“AnnMarie alleviated any fears I had about leaving my cats while out of the country. She is prompt, communicative, and so caring for my cats (even my extra shy girls!) and home. She sent photos and check-ins which I looked forward to every day. I never worried once about my pets. I highly recommend AnnMarie and will be utilizing her service again in the future!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! My experience caring for pets goes all the way back to childhood, and over the years, I’ve developed a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every animal. I believe that building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for a pet. I always take the time to help animals feel comfortable, safe, and loved, whether they’re energetic and playful or a little shy and reserved. I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to have someone dependable looking after them while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of attention, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. As a pilot, I also have volunteer experience with flying shelter animals across the state to reach their new home where they find love and comfort. This experience has helped me learn the best way to keep animals calm through situations that could otherwise be stressful for them. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and making sure they receive the care and companionship they deserve! I currently work full-time in Livermore, with shifts typically running from either 6 AM–2 PM or 10 AM–6 PM. Fortunately, my schedule allows for some flexibility, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone! Depending on my work schedule, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as pet care on my days off. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate their needs while making sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home offers a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor playtime and exploration. We also have two small, friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new furry friends! I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take introductions slowly and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also respect each pet’s individual needs, whether they love socializing or prefer a quieter environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to follow their established routines and their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I believe that consistency, patience, and communication are essential to building trust. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands!

About: I lost my boxer last year to cancer and miss having a dog around. I decided to open my home to dog sitting and walking to fulfill my human need for a canine. I would love to snuggle and play with your dog. I have a big back yard, dog friendly for fetch, frisbee, hide and seek or other games. I will hike and run with your dog in the neighborhood or local parks. If your dog likes to swim, we can go to the creek or lake. I am available some weekdays and most weekends. Your dog will be the only pet, full on attention. I hope you choose me to meet your fur baby. I will provide loving care with fun and exercise.

About: Having grown up with both Labs and Shepherds, I am very comfortable being around all sorts of dogs. I started dog sitting while I was in high school and loved the opportunity to get to know other breeds. I am experienced in sitting for dogs of all sizes, dog walking, and giving medication. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so welcome any chance I get to care for others while their owners are away! I work Monday-Friday at a preschool, but have flexibility during my lunch hour if local to Livermore. During the week I am off by 4:30 or 5:30, depending on the day, and am completely open on weekends. While caring for your pets, I will always treat them as if they were my own. Every family has their own special routine, and I find that very important to follow to ensure each and every dog feels as comfortable as they can while their owners are away.

About: I have loved and lived with cats my entire life, at one point caring for four at the same time! Because of this, I believe I speak fluent cat. I’ve raised and cared for cats at every stage of life, from kittens to senior cats and sick ones, all with very different needs. I am also skilled at giving cats medication if they are receptive to it. Whether your kitty is super cuddly or spicy and needs their space, your babies are completely safe and understood with me. Beyond caring for your pets, I will be 100% respectful of your home. You can completely trust me to keep your space clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost care and respect! As a student on summer break, I have an incredibly open and flexible schedule! I am completely free to watch over your pets, drop in for multiple visits throughout the day, or stay overnight to keep them company. Whether your cats love interactive play, brushing, and cuddles, or prefer to just chill from a distance, I meet them where they are. I keep water bowls fresh, clean the litter box daily, and strictly stick to their feeding schedules; which I know is especially crucial for older cats. I'm also completely fine with handling barf cleanup. To give you complete peace of mind, I will stay fully communicative, updating you throughout my visits and sending plenty of daily photo/video updates of your sweet babies.

“Sarah took great care of our almost 7 month old GSP puppy Maple during a drop in visit. She has experience with high energy breeds and was totally professional and able to deal with Maple's excited jumping (we're working on it!). She asked all the questions you'd want someone to during the meet and greet, and sent an update and pictures of Maple during the drop in visit.”

“Kayla was for a week our in-home cat sitter and she was pure magic. She is the cat-sitter equivalent of Mary Poppins—truly beyond compare. As anxious pet parents of needy cats , we were looking for someone who could handle specific routines and provide constant, loving care. Kayla exceeded every expectation. • Exceptional Cat Care: She treated our cats like her very own, building a wonderful relationship with them and ensuring they were happy and stress-free. She followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, managing our cats' needs. • Above and Beyond: Kayla didn't just meet our expectations; she went above and beyond. Not only did she care for the cats, but she also took immaculate care of our home, leaving it as neat and tidy as when we left. • Peace of Mind: She was a pro at managing our pet-parent anxiety, providing timely updates and clearly demonstrating her dedication. We can't recommend Kayla enough. If you are looking for a trustworthy and absolutely amazing sitter who will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.

I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.”

We cannot recommend Meghan highly enough! She absolutely saved us when another sitter unexpectedly fell through the night before we were leaving the country for a two-week trip. With almost no notice, Meghan went out of her way to work us into her already busy schedule, helped us figure out the last-minute logistics, and immediately put our minds at ease. Throughout the entire trip, Meghan was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring with Boba and Coco. Being away from them for two weeks was already a little stressful for us, especially since this was our first long trip since adopting them, but knowing Meghan was looking after them made a huge difference. We always felt confident that they were in good hands. What impressed us most was not just that Meghan stepped up when we were in a bind, but that she remained dependable and attentive throughout the entire booking. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We are extremely grateful to Meghan and would absolutely book with her again. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, flexible, dependable, and genuinely caring with animals, we highly recommend her!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ulmar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ulmar is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $44 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,412 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ulmar. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ulmar. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
