Nina & Leo did an excellent job taking care of our 2 cats when we are out. They sent a lot of good quality photos and videos during each visit. I will recommend them to any pet owner.

Megan took excellent care of my two cats! Great communication, reports with lots of pics, and I came home to healthy, happy cats. A+++, I would rebook any time.

Had to ask Rachel last minute to look after my cat after a 7 hour flight delay. She responded quickly and was able to drop by immediately to take care of my cat! Great response time and glad I could rely on her in a pinch.

About: I grew up with dogs and hamsters as a kid, but my love for animals didn’t end there. I raised and trained two dogs from puppies to adult. I volunteered at the SPCA socializing cats. I adopted and raised cats from kitten to adult. I currently have a 15 yr old and two 2.5 yr old cats. I have helped dog sit and cat sit for friends over the years and fostered several litters of dogs and a few cats. I love animals and will ensure yours gets the attention, care and time they deserve. I’m currently a teacher on summer break . I’m traveling for some of June but around in July with low key plans around the area. I’d fit my plans around your fur baby’s needs. I will follow the needs you share of your pets and your expectations , and use my skillset to connect with your animals at the level they are comfortable with.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets, growing up with both cats and dogs in my family. This constant companionship has given me a deep understanding and love for animals. I have specific experience with cats that have anxiety and aggressive behavior, learning to care for them with patience and understanding. While living in Batumi, Georgia, I volunteered to help stray dogs, feeding them and working to find them homes. This experience not only reinforced my passion for animal care but also equipped me with the skills to handle different pet behaviors and needs. I have an open schedule, so I’m available for daily walks and can stay with your pets at home for a couple of days if needed. I’m flexible and ready to fit pet care into my routine, ensuring your pets get the attention and care they need. I offer personalized care for pets both in clients' homes and during walks. At Home: - Feeding and Hydration: Ensure your pets have fresh food and water according to their schedule. - Companionship: Spend quality time playing and keeping them company to reduce anxiety. - Cleanliness: Maintain a clean environment by handling litter boxes, pet bedding, and any messes. - Medication: Administer medications as required. During Walks: - Exercise and Fun: Provide engaging walks tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs. - Safety First: Always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses and being vigilant about surroundings. - Behavior Management: Handle any behavioral issues with patience and positive reinforcement techniques. I customize my services to meet the specific needs and routines of your pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

About: I spoil the pets I care for. Your dog gets exercise and genuine companionship. Your cat gets a safe, entertaining environment where they’re actually the center of attention. I’ve loved my own Maltese Poodle for six years and my British Shorthair cat is basically my child, that’s the energy I bring. No rushing, no distractions. Just real care that makes your pet feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I keep a flexible schedule and I’m selective about bookings so I can give your pet the attention they deserve. Weekdays, just give me 3 hours notice. Weekends, 24 hours ahead lets me plan properly. Your pet’s comfort and safety are everything to me! Every pet parent and pet is different, and I adapt to what works for you both. If you have a specific routine or instructions, I’ll follow them to a tee — I want your pet to feel safe and secure. Or if you’re more laid back, I’m totally happy to just give them love, attention, and great care. Either way, you can relax and actually enjoy your trip knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m clean, professional, and super communicative — you’ll get tons of photos and updates throughout, so you’re always in the loo

Regina is amazing with our zoo. We have three larger dogs that each have different preferences for play. She makes sure all three get the attention they need and have some good play time. She even started helping us train one of the dogs to file her own nails! Regina also does walks with the dogs and they are always so excited to see her and have a great time. She is thoughtful, reliable, a great communicator, kind, and patient! I would definitely recommend Regina for any of your pet care needs!

Thien-Nha is absolutely wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found her. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind. Even my super shy kitty came out of hiding to say hello when Thien-Nha came over. I feel she really goes above and beyond for our pets and that is simply invaluable. Will definitely hire her again for our next trip.

We had a wonderful experience working with Justine! We were nervous to leave our kitty at home for the first time but she immediately put our minds at ease. She proactively reached out for info ahead of time, was prompt for visits, sent us photos, and even offered to help with other things around the house while we were away. She was kind and patient with our shy kitty and followed the instructions we left. We'll definitely book Justine again when we need a Rover. Thank you, Justine!

