“Shirley took care of our cat pretty well. Our cat is very shy but she manages to play with and pet him. Shirley pays attention closely and communicates very well during the entire process when she visits our cat. She even helped us to pick up the mails, water the plants and handle the garbage. We will definitely use her service again next time when we are out of town. Thank you very much Shirley so that we can travel without worry!”

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also careful about keeping owners updated and following any special instructions for their pets. I work part-time, so my weekday availability can vary depending on my schedule. I'm happy to coordinate visits in advance and will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs. Weekends are generally very flexible, and I'm usually available throughout the day. I'll communicate clearly about my availability and make sure we find a time that works for both you and your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, and daily routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you're away.

About: I have been surrounded by pets all my life and caring for animals is second nature to me. I have a prior experience as a pet sitter on Rover. I've had the pleasure of looking after many pets, ensuring they're well-cared for and comfortable in my home. I provide them with a healthy, clean and safe space. My lifelong love for animals, combined with my experience, makes me a reliable and dedicated pet sitter. Whether it's a dog or a cat, I know how to keep them happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I prioritize providing a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care, which is why I only take 1-2 dogs at a time. This allows me to give each animal the individual attention and love they deserve while ensuring a peaceful and organized home for their stay. I will take your dog for long walks and play fetch at the parks. I have a friendly golden retriever to keep your fur baby company and I’ll take them to the park everyday. I prioritize providing a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. This allows me to give each animal the individual attention and love they deserve while ensuring a peaceful and organized home for their stay.

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

About: Hi! I'm Annie, a Bay Area creative with a lifelong passion for animal care. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for my own beloved pets - Fufu the poodle, Turtle the turtle, and Bibi the Siberian hamster. Each of them holds a special place in my heart and taught me how to provide attentive care for different types of animals. This hands-on experience has given me valuable insights into caring for different species and understanding their distinct personalities and requirements. I would love to provide dedicated pet sitting and walking services for your furry family members. I believe in giving each pet the same loving attention and care that I would give for my animal friends. Available for walks, home visits, and overnight stays, I'll ensure your dogs receive plenty of love, exercise, and companionship while you're away. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I'm ready to give your dog the best care possible! With my part-time work schedule, I have plenty of availability to shower your pets with attention! I'm free Monday-Friday, from 9 am to 4 pm, perfect for midday walks, playtime, and check-ins. Your dog's safety is my top priority. We've got a securely fenced front and back yard, so your furry pal can romp and play to their heart's content without any worries. Our home is nice and roomy, with easy-to-clean wooden floors – perfect for dogs! We aim to create a super comfy and safe space where your dog can relax and feel right at home.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and curious kittens to calm senior pets, both as a loving pet parent and as a sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand how important routines and affection are, and I’m happy to tailor care to their unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog needs an active walking partner or your cat just wants a cozy lap to curl up on, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share updates, pics, and stories while you're away! I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate my full attention to caring for your furry baby, this includes regular potty breaks, multiple walks per day, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I don’t have any pets of my own and only care for one/two at a time, so your furry baby will have my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and explore. I always follow care instructions closely and take extra precautions during walks and potty breaks to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: As a proud parent of a 6-year-old Ragdoll, cats are a central part of my life. I routinely pet-sit for friends during their travels, which has given me extensive experience managing multi-cat households. I understand feline body language, respect their boundaries, and know how to handle everything from energetic play to managing separate feeding schedules and keeping litter boxes pristine. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a shy kitty who needs time to warm up, they are in safe hands. For the pups, I am all about staying active! I am the go-to hiking and jogging buddy for my friend’s Golden Retriever, so I am well-versed in handling various breeds. My flexible work-from-home schedule blends seamlessly with pet care, allowing me to easily step away for reliable morning cat drop-ins or mid-day dog walks while giving your pets the consistent attention they need. As an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, tennis, and Pilates, I have the natural stamina and energy to match active breeds like Golden Retrievers, Doodles, or Corgis on the trails, yet I deeply cherish the quiet, grounding moments—whether that's practicing a workout with a kitty on the mat or providing patient companionship for a shy cat. Because I love to travel myself, I understand exactly how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I am dedicated to providing the ultimate peace of mind with prompt communication and plenty of happy photo updates. When caring for your cats in the comfort of your own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routines to minimize any stress while you are away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring that everything from meticulous litter box scooping to pristine feeding areas is kept exactly as you like it. I know that cats are creatures of habit who feel safest in their own territory, so I tailor my visits entirely to their unique comfort levels—whether that means engaging an energetic breed with interactive toys, giving gentle chin scratches, or simply offering a quiet, reassuring presence nearby for more independent kitties. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your cats are receiving dedicated, loving care, complete with detailed updates and plenty of photos after every single visit.

“We can’t thank Jasmine enough for the incredible care she gave our cat, Leo, while we were away. She went above and beyond—sending thoughtful updates, giving plenty of affection, and making sure every detail was taken care of. We came home to a very content cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. We wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter. We will definitely call Jasmine the next time we’re out of town to take care of our Leo.”

Mahsa is an excellent pet sitter. She took extra time to meet our cats ahead of our travel. Being senior cats, our cats have a complicated feeding schedule requiring supplements and medication to manage their health conditions. She communicated well during the visit and did not hesitate to reach out with questions. Our cats were happy and healthy when we returned home.

Chenqi did a wonderful job taking care of Midas! She followed all of our instructions and sent us photos and videos during every visit, which we really appreciated. Our cat Midas is very shy and loves to hide, but Chenqi was always patient about finding her and making sure she was okay. One time Midas hid in a hard-to-reach space above our fridge and cabinets, and Chenqi patiently waited for her to come out and even helped block the area afterward so she wouldn’t get stuck there again. We really appreciated how thoughtful and attentive she was!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Fremont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fremont is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 2,236 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fremont. 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.

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

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 84% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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 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.
