“Brandie stayed at my house for 4 days with my dog and 3 cats. She left the house in great condition and even watered my plants and brought in my mail. She is a natural with animals. My dog developed a tight connection with her and she did a great job taking care of him even in the very warm weather. She was great with the cats as well; playing with them and tending to their needs. I appreciate that she kept the dog and cats apart as they do not like each other. I highly recommend Brandie for your pet sitting and dog walking needs.”
“We had a great experience with Deborah! She was super nice, very communicative, and kept us updated on our two dogs throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Cayla did a great job making sure Dottie was fed, took her meds and had walks morning and evenings. She was in communication and was able to follow all directions for my spoiled little girl.”
About: I’ve never not had pets. My family has almost always had dogs, and I took care of a hamster and cat when I was younger. Today, my wife and I have two poodle-mix dogs (Togepi and Raisin) and two guinea pigs (Betty and Gertie). We got Togepi when he was just a couple months old. We got Raisin from a shelter in 2024. I’ve helped my wife with her Rover sitting since since 2023—she’s a 5-star sitter. I just graduated from law school and am studying for the California bar exam this summer. I’m available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My wife plans to do Mondays-Thursdays if you need someone earlier in the week. I’m happy to care for your pet(s) however you’d like. If you want me to stay in your home while you’re away, I can do so on most Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Maddison was incredibly responsive and respectful of my home. She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell my pup was happy and well looked after. On top of that, she was super kind. Highly recommend!”
“Julia did a phenomenal job house sitting and watching our cattle dog mix Phoebe for 4 days. She was very professional, attentive, checked in with us and sent pictures, and left us a tidy home and happy healthy pup to come home to. Would certainly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“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! 🤍”
“Olesia was very attentive and provided lots of updates. She was very communicative and responsive! We felt like our dogs were in great hands. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be using her in the future. Could not recommend her enough!!”
“My dog took an instant liking to Mira. Mira looked after our dog at our home and we felt completely at ease with her. Not only is she a lovely person, but she also made sure our dog was well looked after in every way. I was really pleased to receive regular photos from her so I could see how well our dog was doing. Ten out of ten”
“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!”
“Ronni was nothing short of amazing while she pet sit our two pups for 3 nights. She is extremely responsible, genuinely cares about your pets as if they were her own, sends progress pictures every day and follows all instructions to a tee. My husband and I have had many pet sitters and Ronni surpassed all of our expectations!! If you are looking for a superstar rover, Ronni is your person!!! We will absolutely be repeat customers! The best of the best! ✨💫”
“Danika B. was amazing!! She took care of our 5 dogs. She was very patient and loving to our high anxiety lab. She sent wonderful pictures. I appreciate her communication during her time with our dogs. I was very comfortable, trusting her with our five little babies. She did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend Danika!”
“Alex is every pet owners dream - she immediately installs a sense of trust & calm from the moment you meet her. - daily walks , excellent communication & photo and video updates throughout the day and the house was spotless when I got home! You can tell she REALLY cares about pets. The biggest plus though was that my two fur babies were relaxed & happy when I returned home. I will definitely be reaching out to Alex again for house sitting. Thank you Alex - you are the absolute BEST!”
“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.”

Riley did an amazing job house sitting/watching my two dogs. He provided updates and pictures and was very communicative. We had no worries while our pups were in his care. We came back home from a weekend away to healthy and happy pups! I would highly recommend!
Brooklyn was amazing. We have never used Rover before due to someone we don’t know watching out pups, but she made the process so easy. She adjusted her schedule to be able to watch our two dogs and was so quick to respond with any questions or provide photos of our boys! She left the house in great condition and even did the laundry that was used during her stay which was so unexpected! I will definitely have Brooklyn back in the future when we need help with our dogs!
We had an amazing experience with Olesia! She was kind, patient, and incredibly understanding with our young puppy, Bubbles. From the very first meet-and-greet, she made us feel comfortable and confident that he would be in great hands. Bubbles is still a baby and can be quite energetic and mouthy, but she handled him with so much patience and care. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and understands puppy behavior. She was attentive, gentle, and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We would absolutely trust her with Bubbles again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy! 🐶❤️

Micheal came for an interview and we were impressed wirh his experience, knowledge of pet and house sitting. This was our 1st time we left a stranger in our house to take care of our pet. Micheal was kind, neat and respected our home. He followed our instructions and most important he took great care of our wonderful pet. They bonded and Micheal sent us pictures daily of our pet. Micheal took the stress away while not being our pet Chica. Thank you Micheal you did a great job.
Mira was absolutely amazing for our dogs this weekend. Her level of professionalism and standard she holds herself to is very high. She had a great line of communication with us and continued to keep us in the loop daily about how our animals were doing. We will 100% be looking forward to having her dog sit for us again in the future.
Natalie is a gem. We came home to happy cats! She did a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 cats, kept us informed daily and sent pictures. She even took care of the neighborhood outside cat that comes by when hungry. I would not hesitate to book Natalie again.
Mariah was great. My cat went up to her right away during the meet and greet. It was great to have someone who also has cats and knows how to interact with them. She sent pictures during her stay. I also feed feral cats and she was willing to help put food out for them as well. House was clean when we got back and she washed all of my many containers of food which was a nice surprise. I appreciate her attention to details. I would definitely recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Orangevale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orangevale on Rover is $51.36 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,791 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.
