“What a great experience for me and especially Molly’s. Noel also seemed to enjoy the day. Even though it started out a bit rocky-lockeed her out-the rest of the was perfect. Will definitely use Noel again”
“Maddison (aka Rose) did a great job with our dogs and house! She kept in touch with us while we were gone, kept the dogs entertained, held a fish funeral, and left us with more Its-Its in the freezer than we started with. We will definitely be using her again if she's available when we're out of town.”
“Ashlin wwashable to accommodate us with fairly short notice and house sit with our two dogs for the holiday weekend. She was communicative and made sure the dogs both got some exercise. The house was in great shape when we returned home too.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I provide regular updates with photos, stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is receiving reliable, compassionate, and personalized care. I am a full time student all online! I have a reliable car! I am a night owl! Can be a morning riser when needed! I know when my old boy is not feeling well, hot or just need to eat. I have him for 11 years and since he was 8 weeks old! I went through the puppy stage and now while he my old man.
“Riley did amazing with Kilo! He kept me posted with pictures and followed his eating schedule. Riley was respectful of my phone and allowed Kilo plenty of pool time. Will definitely book with Riley again in the future!”
“Jourdan is a fantastic pet sitter. We have 2 spoiled dachshunds and they totally enjoyed her company. We had lots of rain while we were gone and she made sure that they did potty outside and then kept them warm and cozy inside with blankets after being towel dried. The pups gave her 2 paws up and can't wait to see her again!”

“Micheal came for an interview and we were impressed wirh his experience, knowledge of pet and house sitting. This was our 1st time we left a stranger in our house to take care of our pet. Micheal was kind, neat and respected our home. He followed our instructions and most important he took great care of our wonderful pet. They bonded and Micheal sent us pictures daily of our pet. Micheal took the stress away while not being our pet Chica. Thank you Micheal you did a great job.”
“Travis was absolutely awesome with our girls. He sent pictures every day and kept us updated. Which was a huge stress reliever b/c me and my now husband were away getting married. We will definitely keep him in mind for future pet sitting.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember because of the unconditional love, joy, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’ve also had cats, and to me, they’re all family—not just pets. ❤️🐾 Now that my children are grown and I no longer have pets of my own, caring for other people’s beloved fur babies has become something I truly enjoy. I give each dog my full attention, patience, affection, and TLC. Whether they’re young, senior, shy, recovering, or a show dog, I care for each one according to their individual needs and personality. I also administer pills if needed as well. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved—just like they’re at home. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being cared for as one of my own. I’m a mature, honest, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter. I don’t smoke, drink, or have visitors. I’m also a homeowner so I’ll take good care of you house n pets just as I would with mine. I also take in the mail, making sure the pool man/gardener come in time, and taking garbage out. I leave minimal footprint at your house because i like to leave the place as clean or cleaner than when i left it. I provide services to the following areas: Roseville, Fair Oaks, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills. I’m happy to provide excellent references from pet parents who have trusted me with their beloved companions. I do take care of small dogs (1:1 only!) at my house (a 1bd/1ba condo) too if you like in my home dog sitting services. Most of my customers are repeated customers or from words of mouth which I truly appreciated. Please make any inquiries about my service or if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you I’m retired so i have a lot of time for dogs/cats sitting…:). I’m available 7 days/week. This is the thing that I enjoy doing most. This also allows me to get my pet fix…lol..:). I really enjoy taking care of pets (dogs or cats) as though they’re my own whether at my house ( I live in a condo and we have grassy areas throughout the complex) or at your house. My goal is have them feel like I’m just another family member. I feed, play, and walk with them. I also check mail, bring packages in, and water the plants at your home.
“Kara did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs as well as sending us pictures of them! She did a great job giving them their meds and overall fantastic job! I highly recommend her!”
“Stephanie took excellent care of my 16 year old Molly. She sent me messages and pictures every day about how Molly was doing. Stephanie was respectful of my home and neighbors. Prior to leaving she made sure Molly was placed in the den with plenty of food and water until I got home. Upon my return the house was spotless with clean sheets on the bed and freshly washed towels. Stephanie did an excellent job and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter. Thank you Stephanie for the great care you showed Molly.”
About: I have had several pets at any given time for the last ten years. I know how to care for mostly any critter you have, and have had lots of experience! Currently we have 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and a parakeet at my house. However, I’ve also owned a cat, fish, multiple hamsters, and even a bunny at one point. It’s safe to say I’ve learned a thing or two about being a pet owner in my time, but I’m also totally open to learning how to care for pets I don’t know too much about! I’m very much aware how much work it is to care for small animals like rodents, as I’ve had at least one since my 7th birthday :) Little guys such as guinea pigs, bunnies, rats, and hamsters have such special places in my heart, they’re just so cute! I also love dogs a lot. Honestly, all animals are pretty cool. I’m currently in college while also working part time. However, in my free time I’m available for whatever you need me for! Anytime after 3 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends I’m at your dog walking needs. Anytime on weekends work for both dog walking and pet sitting. I love pets a lot and adore how bright their individual personalities shine! I like playing games with them such as fetch, or taking them on walks or to the park to run around. At my house I like laying around with my dogs all around me watching TV, so if that’s something your pet enjoys too, we’ll get along just fine ;)
“Brooklyn took great care of our pets and our house. We appreciated the numerous pictures of happy pups and could tell they enjoyed her company. We would happily hire her again.”
