“Kaitlyn and Phillip were both awesome and professional! They did daily 30-minute drop-ins for my cat while I was on vacation. I received tons of photos and updates so I knew my kitty cat was being loved and taken care of. They did everything I asked them to and more. I will definitely be using them again for my next vacation!”

About: As a lifelong pet lover, I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I grew up with a Jack Russell Terrier and a tabby cat, and I currently have a cat of my own named Charlie. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific care routines to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. Being a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’ll treat your pets like family while making sure they receive plenty of care, attention, playtime, and affection! As a part-time nurse, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I can work around your pet’s routine to provide consistent care, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or extra cuddles and companionship. I understand how important reliability and consistency are for pets, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! Since I have a cat of my own, Charlie, I’m unable to board other pets in my home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home! I know pets feel most comfortable in a familiar environment, surrounded by their usual routines and belongings. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of playtime, take for walks, and lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to administer medications and follow any specific instructions to keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and provide updates for your peace of mind!
“Shout out for Amanda! My cat has a new habit of jumping onto the roof and did so while Amanda was checking in to feed him --- She firmly called him back, and he came! That's because he trusts her. I appreciate that A LOT. Thanks Amanda!!!”
“Kati was a life saver! Our normal sitter had to cancel last minute and Kati came to the rescue. She looked after our two cats while we were gone and did an amazing job. Her communication was great. We would not hesitate to have Kati watch our cats in the future. Thank you Kati!”
“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.”
“George was very communicative and great with updates every visit he made. The dogs loved him and did everything we asked to take care of our dogs. He will be our first to go to the next time we need someone to take care of our 2 dogs.”
“Had to leave Leo for a long weekend to visit family in New England - never boarded him or left him with sitter before. Randi did great job taking care of Leo and we appreciated the feedback I. How he was doing and the photos”
“Ana was wonderful with Buddy while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. Buddy can be very picky and set in his routines, and Ana was incredibly patient and caring with him. We truly appreciated the updates, attention, and care she provided throughout the week. It made it so much easier for us to relax knowing he was being looked after so well. We’re very grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter. 💛”

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.
