“Lauren made our first Rover experience so easy and stress-free. She took great care of our cats, sent us lots of sweet photos, and even cleaned up some throw up (not a fun task, but SO appreciated!). Super friendly, reliable, and on time. We’d definitely book her again!”
“Maddy was our first Rover sitter for our 2 cats. Both are easy and just need to be fed and our tabby likes to have some attention. Maddy was consistent with her visits and we appreciated that and communicated when she needed to adjust her visit time. We have another booking with Maddy in the coming week.”
About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too. July 2026 added two more cats and another cat tower. 😊
“Ayla was fabulous. She took great care of our two cats and parrot for 11 days. She sent us photos and video of every visit and she spent a lot of time playing with them. I hope she will be available next time we need a sitter. I would highly recommend Ayla!”
About: I have been watching animals since I was young , as somebody who has grown up with cats, dogs, chickens, turtles, parrots etc. I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for pets of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets. I’m responsible, caring, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I love being around animals and am happy to spend as much time with them as needed. I take great care of my own pets and always make sure they are fed, comfortable, safe, and given plenty of attention. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I would treat them the same way while following their normal routine and any instructions their owner provides. I’ll make sure they get plenty of playtime, walks, food, water, and attention while you’re away.
“Deborah did an amazing job watching our kitties during our wedding trip. She sent lots of pictures and updates which we love. Very communicative and responsive. Will absolutely book again! 💕”
About: I’m a part-time working mom looking to fill my free hours doing what I love! I have my own special needs dog (cleft palate), and have fostered dogs previously, one with spina bifida. I’ve been raised with cats and dogs my entire life, as well as birds and small critters as a child! I’ve always cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, as well ad housesat, and spent a lot of my childhood shadowing and spending time with my cousin who was a veterinarian. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to come check on and spend time with your doggos! My schedule does change and fluctuate, but I can typically work around and with it. I don’t care for pets in my home, but when I care for them in yours, I will always treat them as my own while following all of your rules and guidelines. I know how important that is to me when someone watches my special needs dogs, so I will always respect and follow any and all instructions!
“Deanna was very conscientious and great at communicating with us while we were out of town. We knew our cat was in good hands - even though he’s a fraidy cat and barely made an appearance!”
About: I've been taking care of people's pets for around 10 years for neighbors and friends. I've pet sat overnight, taken care of various sizes and ages of pets, and I am able to feed, bathe, walk, and play with your pets. I have a passion for animals and have experience with growing up with dogs during my lifetime. While I am not a licensed trainer, I do have experience training my own dogs to do various tricks and potty training. I work almost full-time with two jobs. My work schedule is consistent every week and I am very good with time management and my planning out my schedule. I'm willing to make your schedule fit within my schedule. I already go on walks so this is already something that’s part of my routine. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands. I can play with your pet and give it the full attention it needs when you are away. I can feed, walk, bathe, and play with them. I would much prefer to care for dogs that are people friendly and not aggressive as I am a small human being. I'll ask you a few questions to ensure the safety of your pet and for me as well.
“Amy was great and so sweet with my two cats! She followed directions well (my overly specific notes lol), and was caring to my more sensitive adult cat as well as my friendly kitten! She also didn’t bat an eye when my older cat unexpectedly barfed two separate times and she cleaned it up. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrrived home! Will book Amy again”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and a genuine bond with dogs. While I haven’t worked as a professional dog sitter before, I’ve been caring for dogs since I was seven years old. I’m now 32, and throughout my life, I’ve had a Maltese, an English Setter, and a Gordon Setter. My setters were hunting dogs, so I’m comfortable with energetic, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’ve trained them in basic obedience, manners, and recall, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and clear boundaries. I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, and I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. I can also teach simple commands and fun tricks like sit, stay, lie down, roll over, spin, and shake. I am a Spanish woman who moved to Folsom with my husband a year ago. I am a great animal lover and I have had dogs since I was little. In my childhood, I lived with two setters: an English setter and a Gordon setter, and a Maltese bichon. This has given me experience with both large and small dogs. Now, although we cannot have one of our own, I would love to care for others, as I greatly enjoy their company. My daily routine is flexible, and I have full availability to adapt to the needs of clients and their pets. I fully adapt to each pet’s needs. I am very attentive and will always ensure the dog has food, water, and is comfortable. If I notice something is wrong, I address it immediately. I handle walks carefully, avoiding direct sun, and if bathing is needed, I do so with experience, using proper shampoos and conditioners, especially for long coats. I can also brush them. If a vet visit is required, I will take care of it. Additionally, I love playing with dogs and making sure they feel calm and happy when their owners are away. In short, I handle all the care a dog needs with attention and affection.
About: I've had a large dog since the age of 2, at one point I had two dogs and have consistently taken care of friends dogs as well as my grandparents 4 dogs in addition to my own. I am a consistent dog sitter and am expanding my services to rover after using referrals and the Nextdoor app previously I am available all day on weekends and work a relatively flexible schedule weekdays. I am gone from 8-3 but make sure to spend as much time with your animals as possible so they don’t miss you too much! I will care for my client’s pets in their home by staying in my designated area as well as making sure to complete each task they ask of me. I don't mind feeding your fish or watering your plants either!
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My next-door neighbor would trust me for weeks at a time to take care of her old cat, and I would always take care of my pets when my parents weren’t home. Over the past year and a half, I worked at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve decided to take on pet-sitting full time while I finish college with my career goal being a veterinarian! I also own a leopard gecko, giving me experience handling exotic reptiles! Whether your pets need frequent potty breaks, walks, play-dates, or any sort of medication, I’m your gal! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m currently unemployed, and about to finish my college semester- giving me of the time in the world to work with you and your pets! My availability will always be flexible and I will be attentive to any of your needs. I live with one (soon to be two) dogs! My current dog is very sweet and sociable- she loves to make new friends! I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Makaila was so kind and caring, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. Makaila kept in great communication with me throughout the stay and sent the cutest pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. She treated my pets as if they were her own and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she provided, and I will absolutely be booking with Makaila again in the future.

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.

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 .

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 .
