About: I have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, so I have experience working with and caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have also taken a couple dog handling classes through the shelter. I have owned dogs all my life and have trained a few of them as youngsters in basic commands (sit, stay, come, down, etc). I am also a horse girl and thus have pretty impressive upper arm strength for my size, so I can handle your large dog that pulls on walks. I am transitioning from a part time job to full time pet care with Rover so I have full flexibility and am able to zip over and give your pet some TLC whenever I'm needed. I have a dog of my own so I also understand and can provide what a pet needs in a typical day. In my house, pets are treated like family. From the moment I enter your home or meet your pet, it becomes part of my family too and I will care for it as such. I believe compassion, patience, and a good sense of humor are essential to good pet care regardless of whether you're inside or outside the home. An environment of fun, love, and trust will be created when I care for your pet and I'm sure a great bond will form whether I meet that pet one time or 30 times.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 12 years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Growing up, my family had Pekingese and Pitbulls, and I loved walking and caring for them. I recently cared for a Yorkie puppy who was learning to potty train and needed consistent practice with basic commands and tricks. I currently have two cats of my own, and friends, relatives, and neighbors have often trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped my aunt care for a pregnant cat and her foster kittens, including feeding, cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also read extensively about why cats may be nervous or afraid of strangers and how to approach different cat personalities in a calm and respectful way. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. ❤️ I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays after work, as well as weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and treat every home with care and respect. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has everything they need. I’m also happy to take extra time to help shy or nervous pets feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to also take extra time to play with your pet if they feel comfortable to.

About: I am a long-time animal lover, animal advocate, and animal welfare professional. I've had animals all my life, have volunteered for numerous animal groups, and have worked for a national animal welfare organization for the past 20 years. I have fostered neonatal kittens and have had several special-needs cats in my lifetime. I know how to administer sub Q fluids, give insulin injections, trim nails, and more. While I am a cat owner, I love dogs equally and will give your dog the love and care he/she'd receive in your own home. I’d love the opportunity to give you peace of mind that your pet is well cared for while you’re out of town. Thank you for considering me! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate most pet care needs. I am the mom to a teenage son, so I have lots of time on my hands and I’d love to spend my time giving your pet the love and care they deserve. I know a lot of people have specific instructions on how to care for their pet while they’re away, I adhere to all requests and rules, and make sure there’s lots of time for play and snuggles too.

About: Not only have I grown up with large dogs for the past 23 years, but I have also consistently pet sat for families in need of a loving and reliable sitter. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see, so caring for furry friends is something that comes naturally to me! I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Although I do not train animals, I do have experience in providing oral medication as well as walks, feeding, and love! I’m currently in a transition period and taking a gap year, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting! While my schedule varies, I have a very open and adaptable availability and can often accommodate different scheduling needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for according to your instructions. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own!

About: Our three rescues recently traveled to the rainbow bridge after 13 years in our home. We are not ready to fill our home permanently, but are emotionally available to love on your babies while you’re gone. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have many years of pet sitting and house sitting including dogs, cats, fish, and bunnies. I know firsthand how expensive pet boarding is, not to mention stressful, so I am here to make traveling and being away easier. I work very part time and stay home with my kids, so I am available regularly and have an extremely flexible schedule for accommodating needs. We have a one story home with a large fenced in yard for safe exploring and sun bathing. Our home is currently pet free, so your pets would have full control of the place!

“Sarah was a fantastic sitter for my kitten. He loved her so much, he gave her cuddles. She was very responsible and gave me updates and pictures every day. She even went out of her way to accommodate my kitten when he had difficulties transitioning to a new type of litter and food when I was gone (due to supply shortages). I was very lucky she took care of my cat last minute, due to an emergency situation in which the original person who was going to watch my cat ended up in the hospital. I am thankful for her service!”

