“Lehna was a fantastic cat sitter, my cats loved her and she took great care of them. They warmed up to her immediately and she was extremely thorough and communicative throughout the entire week. Thanks again, Lehna!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. Every dog I've dog sat or walked has now become a repeat customer or booked another stay this summer! We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk. I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
“Victor was absolutely amazing! He did a 3x visit a day for my dogs and cat while I was out of town for a few day. Victor went above and beyond to make sure the pets were well supervised loved, taken care of and also made sure I got adorable videos. Thank you Victor for taking such great care of the house and the fur babies :) we absolutely appreciate your attention to detail and care for animals!”
“We engaged Chenyang for several drop-in visits to take care of our cats. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She’s detail-oriented and took photos of her work to assure us that everything was in order. She’s very kind and gentle to pets and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We would definitely work with her next time!”
“Mia was fantastic with Bucket and Opus! She took such great care of them and went above and beyond throughout the stay. She often spent more time with them than I had booked, sent tons of photos and updates, and even watered my plants while I was away. It was really reassuring to know they were getting so much attention and care, and they clearly seemed comfortable and happy with her. I’d absolutely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, growing up helping care for my mom’s dogs and friends’ pups in the pandemic. I’m also an experienced side-groomer with my own dog, so I’m attentive to behavior, hygiene, routines, and individual needs. Your pup will get patient, reliable, loving care. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability, including early mornings and weekends. I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and can commute by public transportation or bike. I have a dog of my own, so please let me know upfront if you’d prefer our pets not to meet—we’ll respect your boundaries. I’m currently offering care in your home, not boarding at mine, though that may change in the future. I am open to traveling to anywhere in the SF area and as south as Pacifica, Burlingame/San Mateo area.
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of many of them. Happy to take young adults on tiring runs. Also enjoy a gentle walk with an old fella. Currently working on some entrepreneurial pursuits, which means my schedule is very flexible. With enough of a head up I can likely accommodate what ever needs you have. I happy to follow what ever boundaries are set for the care of your per. As well as follow any guidelines for care of your home.
“Rachel completed 2 drop in visits for us for EZ, our cat while we were out of town. She came over before the visits to meet EZ and get the lay of the land. Her communication was great and followed all of our instructions and needs. We really appreciated all of the pictures and thorough updates. We would definitely trust her to take care of our baby again!”
“I so appreciate Lindsey's superb care of our cat and house during a recent five-day trip. Lindsey is prompt, capable and an excellent communicator. Our energetic cat thrived on Lindsey's watch. Lindsey went above and beyond—including helping me get to the airport and back on time. It was great to return home to a happy, healthy cat and tidy house! Thank you, Lindsey!”
“Samantha was wonderful with my pets. My cats require a few extra steps since they do not get along very well, but she followed my instructions perfectly without any issues. She was very communicative, arrived when she said she would, and most importantly, I came home to two happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Samantha, and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter.”
“Leanne is absolutely amazing! She’s not only great with my cat. And went extra foxing my broken auto little box despite that I’ve given up and said I’m coming home the next day anyway so no worries. But she did some research and fixed the damn litter box! Saved the day!”
About: My name is Steffany and I'm excited for the opportunity to care for your pet. I have a lifetime of loving animals and cared for many dogs and cats of my own over the years.

About: I'm an animal lover who enjoys spending time with both cats and dogs. I have several years of experience fostering pets and caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I'm also an experienced photographer, so you can expect plenty of high-quality photos and videos while you're away - I love keeping pet parents updated and reassured! I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I'm constantly learning more about animal behavior and love growing alongside the pets I look after. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets get consistent care, playtime, and companionship, and I communicate clearly with pet parents about timing and availability. I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable in their own home environment by following all care instructions closely and respecting household routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, keep litter boxes and feeding areas clean, and monitor pets carefully for any signs of stress or discomfort. I always communicate clearly and send frequent photo and video updates for peace of mind.
“We booked Dylan for drop in visit for a week while we are out of town. Our two cats seemed pretty comfortable with him. We were pleasantly surprised that shy one came out and was hanging around when he visites. He took a lot of photos of the cats each time he visited and followed the instructions we left for him. Overall we are happy with the service. The house was relatively clean when we got back. We did find out later that the cats threw up on their litter mat and we had to clean it up. It made the area smelly. If there is anything that I think Dylan could do better for his future clients, it would probably be noticing and helping with things such as opening the windows to let air out or cleaning up the pet mess. Although I didn't specifically leave instructions for him to open the window.”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid, from guinea pigs and turtles to cats and dogs! I have a genuine love for all animals and treat every pet with kindness, patience, and respect. I enjoy getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm currently available for part-time pet care. As an artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet sitting, walks, and visits throughout the week. I'm looking forward to staying active in my community while spending time with some furry friends! I treat every client's home with the same care and respect as my own. Keeping the space clean, safe, and organized is important to me, and I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“From the moment we booked, Regina was communicative, punctual, and incredibly thoughtful. She took wonderful care of our cats and we received regular updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, everything was spotless—my house looked even better than when we left it.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and wouldn't have it any other way. I grew up with three Whippets, a Toy Poodle, and two cats, caring for them from puppyhood right through their senior years. I've also competed in dog shows and won Champion of Baltic States several times. I'm experienced with sighthounds (Whippets, Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds), Toy Poodles, and all size dogs. I've handled breeding dogs, newborn puppies, pregnant moms, and specialized diets. I'm comfortable training dogs in obedience, potty training, loose-leash walking, and recall. The two cats I had lived to 17 and 18! I'm comfortable with all their needs. I've also ridden and trained horses since I was 10. I am a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals, knows their quirks and needs, and treats your pets like they're my own. Whether it's a senior dog needing extra care, a puppy needing attention, or a cat who prefers routine, I've got you covered. I’m currently in between jobs, having just moved back to the Bay Area from Paris. That means I can take care of your pets almost any time and be very flexible with last minute bookings. I am very attentive to follow the exact instructions that clients have regarding their pets and homes. Having years and years of experience with all types of animals, I have developed a good common sense about their needs and moods.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Montara
Lehna is truly a Cat Whisperer; our antisocial, anxious cats did so well under her care, could not be more pleased! Her updates were so helpful, and her attention to detail impressive. Cannot recommend enough- if you’re nervous about taking a break from your fur-babies, book Lehna; they’ll be in good hands. ☺️
I have booked Sandra multiple times for drop-in visits for my kitties. She has always been reliable, punctual, and attentive to my fur babies’ needs and my instructions, making sure that despite my absence they receive the care and routines that they’re accustomed to. I highly recommend her!
We requested zoeyanne at the last minute, less than a day before our trip and she responded promptly confirming the stay. She was great! Very punctual and took good care of the cat. I was worried Petra (my cat) would hide the whole time because she’s shy but she was so friendly and interested in Zoeyanne! The photos added were really cute and nice too. Would absolutely hire her again.
Stephen and Erica watched our cat during the Christmas holidays (and agreed to do so on relatively short notice!) and we came home to a happy cat who had received some new toys for Christmas. It was great getting to see pictures of her while we were away and know that there was someone around to make sure that she was eating and getting some attention. Would definitely boom with Stephen and Erica again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Montara is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 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.

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.

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.
