“Dylan was great with my dog Bo. He encouraged my old lazy dog to get out for potty breaks on our drop in visits. He’s detail-oriented and clearly cares about animals. We will absolutely use him again.”
“Kristin has great connection with my cat. My cat love her so much! Also, she can handle auto litter box , water fountain as well! Will hire her again if needed.”
“Appreciate Flora for taking our last minute request and drop in for our cat Reggae over weekend. Communication with her was prompt and easy, and she did a great job taking care of Reggae. She also took some of the best looking cat pics. Thank you Flora!”
“Lucy was great! We had a last minute trip and couldn't get ahold of the other pet sitters we work with so I reached out to Lucy. She was very attentive, asked great questions and gave me lots of suggestions to make this work last minute. And she was right. We went on the trip and had complete peace of mind having Lucy take care of our lovely cat. It was nice knowing that our cat had a friend to spend time with and was happy and healthy this whole time. We can't thank Lucy enough! She is now definitely at the top of the list and I will be surely reaching out when we need again.”
“Elena is such a great pet sitter! She goes above and beyond for our cats every time we work with her. We are so lucky to have her as our go-to contact for our babies :)”

“Amani closely monitored our kitties and gave timely updates. Loved the pictures of them rubbing up against their brush and her breadth of animal care knowledge helped make us feel secure.”
“Ching-Chi did a wonderful job caring for our pets. She came on time for the drop-in visits every day, and was very communicative, providing lots of photos of our happy pets. She is very conscientious and professional as well as being kind to the animals she cares for. I highly recommend her!”
“Ashley was amazing during her drop in visits with our 2 kitties! She was communicative, on time, and made sure to send lots of pictures and videos - Guapo our spicy male kitty really seemed to enjoy her company as well! We would absolutely reccomend her to anyone in the area looking!”
“I requested Sydney to check in on Eevee for a week on short notice and she helped me out immensely. She actually put in the effort to make my baby feel comfortable and she warmed up to her in no time. Sydney also sent me multiple pictures of these checkins daily and helped put my mind to ease while I was away from home.”
“Nasrin was great working with my small dogs while I was away. They loved her caring approach. She was also responsive and always sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated. :)”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
“Rachel was available on short notice when I needed help with my puppy, and from the start she brought a calm, responsible presence that put me at ease. I had previously met her at a volunteer food drive, which spoke to her integrity and character before I ever entrusted her with my dog. As a Velcro-dog owner (especially doodle and cockapoo families — you understand), leaving was hard. While I was away, she took time to speak with me on the phone, listened thoughtfully, and helped me reframe my fears in a sound, steady way. That meant a great deal. She was flexible, trustworthy, and attentive. Nearly two weeks after returning home, my puppy is actually better adjusted than before I left — he gained a healthy sense of independence, and I gained peace of mind. Rachel is top-notch. I would absolutely trust her again.”

Estefania did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She was very reliable, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away. My cat was well cared for, and I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Estefania and would be happy to book with her again!
Responsible. Sweet. Humble. Communicative. Fabulous person. These are all qualities that Yukie has. If I already didn't have a regular pet caretaker through Rover, I would hire Yukie every time. She has definitely become our first backup in case our regular Rover person isn't available. Thank you Yukie for taking such good care of Dante for us, and for leaving the house immaculate. You get an A+ from us!
Best sitter ever!! Very attentive to my cat’s needs, she does what it takes to make them comfortable around her, and ensure they are doing good in my absence. Followed all of my instructions to a tee (and my cat takes multiple medications). I will Definitely be using her again!! Highly recommend!!
She took wonderful care of my cats, as she always does! I can always count on her to give them the love, attention, and care they need. She does such a fantastic job, and I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Rachel did a great job taking care of our 2 cats! We had a last-minute trip come up, and she was quick to agree to watch them. One of our cats needs insulin shots twice a day, and she was comfortable giving them to him. We felt completely comfortable leaving the cats in her care and would definitely have her watch them again!
I requested Sydney to check in on Eevee for a week on short notice and she helped me out immensely. She actually put in the effort to make my baby feel comfortable and she warmed up to her in no time. Sydney also sent me multiple pictures of these checkins daily and helped put my mind to ease while I was away from home.
Kathleen is a warm, compassionate person who loves animals. She exudes the type of calm energy that my cat immediately felt safe in. I could tell by the fact that my cat didn’t spend the whole time hiding! Her pet report is detailed and well written and her pictures of my cat were so cute. I highly recommend her
This is the second time booking with Hannah for a few weeks, and it gives me real peace of mind knowing she takes such good care of my cat—especially when I’m far away! I love getting updates, photos, and videos during every visit; I missed my cat a lot while I was on vacation, but knowing she’s in good hands with Hannah is truly reassuring. Thanks, Hannah :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fruitdale on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,074 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fruitdale. 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 Fruitdale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
