“Nina and Leo is very kind and careful. They followed instructions and adapted to different situations - when we're away, there was an unexpected ant situation and unexpected outage. Leo and Nina went extra miles to help us keep our cats safe and comfortable, also kept our house everything in order. Very helpful and communicative!!”
“Maila did a great job dropping in on our cat, Felix, while we were away for a few days. She even let him play outside for a bit, which I’m sure he loved since he’s an indoor-outdoor cat and doesn’t get to go outside as much when we are traveling.”
“Rachel was a great cat-sitter! She watched Lily while we were on vacation, and eventually got our scary-cat to come out of her shell. Rachel took very good care of our cat, and even took care of the houseplants. I will definitely hire her the next time we go on a trip!”
“Criss take such good care of our cat blue! She gives very detailed summaries and photos and I know that my cat is well taken care of with her. She is our number one choice for blue when we are out of town!”
“Highly recommend Jas! Every visit has been so easy and the updates we get are super informative. We had an issue where our cat had a hairball (typical!) and Jas let us know promptly and gave us feeding updates as the cat recovered. Great professionalism and feedback!”
“Loren was great with our two kitties! Easy to communicate with and sent us great pictures/updates each visit. Would highly recommend Loren and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Alfie was in great hands again! This was Heleen's second time doing daily check-ins for him and it gave me such peace of mind while I was away for a week. She is always reliable, communicative and clearly cares about animals and making sure they're comfortable, fed and loved on. I really appreciated the updates and knowing someone trustworthy was checking in on our little needy guy. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable cat sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with some extra time on my hands, and I’d love to spend it caring for your furry family members. I grew up with cats and have had them my whole life. I lost my own cat about a year ago and miss having that companionship, so I would be honored to give your cat the same love and attention I always gave mine. While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I grew up around friends’/extended family's dogs and lived with an adorable pup during college. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals! I just graduated from college, so I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it caring for, playing with, and keeping your furry friends happy! Every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I’m ready to follow your instructions to a T to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Additionally, I will send updates with photos to keep you in the loop!
“Susanne did a great job taking care of my two cats. She was very communicative and made sure everything was ok okay after a big storm. It turns out a door had flown open and she went the extra mile to make sure everything was ok and my cats were safe.”
“Emmy went above and beyond to take care of our adult cat and our two foster kittens. She was extremely communicative, and took time to send detailed updates of all three cats and pictures of them playing. She kindly helped clean up after our two foster kittens when they had accidents in the first couple of days, and also looked after them after they got spayed and neutered. We came home to three very happy cats, so we can't recommend Emmy enough and will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
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.
“Julia was wonderful! She dropped in to care for my 2 cats for three days. Her Rover cards were awesome with tons of pics and great feedback about her visit. Would definitely recommend!”
“I was super anxious about leaving my kitties alone for the first time, especially as one just got an ear infection and needed medication, but Zolfar was amazing! Super responsive, really looked out for their wellbeing, and even administered the medicine exactly as needed. Came back home to two perfectly healthy kittens :)”
“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”
“Jonah took wonderful care of our cat, Nali, while we were gone for a month. They were caring, communicative, and responsible. We will definitely reach out to them the next time we are out of town!”
“Angelica took such great care of our dog while we were away. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and gave us real peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to our dog’s needs.”

Highly recommend Jas! Every visit has been so easy and the updates we get are super informative. We had an issue where our cat had a hairball (typical!) and Jas let us know promptly and gave us feeding updates as the cat recovered. Great professionalism and feedback!
Chriss was amazing with our two cats! They loved her and she did so well playing with them. Her Rover report cards were super detailed and she sent absolutely adorable photos of the cats. We were so happy knowing they were in good hands and will definitely book her again and recommend anyone else book her as well!
Linda took wonderful care of Qiuqiu again! She is patient, attentive, and caring, and sent us lots of photos and videos every day. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. So grateful to have someone we trust while we’re away. Highly recommend and we will reach out to her again in the future.❤️
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!

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 .
As of August 2026, there are 6,504 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.
