About: I’m an active, highly disciplined professional athlete with years of experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds and sizes. My background in elite athletics means I have the stamina for long, engaging walks, active exercise, and rigorous attention to routine and safety. Whether your pet needs high energy cardio or a calm, structured stroll around the neighborhood, I prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness every step of the way. I treat every pet with the same level of focus and care I bring to my daily training. As a full time athlete managing a flexible training schedule, I have structured availability for midday, early morning, and evening walks. Dog walking fits seamlessly into my active daily routine. I pride myself on prompt communication, strict punctuality, and flexibility to meet your schedule so you always have peace of mind while you're away or at work. Safety and accountability are my highest priorities. During walks or house visits, your dog will always be securely on leash, closely monitored, and kept safe from external hazards. I pay close attention to heat, hydration, and body language to ensure your pet stays comfortable throughout our time together. I follow all home entry instructions meticulously and provide regular photo updates after every walk so you know your pet is safe, secure, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs. My grandma also fostered dogs, so I was always surrounded by them growing up! I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, but I’ve also grown up taking care of our own dogs my whole life. people always tell me how much their dogs love me! I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online! I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday but can discuss morning or evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll always follow their normal routine, respect your home, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is in good hands!
About: I recently moved back here after having spent the last 5 years in Los Angeles. I was emotionally & mentally exhausted from working a 9-5 within such a large city. I missed my animals, the sound of nature & the outdoors. I would love to care for your pets as they enrich my life so much, and I would love to enrich theirs! A LITTLE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE: Animals have been apart of my life since I could remember: I grew up on a farm! 9 acres of land, filled with horses, chickens, cats, dogs, rats & a free roaming tortoise! The main animal I was surrounded by was cats. We had anywhere from 6-13 at a time! This was mainly due to the litter of kittens my mom, sister & I would foster for months at a time. Our primary focus was bottle baby kittens. I always say, I am a dog mom, but a cat person! Both are extremely near and dear to my heart. I’m also very athletic, so if you have a high energy dog, I don’t mind taking them for a run, dog park, hike etc. MY PETS: My dog’s name is Saint & he is my entire world. I adopted him from a rescue in Riverside, CA only a year and a half ago. He was an aggressive, scared dog who needed constant love and patience to gain his trust. Now, he is an energetic, loving, hilarious boy! Our favorite activities were hikes & playing fetch. Fun fact: he looks identical to 🐕 Saint has taught me how to care for temperamental dogs through positive reassurance as well as the importance of a dynamic, safe environment. MY SPECIALTIES: Senior dogs Energetic dogs Bottle baby kittens Senior cats Medication Live in Sacramento, work in Folsom. Weekends are open to sitting anywhere from Sac up to Placerville and beyond! Weekdays are reserved for early morning walks, late night check-ins around the area OR for those who need mid-day pet care based in Folsom! I am dynamic all around!! I live in an apartment that is open with high ceilings. I have no pets (Saint lives with my parents), smoke & child free as well! More than happy to snuggle & allow pets on furniture. I live in a safe neighbor with a lot of great space to walk.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I genuinely love animals! I've spent the past 5 years caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, including shy, energetic, anxious, and reactive pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just having someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they need! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I'm big on communication and will gladly send pictures and updates throughout our time together so you know your furry family member is doing well. I'm also comfortable with house sitting, following detailed instructions, and respecting your home and your pet's normal routine. I don't mind cameras in shared spaces, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐶🐱🧡 I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! 🐾 I do have a full-time job, but I have flexibility with my schedule and can make adjustments ahead of confirmed bookings. I primarily offer house sitting and dog walking. For overnight stays, I'm happy to stay in a guest room if one is available! Since I live in Orangevale, I'm also open to arranging visits throughout the day and returning to my own home at night, depending on your pet's needs. I'm always happy to talk through expectations and schedules before confirming a booking to make sure we're a great fit! I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! 🐾 For dogs, a typical day might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of attention and cuddles. If they're comfortable in public spaces and their owner approves, I'm happy to take them to a nearby park for some extra outdoor time! For cats, I love interactive playtime with their favorite toys, giving them pets when they're in the mood, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. I always adjust activities based on each pet's energy level, personality, and routine. Whether they're full of energy or prefer a relaxing day, I'm happy to match their vibe!
About: I have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and needs! I am comfortable with caring for animals needing extra attention, elder pets, administering medication if needed, and making it my standard to treat your pet like my own! I myself have two kitties and a dog, so I know how important it is that they are around people with relaxing and good energy, which I can provide! A fun fact about me is that I am an Air Force veteran, so I am responsible and reliable!! I am currently a full-time student at Sacramento State, so I am at school from 9-10:15am Monday through Thursday starting this fall, which allows me to be available for your pet before and after class! I also work part-time from home on Mondays and Wednesdays and Fridays :) When I pet sit, I make sure that I leave the space I am pet sitting in just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. I respect the environments I am welcomed into and show my gratitude for any opportunity to fill a space by treating it as my own!
