“Reliable, kind, and amazing with our cat. Liwei followed all instructions, sent updates and pictures, and left everything spotless. Our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Jasmine was wonderful to work with. She came by to go over everything even though it was a last minute booking. She took great care of our 2 cats, including giving a daily medication. Her notes and pictures gave me confidence about how things were going while we were away.”
“Everything appeared to be taken care of to my specifications and my cats were happy and healthy when I got home! Matthew was also very communicative and friendly throughout my time being gone. Will book with him again!”
“Becca watched our 2 cats while we were on a long vacation. She was fantastic! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! We have 1 socially needy cat who loves everyone and one that is a lovebug, but is terrified of people he’s doesn’t know. I fully expected that Becca’s interactions with the second cat would be extremely limited to feeding, but was delighted to see that she was able to play with him on a few occasions! She definitely has a way with cats. As those of you with cats know, sometimes you have to expect the unexpected (such as one of our cats learning to open cabinets while we were gone and making a huge mess), and Becca always handled any issue with stride. With the cabinet incident, Becca not only tidied things up, but did her due diligence to make sure no cleaning supplies were ingested. She then had quick thinking and taped the cabinets shut to make sure they wouldn’t get into more trouble until the next time she visited. Thank you for everything, Becca!”
“Sandee was great! She was very communicative and interactive with our 2 cats while we were away for the week! We felt confident with Sandee that our cats were in good hands and would definitely recommend her! Thank you!”
“Definitely recommend Lia for folks who have kitties that need a safe space while traveling/away from home. Communication was easy & I appreciated the pictures she sent. Although the stay was very brief, she still got my shy kitty out from hiding to enjoy treats. :) Thanks again!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. I know their behavior and what to look for, and I love showering them all with the attention and affection they deserve! I have two cats myself (they're nearly 15 now), but my family has always had dogs. English Springer Spaniels, specifically. At one point, we had 3 of them! I'm the go-to petsitter when my friends and family are out of town, and I'd love to meet yours. I'm currently flexible so looking for anything from one-off visits to regularly scheduled ones. I can't do overnights because of my own pets but on occasion I'm sure we can work something out. Any instructions you have for how to care for your pet are appreciated. Depending on your home I'm happy to let pups out or keep them in, just need to let me know your (and their) preference.
“Alisson was amazing with my cat, Taylor! She was incredibly attentive to Taylor's needs and made sure she was well cared for while I was away. She sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Taylor received lots of pets, love, and treats. I truly couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my cat. I highly recommend Alisson to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Shirley is incredible and dependable! We’ve used her numerous times and she always goes the extra mile for us. We feel safe and secure knowing she’s looking out for our pet and home”
“Jes was awesome! Did a quick meet n greet to introduce him to Hodori prior to our trip; was super thorough in taking notes and asking a lot of questions for any nuances (which I appreciated). Very professional. ? Provided concise updates on food/water/litter including health since he’s old every visit along with cute pics. I’m very glad my senior kitty warmed up to him to make his time a lot less lonely while I was out of town. Would highly recommend Jes to anyone needing cat/dog sitting services!”
About: From small breeds to large breeds, I've taken care of dogs since adopting our first family dog in 2001. Currently a dog dad to an 11-year-old cattle dog mix named Mia who brings joy to my life! Will treat your dog with the care I give my own. Pet care fits into my routine daily, having my own dog named Mia. We go for walks three times a day and I live plenty of time in my schedule to give her the love she deserves! Will care for your dog within your guidelines and what you establish is the best approach. I'm an experienced dog owner myself and can give your pet the attention they deserve!
“this was my first time leaving my cat alone so I was nervous, but cassandra was great! she provided very thorough updates and plenty of pictures/videos. and my cat definitely seemed to like her too!”
“Overall, Tia was great! She communicates well and responds promptly to messages. She clearly loves animals and they love her. Added bonus: she can be counted on to handle missteps professionally. I would use her service again.”
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 built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
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.
“Veronica was my first Rover and I cannot ask for a better first Rover experience! She took great care of my cats at my house. She was communicative and accommodating, which was reassuring. I recommend Veronica and will work with her again.”

Cameron is the best. I feel so much better knowing he’s there with my boys. It’s nice to get away, but I do miss my kitties and worry that they will be lonely without me. Cameron spent quality time with them and ensured they felt the love while I was away. It was so nice to get his updates and see that they were being well cared for. I highly recommend Cameron.
Fernando was great, and I would definitely book with him again! I was out of the country for two weeks and felt like my two cats were in good hands the whole time. He was very communicative and responsive, and was great about coordinating his visits with the big time difference so I could still get updates while I was away. He followed all of my instructions carefully and took great care of my cats. I would definitely recommend him and book with him again!
We love Rich!!! He recently had drop in visits with our cat Misa for two weeks, and she took to him so well. He would send me pictures everyday and let me know what they were up to as well! He made sure to play with her even though she is a lazy cat, and I believe she really looked forward to visits. We will be using his services again when we need another sitter, and I would recommend a thousand times over!
Vaneesha was great with my cat and was able to help me on very short notice. She was responsive and replied quickly. I even had the wrong address on my account and she went there to drop in with my cat. When we found out she was at the wrong address, she handled it with ease and grace. She was very sweet with my cat and I highly recommend her.
This is my first time booking Rover for my 2 kitties and I’m so glad to have gone with Nandini! She’s been super accommodating with my last minute booking and also very caring and sweet to my babies. It didn’t take them long to open up at all ☺️ she’s very reliable and also shared the cutest check-in photos of them. I’d definitely book with her again when I’m out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Emeryville on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,001 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.
