“Diana is the best! Our Jack Russel Halo loved her. We really appreciate the love she gave Halo over the weekend. Would highly recommend her and will ask her to dog sit Halo again.”
“Sarah demonstrates exceptional professionalism in pet care. She graciously accepted my last-minute reservation during the holiday season, and I am deeply appreciative of her assistance. During our final meet-and-greet, she provided me with a comprehensive overview of the Rover platform. Her thorough updates were invaluable. Notably, when I inadvertently missed her call regarding a question, she demonstrated remarkable self-sufficiency in making appropriate decisions. Furthermore, she went above and beyond to ensure Lilo’s well-being during a power outage in my area, bringing in packages left at my doorstep. I eagerly anticipate continuing this partnership with Sarah on Rover.”
About: Se habla español. 会说中文。 I have been working doing dog training for the past 4 years. Puppy and senior dog experience. While working at a doggie day care training and boarding facility I was able to work with many different types of dogs! My property is large enough for dogs to be able to really run and play. I have a front yard fence to provide an extra layer of safety for anyone who likes to sneak out front doors. I always provide a little bit of complementary training to all of the dogs that stay with us. I feel that a trained dog has more freedom and improved relationships with their people in addition to the mental and physical enrichment they get from learning! 💕 dogs who stay with me will get a little bit of the following types of training: Downs sits downstays Fetch Leash skills Tug Heel Place respecting thresholds Understanding of dog psychology helps me to make sure that dogs have good play etiquette. Play is monitored to make sure that no one is getting bullied or being bothered if they want to rest. Complementary training and dietary suggestions are available if you are interested. I regularly have dog training clients as well as board and train dogs at my house so I’m only able to accept well socialized dogs at this time. My husband and I are both working from home so I have a flexible schedule to be there for you and your fur babies. My 2 dogs love company and are ready to play and chill with friends. I do walks before the temperature gets over 80• to protect their little foots 🐾 I have a fenced front and back yard for everyone to hang out outside and a pet friendly interior with a doggie door. I can easily crate anyone who needs it. Playing in the pool is always monitored for those who like to swim.
“Laura was an amazing caretaker for our two pups! She was very engaging, and her love of animals is clear. We would absolutely recommend her to friends and family, and look forward to having her watch our pups again ?”
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:)
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my cat for me. The level of care that went into watching her was amazing and the care she had for my apartment was so unbelievably kind. The lock to my front door broke and after informing me of the situation contacted maintenance and had them fix it in my absence while ensuring she was there to look after Eden when it was being changed. On top of this the awesome photos and videos made it a wonderful and stress free experience and I can’t recommend them enough.”
About: I grew up with a full range of dog breeds and even horses! Those big pups don't worry me at all! I am runner who enjoys 4-legged company, and I currently use that skill while volunteering at Bradshaw Animal Shelter with their Pit Bull Socialization and Obedience Crew (PB SOC). In addition, I take daily walks along the river just behind my house. I find every dog has a unique personality that deserves patience and understanding, mutual respect is of the utmost importance to me. BONUS: I own an event and portrait photography company, so the check-in photos and selfies are going to be top-notch.
“My original pet-sitter was booked the weekend I needed help, so I searched Rover for a nearby sitter. That's where I found Andie! She checked in on my cat for four nights while I was out of town. She fed him, played with him, and cleaned his box each night. She sent me lots of pictures, which I loved! She was also a great communicator. I really appreciate the help she gave, and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Andie for cats or dogs. Thanks so much for everything!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I will love spending time with them. I have learned to take care of a multitude of different animals and now I am excited to take care of yours! I am currently on my summer break from college so I have lots of time to be able to do different services like walking, house sitting, etc. I have experience staying at others homes to take care of pets. I always follow the instructions given by the owner and am respectful in their space!
“I reached out to Maya at the last minute to help with my dog. She was prompt in replying back to me and easy to work with. She made sure to send me pictures, and I felt at ease that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again.”
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.
“Luke has been great with my little baby girl! She got excited seeing Luke in the first visit so I knew she’d love him! Thank you so much for making my weekend away a fun and safe one for my puppy! I hope to book with you again soon!”
“Alexandrea dropped in on our 2 big black labs for 3 days while we were traveling. She was always on time and very responsive. I had to add another drop in at the last minute and she was able to help us! I'm very grateful for her hard work and would be happy to use her again.”
About: I could be one of the biggest dog lovers you have ever met! I cannot pass a dog without saying a quick hello! I love snuggles and dog kisses. I also have plenty of experience cat sitting. I now work from home for a large animal welfare organization so I am happy to come visit your pet and give them some well deserved love and attention.
“Sam took care of our kitties while we were out of town for the weekend. We would 100% book with her again! She was amazing with the cats and even brought in some packages from the porch. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always been around animals but ever since I was 13, I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends and family. I’ve helped with bathing them, walking them, playing with them, and feeding them. Currently I work in the daytime, so I’m almost always available everyday in the later afternoon and evening. I’ll have time to play and take care of your fur babies. I’m pretty energetic myself. I have a mini patio for outside time before or after walks, I also have my own two fur babies but they are very friendly and love to play. If your dog isn’t much of an active pup or becomes too anxious, I will gladly put my pups away separately, allowing your pup better space and comfort.
About: Having shared my life with pets from a young age, caring for them has become second nature to me. Currently, I extend that same love and devotion to the furry companions of family and friends, offering them a nurturing environment whenever they need it. My schedule is flexible and accommodating. Please feel free to message me with the times that work best for you and your furry babies. I'm here to help! How I care for pets in their home is by following specific instructions to the owners and pet's needs, and being committed to following and respecting the instructions as well as providing warm comfort and safety for pets in their home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carmichael
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.
Jessica was fantastic! Very good communication and super friendly. Our cats unfortunately got into a fight while she was there and she broke it up swiftly and separated them appropriately, as well as updated me right away. She also had to do a last minute ask of giving my cat twice daily medicine after an emergency dental surgery and took it on well and with no gripes at all. She definitely knows what she’s doing and I highly recommend her!
Susan has cared for my cat several times, my cat likes her! He can be moody and Susan understands that. She plays with him, brushes him and doesn’t worry when he’s camera shy. He’s comfortable around her and she takes good care of him. I have the peace of mind that he’s okay when I’m away!
We adopted our 8-month-old kitties when they were 4 months old. They haven't been around other humans much other than us so I was concerned that they would be fearful of a cat sitter. Johnna was an excellent choice for us and them. She sent playful pictures and good notes. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands with her. I am so grateful.
I hired Sara for a drop-in for my two cats and requested she also water my backyard vegetable garden. During the meet and greet my cats warmed to her quickly and I knew she would be great with them. She took notes on what to do and where to find things which gave me confidence in the service she would provide. On the day of the drop-in she was punctual and communicated when she arrived. She sent pictures, handled all the tasks to care for our cats with ease and went above and beyond to play with our two cats. I would hire Sara again and recommend her to others. Your fur babies would be in great hands. Thank you, Sara!
Kristin is fabulous. My cats loved her. Without my asking she cleaned the litter off the floor and even watered the plants in my front that are not on sprinklers. She is very responsive and responsible and fantastic with animals. I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing sitter for my fur babies. It makes me feel more comfortable going away. Book her if you can!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
