“I am very happy with the way Komal took care of my dog. She sent pictures and kept me informed of how my dog was doing. Komal is very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!”
About: I love all animals! I grew up with dogs and even owned a couple reptiles. Currently, I care for one boxer and two cats. My animals range from sleeps-all-day to playful and high energy, so I will be able to handle any pet personality. I love all my friends’ pets and yours will be no exception! I’m currently on summer break and have plenty of time to play with your pets! Contact me and I will do my best to make any time work. The necessities of dog and cat care are routine for me, but I will be sure to pay close attention to any special care needs or requests left by owners.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicholas and Sarah are absolutely incredible! From the moment we met them, we knew our sunshine bear was in the best hands. They were punctual, responsible, and went above and beyond to love on our pup all week long. We especially appreciated the regular updates and sweet photos that kept us at ease while we were away. Could not recommend them enough — truly the kind of sitters every pet parent hopes to find!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. Growing up, my family had a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, horses, and rabbits, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. During my time at CSU, I’ve continued that passion by fostering three puppies and a couple of cats over the past few years. This gave me hands-on experience with everything from young, high-energy pets to helping animals adjust to new environments. I also regularly help care for my roommate’s dog and cat, so I’m used to day-to-day responsibilities like feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I truly love animals and being around them is part of my everyday life—I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I’m currently a CSU student and work during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends. That said, I do have some flexibility during certain weekdays depending on my class and work schedule, so feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if I can make something work! I focus primarily on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed, stay in safe areas, and get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I always take time to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, especially when their owners are away. I’m very attentive to details and will follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications, feeding schedules, or behavior preferences. I also make sure your home is respected and left exactly how I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands!
“Sahar took wonderful care of our little cat and did everything we asked. She arrived on time, followed all of our feeding instructions, and kept the litter box clean. We would happily have Sahar pet sit for us again and highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our cat, and Nicole was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure he wasn’t lonely and kept him engaged during each visit. Her communication was excellent, and she carefully followed all of our instructions, which gave us peace of mind and made our trip so much more relaxing. I would highly recommend Nicole!”
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”
About: Hi I am a frequent foster for multiple rescue agencies. Also I have a dog, Andre, who is my baby , and 3 cats, Daffanie, and Moo are my girls and Simba is my naughty boy. I have had pets all my life and am very experienced with pet care. I have cared for dogs through the Task Rabbit app. and I have senior neighbor's that I take care of their dogs. I walk, wash and administer meds as needed. I love spending snuggle/pet time with the pups, I give a great belly rub. With my foster dogs I have corrected resource guarding issues, potty trained, and have trained basic manners, sit,stay,come and not to jump up on people. I am confident and comfortable with dogs. I am available to stay all day at your house. I do all gig work so my time is flexible. I do have a older couple I help twice a week but that is only 2-3 hours twice a week. My yard is fenced and if you have a small dog I stay on the porch with the little ones that could slide through the porch railings. If I am at your house I follow your house rules. If you have a puppy/puppies I will crate them or if you have the puppy enclosure I will put them in there if I need to leave the room.
About: My name is Georgia and I love all types of animals especially dogs. Ever since I was 14, I had my first dog I've been taking him for walks and taking good care of him until we got another dog, I'm really good at taking multiple dogs on walks I'm very patient with them and I love their company. I am very patient with cats as well I'm very calm with them since I pet sat cats for 10+ years and I always make sure that they are happy both dogs and cats or whatever animal you have I'll make sure they're happy. I'm free all the time so taking care of pets is going to be easy I put animals over everything I adore them so much Safety and building trust in a dog's environment is very important. We have a huge yard at my house and I live on a private road in the country, I keep my dog on a leash outside.
“Ayla did a great job taking care of Spikey for me and provided very cute photo update whenever she was over. She also kept Spikey company during fire alarm inspection which I really appreciated.”
About: Woof Woof Woof Meow Meow Meow I have pet sat for friends and family and would love to extend that service to my bay area neighbors. Love taking dogs for walks or to the local parks such as Fort Funston or McLaren Park. I have a skittish indoor cat, Spikey(5yr American shorthair), who is initially very shy but usually warms up to people. Checking in on cats and cleaning litter boxes is not new to me. Just want to treat your fur baby with the love, care and respect I would use to treat my own fur babies. Woof Woof Woof Meow Meow Meow I have partial work from home schedule, going into the office 2-3 days a week. Commute time is only 5 mins to Oyster Point in SSF, so can easily pop back in for a lunch time walk if needed. Your fur babies will have free roam of the living room with views of the bay and any birds outside. Best if puppies are crate trained for the night. If you are dropping off multiple pets I can separately feed them if needed.
“Elizabeth will definitely be my first call next time I go out of town! She sent cute pictures and helpful updates throughout my trip and I came home to the most content cat. Thank you for taking such good care of him!!”
“Eric was flexible and reliable, and was willing to administer medicine. He completely charmed our shy senior kitty. Lots of cute photos showed she was happy being petted and brushed while we were away. We highly recommend Eric!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, and I treat every pup like they’re part of the family. I’m the go-to sitter for friends and relatives whenever they need someone they can trust, as whether it’s giving medication, following a meal routine, or making sure your dog feels safe, I’m always fully focused on what each dog needs. Your pet’s health and happiness are my top priority every time. Even with a busy school schedule, caring for dogs is a natural part of my day. I always make time for it. I take my own dog Daisy out every evening, and no matter if it's a long hike, playtime at the park, or just a quality walk around the neighborhood, spending time with any dog is the best part of my day. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or evening stay, I make sure every dog in my care gets the time and attention they deserve. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect and care, just like I do with their pets. I follow all instructions to a T, from feeding routines to safety preferences like crating, gates, or leash handling. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space, keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I stay alert to their needs, give them plenty of attention, and always prioritize their safety and well-being. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended sitting, your dog will be in caring, reliable hands.
“I had a last-minute need for someone to check in on my dog due to a flight delay, and Hailey truly saved the day! She responded quickly, was flexible and reliable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process to ensure my dog was well cared for. I’m so grateful to Hailey for stepping in on such short notice and would highly recommend her for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: Since I was a little girl I’ve always had dogs and they bring me so much joy. Almost every dog I've met, we've had a connection and loved eachother! Dogs are like children in my eyes, which means they deserve all the love and kindness in the world! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and can't wait to meet yours :) I currently work Monday-Friday 8am-4:30, but am available to be there early mornings, late afternoon/evenings, and overnight. *ALTERNATIVE OPTION* I will have full price on weekends since I’ll be there the full day, BUT I will give a discount on work days. This will allow extra room in your budget to hire a dog walker or someone to check in while I’m at work and then I will take care of all the hours outside my work shift. I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved. That's why I try to spend as much time with them as possible. Whatever their needs are, I will follow your instructions to a T. Taking excellent care of your pup is of the utmost importance to me, because I know how much they mean to you!
About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my Kids' Country job around 10am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 6:30pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Blackhawk
Overall Paige was pleasant to work with. She was kind and sent some pictures of our cats, and spent the full hour with our pets. We had some concerns about her not adhering to the requested time of day for visits and the amount of food she gave our cats despite our written out directions. Our cats ran out of food less than 4 hours after she left and it should have been enough to sustain them for a full day. When alerting Paige of this she reassured us she would arrive earlier to feed them, but instead showed up almost two hours late. This meant she almost missed the window before the guest access code to our home expired. We appreciate her taking time to play and care for our cats but we do have some reservations about rebooking in the future.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Blackhawk on Rover is $22.2 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 .

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 Blackhawk. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
