“Maria was absolutely wonderful! She dropped by to check on my cats, cleaned out their litter boxes, and spent plenty of time giving them love and pets. She was super friendly, followed all care instructions, and kept me updated. Fantastic communication and care. I would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have always been comfortable caring for them. I grew up with cats and have experience feeding, playing with, and caring for them throughout my life. I've also helped neighbors by checking in on their pets while they were away. Although I don't have professional pet care experience yet, I'm responsible, patient, and committed to following each pet owner's instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm excited to provide loving care for both cats and dogs. I am currently a university student and have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer months when I am not taking classes. This allows me plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care services. I can plan my day around visits, walks, check-ins, and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on the client's needs. Although I don't have formal professional experience in pet care, I've cared for cats my whole life and understand their behavior, needs, and comfort. I also helped a neighbor by checking in on her cat whenever she was away. I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals
About: I am an animal lover with two cats of my own. Currently, I work at a vet hospital and have experience with both cats and dogs. Additionally, I’m a pre-veterinary student so I’ll take any chance to hang out with animals as I can! I work at a vet hospital from Wed - Sat but I am free for bookings Sunday - Tues all day! Drop-ins before 11am could be made possible for Wed-Sat I do not offer pet care in my own home but I am able to do drop-ins or walks wherever the animal is located! I have my drivers license as well.
“Arillia has a special way of making my kitty feel cared for while I'm away! She feeds and plays with him and he loves to cuddle with her. I always appreciate the excellent communication, updates and photos!”
About: ⭐️ Certified Pet CPR/First Aid ⭐️ Updates with photos and videos ⭐️ Personalized Activity Form Hi, I'm Celeste! 🩵 I'm an Anthropology student at San Francisco State University, and a volunteer at the California Academy of Sciences. I've loved animals my entire life and believe every pet deserves kindness, patience, and respect. My studies and volunteer work have deepened my appreciation for animals and conservation. I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior needing gentle care, I'll follow their routine carefully and treat them like family while you're away. 🩷 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to each pet I care for. Beginning in late August, I'll be attending San Francisco State University, but I've arranged my class schedule to maintain availability throughout the week. I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and consistent communication, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I share my home with two young cats, one senior cat with a disability, and one senior dog, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. My pets are friendly and well-socialized, and I have a secure yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and have experience providing patient, gentle care to senior and special-needs pets. I'll also send regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. ✨
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! Growing up I’ve always had cats and dogs. It was normal for me to take care of friends and families dogs too. For a while in the past I fostered puppies and elderly dogs. I’m currently at home all the time so I have 24/7 availability! I’m willing to also meet at the clients house but it’s easiest for me to take care of them at my own home! I’m able to take care of pets in my own home. I have a 1 acre backyard and a big park right next to my house to take the dogs on walks!
“Sandra did a great job taking care of my cat. She was very prompt in her communication, sent great photos and videos, and my cat was very happy while I was away. I'd definitely recommend her!”
“Jasmine was the most amazing pet sitter! She sent me so many videos of my cat who I missed terribly while I was gone, and she took care of her like her own. I will definitely be calling her if I need a cat-sitter again, and thank you for treating her so special and making sure she was happy and looked after.”
About: I love animals and have taken care of them - both my own pets and the pets of family, friends, colleagues, etc. I am available for drop-in visits and walks for both dogs and cats. I currently do gig work full time, which allows for full flexibility! I am able to work on a schedule or if my calendar allows, I am able to work on a flexible as needed basis depending on your pet's needs. I am all about details! If you have special instructions for the care of your pet, please know that I will follow them to the smallest detail. For drop-in visits, I make sure all doors and windows are closed as well as make sure the environment is safe for your furry family member. On walks, dogs and cats are leashed and supervised at all times. They are only off leash at your instruction. Please let me know if you have any questions.
