About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕

About: I have had dogs ever since I could remember. I can bathe, walk, run, feed, and relax with your pets! I have taken care of pets for family, neighbors and even customers at my work rely on me for feeding and relaxing with their dogs! I am familiar with taking care of young puppies and older senior pups! I am very willing to learn routines and understand your pet(s)! I’m currently working part-time and full-time school. Don’t worry! I still have tons of time to care and play with your pups and kitties! On Mondays and Wednesdays I can meet with your pet anytime after 12:30pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays (occasionally Sundays; please contact me if needed) I can provide care after 3pm. Saturdays and Sundays I can provide services early mornings, nothing past 10:30am. If needed house-sitting/overnight sitting, please contact me and I can help figure out a time that works for both parties! In other clients homes, I provide a calm environment until the pet opens up to me and engages for play, food, or relaxation. I am familiar with strict feeding routines and strict times for potty or outside play and walks. I am willing to learn more and understand what each pet needs.

About: Hi, I'm Anna! I am a passionate, highly trained animal lover dedicated to giving your pet the safest and most fun experience possible. Since March, I have been an active volunteer with the Sacramento SPCA, where I have completed intensive online courses and hands-on, in-person training in canine behavior, body language, and socialization. I am fully certified to handle and walk the shelter's Green and Orange color-coded dogs. Because of my training and reliability, the SPCA also trusts me with their Foster Furlough program for their highest-need Pink color-coded dogs. This means I regularly take these advanced-level dogs out of the shelter environment for day trips and overnight stays in my home to give them a break. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, structured socialization, or just an attentive and loving overnight companion, I know exactly how to read their body language and keep them safe in real-world situations. I have a very flexible part-time schedule, my own reliable vehicle for check-ins, and a deep commitment to following your exact house rules and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I don’t work so I’m home pretty much all time unless I’m running errands. I’m available Tuesday-sat to come and help out with your babies!! I have a fenced yard but always prefer to watch them while there going potty or playing! I’d also be able to crate them if needed:)

About: I have all terriers and the oldest is 17 years old and his still kicking. I have groomed him also for half his life. I never really found anyone I liked. I hope to help others. 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.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over neighbors’ and others’ animals, including dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, and cats. I’ve also had cats of my own since I was 8—five in total—and currently care for two on my own. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my ability to connect with animals, especially those that take time to warm up to new people. I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s recognizing subtle body language, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I have worked as a nanny for young children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months). This experience has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to balance multiple responsibilities at once—skills that also translate into pet care. I’m experienced in maintaining structured routines, ensuring safety, and providing comfort, which makes me well-equipped to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering not just basic care but also companionship and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at ease while you’re away! I will have to go home to feed and spend some time with my two kitties, Pumpkin & Hazelnut, but I also always find time to spend time with your pets as well. As of now I am looking for employment so my schedule is pretty open I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment. Every pet is different, so I follow your specific routines, guidelines, and house rules to keep things as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, or medication needs, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort while respecting your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take extra care to follow any instructions you provide, from home security measures to special pet needs. I also keep you updated with messages, photos, or check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.

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.

Im unemployed so I have endless time to play and care for your pet! I’d love to spend it doing something helpful and worthwhile for someone. I’ll cuddle and play with them consistently and provide bathroom breaks as is needed. Feeding them will be on time and water will be filled.

She followed instructions to a tee and our dogs immediately got along well. Will definitely reach out again for future pet services!”

