“As always, Haley did an excellent job looking after our 3 cats this past weekend. We booked her on short notice and she was very accommodating. When we got home, the litter boxes were clean, the water fountain was full, and the cats were happy! Thanks, Haley!!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. Throughout high school and college, I regularly dog- and cat-sat for friends, neighbors, and friends of friends, caring for pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and routines. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand a pet's body language and cues. Every animal communicates differently, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I adapt my care to what they need. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and consistency while you're away. My goal is not only to make your pet feel happy and secure but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands! I recently moved back home after spending 10 months living in Madrid, and I currently work part-time remotely. Because of my flexible schedule, I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's daytime walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to recognize when a pet is relaxed, excited, or anxious. Whether we're going for walks, playing, feeding, or just relaxing together, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I also understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful for both you and your pet. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and in good hands!!
“Amber was fantastic! Reggie warmed up to her right away and you can tell he felt safe with Amber. She sent me several photos of Reggie’s antics. I would definitely book Amber again!!”
“Donna was amazing with Simsim! She was very proactive dealing with some of his troublesome behavior and even made a little puzzle feeder for him out of a toilet paper roll that he absolutely loves. She even watered our plants and brought in the mail. Great thorough updates so I wasn't worried about Simsim at all during our trip. Thanks, Donna!”
“Michelle is our dog’s favorite sitter! She’s responsible, a great communicator, and really makes an effort to learn our high-energy dog’s personality and needs. Michelle always provides great written summaries and photos from her drop-in visits and walks. We have booked Michelle numerous times and will continue to do so. Thanks Michelle!”
“We have now worked with Lacee on 5 different drop-in bookings and we trust her implicitly with amazing care and love for our pets. We have a high-need senior diabetic cat with changing care needs each visit, but Lacee ensures she has thorough detail on what is needed to maximize care. She is extremely patient, and has waited through our one cat sometimes being shy and stubborn to ensure he gets the oral and injectable medication he needs. Our one cat that doesn't appear for many people has added Lacee to his circle of trust, credited to her tremendous compassion and are. You would be very lucky to have Lacee help care for your pets.”
About: I love dogs and cats, but can't have one of my own, so I am eager to spend time with yours! Friends and family rely on me to love on their sweet pets and take their dogs for long walks for years. I'm ready to add more pets to my week and have open flexibility. I love dogs and cats, but can't have one of my own, so I am eager to spend time with yours! Friends and family rely on me to love on their sweet pets and take their dogs for long walks for years. I'm ready to add more pets to my week and have open flexibility. Currently, I'm not offering pet care in my own home. I am respectful and responsible to treat your space with care and courtesy. I'm detail oriented and happy to meet your specific needs
About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
“So grateful to Travis and his flexibility, from a quick meet and greet to a change in the scheduled time. He arrived promptly and spent quality playtime with Buster. Great communication and response. We can't wait to use Travis again!”
About: I have worked in the animal field for 15 years+. I graduated vet tech school 10 years ago. I am an animal advocate and have worked with domesticate as well as exotic animals. I have understand the troubled animals since i have always adopted the animals that others said were too much to handle. I understand everyone has a busy life and I like to provide a place to safely leave ur pet where they can still be loved and have a warm home. Everyone including the furry members deserve a vacation. I can help take care of other peoples furry family members when they are away. I will discount additional pets in a family. Will discuss pricing when we make sitting reservations! Thank you I work in a vet clinic during the day but my husband is home and keeps ur fur kid(s) company while I’m at the hospital I have a fenced yard and there is usually someone home most the day with ur fur child. When left alone we do what u do at home. If that means a kennel then we do. If that means just hanging out on the couch we do it

I am very hardworking, loyal, and personable! My animals are my everything, so I always treat everyone's animals as my own. I am fun and very responsible! I do yoga and am a runner, so I am very in shape!! And my dog and cat get along with all other dogs and cats. Being professional is very important to me. I don’t mind animals in my lap, car and bed and furniture. Being in the veterinary field for so long I am very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of animals. I know what they need and don’t need. I own my own business so my schedule is very flexible! I make all kinds of jewelry and sell it at events. I currently have no pets and a roommate. I love to cuddle and play with the pets. I do grooming and dog training. I can come by for visits and I can also stay the night
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received this weekend! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They treated my dog like family, provided updates, and made sure all of their needs were met. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pup!”
“This is our second time using Alex. She’s responsible and showed up at the requested times and Sophie seems to really enjoy her visits. Alex was previously partially booked on our requested days yet she made herself available anyway to accommodate us. Great service!”
“Katie is awesome! She assured my cats would be taken care of with the upmost care. I could trust her with my home and my furry children and she made sure to update me with photos and daily texts while I was out of state”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs. My grandma also fostered dogs, so I was always surrounded by them growing up!

About: We always had dogs in my family. Growing up our Dog was a family member in fact definitely mom‘s favourite child! My wife and I have been married almost 40 years and dogs have been our children. We both love dogs and having recently lost our own girl of 14 years so we have a lot of love to give I understand what it takes to intrust your beloved pet to someone, I would treat any pet in my care like it was my own child!! With lots and lots of love there’s a huge park we could walk to right down the street from our house which is private in our village we love taking our puppies down there to socialise and or just walk. There’s also 2 miles worth of walking trails in our community. Well first off we give them lots and lots of love!! We’ve always had dogs that are allowed on the furniture and sleep on our bed however we will follow the directions of its owner. We like to take them for walks and play with them and keep them mentally active as well as physically. We would always walk them on a leash and take great care when they are around any other kind of animals or people. Basically, we would treat them with the greatest care like we would our own child! And of course give them lots and lots of love.
“Lindsey is great! She scheduled a meet and greet and I felt she would get along well with our dogs. I hired her to do drop in visits for my puppy so she is isn't in her crate for long periods. I love Lindsey's updates and she seen sends pictures so I know how my dogs are doing during the day. I've never used Rover before and am very happy I found it, and Lindsey.”
About: This is my first time working to take care of animals. I have had fur babies my whole adult life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats. I have a cat and a dog right now I’m retired so no work to worry about. I’m available almost anytime and it would be easy to work around your schedule. Thank you for the privilege I would love to watch animals in my home but I have a small place and a pit bull and a son living with me right now. I would care for your fur baby like I care for my own

Ella is an absolute angel! My family was going out of town for one night & we were really worried about our dog, Ava, but she made us feel so comfortable & Ava seemed to be just fine with Ella! She sent pictures and made sure to stay in contact with us. I would definitely recommend & use her again.
Anastassia is amazing!! She is very communicative, she set up a meet and great immediately and she is a natural with animals, knowing immediately how to work with the quirks and behaviors of our dog. She took our dog for a walk and was proactive about her needs including thinking to bring a water bowl. Our baby was nice and tired when I got home from work, I could tell she loved her new friend. Will definitely use Anastassia again!!
Michael is my go to pet sitter for Stella when I am traveling. I have used Michael 3 times now and will continue to request his services for Stella in the future. Michael always finds a way to accommodate my needs and schedule for Stella while I am away (even when I book last minute, sorry about that Michael). Michael is a friendly person who is responsible and caring with the pets and their homes he is tasked with! Thanks again Michael.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orangevale is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 4,020 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orangevale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orangevale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
