“We had a wonderful experience with Blessy and are more than happy to recommend her! She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things cat-related, and we felt completely at ease leaving our cats, Alex and Lulu, in her care. Blessy is communicative, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very flexible and accommodating, especially when our plans changed and we needed to add extra visits and adjust the dates and times. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our kitties, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after. She even taught one of cats to spin around for his treat!”
“bruno is amazing! very professional and patient. i have an older dog and she requires additional assistance. Bruno has been caring, compassionate, helpful, and reassuring. i highly recommend him.”
About: I’m a loving cat mom of 5+ years with a lifetime of experience caring for cats of all ages. I’m competent in simple dog training and am open to dog-sitting/walking, but cats are by far my specialty. I have proven experience building trust and bonding quickly with new cats, even those with behavioral issues or shy demeanors. I’m a teacher looking for extra summer work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends June-August! I can make up to 5 visits on weekends and 3 visits on select weekdays. I will be nannying part time and will be available before 2pm and after 6pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please message me with any questions! I am soft, gentle and empathetic with all new pets I meet, especially when I’m entering their safe space! My cat was a mean, shy little boy when I adopted him at 7 months; but now at 5 years he’s happy and comfy as can be. I hope to provide this same experience for your pets, whether it be a short drop in or an overnight visit.
“We had Rebecca back to sit for us again and she did a great job. Our shy cat (who also loves attention) opened up pretty quickly and enjoyed all the treats, pets and play she provided! She took great care of both of our cats while we were away and we’d happily have her back again.”
“Tricia was an absolute perfect fit for my dog, a Long haired-german shepherd that requires structure, a firm hand, mental stimulation, and cuddles. Tricha delivered it all, she was very communicative, and made sure to check-in with great updates, and asked questions to clarify anything. I trust her judgement completely, and she was great with Nala, delivering not just a dog walker and in-house sitter, but a great companion and teacher for Nala. If you're not sure if a sitter can handle your dog because they can be slightly reactive or need more attention, Tricia is the sitter for you!”
“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”
“Katie was so kind and accommodating with our dog. We had her booked in advance for two separate stays and the day before our first trip, one of our dogs very unexpectedly passed away. She was a great problem solver and helped us to work out a new plan, enabling us to have piece of mind in going away in this upsetting time period. She helped make a very difficult time easier, and we loved our daily photo updates and reports on his behaviour. Thank you Katie! I know Stu will be looking forward to staying with your family in the future at some point :)”
“Richard was beyond amazing! He took care of our Jasper for the few days we were out of town. We received daily photos and messages detailing his play time. Richard even brought over some cat toys for Jasper to play with. On top of that he kept the surrounding area of his litter clean, and also cleaned his dishes. He truly made us feel at ease. Jasper was in excellent hands while we were away. Highly recommend Richard.”
About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away. I recently moved to the Bay Area and am excited to spend time caring for local pets through dog walks and drop-in visits. I have experience caring for dogs of various sizes and temperaments and am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. In my professional career, I’ve spent over 10 years in client-focused roles where reliability, communication, and attention to detail were essential. You can expect timely updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is being cared for by someone dependable and attentive. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, a potty break, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule. I am currently available most days of the week for dog walks and drop-in visits, with the exception of classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Outside of those class hours, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of walk and visit times on a regular basis. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care is something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my daily routine. I am committed to being reliable, communicative, and punctual, and I will always work with pet owners to ensure their pets receive consistent, attentive care. For dog walks, I provide safe, engaging exercise tailored to each dog’s needs while following the owner’s instructions regarding routes, pace, and any behavioral considerations. For drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship as needed. I strive to keep pets comfortable and happy in their own environment while their owners are away. For all services, I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I provide updates and photos after each visit.

“Jessica sent photos of suki daily and seemed very well cared for. She had plenty of food and water and was in a good mood so I know she took good care of her”
About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.
“Jasmeen is an amazing cat sitter! She’s lovely and our cats warmed up to her instantly. She made sure to play with both of our cats (one is less enthusiastic about playing) and even taught them a few tricks. She was very communicative with daily updates, and we felt completely at ease while we were away.”
About: Hey there! I’ve been pet-sitting friends’ dogs and cats for years. I’m the person at the party that hangs out with your dog near the snacks 😄 Open to overnight stays and also walks/check ins, or local hikes if your pet wants a little adventure. I’m a healthcare admin professional, currently working a hybrid work-from-home schedule. I’m available mid-day through the evenings, and occasionally weekends for overnight stays as well! I am able to travel a bit to petsit your fur friend where they’ll be most comfortable. Can follow any rules you have for your pets, just let me know!
“Zahudy was great. She was very attentive our dog, Oliver, and communicated in detail with us every step of the way. Oliver behaved as if we never left home and I think Zahudy played a major role in him doing so well.”
“Denise is fantastic! We have relied on Denise many times now and she consistently does a great job. She’s smart, great with and knowledgeable about pets, thinks outside the box, and reliable because of those reasons and more. I recently took a trip where I had little to no phone coverage, and I knew I could count on her to take care of any issues that arose if she was not able to reach me. I look forward to relying on Denise again.”

She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely shy and skittish, and I was so impressed that she was able to earn his trust. She was reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our cats were in such great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
Maria was amazing! My cat Henri is an anxious kitty; Maria knew exactly what to do to make him feel comfortable and safe! She played extensively with my cat (even brought her own toy) and followed instructions closely. She clearly loves cats and her photos of my cat and visit description clearly displayed that! Maria was so flexible and receptive to a last minute booking I had and I am so appreciative of it. I will be booking again with her in the future!
Gina was great with my cat who warmed up really quickly to her. She is very friendly and has the patience to allow pets to get familiar with her. She made sure my cat was getting the care and playtime needed during the 4 days we were out of state. I highly recommend booking with her to watch your pets.
Yujie watched my two cats while I was away for almost 10 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos regularly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was traveling. I would absolutely book with Yujie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy
Reanne was great with my two cats! She spent a lot of time playing and engaging with the brave one, and gave the shy one the space he needed to come out on his own terms. She also sent me lots of updates and photos. I felt very secure knowing she was taking such good care of them. Highly recommend!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Burlingame on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 5,994 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Burlingame. 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.

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.
