About: I have many years experience caring for dogs. With hands-on experience as a rescue worker and dog handler, I offer more than just dog sitting - I provide compassionate , knowledgeable care tailored to your pup's needs. Whether your dog is shy,energetic or needs extra patience , Ive worked with all kinds of temperaments and breeds. From daily walks and playtime to cuddles and calm companionship, your dog will be in safe, loving and capable hands. Retired, volunteering for a non-profit rescue organization, both onsite and from home. My schedule is very flexible. I can be available weekends and weekdays for sitting and boarding in my home. I live in a single-level home with a large fully fenced yard that includes a pool. During your dogs stay, I'll be there to supervise and ensure their safety and comfort.I have two friendly dogs-a small Terrier and a large Shepherd mix- who are respectful of other dogs.Dogs have full access to the house, and our neighborhood is very dog friendly , with a park next door for walks and playtime.

“endlessly thankful for cecilia!!!! our kitty is quite the wallflower but she had him purring and showing off his cuddly personality in no time. she went above and beyond to help rocket feel comfortable and took care of him as if he were her own. couldn’t recommend more 💛”
“Audrey helped us out a lot as first-time users of Rover. She followed our instructions to a T, gave medications to our senior cat, Sweetie, and made sure to give her lots of attention. We hope to use her services again in the future. Our neighbor is also considering using Rover, so we hope to recommend Audrey when the time comes.”
About: I have extensive experience babysitting for families with children of all ages, which has made me highly responsible, patient, attentive, and great at handling different personalities and routines. I also have reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license, making me flexible and dependable for walks, drop-ins, or last-minute needs. In addition, my experience working at Starbucks taught me how to stay calm under pressure, communicate professionally, multitask efficiently, and provide excellent care and service in fast-paced environments. I have a flexible and well-balanced schedule that allows me to consistently make time for pet care throughout the day. I’m usually up early, making mornings great for walks, feedings, or check-ins, and I have availability throughout the afternoon and evenings for longer visits, playtime, exercise, or overnight care. I’m very organized and used to balancing multiple responsibilities, so I’m dependable when it comes to maintaining routines and giving pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care by closely following each owner’s instructions, routines, and preferences. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or taking them on walks, I make sure they feel secure, well-supervised, and given plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and bathroom breaks. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and needs, keep environments clean and safe, and always communicate with owners through updates and photos so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Veronica was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure Ramses was taken care of and to make sure I knew he was doing ok. I got so many pictures and updates which was amazing. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!”
“Charlotte was so great with our puppy! She was responsive and flexible to help out with a next day visit request. She did outdoor play time with our puppy then got him settled for a nap.”
About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting, dog walking, and general animal care. I grew up around pets and animals my whole life, so I am very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I truly enjoy spending time with both my own pets and other people’s pets, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently home from college for the summer and am not working a job so I have plenty of time to work with your pets. I spend most of my time in nature, working out, or spending time with my own pets so taking care of your pets would be my main priority and responsibility. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I will follow your specific guidelines for things like backyard access, leash rules, off-leash activity, and whether your pet is allowed to interact with other animals. Just let me know your preferences and boundaries, and I will make sure to follow them carefully.
“Jackie care for our shy cat, Mick, over the Thanksgiving break. She did an exceptional job. Communication was frequently and clear and service provided went above and beyond! Will 100% work with Jackie again!”
“Meghan did a fantastic job with our pets - couldn’t be happier with her prompt amd professional communication and responsiveness. She watched our dog and cat and did walks everyday etc. thanks!”
“Layla did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She even cleaned up a flower vase that my cat knocked over. Everything looked really clean when I got back. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a baby. My family had taken in squirrels, ducks and chickens as well as having 2 cats and 1 dog. I am currently a student and I am planning on working to earn money for college. I am only taking in person classes and only work limited hours at a Pilates studio. I have a fenced yard, and a large bay trail only a few blocks away. I have 2 cats that do not bother and 2 very friendly dog.
“Devon was awesome! She took great care of our senior cat and helped make sure the house was taken care of during our trip. She was super responsive and went above and beyond. Highly recommend her for your furry friends.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, I’ve had two dogs! I’ve dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with young playful animals as well as older and quieter animals. I love playing and spending time with them! I work part-time, so have plenty of time to spend time with your pets. I love taking dogs on walks and I have flexibility so I can take them out to go to the bathroom as frequently as needed. I can stay overnights for as long as needed. I have a fenced yard and I’m happy to spend as much time as I can with your pets. I’m happy to play fetch with dogs and take them on long and short walks.
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. I’m allergic to cigarette smoke so that’s my only restriction. I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.
“This is the 4th time we’ve hired Jill, and she’s amazing. She always responds quickly, has been available last-minute for us more than once, and leaves really detailed notes on how the walk went. We totally trust her with our pup (who seems to be smiling in all the pics she sends).”
About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and love spending time with animals. I have worked at the humane society taking care of a variety of pets and find a lot of joy in doing so. Growing up, I regularly walked and cared for my own dog throughout San Francisco and later in Larkspur. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk their dogs, provide pet sitting, and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or a reliable sitter, I'll be able to do it! I am currently working a 9-5 during the week. I would be available to walk dogs earlier in the morning or after 6. I am available full time on weekends. I have a fenced yard and one dog who is very kind with other dogs. I love taking care of pets and will love to walk/play with them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Quentin
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
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Olivia is well-loved on here for a reason! She is warm, caring and responsible. You will have nothing to worry about even if you are the most anxious type of pet parent, as I am after trying so many sitters over the years and some of them have not been great. These days I have a very shy and skittish type of kitty, he wouldn't come out at all (even after several days) for the last sitter I tried. With Liv, it's a totally different story. He not only ate well (which was an issue the last time I tried to leave him), but also he came out for his dinner while she was there, and allowed pets!! She made an effort to show that she was reading the detailed instructions I left, communicated exactly how everything went with notes and photos, and just generally has a gentle, sweet energy that would put anyone at ease. She clearly takes pride in doing things well, and it shows that she loves animals. I feel lucky to have found her to care for my little guy!
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!

As of July 2026, there are 5,186 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across San Quentin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Quentin. On Rover:

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.
