“Micki really cares about my cats. I recently went out of town while one of them was not feeling well. She gave me updates on his progress and provided suggestions for his recovery. I was so worried before I left but I knew he was in good hands. She's the best!”
About: I’ve had hand-on experience as well caring for my neighbors dog since she was a puppy. I helped look after her regularly by spending time with her and keeping her company as well as looking over her when needed. I’ve learnt the patience, attentiveness, and consistency that’s is required for a dog’s individual needs especially witnessing it from puppyhood when she could be carried easily up to when she’s heavy to hold up. Im currently working part-time with flexibility for your pets! Tuesdays and Sundays are totally free, and afternoons are generally always welcome to set appointments together. I prioritize heavily on making pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’ve careful to follow each pet parent’s instructions, keeping doors and gates to close attention, and making sure all parts of their routine, for, water, walks, playtime are all handled as recommended.
“Andrea is an awesome pet sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! She did drop ins to check on our two young cats while we were gone and gave them lots of care. She always posted great pictures and notes from her visits and it made it so nice to see our cats while we were away. Thanks Andrea!!!”
About: I began pet (and house) sitting for others at the age of 15 and have continued on and off for the last 25 years. Many close friends have pets I watch regularly, from seniors to puppies/kittens, big to small, rescues and designer alike. I've had pets of my own for most of my life. We got our first puppy when I was nine years old - a yellow lab / Collie mix who I wanted to name Skunk due to the white stripe down his forehead. But the family prevailed with the name Buddy (and I later agreed it fit him perfectly). Buddy lived 16 long years and taught me everything a young person needs to learn... responsibility, compassion, unconditional love, and eventually letting go. We still remember his toothy grin whenever he was caught being naughty. In my mid-20’s we rescued a tiny kitten from the streets while living overseas. After that first can of tuna on a rainy night, Nuni became family and gave us joy and companionship for 10 years across two continents and several big cities, ultimately settling down with me in Sonoma county for her last chapter. Her head-butt nuzzles were the best. Four years ago a human came into my life along with her canine companion, Atlas. I began caring for Atlas on weekends when his (human) mom was away and we bonded quickly. Towards the end of his life, I was his nearly full-time caregiver, administering multiple medications, cleaning up accidents, tailoring walks and playtime to his worsening arthritis, and doing all the things in between to give him a good quality of life. I'll treat your pets with as much love and attention as if they were my own. I work part-time doing handywork and gardening while also restoring our older home, so I have flexible time in between to spend on pet care. I'm a detail-oriented person and am happy to follow specific plans for your pets' needs. Generally, I enjoy spending time with animals and look to engage in activities that fits each individual. Safety is always top priority and I try to be prepared as best as possible.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I’ve always had a dog or a cat growing up. I’ve dog sat for my aunt when she on vacation traveling since I was 18 years old. She had dogs from Dalmatians to mawltises to hound dogs and boarding collies. I’ve had rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs and cats growing up. I’ve even taken care of birds and reptiles. I just love animals and I love taking care of them. I feel if the world lived life more like a dog the world would be a way better place. I’m a store manager for shell gas station so I have lots of flexibility with my schedule and what hours I want to work. But I mainly work Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and four hours on the weekend. I have a dog door with a fenced in yard as well as garage with a dog door in it so i can separate if need be. I also have a aunt that live less than five minutes away that can always drop by and check on them as well. I live in a very safe area in an HOA community with a park around the Corner. Quiet street, with very little bother. I have a fence in yard with dog door, garage and gates. I have a dog super friendly as well as two cats super friendly. I do have the ability to keep cats separated as I have an up stairs room I can keep them in or the garage. But all my pets are friendly and good with other animals.
About: I am a fish biologist, but love all animals. I am new to Rover, but my friends and coworkers regularly rely on me to care for their pets. I have cared for dogs with special needs, such as epilepsy, senior dogs and puppies. I have done basic dog training courses with my 30 lb tripod dog and volunteered walking dogs at my local shelter. I will treat your furry family member with love and care! I work remotely from 8-4:30 pm most weekdays, so I’m available to provide attention and fun for your pet most of the day. I usually go to the office on Mondays and Thursdays, but have flexibility to accommodate if your pet cannot be alone for 8 hours. I am an active person and would love to take your dog to the park or beach or for walks on trails, if they do well in those settings. If your dog is lower energy, I can match that energy too! I am excellent at following directions and will follow your pets normal schedule. I am observant and will pay attention to your pet’s well-being. You can expect clear and consistent communication if you trust me with your furry family member. I am happy to take your dog for multiple walks a day and accommodate special food or medication schedules. I am a respectful, clean, non-smoker, in my 30s. I work from home on weekdays, so would just require internet access.