About: I'm open to most types of pet sitting and have a hybrid work approach so more often than not am able to stay for the majority of the day with your furry child! I love walking in general, playing with dogs, cats, and appreciate that every pet has their own personality. Pet setting has always been a source of joy in my life and creating long standing relationships with families and their pets. It is such an amazing feeling to be treated with a wagging tail or a tail straight up depending on the pet :) and know that sending photos of their fur friend is bringing peace of mind to a family. I understand how much a pet means and am willing to go the extra mile to fit your families needs. I'm a graduate student getting a masters in clinical psychology in the evenings, which means I am available most days of the week and weekend during the day. I know I'm in good company here in saying that I treat my own cat like she's a part of my family. With any animal I'm taking care of I do my best to adhere to the schedule that the pet is used to in an effort to maintain a sense of normalcy when their family is away from them. I usually like to get to know what each pet likes and make sure we are trying to do some of their favorite activities to make their time positive. I make a concerted effort to keep the home neat and tidy each day so that the pet is also feeling clean and comfortable, but also so that the owners know that I respect not only their pet but their home. Depending on the preference of the owner I find it fun to send a small daily update which includes a photo and how the pet is doing overall.

About: We’ve fostered around 20 pups and volunteered at a senior center with our pup, bringing comfort and joy to others. These experiences shaped our calm, patient, and loving approach to every dog we care for, with 20+ repeat clients. We both work remotely from home, which means your dog will have constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs in care are never left alone for long periods and settle into a relaxed, home style, cozy routine. We focus on providing a calm, peaceful environment. Dogs are treated like family, enjoying neighborhood walks, playtime, naps, and quiet time. Only accepting calm, well mannered dogs who are comfortable sharing space and not prone to resource guarding, which helps maintain a safe and stress free home. The home is set up for comfort and calm, providing extra dog beds in multiple areas, cozy resting spots, and a variety of toys and enrichment items to keep dogs comfortable and engaged. Dogs are free to relax, play, nap, and move around at their own pace. Because we work remotely, pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine and, with always being home, allows for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Plenty of grassy areas and walking paths near our residence, making outdoor time easy and enjoyable. The schedule is structured but flexible, adjusting to each dog’s energy level and normal routine. Available on weekdays and weekends, can accommodate extended stays, and aim to support last minute bookings when possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our home is clean, calm, and well supervised, and the dogs are never left unattended. We follow each pet’s routine closely and introduce dogs thoughtfully to maintain a peaceful environment. We take dogs out for frequent potty breaks and daily walks, always with safety in mind. Crate if requested, but most dogs relax freely indoors with cozy spaces to rest. To help you feel confident and connected, we provide daily photo and video updates, and we're always happy to send additional photos, videos, or text updates on demand. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. We also recommend a meet & greet prior to boarding to ensure we’re a great fit and that your dog feels comfortable in our home.

Alex is a phenomenal pet sitter! I booked him for drop-in visit for my cat, El Gato, and he exceeded all expectations. He was highly communicative, incredibly punctual, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. El Gato can be very selective and a bit difficult with new people, but he warmed up to Alex immediately and genuinely enjoyed his visit. Alex made sure to send great updates and great pictures, giving me total peace of mind while I was away. If you want a sitter who will genuinely care for your pet and treat them like family, look no further than Alex. I will be booking with him again!

Tillana is seriously a cat whisperer. We have two cats who are usually wary around strangers but to our very pleasant surprise, they both quickly warmed up to her from the very first meeting!! I think it made a huge difference that she’s detail-oriented. Prior to the first visit, she asked a lot of questions about the cats’ personalities to be best prepared and really wowed us with her memory recall about our cats’ likes/dislikes during the first visit. During that visit, she came in with calm, gentle, friendly energy and our cats really responded positively to that. They immediately let her pet them and even gave her little licks!! They’ve never done that before to someone new! Every day she sent us beautiful, thoughtful updates that really made us feel at ease while we were away. Every update put big smiles on our faces and we felt so comfortable knowing that our fur babies were in such trustworthy, capable hands. Tillana is such a warm, kind-hearted person and I think it really shows through how receptive pets are towards her. We feel truly lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend to her to anyone looking for exceptional, top-tier level of care.

Marilyn is the absolute best! We have a senior kitty named Zelda who is on a daily medication. Right before we left for an international trip we needed to find someone quickly who felt comfortable giving a senior kitty medication, but would also help give her the love and attention she needed while we were gone for an extra long trip. Marilyn had no fear and quickly picked up the task! Marilyn was very knowledgeable on the medication and found ways to help give Zelda the medication comfortably. She also sent us so many amazing photos and daily reports so I knew exactly how Zelda was doing. Marilyn is simply one of the best humans and we will definitely be booking again with her in the future!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Atherton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Atherton on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,475 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Atherton. 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 Atherton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
