“Ronnie was great. He came over and met my pups before our visit. Set realistic boundaries and stuck with me to get setup on my garage door opener to get access to my home. The pups did really well with Ronnie and our short trip was wonderful and I was super relaxed knowing Ronnie would be there to watch over my babies.”
About: My house has always been a home to a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to tortoises, bunnies, fish, and hamsters. Growing up surrounded by them means caring for animals has become a natural part of my life, and I developed a deep love for them early on. I am currently working part-time as an intern at ASU, and hours are very flexible, so I can be available to care for your pets whenever needed! I would feed them on schedule and play with them for hours. I would follow the exact instructions given and make sure to give them their medicine on time if necessary.
About: Hello, I'm Shelby! I've been petsitting and babysitting for my friends and family since high school. I've lived with dogs of all sizes and cats my whole life. I currently care for our sweet senior pittie mix with special medical and dietary needs. I also have had pet rats in the past. I would love to take care of your pets, whether that's house sitting or drop ins! I have reliable transportation and I would be happy to video chat or meet up in person to see if I'm the right fit for your needs. I'm currently a graduate student and an intern, which means I'm out of the house for ~8 hours at a time on Mondays-Thursdays. I can do house-sits and drop ins on weekdays for animals who can be left alone for long periods of time. My weekends are free to care for the animals who need more frequent potty breaks, walks, and attention. I can do multiple week-long house sits with instructions about household and pet care. I love to play and cuddle with animals, and I can take them for walks in the mornings and evenings when it's not too hot! I can keep on top of a regular feeding + potty schedule. If your pet has medicines, a special diet, or any other special needs I am completely able to accommodate.
“Hannah was great! Friendly, nice, and overall very easy to communicate with. We had no worries leaving our fur baby at home while we went on vacation as he was left in good care with Hannah. Definitely would recommend!”
“Markie took great care of my cats while I was away & provided regular updates & pictures. My cats are typically shy around new people but they liked her right away! She was also kind enough to bring a package inside while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up around pets taught me that every animal has their own unique personality. Whether your fur baby is super energetic, a couch potato, aloof, or a bit shy, I easily adapt to what makes them feel safe and happy. I'll always treat them like my own! Beyond pet care, I'm a part-time college student working toward my nursing degree, driven by a genuine passion for helping others and making a positive difference in the world. I also work at a daycare in the infant room! My background in childcare has helped me build a deep well of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care qualities that carry over directly to how I look after your beloved pets. 😊 My full-time work schedule leaves my weekday mornings and evenings wide open for your pets! I’m available for daily drop-in visits, plus longer, uninterrupted stays and extra quality time on the weekends. 🥳 I will treat your fur babies like my own and make sure their usual routine is followed! Every animal has such a unique personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special! As I build my presence on this platform, my main priority is giving you total peace of mind and making sure your pets feel completely safe, happy, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your sweet pets! 🩷
“Jessica was wonderful! She kept me updated, took great pictures, was patient with my potty-training puppies, was able to accommodate schedule changes and my girls absolutely loved her. I will be using her again and would highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t ask for better dog sitters! One of our dogs is very anxious to loud noises, but Allison & Josh are incredibly experienced. They kept us updated throughout the holiday weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for, comfortable, and loved the entire time. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, and that means everything to us. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I grew up having all animals in my life. From my own house having turtles, birds, Guinea pigs,5 dogs and almost 15 cats!(no joke!) my aunt I’m very close with also had a small farm with lots of farm animals that I’ve helped take care of. Again I’m a super big animal lover and have no problem taking care of easy pets or difficult bigger pets like 100+ pound dogs. I also have many references that go back 8 years long I’m currently working part-time in the slower season of my job at U-Haul moving and storage. My work shifts are usually around six hours long 3-4 days a week so I have plenty of free time and availability. I also am able to take a lunch break if needed to go check on or feed your pets while at work! Currently, I am living in an apartment with my mom who is also an animal lover and helps me take care of any animals that I might have staying over but I usually do stick to smaller animals being brought into my home since I do have a cat already. I usually prefer to go to your house or possibly asleep at your house if you’re gone for the weekend so that way I’m able to give nonstop care and attention to the animal. I also am very easy-going and do not require much when staying at your home! As well, I have many references for taking care of animals for taking care of house houses plants and anything in between
“Kelsei has been absolutely amazing with Murphy! She is always willing to go the extra mile with him, treating him to walks, fetch, and training exercises! Kelsei is very communicative always providing us with a great summary of her time with Murphy along with lots of pictures!”
“Kiersten was beyond amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be asking for her help again:) Kiersten went out of her way to set up a meet-and-greet with our two dogs before she started dogsitting. She took great care of them, was always on time, and was extremely responsive to our messages. We felt no stress and knew our pups were in great hands. Thank you, Kiersten! So excited to have you help again soon!”
