“This was my first time using the app Rover. JINAH was awesome. She initiated an initial visit to meet my dog and learn about his care needs. He immediately took to her happy wagging tail and all. It helped so much in my going away to be able to trust that he was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to JINAH again first for any dog-care needs.”
“Blake is one of the most professional, and compassionate caregivers I have ever met. She's on time, asks pertinent questions, and genuinely loves dogs. She is also very knowledgeable so she was giving me some good feedback on Milo. Milo loved her and so do we. We can't wait to have her back next month for our long trip.”

“Our cat and chickens were well cared for by Jill during several days of drop in visits. Jill welcomed and fulfilled my detailed requests for their care and provided daily updates to confirm that all was well with our animals.”
About: I have had pets most of my life since I was a small child. I have a deep bond with animals and love getting to know their individual personalities and having a great time playing together. I am currently working part time on my own schedule so I have a great deal flexibility to come play with your pets and provide them with my undivided attention! I provide care specifically based on each individual client’s requests and unique needs. Please let me know your preferences, needs and concerns. Thank you!
About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.
“Brynn (Ash) came through for me in a pinch. Thank you! Another caretaker that I lined up via Rover canceled on me during the first day of my trip at a point where I was already miles away in another state. In a panic I searched for someone else and Brynn wasn’t just willing to help, they were willing to head over to my home to check-in on my cat 10 minutes after we had finalized arrangements! Communication was easy, clear, and consistent. I will absolutely looking for their support again when I have to travel and leave my elderly cat at home!”
About: I've always had a dog. I had dogs growing up, I adopted a dog when I moved out on my own, and I adopted another dog when my children were old enough. Dogs are an important and special part of the family. I enjoy giving them attention, taking them for walks, brushing them, and of course, cuddling with them. I am observant of their communication styles, and use my observation skills to make sure I attend to their needs and keep them happy. I lost my special girl recently, and this is the first time in a while I am without my own dog. I would love to help you care for your dog while I decide whether to adopt again. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to go for walks and give potty breaks almost anytime day and evening. I live in a townhouse that does not have a fenced yard. However, I used to take my dog for several walks per day for both exercise and potty breaks. Dogs are welcome in any part of the house, or can be restricted to downstairs, depending on their needs. I am happy to visit your pet in your home to offer a potty break, take for a walk, or just give some attention.
“Gina is such a reliable and responsible person who provides excellent care to my cats! She is very communicative and always helps me feel at ease when I travel. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Shilletha did a wonderful job taking care of my puppy, Ruby! She kept me well-informed with timely updates and plenty of photos, even during one of the worst weather weeks of the winter. I’m so grateful she was available and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Nicole had never met my kittens before, but was able to work with them and get them to stop hiding, and come out and play. I would use Nicole again and recommend you use her too.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them attention and comfort, I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I currently have flexible availability for walks and drop-in visits. I’m available on weekdays after my work hours and weekends I’m available all day , and will do my best to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. I believe pets feel happiest when they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I absolutely love animals! Dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it! I grew up with cats my entire life and got my first puppy of my own during quarantine (a yellow lab). I have additional experience caring for all kinds of dogs, dog sitting, dog walking, etc. (I nannied for a family with a labradoodle for 3 years.) I currently work in an emergency department. My schedule is a 2 week schedule that repeats, so I’m available every other weekend, every other Mon/Tues and every other Thurs/Fri. I’m hoping to find a few clients who are flexible as well! Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide home services at my own home as my boyfriend and I have 3 kitties and 1 dog of our own (unless your doggo is comfortable around cats).
“Sara is sweet, communicative, and reliable! She sent pictures and updates of her drop in visit with my Ollie! She was flexible with times which I am very thankful for. Overall, I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have had many pets all of my life. My dogs are not just pets but members of the family. I have had many dogs over the years ranging from cockapoo’s, terriers, Westies, a German Shepherd and yellow Labs. I have also had 5 cats. My current dog and cat are best friends! I care for many friends and neighbor dogs and have play dates on a daily basis. Dogs are always on the guest list for dinner parties or holiday gatherings and have gifts under the tree. If I had a bigger yard, I’d have a dozen. I would love to meet and spoil your dog while you were away. I will treat them like my own and we will have a great time together. After retiring from my long term job, I became a caregiver for family members. I enjoy walking so thought this would be a perfect fit for getting more exercise and fill my love of having multiple dogs. I have availability in between caring for people and would love to take your dog for a walk. I will care for your pets as my own in your home and a walk. If there is any special requests or instructions, I will happily follow.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cotati
Kim was amazing, as always. She takes such great care of our two girls and is consistently communicative, keeping us updated on everything while we’re away. She also takes wonderful photos, which we always look forward to receiving. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Blake was incredible with my cat Kali and my roommates cat Oliver. My cat needs medication twice a day and she can be a difficult cat to give medication. Blake updated me each visit and she got Kali to take her med each time. I really appreciated how much she tried with Kali to take her medication. I was also so grateful to have a cat sitter that could drop in twice a day for my baby. Blake also let us know so much information about how the cats were doing and how feeding was going. And she gave us so many pictures from each visit. I usually use my cameras to check on my cats but I didn’t feel like I needed to because she gave such amazing updates. I felt so comfortable about how they were doing. Thank you for being so awesome Blake!
Marie is an absolute delight! She’s attentive to every detail, thorough, respectful of our shy/timid girlies, knowledgeable, and deeply kind. We loved getting to know her and returned to a relaxed energy 🤍 Thank you so much, Marie, our girls can’t wait to see you again!
Rhiannon is amazing. My cats love her she is so good with them they love it when she brushes them. She always goes above and beyond, watering my plants and bringing in any packages that might arrive. She also send me lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting services.
Clint was a great with our dog Otto! He can be a high energy and sometimes anxious dog, but Clint worked through it and they became fast friends. Clear and prompt communication, regular updates - Clint is trustworthy and made sure our dog was tired and happy :) highly recommend!
Ellen S. is amazing! She showered our three dogs with love and care, kept us updated with daily photos and videos, and handled each pup perfectly, calm and gentle with our mastiff, playful and friendly with our bully and pit. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care and can’t wait for her next visit!
Emmalene genuinely saved my cat’s life. There was a fire in our home while we were out of town and thankfully she arrived for a drop-in visit before it was too late. She called the fire department and made sure Kitty got out safe. She took Kitty home with her and took care of her like she was her own cat until I could get back the next day. I cannot speak highly enough of Emmalene and her above and beyond care; even after such a traumatic experience, I could tell Kitty felt so comfortable and safe staying with her. I cannot thank her enough for saving my cat’s life.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,858 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cotati. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cotati stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cotati. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
