About: I am new to rover but not new to caring for animals. I have had all kinds of pets throughout of my life! Because of this, I consider myself to be attentive, patient, and empathetic. I know how it can be scary trusting a stranger with your pet but I can assure you, I'll treat them as my own. I am the type of person that points out every dog that walks by in awe! I have experience in basic training dogs & puppies. At the moment I have a Border Collie named Koffee that I co parent with my brother, this taught me how important communication is (this includes sending the cutest pics/vids of them). I also have experience with other animals, such as birds, hamsters, reptiles, bunnies, & fish! Hablo español y inglés! I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my life! I have a flexible schedule and I am available near by on most days. I treat all animals as if they were my own and I absolutely adore my pets so I know how important caring for someone else's pet. I also understand everyone has their own ways of parenting their pets so I respect everyones personal rules. I'd love to know about your pets particular needs or wants!
“Allison is an excellent pet and house sitter! She left my apartment in perfect condition (clean and tidy, even washed and changed bed sheets) and befriended my shy cats. I came home after a one-week vacation and the kitties were doing great! They certainly enjoyed Allison’s company and care :)”
About: I have volunteered at the Berkeley animal shelter. I take care of dogs by walking, playing with them and giving them treats. I have a dog of my own. I had 12 years of experience taking care of my dog. I have taken care of my mom’s friend’s dog at my house for a few days and overnight. I take care of cats by petting, playing with them, and giving them treats. I have a cat of my own. I have taken care of my friend’s cat for a few days.
About: I have cared for pets my entire life. My family had dogs and I owned a horse that I cared for and paid for since I was 13 until I left home for college. St that point I gave her to a person that would take care of her as I would. Since that time I have adopted cats as I lived in homes that did not allow dogs . I had to get my dog time in caring for friends and neighbors dogs whenever I could I’m currently working but have a flexible schedule. Caring for or playing with your pet will be my pleasure and your gift to me. I love all dogs and cats but will admit I miss having a dog of my own I can care for any cat in my home. I would prefer to sit for dogs in their own environment. I will care for your friends with just as much love and attention as you yourself would
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always taken care of a dog and/or cat. Friends, family and neighbors have often relied on me to walk their dog or pet sit. I'm also a teacher and am responsible and reliable. I'm currently a graduate student, so I have time on Wednesdays and weekends for pet sitting/walking. I currently have 2 goats and 2 cats at home, so I am comfortable with pet routines. I don't have space in my home to care for your pet, but I can do drop in visits and dog walks in your home/neighborhood.
“Josephine takes excellent care of our kitty, leaves everything as clean or cleaner than before, is extremely responsive and flexible. And she sends great pictures of the cat playing and having a good time!”
About: I absolutely love cats and am looking to spend my weekends caring for them! Since I work during the week, my weekends are completely free and dedicated to pet care. I have plenty of time on Saturdays and Sundays to drop in, feed, play, and cuddle with your furry friends. I'm so excited to meet your kitties and give them all the attention they need while you're away! As a dedicated cat mom to my own sweet cat, Lychee, I completely understand how important safety and trust are. I am naturally very detail-oriented and attentive to a cat's specific needs, moods, and routines. When visiting your home, I will always make sure doors and windows are strictly secured, the environment is totally safe, and your cats feel comfortable, respected, and deeply loved while you are gone.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five. My first dog was a Golden Retriever Border Collie Mix. We added a Miniature Schnauzer to the family when I was 10. They both lived to the age of 15. I live with my girlfriend in Point Richmond. I work from home in marketing. I never have to leave the house for work, so I'd like to dog sit. Selfishly, it'll help me get exercise and break up my routine at home. I wake up every day at 6 AM. I wake up at 6 AM and take an hour to myself before I start working. As a part of that routine, I can walk your dog to see some sunlight. In that timeframe, I also eat breakfast early, which can fit with an early feeding schedule. I work my first shift from 7-12, but I take a break every hour for 15 minutes. I usually stare at the wall and disassociate during that time, but I can give your dog TLC instead. I live five minutes from Keller Beach, which is a great place to spend time with a dog. I cook almost all of my meals, so integrating a feeding schedule is no problem. As a former athlete, I can run, jump, and play. Last but not least. I live in a VERY quiet and safe neighborhood (Point Richmond). My neighborhood is extremely pet-friendly.