About: ✨ Insured 🐶 Small & Medium Boutique Dogs + Rescue Pups 📍 Catering to small-medium sized Boutique Dogs and Rescues of East Sac, Tahoe Park, Elmhurst & Midtown 🍼 Puppies Welcome 🐈 Kitties too! (Up to 4 at a time!) 🐾 30+ Years of Experience ⭐ 5-Star Treatment 📋 References available 🐾 Puppies!! Kitties!! Doggies!!—Oh My! Since I was a kid I’ve always had a furry best friend by my side. I’ve been pet and house sitting since I was 12 years old. My specialty is small- to medium-sized boutique dogs and rescue pups, providing personalized care to the furry residents of East Sacramento, Tahoe Park, Elmhurst, and Midtown. As a resident of these areas myself, I know the neighborhoods, streets, parks, and walking areas well, so your pets will be cared for by someone who is truly local and familiar with the territory. I provide individualized care based on your pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I’m especially patient with shy, timid, or cautious rescue pups and love earning their trust at their own pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, cozy couch snuggles, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to be their stand-in best friend while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean, tidy, and secure, respect your belongings and privacy, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner. .My specialties include expert belly rubs, enthusiastic walks, championship treat-giving (with permission!), and a Ph.D. in sweet animal baby talk. 🐶🐱💕 And kitties are welcome, too! I’m happy to provide meals, playtime, litter care, affection, and companionship—while fully understanding that cats generally prefer to be the ones in charge. 😸 Personalized care, happy pets & peace of mind—because your boutique babies and rescues deserve 5-star treatment! I’m currently finishing my degree in Social Work at American River College. I do have to go to campus (15 mins away) 4 days a week-Mon-Thursday from 10am-1pm. I prefer to work from anywhere with a reliable Wi-Fi connection, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets while staying on top of my coursework. At the moment, I have a very open and flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I also have reliable transportation, so whether your pets need walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or house sitting, I’m dependable and happy to help! Every pet is different, and I think that’s what makes this so much fun! I always like to meet in person or on zoom beforehand getting to know you and you getting to know me and of course learning about your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and favorite spots to be scratched before I even start. ***My goal is to make your time away feel as normal and stress-free for them as possible.*** Whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, going on long walks, playing fetch until we’re both tired, giving medications, or simply curling up on the couch for a cuddle session, I’m all in. I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates because I know how much it means to see your fur baby happy while you’re away. As for your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep it clean, secure, and cared for, bring in the mail, water plants if needed, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner! My job is to make sure you come home to a happy pet, a well-cared-for home, and absolutely nothing to worry about. That’s the kind of peace of mind I’d want if someone were caring for my own furry family members.

About: I have regularly lived with and cared for both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I am a kind but firm caregiver and prioritize tailoring my care to the unique needs of you, your household, and your pets. Details matter! Rely on me to be attentive to the little things. I also understand the importance of trust and clear communication around your pets’ needs, and providing regular updates as needed. I love getting to know the silly little quirks and play habits of pets too! I hope you will allow me the joy of getting to know your pet(s). Lastly, I draw pet portraits - let me know if you would like more information! Im currently an on-call botanist. I am reliably available most weekends and some weekdays, and regularly update my schedule with my availability. I feed my own cat twice a day, but i have housemates who can attend to his needs if you require ongoing pet supervision throughout the day. I follow my clients’ lead when it comes to caring for pets at their homes and understanding their preferences for potty care, food schedules, playtime, medication, and other specific needs. I tend to take notes any time I have a question or observe something unusual, and prefer to communicate directly. I am flexible and always open to feedback. I do not take clients’ pets home with me.

One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”

About: I have had dogs (and cats) my entire life. Trained, love and traveled across the US with my animals in tow with me. We currently have two dogs, Ozzy & Bear. I am retired and love to garden, travel and play with our dogs! We moved back to the Sacramento Area recently and would like to do something fun and thought pet sitting would fit perfect. No pet sitting at our house. Animals need to be in their own environment where it is safe and they are comfortable with their own toys & bed.

We were so grateful to have Cyndi’s support while we were away. Our cats took to her right away and she provided updates and pictures which really put us at ease. Our girls can be a little tricky, but Cyndi handled it like a pro and we would recommend her to anyone who needs pet care.

Christy is a fantastic sitter! She watched our two cats while we were on vacation. Christy is dependable, responsive, and trustworthy. She communicated with us each day sending lots of pictures and provided a thorough report card. She took great care of our house too. But most importantly you can tell how much she loves animals, and she took excellent care of our cats. She not only did the basics but really took time to give them love and attention. We highly recommend Christy!

Audrey did an amazing job watching our cat for almost three weeks. When the cat got sick, she communicated with me very well. She ended up taking her to the vet for me and we did a voice call with her, the vet and myself. In the following days she kept me well informed and I appreciated her opinion as to how things were going. Will continue to use Audrey for my cat sitting as I trust her totally.

Stephanie was such a great sitter for our cat, Jojo. We were out of town for almost two weeks, and Stephanie made us feel at ease when she checked in daily with Jojo. Our cat is not the most social or easy cat to deal and Stephanie handled it like a pro. Stephanie was quick to respond and went the extra mile on many occasions. We highly recommend her for watching your pets.

As always, Beth was great. After 3 years, she managed to not only see, but cuddle our notoriously shy cat that no other sitter has caught more than a glimpse of as she runs down the hall and hides. Our other cat also graced her with lap-sitting and demands for pets, so yeah... both kitties are happy with Beth, and that's what's important.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Arden-Arcade

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Arden-Arcade is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $37 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 1,960 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arden-Arcade. 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 Arden-Arcade. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
