“We were away for 2+ weeks and Trisha made sure our cats had all the attention, communication, care, and love they needed. There were many additional odd things that came up with our house while we were away and she offered to handle everything with total professionalism. We highly recommend her and hope she never stops offering her cat-sitting services! She’s amazing!”
About: I have volunteered at Humane Societies with all kinds of pets because animals are my passion, and have had pets for almost 30 years. I currently have had a wonderful cat named Latte for 6 years and I couldn't live without her. I am available during the day to walk your dog or take it to play at a dog park, or check in on your cat and give it plenty of love, food, and attention. I make sure the pets I look after are cared for like my own, and their safety, comfort, and security are a top concern of mine.
About: I grew up in South Africa organically and have had many years of experience with all kinds of animals! Always wanting to know new furry friends! I am currently working very part-time so am available frequently and when needed. I am in school at the moment but am taking mostly online course! I do have a fenced yard for the pups to play in and am very diligent when it comes to the care of any animal
“Veronica was an amazing cat sitter for my boys! Her communication was excellent from start to finish—she kept us updated regularly and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly paid attention to our cat’s specific needs and preferences, which meant so much to us. She even went the extra mile to pick up some packages and deal with unexpectedly running out of their food. On top of that, she was kind and gentle with our cats and gave great daily updates. We would absolutely trust her to care for them again and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, medication if needed, and keeping pets on their usual routines. I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure owners get updates and photos during visits. I’m available on Fridays and weekends, and I have plenty of time during those days to give your pets attention, walks, and playtime. I’m reliable and consistent, and I’ll make sure to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have a fenced yard and experience being around dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I focus on keeping pets safe with supervised time, secure spaces, and following any instructions you leave. I want your pet to feel relaxed, safe, and at home while they’re with me.
About: I’ve cared for my family friends' dogs while they were away, which helped me understand the importance of building trust with both pets and owners. I am currently enrolled in school on weekends and trade school in evening. I and available during weekday mornings and afternoons to provide reliable dog sitting services. My cats are indoor-only, and my dog enjoys a large backyard for play. Due to my cats' territorial nature, it might be challenging to accommodate other animals in my home.
“While we were away on vacation, our usual cat sitter had an emergency and had to leave our cats alone without supervision. We booked Bryan to fill in and not only was he available at a moments notice, but he was also able to bond with our cats the moment he arrived. He sent us pictures of our cats so we knew they were safe, and he was even got our problem cat, Dave, to come out of his hiding spot for some pets. This cat never lets anyone pet him and we were surprised at how quickly he bonded with Bryan. We highly recommend Bryan as a cat sitter and we will continue to book with him every time we travel!”
“Cora was a total lifesaver for our post-op recovering kitty. Flexible, knowledge and clearly experienced. Was able to jump right in and provide high level of kitty care. Highly recommend!”
“Mia is reliable and easy to work with. She takes note of everything I ask of her and keeps a close eye on my cat. I continue to book her as my go-to for cat sitting!”
“Emily was great! She cuddled and played with Betty, gave her treats and even brought toys to play with her. I felt super at ease knowing she was takinh care of my furry baby. 100% recommend her 😊!”
“Chen has been an incredible caretaker for our cats when we are away. He sends frequent updates so we know our cats are doing well. Our cats have grown fond of him and trust him. It’s nice to know we have a pet sitter who they are comfortable with and look forward to seeing. I can tell they genuinely miss Chen’s drop ins now that we are back. Every morning around the time scheduled for our drop ins they start meowing at me. They have gotten used to him coming to visit. Chen will be your cat’s best friend when you are away!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and wouldn't have it any other way. I grew up with three Whippets, a Toy Poodle, and two cats, caring for them from puppyhood right through their senior years. I've also competed in dog shows and won Champion of Baltic States several times. I'm experienced with sighthounds (Whippets, Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds), Toy Poodles, and all size dogs. I've handled breeding dogs, newborn puppies, pregnant moms, and specialized diets. I'm comfortable training dogs in obedience, potty training, loose-leash walking, and recall. The two cats I had lived to 17 and 18! I'm comfortable with all their needs. I've also ridden and trained horses since I was 10. I am a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals, knows their quirks and needs, and treats your pets like they're my own. Whether it's a senior dog needing extra care, a puppy needing attention, or a cat who prefers routine, I've got you covered. I’m currently in between jobs, having just moved back to the Bay Area from Paris. That means I can take care of your pets almost any time and be very flexible with last minute bookings. I am very attentive to follow the exact instructions that clients have regarding their pets and homes. Having years and years of experience with all types of animals, I have developed a good common sense about their needs and moods.
