“AnnMarie is absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Toulouse — it’s clear they get along great, and she takes exceptional care of him during every visit. She’s an excellent communicator and handles any challenges with calm professionalism, giving us complete peace of mind. Her Rover cards always include THE BEST pictures of our boy, which brighten our trips and melt away any stress about being away. AnnMarie’s kindness and consideration shine through in everything she does, and we couldn’t be happier to have her looking after Toulouse.”

About: Hello future clients and furry friends! I’m Katherine and I can assure you I have all the experience you’re looking for considering I have 3 fur babies of my own! I’ve loved caring for animals since I can remember and have since revolved my entire life around it. From taking care of my own pets to working at a dog groomer salon to now working at a veterinary clinic! Working around pets for so long definitely has it’s perks from dealing with pumped up pups and comforting sleepy seniors. Big or small, adapting is never an issue for me! I’m also CPR certified for all sizes! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a veterinary clinic so this would be mainly for the hours/days I’m not working! My schedule is pretty set so working out a timed schedule wouldn’t be a problem for me! For anyone that’s curious this is my current work schedule: Monday,Tuesday, and Thursday~ 2pm-7pm Wednesday and Friday~ 8am-2pm I have quite a bit of experience on working in other homes! I respect boundaries and I always bring my own personals so you don’t have to worry about a thing! :)

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.

About: I lost my boxer last year to cancer and miss having a dog around. I decided to open my home to dog sitting and walking to fulfill my human need for a canine. I would love to snuggle and play with your dog. I have a big back yard, dog friendly for fetch, frisbee, hide and seek or other games. I will hike and run with your dog in the neighborhood or local parks. If your dog likes to swim, we can go to the creek or lake. I am available some weekdays and most weekends. Your dog will be the only pet, full on attention. I hope you choose me to meet your fur baby. I will provide loving care with fun and exercise.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them goes far beyond simply caring for them. I genuinely believe animals are an extension of ourselves, each with their own little personalities, emotions, and ways of communicating. I’ve had cats since I was in 3rd grade and currently have four of my own, so I’ve spent many years learning their needs, behaviors, routines, and the importance of giving them consistent love and attention. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for neighbors’ pets, along with gaining hands-on animal experience working in the animal section at the Alameda County Fair. There, I handled and cared for rabbits and helped visitors safely interact with them. Being around different animals has only grown my appreciation and connection with them. I’m naturally very patient, gentle, and intuitive with animals. I love taking the time to understand each pet’s personality, picking up on their body language, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and timid, or need a little extra affection, I always want them to feel understood and cared for. I have a soft spot for absolutely all animals, regardless of their age, size, or species. Cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, you name it! I honestly love spoiling animals, spending time with them, and treating them like the little family members they are. I don’t believe pet care should ever feel rushed or impersonal. Every animal deserves genuine attention, patience, and affection, and that’s exactly what I strive to give. My goal is for every pet to feel at home with me and for their parents to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I currently have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, so I’m happy to accommodate different routines, schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. I love being able to give pets my full attention, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight stays. You and your pet’s routine and comfort always come first! My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re in a second home, surrounded by love, comfort, and attention. I have a fully fenced and gated backyard for supervised outdoor time, food and water bowls, crates, two litter boxes, and a cat harness and leash if needed. There are no pet doors installed so they can’t sneak out the house, and doors will be closed at all times to prevent accidental escapes. Most of my home is carpeted with some tiles, and pets are welcome on the couches and beds if their owners permit it. I currently have four cats of my own, who are indoor-outdoor cats, but I can absolutely keep visiting pets separated in my own room or another designated space whenever needed. I take introductions and boundaries seriously and will never force animals to interact. Their safety and comfort always come first. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual preferences, whether that means feeding them in a specific location, following their usual meal schedule, administering medication according to their owner’s instructions, or giving them their favorite kind of playtime and affection. I keep a clean environment and make sure every animal is supervised and checked on consistently, even when they’re resting in separate rooms. Communication is something I take very seriously, too. I love sending frequent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day so owners never feel out of the loop. If you’d like, I can even keep a detailed activity log of your pet’s day, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medication, and anything else worth noting. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pet with me as your pet feels staying here. I treat every animal like my own and genuinely enjoy giving them all the extra love, patience, and attention they deserve. Your babies are never just another booking to me. They’re family while they’re in my care.

She has experience with high energy breeds and was totally professional and able to deal with Maple's excited jumping (we're working on it!). She asked all the questions you'd want someone to during the meet and greet, and sent an update and pictures of Maple during the drop in visit.”

About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !

“Kristi was great with my two kitties who came to love her the two weeks she was here. I received daily photos and updates and saw that my boys were happy and loved. My flight home from Portugal was cancelled twice and Kristi was able to save the day by staying with the boys for two additional nights, so I had one less thing to worry about. I came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Thank you Kristi!”

“Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!”

We cannot recommend Meghan highly enough! She absolutely saved us when another sitter unexpectedly fell through the night before we were leaving the country for a two-week trip. With almost no notice, Meghan went out of her way to work us into her already busy schedule, helped us figure out the last-minute logistics, and immediately put our minds at ease. Throughout the entire trip, Meghan was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring with Boba and Coco. Being away from them for two weeks was already a little stressful for us, especially since this was our first long trip since adopting them, but knowing Meghan was looking after them made a huge difference. We always felt confident that they were in good hands. What impressed us most was not just that Meghan stepped up when we were in a bind, but that she remained dependable and attentive throughout the entire booking. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We are extremely grateful to Meghan and would absolutely book with her again. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, flexible, dependable, and genuinely caring with animals, we highly recommend her!

When we returned, our kitty's food and water area as well as her litter box looked neat and well-maintained. Nic even took care of some of our plants while we were gone during the summer heat! We highly recommend her. Your pets will be happy and well-loved while you're gone!

Micheal is an outstanding pet sitter, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. He cared for my two cats throughout December while I was overseas and consistently went above and beyond during every visit. Although each drop-in was scheduled for 30 minutes, he regularly stayed close to an hour to make sure everything was done thoroughly and correctly. I use a non-standard litter box setup (crystal litter with a metal tray and layered liners), and he took the time to learn my system carefully. He was extremely thorough and meticulous when changing and maintaining the litter, which I truly appreciated since it’s different from what most pet owners use. He was attentive to every detail—cleaning and refilling the water system, maintaining the automatic feeder and litter box, vacuuming litter tracking, and ensuring my cats’ environment was safe and comfortable. When unexpected issues came up (such as water tipping over or my cats breaking into their feeder), he handled everything perfectly and even agreed to make an extra emergency visit to fix the problem. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared. He offered thoughtful advice on pet-proofing my home and always communicated professionally and promptly. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were in such caring and capable hands. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional cat care.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Livermore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Livermore is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 1,812 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Livermore. 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 Livermore. On Rover:

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 84% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 86% 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.
