About: I spoil the pets I care for. Your dog gets exercise and genuine companionship. Your cat gets a safe, entertaining environment where they’re actually the center of attention. I’ve loved my own Maltese Poodle for six years and my British Shorthair cat is basically my child, that’s the energy I bring. No rushing, no distractions. Just real care that makes your pet feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I keep a flexible schedule and I’m selective about bookings so I can give your pet the attention they deserve. Weekdays, just give me 3 hours notice. Weekends, 24 hours ahead lets me plan properly. Your pet’s comfort and safety are everything to me! Every pet parent and pet is different, and I adapt to what works for you both. If you have a specific routine or instructions, I’ll follow them to a tee — I want your pet to feel safe and secure. Or if you’re more laid back, I’m totally happy to just give them love, attention, and great care. Either way, you can relax and actually enjoy your trip knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m clean, professional, and super communicative — you’ll get tons of photos and updates throughout, so you’re always in the loo
About: I have over ten years of experience pet sitting cats and dogs. Outside of having my own cat, I’ve been a trusted dog and cat sitter for several neighbors and friends. I also have experience with fostering cats, as well as handling high stress veterinary situation for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, caring, and extremely communicative. Your comfort and your pet’s comfort is my top priority. I’m available via text or call all hours of the day for updates, and appreciate honesty and respect. I work full-time in the office four days a week, however have flexible hours. I’m often available after 3pm Monday - Thursdays, and typically all day Friday - Sundays. I am comfortable staying at client’s home, and prefer having a meet-and-greet to familiarize myself with your pet and your home. My top priority is ensuring you feel safe with me around your home and with your pet.
“Nina and Leo were very quick to respond and very accommodating. They were easy to work with and provided lots of photos and updates on our pet. Overall, they had a sweet demeanor and were professional the whole way through. I recommend them!”
About: I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was 10 around my neighbourhood and for friends and families! I also grew up with dogs in my family I am currently home for the summer from college, until August 31st, I have tons of flexibility! I am happy to help out in the mornings and evenings/overnight stays. I care for the pets by making sure they get their needs as requested. Including walks for dogs and making sure they feel as seen as possible. I also care for cats as well.
“I was super anxious about leaving my kitties alone for the first time, especially as one just got an ear infection and needed medication, but Zolfar was amazing! Super responsive, really looked out for their wellbeing, and even administered the medicine exactly as needed. Came back home to two perfectly healthy kittens :)”
“Abigail is so lovely! Her heart is so big, and she shows it through puppy love! My Freya love Abigail, and we can’t wait to have her back. She followed all the instructions and reached out with any questions! I felt super comfortable having her in my home, and had no concerns at all! Freya and I are thrilled to have Abigail!”
“Julia was great! She went above and beyond for our cats. She went above the call of duty and really made sure our cats were well cared for. We very much appreciated all that she did for us and our little ones. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Chelsea is AMAZING! She is so great with our cats—they love her and always come out to greet her despite being very shy. She also accommodated us over a holiday weekend last minute which we will forever be grateful for. She is very communicative, attentive, and considerate. Could not recommend more!”
“Rachel was amazing with our cat, Jasper! She was communicative, thoughtful and clearly genuinely cares. Her updates were detailed and reassuring and she went above and beyond—bringing in mail, spending extra time, and even leaving a sweet handwritten note and photo. Jasper clearly adored her and we felt so at ease while away. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Morgan took exceptional care of my two cats! She’s reliable, responsive, and very kind. I felt totally at peace being away from my babies, I’ve actually already booked Morgan again! She’s fantastic, and I’m so glad to have found her.”
“Octavia is awesome. Our dog has a generally anxious personality but he was totally comfortable with Octavia right from the start. She was right on time both times and super reliable - we will definitely be having her watch Dudley again!”
“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”
“This was Kim’s second time watching my cat and Russian tortoise. She once again did a great job, graciously met new requests, was patient with my anxious parenting, and gave thorough and reassuring updates. My cat (and possibly my tortoise, harder to tell what she feels!!!!) absolutely adores her. He especially loves playtime with her—I think she is better at that than I am with him! Will book again.”
“Qinyun was wonderful—pleasant, attentive, and very respectful of both my cat and my home. She checked in on Maxine for two weeks, wrote thoughtful Rover cards, and interacted so well with her. I’m truly grateful for her care and will definitely book again and recommend her to others!”
