Emily has been walking our dog for a few months now and also just did some drop in visits with our cat. Our pets are anxious and Emily is amazing with them. She is very thoughtful, thorough, patient, and communicative. Couldn’t ask for more!

Stefanie is the best. She takes great care of my rambunctious 2 frenchies and they adore her. She's very conscientious and prompt and I know my pups are getting attention and being well cared for.

Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Luka, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!

About: We only watch 1 families dog(s)/pets in our home at a time. No other pets are present when yours is here, so your pet(s) gets all the attention and you don’t have to worry about other animals. Love to go on a nice walk, but we don’t go to dog parks. We prefer to walk around, exploring & letting the dogs check things out. Each night between 8-10pm, during boarding or house sitting, I will send you a summery of what happened that day with pictures, so you can feel assured your pup is being properly taken care of and protected and loved on. My Husband and I work as a team to provide the best care possible! . Doggy Daycare hours are anytime between 6:30am-6:30pm. If you need longer than that, you will need to book a boarding day instead after we have agreed to the additional hours. I do work from home and I have lots of free time so I am able to take breaks and hang out with your pet(s). For ALL new clients, regardless of services wanted, we will ALWAYS ask for a meet and greet at a local park, prior to watching your dog. This assures we are a good fit and your pup(s) will enjoy being with me and my Husband. . Drop off and pickup rates are within a 10 mile radius of my home. If you are over 10 miles, I will modify to reflect the additional mileage and/tolls.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a very young child, and my first ever dog was also the most medically complicated dog ever. She required a twice daily walk at minimum for 2-3 miles due to her energy, but she also had a lot of different allergies, which meant that after every walk, I had to give her either a bath or good cleaning of the paw and face. I can easily take your dog on a very, very long walk or run, and will give them the utmost love and cuddles after it all. I can drop by or stay overnight at any house and can easily adjust my schedule regarding personal activities to make sure your pet(s) have tons of attention. While I do not have pet first aid certifications, I have held a Red Cross certifications for first aid and blood borne pathogens prevention. I also have a picky kitty who needs his medicines to be hidden within his food or given to him directly, so I have practice with that as well.

Jessica was great! She was a great communicator and kept me updated with photos and videos so I could see my little fur angel while away. She even went above and beyond by offering to water my poor plants that I had just traumatized after repotting them! Jessica arrived right on time for our meet-and-greet and clearly understood how cats operate — giving Ree space to come to her first. I felt comfortable with Jessica knowing my cat (and plants!) were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy. Availability: 7 days a week (morning through early evening) Service Area: Walnut Creek and nearby neighborhoods Intro Pricing: Half-hour Walks $20–22 · Extended Walks $30–35 · Drop-Ins $15–18 · Overnights $65–85 Contact me through Rover to schedule your Meet & Greet today! I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.

Tatiana went above and beyond and took such great care of our cats Pepper and Nori - as if they were her own! Our cats received so much love and attention- and they were very relaxed when we came home. She helped make sure we could enjoy our trip stress free. Do yourself a favor and hire Tatiana and your kitty will fall in love with her, just like our cats did! 😻🫶

About: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

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. I’d absolutely book Emily again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾

Dede was fantastic! She took great care of my boys, and was swift with a potty accident that happened after we left. Our eldest, Bilbo, has a tendency to show his disproval that way... but Dede was a trooper! She kept us updated on their temperaments the whole time we were gone. They absolutely loved her company! We came back and it was like we were never gone, they welcomed us without giving us the cold shoulder, couldn't be happier with how well Dede took care of them :-).

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bancroft on Rover is $36.63 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,217 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 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 Bancroft. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
