“Deborah provided great house sitting services for our two pups. She made a quick bond with our pups and spent some quality time daily to make them happy and comfortable while we were away. She stayed in touch with messages and pictures too. We came home to happy dogs; we’ll definitely book with Deborah again.”
“Brandie did and amazing job of watching our four big dogs. The had some special medical needs that she accomadated and we got photos plus great communication. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Wow!!! Anastassia was amazing!!! She went above and beyond. The basic things were there, sticking to schedule, sending pictures and keeping me updated. But so much more than that! My pup had to take some medicine and she made sure he got what he needed! She also ended up taking out the trash, cleaning and even organized my fridge (there were very few things in there but she still organized it all). I cannot speak highly enough. I will be booking her again next time I need someone to stay with my pup. Highly recommend. 10/10!”
“Ashlin was wonderful to our fur babies. She sent updates with pictures while we were away. She did a great job housesitting as well! I highly recommend her for your petsitting needs!”
“Johnna was a wonderful and attentive caretaker for our little fur family! We got lots of updates and pics which we loved. She was able to come by a couple times before we left so our doggo could get to know her and her super sweet pup, Bonnie. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Meredith took great care of our home and our dogs. She took our dogs on multiple walks, and we hear there were lots of snuggles in between! We had a relaxed time away from home because we knew Meredith had us covered! Thank you, Meredith!”
“Lacee was everything we were looking for in a house sitter and a dog sitter. She is reliable, responsible, and a proactive communicator. She took great care of our 3 active dogs and kept us informed. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
“Ronni is the best!! She took care of not only our two cats but also our anxious pup and he loved her! He warmed up super quick and was very comfortable. Ronni is great and we will continue to ask her back whenever we are planning a trip!”
“Riley is a very reliable, dependable, and courteous care-provider. Our three dogs were very happy when we returned. They were even a little sad because Riley left. He did a great job carrying for them. Thanks so much, Riley.”
“Delmar is a lovely person and pet sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure my menagerie was taken care of and sent lots of updates. She also took her own notes about my home and the the pets’ schedules.”
“Julia watched our two dogs for the week we were on vacation. She did an absolutely wonderful job with them, the house, and communication! Will be rebooking with Julia in the future :)”
“Mike house and pet sat our three fur-babies for four nights: 1 senior miniature poodle, 1 senior cat, and one young labradoodle. When he came by for the meet-and-greet, he was very attentive to how we interact with our pets and asked lots of questions about their personalities and individual quirks. Our two senior pets had multiple eye drops and an oral medication, all which Mike administered like a pro! He was very communicative and sent us updates with photos regularly. Our house was in perfect condition upon our return. We highly recommend Mike and look forward to hiring him again for our next trip!”
“What a wonderful experience. You were the perfect answer to taking care of our dog and cat! I will only be having you take care of them from now on!! I am so grateful to have found you through this ap! I only wish I would have found you years ago! THANK YOU”
About: I’ve had many animals as part of my family, raising them from infancy and all the way through the life cycle. My home has always had cats and dogs, with the occasional other animal added to the mix. I have been professionally pet-sitting for the last few years now and have cared for hundreds of pets. I treat your home and animals as though they were my own, with all of my respect and love. I’m working on pet first aid and CPR certification, am a member of Pet Sitters International, and am always learning more about cat behavior and dog training. Pet sitting is my favorite job ever! It’s become my full-time passion to find my niche and do this as a career. It sure beats my old desk job! I am also my daughter’s chauffeur. I am a night owl at heart and have no problem with late-night visits, but can also do visits before 8am when necessary. I start out meeting you and your animal(s). You show me what is most important to you and them, and I follow your instructions while also providing much-needed attention and affection to your loved ones while you are away.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Orangevale is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orangevale
Malarie is so great! We’ve had her stay twice now with our 6 and 1/2 year old chocolate lab and have been super happy with her care of our pup, our home, and she is a great communicator. We have a pretty lengthy list of ways we like to make sure our dogs care is handled, as well as the use of our home, and Malarie has followed everything, and gone above and beyond keeping our home clean and our pup happy. We already have her booked for the future for several stays and definitely want to continue using her! Definitely recommend her.
Anastassia went above and beyond, taking care of our animals and our house while we were on our trip and sent us many pictures so we knew our fur babies were safe and happy. The house was clean and the animals were happy and calm when we got home. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Would definitely book again!
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!
Sydney took great care of my yorkie, Teddy, while I was away. She was super communicative and sent daily updates and pictures. Teddy seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and my apartment was in great shape. She even coordinated a walk with Teddy’s best dog friend, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again.
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!
Thank you Brandie for taking care of Bruce and all his boxer energy! He had a blast and it was very heartwarming to see Bruce being so happy in Brandie’s care. I appreciated all the photos and videos of Bruce while we were away for the day. Thank you so much for everything, Brandie!
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!
We booked Alysia to house sit our two dogs and cat with only a few days notice. She kept us updated and sent pictures while we were away and was incredible with our pets and our home. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future and highly recommend her to others.
Amanda has always provided excellent pet and house sitting for us! We are able to leave for a few days knowing that our ragdolls will be cared for and loved! House is always the same as we left it and truly appreciate that Amanda respects our home as if it was hers.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orangevale on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,721 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orangevale. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