“Ayla did a great job caring for our cat, Ozzy. She was reliable and flexible. Ozzy, who is normally shy, came out for each visit. We will definitely be using Ayla’s services in the future!”
“Betty our cat just loved Sam right when she met her the first time! She took really good care of her and I am picky so appreciated her being flexible. I would highly recommend Sam for care of your pet.”
“It was great to work with Dale again- she’s communicative and quick to respond. In addition to taking care of my cats she helped water a few plants and take out the trash bins as requested l, which was a huge help. Thanks, Dale!”
“Malarie always is on time and spends the whole 30 minutes with Betty. I am picky about care and Malarie is so kind and patient with us and Betty She is very appreciated and always does a good job.”
About: I’m Lauren—Keeper of Cats, Walker of Dogs, with 25 years of experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. My approach is quiet, steady, and respectful of each pet’s natural rhythm. Cats are my specialty. I’m comfortable with shy, senior, independent, or affectionate cats, and I follow their lead. I’ve handled medication, special diets, and slow‑paced routines with care. For dogs, I focus on gentle, unhurried walks and calm companionship while still providing full dog care—walks, feeding, playtime, and routine support. I’m a great fit for friendly, easygoing dogs who enjoy steady energy and consistent routines. Services include: • Cat visits, meds, litter care • Dog walks & drop‑ins • Overnights for cats or mellow dogs • Fish feeding • Thoughtful updates + photos If your pets prefer a peaceful presence and steady hands, I’d love to care for them. I work full‑time from home in an emotionally heavy line of work, and caring for animals is the bright, grounding rhythm that keeps me balanced. Stepping away to spend time with your pets—whether it’s a quiet cat visit or a peaceful walk—adds light and calm to my week, and I’m grateful for it. I care for pets by keeping their world steady. In your home, I follow your routines—feeding, litter care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I move at your pet’s pace, whether that means quiet company or active engagement, all while keeping your space tidy and your pets grounded and comfortable.
“We adopted our 8-month-old kitties when they were 4 months old. They haven't been around other humans much other than us so I was concerned that they would be fearful of a cat sitter. Johnna was an excellent choice for us and them. She sent playful pictures and good notes. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands with her. I am so grateful.”
“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Riley came to meet us before we left on vacation, which was reassuring. It was nice to know we were in good hands! Riley always spent time with our cat, Lexi, even when Lexi was not being the best company! Riley is dependable and was great with Lexi!”
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
About: I have over 3 years of experience dog sitting for more than 8 regular clients. I am highly flexible, reliable, and open to accommodating your schedule. I am also comfortable administering oral medications (pills) if your pet requires them. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their dogs, and I treat every pet like my own! I am a full-time pet sitter and an online college student, which means my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! Because I study from home, I am around almost all day to provide constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of potty breaks and playtime for your pets. I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, giving me a lifetime of hands-on experience. I personally own two large Mastiff breeds—a Cane Corso and a Boerboel—as well as a cat, all of whom I’ve successfully raised and cared for over the last 4 to 7 years. My home features a secure, fenced yard where your pet can safely play. Because I am highly experienced with both powerful, large dog breeds and smaller feline companions, I know exactly how to maintain a safe, balanced, and harmonious environment for all types of pets!
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Folsom
We have now worked with Lacee on 5 different drop-in bookings and we trust her implicitly with amazing care and love for our pets. We have a high-need senior diabetic cat with changing care needs each visit, but Lacee ensures she has thorough detail on what is needed to maximize care. She is extremely patient, and has waited through our one cat sometimes being shy and stubborn to ensure he gets the oral and injectable medication he needs. Our one cat that doesn't appear for many people has added Lacee to his circle of trust, credited to her tremendous compassion and are. You would be very lucky to have Lacee help care for your pets.
I would hire Betty again! My cat tends to be shy with strangers and hides. I was worried she’d spend the whole time I was gone hiding in the closet. But Betty was patient with her and her kind energy won my cat over. She eventually let Betty pet her and play with her. I got pictures and updates every visit. It meant so much that I could go on a trip and not worry about my cat.
Auva was absolutely wonderful; she was open with circumstances, provided ample pictures of my cat, and, over the course of the catsit, managed to coax said cat into her lap, which he has done only for two other people, myself included. I came back to him physically content but annoyed that either I had been away or that Auva was now gone. I hope for my sake that it is the former. Send her your cats. (Send her to your cats?)
From the moment we met Debbie we knew our pets would be well taken care of while we were away. We have a senior dog and senior cat who both need medication. Debbie was comfortable with both pills and injections. She communicated regularly and sent photos of our pets. Debbie asked questions when something came up (example: our dog didn’t eat one day.) having Debbie take care of our pets was the next best thing to being home with them. I would recommend Debbie to everyone and will reach out to her again if we need a pet sitter. Thank you, Debbie!

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
