“She is amazing! I booked her at the last minute (literally, I was leaving the next day) and she came over, learned how to give my cat his medication, and then did it perfectly through my trip. My cats immediately loved her, even my cat that doesn’t take to strangers well at all. She even helped solve an issue with my automatic litter box. Will definitely book again~! And, she takes great photos of the cats!”

“Taylor took such good care of my cats! She took all kinds of pictures and followed care instructions perfectly. My cats absolutely adored her too, and they can sometimes take a bit to warm up to people. 100% will rebook with her in the future.”

“Agne did such a wonderful job taking care of my 2 kitties. Although she didn’t have the opportunity to see too much of them since they like to remain hidden, she made sure they were well cared for. She also had to do some ant combat. I highly recommend her for your upcoming cat care. I will be referring her to my cat lady friends.”

“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”

“Michelle came to visit our cat as arranged and provided great care! Our cat takes a while to warm up to new people and we weren't away long enough this time for him to get completely comfortable with Michelle. I really appreciated that Michelle read his cues and offered interaction but backed off when she realized my cat wasn't ready for that. Thanks Michelle!”

About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.

“Jessica took wonderful care of our cats and plants! We were a bit nervous for our first trip out of the country in a couple years- especially as the time change meant we wouldn't be available to answer questions during the check in times- but Jessica knows cats well and made them feel comfortable and loved without extra instruction. One of our cats is shy and hid during the initial visit but Jessica adapted and made sure she still got her food in a cozy corner where she felt safe and let her take her time warming up. A few days in they were friends! She also left detailed reports and pictures for us so we knew all was well. AND she watered plants. I would definitely recommend Jessica if you want to make sure your pets are in good hands.”

“Sierra and Karma stayed at my place a long time (8 days) to take care of my senior kitty that needs more company than just drop-ins. He usually has stranger danger but after just a couple days he was being playful and eating all of his food. Sierra and Karma were very professional and communicative with me while I was out of the country, sending daily text updates and photos. My kitty has some meds and a strict diet so they were really good about being particular like me and following my instructions. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my kitty was taken care of and I trust them. HUGE thank you to Sierra and Karma!”

About: I understand that our pets are our family, so I always aim to care for them with the same empathy and patience that you do. I dedicated my career to becoming an experienced animal welfare professional because I love animals so much! I started working in veterinary settings, then handled rescue intakes and studied dog training. This background gave me the unique ability to truly understand cat and dog body language, ensuring they always feel secure and understood. Whether its managing large dog playgroups or administering basic medical care, I am highly experienced and comfortable with all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m also happy to assist with any other unique pets in your household! I have experience working with exotics in vet clinics but I love all creatures and am happy to care for any non-traditional pets. I look forward to giving your animals a fun, loving, and mentally stimulating routine (: My current work schedule will allow me to be available mornings and early afternoons every Monday through Friday. Generally, anywhere from 7 am - 1 pm. I grew up with animals my whole life and often helped take care of them. Their happiness and love means the world to me, so I always make sure they’re fulfilled. Spending quality time together is important, I love cuddling or just hanging out with them whenever and wherever. I will follow their feeding schedule and always stay alert to make sure I’m there if they need me, so you can rest assured that your beloved babies will be treated well when you’re away.

About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog and cat lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. Our home is a safe, loving, and active environment where pets are treated like family. We have a secure fenced yard for supervised play, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or curling up for belly rubs, we'll tailor their stay to help them feel comfortable and at home. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a fun, stress-free experience for your pet and make them excited to come back for their next visit! Pet care fits naturally into our family's daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule and am only in the office three days a week, while my husband is in and out throughout the day, so there is typically someone home to provide attention, potty breaks, meals, and companionship. Our evenings are centered around walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs, and we make sure they have plenty of opportunities to get outside and stay active throughout the day. On weekends, we're home more often, which means even more time for exercise, cuddles, and fun. We understand how important consistency is for pets, so we do our best to maintain each dog's normal routine and provide a safe, loving environment where they feel like part of the family. When pets stay in our home, they become part of the family. We have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have a friendly, playful dog who loves having canine companions and helps visiting dogs feel welcome, while we always make sure introductions are done safely and at each dog's comfort level. We follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quieter environment with extra cuddles, we tailor our care to meet their individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Regular photo and video updates are always included so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay.

About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With my experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.

About: Ever since I left my childhood home (which was filled with pets of all kinds) I have helped friends and neighbors with they furry family members. I am currently working part time from home and have lots of free time. If you and your pet have preferred times I will be able to stop by when best suited for you! I always follow your cat’s normal routine and your care instructions closely. I’m very careful with doors and entrances, and I’ll make sure food, water, and litter are taken care of at every visit. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, and spicy cats and will always respect their space and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I also have experience giving medication when needed.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience raising animals from their earliest stages. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, and all of my own animals—a dog and two cats—were adopted from shelters and raised by me. This has given me strong instincts for understanding behavior, building trust, and creating a calm, safe environment for animals of all temperaments. I’m especially comfortable with young pets, helping them adjust to new routines, reinforcing positive habits, and providing consistent care. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, or a structured routine. Because I treat every animal like my own, you can count on reliable, compassionate care and clear communication while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m currently not working, I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care any day of the week. I already structure my days around caring for my own dog and two cats—feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining a calm, clean environment—so adding additional pets fits in seamlessly. I’m able to accommodate different routines, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment with plenty of supervision, structured feeding times, and regular walks or play sessions. I’m mindful of introducing pets slowly and only if appropriate, and I make sure each animal has a comfortable space to relax. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and house rules. I keep the space tidy, provide updates with photos, and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to safety at all times—secure leashes, monitoring behavior, and keeping a close eye on health or any changes. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. 🐾

She also handled his slightly complicated meal preparation with ease and demonstrated excellent attention to detail.

Emily was amazing with my cat Teddy! She was friendly, on time, followed all instructions, and truly went above and beyond. Brushing him, playing with him, and giving him lots of attention. After only two visits, Teddy was already on his back asking her for belly rubs, which he NEVER does with strangers. That alone says how comfortable and safe he felt with her.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bancroft

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bancroft is $38 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $55 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 October 2026, there are 6,254 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bancroft. 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. 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bancroft. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 , 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.
