“Deborah kindly met us a week before she sat for our large golden doodle. We had our son’s wedding in HMB. Deborah was very accommodating and arranged a working situation to handle our Eliot for a the long day in a hotel. And when asked to add a puppy of a bridesmaid, she happily cared for two distinctly different dogs- large and older/ puppy and miniature. Deborah easily manages dogs large, small, young and old. I’d highly recommend her for any dog owner!!”
“Lehna was amazing. She communicates in a timely manner and clearly loves pets. She took care of my two cats on short notice, and I've never felt more relaxed while away. She documented everything she did on each visit and shared photos. I highly recommend her.”
“I couldn’t recommend Esmeralda more. She is excellent. She was able to accommodate my request last minute. She was able to befriend my very skittish cat. She was extremely reliable, flexible with my schedule and responsive.”
About: Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable San Carlos–based pet sitter offering in-home pet care, house sitting, overnight care, and drop-in visits. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and pet sitting is my full time job, so your pets get plenty of attention. Clear communication, regular photo updates, and respectful care of your home are always my priority. Why pet parents choose me: • 🏡 In-home care specialist – house sitting, overnight stays, and drop-ins are my focus. • 🐶🐱 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats • 💊 Comfortable with medications (oral & topical), seniors, puppies, and kittens • 🤍 Patient with shy or reactive pets • ✂️ Light grooming & nail trims available • 📸 Great communication – consistent updates and photos • 🧼 Respectful of your home – clean, organized, and detail-oriented • 🐾 Pet parent myself – 3 cats & 1 dog Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so your pets will have my full attention and I’m happy to work whatever schedule fits your situation! It is of the upmost importance to me that I respect my client’s homes; the best way I’ve found to do that is to listen to what your preferences are, so I make sure I have a clear understanding of the boundaries that should be respected. My baseline goal is always to leave a home better than I found it, just like my mom taught me!
“Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!”
“Daniela has been so great with our Luna! She’s patient and attentive, and flexed her life to work around Luna’s needs. We are so grateful for her excellent care, detailed updates, and attentiveness. We will definitely be asking Daniela and her husband to help us with our fur babies next time we are out of town!”
“James is the best of the best! Our cat LOVES him and he is truly one of a kind who adores animals! We love having James take care of our cat over and over! Thanks James!”
“Tillana is a wonderful cat sitter! She’s very experienced. She knows how to engage our senior citizen cats and keep them happy. She’s also great at giving medicine and making it easy for the cat. We love all the photos she sends and the extremely detailed reports of how the kitties are doing, what they’re up to, and if she noticed anything different. Tillana goes above and beyond to care for our cats, keeping their litter box super clean, and deep cleaning their water fountain. She also just has a great “cat sense”. She knows when a cat wants attention or quiet time, and if they want to play or just be carried around and watch the birds. We’re so lucky to have Tillana as our cat sitter and we gladly put our full trust in her to take care of our kitties.”
“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”
“Rachel was AMAZING! We couldn't have asked for better care of our 2 bunnies. She sent great photos/updates and had amazing communication. She gave us "peace of mind" while away. I highly recommend her!!”
“Carmen was a fantastic cat sitter for Matilda! I had just moved to San Francisco in November and needed a sitter quickly as I was turning right around leaving for the holidays. Not only is she professional and prompt in her communication, but I could really tell through her daily updates that she was just as detail-oriented when it came to caring for Matilda. I had such a peace of mind leaving Matilda in Carmen's care as I knew she was being loved and cared for. I'm often nervous finding sitters for Cat drop-ins, but Carmen doesn't do the bare minimum just because it's a drop-in visit on a cat. Carmen sent me many photos and videos from each visit and I could tell Matilda trusted Carmen with the pets and her coveted toys. Carmen will now be my go-to sitter from here on out. I can't believe I got so lucky on the first try. Thank you Carmen!”
“Jerri did a great job playing with Kianna while my wife and I were out on a long trip. Jerri provided photos and videos to keep our mind at ease that our little elder cat was have fun and had good company”
“Chelsea is AMAZING! She is so great with our cats—they love her and always come out to greet her despite being very shy. She also accommodated us over a holiday weekend last minute which we will forever be grateful for. She is very communicative, attentive, and considerate. Could not recommend more!”
“Our cat is very anxious and not easy to deal with, but Melissa put a lot of effort into building trust with him and making him feel comfortable while we were away. We really appreciate her patience, attention and care!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 5,854 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lobitos. 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 Lobitos. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
