About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I’m incredibly passionate about! I have 20 years of experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, including small and large dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play or prefers to spend the day cuddled up on the couch, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve! I also have extensive experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, including oral pills, liquid medications, eye drops, ear drops, and injections. As a nursing student with a background in healthcare, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, and paying close attention to an animal’s health, behavior, and overall well being. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family members are in safe, loving, and reliable hands while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy all while giving you peace of mind! I’m currently a full-time nursing student, which gives me the flexibility to work pet care into my schedule around classes and clinicals! As a pet parent myself, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the love, attention, and responsibility that go into keeping our furry family members happy and healthy! I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether it’s stopping by for feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, or simply keeping your furry friend company. My availability varies throughout the week, but I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate schedules to make sure your pet receives the attention, love, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I will always make an effort to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that be specific feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or special care instructions. I’m experienced in caring for animals of different ages, sizes, personalities, and medical needs, including senior pets. When caring for pets in their own homes, I’m respectful of their environment and do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also believe communication is incredibly important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures for peace of mind! I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress free experience for both pets and their owners as I know that’s what I would want if someone where watching my pets! 🐾

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.

“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. 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: Animals have always been my passion, and with 17 years of hands-on experience, I’ve seen it all…from high-energy puppies to independent cats and senior pets who need extra love. My day job as a therapist means I don’t just care for your pet’s physical needs; I’m an expert at reading their unique personalities and managing their emotional well-being (and let's be honest, sometimes a little separation anxiety is real!). Whether your fur baby needs special diets, medication, or just an aggressive amount of belly rubs, I’ve got it covered. Expect plenty of photo and video updates while you're away so you never miss a beat! Pet care is currently my main focus as I navigate pursuing my career goals. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care and can structure my day according to look after the pets in my care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m open to collaboration in adjusting my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. Creating a safe and trusting environment for the pets I care for is my top priority. I start by taking the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Building trust begins with patience and gentle interactions, allowing the pet to approach me at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement and calming techniques to ensure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in my care. Communication with pet owners is also key—I make sure to keep you informed with regular updates, so you know how your pet is doing and can share any specific needs or changes. By combining attentive care, consistency, and open communication, I create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and confident in my presence.

About: Lover of animals of all sizes! But most often, you’ll find me happily flattened to the ground by my “house cow” (my 150 lb Newfoundland, Hugo). I’ve had pets and loved animals all my life. In my younger years (before I became middle-aged and appropriately dull), I worked as a firefighter/EMT. I’m calm in chaos, quick to notice when something seems off, and very good at handling emergencies without panicking or letting things spiral. At home, I’m also a mom to a very busy and enthusiastic toddler (who will be at home with her other parent while I visit with your pets). So, I’m used to loving creatures who don’t always listen but get lots of affection anyway 😂💛 When I’m not spending time with animals, I work as a manager in public policy on behalf of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I’m available to come care for your babies on evenings and some weekends. This is a fun way for me to spend time around animals (my favorite hobby) and make a buck or two to give right back to Chewy in exchange for more treats/toys for my own spoiled pets. It’s a vicious cycle, am I right? Trust is incredibly important to me - and I’m sure you feel the same, too! As a former first responder, I’ve spent a lot of time in people’s homes in situations where they relied on me to provide excellent care. The difference here is that, instead of taking great care of you, I’m giving that same level of care/attention to your furry pal. If you’re anything like me, you’re highly scrutinizing over who watches your babies when you can’t be there - rest assured, they’re in good hands with me. I’d love to meet you to see if I’d be a fit for caring for your dog, cat, bird, or critter!

About: Hi! I’m Jessamyn, and I’m a passionate animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to give pets the extra attention, playtime, cuddles, and care they need. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play, prefers relaxing and getting lots of cuddles, or is a little shy and needs time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible. I’m also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Your pets aren’t “just pets” — they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and cared for! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱💕 My rate for house sitting is a bit high because I have bad separation anxiety from my fiancé and kittens. But know I will take great care of your furbaby My schedule is very flexible, as I currently don’t have a full-time job, so I’m available most days and times to accommodate your pet’s needs. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy for me to travel to and from your home for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. ❤️ I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your pet can feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to their needs, routines, and personalities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while they’re with me! 🐾

I’m homeschooling my second grader and going to school myself. My schedule would be late afternoon or evenings for dog visits and dog walks. I’ll be in natomas in the afternoons and in Sacramento in the evenings. I have friendly pets/ small breeds with a yard fenced. I would like your pet to feel calm and comfortable here. Cots and toys and puzzles to keep them busy.

“Holly is awesome! I was nervous leaving my guys behind because one of them is due for surgery very soon so there has been recent eating changes. It was crucial to have someone help me out with having Greysito eat. Holly was on top of it all for each visit! She sent sweet pictures of my guys playing, getting pets and simply being cute. I’m grateful to have her help me with them with feeding them, scooping the litter box and simply showing them love! I don’t travel often but Holly will be me go-to Rover sitter from now on! Thanks Holly!”

About: I cared for my dog 0-15yr and currently have two 3 yr old dogs whom I love and play with every day. I'm very patient and stern if needed. I work a full time 8-5 job but I’m usually home by 530pm so I can do walks or anything after that. Weekends I’m free anytime! My dogs are leash trained leash. I’ll walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them to a park if there’s one close! Very cautious of other dogs and observant of their behaviors/cues.

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!

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 November 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 November 2026, there are 607 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 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.

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
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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 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.
