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!

“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!!”

“Barbara is a nice responsible person who took such good care or our cat. I really think they both liked each other a lot after just the first meeting. And Barbara was fantastic in her Communication with us. Really could not ask for more. Thank you Barbara!.”

I do not offer pet sitting in my home unless it is a small dog. I prefer to housesit and care for pets in their own environment. I love to walk and hike and I love to take dogs with me.

About: Hi! I have always loved animals, growing up with many cats, dogs, chickens, fish, birds, etc. Right now I have a cat, Luna, who we love dearly! We are not quite ready to fully pause travel and commit full time to a dog at home, so I am looking forward to enjoying some dog time via Rover! I am available all day on weekends, and after 5pm on week days. My Sat/Sun availability will vary based on my schedule, but I would love to take walks on my open weekends! I plan to ask pet preferences and communicate with the owner prior to our first walk. I am in tune with what a dog’s mood and what they may be communicating during our walk. I hope they enjoy the walk and my company during our time together.
About: I have experience in all breeds and sizes. I’m especially familiar with larger pushy breeds, I’m very patient. I have confidence around untrained and trained. I’m firm but gentle. I love dogs and spend my days off doing doggy days out. I currently work on a barn with many animals, they all need care but I have time to come and take care of your pet. I do not have set hours so I can come at anytime. I feed, train, walk animals in my home. I would treat your pets as my own, important and one In a million. I’m open to all styles of care, how ever you instruct me.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I was raised around animals and currently have two cats of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I also worked at a veterinary clinic for three years while I was in college, where I gained experience caring for all kinds of pets and learned how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, a meal, or just some company while you’re away, I’d love to help! I’ll treat your pets like my own, keep their routine as normal as possible, and send you plenty of updates and pictures so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work full time Monday-Friday, but I can be available Friday nights all throughout the weekend, great if you need someone while you take a weekend to get away! I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll also make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away, with updates and photos along the way!
About: Looking for responsible and enthusiastic dog care? You’ve come to the right place! although I have only been on the Rover app for about a few years, I have many years of experience in pet care. I have had dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for all animals. I have been trusted to dog and house sit for friends and family and find so much fulfillment taking care and playing with fur babies! (Of all ages of course!) I have experience with both small and large dogs and don’t mind jumping dogs either! I have always taken both my dogs growing up on walks and still do when I go visit my parents! I am very active so walking and playing with a hyper dog isn’t a problem for me! My childhood miniature poodle is now 14, so I understand the fragility of dogs that are getting on the older side as well. I have such love for all animals and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Please contact me for more information or any questions. Thank you! I currently am a 25 year old grad student at Sacramento state university, and I am in the teaching credential program! My school schedule varies, but I always have days during the week where I’m home most of the day and would love to spend that time pet walking/pet sitting. I am a very good listener and understand that everyone has different needs for their pets. I follow instructions to how YOU would like me to care for your animal and I always do so with the upmost love and respect for your animal and your home. Doors will always be double checked to make sure they are closed and locked. Dogs will get taken out for potty breaks often. Animals will receive lots of attention and play time.
About: We always had dogs in my family. Growing up our Dog was a family member in fact definitely mom‘s favourite child! My wife and I have been married almost 40 years and dogs have been our children. We both love dogs and having recently lost our own girl of 14 years so we have a lot of love to give I understand what it takes to intrust your beloved pet to someone, I would treat any pet in my care like it was my own child!! With lots and lots of love there’s a huge park we could walk to right down the street from our house which is private in our village we love taking our puppies down there to socialise and or just walk. There’s also 2 miles worth of walking trails in our community. Well first off we give them lots and lots of love!! We’ve always had dogs that are allowed on the furniture and sleep on our bed however we will follow the directions of its owner. We like to take them for walks and play with them and keep them mentally active as well as physically. We would always walk them on a leash and take great care when they are around any other kind of animals or people. Basically, we would treat them with the greatest care like we would our own child! And of course give them lots and lots of love.

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
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, growing up we had 5 cats and 3 dogs! I currently own just my kitty at the moment and have the extra time to care for your pets! Whatever your needs are I can get them taken care of! With love and care :p Working from home gives me the ability to tend to most day to day needs most families don’t have the time for! Getting out of the house is something I do daily for exercise! So dog walking/pet visits work perfectly for my schedule. With the same care I’d give my animals. With respect and love. Being good with children also correlates very well with caring for animals. Most important factor in my opinion, is being protective. I will make sure your animals are always 100% safe with me. I can lift up to 200lbs, so in the case of a bigger dog, that won’t be a problem.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up caring for dogs, including my own, where I’ve helped with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their routines. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. As a college soccer player, I’m active, responsible, and dependable. I enjoy spending time outdoors and would love to help your pets get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’ll treat every pet like my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and can build their needs into my schedule. I’m active and responsible, so I’m comfortable providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I prioritize communication with owners and make sure their pets receive the attention and routine they’re used to. I have three dogs and love to keep them active and playful. I love taking them on evening walks. Their names are Bubba, Vinny, and Dodger!
About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Throughout the years, I have always naturally bonded with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dedicated much of my life to caring for pets, starting from the time I was young when family and neighbors relied on me for daily feeding, walking, and playtime. Whether your dog needs gentle senior companionship, patient routine maintenance, or a fun play session, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved while you are away. My partner and I work together to maintain a highly flexible routine, ensuring your pets always receive plenty of attention. Between the two of us, we are readily available throughout weekdays and weekends for reliable check-ins, timely feedings, and continuous companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. As a team, my partner and I provide attentive, gentle supervision while strictly following all of your house and care instructions. Having two dedicated caregivers means your pet gets extra care, secure monitoring, and regular photo updates.
“Rachel was amazing! I had a very short notice trip and she made it so easy! My dogs loved her. Even my husky that’s afraid of everyone. The husky trusted her and Rachel made all of the dogs feel at home. Really happy I came across Rachel and will definitely book her again if possible!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. I have taken care of family members dogs, newborn pups, potty trained, taken care of senior dogs who need assistance with getting on and off the couch or give them their meds. I have previously dogsat/housesat for about 2 1/2 weeks. I work from home so I am able to relocate where needed. I have time early mornings or afternoon/evenings. I am available weekends and holidays. I make sure dogs are taking naps when needed, so if they are crate trained I make sure after play time or walking they get naps. In my home and clients home we follow a schedule for feeding and potty breaks. Usually enjoy going for walks during lunch time and evenings. During weekends tend to go to the park or for longer walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Folsom
We have now worked with Lacee on 5 different drop-in bookings and we trust her implicitly with amazing care and love for our pets. We have a high-need senior diabetic cat with changing care needs each visit, but Lacee ensures she has thorough detail on what is needed to maximize care. She is extremely patient, and has waited through our one cat sometimes being shy and stubborn to ensure he gets the oral and injectable medication he needs. Our one cat that doesn't appear for many people has added Lacee to his circle of trust, credited to her tremendous compassion and are. You would be very lucky to have Lacee help care for your pets.

Amber was great with the boys, sometimes when drop-in visitors left, the boys whined because they didn’t get enough interaction or attention. The boys remained calm after she left, so I know she loved on them as if they were her own, played with them, gave them puzzles, meds, etc. Amber is great! Would absolutely recommend her.

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 of Pet Sitting in Folsom is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,043 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Folsom. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
