The best part about animals is that they’re all so different & unique in their own special way; which calls for a different level of care from pet-pet, not 1 animal is the same in my opinion. All that to say, I’m willing to adapt to anything/everything your pet may need while you’re away & hope to hear from you soon!
About: What sets me apart is my background in healthcare combined with real, hands-on experience owning a high-energy dog. As a nurse, I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and calm in any situation. I’m trained to monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and recognize subtle changes in health or mood—skills that translate directly to exceptional pet care. I currently work as a nurse, but I have Wednesdays and weekends completely available for pet care. I’m available for overnight stays as needed, as well as evening drop-in visits throughout the week. My flexible availability allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Whether you need someone for a quick evening check-in, a full day of care, or overnight companionship, I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual needs and schedule. I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each pet, whether in my home or yours. My home includes a fully fenced yard, plenty of supervised play, a kennel for crate-trained dogs, and one very friendly, neutered dog. Safety, cleanliness, and positive interactions are always a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. (For cats I will only do care in your home to ensure safety of your cat as my dog has not been around cats)
“We were so happy with the care our dog received from Rylie. She went above and beyond with our golden retriever. We were on a 9 day vacation and she came three times a day and walked our dog once a day. We weren’t expecting our dog to get sick while she was here and have several accidents around our house. She handled the situation very professionally. She didn’t complain or get upset. She took care of it without any hesitation. She even went to the store and bought her more food and pumpkin to calm her belly. It worked out and she felt better and we were so relieved that we didn’t have to worry about our dog while in her care. I highly recommend this sweet young lady to anyone looking for a competent and loving dog sitter.”
“Jerri did a great job playing with Kianna while my wife and I were out on a long trip. Jerri provided photos and videos to keep our mind at ease that our little elder cat was have fun and had good company”
“Jesselle took wonderful care of Douhua, and all the photos we received showed how happy and comfortable Douhua was. When we first met, she introduced me to the cats she was caring for at her place and clearly knew each cat’s personality and special needs. She’s very patient and responsible, and Douhua was so well cared. Highly recommend!”

“Over the moon happy with Rachel. She did a great job handling our many cats and foster cats too. My house was cleaner than I left it too. All the cats loved her. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: Cats will always be my favorite, but I absolutely love animals! I have watched friend’s and family’s dogs and cats over the years, either dropping in, house sitting or bringing them home with me. Play time is always the best time! I can do it any day of the week as long as I am in town. All of my jobs are at will, so I am able to choose when I want to work which makes me very flexible! I just recently moved back to the bay area from Texas and I am ready to help with your fur babies. Unfortunately I do not have my own house anymore, I live with a friend so I am unable to accept boarding requests. I can definitely come check on your fur babies or house sit any time though!
About: After taking some time away from pet sitting, I recently moved back home and knew I wanted to start doing something I genuinely missed and loved — caring for animals! I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and love how much personality and emotion they’re able to express without saying a word. I have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as pets through Rover, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, feeding schedule, potty needs, energy level, and any special care they may require. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather cuddle up and get belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m patient, affectionate, responsible, and always pay close attention to changes in behavior or anything that seems out of the ordinary. After all, they’re family members, too, and they deserve all the love, attention, and care we can give them. I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness and care I would want someone to give my own!
About: I adore animals. I've had dogs and cats around my whole life, I'm the first person my family goes to for help when they go on trips. Willing to work with any creatures 😁 I work full time Monday through Friday, we can always chat about my schedule if you need! I'm normally home on weekends so I'm looking to fill the rest of my schedule. I live with my parents still so I can't bring pets into my home, but we have a husky malamute who we've trained to not eat our cats or rats!
“Angelina checked in a few times on our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was awesome and put a lot of effort into earning their trust, which I really appreciated! Both cats are skittish around strangers but by the end of the weekend they were out of hiding for her. We would definitely recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,303 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Altamont. 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
