“We really appreciate how well Kim cared for our kitty and would highly recommend her to others needing care for their pets. We will hope that she’s available next time we need help with our little cat.”
“Huei D was so incredibly amazing taking care of our finicky black 14 year old cat. She made friends so quickly and was always responsive and gave us updates throughout our trip. I honestly think Nyx is going to be disappointed when we come home to not get daily visits from her new friend. Recommend completely!”
“Amber was fantastic. I came home to a happy and healthy pup. She was a good communicator, left detailed recaps of her visits, and took great photos! I will definitely call on Amber again the next time I have to go out of town.”
“Jonah took wonderful care of our cat, Nali, while we were gone for a month. They were caring, communicative, and responsible. We will definitely reach out to them the next time we are out of town!”
“Susanne was very thorough and friendly. She was also so gentle and cared for my kitties very well. I could see how happy my kitties were to see her when she came to visit. We loved using Susanne and definitely recommend her to friends!”
“Kayley was extremely responsible, communicative and observant in caring for our two bunnies. The care included house sitting overnights and Kayley was also very respectful of our home. She demonstrated thoughtfulness and flexibility throughout, all with good humor and a smile. Would definitely seek her services again!”
“Heleen is our go-to person whenever we need someone we can trust to look after our boy. We have a very shy cat, but he feels completely comfortable with her. On top of that, Heleen is incredibly easy to communicate with, practical, and reliable. She gets things done!”
“Linnea was great! She was on time for our Meet & Greet, asked great questions about my cat Rhys, and maintained great communication before and during the drop-in visits. I appreciate that she took time to get to know Rhys and his cute little personality. And also all the photos I received while I was away! I came back to a happy cat and my home just as clean as I left it. Thank you again Linnea!”
“Julie is very experienced with caring for animals and genuinely care about the wellbeing of the animals. She bounded with them very quickly and all my 3 cats were quite upbeat after the visit. Highly recommend her!”
“Michelle is great with my large and sometimes nervous dog! She’s also very patient when giving my cat oral meds. My pets are comfortable around her and she takes great photos. I’ll be hiring her again!”
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 always been someone who naturally loves being around animals. I grew up with two dogs in my family and later had my own cat, who was a huge part of my life. What I love most about pets is how they give back even more love when you show them love. Their pure trust, kindness, and affection mean so much to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand that every pet is different—some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space and a calm companion. As a pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one at home, and I want to help ease that worry. While I may not be the most professional sitter, I can guarantee that I will treat your pet the same way I would want my own to be treated—with patience, care, and genuine love. Your baby will definitely be in good hands with me. I work part-time as a project manager, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I have a yard for curious pets to explore, and I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood where almost every family seems to have a cat or dog! There are also nearby trails where I can take your dog for a run if they’re energetic, or simply enjoy a relaxing walk at their own pace. I currently don’t have any pets or kids at home, so my home is a quiet and comfortable space, especially for pets who may need a little extra time to adjust. Cats and dogs are absolutely welcome on the furniture and, of course, cuddles are always welcome! ❤️ I want your pet to feel at home and will treat them with the same care and love I would want for my own.
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.

When caring for pets in my home or your home, I tailor the care to ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would with their owner. **In my home**: * I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and interaction.

If they’re staying overnight, I make sure they have a safe, quiet space to sleep and rest, while offering the same attention and care they'd get at home. **In your home**: * I follow the pet’s usual routine closely, whether that’s walking, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll respect your home’s rules and your pet’s personal space, making sure they feel secure and happy in familiar surroundings.

I also make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you're away. Ultimately, I provide personalized, loving care that reflects your pet’s individual needs and routine, whether they’re in my home or yours.
“Kathy came over on short notice and we were able to arrange her services to feed my shy cat, Cody. By the second day they were friends. She has lots of experience and easily followed all instructions. I would definitely use Kathy again!”
About: Hello! Here is a little about me! I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon and am now based in Menlo Park. I have always loved animals and have grown up surrounded by pets my entire life. I have cared for my own pets, fostered animals, and spent lots of time caring for other people’s pets, so I understand how important it is find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and will make sure that they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! Skills/Qualifications: - Patient, attentive, and responsible ❤️ - Comfortable with walks, feeding, and playtime 🦮 - Maintaining daily routines 🏡 - Senior care 🐾 - Medication administration 💊 - Keeping you updated with photos/videos 📸 I am currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology through New York University.

I’ll make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine and give them plenty of attention in the comfort of their own home. I’ll also follow any specific instructions from the pet parent to make sure their pet feels comfortable while they’re away.
“Rachel was amazing taking care of my two kitties while we were away. She was always in communication and kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Rachel !”
About: I’m a proud cat parent to a spoiled, sweet 4-year-old cat named Winston, and I’ve spent years looking after my friends' cats whenever they’re out of town. I know firsthand that felines aren't just pets—they’re family members with their own quirky personalities, strict routines, and personal boundaries! Whether your cat is an energetic kitten, a sweet senior, or a shy feline who takes time to warm up, I meet them where they're at so they feel safe and comfortable. What you can expect from me: Respecting their boundaries: I pay close attention to feline body language. If your cat loves belly rubs and feather wands, I'm all in! If they just want a quiet human nearby while they relax under the couch, I let them set the pace. Keeping their exact routine: Fresh water, strict meal times, clean litter boxes, and their favorite games—I stick precisely to what keeps them happy and stress-free. Thoughtful daily updates: You’ll get detailed updates during every visit, complete with plenty of photos and notes on how they're eating, playing, and lounging. My main goal is to treat your cat with the same love and care I give my own, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I am currently very flexible with my schedule and available throughout the day for pop-in visits, feeding, and quality playtime at times that suit your cat's exact routine. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Since my own cat Winston spends time both indoors and outdoors, I am very familiar with managing both environments and respecting each pet's specific routine and boundaries.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Redwood City is $30

Linnea recently took care of my two cats and I was overall very happy with her service! She was very sweet from the get go and was good about communications before, during, and after the trip. She sent some cute pictures of the cats while I was gone and was respectful of our house while we were away. I would recommend Linnea for your pet sitting needs!
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.
Morgan is attentive and communicative. I really appreciate her updates and photos. My cats love cuddling up to her and I just know they are in great hands! Plus when there was an unexpected service team at the house, she was professional and handled the situation well. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!
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
Criss always does such an amazing job caring for our kitties and our home. We can tell the kitties really enjoy her company and feel at ease knowing they are in good hands when we are away. She is a pleasure to communicate with and we highly recommend her to others looking for pet care.
Nicol is the most patient, kind and caring sitter we ever had. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and the house. Her love and care for our cats makes us feel really reassured and we can travel at peace, thanks to Nicol. I can't recommend her enough.
Julie Mae is the absolute BEST!! She always goes above and beyond for us and our sweet cat Kinsie. She sends lots of pictures, takes extra good care of her, gives her lots of cuddles and love while we’re gone, takes care of litter, food, and water, and even helps with trash/vacuum of the litter! We know Kinsie is always in such good hands with Julie Mae and she will always be our go to :)
Teagan took great care of our cat as always! His tail was so high up in the photos. You can tell he's always super happy to see Teagan. She was really observant and noticed his cat door had an issue and went out of her way to let us know. We really appreciate knowing he's well cared for while we're away!
Once again, Yifan was great with my cat Rhys! I appreciate her attention to detail and her thorough report cards! I enjoyed reading them each evening while away and seeing photos of Rhys. Thank you again Yifan for your thoughtful care of both Rhys and my place!

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 .

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.
