About: I have always been surrounded by pets of all kinds. Growing up with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles, I’ve developed a strong bond with them. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, ensuring they feel loved and safe. Currently, I work part-time, but I can set my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible and available to adapt to any needs you may have As a pet owner I prioritize safety and trust in every interaction, ensuring peace of mind for you and your pet while providing exceptional care.
“Lucas is not only a great pet sitter but he also saved my house from catching fire! My cat had managed to switch on the oven after I left the house and set off the fire alarm. Lucas was super prompt when I reached out to him. He came over and deactivated and locked the oven! Apart from that he was incredibly caring and my cat loves him!”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur baby! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in get care. I loved getting pictures and a report while away. Thank you, Shirley!!!”

About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!

About: I’ve raised pets my whole life and currently own a Rottweiler and two indoor cats. I’m entirely comfortable walking large, medium and small breeds. Entirely understand the dedicated care that indoor cats need. I promise to keep your pets safe, happy, and well-loved during every drop-in and walk! I offer flexible scheduling that easily accommodates regular dog walking and home drop-in visits throughout the week. Because pet care is my main focus, I have plenty of time to dedicate to playing with your cats, taking your dogs on refreshing walks, and sticking precisely to your pet’s preferred daily routine. Safety is my absolute highest priority during every walk and home visit. When arriving at your home, I double-check that all doors, windows, and gates are fully secured so indoor cats and dogs remain safely inside. On walks, I am always highly alert to our surroundings, keep dogs on a secure leash, and make sure they stay cool and hydrated. I will also send you detailed updates and photos after every single visit so you have complete peace of mind!
About: I was raised in a rural area surrounded by all kinds of animals, and we always had dogs and cats growing up. I have had the pleasure of dog and cat sitting numerous times over the years. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them. I'm new to the Bay Area and looking to devote my time to your pet's schedule. I'm looking forward to getting outside and exploring new neighborhoods with some furry friends. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to help them feel secure and stress-free. I’m attentive to instructions, respectful of the home, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure.
“Sandee took great care of our kitty, and was super communicative and attentive to all our needs. Our cat was in great hands thanks to her, and she gets my strongest recommendation!”

“Cassandra went beyond expectations and really took care of my little ones. She on time and asked me if there was anything else she could do to help. She was able to wipe down my Persians water eyes (despite his tantrums) and asked questions to clarify the cats needs. I would definitely rebooks and recommend!”

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently care for one dog and three cats of my own, including a rescue cat that I helped transition from life outdoors to a safe indoor home. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I am experienced with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, monitoring health and behavior changes, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and will follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently care for one dog and three indoor cats, so I understand how important it is to create a calm, secure, and loving environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and living space while providing attentive care, exercise, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own family member.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. Growing up, I regularly helped care for my family’s dogs whenever they needed support, which gave me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I’m also a cat parent to my two kitties, Michi and Kiki, whom I’ve raised since they were just 8 weeks old. They’ll soon be two years old! Caring for them has given me daily experience with cat care, routines, playtime, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I am currently a master’s student at UC Berkeley. Most days of the week, I end classes at 1pm, so I will be available after that, Sundays and Saturdays the whole day! I have a large apartment for your pup to play in! I also have an outside space for your pup to play in with supervision. Your pet will be my priority during our time together, and rest assured that they will be treated with the utmost respect, love, and kindness!
“Yen is sooo sweet!! She took care of my 2 feline boys (2 yrs old and 14 yrs old) and they both love her!! Not only does she follow routine, she goes the extra mile to see what the boys need and make sure they’re comfortable 🥰 her pics are super cute too and I always look forward to the daily Rover report cards when I was on vacation hehe. I can’t wait to use her service again!”

About: Hi! We’re Courtney, Jack, and Gus a quiet, respectful little trio who love animals, nature, and a peaceful home. Gus is our incredibly well-behaved Blue Heeler. He’s calm, cuddly, silent, and happiest staying close by our side. He has lived comfortably with both cats and dogs and is gentle, curious, and easygoing around other animals. While he mostly enjoys doing his own thing, he will take a curious sniff and occasional playing with other dogs- though solo ball and sticks are his life’s work. We’re sober and non-smoking artists with an art studio in Oakland, CA. We live quietly and genuinely enjoy creating calm, clean, and cared-for spaces wherever we stay. In our free time we love traveling, camping, swimming, and hiking in nature. Courtney has been a nanny for 17 years taking care of kiddos, pets and keeping houses in order and both of us have managed a property together. We also have experience taking care of horses and chickens on farms. We are dreaming of being long term caretakers for someone’s land someday! As sitters, we’re dependable, communicative, and attentive to both pets and homes. We understand how important it is to leave your animals feeling safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and we treat every home with the same care and respect we’d hope for ourselves. We’d love the opportunity to keep your pets company while giving you peace of mind during your travels. We are fulltime sober nonsmoking artists with a flexible schedule and already go on walks and adventures with our own pup, easily can afd more pups At your home can play with them, feed them, treats, crate them, spend some time and company sitting with them, chatting with them, being active, we want a nice peaceful place to stay too
“Jes is a really great pet sitter. We’ve been using him whenever we go away. He is extremely reliable, responsive and great with our cat. He sends updates and pictures at each visit.”