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my cat Scrub while I was away this past weekend. As soon as I met. Krista, I felt that we had found someone who would care for Scrub just as I would and with the need for her new medications it was really comforting to realize that there would be someone there to take care of Scrub with the same care that I would. I would recommend Krista to anyone without hesitation and look forward to working with her again. Thank you so much! Krista, you really made my weekend much less stressful and I thank you for that. Peace Jeff and Scrub”
“Jenn took great care of my cat Tuna while I was away. During a very hot weekend, she made sure my indoor/outdoor kitty had access to the house. She let me know how Tuna was doing throughout the weekend. I would definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Lizeth visited my senior cat Willie for 10 days while I was away on vacation. She was very reliable and responsible and sent me pictures and a note every day! She certainly connected with him and he was well cared for. I am grateful to have connected with her and will definitely use her services again!”
“Angelina was great! I really can not think of one thing that I was not happy with. She kept me updated on my kitty and sent pictures. I came home to an immaculate home. She even did some light grocery shopping for my return home. Wow, I thought this was so thoughtful. Thank you, Angelina, for letting me enjoy my vacation knowing that I had left everything in good hands. 👏”
About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .
About: I have had cats/dogs my entire life and am extremely comfortable caring for all types of pets. My love and passion for animals shines through. I have ample time to care for your fur babies. I am available on weekends as well. I am in town for the next few months and have very flexible availability. I provide lots of quality time, treats, stimulation, and love! I am very open to any requests/special needs your pet has. I will provide the best care possible!
“Lexi did an excellent job taking care of our kitty Theo and also housesitting for us. She is kind, attentive and very conscientious. She sent updates and photos each day for us. She took excellent care of our home, everything was clean and tidy upon our return. We knew Theo was in great hands. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely hire her again.”
About: I work at an emergency animal hospital and have a ton of experience with animals. I love cuddling and being around pets ❤️ I’m going to school for an animal related career and work with animals. Would love to spend time with your pets I spend most my days around pets as I work at an animal hospital. Always trying to expand my knowledge and make more friends in the process Making sure a pet feels comfortable is key so watching their mannerisms is very important to me. Being slow and patient goes a long ways but love to play
“Emily took such great care of my 2 cats! One of my cats is a bit shy and takes time to warm up to strangers, but immediately was playing and cuddling with Emily. It made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were so safe and well taken care of while I was gone :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Barlow
Micki is the best! She went above and beyond taking care of our kitten. She is a great communicator and enjoyed reading her daily pet updates along with receiving daily photos and videos. She is also creative as far as keeping our cat both entertained and well exercised. Our kitty looks forward to the next time we are out of town.
Excellent! I really appreciated Holly's concern for Gray and extra search efforts in getting my wayward cat back into the house, after I foolishly let her out before my trip. Holly became good friends with Gray, gave her lots of affection and noticed issues with Gray's cat food which I had not. Holly also offered to evacuate Gray if needed during the recent Sonoma County fires. I recommend Holly to anyone who wants a caring and conscientious pet sitter. She did a wonderful job :-)
Sarah was amazing!! I have two very shy cats and she won them both over with kindness and patience. They both love her!! And I loved her care for the house, great questions and videos that she sent with every visit! I never worried once while on vacation—that’s how good she is!!
Melissa is a star and our cat loved her. Our cat is diabetic and needed insulin shots, which Melissa took care of with ease. She sends lovely updates and keeps a keen eye on your fur babies, even if it’s a quick drop-in session. We were hoping to find a regular pet-sitter and are so glad we found Melissa!
Elika was perfect for our Puma! She checked in with me every visit with details of Puma's feeding, water and pee and pooh activity. Elika was responsible, respectful and cautious in our home. We arrived home to our well cared for pet, that was happy to see us! When we need a sitter for Puma, Elika is the sitter for us!! Thanks again for your service, Jill

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Barlow is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
