“We recently had the pleasure of working with Dawn to care for our tuxedo cat, Coco, while we traveled abroad for nearly three weeks, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Dawn was communicative, thoughtful, responsible, and incredibly consistent with her check-ins. She sent regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while being so far from home. What stood out most was how comfortable we felt having her in our home and caring for a cat we love so deeply. After meeting Dawn twice before our trip, we immediately felt at ease — and throughout our travels, it was clear Coco was being cared for with genuine gentleness and attention. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for cat made all the difference after an extended trip abroad. We’re so grateful for the care Dawn provided and would absolutely hire her again for “baby”-sitting duties in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable to care for their pets. :)”
“Cara is an exceptional pet sitter! She was willing to accept a last-minute booking request during the holiday season to watch my cat. She was professional, communicative, caring toward my cat, and attentive to his needs. She knew how to read his behavior and interact in a way that made him feel comfortable. Highly recommended for watching your cat!”
“Nevaeh was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my pet while I was away — very communicative, and loving. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. 🤗”

About: I have been taking care of pets and walking dogs for 6 years. After beginning my pet care business I became a certified dog obedience trainer and have been able to use much of that knowledge to the benefit of my business and my clients. I have two dogs of my own, a 5 year old American Labrador and a 1 year old Great Pyrenees. They are both assets when it comes to having dogs over, walking with other dogs and having play time. Norma, my lab, helps a lot with training and Myron, my Pyr loves to play. I treat all of my client pets with the same love and attention that I give to my own. They are my life and my livelihood. If your dog is not good with other dogs, no problem. I can come to you dog-free. But, if they stay with me there will always be a crew to have fun with.

Dawn was absolutely amazing with my kitty. I have a very skittish cat that normally will not come out for anybody and she managed to get my kitty to come out and let her pet her. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from my cat and the furthest I’ve ever been and I felt completely comfortable knowing that Kiki was safe and taken care of back home 💜
Kayla did a great job this week looking after our 2 kitties. She consistently checked in & provided photos, which showed the cats being very comfortable with her (a stranger to them) which was very reassuring. Kayla provided very reliable & caring service and we look forward to having her look after our kitties again.
Dani was absolutely wonderful with Aspen! She was patient, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Aspen was well cared for and happy, and it was clear Dani genuinely enjoys what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Golden Gate is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $39 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 1,232 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Golden Gate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golden Gate. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
