“Vicki seemed very kind and gentle when I met her and made me feel comfortable with her watching my cats, she sent pictures with each drop in, and responded promptly to the few questions I had. I’m very happy with the service.”
“Kelsei was an amazing kitty/ house sitter. She was great with communication - she snapped cute photos during her visits and we came home to a happy cat. We will definitely request to book with Kelsei again.”
“AMAZING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! Allison was so thorough during our meet and greet to learn my fur child’s preferences, schedules and quirks. My doggie is a rescue who can be very timid with strangers and has never really taken to a care taker, until now. Allison was so patient with her during her check ins and let her warm up at her own speed, and took fantastic care of her. She is very communicative every step of the way, sends lots of pictures, and gave updates on her meals and potty breaks. Within just a couple days my little doglet warmed up and fell in love! I’m so thrilled to have found such an excellent and reliable care taker to look after my child during my work trips! 10000/10 would absolutely recommend 😊”
“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.”
“Cassady has done drop in visits to check on my two cats three times over the past 8 months. I will definitely continue to book them in the future! Cassady is always very dependable and easygoing. It is great to have the peace of mind knowing that my pets are being well taken care of.”
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
“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!”
“Anna was great with Kobi!! This was our first time utilizing the Rover app. We didn’t know what to expect and Kobi requires medication to be administered at specific times during the day. Before the sessions began, we met with Anna so she could meet Kobi and so we could go over his medications, what he likes to do, etc. We could see that she understood everything quickly and that she is very good with pets. Anna was punctual and left detailed feedback for each visit and the “Rover Cards” from the app were provided in real time. Messages were sent each time the sessions began and ended. She even solved a minor issue on the very first visit that was not related to Kobi. It really put our mind at ease since we were out of state and unable to return quickly if we needed to. She used great judgement as the temperatures outside were extreme and she adjusted the time spent in the visits and play activity to suit Kobi’s needs accordingly. We could tell from the many photos that Anna took and posted on the Rover Cards that Kobi was bonding with her and trusted her. A great first experience with the Rover app due to Anna’s professionalism and caring demeanor. We highly recommend Anna and we’re hoping she’ll be available when we decide to go on trips in the future, knowing how well she took care of Kobi!”
“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! 🩶”
“Sydney was great at taking care of my bunnies and keeping me updated on their pet care routine daily. I appreciate her thoroughness and she kept attention to details I mentioned about their physiology and behavior”
“Kylel is very consistent with arrival times, and keeps an excellent log of what has occurred with Koby. He is very patient with Koby during his time, and he gets him to eat better than me at times.”
“Julie is so helpful and considerate. On short notice, I had asked her to drop in on my two cats for a week, and she was kind enough to accommodate me. My cats loved her (even though they are shy) and she went above and beyond with the house as well (taking out trash/recycles, leaving furniture in place for my visually impaired kitty, etc.). With all her check-ins and pictures, she gave me so much peace of mind on my trip as well. 11/10 sitter!”
“Kayla did an amazing job on a few check ins while we were out of town. Our cat Desi has really taken a liking to her, probably because Kayla will brush her out when she stops by. Kayla also went above and beyond and helped revive our plants. Will continue to hire her”
“Thank you so much for taking car of my boys. They were happy to us when we got home, which normally we get the cold shoulder for at least a day. With them being happy, I know they were well taken care of.”
“Leanne is by far my favorite! She took wonderful care of my boys, went above and beyond. I was so relaxed after getting her through, detailed updates. I’m so glad to have found her. I had a wonderful experience booking with her. She was very caring, every pet owner needs a pet sitter like Leanne. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you so much Leanne!!! 😊”
“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.”

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 3,145 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.

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.