About: Pet is part of my family. I grew up in a family with pets all the time and have extensive experience taking care of dogs and cats! I am currently working remotely and have enough time to take care of all the pets! My house has a big backyard for dogs to run and play and enough space inside the house for them. The house has fenced backyard and I am mainly working remotely, so I am able to pay attention to the pets most of the time!
“Victor took fantastic care of our cat Riley. He gave a special treat on Riley’s Birthday, which was so touching. Communication was excellent. We recommend Victor and will use him again”
“Hannah was fantastic, will definitely be booking her again. I had her drop by to feed my cats while we were away for a weekend— she was great at communicating and really took the time to sit and play with my cats!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and caring for animals has always been part of my life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I enjoy walking, playing, and giving pets the attention they need while carefully following your instructions. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently very flexible and available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can accommodate regular walks, last-minute bookings when possible, and recurring visits. I enjoy spending time with dogs and always make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner's instructions carefully regarding feeding, medication, routines, and exercise. During walks, I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed, avoiding unsafe situations, and paying close attention to their behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’m Jessica. Animals have always been a big part of my life from a young age. I have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever named Winnie, and I also regularly foster animals through the Oakland SPCA and the Milo Foundation. Being a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I care for every animal the way I would want my dog cared for. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Can’t wait to meet your best friend <3 I have plenty of time to stop by for a visit, or take your pup on a walk! I live and work in the area. I have a fenced in yard, very friendly puppy who loves to meet other dogs/cats. I prioritize your pets normal routine and want to make sure above all else they are comfortable.

Linda took amazing care of my sweet babies while I was on vacation. She made sure they had everything they need and predicted their needs too. She communicated very well so I always knew when I was getting low on supplies and could get some to her on time. She also went above and beyond to ensure my place was kept clean while I was away. I definitely recommend her!
We have had Phuong cat sit for our 2 kitties several times now, and are extremely happy. She is very dependable, communicative, caring, and so helpful in caring for our elderly cat that has some medical needs. Even our cat that is usually skittish comes out to play with Phuong. ❤️🐱
We’re so glad we found Patti! After using many different pet sitters over the years, I can genuinely say that Patti has been the most authentic and genuinely caring sitter we’ve found! She is someone you can truly trust and rely on. We were away for three weeks, and she took wonderful care of our lovely cat, Mellow through a combination of drop-in visits and house sitting. She was incredibly attentive, trustworthy, easy to work with, and most importantly, genuinely caring toward Mellow. We came home to a very happy, relaxed cat and a clean and organized home. Patti also thoughtfully kept an eye on the feral cats in our backyard and made sure their automatic feeder was refilled on time. Her rates are also reasonable, and she was incredibly accommodating with us. Since our stay was quite long and some dates fell under higher holiday rates, she kindly worked with us and adjusted the booking rates on her end, which we really appreciated. You can truly tell that Patti genuinely loves and cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was with her, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Olivia has watched our cats for many years when we are out of town, and, as always, she did a spectacular job this time around. She was very attentive to the cats and sent lots of great photos too! We lost our cat Lucy last year, so Olivia had a new little one to watch this time, Baby Judy. Judy loved hanging with Olivia during her visits and Ricky Bobby also remembered Olivia and was very comfortable with her. The cats seemed relaxed and well taken care of when we got home. We appreciate Olivia immensely!
Rachael was a tremendous and extremely knowledgeable petsittter for our two cats who were recently rescued. She spent time playing and engaging with them, in addition to the litany of clean up and feeding responsibilities. She sent photos of them as well as detailed observations during every visit which were extremely helpful. She also went the extra mile to remove toxic plants from our home, which we were not aware. We would highly recommend Rachael for petsitting. She loves her job and puts the animals first. A definite A+
I have rebooked Michael multiple times to take care of my cats, because I always know they are in great hands. Our first time booking, Michael suggested leaving out a bowl of water next to our electric fountain in case of power outage, which I had never considered, but showed me that he was truly thinking about the best care for my cats. Thanks for always taking the best care of my cats, Michael!
This was a long hall being separated from Edger for a month. Te' did a great job. So many litter box refreshes, many cans to open and serve and dental treats to dispense. All done expertly. I go home earlier than expected but no reason to adjust any payout. My place was as good as I found it and Edger actually met me at the door late in the night of my return. Thanks to Te' my month out of California ended peacefully and calmly.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in San Pablo is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
