About: Hi there! I’m a responsible, reliable, and hardworking individual with several years of experience helping families with a variety of household and pet care needs. My background includes pet sitting, caring for animals, maintaining clean and organized homes, running errands, and providing general day-to-day household assistance. I’d describe myself as kind, dependable, organized, and proactive. I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and enjoys making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether that means feeding, walking, playing, keeping up with their daily routines, providing companionship, or simply giving them plenty of love and attention, I always strive to make pets feel safe and comfortable in their own homes. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, household upkeep, and other responsibilities as needed. I have a perfect driving record, reliable transportation, and am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m very interested in your position and would love the opportunity to chat more about what you’re looking for and see if I could be a good fit. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs! I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, including weekends and holidays. I’m always happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own! I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their usual routines. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Jimena did a great job with my sweet but neurotic cats (and their neurotic owner)! I was nervous about going out of town because the cats had recently been demonstrating some changes in appetite. Jimena sent lots of pictures, which helped ease my mind, and she was vigilant in reporting back to me about the cats’ meals and bathroom habits. My shy kitty also seemed to warm up to Jimena quicker than she usually does with new people!”

About: I grew up being the designated dog sitter for multiple family members. They would go on trips for about 1-2 weeks where I would stay at their place and take care of their dog! I am pretty good about time management and can adjust to the pets schedule! I am currently looking for a job in the healthcare field and while times may be tough landing a job, I wanted to fill the time with taking care of pets when other's are busy! I am available most of the time! I have multiple rooms if pets need to be separated and a backyard if dogs are okay with that. Otherwise, I would keep them by my side for the most part and make sure they are getting everything they need. I have 2 cats at home who are skiddish at first, but relax if no real harm is present!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from little puppies and kittens to older pals who need extra care. My own elderly cat and dogs have needed ear drops, oral medicine, and insulin injections. I don’t just fill the bowls and leave. I stay for real visits with play, treats, cuddles, or quiet time, whatever helps your pet feel at home. Every animal is different. Some want lots of affection and some need space. That’s fine with me. Even the ones who like distance still get attention in a way that feels right for them. I’m happy to care for birds, fish, bugs, or other small pets too, as long as you show me what to do. I can also water plants, bring in the mail, and help with other little house things. Your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away, and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands! I work remotely from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate visits throughout the day. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, with the only exceptions being occasional scheduled work meetings. I know my meeting schedule in advance, so we can coordinate visit times ahead of booking to make sure I’m available when your pets need me! I treat every client's home with the same care and respect that I would want someone to show my own home. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, following your instructions and routines, and making sure your pets are comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your time away as worry free as possible, knowing both your pets and your home are in good hands.

“Cristal & Aiden were amazing! I was nervous leaving my elderly & diabetic cat for 5 days but it was quickly clear that my cat was very happy, well loved and 100% safe with them. It’s obvious they are true animal lovers and they even discovered she likes to watch bird & fish YouTube videos. Also, Aiden’s photos are the best I have of her - he has a real gift for animal photography. They were also very diligent about her medications, including giving her insulin shots twice a day. Needless to say, I highly recommend them!”

About: Need someone you can trust to care for your furry family while you're away? I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to Aster Blue, my sweet 11-year-old boy who loves other animals, too! I offer attentive, loving pet care, whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or keeping your pets comfortable in their own home. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I'll treat your furry family with the same patience, affection, and care I give my own. Available seven days a week and around for holiday pet sitting. I'd love to meet your four-legged family! I currently work part-time, locally, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as well as all weekend long. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your fur babies company, as well as a park nearby where I can take dogs to play.

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: I have a vast experience of pet sitting dogs a variety of dogs and cats. Dogs breeds as small as Pomeranians to as large as an Australian Sheppards. I am an avid dog walker as well, and truly enjoy taking pets on a stroll for some activity and sunshine!! I can play fetch all day with pets or keep them occupied until they’re ready to rest. Whatever is needed, I can handle it!! I’ve I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule can be flexible depending on the week. I’m available during the weekdays and weekend. Occasionally I host open houses on the weekend, but only for 2-3 hours max. I typically watch over pets in the owners’ homes. During that time watching over pets, I make sure to keep any doors locked, unless I’m with them outside or in the backyard. I will have a leash with me or use one provided by pet owner for any walks. I make sure to double check that the water bowl is filled at all times. And I always keep the pets in my site, so I can monitor their activity and overall behavior.

About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With my experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Clayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Clayton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $35 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 November 2026, there are 1,674 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Clayton. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clayton. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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 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.
