“Dani is awesome! We hired her because of her great reviews and everything went perfectly. She has great attention to detail and gives updates during her visits which we appreciate. We already scheduled her for next month.”
“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!”
“she did an amazing job watching my moo moo cat! she provided a bunch of pictures and spent time w her and i could tell my kitty was happy and comfortable the whole time. she was also super quick to reply when i had any questions or concerns! i would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter in the area!”
“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.”
“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! 🩶”
“We absolutely love having Ally & Joey care for our two dogs! They do such a great job keeping them active, entertained, and giving them plenty of attention. By the time the visit is over, both dogs are completely worn out and happily rest until their next visit! It’s obvious how much they genuinely care about our dogs, and we always feel confident knowing they’re getting lots of love, exercise, and attention. Our dogs get so excited to see them, and we couldn’t be happier with their care. We highly recommend Ally & Joey!”
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.
“Very happy with Vicki as a sitter. Took great care of my kitty and followed all instructions. Visits were on time and responds to messages promptly, will happily rebook next time I’m out of town.”
“Markie was dependable and really took time to interact with our cats. They really seemed to like her, which is rare for our little curmeowdgeons. We will definitely ask her to come by the next time we go out of town!”
“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!”
“Julie has been nothing but amazing for my two cats. She's incredibly responsive and professional with her check ins. I had a sort of last minute request and she didn't even hesitate to help out (thank you again for that!) I'd highly recommend her for checking in on your cats!”
“This was my first usage of the Rover App and it won't be my last. Emma was friendly, professional, prompt, efficient, and effective. Don't let her rates mislead you into thinking you are getting less of a service. I highly recommend her and will utilize her services in the future. Great job and Thank you!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Adult dogs can thrive with a feeding routine, fresh water, regular exercise, enough potty breaks, and good sleeping habits—and of course, quality time with their favorite human! I have a large fenced yard with lots of room to run, but can also easily crate your dog if needed. I provide consistent attention, respect your pet's boundaries, use preferred food and treats, and communicate openly with you about any concerns or special needs your pet may have.
“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.”
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 took fantastic care of Sputnik! We received detailed updates after each visit and we came home to a happy and healthy bunny! We will definitely book with Kylel again in the future!”
“Allie did an incredible job of taking care of my cat Sasha. Sasha can be a little territorial when I’m away and Allie was very patient and thoughtful, taking extra steps to put Sasha at ease. She gave me helpful updates throughout my trip and it gave me great peace of mind. I look forward to using her again!”
“Hannah is the best! She provides the best updates, pictures and care. I can see in the pictures that my dog is happy, and I’m grateful that my dog can have such a caring person to check in on my dog while I need to be out of town.”

I couldn’t be happier with Emma as a pet sitter! She took exceptional care of my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Emma has been reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely loves animals. I’ve received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while away. My cat was relaxed and content when I returned, and it was obvious he had been treated like family. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!
This was my first usage of the Rover App and it won't be my last. Emma was friendly, professional, prompt, efficient, and effective. Don't let her rates mislead you into thinking you are getting less of a service. I highly recommend her and will utilize her services in the future. Great job and Thank you!
Julie was absolutely amazing! I was away for the weekend and she took such great care of my cat. She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She gave him plenty of attention and care, kept me updated, and went above and beyond during every visit. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about animals, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was gone. I would 100% trust Julie to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
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.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in San Carlos on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
