“Meaghan was great! My usually very shy cats loved her immediately. She's also super flexible and easy to communicate with. We needed her to drop by for an extra day last minute, and we really appreciate her time and care. She also sends really great pictures!”
“Samantha was so amazing this weekend! She had 3 drop-in visits to watch my 4 cats and all of them were happy and taken care of. One of my cats is very very nervous around new people but he was comfortable enough around Samantha that he came out and ate on the second visit. So grateful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years from pekingeses to Great Danes! I have experience taking care of seniors and puppies as young as 6 weeks old regarding dietary restrictions, toy restrictions and exercise limitations. I’ve also worked with hard of hearing and blind dogs as well! There’s not a dog I won’t love to be around! I work full time, so helping with your fur babies will be a fun thing to help anyone with! There’s not a better way to pass the time! I am available pretty much every weekend, so take your time with date nights! During the week, I do a hybrid full time role and have my calendar up to date with all availability. I believe a leash is the safest way to prevent any accidents from happening! Your dog/cat will never be put in any situation that makes myself or them nervous. I believe they should always feel comfortable and SAFE!
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
“Mairen was very kind and wonderful to our cats - she was timely and attentive and they were in great spirits when we returned from our trip. Looking forward to working with Mairen again!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 13. Ive taken care of them for friends,Neighbors and family. Sometimes 7dogs in one sitting and was relied upon to feed/ water and check up on them. I'm currently not working, so ill have plenty of time to spend with your animals. Im available Monday- Friday preferably 9:30am - 5pm. If im needed later than that it can be negotiated to help you and your pet. I have 2 kittens at home so I have plenty of energy to play with your animals. When I sat for others id play, feed and if requested walk their animals.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats and fish since I was a little. I got to pet sit for my friend once and I knew from then I loved animals even more. I finally got my own and I realized if I loved doing this so much, I should just do it as a job so the most important thing I can do for someone else’s animal is give them love, care and attention they need. I work a part-time job like two days a week so I have plenty of time to pet sit and hang out with cute cats and dogs!! I have two cats who are inside pets, I play with them all the time, and I have them on a schedule. It feels easier to have them in a routine.
About: Looking for a calm, dependable, and experienced sitter for your beloved pet? You've found her. I bring a blend of professionalism and genuine affection to every pet I care for. Whether it's daily walks, cozy cuddles, or administering medication, I handle all with a gentle touch and keen eye. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my absolute priority, ensuring you have peace of mind knowing they're in capable hands. I work in San Jose full-time in a 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday thru Friday job. My hours can be flexible when given advance notice. I also have my own transportation, and am willing to drive within a reasonable distance on the bay area. Extra open to offers that include mileage of over 20 miles from me. I do have a 9 year old old cat who mostly keeps to themselves, but is wary of aggressive animals. . As of now I do not board pets. Sorry.
“McKinsey is amazing with animals - you can tell she loves them. She treats my puppy and kitty as if they are her own. I trust her and am so grateful for her help. Thank you for all that you do! She exceeds all expectations. Highly recommend. Thanks girl!”
About: I work at a vet office, I get along very well with animals. I know how to tell what your pets behavior is and if they are feeling sick, nervous, overwhelmed, stressed or even showing signs of aggression. I know how to administer medication if needed. And I absolutely love meeting new animals! I could also clip your pets nails for an additional fee! (10$). Need ears cleaned? I can do that as well! I’m currently working full time at a animal hospital so I will be able to do this more so on the weekends and probably some Fridays, if the pet is close to my house/job I would be able to do 2/3 drop in visits depending on the location I will make sure the pet is well fed and administered medication if any, I will also make sure they are cleaned up after if any mess is made. Along with this I will monitor their behavior to make sure everything is going okay with them, and of course I will send update photos.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westlake
Thomas is the absolute best sitter on Rover! 🐾 We booked Thomas again for over a month. He visited our two senior cats, ages 19 and 20, daily on time and proactively communicated with us. He went way beyond his duties by checking our mailbox and rolling out the trash bin. He clearly loves animals, as you can see on his profile and by just how he interacts with our cats, who obsessed over him instantly! Even our senior kitty with CKD looked visibly perkier and happier under his care. His daily photo updates were top-tier (he truly knows their best angles)! Seeing how relaxed and comfortable our senior kitties were with Thomas gave us total peace of mind. It's such a big deal not having to constantly worry about our fur babies while on vacation. We highly recommend him if you want a reliable, communicative, and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐈🐈 Thank you Thomas!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Westlake is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 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.
