About: I can only provide an excellent service, I know no other way. I've dog walked for my neighbors since I was a kid/teen. Walked, cared, trained for my roommates, friends, and multiple families 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 walks before dawn, or after dusk for heat sensitive dogs. If I'm housesitting I will be with your pets 24/7 and they have my full attention. Patience, love, and attention to body language. 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.
“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.”

“Rachel took excellent care of my sweet older cat Walter. She came by before my vacation to meet Walter to get in person instructions, which was very considerate. Walter looked happy and well taken care of in the pictures Rachel sent every day. I highly recommend Rachel!”
“Lacee was excellent with our 4 chickens while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She came by every day to make sure their needs were met. I really appreciated how she followed our detailed instructions and checklists. She was very thorough in her care with them and made sure they were given their frozen treats and water during the hot summer days in her care. We hope to book Lacee in the future for another chicken care event! 🐤😊”

“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.”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible! I was nervous because our dog does not usually like strangers, but Felicia's countenance and love of animals won our Pyraness over instantly. I am so very grateful to have found Felicia. She went above and beyond....she even came over at the last minute for a meet and greet as it was a last minute booking. Highly, highly recommend!!”

Anastassia is amazing!! She is very communicative, she set up a meet and great immediately and she is a natural with animals, knowing immediately how to work with the quirks and behaviors of our dog. She took our dog for a walk and was proactive about her needs including thinking to bring a water bowl. Our baby was nice and tired when I got home from work, I could tell she loved her new friend. Will definitely use Anastassia again!!
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?)
Deborah has been my senior doggo drop in helper - twice a week for my 15 y.o. Red Heeler mix. She’s simply a natural with dogs and I trust her observations and her accountability during drop in visits. Great communication, dependable and always willing to help!
Michael is my go to pet sitter for Stella when I am traveling. I have used Michael 3 times now and will continue to request his services for Stella in the future. Michael always finds a way to accommodate my needs and schedule for Stella while I am away (even when I book last minute, sorry about that Michael). Michael is a friendly person who is responsible and caring with the pets and their homes he is tasked with! Thanks again Michael.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Folsom on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,006 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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