About: I've spent the bulk of my life caring for animals (dogs, cats, small mammals, and even horses). Much of my experience has involved anxious and/or reactive dogs, who often do best with a calm environment and a consistent routine. I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior so I can respond before a dog becomes more stressed. I have also cared for rescue dogs whose backgrounds required patience and careful handling. That experience has taught me to notice stress signals that can be easy to miss, and to avoid pushing a dog beyond its comfort level. I follow the routines owners provide rather than changing what the dog is used to. I'm comfortable following medication instructions and specific feeding routines. I can also care for households with multiple pets (big or small, old or young). My goal is to keep each pet’s daily life as familiar as possible while the owner is away, so the pet can remain comfortable and secure in its normal environment. I’m currently in graduate school with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize the pets in my care. I keep my Rover calendar carefully updated and limit bookings so each pet receives attentive, individualized care. When I am house-sitting or doing drop-in visits, I treat your home with the same care and discretion as I would my own.
About: Family dogs have included black labs, Rotts, terriers and Cane Corso. I have puppy sat for family and friends for more than 20 years. I have experience with cats and other animals as well. I am in a large one-bedroom apartment in Outer Richmond. I am very active, and enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. Access to the beach is close during the warmer months. Thank you for the consideration! I work remote during the week freeing up much of the day. Weekends are usually low-key, with lots of time spent in the parks and beaches. I am in a one bedroom on the second floor with an elevator. My home is safe from harmful chemicals and fragrances. I am patient and loving, and I always want to cuddle. I have a small dog who is very friendly and loves other pets.
“Alessandro is wonderful! I am a pretty high-maintenance cat mom - obsessed with my kitty, etc. Alessandro was great at quelling my fears at leaving my cat and sending me lots of photos and updates so I could relax while I was away. My cat takes oral medication, so it's very important that she gets it regularly and correctly, and Alessandro was great at understanding the many directions for giving her Rx, vitamins, food, lots of pets, etc. I really appreciated how he took my 6-page document detailing Curly's care in stride. haha. We will absolutely be using him again. Thanks again for caring for Curly!”
About: I’ve always had an interest in animals. In high school I worked at a vet grooming establishment. I’ve worked at PETCO dog grooming. I’ve house sat and walked dogs on a daily basis for my sisters two rescue dogs for the last few years. I have taken them to the vet, given them medication, bathed and groomed them. We have gone on little excursions to Fort Funston, as well as the dog park. I enjoy taking care of them so much. They bring me so much joy. ** Willing to host dog or cat siblings. I live very near to Ocean Beach and look forward to taking dogs for long walks there! I’m hoping to make this my full-time job so I’m open for any availability. I am eager to get started, and can’t wait to meet your four legged friend. And you of course.! 😃 I live very near to Ocean Beach and hope to take your dog on nice long walks along the beach. If I am caring for your cat, I will have all the necessary equipment to do so. Litter box, food, water bowl, etc. I also have invested in some equipment for bathing and grooming dogs such as clippers, a hair dryer, shampoo, and conditioner. If that’s something you would like as well.
“Nicest, sweetest person I've met and great with dogs. She provided great updates and came home to two relaxed, happy dogs. I'd would highly recommend her services, and looking forward to booking her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,478 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest Knolls. 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 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.

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.
