About: I have had pets all my life and hope to one day own a farm. We all love and care for the pets we have and would love to take care of your babies. We will provide a safe environment for everyone! 😊 We are home most of the time and can take care of your pets. We can provide a safe, loving and caring environment. They will have play time, rest time, and we will keep their routine. I have a big sized yard, friendly dogs, a cat that mostly stays to herself. My kids handle pets carefully and are gentle with all animals.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my entire life. They are family and I consider them children but with four legs. I have had multiple experiences in training puppies and adults. I currently work full time M-F 7am-3:30pm. My evenings are free including overnight stays. On the weekends I am free anytime for day sitting, stopping by and overnight. I would make sure they are fed, watered, played with, loved on and have everything they need. I also follow any guidance or instructions their pet parents have for them.
About: I have grown up with & spent so much time with all sorts of dogs & cats. There has never been one that I have not adorn & treated like my own. I have grown up with puppies to senior dogs. I currently work 10’s Monday-Thursday, Friday through Sunday I would be way more flexible with caring & tending for your loved ones, but I can be flexible if needed & we can figure something out. I have four big dogs of my own, so I would prefer to care for your pet(s) at their home so they are comfortable. I could either do drop ins multiple times a day or stay over if needed. We will figure it out together!
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs at home and am very passionate about all animals; big and small. I love taking care of pets and my priority is making sure they’re happy, healthy, and having a good time! Whether that means going on walks, playing with toys, or hanging out inside, I’m willing to participate in any activity to make your pet(s) feel comfortable and cared for. I’m a freelance photographer and have a lot of spare time to petsit either a couple of times a day or for days at a time. I am available (typically) everyday and have a very flexible schedule. The majority of my “unavailable” days in my calendar consist of me petsitting for clients outside of Rover :) I am happy and willing to adhere to any rules and routines you have in your home. I’m a quick learner and like to write things down to make sure I have everything in order. I am nothing if not a rule-follower! 🫡
About: I have been around all kinds of animals. Growing up my Grandmother had goats, chickens, cats and dogs. So it was my responsibility to look after them and help out as much as l could and honestly I loved every bit of it.. I just enjoy being around them, being able to watch, play , and cuddle with them. I am the pawfect sitter for your fur baby. Pick me and you will not be disappointed. I will be available seven days a week so i will have plenty of time on my hands to help look after your fur baby. I have a pretty decent size backyard, lots of toys and things that a cat or dog will need. I also have a sweet Chihuahua named Bella, who is about 7 years old who loves to be around other cats and dogs. So they will have plenty of company and lots of fun.
“Shelly took great care of our 3 cats for 3 days. She responded quickly from request of booking until her last day. She came to our house ahead of time to meet them and became acquainted with the details. She brought in our mail and trash cans. Most importantly she provided excellent care for our skeptical trio. Within a day they came out for her and permitted petting! Shelly is highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, and my love for them has only grown stronger into adulthood. I’m passionate about learning and understanding all kinds of animals, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. My experience in pet care comes not only from caring for my own pets over the years, but also from helping family and friends with their beloved fur babies. My husband and I share our home with our sweet Rottweiler, Baltazar, who’s 8 years old and full of love, and our independent, grumpy cat, Midnight, who keeps us entertained in his own way. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to two boys, ages 4 and 8 months, who are already growing up with a love for animals. We treat every pet like part of our family, and we would love to care for yours with the same dedication and affection. I’m a full-time homemaker with a very flexible schedule, which means plenty of time to care for your furry friend. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in our safe, fenced yard, or simply snuggles indoors, your pup will get all the attention they deserve. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed, so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. I have a secure, fenced yard with plenty of space for your pet to roam safely. Our 8 year old Rottweiler, Baltazar, is very friendly with other dogs, but your pet’s comfort always comes first. If you prefer, I can crate your dog or keep Baltazar in a separate area to ensure a peaceful and stress free visit.
“Katie did an excellent job taking care of my baby Coati during her drop in visits. She made sure I received photos and updates. She is definitely an animal lover and it shows!”
