“Carrington is a wonderful pet sitter! Our pets, even our shy ones, warmed up to her very quickly! She kept them safe, well fed and happy! We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter for our mini zoo!”

About: I have personal experience with small and big dogs. Puppies and elderly dogs. Indoor and outdoor cat. Cats that like to hide, cats that have disabilities. I have 2 dogs. Patty, a 17yo toy poodle shitshu mix. Nordic, 5yo husky german shepherd mix. I've raised Nordic since a puppy giving me lots of experience with high energy large dogs. I also have 2 outdoor cats. I helped my cat give birth to kittens, and took care of the kittens til they were old enough to go to thier forever homes. Ive house/pet sit for multiple family friends giving me experience with elderly/ end of life pet care. Have no problem cleaning up accidents. Aswell as experience with homes with large amounts of pets needing different dietary needs. Ive cared for homes with 6 cats, and homes with 5 dogs. I am detail oriented, and follow directions. I also have have worked as a bather at an award winning Carmichael Pet Salon. I can give pet bathes, cut and grind nails, do gland expression and give full brush outs. I have a very flexible schedule, I am a stay home mother. And dad works from home. So I'm almost always available to help, and happy to do so! My cats got used to being outdoor because that's how my father choose to raise them. They have a set up in our garage with heating pads and dinning area. And come inside during the day when they want. My elderly dog usually sleeps by my feet or with my dad. And we make sure she's indoors as much as possible. My husky loves to be near my babies he can usually be found outside their door or sunbathing in the backyard. He's off leash trained when appropriate for him to be off leash. He walks with me to get the mail, or hang out front with his family. I'm very big on treating animals how their owner does. Keeping routines. I have experience with crating from when my Husky was a puppy. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs.
“Adrienne was fantastic with our cats, while we went away. She took great care of them and was extremely reliable and responsive. We got detailed daily updates throughout our trip and were able to relax knowing that our cats were well looked after. Many thanks Adrienne, we will definitely be reusing your cat sitting services again!”

About: My # 1 goal is to make sure your pet is 100% satisfied, confident, and safe with me. I'm well equipped, you name it I'll bring the necessities I need to get the job done. I love a good brisk walk with dogs and also do cat poop removal and feeding if desired.

About: Been on rover for quite some time now 2018, I am now located in the Plumas Lake area. I am a CPDT but I’m shifting gears slightly and going to school for vet med to be a RVT. Your pets will be in good hands between myself and my wife who has 10 years as RVT. Coffee, let the pups out to potty, prep breakfast, head out for morning gym or appointment. Return by 12. Potty breaks and dog walk or bike ride for Sparta. Landscaping/yard work or In my workshop until sundown. Dogs eat around 5pm Yard is fenced in back and front. I will be able to provide play areas for little and big dogs separately if needed. Meals are typically mornings 7 to 9 and evenings 5 to7. I am able to create different zone for the dog to be in if there is any need for separation. I also have multiple buildings in which to house them and a very large private back yard for them to run.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. While living in Australia, I spent two months walking and house sitting an Alaskan Malamute, which taught me a lot about handling large, high-energy dogs with care and confidence. I’ve also walked and cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m familiar with a variety of breeds and temperaments. On the feline side, I have three rescue cats of my own, all former strays, and I regularly foster kittens, so I’m experienced with cats of all ages; from bottle babies to seniors. I also love visiting cat sanctuaries just to spend time with the kitties. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’m passionate about giving animals the love, attention, and respect they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because my schedule is currently wide open. I'm in between career paths right now, which gives me the flexibility and time to fully dedicate myself to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. This also means I’m available for last-minute bookings and longer stays when needed. Caring for animals brings me a lot of joy, and I love being able to make it a meaningful part of my daily life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved; just as they would if you were home. During house sitting, I stay in your home and closely follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that includes feeding, medication, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. I also keep your home clean, secure, and tidy, watering plants if needed, and making sure everything is just as you left it. For drop-in visits, I provide personalized care and attention, including feeding, fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or backyard potty breaks, administering medications when required, and spending quality time playing or cuddling. Whatever your pet needs to feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When it comes to dog walking, safety is always my number one priority. I use secure harnesses or leashes, avoid busy or high-traffic areas, stay alert to other animals and potential distractions, and tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. I never walk dogs off-leash and always ensure they’re hydrated and comfortable before and after each outing. Plus, I send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Our pups are so happy when Carly takes care of them! We love how communicative she is and the time she spends making our canine kiddos feel loved. We have enjoyed working with her and will continue repeat bookings in the future!”

