“This was our second time using Michele to drop in on our cats. Our older cat absolutely loves Michele, and our very shy kitten even came out to visit her (which is saying a lot!) She always goes above and beyond with sweeping up the litter and cleaning around the food dishes, and leaving great notes. Michele is the best and we will continue to book with her!”

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.

Alexandra was reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely caring. I felt completely at ease knowing Nala was in her hands. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

About: I work from home, which means your pet gets something most sitters can't offer: a human who's actually there all day. I do house sitting in your home and drop-in visits across Walnut Creek and nearby areas. I grew up with dogs and cats, have helped friends and family with everything from puppies to senior dogs, and recently welcomed a cat into my own home. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving medication exactly as you instruct — including pets with special routines or medical needs. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's habits and preferences so the routine doesn't skip a beat. While you're away, you'll get regular photo updates so you can see they're relaxed and happy. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits around your pet's routine — not the other way around. For house sitting, I'm there through the day and overnight; for drop-ins, we'll lock in visit times before booking so feeding and walks stay consistent. Your home and your pet's routine stay exactly as you left them. Before we start, we'll do a meet-and-greet to cover temperament, medications, feeding, quirks, and emergency contacts. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I'll send photo updates and messages so you're never wondering how they're doing.

About: My family has owned dogs since I was 8 years old, and we have been a lover of all animals for even longer. Jenn has had both cats and dogs since she was even younger! We currently own two large black Labrador retrievers (ages 11 and 5), one Siberian kitten, 7 hens, and 1 betta fish. I know how animals thrive off of routine, personalized care, and lots of love. We’ve taken care of young and old animals, and even hatched our own chicks. We pride ourselves in following routines, providing personalized pet care, and taking the time to truly get to know your fur babies. Whether your animals and I are spending time on walks, during check ins, or for a more extended stay while house sitting, you can rest easy knowing they are in knowledgeable and skilled hands. We know that we set a high bar for others caring for my animals, and you can expect the same from us. When not taking care of animals, I have spent the last ten years working part time as a labor and delivery nurse. My wife, Jenn, is a paramedic and has owned and cared for animals of all kinds even longer than I have. We are the perfect pair to care for your furbabies I work part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I love hiking and running, so I’m not afraid of an active pooch. My wife works from home part time, and is able to self schedule, so between the two of us, we are easily able to walk, check in on, or do small house siting stints for your animals. Overnights can be trickier for us, but please inquire! I’m happy to implement your animal’s regular routine in your own home! Just let me know all the details, medication schedules, routines, feeding and walking schedules, or little quirks that your animal has and I will make them feel all the love! I know how hard it is to find a good sitter to check in on or house sit with your pets, so I’m happy to also do watering or any other tasks that your home requires. You can rest assured knowing that your home will be well maintained and in order when you return.

About: I've always had a special connection with dogs, and they seem to feel comfortable around me almost immediately, even dogs that are typically shy or timid around new people. During COVID, my cousin got a puppy, and because I was working from home, I spent nearly every day helping care for him. I walked him, fed him, played with him, and provided companionship throughout the day while he learned his routine and grew into a happy, confident dog. As our bond grew, he began staying with me for weeks at a time whenever my cousin traveled. This gave me experience managing a dog's daily schedule, exercise needs, and overall well-being for extended periods. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a trusted companion, I'll make sure they receive attentive, dependable care and plenty of affection. I still work from home, so I am able to provide as much attention as the dog would like. I can provide as many videos, photos, and general updates as needed so you can relax and know they are in good hands. I work from home, so I can come to you and your pet during any day of the week! I am also free during the weekends for overnight stays or even if you would like me to host your animal at my place. I have a 2 story home with a large fenced in backyard. I have a large fenced in backyard and no animals in the house. I can come to you and play with your animal in the comfort of their own home, or bring them over to mine and let them explore without fear that there is another animal that they might not be friendly with.

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. 🐾

Taylor was a wonderful sitter for my cat. He warmed up to her right away, even though he is typically very shy. I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed toward both him and me. Taylor provided wonderful photos and detailed Rover Cards throughout each visit, which was especially reassuring for me. 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. I’d absolutely book Emily again and highly recommend 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
  • 93% 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 , 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.
