“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful while we went away for the long weekend. She managed our two dogs and their detailed feeding schedules without issue! She did a great job of looking after the house and I came back to a clean home (which is the best after returning from a trip)! We also received informative updates and super cute photos of the dogs. We are so thankful to Mariah for showing our pups so much love and care this weekend and will definitely be booking again! 🤍”
About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
About: I have had at least 3 pets my entire life, and that was at my parents' house. I have pet-sat for numerous friends and family members. I have cared for dogs ranging from puppies to senior cuties! I currently have 1 cat at my mom's, 2 dogs, and a cat at my dad's. I am very comfortable with animals, and I am always making sure that they are being taken care of and are having a fun time! I am currently working part-time, usually closing shifts, which are normally 5-9 pm. So I have plenty of time to play with your pets:) I have grown up with pets my whole life, and I am committed to providing a safe and fun environment. My number one concern is your pets:)
“Omg thank u soooo much Deanna. My dogs were in such good moods when I came home- soft and happy! Thank you for taking care of everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 one of my boys needs extra behavioral attention on walks. Deanna was fantastic. I highly recommend. She’s a gem!!!!”
“Hannah made instant friends with our grumpy old man, which is quite a feat! When a couple of unexpected issues arose with the recently adopted Basenji we had, she worked with me to brainstorm solutions. Our pups got daily walks and upon our return, were not stressed or anxious as a result of our 12-day vacation. They were in good hands with Hannah.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for the past 10 years from taking them on walks, playing with them and watching them . Willing to learn new things. I’m currently working part time in the mornings to the afternoons. Willing to do after work or on weekends. Willing to come and check them also. I provide a safe space for them and make sure they feel comfortable. I also keep a schedule so they are taken care of the same every time. And keep them happy.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Whether those were dogs in my family, or a dog of my own. I have experience with dog walking and pet sitting dogs in my neighborhood as well! I am detail-oriented so I make sure to follow owner instructions and pay attention to animal behavior. I’m currently a student-athlete and have some extra time on the weekends to take care of dogs! I love animals (sometimes more than people) and I would love to use my free time to look after animals and provide my services. I have a dog at home who I pay close attention to so that he doesn’t eat anything, break anything, and I make sure he gets attention! Like my own dog, I treat other dogs with the same care and love.
“Caroline was great with all our pets! She came by in advance to meet everyone and helped us out with a last minute booking. She did a great job with a mix of our higher energy large dog and chill cats. She was super kind and responsive during her stay, and we’ve already booked her again for another weekend - would totally recommend her for watching dogs and cats ! :)”
“Cheryl was great. She communicated with me the entire time and provided a bunch of pictures to make me feel better about leaving them. She was very kind and understanding of my dogs individual needs and treated them amazingly well. I would use Cheryl again without a doubt.”
About: Hi! I’m Betty and I’m new to the Sacramento area! I’d love to meet the local pets and get to now the best parks and trails to take with your pups/kitties! Friendly with non traditional pets too! Snakes, tarantulas, geckos, birds, fish, etc. Currently 1 month out from graduation and have an open schedule to meet all your pets needs! I look forward to many walks and cuddling time with the doggies! I’m very energetic and can match the high energy dogs! I love to play fetch, keep away, and tug o war with the pets on my drop ins! My goal is to tire the doggies out before the visit is over :) The most important thing for me is forming a bond with the pets and safety of course! This would involve long walks and tons of cuddle time as well had following house rules :)
About: Senior dogs are my specialty. I understand that older pups may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent potty breaks, shorter walks, mobility accommodations, or simply someone who is happy to sit beside them and provide some company. Sometimes the best walk is a leisurely sniff around the block—and sometimes it’s a very dignified stroll to the mailbox. I’m here for both. What sets me apart is that I treat your dog like an individual, not a checklist. I pay attention to their personality, routine, comfort level, and those little quirks that make them them. I’m responsible, observant, dependable, and genuinely love animals. And if your senior pup prefers naps, snacks, and judging the neighbors from the window? I speak that language too. I am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and most weekends for a morning stroll, potty break, or simple snuggles. Safety and your comfort are my priority. Your home, their rules. 🐾 I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pup is most comfortable. I’ll follow your routines, instructions, feeding schedules, medications (if applicable), and all those very important household rules—yes, even the one about not letting them convince me they “haven’t been fed yet.” 😉 During visits, your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being appropriately spoiled. I do not provide boarding or pet care in my own home. My goal is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog by caring for them right where they’re happiest: at home, in their own space, with their own stuff.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orangevale
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She was reliable, attentive, and stayed on top of our dogs’ schedules. She made sure they were walked, well cared for, and comfortable throughout her stay. She was responsible, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in good hands while we were away. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and the care she provided. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
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!
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!
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