About: I'm a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate and aspiring veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical histories. My background spans several areas of veterinary medicine—I've had hands-on clinical experience in oncology, emergency medicine, and surgery at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, alongside extensive involvement in community veterinary clinics, student-run programs, and animal shelters. Years of working directly with animals across a variety of settings have given me invaluable firsthand insight into their behavior and body language, including how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and adjust my approach to each animal's comfort level. Beyond the scrubs and textbooks, I'm simply someone who loves meeting new pets, learning their personalities, and finding ways make their days a little brighter until their favorite person returns. If I'm not working with animals, there's a good chance I'm looking for them elsewhere—usually birdwatching, hiking, or wandering around the Sacramento Zoo with a pair of binoculars! My current schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week and on weekends. I know that life doesn't always go according to plan, so I'm also happy to help with last-minute bookings, unexpected schedule changes, or urgent pet-care needs whenever possible. Whether you need a regular helping hand or someone to step in on short notice, I'd love to help! My veterinary and animal-handling experience has taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and recognizing even subtle changes in an animal's behavior or comfort level. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines, following instructions carefully, and minimizing unnecessary stress, and entering every home with respect and care. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate individualized exercise and enrichment needs, from leisurely walks to more active outings with prior approval. I take safety seriously and will always consider each pet's health, temperament, and physical abilities before planning activities. I'll also keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care.

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: I have taken care of a plethora of different animals for my family members, neighbors and friends. I have watched dogs for hours or weeks at a time. I am especially good with active animals that need attention. I am currently working part- time at a coffee shop so my morning start bright and early at 4am. I am normally home by 12 at the latest and am able to come home on my lunch break to take your pets out. After 12, I am completely free to take your pets on walks or just snuggle up to them on the couch. I am very comfortable around animals and can adapt to what they need. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a beautiful neighborhood that is more than friendly for walks. I also love to play with animals and give them attention, but know that they need their personal time as well. Whatever your animals needs, I can do!

About: I am very attentive to each pets individual needs, I treat them with the same care I do my own. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible in their owners absence. I love dogs + cats & the joy, peace and emotional security they provide. Up until the Covid shutdown I co-parented a 3 year old Chorkie, 2 year old Pit/Lab Mix and a 4 year old Cat who were my entire world!...I am now furmom to a 2yr old Tabby named Smokie Loaf lol. I have cared for pets both personally and as a job on and off for roughly 15years now not including caring for my own pets. They say if you do something you love it'll never feel like work and that's what being around animals is for me; Something I love to do... I am available for day visits and overnight stays as well as extended vacation sitting in your home with considerable notice.. Please note: I am disabled and walk with a cane, therefore I unfortunately cannot climb stairs exceeding 5-6 steps. I currently work fulltime Monday-Friday remote with some flexibility but my late evenings and saturdays are wide open for cuddles and playtime with your furry family. Lets see how we can work together! Please note: I am disabled and walk with a cane, therefore I unfortunately cannot climb stairs exceeding 5-6 steps. When caring for pets in your home, I will adhere to any and all safety protocols you have in place, I can easily crate your pet if required and provide support on a case by case basis. Please note: I am disabled and walk with a cane, therefore I unfortunately cannot climb stairs exceeding 5-6 steps.

About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I pay close attention to the needs of your pets. I grew up with dogs and cats and learned how to care for them from a very young age. I've seen pets at all ages and stages and observe them closely for any abnormal or concerning behavior. Under my care, your babies are my babies, and they receive only the best quality of care! I'm available 6 days a week: Sunday through Thursday from 8am to 9pm and on Fridays from 8am to 6pm. Just let me know when your baby needs attention and I'll be there! I feed your pets at their scheduled meal times if they have it, take them on walks or runs, and give them a simple groom with a comb/brush and clean their ears if requested. I can play with them and have them do commands and tricks if they know them. Happy pets make me happy too! I will also happily provide references that you can call upon request.

Jourdan was absolutely amazing! Both of our senior dogs, Winston and Oliver, are declining in health, and one of them became quite sick just before we left for vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure our sick dog ate something, taking the extra time, patience, and care he needed instead of simply rushing through the visit. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being. She also followed all of our care instructions carefully and kept us updated with detailed messages and photos after each visit, which meant so much to us. Caring for aging dogs with health issues isn't always easy, but it never seemed to be a problem for Jourdan. She treated Winston and Oliver with kindness, compassion, and so much love. We came home to two happy dogs and knew they had been in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Jourdan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond. We will absolutely trust her with Winston and Oliver again.

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Carmichael

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carmichael is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 1,969 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carmichael. 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 Carmichael. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
