“I really appreciated how accommodating Anna was through the whole process, she did the pre-visit check-in literally the day before I had to leave and when my house was a mess. Not to mention that when I finally pulled Java from one of her 9 hiding spots so she could see her, Java peed herself (and on me) from fear :( Anna checked on her earlier when I asked, asked me questions when she couldn't find her, brought in a package for me, and made sure she at least got eyes on her once per visit lol. A true scaredy cat unfortunately, but also with abandonment issues, so I can't wait to bring her a friend. Anna was amazing and patient the whole time, and just the fact that she was able to get ANY pics, (even if it was just her backside as she ran away lol) was extremely impressive.”

“Amanda has been amazing with my two kitty babies!! They usually don’t warm up to people easily, but I can tell they love her! She leaves incredibly detailed reports, sends so many pictures, and goes above and beyond in my opinion. I have felt so much better about leaving them as I know she’s taken such good care of them. This was my first experience with Rover and we will 100% be booking Amanda again!”

About: I love dogs as I’ve had many throughout my childhood and adulthood. My family has always been a big pet family and so I completely understand the love and attention pets need and deserve. After all, they are an important part of our lives! I am currently a senior in college, and while I wished I had a pet, I do not have one yet. Back home I have a dog and caring for her is a daily activity that I love to do. I know pets are caring, sensitive beings and need lots of attention and love! In my house, I help with feeding, walking, playing, and overall petting and loving on our dog. I love to walk my dog at home and play with her using her favorite toys. I can bring these skills to help care for your pet as well.

About: As the owner of high energy pets, I am an expert at walks and enrichment. I love animals and am often the first person my friends and family ask to watch their pets when they go out of town. I have a flexible schedule and can be available to care for your pets! On weekends, I am available for petting sitting or long walkies. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood that is good for walks. I have two pets of my own, a service dog dropout and a cat that likes dogs more than people. I am also willing to drive to your home to care for your pets.

About: Hi there! My name is Genevieve! I worked at the Richmond SPCA for 4 years. My two pitties at home (Nola and Brick) are leash reactive. With my own dogs and experience of working at an animal shelter I’ve seen almost everything. I have experience with medication administration- injectable, sub q fluids, and oral. I also have experience with behaviors like reactivity, resource guarding, mouthiness, fearfulness, ect. I take a fear free, positive reinforcement approach. My goal is to make sure your pets needs are being met so they feel safe and you feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with special needs cats as well! I quit my job and went back to school! I can care for your pets before 9:00 am and after 11 am Monday and Wednesday-Friday. I can care for your pet on Tuesdays from 1 pm onwards. I have experience with homes without backyards and am willing to do a walk around the block or whatever it might be for a quick potty break. I always go outside to my fenced in backyard with my dogs to make sure everyone is safe and will do so with yours. Your cats will be kept strictly indoors!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dumbarton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dumbarton is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 1,229 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dumbarton. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
