About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets and have owned both cats and a dog as an adult, which was a Dalmatian—describe them as eternally young. :-) I'm an active individual whose current living situation doesn't allow pets so would love to help with yours! Those of you in the Larkspur/Greenbrae area may recognize me from walks on the local paths where I’m able to greet many dogs. While on vacation, I also seek out opportunities to contribute or volunteer for various animal causes, which you’ll see in some of my pictures. I'm retired so my schedule is generally flexible unless I'm out of town for personal reasons. Choosing a more limited radius at this point enables greater schedule flexibility, and to be close to local resources should a need arise. I will pet sit in your home so that your fur baby has all of their normal comforts and routines. I realize not all owners have a fenced yard for a dog so understand the importance of daily walks. I always welcome the opportunity to meet or chat about your needs in advance, so that you may advise of any behaviors for which I'll need to be more mindful. I care for fur babies of at least one year of age. NOTE: I only have experience providing meds to dogs, not cats. Due to allergies, I’m unable to sit in homes with cigarette smoke or with whole house carpeting (in bedrooms is fine). I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.
About: I have had cats since I was 2, they are amazing. I give my cat medication everyday. I may not have a dog but I wish I did. I love being with dogs and going on their “sniff walks”. I am currently in college right now as a second year. I have a fair amount of free time. I am free all weekend, when not at home. At my home I have a fully fenced backyard. At your house, I will follow the directions you give me to a tea, to give everyone peace of mind. 🙂
“My cat and I had such a great experience with Trisha! It makes such a difference knowing my girlie was safe a taken care of by someone so attentive to details and the cats well being beyond just meals/water. This was also a great first experience with rover and know I have someone I can trust! :)”
About: I am a very responsible dog owner who would love to take care of your pet! My dog (Milo) is a 8 year old Goldendoodle and loves playing with other dogs. I take my dog on daily walks and enjoy playing fetch with him. I work in Tiburon Tuesday through Thursday but have a flexible lunch that I can use for drop in visits. I have 2 separate places in my house that your dog would feel comfortable, either in a carpeted room or hardwood floors. My dog loves going back and forth between these two areas
“Gabby took great care of our kitties for a couple of days while we were out of town. She communicated with us well and see the care she puts into each session with them. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I started pet sitting by taking care of my friends’ cats and dogs whenever they travel. As a travel lover and a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can truly trust. I always want my own cats to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while I’m away, so I try to give my friends’ pets that same level of care and attention. I work mostly from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I can easily make time for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company throughout the day. Since I’m usually working on a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each pet’s usual routine and needs. I always try to make pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box or regular potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention and company. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’m happy to give them cuddles or simply give them space—whatever makes them feel most comfortable!
“Signe was a great cat & house sitter! We left for a long weekend and she stayed with our cat Mo. He warmed up to her quickly and she sent updates and photos while we were away. She was great at communicating and left our house clean and tidy. Would definitely have Signe back!”
About: I’ve cared for my family friends' dogs while they were away, which helped me understand the importance of building trust with both pets and owners. I am currently enrolled in school on weekends and trade school in evening. I and available during weekday mornings and afternoons to provide reliable dog sitting services. My cats are indoor-only, and my dog enjoys a large backyard for play. Due to my cats' territorial nature, it might be challenging to accommodate other animals in my home.
About: I have volunteered at Humane Societies with all kinds of pets because animals are my passion, and have had pets for almost 30 years. I currently have had a wonderful cat named Latte for 6 years and I couldn't live without her. I am available during the day to walk your dog or take it to play at a dog park, or check in on your cat and give it plenty of love, food, and attention. I make sure the pets I look after are cared for like my own, and their safety, comfort, and security are a top concern of mine.
About: I grew up with my Australian Shepherd, who was part of my family my entire life, and I helped care for her throughout her senior years. I now have my own cat, Emerald, and my family recently welcomed a terrier puppy named Edna. I also have experience caring for friends’ cats, as well as a neighbor’s and family friend’s Chihuahua and a family’s Golden Retriever. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including pets with different personalities and energy levels. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in providing the same loving care I would want for my own pets. I’ll be leaving my medical assistant position as I prepare to start PA school next year, so I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I’m able to spend quality time with pets rather than simply stopping by, and I’m happy to work around their individual routines and needs. I’m excited to use this time before PA school doing something I genuinely love! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands!
About: I have been a pet parent to a yellow lab named Sasha. During her lifetime, we went on many hikes, many swim adventures and had lots of snuggle time. I miss her dearly, so to help with that I was a volunteer at Guide Dogs for the Blind. I love both dogs and cats and have been asked by friends and family alike to care for their precious pets. I can provide one on one dog walks as well as potty breaks and cat visits. I've been doing this for 10 years plus. My daily schedule is flexible and I have the capability to fit my schedule around whatever your needs are. I am also happy to make any last-minute changes that a client may have. I make sure that I know each pets veterinary care phone number in case of an emergency. As well, I always make sure the areas that I plan to walk with dogs have a clear path and therefore hopefully free of ticks. When cat sitting or doing drop ins for cat owners I make sure that I have all veterinary and emergency contact info. as well.
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.
“Abbey was a great pet sitter and caring person. Everything went well and I didn’t have to have any worries while I was gone. My cat was happy when I came back and felt well taken care of.”
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 am a vet tech who has experience working in ER, who LOVES to run and spend time outside. I currently do not have my own dog and would love to pet sit, run, walk yours (or your cat ha!) I can also provide medical treatment/care for your pets if they need it! I work as an ER vet tech and would love to dog sit, take your pup out for walks/runs whenever needed. I run everyday and have always thought it would be a great idea to get on rover. I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible! With vet tech experience I know how to read body language, as provide a safe environment for pets.
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!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Quentin
Megan is great with my shy kitties. They've warmed up to her after only 2 bookings. She even found and cleaned up the places where one of the cats threw up. I didn't think to mention where the cleaning supplies were. She also suggested something to give cats help with hairballs. She clearly knows and cares about cats. For the reports, she always takes lots of photos and lets you know how your cats are doing. I feel confident my cats are well taken care of when Megan is cat sitting.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Parker was absolutely wonderful! He took such great care of our two cats, Ahsoka and Anakin, while we were away. He didn’t just make sure they were fed—he spent time playing with them, gave them their snacks, kept everything clean and cared for, and truly made us feel like our pet babies were in great hands. When we arrived home, we could tell immediately that Ahsoka and Anakin had been happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Our home was also left in wonderful condition, which we really appreciated. There is such a sense of relief that comes with being able to travel and know that the pets you love so much are safe, happy, and being genuinely cared for. Parker gave us exactly that peace of mind. We are so grateful to him and will absolutely book with Parker every time he is available. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Veronica was an amazing cat sitter for my boys! Her communication was excellent from start to finish—she kept us updated regularly and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly paid attention to our cat’s specific needs and preferences, which meant so much to us. She even went the extra mile to pick up some packages and deal with unexpectedly running out of their food. On top of that, she was kind and gentle with our cats and gave great daily updates. We would absolutely trust her to care for them again and highly recommend her services!
Delfina was amazing and I cannot wait to use her again! She was very communicative during and prior to her visits. She made sure to take great care of our dog, cat and even our hamster while we were away! So grateful I have someone reliable and loving to my animals I can count on while we are away!
Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her
Claire did a great job taking care of my cat (Kermit) while I went away for 10 days over the holidays. She showed up every morning to give him his wet food, clean his litter box, play with him and give him a few pets. Kermit was in good shape and spirits when I returned. Definitely recommend and would book with her again!

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.

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.
