“Cayla did so great with my senior dog and also 9 week old puppy. She even helped with potty training! She left my house spotless after leaving and continued to give me updates and send photos while she was dog sitting. I will definitely hire her again and I recommend that you all do too!”
“Lacee was everything we were looking for in a house sitter and a dog sitter. She is reliable, responsible, and a proactive communicator. She took great care of our 3 active dogs and kept us informed. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
About: Student with 6 years of pet care experience and two cats, including a 16-year-old senior cat. Comfortable administering medications and providing loving, reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 I am working part time now, with a lot of availability in the morning and evenings along with the weekends. I do help out some other with yard maintenance I have a fully fenced backyard, for my cats but does it really keep them in? Nope, it doesn’t. I also give my long haired cat a bath every 2 weeks.
About: I genuinely love being around dogs and have been trusted by friends and family to care for their pets many times over the years. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Caring for pets has been part of my life through helping friends and family with their dogs over the years. With graduation coming up and a flexible summer schedule, I'm excited to spend more time doing something I really enjoy. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment. I follow the owner's instructions carefully, making sure their pet receives plenty of attention and care, whether they re staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own home.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Maddison was incredibly responsive and respectful of my home. She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell my pup was happy and well looked after. On top of that, she was super kind. Highly recommend!”
“Brandie is absolutely incredible. We have two cats and a little dog, all boys. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and struggles with new people. Within the first few hours he warmed right up to Brandie. All three boys looked so content and happy all week. Brandie was very communicative and always responded immediately. She did everything we requested and more. Went above and beyond in taking care of the house and our boys. We are so grateful to Brandie and cannot recommend her enough. She will absolutely be sitting for us again. We cannot wait to have her back and neither can Neil, Migi, & Buster! ❤️”

About: I've dog walked for my neighbors since I was a kid, walked and cared for my roommates dogs. I used to take care of seniors and special needs individuals along with the pets they owned too! I can provide a calm nurturing environment, dually also an enriching fun one depending on the pets mood and personality. I'm a cat magnet and own a semi-adventure kitty. I have a calm vibe and the lil fuzzy dudes seem to appreciate it. Available for house sits anytime with a proper notice. Available for scheduled walks/sit or if my time is free a last minute walks/sit I take my shoes off when I enter your house. I don't put my feet up on the table. Your pet is my pet. Accidents have never made me upset, it happens especially with more fragile or elderly pets. Material and emotional respect is simply in my DNA.

Meredith was great. She was very caring and expert at taking care of our dog - Abby. She connected with us and provided updates and pictures, which we appreciated. She is a wonderful, kind and outstanding person to care for our dog or any dog, and our home as well.
Mira was absolutely amazing for our dogs this weekend. Her level of professionalism and standard she holds herself to is very high. She had a great line of communication with us and continued to keep us in the loop daily about how our animals were doing. We will 100% be looking forward to having her dog sit for us again in the future.
We had a wonderful experience with Mayah taking care of our dog Bumblebee! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about our sweet pup. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bumblebee was in good hands while we were out for the evening. She kept us updated, followed all instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily book with her again!
She took such great care of our pups! We have one old lab who is pretty blind and deaf and moving slower, Sarah was very patient and sweet with her which we appreciate so much! She also braved the chilly weather to get our younger one out for exercise! We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Folsom on Rover is $62.84 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,817 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Folsom. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Folsom walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Folsom maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Folsom choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
