“Very engaged and personable, Lydia was great in setting up for success with pre-visit and key handoff. Took excellent care of two elder cats with feeding, litter cleaning and opportunity for socializing. My cats always hide from new people and don’t warm up easily. Both came out to see and watch, so Lydia has a special good vibe. Provided images and messages for each visit. Have already re-booked Lydia to provide care again. Highly recommend!”
“Josephine went above and beyond for us looking after our two cats while we were away during the holidays. She was always super communicative and provided updates for us on how they were doing each day. I would 100% recommend her for any pet sitting and will definitely be using her to watch after our cats again!”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds. I currently have a two-year-old Yellow Lab who is the sweetest pup I have ever had. She is extremely friendly and loving and is great with other dogs and cats. I currently have a pretty open schedule with my online classes, so I am home most of the time, dogs have access to the backyard at almost all times and are always being watched and monitored for safety. Dogs are taken on walks to nearby parks and around the neighborhood and rides around to the dog park. dogs are fed separately and are fed on a schedule and always have access to lots of fresh water. I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!
About: I’ve had dogs, cats and maybe any other pet animal you could think of. Family friends and coworkers are always happy to bring me their furry friends. I currently work part time and my job has a very flexible schedule there will also always be someone home. Love going on walks or staying in depending on the pup! I have a fenced yard and also have a puppy at the moment very friendly loves big and small dogs and even cats. Can be crated if needed.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hamsters, turtles, and fish, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to make their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am not working but I have a 20 month baby who loves walk, and he is used to big dogs and he loves animals so in the morning he will be my companion in the strollers but in the afternoon after my husband gets home I can walk your dog with no baby. I will sleep with your pet if it is used to, I have a big back hard and can walk all over the house, depends on your routine I will walk your pet as necessary
“I went on a work trip to DC for a week and Brandon made having to leave Drax at home so much easier and took a lot of stress out of it. He provided daily updates and did even more than I even expected him to do. I am sure Drax is going to miss the week he spent with Brandon checking on him and keeping him company”
About: I’ve handled pets of many kinds for the past 10 years, I currently work at a veterinary hospital with the experience and capability to know when there may be an emergency & when care is needed. I love all animals & I look forward to caring for your fur (if they have fur) babies ❤️ I work full time and usually have 3 days off at the end of my week (Thursday-Saturday) I do have availability daily after 6:30 pm. I am very vigilant and observant, I like to be aware of surroundings for your pets safety, I will also have a form signed for your pets well being in case of an emergency or any other urgent reasoning.
About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

“I have hired Nicoletta multiple times and she is the best! My cat has to be medicated twice a day and she was able to keep him on schedule. I always have peace of mind knowing that she’s taking care of Riley.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,717 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rio Vista Junction. 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.

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 .
