“Bryce went above and beyond in every way, I have nothing else, but good things to say about his work. He communicated well and made sure to inform me if something happened. I came home to a happy and healthy cat 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Juliana was wonderful with my boys! She did some drop-in visits while I was out of town for a funeral. She was flexible, on time, stayed to play, and even cleaned up after my two large dogs. Lovely personality and very sweet. Thank you, Juliana! :)”
“Katelyn was great with Nala. I didn’t have to worry while she was with my Nala. She followed all instructions and made Nala feel very comfortable when walking and playing with her. She is also very reliable, prompt, and caring. 10/10!”

“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!”
“Kati did a phenomenal job looking after our cat Fritz. She was so communicative and sent me a detailed update with every drop in. Kati took the best pictures and cared for him as if he was her own! This was the first time we have left our kitty with someone we didn’t know. I felt so reassured and had no worries about Fritz when we were gone. I couldn’t recommend Kati enough!”
“Can’t recommend her enough! Lara was awesome to work with! She showed up on time and was able to carry out Raegans complex scheduled needs to a T! She also played with him so he didn’t get lonely and was very attentive and could be easily reached whenever.”
“Kayla was very accomodating and communicative during her drop-ins. She went above and beyond and I could tell Motley felt loved on and very comfortable with her. Would highly recommend using her for your pet care needs!”
“Stacey was very communicative, responsive, and professional. She was okay with my dog's quirks and took care of them as instructed. She was even flexible with some changes I had to make to the booking. Will definitely use her again!”

“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she very much exceeded my expectations with the quality of care she gave my cats while I was away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Emersyn was absolutely wonderful with Molly! Communication was great, and we really appreciated the updates and knowing Molly was being so well taken care of. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone else, but Emersyn made the whole experience stress-free. We could tell Molly was in good hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Emersyn!
Kaitlyn was amazing. I have heard of the Rover company but never needed outside help. The pre-meeting with Kaitlyn set my mind at ease. She made me feel so comfortable with the process. I knew my dogs would be in good hands. I came home to two happy girls and a house well cared for! I appreciate everything she did for the dogs and for me.
Bryce was absolutely phenomenal with my Mastiff. From the moment we met, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands dogs. My Mastiff is a big part of my family, and Bryce cared for him as if he were one of his own. Throughout the stay, Bryce was attentive, reliable, and incredibly compassionate. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was comfortable, well-exercised, and happy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It's not easy trusting someone else with a giant breed, but Bryce handled everything with confidence and care. When I picked up my dog, he was relaxed, content, and clearly had been treated with love and attention the entire time. That says everything. Bryce goes above and beyond, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring dog sitter. If you're considering Bryce, don't think twice. Your dog will be in amazing hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fair Oaks is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,157 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fair Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fair Oaks. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
