“Kimberly was accommodating, attentive, and communicative. She sent regular updates with photos. I felt confident that she was properly caring for my pets the whole time. 10/10 would recommend.”

Great communication throughout sitting, sent daily updates and pictures! She took great care of my dog and treated my home with respect.”
About: Hi! I love animals and love meeting new animal friends! I am very detail oriented and love to spend time with animals whether that through training or simply just cuddling. I have taken care of all types of animals my whole life and I am honored to care for someone else’s fur baby! I have a flexible schedule as a stay at home mom and am able to offer care services from overnight stays to grooming and basic training. I hope to be your top choice for your pets care! I am currently a stay at home mom and I can offer 24/7 services!

I am able to carry animals as needed and I also have an SUV that can be used in cases of emergency. I am up early mornings and can adjust to your fur babies schedule as needed. I have a fenced in dog kennel that was built for my own dogs which has 1 access point to make sure there are no accidental breakouts. I have a rather large home that offers multiple places to house your pet because I know everyone has a different situation so we are very adaptable. I am able to follow a routine and instructions left by my clients in the event I am needed at their home address.

“Maddy was an amazing house sitter for our boy Oliver. We cannnot recommend her enough. She was clean and kept us updated on Oliver while we were away. She will be our go too from now on!”

“We’re so grateful for the amazing care you gave Otis this week while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for all the updates, attention, and love you showed him it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate your reliability, kindness, and care for Otis like he was your own. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages at a shelter, I’m good with all ages and work with the dogs at their comfort versus having them conform to what I want them to do. I’ve administered medication to dogs both older and younger and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make you feel at ease about your dog being left with me. I am currently in school from 830-3 I can provide care from 330 and beyond depending on what you need. Weekends I am home all day and if your dog enjoys it I can take them hiking to the park ext. As I do live in an apartment that isn’t fenced in I can’t let them run around In a yard, but I have plenty of space to walk dogs or run with them if they like as I am very active. If I am in your home I will make sure your dog feels as safe as possible with me being there as well as providing you comfort.
About: I can be your dog’s personal nanny and hiking buddy!! I have a mini Goldendoodle named Ava, and she loves when we go on walks, play fetch and hide and seek!! She is the daughter I’ve never had, being I am a mom to 3 boys, and I spoil her TONS and would love to share my time with your fur babies as well. I’m a stay at home mom, and looking to help out any parents who need some extra care and love for your doggies as well!! I will care for your pets as I do my own and I’m committed to creating a safe, positive and fun experience :) As stated above, I am a stay at home mom and have the time and patience to help anyone out with your fur babies as well :) My schedule is very open and I can easily accommodate many requests as needed. I also live on a farm and can take your dog for walks around our fields, if that is something you would also want. I have no problem coming to your house to take your dog on walks, provide bathroom breaks and even a friendly game of catch, whatever their heart desires! I also have a very friendly dog, named Ava, that can keep your dog company if watching them at my house was a preference as well. We live on a farm and have tons of land to keep them busy. We also have a dog crate, if needed, and plenty of cute toys!
“Sarah did a great job with my cat on an overnight 6/7 - 6/8. Everything was left as it should have been and my little girl was in good spirits when I arrived back. I will not hesitate to contact Sarah the next time I need a pet sitter. She is very easy to work with.”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my whole life and even trained the most recent one that we’ve had in my home. I love dogs, cats, or any animal! Currently I can take care of your pets any day besides on Sundays since I can be very busy that day, though I might be able to stop by a few days throughout the day When I’m taking care of your furry friend I’ll take them for walks, play with them, and if they’re a puppy I can even help train them if you’d like!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Folsom
Kimberly was wonderful! She watched our 3 year old (Very Energenic!) Yellow Labrador Retriever and both of our Cats, (one whom needs daily medication), and Kimberly did a fantastic job House Sitting/Pet Sitting while we were on Vacation! Having her care for our Fur Babies allowed us to not worry, and enjoy our time away. We highly recommend her! :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Folsom
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,707 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.