“The best cat sitter I have ever hired. Madison exceeded every expectation- It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine loved her. She is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and just the nicest person. Throughout my trip, she sent thoughtful updates and photos daily that gave me complete peace of mind. I would recommend Madison without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again. She is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter and more.”
“Exceeded all expectations! From the initial meeting, I knew my fellow inmates would receive expert care while I was away. We're all mad here, but we can use apps for that too. Thanks Rover and especially thanks Nicole! 🩶”
“I reached out to Jennifer as a last minute booking forbmy cmvacation when my regular pet sitter had an emergency and couldnt watch my place. She was quick to respond and set up a meeting right away. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my cat. I appreciated the updates and photos.”
“I exclusively book with Vicky because she has shown me that she is dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. She takes good care of my cats and she seems to really like them, I appreciate her services!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From snow days and trampoline adventures with my dog Bear to life with my two loyal Rhodesian Ridgebacks, animals have always been my happy place. These days, our sweet rescue Stella keeps life calm and cozy, and I still find that animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I’ve even taken obedience training classes because I genuinely love learning more about dog behavior and communication. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, gentle seniors, big dogs, little dogs, and yes — cats too (even if we can’t have them at home because of allergies). My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m home during summers and school breaks, including two weeks each in fall, winter, and spring. My work schedule when teaching allows me to stop by home during lunch to check in on pets and I’m home by 3:30 PM leaving the evening open for playtime and companionship. Our two boys (13 and 15) also love animals and are learning responsibility by helping care for pets alongside me — giving extra love, playtime, walks, and attention. As a family, we’re able to comfortably provide care in our home or stop by for feedings, walks, check-ins, and play visits throughout the day. During the school year, I’m available before 7:00 AM and after 3:30 PM. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! I love greeting them with excitement, giving them attention, playtime, cuddles, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks or runs, playing fetch, and honestly love when they get the zoomies and show their personalities. Safety is always a priority. In our home, pets are supervised and can be safely crated or given their own quiet room if needed for rest, comfort, or separation. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play and a dog door so pets can move in and out comfortably throughout the day. We do have a pool that is not fenced, so I make sure dogs are monitored outside and will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor access and supervision. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, exercised, and loved.
“Kylel was very dependable and I really appreciated him checking on my dog while I was away. My dog is very difficult and has lots of energy and can get very aggressive so I appreciated his courage and patience with Mega❤️”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
We were excited to go on vacation knowing that Jessica would be watching our two fur babies. It was great reading her updates each morning we were gone and to know that they were being loved and in good hands. She was reliable and made sure we came back home to a happy house.
Madison has a very gentle nature that my cats were drawn to immediately. I trusted her because she is a vet assistant and has devoted her life to caring for animals. I was called to go on a business trip for 2.5 weeks, and Madison rose to the occasion and hung in there with daily updates and photos to keep me in touch with them while I was gone. The cats were happy and relaxed when I returned home and I am very grateful for her loving care while I was gone.
Kiersten allowed us to fully enjoy our time away from home! She took such good care of my cats and dog, and went the extra mile to make sure that the home was taken care of while we were not here. We feel very lucky to have had her watch our kids, and can’t wait to have them babysit again!
Kelsei was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure all of our variety of pets were happy and cared for. She took wonderful pictures of all of them every day that made us smile when we were away. She befriended the shy kitty, the spicy parrot, our lizard, and our other animals. I could tell she learned the personalities of each of them and gave them loving care accordingly. We will definitely book her again if she's available on our next vacation. Highly recommended!
We love Ariel! Every time she takes care of our dog and cat she goes above and beyond. This time our dog got sick and threw up a couple times on our carpet and we came back to it cleaned up and our girl taken care of. We’ll never not leave them with Ariel if she gets have the choice! She’s our go to forever.
So lucky to have found Amanda last minute. My cat is absolutely in love with Amanda and I rebooked with her before her first job was even up. I am so glad to have found her and definitely plan on booking with her in the future. Great communication and lots of pictures! Everything I could have asked for!
This was our second time booking with Lillian, and she was great as always! She sends detailed updates and lots of photos, which really gives us peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about Lumi and takes the time to play with him and make sure he’s doing well. We’re so thankful for her help and would definitely book with her again!
Maria and her son were great at taking care of my dog and cat while I was away. She followed instructions, had great communication, and left my place looking good. When I came home, my pets were calm and seemed to get lots of good attention and care while I was away. Thanks, Maria!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in San Carlos on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,183 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across San Carlos. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Carlos. On Rover:

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.