“Jessica has been great with my boy Charlie as we navigate separation anxiety in our new home. She shows up on-time with a great attitude (even when it’s early morning). Charlie is relaxed around her and I know he’s in good hands while I’m away. Thank you!!!”
“Leanne was absolutely wonderful! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away — I could tell right away that she’s not only incredibly attentive but also genuinely loves animals. She kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which made me feel so much more at ease being away from home. My cat, who is usually shy around new people, quickly warmed up to her thanks to her kind and patient nature. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — I’ll definitely be booking with Leanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and reliable!”
About: With 18 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of raising dogs and cats through every stage of life, from playful puppies and curious kittens to beloved seniors. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and personalities, including small dogs, larger energetic breeds, and cats with different needs and temperaments. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to understand each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their routines, read their body language, and create a safe, comfortable environment where they feel loved and cared for. Whether it’s training puppies, supporting senior pets, or simply providing companionship, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My schedule allows me to provide reliable morning and midday care Monday–Saturday before my evening work hours, with full availability on Sundays. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, meals, playtime, and keeping your pets company. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’m committed to providing dependable care that helps them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets feel safest when their routines and environments are respected. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so each pet feels comfortable and supported, especially when meeting someone new. When visiting a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own by keeping doors and gates secure, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure pets are safe at all times. I also enjoy providing updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and cared for.
“Antonio was great with my two cats. Right before I left for my trip, Remy was diagnosed with FIC - Antonio didn't hesitate one second when agreeing to the change in care routine - in addition to successfully giving Remy his meds, he also sent me daily "symptom updates". Professional, caring, communicative and willing to go the extra mile, Antonio is someone you'll want looking after your pets when you're away.”
“Samantha was wonderful with my pets. My cats require a few extra steps since they do not get along very well, but she followed my instructions perfectly without any issues. She was very communicative, arrived when she said she would, and most importantly, I came home to two happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Samantha, and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter.”
“diana takes amazing care of my sweet ole lady cat with diabetes! she manages her needs carefully and with great communication :) we are so grateful! thank you!”
“Mia was fantastic with Bucket and Opus! She took such great care of them and went above and beyond throughout the stay. She often spent more time with them than I had booked, sent tons of photos and updates, and even watered my plants while I was away. It was really reassuring to know they were getting so much attention and care, and they clearly seemed comfortable and happy with her. I’d absolutely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”
“Joseph did an awesome job taking care of Piccolo. Easy to communicate with, responsive, handled complicated instructions with no fuss, and clearly enjoyed hanging out with our babygirl.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Colma
Jasmine was so sweet with our elder cat and incredibly helpful! She happily took on the challenge of feeding our cat with the many supplements and medicine that he has (all mixed in with his food). It’s evident that she likes cats and knows how to interact with them. Communication was a breeze! We definitely recommend her and would work with her again!
Aaron has been an incredible sitter! Reliable and easy to communicate with. My cat is intensely shy with visitors and often hides under the couch for many hours, but with Aaron, she clearly enjoys his company. I'm glad Aaron has the patience to have her feel comfortable.
Blessy was fantastic! I booked a sitter for 2 guinea pigs very last minute and she was available for both a first meeting and the dates I requested. She was incredibly responsive and had great communication. I even made a mistake while booking and she pointed it out to me and clarified! She was incredibly sweet and attentive, sending me updates and keeping the piggies happy. She also cleaned more than I asked her to! Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks Blessy!
Rachel is a fantastic cat sitter. She is very dependable which allowed me to enjoy 2 weeks of a worry free vacation. And she was willing to make an extra visit when needed. The fact that my reluctant cat warmed up to Rachel is saying something… I can’t say enough good things about Rachel other than that hiring her is doing yourself ( and your pet) a tremendous favor.
Maria was absolutely wonderful! She dropped by to check on my cats, cleaned out their litter boxes, and spent plenty of time giving them love and pets. She was super friendly, followed all care instructions, and kept me updated. Fantastic communication and care. I would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Colma is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $48 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.
