“Brandie is absolutely incredible. We have two cats and a little dog, all boys. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and struggles with new people. Within the first few hours he warmed right up to Brandie. All three boys looked so content and happy all week. Brandie was very communicative and always responded immediately. She did everything we requested and more. Went above and beyond in taking care of the house and our boys. We are so grateful to Brandie and cannot recommend her enough. She will absolutely be sitting for us again. We cannot wait to have her back and neither can Neil, Migi, & Buster! ❤️”

“Travis was absolutely awesome with our girls. He sent pictures every day and kept us updated. Which was a huge stress reliever b/c me and my now husband were away getting married. We will definitely keep him in mind for future pet sitting.”
“Watched our pups for an extended weekend and took great care of them! One of our dogs has high anxiety and doesn’t get along with everyone, but she was able to feed him and give him his meds. Thank you!”
“With only meeting Meredith once before she stayed with my baby for the weekend, I felt very comfortable with her. She came in and my dog was immediately comfortable with her and I could tell Meredith was a very loving person. She cared for my dog all weekend, staying with her most of the time and taking for extra long walks which I am sure Mya' loved. Thank you Meredith!!!”

About: I have had experience in dog sitting and walking puppies! I have always wanted a dog but just do not have the room for it at home so pet sitting for friends has always been something I have loved doing! Currently, I am working part-time and I am a college student. However, my shifts are never longer than 4 hours. My services are available all week!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My dad was a dog trainer, although I am not super specialized or advanced in my training techniques - I firmly believing in training, queues, patience and love rather than control. I will care for your babies like they are my own. I have experience dealing with shy/anxious pets to friendly/high energy. I make an effort to go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of and safe <3 Open to meet ups first or chatting on the phone to get acquainted and ensure alignment. I do a lot of free-lance, part-time work and do not do much most weekends, so I will have a lot of time to provide care and walks throughout the day. I am a very active person so I do not have trouble keeping up and staying moving. Open to recurring scheduling for the next 4 weeks. I have a fenced yard, garage area, and plenty of open space for fur babies to run around. I know a good amount of walking routes as well. I am open to coming into your space, and making sure the pet is feeling comfortable and at home. Dog-walking is my speciality, and I will do my best to ensure the best care is provided, as well as ensuring appropriate leash behavior! For pet-sitting, my greatest focus is ensuring enough walks and movement and interaction throughout the day.
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orangevale
Michael was wonderful with our high energy 8 month old puppy! He came over and met her/us a few days before and walked Sadie. He is experienced in dog training and it showed! He took great care of her here at our house for the day. He kept us updated with texts and pictures that were so appreciated! It was our first time leaving her all day and it was such a relief and we were able to relax knowing she was doing well. We also have a car that he kept a eye on so there weren't scuffles and he could be fed too. We will absolutely use Michael again and would recommend him for others needing a sitter
Anastassia took such good care of Kenobi and Birdie! This was our second time booking her, and she did not disappoint. She followed all instructions perfectly, sent updates, and left our place in order. She kept our puppy fully entertained while keeping our 8yo great company. The babies absolutely adored her. We’ll definitely book her again! ☺️
Mariah did a wonderful job house sitting for our two dogs and three cats for the weekend. Thank you for taking good care of our fur babies. She sent updates and pictures to keep us informed on how everything was going. We wouldn't hesitate to have Mariah take care of our girls again. Thank you!
Travis did great job watching our two small dogs and cat. He did Pet sitting for us at our house for 10 days. He Took great care of the house. Watered the plants and kept everything in great shape. We definitely recommend Travis and look forward to using him again in the future.
We used Kiley to watch our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for our wedding. Our dogs loved her and were so excited to see her walk in through the door following our meet and greet. She provided us updates of the pets and went above and beyond by accommodating all my requests when I had forgotten something and needed it placed outside for a pickup! Super sweet, reliable, and helpful — all that you want and need in a pet sitter!
We love Hannah!! She is very considerate of our home and our dog Luna. She asks great questions on how to best provide care tailored to her needs, so we can leave feeling very comfortable that our pup is in good hands. We always come home to a very clean home which we also appreciate! Thanks Hannah!
This was our first time having Cayla caring for our fur babies and it was a great experience. She was able to adjust to a last minute schedule change which was a life saver! The dogs seemed happy in her care and she was great with pictures and following up. We definitely would recommend her!
I booked Alex for last-minute overnights to pet & house sit and she was fantastic! So glad I took a chance and will for sure book again. She did great with my two dogs who are high-energy and have anxiety issues, and even took them for walks together! She also watched our pet dubia roach & leopard gecko with no issues. Alex aleft our home in great shape too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orangevale is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $97 per night. 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 2,785 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orangevale. 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 Orangevale 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 Orangevale 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 Orangevale 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