“Brooke took such great care of our three pups while we were at our daughter’s wedding. She kept us updated throughout the day, and knowing all three were in good hands meant we could relax and enjoy the wedding. She really went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave our girls. We’d happily book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: Hi, I'm Kelsey! 🐾 If you're looking for someone who will love your pets like they're my own-you just found her. I've spent the last 10+ years caring for pets of family, friends, and neighbors, and it's truly something love. Your pup will feel right at home here! I have a large fenced yard for safe play and plenty of space inside to relax. Dogs are welcome to roam or be crated based on what they’re used to. We’re right by a pond and walking trail, so they’ll get lots of fresh air and exercise. I work three days a week, which gives me plenty of time on my off days to provide lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m big on keeping their routine as normal as possible—and yes, couch snuggles and plenty of picture updates are included 😊 I currently work 3 days a week so I am able to devote any range of attention and care that your animal needs. I know how stressful it can be traveling without your pets and I want to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your furry companion. If you’re looking for someone who will give you daily updates and photos and a person who will give your animals love and snuggles while you’re away, I’m your person! I keep things pretty simple and focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe. I follow whatever routine they’re used to at home—feeding times, potty breaks, crate time if needed, and their usual sleep setup.

I have raised both puppies and kittens from 6 weeks old. I have fostered and adopted. I would love the opportunity to take care of your beloved babies! I typically work Tuesday-Thursday but it is a week to week basis with days and times varying. Can house sit, board, drop in visits, or walk! I have a fenced yard. Currently have two inside cats that are allowed outside with supervision, as well as a 2 year old Labradoodle! On occasion, take care of a relative’s two dogs that stay for the weekend and are friendly with all the animals.
About: I will take care of your pet like my own! We will love on your pet & be treated with respect, love, care, and tenderness. I currently work from home and would have a lot of free time to play and take care of your pet. Plus my kids would love on them! I have a fenced back yard.

About: I currently work for a local animal hospital, I previously worked at an animal shelter, and I frequently volunteer with other local rescues! Also, I am attending college to become a registered veterinary technician! Altough I do currently work full time, but with lots of flexibility so I have plenty of availability to meet you and your pets needs! I have several years of experience working with animals of all different personalities. Whether your pet is shy or outgoing, I can adapt my approach to fit their needs!
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. We had big dogs most of the time but have also spent lots of time with small dogs. I am the person all of my friends and family always ask to care for their pets when they leave on vacation. Particularly because they know I will enjoy it but also because they know I will always take great care of their furry family members. I genuinely enjoy walking and caring for all dogs. I walk my dog after work most days so adding another to the pack is no problem for me. I have the capability to work from home if needed and will do what is preferred by any pet owner that trusts me with their furry family. As a pet owner I understand the importance of making sure your loved one is cared for appropriately. I have a fenced in yard and live close to plenty of traffic free trails. I take my dog on walks and runs on these trails sometimes, other we go to dog parks, and occasionally rest at home with plenty of back yard outings. I mention this because I have pet sat for some elderly dogs and they generally prefer short non-strenuous walks. If this is the preference I am more than willing to provide the care requested.
About: I have over ten years of pet care experience. Growing up I volunteered at animal shelters and owned dogs and cats. I love pet sitting and have watched many animals for people in my community. I’m a law student looking to pet sit in the early mornings or evenings Monday - Friday. Additionally, I have open availability on the weekends to work. When working with dogs I make sure to walk them and ensure that they get exercise and attention. When cat sitting I love entertaining the cats by playing with toys and giving them cuddles.
About: I have grown up having family pets my entire life and my grandparents bred dogs for a long time. I walk my dog at least once a day so I am well-versed on how to property walk a dog and help them maintain good walking habits. I have helped improve my dogs behavior since adopting him as a puppy and my dog has medical issues that require daily medication so I am comfortable giving animals medication when needed! I only work on select nights at a local restaurant so my hours are short and the other part of my daily routine is walking my dog which I do early in the morning, which leaves me lots of time to play with your animals! I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own! I love all animals and can provide them with the attention, love, affection and playtime that they need while you are away! I am committed to listening to your instructions on how to care for your animals and respecting your wishes. I will do everything within my ability to make sure your fur babies are happy and healthy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fair Oaks is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 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 712 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