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a cat at home, often helped friends and neighbors with their pets, and for the past 10 years I’ve shared my life with two amazing Siberian huskies — one now a wise senior and her playful younger sister. Living with them has taught me patience, consistency, and just how much love pets bring into our lives. I’ll treat your furry family like my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I work hybrid and can be remote when needed, so I’m available most weekday evenings, a few weekdays during the day, and on weekends when I’m not traveling. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect the space, follow all instructions closely, and make sure pets have everything they need — from fresh water and food to playtime and walks. My goal is always to create a calm, trusting environment so pets feel happy and secure.
About: I’ve been raising a very cute black pug for four years. For some reason, I couldn’t bring him with me and I miss him a lot. I really love dogs, so I’d love to do some dog-related work in my free time. I’m happy to let dogs on the sofa or bed, since I always clean them up after walks to make sure both they and the environment stay clean. I’ve spent time with many different dogs, including some that were initially unfriendly. By offering treats, approaching them slowly, and taking the time to get to know them, I was able to build trust. I’m very patient with dogs! From Monday to Friday, I’m usually out for 2–4 hours a day, but I’m home all day on weekends. During my free time, I’m happy to take dogs out to play. 1. Diet: I carefully control meal portions and feeding times, and always make sure dogs stay hydrated—especially in hot weather. After walks, I wait 5–10 minutes before giving them water. 2. Hygiene: I clean eye discharge promptly and keep both the dogs and their environment clean. 3. Exercise: I walk dogs 2–3 times a day. 30min/walk. 4. Playtime: In my free time, I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with them. 5. Companionship: I spend as much time with them as possible. 6. Safety on walks: Dogs are always leashed outside. I stay alert when they interact with other dogs and separate them immediately if there are signs of aggression. I also make sure they don’t eat things off the ground, and I always clean up after them. 7. Sleeping: I used to sleep with my own dog, so if your dog is used to that, they’re welcome to join me too.
About: For 5 years I worked at a dog daycare with all kinds of canines! For most of my time there, I was an overnight caretaker, solely responsible for anywhere between 5-99 dogs. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, many breeds, and many needs. Before that, I spent my teenage years volunteering at a local shelter, where I walked and cuddled dogs from all walks of life, and got the hang of getting nervous newcomers out of their shell. And it’s not just dogs I love, but all kinds of critters big and small! I have a cat and lizard, I enjoy any opportunity I have to cat-sit, and exotic pets whose care may be more than some want to handle are my pleasure! I’m happy to tailor care however you’d like to give your little friend the best! I’m free for the summer before my classes start, which gives me plenty of opportunity to care for your pets! I am mostly available after noon, and my availability is very open on all days but Friday I can only do walks or home visits as my house is already occupied by a disapproving cat, but while I’m with your pet I’ll be sure to give them exactly the care they need! I’m happy to give walks and visits where they’ll have all my attention, and I have experience administering any medication (non-injectable) that they require. If they’re just in need of company, I can supervise them in your yard, cuddle or hold them, or simply work quietly nearby if they would rather do their own thing without being alone. When I’m with your pet, I will always be reachable, so if you need to give instructions or check in on your pet, I can respond immediately

About: I have experience caring for service and companion dogs, especially for elderly clients whose pets require consistent routines. I’m experienced giving dogs oral medications and supporting senior pets with patience and care. I take pride in being gentle, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Pet care fits naturally into my day. I typically walk and care for dogs in the mornings and again in the late afternoon or early evening, between other project work I do from home. This routine allows me to be consistent, flexible, and fully present for each dog I care for. When caring for dogs in their own homes, I always follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely — from feeding and medications to preferred walking routes. I double-check gates, doors, and leashes before every walk and keep dogs on secure leads at all times. I communicate updates after each visit so you know your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Becca went above and beyond in taking care of my senior kitty for check in visits while I was away. Thanks for the great communication and taking care of things so we never has to worry, Becca!”


About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 5 years old. I love pets and currently have two Guinea pigs! I’ve taken care of elder dogs, puppies, dogs with health problems, usually for friends and family. No pet is a bad fit for me :) As a PhD student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am available when most aren’t. I can accommodate pet care into my schedule because I have the freedom to choose my hours. I always try my hardest to meet my clients expectations. I check-in with owners to make sure our needs and responsibilities are being met so you can have the peace of mind that your space and pet are well taken care of and respected.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Emeryville
Bryanna did an outstanding job taking care of Mellie. Bryanna was so kind, friendly, and thoughtful when it came to communication. She listened and took notes during our meet up so she’d know exactly what to do. Bryanna fed Mellie her “special foods” as instructed, took time to play with her, and let her have outside time. Also our kitty is normally so shy but Mellie warmed right up to her. Will definitely hire her again!

Thank you for spending time with our cats. We know they loved having you around. We really appreciate how you went above and beyond, making sure our apartment was in good condition when we came back as well, and the extra time you spent playing with them. Thanks for the videos and photos, your narratives were always so lovely to read.

Cyvanah was so attentive and experienced with our rambunctious (difficult) cat and our shy, timid cat. We appreciated the daily pictures, messages and updates on their daily shenanigans. She was very communicative and when she couldn’t find our shy cat Mina, she made sure to call us to check other hiding spots, which was thoughtful. Would highly recommend Cyvannah to others - you will be in trusted hands!

Shelly was great! We were anxious about using a service but she met with us ahead of time and put us at ease. She followed all instructions, sent plenty of pics and we came home to well cared for cats. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we need someone!

Jessica was amazing! She took great care of our boys, Caper and Tiggy, while we were away. She was reliable, showed up exactly when she said she would, and provided regular updates that gave us peace of mind so we could fully enjoy our trip. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our trash cans after pickup. We would highly recommend Jessica and would absolutely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Emeryville on Rover is $31.08 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,907 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Emeryville. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Emeryville. On Rover:

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.
