About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life. I’ve been surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, small rodents, and farm animals all my life, all of which I’ve taken care of in different ways with the most love I can. I am always ready to for changes and for caring for each individual animal the way that works best for them. I have helped with animals of all ages and abilities and always give the most love and support I can to each one. I am a college student and have plenty of time in my day and week to take care of your furry friend. I am available in the early mornings and the afternoon to evening everyday. I can easily follow instructions based on the clients needs and the pets needs. I can feed, crate, take to the bathroom, walk, or bathe depending on what is wanted and only do what is wanted by my client.

“This is my 3rd time booking Criss to drop in on my cats and as usual she’s AMAZING! Can’t recommend her enough to others :) She’s so lovely with both of my cats and it’s evident they love her from the pics she shares with us. She plays with them, gives them treats and food.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
Felix is so helpful and detailed!! It was a last minute booking but Felix took care of this visit so well! They tooled a lot of photos and videos with very detailed observations and descriptions. Was so glad that we had Felix as our drop-in visits Rover!! Would definitely strongly RECOMMEND!! <3
Leonie was absolutely wonderful! She accepted my booking at the last minute, which was such a huge relief, and took amazing care of my cats while I was away. One of my cats has hyperthyroidism, so it meant a lot to know she was being well cared for and closely looked after. Leonie kept me updated with pictures , was reliable, and gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Leonie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much!
This was my second time booking with Jennifer. She clearly loves cats and has such a wonderful understanding with my shy cat Charlie. She's also just the nicest person and was a lifesaver for me this trip -- she went out of her way to be available on days she wasn't originally scheduled as available, including a last minute addition after her last scheduled visit, when my return flight was massively delayed.
Yiheng was absolutely wonderful! I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and everything was spotless. She took such great care of both my cats and my home. She sent lots of photos and detailed updates after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I always knew how my cats were doing, what they ate, how they behaved, and all the little details that showed she was really paying attention to them. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with Yiheng again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in San Carlos on Rover is $36.63 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 .

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.
