About: I’ve had animals all throughout my life and have taken care of neighbors pets while growing up. Have always loved animals and would love to one day have a small farm. Or at least 4 dogs! I currently have a 4 year old Corgi that enjoys hiking, playing ball and hanging out under the bed. I’m currently working from home, making check-ins during the day easy if close by. I’m also fully available after 4pm and weekends for check-ins of overnight stays. I have a fenced yard and chill dog that your pup(s) can hang out with. If at your house, respecting your rules in place is priority to me.
About: I have trained my doodle, after she came from a family with having no prior training. While also growing up with my 10 year old golden retrier. I am a college student and I have class everyday besies the weekend and thursday, I have classes in the morning but after 12 I am free. I have trained my 3 year old golden doodle named ruby and grew up with my 10 year old golden retriever named cooper who sheds a lot.
“Barbara was so great!! We booked her last minute but are glad we did! She was prompt and took our dog for a walk each visit! Sent us lots of photos each time she visited the house! Would book again!”

About: I grew up on a ranch with all kinds of animals, so I’ve taken care of every size from quail to horses. I started watching other people’s animals when I was 13, from feeding friends 4H projects to staying at a house with someone’s dog. I’m currently working part time, just graduated from Sacramento State, and am currently looking for a nursing program. I typically have evenings free and a couple hours in the morning depending on my schedule for the week. I’m very flexible and willing to work around or with anything! My work schedule does come out weekly so I cannot guarantee that I will be available at the same time every week and my shifts vary in length, anywhere from 4-8 hours. I don’t offer care in my own home currently as I live in an apartment. But I’m more than willing to watch them in your home to help them stay in their routine!
“Michelle is our go-to time and time again. Our rowdy thundering horde of dog craziness acts calm and polite around her! Michelle has an impeccable ability to calm the craziest of puppy energy.”

“Rachel did a great job in taking care of my cats. She is very dependable and always responds to messages in time. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”

“Joanna did great and watched over my pups exactly as expected. She went above and beyond w/ the walks and even gave my girl insulin like a pro. I would highly recommend her for dogs needing consistency w/ your handling perferences. She followed mine to the tee! She will be our first choice for the next time.”

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: As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. My household includes two small dogs and a friendly cat, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and care needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following special feeding instructions, supporting pets with sensitive diets, and reinforcing established routines. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply companionship, my goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking services for both dogs and cats. For boarding, I welcome small dogs (under 20lbs) to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for all pets in my home. Because I work from home, boarding pets receive frequent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. We also live near a park, providing a great setting for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My cat is exceptionally friendly and social, and my two dogs are accustomed to living peacefully with cats and respecting their space. I carefully supervise introductions and always prioritize the comfort and safety of every pet in my care. To provide the highest level of personalized attention, I accept only one client household at a time across all services. Whether your pet is staying in my home or receiving visits in yours, they will receive individualized care, close supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available for up to two drop-in visits per day, and pet parents can expect regular updates and photos for added peace of mind. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. Every pet is treated like family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home full time, caring for pets naturally fits into my day and is something I genuinely look forward to. I love starting the morning with a walk, taking midday breaks to check in and play, and ending the evening with a visit or stroll. Having this flexibility means I can give pets the attention and consistency they deserve while making sure they feel happy and loved throughout the day. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home by following their normal routines and keeping their environment clean and secure. I always check that doors and gates are locked, refresh food and water, scoop litter or let pups out as needed, and spend quality time giving attention, play, or cuddles based on what each pet enjoys most. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for while they’re away.

Rachel was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative throughout the stay, sent regular updates, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our fur babies comfort and routine. We came home to two happy kitties and a spotless space. We'd book with Rachel again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Amber was wonderful she was prompt on her check in times stayed a good amount of time with our Baxter. We are very happy to have found someone we can trust when needing someone to watch our dog when away. 100% recommend her to anyone looking to watch their pets.

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!

Michelle was an amazing cat sitter! She provided plenty of photos and detailed updates throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every visit that she genuinely loves and cares about cats, and she gave our cat lots of attention and affection. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We loved having Isabella watch our 2 cats while we were away!!! Her communication is great, she also came in in advance to us leaving to meet the cats and to see how to run their automatic litter boxes etc which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Am definitely booking her again! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Folsom on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,107 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Folsom. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Folsom stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Folsom. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 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.
