“Kimberly was a fantastic pet sitter! She helped me so much by being available last minute when someone canceled on me. She was very thoughtful, thorough, and listened to all my instructions perfectly, with consistent and clear communication. She understood and followed instructions about some complicated stuff in my home, and asked clarifying questions when needed!(Super helpful as I was a bit anxious and forgetful when trying to book an emergency sitter last minute.) She genuinely cares about the animals she is tending to, and takes care in servicing pet parents and easing their minds about being away from home. I would 100% recommend her service for your kitties.”
“Jingyi was absolutely wonderful with Blu! She paid close attention to his needs and made sure to reach out right away if she had any questions or concerns, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated the little updates she shared and how detail-oriented she is, it clearly showed how much she cared. We felt confident that Blu was in great hands the entire time!”
“Tinwa and JieYing were amazing and very attentive to my cat Suki. Very caring people and it showed because my cat is typically standoffish around people she doesn’t know. She came out for them and played, and of course enjoyed some treats.”
“Sydney was fantastic! She took such great care of my senior cat, provided great pictures, and had such great communication. I really can't recommend her enough and will definitely call her back :)”
“Yueyen is a wonderful cat sitter! She was diligent with caring for my cat while I was away and followed my directions. She also sent the most heart warming photos from her visits. I would happily book Yueyen again and would recommend her to others!”
About: I've been around Golden Retrievers and big dogs all my life, but I love working with all animals! Please take a minute to read the summary of my services below to see if I may be a good fit for your needs. Dog Walking and Check in Visits: I'm can provide walks or check in visits between 10am and 8pm. If you need a running buddy for your pup or someone that can accommodate special needs, I'm your girl! Please note, if you live outside of 5 mile radius, I may add a $3-5 gas fee to each visit. Daycare and Boarding: We have a small yard, a courtyard in front of our home where there's enough lawn space to play Chuckit (if you are comfortable and your dog has good recall), and a nice neighborhood for walks. I am happy to care for your dog while you are at work or traveling. A meet and greet is required for daycare and overnight stay. I will need to ensure my dog Loki gets along with yours (he is very friendly with people and dogs but necessary as a precaution). Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats in our home. Availability: My availability is 7 days a week. I am currently between jobs but typically work from home, so I am able to provide continuous care for your dog. I will ensure your pet is comfortable and attended to at all times. If your dog is staying in my home, I have ways to provide seperate spaces for dogs (yard, crate, upstairs/downstairs). I always provide photos of each visit!
“Daria was amazing with our cat! She spent a good amount of time getting to know her and playing with her. We came back to a happy kitty! I would highly recommend Daria to any cat parent looking for a responsible and caring sitter.”
“Natalia took great care of our cats. Even our more cautious and anxious cat, who normally hides from new people, warmed up to her in just a few days. We'd definitely book her again.”
“Charlette was so awesome with my dog Millicent! My dog can be a little stand-offish. Charlette managed to gain Millicent's trust and took such excellent care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again. 😊”
About: I have experience caring for cats while their owners are away, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playing, and providing companionship. I have also cared for cats with special care needs by following the owner’s instructions to give medication with food and closely monitoring their eating and well-being. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet receives the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates so you know your pet is safe and doing well. I respect every client’s home and carefully follow all care instructions to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, cleaning the litter box, administering medication with food according to the owner’s instructions, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind.
“As always Alisha was Milo's favorite! We always feel completely safe and anxious-free being away from our kitty. Her quick responses and consistent updates are very consistent and heart warming!”
“Lia did an incredible job taking care of my 2 cats. She was great at communicating and providing updates/pictures on how my cats were doing. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care during my short vacation.”
“My husband and I highly recommend Zen! She has been great with our two cats, who are young and playful but also have special diets and require extra care. She is diligent, communicative, and thoughtful. Plus she even won over our little scaredy-cat!! What a gem! Thanks Zen!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Leandro
Mei was absolutely fantastic! She created a document with all of the details we discussed about our cats' care which gave me such peace of mind. One of our cats has anxiety and urinary issues and Mei developed such a deep sense of trust with him- the photos she sent showed how happy and playful he was with her! Both of our boys quickly warmed up to her and she was so affectionate with them! She had the best communication and constantly kept us up to date on their habits and any issues she noticed. To top it off, she left us the sweetest polaroid pictures she took of them! I am so so so grateful and blessed that we found Mei! She is so wonderful.
Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.
I was very happy with the the care Charlie received. He's very shy but they managed to get a couple of pictures of him anyway. They also cleaned up a mess he made when he chewed through a shipping box that had cat food in it! In addition they also put out food and water each day for the stray cats in the yard. Great care and communication. I'll definitely use them again when I next need a sitter.
We hit the jackpot with Alisha as our stand-in cat parent when we are out of town!! Excellent communication, utmost professionalism and so thoughtful. Our cats were very well taken care of and Alisha went above and beyond to cover things like the mail and garbage day. We look forward to working with her continuously. Thank you so much Alisha!
Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.
My husband and I highly recommend Zen! She has been great with our two cats, who are young and playful but also have special diets and require extra care. She is diligent, communicative, and thoughtful. Plus she even won over our little scaredy-cat!! What a gem! Thanks Zen!
Lia was an excellent communicator throughout the petsitting process and made me feel very safe about leaving my beloved cat son in her care! She clearly loves animals and knows a lot about how to care for them—including those with special medical needs. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future and would highly recommend her care.

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 Leandro. On Rover:
- 90% 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 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.
