“Hannah is such a kind and attentive sitter! She always included detailed messages about our kitty and wonderful pictures. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future stays!”
“This was our second time having Julie watch our cat Waffles while out of town. Julie was took great care of Waffles, was very communicative, and we came home to a happy kitty.”
“Veronika was absolutely amazing! My cats are very picky about who they like and they warmed up to her almost immediately. My cat Steve has particular things that need to be done when feeding and she navigated it wonderfully! I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“They showed several pictures of my cat to show they were there, and followed all my instructions to take care of my cat. They were very reliable and friendly to interact with as well.”
“Stefanie was amazing. We booked her last minute for a weekend away and she was so flexible, such a great communicator and sent lots of pictures! The boys looked truly happy while in her care. Highly recommend and we will be using her again!”
“Kelly has been really great with my 2 girl cats. She is very thoughtful and observant, and monitors how they eat and behave. She sends me photos and a summary for every visit, so I am kept up-to-date. I am relieved that they are in her care when I have to leave town.”
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
“Madi is very good with animals. My two little dogs bonded with her right away. She is a trustworthy and reliable person and I am very appreciative for her help with my fur children.”
“Shereese took great care of our girls and sent plenty of pics and updates. Great communication and the cats were happy to see her :) Thanks for helping us have a great trip by making it so we didn't have to worry about the home front!”
“took fantastic and attentive care of my cat on a very short-notice booking! superb communication and sent multiple pictures each day as well. respectful of the property and care instructions. 11/10 recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after for their best friend :)”
“Lisa has been great with our family cat while my home has been undergoing a remodel. She sends updates and photos he seems just as spoiled with her and he has been very comfortable with her. Lisa has been quick to respond and very accommodating with the changes in my schedule. Would highly recommend her for your fur babies!❤️”
“Summer was an amazing sitter to my cat. Not only did she make herself available on such short notice but she also made sure to know everything she needed to know to care for my cat. She followed all instructions carefully and was very attentive to my cat. My cat requires a bit more food preparation for the day and Summer went above and beyond to do so. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trusted and caring pet sitter.”
About: I am an animal lover with years of experience in pet care, both cats and dogs. I’ve worked in vet med and shelters. I know how to care for all shapes and sizes of pets! I’m currently working 6a-3pm at the humane society. I am free for evenings and overnights every day of the week! And all day availability on days off! Whether it’s a walk outside or indoor enrichment, I can provide both for your pets! I can help with medications and feeding schedules. Safety and comfort is my #1 priority with your pets!
About: I’m a diehard animal lover and proud parent to my own furbabies, Luella (dog) and Marley (cat). I’ve also had the opportunity to foster dogs and cats of all ages, so my love for furbabies runs deep! 🐾 I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, from playful and energetic to shy, snuggly, and everything in between. I believe in meeting each furbaby where they’re at, with plenty of love, patience, and respect. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills and injectables. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, treats, or just keeping your pets company, I’m all about making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Honestly, I’m here for the zoomies, cuddles, goofy personalities, and all the furry shenanigans. Your pets will be treated like my own! 🖤 I have a rather open and flexible schedule. Please let me know what your ideal itinerary looks like for your pet and we can work together to meet their needs. I want your furbaby to feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I aim to keep them comfortable and relaxed by sticking to their routines and spoiling them with all their favorite things (as approved by you)… cuddles, walks, play time, treats! I live in an apartment but have ample sidewalks and grassy areas for walks, to include a fenced Bark Park within my complex.
About: I previously worked as a “coach” at an open-play Doggy Day Care for ~10 months and then at a resort for ~1 month, along with at a Vet Hospital as a receptionist for ~2 months I can’t ever get enough of pups! I adore any animal- including reptiles- and was raised surrounded by many different kinds. I live with my family and our family dog, Liza, who loves me above anyone and relies on me for most things but also visit and dog-sit for my dad and our dog, Bindi. Alongside my experience with my previous jobs, I also have dogs of my down, both of which were crate trained and know other basic training. I can easily comply with whatever needs you may have and I understand that dogs can differ drastically even under the same roof! As long as I have instruction and a good pup, I can make sure they have a great experience while you aren’t home!
