About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including birds, rodents, cats, and dogs of all ages. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personality traits, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. My friends often joke that I love animals more than people. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My primary focus is drop-in visits and house sitting, as many pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and updates while you’re away. I also offer boarding for pets who do well away from home, providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment where they’ll be treated like family.
About: I grew up helping my grandpa on his ranch and now as an adult my dog is my bestfriend I thank him everyday for my love for animals! I work 100% remote and would love to have another furry coworker! Also big into running so I’m looking for my next running partner! Would love to take your dog out during the day maybe even at night! My dog is super well behaved but spoiled she thinks she human and I can’t imagine life without her. I treat every dog like they are my own a blessing!
“Highly recommended! Heleen was absolutely amazing with my cat. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and clearly loves animals. She was also super responsive to all my messages, which gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.
About: I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Starting in late August I will be unable to visit your pet between 8am-12:30pm during the week as I am a part time preschool teacher. However, I can spend all weekend taking care of your pet. Even though I am working part time, I am more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet when you're not able to so they have company until you return home! As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, but they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.
“Lisa did a great job watching our sweet, shy cats for a week. While they hid during her visits, we arrived to them in the best spirits of any of our travels so far. She was very communicative and left photos each day and also left our home in great shape. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have been raising a cat for more than 8years. I have been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for the longest time as well. I have hosted doggos from friends and neighbors for 3-5 times. I am pretty flexible on weekends. For weekdays, I need to leave for work early, so the visit is preferably after 3pm. On Monday or Thursday I get home after gym sessions so it will be after 7pm I respect all animal’s own personality. I do not get close at first especially if they showed fear or stress. I check food expiration before feeding. I do not go to areas that I do not need to go. I will come by with full covered clothes in case of accidents. I will treat your baby the same way I cherish mine. My boyfriend might come with me if I am taking care of a dog to help out in case.
“We had an amazing experience with Xiangling! From the very beginning, communication was clear and reassuring. Bella was shy at first, but she was patient, gentle, and clearly understand cats. Bella felt safe to interact with her at subsequent visits. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat and a clean space, which says everything. With a lot of photos and updates, she gave us real peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to any pet parents!”
“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. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”
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.
“Patrycja was fantastic!! She went above and beyond, sending me tons of pictures and updates about my cats while I was away. I would absolutely book her again to look after my cats.”
“Julissa took such great care of our kitties while we were away! She was on time, attentive, and really took the time to engage with our kitties. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”
“Rong was super sweet and really attentive with Stella. Stella usually takes a while to warm up to people, but she seemed very comfortable with Rong right away. Rong also paid attention to the little things around the apartment and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, personalities, and ages. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra patience and attention, I am committed to providing the best care possible and adapting to each pet’s unique needs. When I care for your dog, they will receive plenty of love, attention, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. I also have a fur baby of my own, a Golden Retriever, who is full of love, energy, and personality! I am currently home full-time and available for drop-in visits, walks, boarding, and house sitting when needed. I have a flexible schedule, communicate quickly, and am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give them all the love and attention they deserve! I just graduated from San José State University, so I have lots of free time and flexibility to give your pups all the love and care they deserve! In both my home and clients’ homes, I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I’m very attentive, patient, and organized, and I always make sure pets feel relaxed, safe, and cared for like they’re my own.
“Bergen was amazing with my cat! She kept me updated with photos and messages every visit, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. She went above and beyond and made sure my cat felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I worked as a Vet Tech at Banfield Pet Hospital from 2007 - 2010. I then started working for a local pet sitting company for 3 years. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals from chickens, to reptiles and special needs dogs and cats. I'm comfortable giving medication and keeping a close eye on your pets health. When I'm taking care of your pet, I'm treating them as my own! I'm available for long term overnight stays. I have a flexible full-time job, so I can fit in a midday potty break for your pup! Whatever rules you have for your pet, is what I will reinforce. I want to keep them on the schedule you have set for them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life and they are my favorite animals. My neighbors and friends trust me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’m currently working a very flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to hangout and take care of my dog and other dogs. I am also very athletic and am always going on runs with my dog. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard and a 6 year old playful lab to keep your pup company. The bay trail is right behind my house so taking the dogs on walks is super safe!
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Redwood Shores is $30
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Redwood Shores
Bo was wonderful! This was our first time using the Rover app, and trusting a stranger with your pet can be a little nerve-wracking. She is very kind and trustworthy. She sent us detailed updates every morning along with plenty of pictures from each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. Mr. Toms clearly enjoyed spending time with her! We will definitely be booking with Bo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
This was my second time booking with Jennifer. She clearly loves cats and has such a wonderful understanding with my shy cat Charlie. She's also just the nicest person and was a lifesaver for me this trip -- she went out of her way to be available on days she wasn't originally scheduled as available, including a last minute addition after her last scheduled visit, when my return flight was massively delayed.
Yiheng was absolutely wonderful! I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and everything was spotless. She took such great care of both my cats and my home. She sent lots of photos and detailed updates after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I always knew how my cats were doing, what they ate, how they behaved, and all the little details that showed she was really paying attention to them. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with Yiheng again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter!
Mackenzie took wonderful care of our cat for an extended period of time. After every visit, she sent us detailed updates that gave us great peace of mind. We truly can’t thank her enough. Thanks to her, we never had to worry about our cat while we were away. Since she is a cat owner herself, she built a great bond with our cat. I would highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.
I cannot recommend this sitter enough! They took absolutely wonderful care of my cat, Anya. They were incredibly responsible and detail-oriented—making sure to refill her dry food, top off her automatic water fountain, and even fill up her extra water bowls. They also gave her the exact treats I left out (freeze-dried treats and Temptations) and spent a long time actively playing with her. In addition, they also sent me the most beautiful, high-quality photos of her! I felt completely at ease. Highly, highly recommend!
Yuemin is the best!! I've booked her so many times and she always does a great job. She sticks to my notes exactly, so I never have to worry about details getting missed. You can tell she truly cares about the cat she's watching, not just clocking in and out. Highly recommend Yuemin!
Xiangling took wonderful care of our cat. She is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. Qiuqiu quickly became comfortable with her. Every day, she follows the instructions and do the routines, also send us lots of photos and videos, along with thoughtful updates about how Qiuqiu was doing. Seeing him so relaxed and happy gave us huge peace of mind. Qiuqiu sometimes pees on the sofa so we always put pad on our sofa. She adjusted the shape and placement of the pad to help prevent accidents. It wasn’t something we specifically asked her to do—it was simply her paying close attention to his habits and finding a thoughtful solution. That level of care really stood out to us. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Xiangling to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive cat sitter. We will definitely book with her again!

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 Redwood Shores. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
