“Khylei was amazing- my cats were very well taken care of, and my less shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello. I had so much peace of mind knowing that my cats were so well taken care of.”
“Emma is awesome ! For a first time user on this app , she made everything easy and had great communication the entire time . Emma definitely went above and beyond in caring for my black lab Lucy in which we look forward to booking with her again soon !”
About: I've taken care of my own pets as well ask friends and family's pets. They're part of the family and need to be treated as so. I recently moved back here. Looking for some fun and exploring with dog walking and owt sitting. I can be called last minute or scheduled out 6+ months. I have a fenced yard at my house. I will provide the top care for your animal in my home or your and follow your routines to the best of my ability
“Eliza did a great job keeping me updated on how my cats were doing while I was away. She took plenty of pictures and would write some notes of how each visit went, which I really appreciated. It was very reassuring knowing that I had Eliza taking care of my cats. I would definitely book with her again and would recommend anyone looking for a pet sitter to book with her. She's great!”
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
About: I have been an animal lover, and owner, my whole life as well as a volunteer when possible over the last 20 years. I have patience and a genuine love for animals, their safety and happiness. I take my reputation very seriously. I work for myself as a Newborn Care Specialist and Sleep Trainer. So I make my own schedule and therefore have flexibility to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I will always respect your home and your animals. I'm there to provide a service and I take pride in the work that I do. I will follow instructions/directions, communicate and be there for your pet as much or as little as they need/want me.
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.
“My cats did not want to leave. They had the time of their life in the catopia (enclosed area outdoors) where they could watch the birds and hear the waterfall. They got lots of attention. Julia took excellent care of them and sent me pictures and always told me how they were doing. I would highly recommend Julia for any pet care services.”
About: I grew up having dogs since I was a toddler and I’m very comfortable with them. I used to work at a doggy daycare as well where I learned a lot about reading dogs behavior and understanding when they’re comfortable. I have a large backyard for dogs that need space to roam around and plenty of space to potty for all. My 4 year old is always with me so I can only host a dog that is good with children and not aggressive. I’m a stay at home mom so I can provide a lot of potty breaks and attention to your pets! I have a 4 year old daughter that loves cats and dogs and has lots of energy so adding an animal to our routine is very easy. I’m always very respectful of your place. I know the trust that must be involved to let someone into your home and I don’t want to ruin that trust!
About: Although my career for the past 20 years has been in the mental health field, my passion is also for animals. I did not grow up with dogs, but had many cats, birds, turtles, snakes, and fish. Finally at the age of 34 I adopted my first dog, a pomeranian named Winston. He became the absolute love of my life quickly. I understood why so many people become so bonded with their doggies. Winston was by my side even when humans weren't. I never laughed so hard playing with him all those years and then never cried so hard when he passed recently. I miss him every single day. But feel so blessed to have had him in my life. Although I am not ready to get another dog, I am absolutely looking forward to helping other people with their family pets. I know I was extremely OCD with Winstons care and did not trust many people with him when I had to work or travel. So it means a lot to me to be trusted with your family pet. Plus, I get to have fun doing something that brings me joy! I am currently working part time so am pretty flexible. I am up early as well so can be the early helper if someone needs it. I am always mindful of my environment and will be so when I approach your house and pet. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years so am good at assessing a situation, staying calm and making good judgement calls. Safety is always a priority also. I want you and your pet to trust me and be safe.
“We've used Kay several times now as a cat-sitter, and each time our cat is happy and healthy when we return, we get plenty of thorough updates, and our house is just as we left it. Thanks, Kay!”
“Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I've been a dog lover for several years and have two rescued puppies who adore other dogs and tolerate cats. 😄 I love cuddling and giving pets, and dogs of all ages and sizes gravitate toward me, even before I was a dog owner myself. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, walks, and nature trails, and I'd like to do that with your pets as well. I will provide photos and text updates daily. I'm currently working remote 3 days a week, and am available evenings for drop-in visits, or on my lunch time, depending on your location. I will work with you on your pet's needs, and am happy to provide photos and text updates. I have a large, fenced backyard that's perfect for zoomies or lounging in the sun. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am tidy and respectful of my client’s personal space. I will make sure that your dog gets all the love and attention they need to feel good about the time they spend with me. While pet cuddles are the best, I know each pet has their own temperament and personality, so I allow the dogs to show me what they like.
About: I’ve had many years of working with animals not just dogs. One of my very first jobs in high school was working at a grooming shop where I would bathe dogs. I have experience with little and big dogs and I’m not intimidated by either. All dogs deserve love and treats. I grew up with two dogs and I currently have an 11 year old Staffordshire terrier. I’m currently working part time as a caregiver. I’ve been doing that for about five years now and I also go to school. I am studying to become a nurse. So I’m just looking for something that is simple and flexible. I don’t do boarding care. I strictly just want to help take dogs out on walks or just come and play with them for a little so they’re not home alone all day. my dog is friendly with others, but will not be included in the service. He is old and retired. If you know what I mean, he likes his sleep.
“Shelby is amazing! Very punctual and great at communicating. She did a great job taking care of our cat. She was very open to learning on how to take care of our cat (schedules, meals etc) and was patient with the process.”
“Sydney was great with our cat, Goya, and also did an excellent job in looking after the house. She was on top of everything and communicated when there was an issue or needed advice. She also sent plenty of pictures of Goya. We have already signed her up for future stays.”
About: 8 years of veterinary medical experience ranging from advanced to simple every day care. Let me know how I can help! Knowledge in both canine and feline! I am available all day Wed and Thursday. Monday/Tuesday free until 5-10pm but can still sleep over. Weekends - I work 8-4 pm and spend the night Unable to have pets in home. I currently do not have a pet friendly safe home but don’t mind coming to yours! I will respect your home 100%

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Citrus Heights
Madison is incredible. I booked 7 days while I was away on vacation to watch both my dog and cat. I felt comfortable the entire time. She asked all the right questions, had excellent communication, and provided regular updates. You’re in good hands with Madison!
Khylei was wonderful with our cats and rats! She was quick to respond to messages, took excellent care of our critters, and even went above and beyond with cleaning up the messes they made while we were away. The daily updates and photos were so reassuring as well. We'll definitely be reaching out to her for our future pet sitting needs!
Amanda was wonderful with our kitties as usual. Both warmed up to her without any issues (even our very wary cat). Amanda went out of her way to ensure cleanliness and safety, while sending us great photos and videos of our little ones while we were overseas, which we found very comforting. We came back home to very happy kitties and will certainly have Amanda again as our cat sitter!

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 .

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.