About: I have had the ability to have 2 small shelter rescue dogs, Neptune and Apollo. Neptune is no longer with us, but he and Apollo were both well trained and loved life. I have grown up around dogs and dog sat for several family members and friends in the past. I will make sure your dog is having fun and loving life when they are with me. I am currently a college student and have a very flexible schedual with most afternoon and evenings available along with the weekends. I do attend church for 2 hours on Sunday, but other than that I can be with your pet all weekend long. I check water bowls every hour and set alarms on my phone to make sure I never miss feeding time or medication. I play with your pets and take them on long walks when it is safe temperature wise to do so. Any medical concern will be run by the pet parent first unless a dire emergency arises, in which I will need preference(s) for vet(s) in the area listed ahead of time.
About: I am a very patient, compassionate animal lover with more than 25 years of personal pet ownership and sitting experience (both dogs & cats). I have 10 years of rescue engagement where I fostered 100+ animals that included care for sick, injured, scared, and skittish animals. I fed, walked, groomed, healed/trained the animals and provided medication as well as support for vet visits. I evaluated potential adopters and coordinated placements into the most ideal permanent homes. I also have experience (and a very big soft spot) for senior and disabled animals that need additional care and support. I am comfortable with providing required medication such as topicals, eye drops, oral chemo, CBD, etc., and any care that requires diapers, wheelchairs or other types of medical support. I recently moved to Arizona from Washington to be closer to aging parents. I do not currently work and my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to weekends and holidays, sitting at my place or at the clients home. I do occassionally travel but that will be noted on the Rover calendar as needed. The safety and security of the animal and the clients home is priority #1 for me. I have high situational awareness (at home or in public spaces) that is always focused on the well being of the pet. I currently have one Chiweenie that lives elsewhere, so pets staying at my house would have full run of the kitchen, living room and bedroom (with them never out of sight). There is access to a fully fenced yard from both the living room and the bedroom. They are welcome to sit on the couch if that is their preference. Also, sharing the bed here is totally fine. The typical home ambience is quiet and calm.
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and have been fostering dogs for over 5 years. I’ve helped more than 50 dogs find their forever homes, have two dogs of my own, and grew up with cats. I love caring for animals of all ages, from puppies to seniors! I’m an Arizona native in my 40s with two teenage kids and a big soft spot for animals. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. ❤️ I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I work 100% remotely, which means I have plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets throughout the day, giving them lots of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their own home by sticking to their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, or extra cuddles. I’ll follow your instructions and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands!
“Cassie is so sweet and amazing!! She checked on my kitties while I was out of town, she sent pictures and reassured me that they were doing just fine. I could tell she really cared about them and took time to give them pets and play with them. It definitely took my mind off of leaving them so I could enjoy my vacation. 100% will definitely be booking her again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
Allie was great with Lowell. I think he's gonna miss all the attention he was given while we were away. The daily report card was awesome to have/read and knowing he was being checked on was a nice comfort while being so far away. I think Lowell was disappointed to see me when we came home! 😝
Finding a new sitter was stressful but we’re glad we found Jessica! She’s great and attentive to our girls! She kept up with their daily routine of cleaning litter boxes, ensuring water was fresh, administering oral meds for Rucca, and giving snacks after meds to both. Thank you for being so sweet and caring to our girls!
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.
This is our second time hiring Lillian to take care of our girls. From the photos it looks like the girls are comfortable with her which is good. She administered meds, replaced water and cleaned litter boxes as requested. Our cats are prone to UTIs so it’s important for clean water and litter boxes. Thanks again, Lillian!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in San Carlos is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $42 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.

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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