“Zair was an excellent cat sitter for my little ones. Prompt, responsive, communicative, and helped my cats feel comfortable during my time away from home. I would highly recommend her services.”
About: Senior dogs are my specialty. I understand that older pups may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent potty breaks, shorter walks, mobility accommodations, or simply someone who is happy to sit beside them and provide some company. Sometimes the best walk is a leisurely sniff around the block—and sometimes it’s a very dignified stroll to the mailbox. I’m here for both. What sets me apart is that I treat your dog like an individual, not a checklist. I pay attention to their personality, routine, comfort level, and those little quirks that make them them. I’m responsible, observant, dependable, and genuinely love animals. And if your senior pup prefers naps, snacks, and judging the neighbors from the window? I speak that language too. I am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and most weekends for a morning stroll, potty break, or simple snuggles. Safety and your comfort are my priority. Your home, their rules. 🐾 I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pup is most comfortable. I’ll follow your routines, instructions, feeding schedules, medications (if applicable), and all those very important household rules—yes, even the one about not letting them convince me they “haven’t been fed yet.” 😉 During visits, your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being appropriately spoiled. I do not provide boarding or pet care in my own home. My goal is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog by caring for them right where they’re happiest: at home, in their own space, with their own stuff.

Mariah did a wonderful job house sitting for our two dogs and three cats for the weekend. Thank you for taking good care of our fur babies. She sent updates and pictures to keep us informed on how everything was going. We wouldn't hesitate to have Mariah take care of our girls again. Thank you!
Travis did great job watching our two small dogs and cat. He did Pet sitting for us at our house for 10 days. He Took great care of the house. Watered the plants and kept everything in great shape. We definitely recommend Travis and look forward to using him again in the future.
Jourdan did a great job watching our pup Scout when we were out of town for the weekend! He got lots of walks, cuddles, and love. And Jourdan kept our home spotless. Pretty sure Scout has a new best friend! We’d definitely book house sitting with Jourdan again!
Angela is just amazing! Every booking is a little different- but she is a total professional everytime, flexible with us, completely reliable and a great communicator. I am so happy we found her and that she keeps agreeing to watch our sweet but slightly wild pit bull. Angela- you are greatly appreciated!
We used Kiley to watch our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for our wedding. Our dogs loved her and were so excited to see her walk in through the door following our meet and greet. She provided us updates of the pets and went above and beyond by accommodating all my requests when I had forgotten something and needed it placed outside for a pickup! Super sweet, reliable, and helpful — all that you want and need in a pet sitter!
We love Hannah!! She is very considerate of our home and our dog Luna. She asks great questions on how to best provide care tailored to her needs, so we can leave feeling very comfortable that our pup is in good hands. We always come home to a very clean home which we also appreciate! Thanks Hannah!
Wow!! Jade was the BEST experience so far with a 24 hr sitter. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Jade kept the house clean and exceeded every expectation. Jade’s communication and attention to details was great! Jade stayed on top of a sore that opened on one of my dogs and went and bought supplies. In all the pictures the dogs seemed to be loving the company and attention. I HIGHLY recommend Jade as a pet sitter and will definitely use her again!
Kate is amazing! I know my home and animals will be safe with her. She has sat for us on several occasions and on this last one, there was a stinky situation. The dogs got sprayed by a skunk! Kate handled it amazingly, let me know what happened and bathed the dogs in the middle of the night. I think others might have run that point, but not Kate! 10/10. She is amazing.
We could not have asked for a better person to care for Remi and our home while we were away. Nancy truly went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just take care of Remi—she made sure Remi had a great time! She took her on walks and to the dog park, played endless games of ball, prepared her special meals of chicken and quinoa, and even took her to the store to buy new balls. She also brought some unique balls from her own home because she thought Remi would enjoy them—which, of course, she did! Nancy kept us updated every day with texts, photos, and videos. Being away from Remi is never easy, but those updates gave us such peace of mind. We could see that Remi was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying herself, and we never had to worry about whether she was being well cared for. Nancy stayed in our home every night and treated our home with the same care she gave Remi. We came home to a clean house, dog hair picked up, and she had even gathered the linens and put them in the laundry. None of that was expected—it was simply Nancy going the extra mile. Most importantly, we came away knowing we can completely trust Nancy with two things that mean a great deal to us: Remi and our home. We were so pleased with her that we have already booked her for our next trip. We highly recommend Nancy and feel very fortunate to have found her. Remi may be the happiest of all—she gets to have Nancy come back! 🐾❤️
Laura is amazing! She loves my pets as much as I do and leaves my home better than I left it! She is thoughtful and sends daily pictures. She also communicates when she has a question or concern and is always keeping me in the loop. I highly recommend Laura!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fair Oaks is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $79 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fair Oaks walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fair Oaks maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fair Oaks choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fair Oaks. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
