“Kaitlyn did a great job. Followed all my instructions and took great photos. She went the extra mile to make sure the kitties I feed were taken care of while I was away.”
“Sara was amazing from start to finish. She really cares about your pet and will treat them like her own. We felt very comfortable enjoying our vacation, knowing that they were so well taken care of.”
About: I am a local pet-owner (a dog and a cat) who would be happy to care for your animals as if they were my own! I work full-time as a school-based occupational therapist. I am available for weekend care during the school year and all week long during the summer months! I would be delighted to care for and spend time with your pets in your home or take your pets for walks in your area!
“This was our first time trying the Rover app & Alexi was amazing!! She watched our kitties for the 4th of July and sent us adorable pictures of our pets and even got a paw print painting from our kitten!🥰 We couldn't be happier with how awesome Alexi was! She will definitely be our go to if we need a Rover in the future!”
“Nora was fantastic! My schedule is a little chaotic but she was patient and understanding with me. Both of my pups have their own quirks and she adapted to their needs. I would absolutely have her take care of my pups again (one is a 55lb lab/pit mix and the other is a 100lb Great Pyrenees).”
“We had Kylah watch our two cats while we travelled out of the country. She was very responsive, professional and easy to communicate with. She provided daily updates with lots of pictures. Our cats felt very comfortable with her. One of our cats requires daily medication and Kylah was able to do this without any issues. We would 100% recommend Kylah to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again any time we need someone to watch our pets!”
“Tanya was amazing and very thorough! She made sure my fur baby was comfortable and taken care of while I was gone. She was also very accommodating when my trip got cut short and i ended up coming home earlier than expected. I would definitely choose her to take care of my pet again!”
“Megan was wonderful with my kittens. She was very thorough in her communications about their eating habits and attitudes. They were incredibly comfortable with her. She went above and beyond by taking the trash out and making sure their dishes had been rinsed out before I got home from my trip. I would absolutely book with Megan again!”
“I’ve had Barbara come and do drop in visits with my dog on two separate occasions (both week long trips) and I will never have someone else do it! Bentley is a picky pup when it comes to the people around him and who he lets in his house, but he loved Barbara from the first second she walked in. Everyday I got pictures of him smiling, playing and not being a totally grumpy, lazy old man and I couldn’t ask for anything else while I’m away from him. I trust her 100% with my dog and my home, and I feel so lucky that I found her! It takes a weight off my shoulders knowing that someone is loving him as hard as I do, when I’m not there to do. THANK YOU BARBARA!”
“Brooke was so easy to work with and sweet with my pet. She was also very communicative and left me with a detailed description of her visit with my cat and photos. We will definitely use her again!”
“She is amazing! Thank you so much Cindy! Took care of my kitty so well. She kept me updated, sending me so many pictures. Cindy is professional and always on time. Highly recommend 👍🏻🤍”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our two English springer spaniels in the care of Ana while we were away on vacation. Ana gave daily reports via the app, communicated well, arrived every day on time and left our dogs a personalized goodie bag on her last visit! We would definitely recommend Ana and plan to use her again!”
“Ana took on our request last minute and was wonderful with our dogs. She was very prompt and included photos with all of her drop in visits. We would definitely recommend Ana to anyone needing pet care.”
“Katelyn did an incredible job taking care of Cleo. I came home to a calm, happy, and well-brushed cat, which says everything. She also went above and beyond by watering my plants and taking out the trash. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. I highly recommend Katelyn for any pet care, she truly loves animals and is especially wonderful with cats.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Kaitlyn vwas great! Very understanding when I had to switch some dates around. I felt like she really understood my spoiled little ones and tried to make them feel comfortable and cared for while I was gone. She did so much more than just feeding and watering and litter scooping,she checked the mail and watered plants as needed, took trash can to street and back, just did all the little things that needed looking after. I really appreciate her taking care of us.Thanks!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fair Oaks on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
