“As usual, I know I can count on Criss. She did an amazing job taking care of Nuvola in the last few weeks and keeping me posted at every visit. I really appreciated her work and I could not recommend her strongly enough.”
“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”
“India was the purrfect caregiver for our super shy felines. She got daily snapshots even in their most clever hiding spots. Though they may not show it, our babies are grateful for the care you provided!”
About: I’ve been a cat parent to my domestic shorthair and domestic longhair since they were kittens in 2022, so I have plenty of firsthand experience caring for cats through different stages of their lives. I’ve also frequently cared for my friend’s Ragdoll, so I’m comfortable getting to know different personalities, routines, and preferences. I’m also a big dog lover and will be welcoming a Miniature American Shepherd puppy of my own next spring! I’m so excited to meet and care for some of your pups in the meantime. Whether it’s keeping your cat company, dropping in for some playtime and cuddles, or taking your dog out for a walk, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. 🐾 I’m currently working from home most of the time, and it’s very easy for me to step away for 30 minutes to an hour, so I can go visit your fur friend and make sure they are doing alright. When I drop in, I will follow your pet’s routine exactly like you instruct me to. I will use my best judgement if an emergency comes up.
About: I share my home with three beloved cats—one is 5 years old, and two are 8. Caring for them has given me years of hands-on experience and a strong understanding of cats’ needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and playtime, and I know when to offer attention and when to give them space. While my feline family keeps me from having a dog of my own, I’m the person my friends turn to when they need someone to care for their dogs while they’re away. I’ve looked after a Labrador Retriever and a Shiba Inu, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’d love to make more furry friends and help your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I’m working from home with flexible schedules. It’s easy to adapt my routine to visits. I can make plans as long as the appointments could be made in advance. I’m open to visits to client’s home for caring for cats/any dog breeds. I have socialized cats at home, dog friendly. So I’m open to small/medium dogs day care at my home. For large dogs, meet & greet is necessary as I can only accept well trained large dogs considering my cats at home. Please note that there’s a swimming pool at my house. I’m open to let dogs play in the pool as long as the dog know how to swim. Otherwise, I will keep them away from the backyard for safety concerns.
About: Having loved and lost my own dogs, I know firsthand that pets are deeply valued family members who deserve the highest quality of care. For the last six years, I have been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my friends and family. Whether you are traveling for a few days or just need a reliable walker during a busy work week, I am here to ensure your pets maintain their routine and receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention. With a highly flexible part-time schedule, I dedicate my days fully to pet care and companionship. Your furry family member will never be left alone for long periods, as I have ample availability throughout the week for early morning turnouts, midday walks, and dedicated evening attention. Whether you need reliable daily dog walking to break up the workday or attentive overnight house sitting while you travel, my routine is designed to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule and provide them with plenty of love, exercise, and care. When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and familiar environment. I focus on safety first by enforcing strict leash rules during walks and thoroughly double-checking all door and window locks. To build trust, I completely respect your private space while keeping you connected with detailed check-in notes and regular updates. Finally, I preserve your pet's familiar sanctuary by keeping their routine and home setup exactly as you left it, ensuring a stress-free experience while you are away.
“This was our second time boarding our cat with Kecheng, and we had another great experience. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and videos, and our cat looked happy and comfortable throughout the stay. He was relaxed and content when we picked him up. We also had to extend the stay by one extra night, and Kecheng was incredibly kind to care for our cat for the additional day free of charge. We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness and would absolutely book with Kecheng again. Highly 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 :)”
About: I have been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. Because of this, I feel that I’ve built up 10 years of experience. But I have been offering professional pet care for 6 years, to friends and family. I’m happy to accommodate to any specialized care instructions! I do have a day job, so I would do check ins throughout the day, mainly in the afternoon. I do offer overnight stays but the same check in system will apply due to my schedule. I provide attentive visits that include feeding, fresh water, walks or cleaning, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on your pets personality. I’ll give them gentle care, attention, and companionship so they feel calm and loved.
About: I will give your babies all the love and care they deserve because they are the best babies! I love animals and am diligent about their unique cares and support. I grew up with dogs and have several years of pet sitting and dog walking experience. No matter if your pets are shy, little, old, energetic or grumpy I will make sure they are very well taken care of and feel loved and safe in your absence. I work close by my range so I can pop over to walk and check in on your pet. I am completely willing to tailor the experience to best suit your pets needs for walks, food, sleep and company. It is important to me to help your pet keep whatever their routine is so they don’t experience any stress or discomfort while you’re gone.
“Nina and Leo took care of our cats for 4 weeks while we were traveling and did a great job! They flagged and helped us fix any small issues that arose (e.g. running out of food). It was calming to know our cats were in such capable hands as we traveled!”
“I am very happy with my Rover experience and with Lina! My cat is pretty anxious and usually hides when strangers come over but she took to Lina right away. It made leaving town less stressful knowing she was in good hands. I am definitely going to book with Lina again!”
