“Abagail was amazing!! She checked in on our 3 pets and sent update pictures each time. We have an older, grumpy chihuahua and she was very patient with him. All the pets were comfortable with her from the start. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I've had dogs ever since I was a kid. Now I have my own dog that I am training to be a service dog and it is going very well. I have also helped train other dogs too. I also regularly go-to animal shelters and spend time with dogs still trying to find a home and help socialize them. I work part time at the Zoo so sometimes I am working a full day. I take my dog to daycare at least once a week to help him socialize and get out more since he is the only dog I have. I do have a lot of exotic animals plus my ferrets that I take care of daily before bed. Especially with the ferrets I make sure they get out and play enough. Your dog will always be supervised indoors and outdoors. I am confident in handling any situation that might happen even if it's navigating helping a nervous or stressed animal.
“Tim is an absolute rockstar with our pups! Even my little timid whippet is comfortable around him and that is no small achievement! I’m so happy that we found Tim!”
“Robyn took care of my two indoor kitties while I was gone for a week she did a great job of what I asked her to do while I was gone and you could tell she respected my house and cats as the way I do and you could tell my cats were very happy being in their own house and not at a boarding place she sent me a text and pictures on a daily basis how things were going which was very comforting to me to see my cats happy I would recommend Robyn to anyone who would like to have a caring person take care of their animals Kevin in Charlotte Texas”
“Dean was great and made sure Ember was taken care of. He even cleaned up some messes Ember made which I appreciate a lot. Ember acted like she she already knew him and loved having him around.”
“Linda took such good care of our puppy while we were on vacation! She gave our dog a lot of love and attention and sent us photos and videos so we could see he was having a great time with her. It was so easy to relax while we knew our puppy was in good hands! We definitely recommend her and would have her watch our puppy again any time. ☺️”
About: I have worked with dogs and cats for over 8 years! I love getting to know new pets, and taking it at their pace until they're comfortable with me. I have extensive experience in canine enrichment, and helping with basic manners (sitting at doorway, leash control, "focus".) I also am Pet First Aid certified! I can't wait to meet your fur-end!

I am very passionate, gentle, and patient! I'm more than glad to accommodate your pet in any way necessary to ensure their happiness and comfort.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 343 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Pleasanton. 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 Pleasanton. On Rover:

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.
