About: I grew up with animals on a farm and have always had a dog or cat in my home. We love our pets and treat them as family. I am home most of the day so providing one on one are won’t be a problem! I have a very flexible schedule! I am home everyday of the week and can make frequent trips if needed. I offer same day cancellation but do need a couple days notice to make sure I am not out of town. My dog is walked twice a day everyday and we have a fenced backyard. We also have cats that have free time of the house and outside and are very friendly with our dog. Our dog has a bed in just about every room and is allowed to get on one of our couches (however often tries sneaking onto the other one).
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my calm, reliable approach to pet care. I grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals, and spent 7 years riding horses competitively, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and consistent care routines. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, and walking dogs for friends and family. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences. I also bring a professional, dependable approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, reliability, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I work a hybrid role with a mix of remote and on-site work, and my schedule varies throughout the week. This flexibility allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits depending on your pet’s needs. On days I work remotely, I’m able to provide more frequent check-ins, walks, and companionship. When I’m on-site, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets are still cared for consistently and on time. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I’m committed to building a dependable routine that works for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I take time to understand each pet’s schedule, feeding routine, walking preferences, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and reduce stress. Safety is always a top priority. I make sure pets are securely leashed during walks, keep doors and gates closed, and remain mindful of each pet’s behavior and comfort level. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. I respect your home as if it were my own. I keep spaces clean and tidy, follow any household guidelines, and ensure your home remains secure while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Ella did a fantastic job with pet sitting for our cat Patch this past weekend. My husband and I went away to celebrate his birthday and were so lucky to have someone as wonderful as Ella to take care of our baby while we were gone. She was on time everyday (even early!!) fed him, did his litter, played with him, and sent us pictures every visit also! She also is very quick with answering messages which is a huge plus. Patch is usually very shy and timid with new people but with Ella he was so outgoing and seemed very comfortable with her, that made us so happy to see. Ella would get more than 5 stars if we could, she is the perfect person to trust your pets with, we definitely will be rebooking with her in the future!! Thank you so much Ella, you are the best!”

“Rachel has been our go-to dog walker when my husband and I work long 12 hour shifts. She is always on time, takes lots of pictures, and goes out of her way to make my pups feel safe & loved. We love Rachel!”

“I cannot say enough good things about my dog walker. He takes amazing care of my two big dogs — my little beasts — and handles them with confidence, calmness, and kindness. They absolutely adore him. He’s reliable, patient, and clearly experienced. I feel completely comfortable trusting him with my dogs, which is huge for me. Every walk is consistent, safe, and positive. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pets and treats them like his own, he’s the one. Highly recommend!”

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.
“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.”

“Michelle is an absolute godsend. My dogs are big, young, loving, and energetic. Basically, they are a lot. Michelle is beyond patient and compassionate with them. we are blessed to have her.”

“Alexandrea dropped in on our 2 big black labs for 3 days while we were traveling. She was always on time and very responsive. I had to add another drop in at the last minute and she was able to help us! I'm very grateful for her hard work and would be happy to use her again.”


“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!”

“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!”

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! :)

Sarah came by for a meet and greet and did an excellent job connecting with our special needs dog despite the interference of our two typical (and very jealous) dogs. She didn't hesitate at all to get down onto their level (the floor) and win them all over. Looking forward to having her back for some walks and having her do some dog sitting for us!

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 June 2026, there are 3,966 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