“Amber always communicates with us (she even sends messages the day before letting us know she’s still coming the next day!) and is very detail oriented! We appreciate her dedication to taking care of our fur baby”
About: Animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with a pet dog and currently own a cat, so I understand pets as family. Reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I currently work at home via online, meaning, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am doing this mostly because I love animals and I need to get out more. My cat is an indoor cat, she has a wide spacious window in my room where she can observe outside, I also take her outside where there is trees and grass on a harness 1-3 times a week to get some fresh air. She is very mellow and like to sun bath. I am open to outside and inside care!
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.
About: I love both cats and dogs. I'm a patient, nurturing, easygoing sitter who appreciates all breeds and temperaments. I've had animals since I was a child, from rabbits to cats and dogs. I had a terrier and a Lab in the past. Making sure your pet has fresh food and water is important to me. I especially enjoy talking with dogs and playing with them. I love the outdoors and taking them for much-needed walks. If your pet is higher energy and wants to run and fetch, I'll gladly do so. Above all, I want your pet to be safe, well-fed, and happy. Your dog will be in great hands with me! I currently have some availability and am flexible. I am willing to visit morning, daytime, and/ or night time. My routine will include your baby! I will follow instructions exactly as given to me, whether that includes crating dogs or administering medicines. If you prefer minimal updates, I will do so. If you prefer a lot of them, I will gladly do so. I love providing them, as well as pictures!
“Ashlyn took such good care of my cat. She visited twice a day, let my cat in/out, fed her, brought my mail in, and hung out with my cat each visit. Everything I requested!! Highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again. Thanks Ashlyn☺️”

“I have used this service for many years at this point, and Julie is simply the best. She truly care about the animals and is also very knowledgeable. On the second day she quickly noticed from one of the cats’ behavior that he was sick and took him to the hospital, where the doctor found a partial urethral obstruction, which could have had dire consequences if diagnosed late. I cannot imagine what would have happened if we didn’t luckily have her. We feel truly indebted to her!”

Another great experience with Linda! We were originally away for two weeks but ended up coming home early, and she was super sweet and accommodating about the change. Qiuqiu had some sensitivity in his toes this time, and Linda was so observant and thoughtful that she even picked up on those little details. Qiuqiu absolutely loves her, and we always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. So happy to have found her! ❤️
Yujie watched my cats while I was away for a week, and they couldn’t be in better hands!!! She was available to meet them beforehand and while I was away she sent me detailed updates and pictures from them. One of my cats needed daily insulin injections and she handled it really well. I definitely recommend her as a petsitter!!!
Linnea recently took care of my two cats and I was overall very happy with her service! She was very sweet from the get go and was good about communications before, during, and after the trip. She sent some cute pictures of the cats while I was gone and was respectful of our house while we were away. I would recommend Linnea for your pet sitting needs!
Chelsea is one of the best cat sitters we have ever had! Our cat, Raven, is typically very shy, but she absolutely LOVED Chelsea. Honestly, I think she might love her more than she loves us! 😂 Chelsea was incredibly communicative, asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, sent wonderful pictures every day, and spent so much quality time playing with and caring for Raven. She was also exceptionally attentive to Raven’s mood, eating, and drinking. One day when she thought Raven might not be feeling well, she even offered to come back that evening to check on her again. That level of care and thoughtfulness really sets her apart! We felt so comfortable knowing Raven was in such amazing hands and would book Chelsea again in a heartbeat. We cannot recommend her highly enough! ⭐️
Kenneth took wonderful care of Nono while I was away. This was a fairly last-minute booking, and I really appreciated how quickly he stepped in and handled everything so well. When I got back, Nono was active, happy, and clearly well cared for. I could tell her injections were administered properly, and although I wish I had left more detailed instructions, Kenneth managed everything exceptionally well. He also went above and beyond with the household care. Everything was even tidier than when I left. He cleaned the food cans, neatly prepared and pressed the cat food, and paid attention to details that even I don't always have the patience for. The photo updates were great and gave me a lot of peace of mind during my trip. I would absolutely book Kenneth again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.
Nina and Leo are awesome, caring cat sitters. My 3 cats are not used to being around other people. Nina and Leo went more than the extra yard to help them feel comfortable while I was away, especially with my most nervous cat with special feeding needs. They were able to calm her down, hold her, feed her, and were rewarded when she showered them with special purrs, slow eye blinks, and other kitty signs of affection. They also did a great job communicating with me during their visits and in between, as I sent them updates based on kitty cam activity. I am thrilled to have found them and look forward to having them back again. Thank you Nina and Leo
Criss always does such an amazing job caring for our kitties and our home. We can tell the kitties really enjoy her company and feel at ease knowing they are in good hands when we are away. She is a pleasure to communicate with and we highly recommend her to others looking for pet care.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in San Carlos is $37 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $49 per visit.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