About: I am a Military retiree, I have nothing but time. Ready, willing and able to pet sit, walk, pet, bathe, brush and spoil. I’ve had both cats and dogs for over the last 20 years. I currently have a 6yr old Service animal (dog) for my child. I have also worked at a Dog boarding /shelter that was on a farm. There I cared for dogs of all ages, breeds and needs. I can be available anytime in a 24 hour window. My children drive themselves now and no longer need me to run them around like I am a personal taxi. In our home, we just love!!!! Everybody has a few boundaries here and there like the cats aren’t allowed on the countertops, or the table, but they have no problems sitting/lying on our laps and our necks on the back of the couch. Our dogs are allowed on my children’s beds. I personally prefer cuddles with them on the couch. BUT——YOUR home, YOUR rules. I will follow, conform and adhere to whatever you deem appropriate for your house and animal family member.
“Christina was amazing! She was understanding and patient with my anxious pup, and capable of handling my dog-reactive one. I always worry that my roughhousing, loud dogs will be too intense for people, but Christina's experience proved to be a perfect fit! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter :)”

“Misty did an amazing job taking care of our 5 month old Archie. They arrived exactly on time, fed him, played with him, took him for walks and provided great photos of their adventures. Highly recommend to book with Misty. You won’t be disappointed.”

About: I have been a lifetime pet parent and now I’m sitting full time.

I’m a full time on line student so I’m almost always home. I love animals. I like to play with them in the yard or cuddle up on the couch. I either walk them when needed or when it is safe to do I don’t like to take any dogs out on hot pavement unless they’re wearing shoes. I am very respectful of my clients home and even willing to do small chores while gone.. I do enjoy being outside and playing ball with the dogs. Or lazing outside with them
“Super timely and quick to answer any questions. One day i forgot to schedule janet for a drop in when i did want her, she replied quick and made herself available for the drop in! Definitely will be using Janet again.”

About: I have been around all different types of animals my whole life. I have bottle feed newborn puppies and nursed them to adults. I also have a senior dog myself whom is my best friend. Getting to work with a different variety of animals is what I think sets me apart. I am available in the mornings everyday from 6 am to 7:30 am and in the afternoons everyday starting from 3:30-6pm. Weekends I am fully available. I have grown up with different sized dogs, my first two dogs have always been inside dogs and my two big dogs have always been outside dogs. They are walked and played with daily, and are feed twice a day. For a clients home I will follow every request the client has for there pet without question.
“Rebekka was on time, took care to check on all animals and gave them each some love. She communicated any issues clearly and sought out the best remedy for issues with broken dog cable, etc. Super responsible. We will definitely use her again.”
About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal by my side. I have extensive, hands-on experience owning, fostering, sitting, and walking all kinds of animals. I truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide seamless, consistent care—picking up exactly where you left off. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict medical/routine management, or just gentle, attentive companionship, I am here to provide peace of mind. Whatever you and your animals need, I'm your girl! I work full-time providing home care for adults with mental health and developmental disabilities. Because my shifts can be non-traditional, clear communication is my absolute priority to ensure your pet's schedule is perfectly maintained. I keep my Rover calendar strictly updated with my work hours so you always know my exact availability before booking. If an 8-hour shift overlaps with your needed care times, we will discuss a seamless game plan beforehand to ensure your pet is fully looked after. Outside of my shift hours, I put focus on pet care. My background makes me highly routine-oriented, meaning I am incredibly reliable when it comes to early morning check-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting blocks. I believe every pet deserves the perfect fit. If my work schedule ever conflicts with what your pet needs, I will be completely transparent upfront so you can find the best match for them. If we are a match, you can count on absolute reliability, consistent updates, and a dedicated sitter who treats your schedule—and your pet—with total respect! Whether I am caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home or hosting them with me, safety and open communication are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, ensuring a secure, low-stress environment. I strictly follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and medication timelines. Keeping their environment consistent prevents anxiety while you are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,759 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
