“Alyssa was fantastic! Ruffles can be a little weird with new people but was fine and comfortable with Alyssa quickly. She kept me update during Ruffles’ stay and was very friendly and flexible from the first contact. Ruffles seemed to have a great time! I am elated to find a reliable sitter for future needs.”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“We are so grateful to have found Derek and Leslie! We had never boarded any of our dogs before and it was a really positive experience. Our new rescue, Ludo, is nervous and we were heartbroken to have to leave him for a few days, but felt confident with leaving him in their experienced hands. Ludo loves their kids and was calm and relaxed in their care, as evidenced by the photos they shared.”
“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”
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!
“Paige and her family were the most amazing doggie sitters. She kept us up to date about Tucker while we were out of town and would promptly reply when we reached out to her. It was so reassuring knowing that he was in good hands while we were in Hawaii. I highly recommend booking Paige for a 5 star Rover.com experience.”
“Amber watched my dog Squid for two nights. Squid has bad separation anxiety and struggles being away from home. Amber was fantastic and our dog seemed to love staying at her place. We’ll definitely be booking again.”
“I’m glad I found Nadya to take care of my dog. She kept me informed of how he was doing and bunch of cute pics and videos. I loved that he got to go on lots of walks and play time. sweet pet sitter 👌”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“Chino loved loved loved his visit with Cecily! The puppy oasis/park and activities available here make it like a resort away from home. Communication and photos were consistent and I felt At ease while away from my baby. We will100% be back again 10/10”
“My doggos were taken such great care of during their stay! Highly recommended and will absolutely ask Patti and her husband to take care of my dogs again in the future.”
“Thank you so much Maisy for taking care of our pup over the weekend! We knew he was in excellent hands and reassured that he was receiving so much love from your family. We will definitely contact you for future bookings!!”
“Once again Pranavi did a great job watching and caring for our two little guys. We appreciate the daily pics and video that she sent. We will definitely keep using her to care for a boys.”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m 23 years old and have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I graduated high school in 2021 and spent three years attending Folsom Lake College. My journey with pet sitting started when I was just 11, and since then I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and even every kind of farm animal you can think of! Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. My aunt bred German Shepherds for 30 years, and growing up around them (and being part of their training) gave me a deep appreciation for the breed and for dogs in general. While I’ve always had a soft spot for big dogs, small dogs have completely won me over too. I’ve cared for pups of all sizes and ages, from helping deliver newborn litters to supporting senior dogs well into their golden years.I also have experience with cats and kittens. Even though I’m allergic and can’t have one of my own, I absolutely adore them and love any chance I get to care for them. At home, I have a 12-year-old Jardine parrot named Wasabi, who is my little best friend, and a 4-year-old Russian tortoise named Yuno, who definitely keeps things interesting with her spunky personality. Outside of pet care, I work full-time as a police dispatcher in Sacramento County, primarily on weekday nights. Because of that, I’m most available on weekends, but I’m happy to offer weekday morning or afternoon drop-ins when needed. In my free time, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, yoga, pilates, going to the gym, attending church on Sundays, and spending time with family and friends. I’m also recently engaged to my high school sweetheart, and we’re so excited to be saving for our future together. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love, and I would be honored to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets, whether that’s through walks, drop-ins, or sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full time as a police dispatcher on weekday nights, so my schedule is a bit unique. I’m usually sleeping during the day on weekdays, but I can absolutely be available in the mornings or afternoons with enough notice. Weekends are when I’m most available, which allows me to dedicate more time to longer visits, multiple walks, or extended care. Caring for my own pets is already a big part of my daily life, so pet sitting feels like a natural extension of what I love to do. I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, enrichment, and making sure each animal gets the attention and care they need. Because of my work schedule, I’m very consistent, organized, and dependable. I’m intentional about not overbooking, so every pet I care for gets my full attention, patience, and genuine care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space, so I take the time to learn their usual schedule, feeding habits, exercise needs, and any special instructions. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship through walks, playtime, and calm interaction. For cats, I follow their lead, whether that means engaging in play or simply offering a quiet, reassuring presence. I’m especially mindful with senior pets, making sure they move comfortably, stay on their routines, and receive any extra care they may need. I always keep a clean and respectful environment by refreshing water, tidying feeding areas, and making sure litter boxes or outdoor spaces are well maintained. I’m also attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly if anything seems off. Above all, I treat every home with respect and every pet with genuine care and patience, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away
“Fabulous boarder, Penelope had the time of her life. So much love and attention, walks, lake visits and a new golden retriever friend named Willow. Highly recommend Lisa for your baby needs.”
“Sohui was great! I had peace of mind that my four legged baby was well taken care of while I was away. I especially loved receiving photo updates every day! I will be using Rover again to book Sohui next time I travel.”

5 Stars all around! Deborah was AMAZING. She was great with my Doodle (Louie). Kept him engaged, playing…. Excellent communication. She sent pics each day showing Louie in action! What he was doing. I can’t say enough of the peace of mind I had while Louie was in Deborah’s care. Truly appreciate her!
Marie took care of my two miniature schnauzers and my large labradoodle overnight at her home. We did a meet a greet with her dog beforehand and all the dogs got along great. I was sent updates with pictures throughout the day. Both days the heat was 100 degrees, so the dogs got to stay in the house with Marie for much of the day which was a great relief to me. I will definitely use Marie again for my three dogs.
Troy was very nice, excellent communicator before and during the stay with plenty of updates, kept Floppy active and followed our directions for interacting with other dogs. we appreciate his flexibility on drop off and pickup times as we got a bit delayed with trave. Thank you, Troy!
Kandra service was excellent!!! She is a kind caring person who my boy instantly liked. The property was clean with large yards for big dogs. She kept me informed on how he was doing with pictures. Capone bonded with her family as her children also helped care for him while playing ball. Capone is a 110lb pitbull mastiff bread. Hes a rescue, who rescued me. He’s a very big dog and was well taken care of. Kandra cared for him as if he were her own and that means the world to me.
We had a wonderful experience with Zhuoqi and Chih taking care of our dog Tony. This was our first time leaving him with them, and we were initially a bit nervous since Tony is very dear to us — but from the moment we met them, they were kind, attentive, and clearly cared about making him feel comfortable. During our trip, they kept us updated every day with messages and photos, and they were always very responsive whenever we checked in. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Tony was in such good hands. When we came back, Tony was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that they treated him with a lot of love and attention. We truly appreciate the care and responsibility they showed, and we would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!
We could not have had a better experience! I knew when I met Sarah at our meet and greet that our Frenchie would be in great hands with her but she exceeded our expectations. She provided daily updates, took Benny on daily walks, gave him lots of cuddles and treated him as he were her own. He was so sad to leave her. We are so thankful for Sarah!
Walle has truly found another caring family with Fatima and Josh. We feel completely at ease leaving him with them whenever we travel and can’t take him along. Thank you, Fatima and Josh, for the love and care you give Walle—he’s also lucky to have such great company in Belle.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Folsom can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Folsom home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Folsom.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Folsom. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
You and your Folsom sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
