About: Growing up, I have owned my own dogs and taken care of family and friend’s dogs pretty frequently! I have experience with dogs of various personality types and truly love being around all kinds of animals. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and have frequently taken dogs out on day trips to expose them to more of the outside world. I am responsible, reliable, caring, flexible, and have a calm personality. Overall, I really want to be there to help out the people in my community with caring for their pets. I am currently working part time and have a lot of free time to care for your pets and give them the enrichment that they need! I am open to walking, dropping in to play, or watching them for extended time in my own home! I have a fenced in backyard where your pets can play safely and have all the room to run around and explore! I value keeping spaces organized and want to ensure that the people I pet sit for can trust me with taking great care of both their living space and animals!

About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for more than 30 years. I’ve raised and cared for dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including two Labrador Retrievers and a Labradoodle. My second Labrador was a Guide Dog in training who ultimately left the program due to potential physical issues. After she passed away, I became a volunteer with a local Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising club and am an authorized puppy sitter. Through this experience, I’ve cared for puppies in training and understand the importance of consistency, patience, following training guidelines, and paying close attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs requiring special diets, medication, and additional attention. I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and providing individualized care based on each dog’s needs. I’m also familiar with the general grooming and routine care that dogs need, including brushing, nail care, teeth brushing, and basic coat trimming. Most importantly, I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. While I do have occasional work meetings, I'm able to plan walks, visits, and other care around them. My evenings are generally free, and I have additional flexibility on weekends. I enjoy having a reason to step away from my desk during the day and spend some time with a dog or cat. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each owner's instructions closely and make sure their pet's normal routine is maintained as much as possible, including feeding, medications, walks, and other special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and other potential escape routes, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately when outside. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and understand that I’m being trusted with more than just their pet. I’ll keep things clean and secure and communicate with the owner if anything unusual comes up.
“Jas was a great sitter for our two dogs and cat! Communication was great and consistent, and we always got the cutest photos sent over. The pets were very well taken care of and we highly recommend booking Jas.”


“Nina and Leo were very kind and attentive to our cats and gave us a detailed update during every visit. It felt great to have them check in on our cats while we were gone!”


“Julia was wonderful! She dropped in to care for my 2 cats for three days. Her Rover cards were awesome with tons of pics and great feedback about her visit. Would definitely recommend!”


About: I have been around and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! In the past I have worked at a pet care and boarding facility for over four years and I have four pets of my own. Constantly being around animals has taught me a lot and I am committed to continue learning . I am comfortable handling any breed of dog, energy levels , and size. Older dogs that might need medication are also no problem. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animals. My biggest goal is building trust with and your fur baby and providing the best care possible. I currently work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible and I am available when needed! I can also be very flexible on the weekends and can accept last minute bookings. When taking care of your baby my biggest goal is to gain their trust and do all the fun things you would normally do. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets and shower them with love. I work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible, especially after 5pm I can accept more bookings. On the weekends I am completely open and accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would really enjoy playing your pets, taking them on walks, and anything that you recommend doing that you know they would really enjoy. Making sure they are comfortable and happy is my biggest priority.
About: Since I was a child I always had dogs with me, I think they are the noblest creatures in the world and they deserve exceptional life and care, my dog's name is Clyde he is a super dog, he has a great level of intelligence, he is a really polite and happy dog. I believe that having a job like this one is more than PRRRRFECT 😍! I'm the type of person that if I walk and see someone walking a dog I make eye contact with the dog first than with his human. Patience is one of my main characteristics when we talk about dogs, I have always thought that I have a natural connection with them, they give me confidence and I inspire confidence to them. I am currently a student at Foothill College, so Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to balance my class and homework schedule while earning some extra income. My schedule is pretty flexible since I'm only taking one class at the moment. I'm available for house sitting and dog walking services. Since I live in a small space, I'm not able to offer boarding, but I'm happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home or take them on walks. I also have a 15-years-old dog who has been my loyal companion and best friend for many years. Caring for him has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive pet care. Looking after animals, including my own, is one of my top priorities, and I'll treat your pet with the same love and care I give to mine.

About: Does your doggo need a stay-at-home auntie in its life? Get ready for lots of photos and updates because your babies will get 24-7 attention at Casa de Barbara. ** I am a work-from-home writer/editor, and my husband is a scientist working in biotech. Aside from our very friendly poodle mutt (pictured in profile), the last member of our household is our daughter. She is great with dogs, having grown up learning how to nicely pet our pup. ** Some of the dogs that I have watched over the years have been coming to me longer than I’ve known my husband. We look forward to adding yours to the pack! ** Outside, your pet will get minimum 3 walks and/or off-leash time at a dog park. Inside, we will nap together in between rounds of fetch. ** My family is what you might consider perfect for your dog’s stay: pretty boring! 🤣 We don’t go out much, and if we do, we don’t stay out late. ***

About: I’ve had experience caring for and spending time with both small and large dogs, including dogs belonging to family and friends. I’ve also provided overnight care for a senior dog, which included following a medication schedule and making sure they received their food properly. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’m excited to provide reliable, loving care. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the opportunity to take them on walks, give them plenty of attention, and help them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! I recently finished college and will be starting a full-time job, so I’m looking to provide pet care during my available hours. I’m especially interested in morning dog walks or drop-in visits around 5–6 AM, as well as afternoon availability after work. Other than that I can work weekends but open to accommodate any hours for specific needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to following any instructions provided by their owner. I’ll always treat your home and belongings with respect and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and supervision. My goal is for you to feel confident and worry-free while your pet is in my care.
“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals.

Morgan took care of our two kittens for 2 weeks! It gave my husband and I so much peace of mind knowing that they were with her. She made sure they were well fed, clean, loved, and entertained while we were away. She was always very communicative and responsive. I could not recommend her enough.

We moved recently and so glad that we got to meet with Julia. She took great care of our cat, Mango, while we were away. She is very reliable, timely and she sent us daily updates and pictures &videos. We felt comfortable knowing that Mango was in great hands! Thank you!
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!

Chriss was amazing with our two cats! They loved her and she did so well playing with them. Her Rover report cards were super detailed and she sent absolutely adorable photos of the cats. We were so happy knowing they were in good hands and will definitely book her again and recommend anyone else book her as well!
Leonie was absolutely wonderful! She accepted my booking at the last minute, which was such a huge relief, and took amazing care of my cats while I was away. One of my cats has hyperthyroidism, so it meant a lot to know she was being well cared for and closely looked after. Leonie kept me updated with pictures , was reliable, and gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Leonie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Redwood City on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 6,616 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 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.

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.