About: My experience is primarily with cats and dogs (in particular pit bulls and northern breeds including huskies), and aquariums (fresh, salt and reef), although I am happy to discuss sitting for households that include exotics such as reptiles or small pets. I am comfortable with high medical needs or multi-pet households due to my previous experience with multiple-cat homes and as an owner of two dogs and a cat myself. I only care for pets who are able to remain in their home environment (housesitting) because I feel that maintaining their usual routines and experience as much as possible when their humans are gone is critical to minimizing their stress. I work remotely as a freelancer, and during housesits, will not leave your pets alone except for essential errands lasting no more than two hours at a time, once a day. (For example, medical or dental appointments, checking on my own home and pets, running errands). For pets who suffer from separation anxiety, I may be able to offer continuous 24/7 coverage but this will need to be discussed. I feel that it's very important that client and sitter are a good fit for each other. While I am happy to work with households containing reactive pets or complex routines such as rotating dogs who do not always get along, I cannot accept jobs involving aggressive animals or those with a bite history. Pre-booking meet and greets are critical to making sure that we are on the same page and that both you and I have an understanding of what your pet's routine should be while you are gone. I provide daily updates via text, email, or messenger, and am available via phone or text 24/7 when you are away. For routine inquiries, please be aware that I do not check my messages between 9PM-8AM Pacific time.
About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets, growing up with both cats and dogs in my family. This constant companionship has given me a deep understanding and love for animals. I have specific experience with cats that have anxiety and aggressive behavior, learning to care for them with patience and understanding. While living in Batumi, Georgia, I volunteered to help stray dogs, feeding them and working to find them homes. This experience not only reinforced my passion for animal care but also equipped me with the skills to handle different pet behaviors and needs. I have an open schedule, so I’m available for daily walks and can stay with your pets at home for a couple of days if needed. I’m flexible and ready to fit pet care into my routine, ensuring your pets get the attention and care they need. I offer personalized care for pets both in clients' homes and during walks. At Home: - Feeding and Hydration: Ensure your pets have fresh food and water according to their schedule. - Companionship: Spend quality time playing and keeping them company to reduce anxiety. - Cleanliness: Maintain a clean environment by handling litter boxes, pet bedding, and any messes. - Medication: Administer medications as required. During Walks: - Exercise and Fun: Provide engaging walks tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs. - Safety First: Always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses and being vigilant about surroundings. - Behavior Management: Handle any behavioral issues with patience and positive reinforcement techniques. I customize my services to meet the specific needs and routines of your pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

Rachel was awesome. She took care of our cay for 4 days and while kitty was upset with us for leaving, she had been pampered. She got some great photos.?fm The house was kept secure and kitty happy. On top of that she checked the mail and garbage. We would call on her again. Thank you Rachel
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Danielle! She was kind, calm, and attentive with Benek, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. I really appreciated her detailed updates throughout each visit and all the wonderful photos — she seriously took the best pictures of him! 🥹 Her calm and caring approach really put me at ease, especially since this was my first time having someone care for Benek while I was away. I’m so appreciative of how thoughtful she was, and I think Benek is too! 🐾 I would absolutely trust Danielle with him again.
Savanna was once again very responsive and wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and problem solver. It was so great of her to take care of ants that threatened my cat’s food access while I was away. I’m so grateful to have had someone trusted like Savanna look after Maxine.
Julia is the best! It was such a relief to know that she was taking care of my two cats. She was very reliable, flexible, and communicative. She was super on top of the schedule and helped me manage my short-term booking that I hadn’t requested correctly. On top of that, her love of animals and joy about taking care of my cats made such a big difference. I will definitely check Julia’s availability next time I go out of town!
Alex is a phenomenal pet sitter! I booked him for drop-in visit for my cat, El Gato, and he exceeded all expectations. He was highly communicative, incredibly punctual, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. El Gato can be very selective and a bit difficult with new people, but he warmed up to Alex immediately and genuinely enjoyed his visit. Alex made sure to send great updates and great pictures, giving me total peace of mind while I was away. If you want a sitter who will genuinely care for your pet and treat them like family, look no further than Alex. I will be booking with him again!
Morgan is our *go-to* when we’re traveling & our crew loves seeing her! Even our cat (who often doesn’t come out when we have guests) comes out to say hello & show her playful side when Morgan comes by. Always grateful to have Morgan care for them & will continue to have her come by when we need her.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Fair Oaks on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,592 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across North Fair Oaks. 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.
