She did everything we asked, and even managed to get our shy Siamese to come out for pets and treats. We will definitely be using Yuzki again to take care of our pets! Thanks, Yuzki!”

About: I have been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. Because of this, I feel that I’ve built up 10 years of experience. But I have been offering professional pet care for 6 years, to friends and family. I’m happy to accommodate to any specialized care instructions! I do have a day job, so I would do check ins throughout the day, mainly in the afternoon. I do offer overnight stays but the same check in system will apply due to my schedule. I provide attentive visits that include feeding, fresh water, walks or cleaning, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on your pets personality. I’ll give them gentle care, attention, and companionship so they feel calm and loved.

About: I share my home with three beloved cats—one is 5 years old, and two are 8. Caring for them has given me years of hands-on experience and a strong understanding of cats’ needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and playtime, and I know when to offer attention and when to give them space. While my feline family keeps me from having a dog of my own, I’m the person my friends turn to when they need someone to care for their dogs while they’re away. I’ve looked after a Labrador Retriever and a Shiba Inu, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’d love to make more furry friends and help your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I’m working from home with flexible schedules. It’s easy to adapt my routine to visits. I can make plans as long as the appointments could be made in advance. I’m open to visits to client’s home for caring for cats/any dog breeds. I have socialized cats at home, dog friendly. So I’m open to small/medium dogs day care at my home. For large dogs, meet & greet is necessary as I can only accept well trained large dogs considering my cats at home. Please note that there’s a swimming pool at my house. I’m open to let dogs play in the pool as long as the dog know how to swim. Otherwise, I will keep them away from the backyard for safety concerns.

About: I've been caring for pets for several years, beginning with my family's two cats and later helping care for a neighbor's cat. Since then, I've had the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs through repeat house-sitting and drop-in visits. My experience includes caring for multiple cats on several occasions, house sitting for three dachshunds while maintaining their feeding schedule and providing medication for one with back issues, and caring for dogs of different sizes, including pit bull's and a medium-sized mixed-breed dog. I take pride in keeping pets on their normal routine and providing a calm, comfortable environment while their owners are away. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel at ease, knowing they'll receive dependable and attentive care. My schedule is currently very flexible as I work at a yoga studio, this allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need regular drop-in care or overnight house sitting, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I'll do my best to work around your schedule and am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities - every step (or paw print) of the way! Your pet's health and comfortability is my top priority! I strive to keep the environment and schedule for your beloved pets the same as if you were home. I follow medication schedules, feeding schedules, and all your desires and needs to keep your fur-baby happy and healthy.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I'm a caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. I've owned dogs my entire life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether you're heading to work, taking a vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. In addition to my personal experience, I worked at PetSmart, where I was responsible for caring for all of the animals on the sales floor. This included feeding, cleaning habitats, monitoring their health and behavior, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for each day. That experience taught me the importance of paying close attention to animals, recognizing when something may be wrong, and providing consistent, attentive care. I offer pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to follow your instructions carefully and provide individualized care. I'm responsible, detail-oriented, and someone you can count on to treat both your pets and your home with respect. I understand how important communication is when you're away, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I strive to create a calm, positive experience so they can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I've owned dogs my entire life, so I'm very familiar with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. Additionally, I have owned English bulldogs, so I am very familiar with any special medications your pets may need. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to! I am currently a student at Foothill College, so when I'm not in class, my schedule is pretty flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care depending on your pet's needs. I understand the importance of consistency in a pet's routine and will do my best to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special routines or preferences. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of exercise and attention, and a clean living space. I also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and cats, thanks to family and friends who have plenty of pets. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I’m always easily drawn to play, cuddle, and care for them. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work part-time from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m usually available in the afternoons and evenings, and some days I’m free in the mornings too. Taking care of pets fits really naturally into my day —I love making time for feeding, playtime, and keeping them company. It’s easy for me to adjust my routine to make sure your pet feels cared for and happy. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to keep them feeling safe, comfortable, and happy. I stick closely to their normal routines—whether that’s feeding, medications, playtime, or just giving them some extra attention. I make sure their space stays clean and calm, and I always take my time to build trust so they feel relaxed while you’re away.

Chelsea is one of the best cat sitters we have ever had! Our cat, Raven, is typically very shy, but she absolutely LOVED Chelsea. Honestly, I think she might love her more than she loves us! 😂 Chelsea was incredibly communicative, asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, sent wonderful pictures every day, and spent so much quality time playing with and caring for Raven. She was also exceptionally attentive to Raven’s mood, eating, and drinking. One day when she thought Raven might not be feeling well, she even offered to come back that evening to check on her again. That level of care and thoughtfulness really sets her apart! We felt so comfortable knowing Raven was in such amazing hands and would book Chelsea again in a heartbeat. We cannot recommend her highly enough! ⭐️

Kenneth took wonderful care of Nono while I was away. This was a fairly last-minute booking, and I really appreciated how quickly he stepped in and handled everything so well. When I got back, Nono was active, happy, and clearly well cared for. I could tell her injections were administered properly, and although I wish I had left more detailed instructions, Kenneth managed everything exceptionally well. He also went above and beyond with the household care. Everything was even tidier than when I left. He cleaned the food cans, neatly prepared and pressed the cat food, and paid attention to details that even I don't always have the patience for. The photo updates were great and gave me a lot of peace of mind during my trip. I would absolutely book Kenneth again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.

Nina and Leo are awesome, caring cat sitters. My 3 cats are not used to being around other people. Nina and Leo went more than the extra yard to help them feel comfortable while I was away, especially with my most nervous cat with special feeding needs. They were able to calm her down, hold her, feed her, and were rewarded when she showered them with special purrs, slow eye blinks, and other kitty signs of affection. They also did a great job communicating with me during their visits and in between, as I sent them updates based on kitty cam activity. I am thrilled to have found them and look forward to having them back again. Thank you Nina and Leo

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Redwood City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Redwood City is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $49 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 October 2026, there are 6,639 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Redwood City. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Redwood City. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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 , 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.
