About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and currently have a dog and two cats of my own. I’ve also cared for the pets of friends and family while they’ve been away, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I truly love animals and have a big heart for every pet I meet. I’m patient, gentle, and know that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy who loves to play, a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra patience, or an independent cat who just wants some company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I’d want someone to care for my own - with kindness, patience, and lots of attention. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for while you’re away. I currently work Tuesday through Thursday and Saturdays, so I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays. On my days off, I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule so I can be fully present for each pet and provide reliable, attentive care during every visit. I know it can be stressful leaving your pet in someone else’s care, which is why I prioritize communication just as much as great pet care. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you leave, and I’m always happy to send text updates, photos, and videos throughout my visit. You’ll be able to reach me at any time if you have questions or just want to check in, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Johnna is an amazing pet sitter. I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to know that she is the one in our home taking care of our beloved pets. I feel very fortunate to have found her.”
“Laura is simply the best! I don't think I can trust anyone else to take care of my cats while I'm away. She's even able to wrangle up my extremely shy cat, who needs an inhaler and eye drops.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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:)
“This is my second booking with Terisa after we had to travel out of town quickly. She was able to make time to drop in on our sweet kitty without a lot of notice. As always, she was able to follow all care instructions after only one meet and greet. She is very thorough and communicative and made sure to send us a lot of pictures of our cat to keep the worry at bay :)”
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!
About: I have had dogs since I was little, and always loved interacting with animals. Including dogs, I have also owned bunnies, hamsters, fish and cats. I currently have 2 kitties that I adore! I’ve worked with both smaller and larger breeds, and started this journey a few months ago. I currently work with a friend and have had positive experiences with all of my clients so far! I am comfortable doing overnight stays, check-ins, and walks. Expect lots of pictures!! I always treat every pet I sit for/check-in on as if they were my own. I also am in the process of obtaining my pet CPR certification! I am currently a student and am usually available most days of the week. My fall school schedule will keep me occupied Tuesdays from 8am-2pm, and Thursday from 8am-10:30am. Usually afternoons work better, but I can do mornings when needed! For overnight stays, I am okay with staying for most of the day as long as I can leave for appointments and such. I enjoy staying in, so I don’t mind it :) I love to play with the pets as much as possible! Seeing them happy, fed and satisfied makes my day and I’ll do my best to meet their every need. I always take lots of pictures, mostly because I can’t handle the cuteness! If they have strict feeding, walking or medication schedules, I will make sure to stick to those. I just need written instructions and I am good to go!
“Cheyenne was an amazing cat sitter!! She committed to helping us out super last minute and had great communication while we were out of town. She sent beautiful photos and updates on each kitty which made me feel confident they were in loving, caring hands. We highly recommend Cheyenne for all of your pet sitting needs! We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“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.”
“Sofia was accountable and so kind to our animals. My pets were well taken care of when we were out of town. I would be happy and feel comfortable having Sofia take care of my animals anytime!”
“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 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.
“Shana was super friendly and accommodating. She came by for a generous meet and greet prior to sitting and then helped me navigate the Rover website to schedule. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. It was clear that she went above and beyond in entertaining my 7month old GS. I highly recommend her services . Thanks so much Shana”
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.

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Carmichael on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,965 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 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.

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 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.
