“Highly recommend Jas! Every visit has been so easy and the updates we get are super informative. We had an issue where our cat had a hairball (typical!) and Jas let us know promptly and gave us feeding updates as the cat recovered. Great professionalism and feedback!”


“Lili took great care of my cat Yogurt while we were away! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure he was well taken care of. We really appreciated her help and felt at ease knowing Yogurt was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Lili and book with her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On weekdays, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening, while afternoon walks can be scheduled on a week-by-week basis depending on my on-site work schedule. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls throughout the day. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Another amazing experience with Poppy! She did a last-minute drop-in visit for my cat. My cat trusts her (cat is shy and doesn’t let people get close to take photos, but she let Poppy get close); I trust her too!”

“This was my second time booking with her to look after my two cats, and she was wonderful yet again! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and provides great updates. It’s such a relief to know my cats are in good hands while I’m away. She has officially become my go-to sitter!”


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.
“Irina did a wonderful job looking after our two cats during our 3-day trip. She was punctual, very loving to our cats, and provided great photo updates that gave us total peace of mind. Our cats were happy and well-cared for, and we will definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!”

“Maila did a great job dropping in on our cat, Felix, while we were away for a few days. She even let him play outside for a bit, which I’m sure he loved since he’s an indoor-outdoor cat and doesn’t get to go outside as much when we are traveling.”

“Typical Abra broke a another glass jar while we were out. Rachel was so great at making sure he was safe and cleaned up the whole situation. She's the best!”

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, four cats, fish, and pet rodents growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, a donkey, as well as an adult pet rabbit. 😊 I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.
“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 may be new to dog sitting, but I’m definitely not new to being a dog person! 🐶💗 I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’m so excited to welcome some furry friends into my home and treat them like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, couch cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently working on the weekdays but free on weekends. I’m mostly home during the weekends or outside hiking. Would love for a furry friend to join me on my hikes and lounge with me while watching Netflix! I live with my boyfriend and he will be around but I will be responsible for your pup! ☺️ I currently live in an apartment with my boyfriend Zach! I will be able to provide tons of potty breaks for your furry friend! I also would be around for multiple walks a day. Dogs are welcome on the bed when it comes to sleeping!

“Julia truly cares about your pet and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. She is quick to respond, reliable, trustworthy, and communicates well. Julia is amazing!! Definitely recommend, she's 10 out of 10”

“Thank you for such thorough accounting for everything our boy did on every walk and visit, we truly appreciated it and it helped all of us be able to have a worry-free time away from our dog!”

About: Animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with a pet dog and currently own a cat, so I understand pets as family. Reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I currently work at home via online, meaning, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am doing this mostly because I love animals and I need to get out more. My cat is an indoor cat, she has a wide spacious window in my room where she can observe outside, I also take her outside where there is trees and grass on a harness 1-3 times a week to get some fresh air. She is very mellow and like to sun bath. I am open to outside and inside care!

Lili took great care of my cat Yogurt while we were away! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure he was well taken care of. We really appreciated her help and felt at ease knowing Yogurt was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Lili and book with her again!

Another great experience with Linda! We were originally away for two weeks but ended up coming home early, and she was super sweet and accommodating about the change. Qiuqiu had some sensitivity in his toes this time, and Linda was so observant and thoughtful that she even picked up on those little details. Qiuqiu absolutely loves her, and we always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. So happy to have found her! ❤️

Yujie watched my cats while I was away for a week, and they couldn’t be in better hands!!! She was available to meet them beforehand and while I was away she sent me detailed updates and pictures from them. One of my cats needed daily insulin injections and she handled it really well. I definitely recommend her as a petsitter!!!

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! ⭐️

There’s nothing like piece of mind when you are away from your pet. Zishen and Yukuang are amazing. My cat was pampered and clearly loved by both. They sent many photos and detailed updates every drop in during the two weeks that we were gone. All tasks were completed above and beyond. They also made sure to let us know about a notice that was on our front door. I would recommend them highly to my friends and they are my top choice while I’m away!

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.

Yuemin was very prompt at responding and it was very easy to set up a pre-visit so she could meet our cats and learn where everything is located. She sent daily updates and pictures and even helped to clean up a few accidents that one of our kitties had throughout our home. Thank you Yuemin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Redwood Shores is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 13,615 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Redwood Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Redwood Shores. On Rover:
- 83% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
