“Colina was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond caring for our pup. She took the time to locate his leash, made sure he got a good walk, and ensured he had a chance to go to the bathroom. We really appreciated her attentiveness and care, and would absolutely trust her with our dog again.”

About: My pet care history is broad from cats to dogs. My childhood dog required senior care due to obesity and deformities. I’ve had outdoor cats as well as tending to neighbors cat feedings when away to avoid critters getting to food. Recently house sat for senior cat. And I’ve cared for mother and pups from birth to age. I am available mostly evenings and weekends. As early as 3 pm depending on distance. Weekends allow for long hours. I currently take care of a child during the week day till 2:30. How I take care of your dog will depend on how you request, the breed and needs of the dog. Cats are the same situation, however due to my allergy I may decline connections with needy cats.
“Brianna provided excellent care for our two cats. Both cats are very shy and she was able to charm one to playing with her. I will definitely choose her the next time I need a sitter.”

About: I'm currently in the middle of a career transition following a lay off. I have the flexibility now to support working cat parents by providing drop in visits during busy work hours. I will provide the same level of care as I would for my own cat in my home. That means watching my feet for escape artists when I enter and exit, learning your cat's unique play style and knowing when to give affection and when to give space.

I’m patient, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know how they’re doing! I currently work full time with 2 days off. I receive my schedule ahead of time and will only ever have days between Monday-Thursday off as I guaranteed work weekends I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

About: ⚠️all previous dogsitting has been done off rover⚠️. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled with plenty of attention and affection. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m experienced in giving oral medications and am comfortable following special care instructions to keep your pet healthy and happy. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’ll provide personalized care, regular exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photos and updates throughout the day so you can see all the fun activities, walks, playtime, and cuddles your pup is enjoying. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and in caring, reliable hands. I am currently going to school at Sacramento State University, going into my junior year. This upcoming semester starts late August, I have classes Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10-5pm. I am also actively doing weekly visits with Lucy (in pictures). I typically have an open schedule, and can always make time for any animal! I have 3 acres of land and 2 energetic dogs, I feed and give water to them daily. I also take them to run the yard daily. I have 4 cats which one is my personal cat, I feed and give water daily ( clean litter box every 2 days). I also have a turtle which I let stand in the sun daily for 15 minutes ( with monthly tank cleanings. I just recently got 5 female chickens, I give them a fresh water bucket and full feeder daily.
About: Hey there! I'm from Wilton, and I'm great with animals. What sets my apart is I have had dogs, cats and horses my whole life. On top of that I also have chickens, ducks, goats, and geese. So I don't mess around when it comes to animal care. Aside from providing exceptional care with my personal animals, I've also worked at a dairy where I milked the cows, fed them, and spent HOURS of time caring for them- so I'm definitely not new to spending some great time with animals that aren't mine. A lot of people I think come to pet sitting sites to earn some extra cash spending time with YOUR animals because it’s "easy". Truthfully, I'm doing this because I want to ease the anxiety of someone leaving their beloved family members (Yes I'm talking about your pets because they are definitely family) with someone they don't know, and provide others with the same amount of care and love I'd want someone to treat my animals with. My dog has a personal morning routine to get her hyped for the day, so I'm good with animals that need a little extra TLC! I work part time 4 days a week Monday through Thursday 6am-3pm. So for the rest of the day I'm free! I love to be outside and staying active so if your animals love the smell of the outside and having someone play games that get their brain moving- I'd love to help! I also do not work on weekend's so am totally free to pet-sit on weekends and weekdays! I live on 3 acres with friendly dogs, and lots of opportunity for your pets to be around animals they typically wouldn't see! I also have a kennel area if you would prefer that.
“You can tell Reginay loves animals. She is very patient and works with your pet to make sure they are comfortable. Very communicative and will send pictures and videos throughout the day. Toni loves his stays there. 🥰”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, we always had at least one dog or cat in the house and when I got older I was able to pet sit for friends and family and bond with even more furry friends. I’m very comfortable with all sorts of differents needs and personalities and I’m happy to change my routine to whatever suits your pet’s needs best. I have a super flexible schedule, so whenever your pet needs me is when I’ll be there! I’m happy to stop by for a quick check-in or stay longer and provide some play time or cuddles. Your pet’s well being is my top priority and I’ll do everything possible to ensure they stay happy and healthy while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide frequent updates, so you always know your pet is well taken care of.

I had a wonderful experience with kamie! She took excellent care of my three fur babies while I was away and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and attentive to their needs. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made the entire experience stress free I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. Highly recommended, and I would definitely book her again!❤️🐾

Bettina has been our go-to sitter and for a reason! She continues to provide exceptional care and kindness to our pets, including our new fur baby in the family. She has provided care before to my two dogs, Mocha and Bobee, and knows their routine and personalities well. We recently adopted a cat and were in good hands with Bettina as she had a pet cat herself. From checking in on time during the drop in visit to providing pictures and a detailed after visit note, we were able to go out and enjoy the night with the peace of mind knowing they were under Bettina’s care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Elk Grove is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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.

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 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.

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 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.
