About: I have been dog-sitting consistently since 2016, and it's something I truly love! My budget and schedule doesn't allow me to have a dog right now, but I love getting to care for others when they need someone reliable and trustworthy to help them out! I work part time and have a pretty flexible job, so can work with your schedule and needs. Reach out to me and we'll see if we can work it out! I am very thorough, detail-oriented, and responsible. I always aim to care for your pets the way I would care for my own, so rest assured, they will be in good hands!
“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”

“Jennifer has been a stalwart drop-in sitter for our dog Guinness for half a year now. She has put up with schedule changes, a sick puppy, and miscommunication on our end with absolutely no guff. Truly the best possible sitter we could have ever wished for. Jennifer is the best. Can't recommend enough.”

“Hayley did such an amazing job with our pup! She made sure to communicate with us about whatever we needed and treated our boy with the best care! All of the pictures she sent showed him looking so happy and it gave us peace of mind. Would definitely book with her again :)”

“Kaitlyn is a great cat-sitter. I returned to a quite happy cat. She followed all provided instructions and promptly replied during the entire duration of the cat sitting. Even though my cat is pretty shy around new people, Kaitlyn quickly earned his trust. Kaitlyn provided many pictures and prompt updates for each day's visit and was thoughtful enough to double-check that I was returning as expected. I unequivocally recommend her as a cat-sitter and would book again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over six years and have experience with a wide variety of pets. Throughout the years, I’ve owned and cared for many different animals giving me confidence working with animals of all sizes and personalities. My strongest background is with horses, where I’ve spent years handling daily care, feeding, grooming, exercising, and learning to read animal behavior. That experience has helped me become patient, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), walks, and any special routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. While I do not board dogs in my home, I may be able to host cats on a case-by-case basis. I’m also happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through house sitting or drop-in visits, where they can stay relaxed in a familiar environment.
“Thank you so much for dropping in to check on our two kitties. We really really appreciate that you were able to visit around Mollee's bedtime and to see her in the photos all relaxed in her usual places. Della jumped down from the cat tree in the office when we got home, she was napping up top. Hopefully, as she gets to know you, she will come out and play with you!”

“Bree was wonderful with our dog and very thoughtful. She kept us up to date on things during our vacation and was accommodating to any requests. We will be utilizing her in the future.”

About: Animal lover. Give me details about what your pet needs and I will provide great care. I have 10 years of pet sitting experience. I will walk your dogs and clean up messes. I will feed according to their schedule and most importantly provide them with the love and care I would want as if they are my own. I can do drop in’s to clients nearby and overnight stays to anyone as far as 15 miles away, but for overnight stays I would prefer that my own dog (very friendly) would be able to come too.

I work 3 days per week but am still able to provide love and care to your pets on these days. I only work 3 days per week, so am able to be at home for 4 days to care for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,969 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hayward. 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.

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.
