About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student looking for a part-time position that fits around my class schedule. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to balance school, work, and pet-care responsibilities. I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my school and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences to ensure I provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

About: I have plenty of experience with various types of pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits, parrots, and fish. You name it and I can do it 😉 I also have experience administering medications to any of those fur babies above, as long as there is a walk through and I can see how the animal behaves when it is done so I know how to handle the situation. I am enrolled in college which means my schedule changes my semester. It is easiest that I am in home pet sitting if your babies require more attention. If not I am able to drop in mornings, evenings, and some afternoons depending on the circumstances. I am able to feed, water, and clean up after them on a daily basis and work around schedules if there are some issues. If in home care is what you want, I will be in a decent amount because of school and family, but if talked to early enough, we can arrange something to be more consistent 😊 As of right now I own 1 cat, 1 sun conure, 2 holland lops, and a doberman, and many more family pets as well. So I am very comfortable being around animals, but because I have so many in my own home, I am not able to offer in home care at my house, but more than open to in any clients home. Throughout my whole life, I have been surrounded by many types of animals and grew up learning how to take care of them. From cats to dogs, to parrots, bunnies, and family friends chickens, reptiles (no spiders please 😬) I am more than open to learning even more if needed! Schedules feedings and potty breaks, play time, cuddles, all available ☺️

Village 11, Sacramento, CA, 95835

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my own family dogs and being responsible for feeding them, letting them out, playing with them, and making sure they were taken care of while I was home. As I got older, I started pet sitting for friends and family and eventually for people I didn’t know personally as well. I’ve also helped my friend Jade with her pet-sitting clients and have watched pets for a previous manager. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I typically work morning shifts and am usually done with work by 12pm at the latest, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. My schedule can vary week to week, but I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love.

About: It is very difficult for me to have animals in my current situation so I am looking forward to this work as an opportunity to make friends with animals that I would not get to experience normally. I am really looking forward to it. Thank you. I am retired and partially disabled so I don’t have a work routine and so I’m available seven days a week. This will be fun! I am very respectful of other people spaces and I’m happy to offer full cleanup services for any accidents or other things that might happen while I’m there.

I provide individualized care based on your pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I’m especially patient with shy, timid, or cautious rescue pups and love earning their trust at their own pace.

You can count on me to keep your home clean, tidy, and secure, respect your belongings and privacy, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner. .My specialties include expert belly rubs, enthusiastic walks, championship treat-giving (with permission!), and a Ph.D. in sweet animal baby talk. 🐶🐱💕 And kitties are welcome, too!

I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates because I know how much it means to see your fur baby happy while you’re away. As for your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Nicolaus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,774 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Nicolaus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nicolaus. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
