About: Pet owner with 5 years of experience caring for a Ragdoll cat and 6 months of experience caring for a family member’s dog. Experienced with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing attentive, loving care. Reliable, responsible, and passionate about animal well-being. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and am available for pet care visits after work. I have weekends off and can provide flexible care during that time. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“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.”
“Tinwa was wonderful with our cat and dog! He was very attentive, super responsive to messages, and definitely treated our animals with a lot of care and love. I highly recommend you book with him!”
About: Hi there! I’m a total people person with a heart that easily extends to pups of all sizes! I’ve been working as an Autism Specialist since I was 19, so patience, intuition, and building strong, trusting connections are truly my superpowers. I like to say I have that special energy humans and dogs both adore! For the past 7 years, I’ve been dog sitting for families in and around my neighborhood, as well as my parents’ neighborhood, caring for their fur babies like they’re my own. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in a spacious 2bedroom apartment with a spare room that gives pups plenty of indoor space to play and relax. Our complex also has lots of grassy areas perfect for fresh air, potty breaks, and nice walks. Whether your dog loves a structured routine, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’m happy to meet their needs! I’m reliable, communicative, and naturally attentive. and I genuinely get excited to host and care for pups in my home. Your dog’s happiness and well being will always be my priority. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶✨ I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so your pup will have lots of supervision and attention on those days! I’m also available most weekends if you’re planning a little getaway and need reliable care! I care for every dog like they’re my own, keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, structured walks, potty breaks, and cozy rest time in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer quiet cuddles and relaxation.
“Highly recommend Tabatha, super punctual, kind, and definitely a pup magnet within 2 mins of seeing her w my dogs I knew right away we were in great hands. Would hire regularly!!!”
“I was in a bind because I had to go on a work trip. So this was my first time having Marlene take care of my doggies. I am always reluctant to have new people in my home, taking care of my babies. But, after meeting her both I and my little guys felt comfortable. I returned to find my little guys very happy and well taken care of. While I was gone, she sent pictures each day. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Marlene and will be calling on her again in the future.”
“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”
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.
“Alisha is absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our 16-year-old kitty girl. We lost her brother late last year and this was the first time Desie would be on her own during a trip. Alisha took patient effort to make sure she ate and sent plenty of pictures so we could see how our beloved little girl monster was doing. I really felt like I left my cat in the care of someone who loves her as much as I do. 100/10 will absolutely book again for a trip later this year.”
“Vanessa is a kind, warm hearted, caring, pet lover and she treated our Nameste with all the TLC that he need in our absence. She did all that we requested, including pictures of our little guy. I would recommend her to others and I would definitely use her again.”
About: I love playing with dogs! They are so fun to play with. Of course, I do make sure they are well fed and that they’ve gone on their walks. I like to make sure their feeding area is clean so that they don’t pick any germs or parasites and get sick. If they have medication to take, I will happily give it to them without any fear of them potentially biting me or being a bit aggressive. I am free at various times. I do attend university, so I may be unavailable at certain times. However, I am happy to work with you and your pet at whatever time is best. I like to ask questions regarding their pets routine, conditions, etc. It helps me get to know more about the owner as well as their companion. I will always make sure their pet feels safe and that they can trust me. I like to greet myself with pets by holding my hand out for them to smell so that I can pet them with their permission.
About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!
About: I have dogsat for different family members and even my significant other’s on multiple occasions since I was 11. I’m very observant when it comes to body language and behavior. I take pride in over-caring than under-caring. Your dog’s enjoyment is my top priority! I’m currently looking for a part-time job, so at this very moment I have plenty of free-time to get to know you and your doggos. I can bathe, brush, walk, etc. when instructed by you to do so. My daily routine can be flexible but will eventually changed due to career managing. I’m happy to communicate and accommodate! I have a small Honda Fit Hatchback car for transportation that can be used to go to the park. I will also supply water, wet wipes (dog friendly), and a small ball or two for playing! If the doggo wants a joyride, I can provide!

“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. 😊”

Mei was a wonderful sitter. She sent so many pictures of our cat and took great care of our house. Communication was smooth and she was very kind when I missed a text about my garage door. Lotso can be very spicy but Mei did her best to check in on her and give her treats. I would definitely book Mei again in a heart beat.
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.
Tinwan and JieYing took thoughtful, amazing care of my cat. They were very conscientious and followed my instructions exactly. PLUS they sent beautiful photos. This was the first time I've used a sitter and it was so reassuring to know my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend these two - and have told my family and friends (all cat owners) how successfully this went.
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.
This was my first time using Rover and booking a pet care service, and Jocelyn made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was very responsive, asked thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, and always kept me updated during her visits. My dog, Skye, can be reactive and takes time to warm up to new people, but Jocelyn was incredibly patient and understanding. She never pushed Skye beyond her comfort level and let her build trust at her own pace. By the third day, I could already see Skye becoming more comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. It was clear that Jocelyn genuinely cared about Skye’s well-being and treated her with kindness, patience, and respect. I am so grateful for the care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Jocelyn, for taking such great care of my girl!
We hired Daria to do drop-in service for our two rescue seniors. She has very calm and confident energy and quickly charmed our salty Chihuahua mix. We really appreciated her prompt communication and thoughtful questions/comments. We will definitely book Daria again for pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in San Leandro on Rover is $26.75 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 13,549 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Leandro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a San Leandro stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
