About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”

“This is the second time I’ve hired Donna as my pet sitter, and once again, she has exceeded all expectations. During my 6-week vacation, she took phenomenal care of my two adult cats and three kittens, going above and beyond in every aspect of her job. Donna not only ensured that my cats were well-fed and looked after, but she also successfully trained my adult cat, Dusty, who previously didn’t know how to use a litter box, to use it consistently. She also trained the kittens to use the litter box, which was no small feat! What truly impressed me was the extra care Donna provided. She crafted toys out of boxes to keep the cats entertained and spent time each day observing their behavior and eating habits. Her daily updates were incredibly detailed, and she even noted the cats’ flavor preferences, which helped me understand them better. Donna’s commitment and dedication far exceeded my expectations. She provided the kind of care and attention that every pet owner dreams of. I will definitely be hiring Donna again whenever I need a pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond, and I am so grateful for everything she did for my cats.”


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:)
About: I have experience in all breeds and sizes. I’m especially familiar with larger pushy breeds, I’m very patient. I have confidence around untrained and trained. I’m firm but gentle. I love dogs and spend my days off doing doggy days out. I currently work on a barn with many animals, they all need care but I have time to come and take care of your pet. I do not have set hours so I can come at anytime. I feed, train, walk animals in my home. I would treat your pets as my own, important and one In a million. I’m open to all styles of care, how ever you instruct me.
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’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over neighbors’ and others’ animals, including dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, and cats. I’ve also had cats of my own since I was 8—five in total—and currently care for two on my own. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my ability to connect with animals, especially those that take time to warm up to new people. I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s recognizing subtle body language, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I have worked as a nanny for young children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months). This experience has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to balance multiple responsibilities at once—skills that also translate into pet care. I’m experienced in maintaining structured routines, ensuring safety, and providing comfort, which makes me well-equipped to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering not just basic care but also companionship and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at ease while you’re away! I will have to go home to feed and spend some time with my two kitties, Pumpkin & Hazelnut, but I also always find time to spend time with your pets as well. As of now I am looking for employment so my schedule is pretty open I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment. Every pet is different, so I follow your specific routines, guidelines, and house rules to keep things as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, or medication needs, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort while respecting your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take extra care to follow any instructions you provide, from home security measures to special pet needs. I also keep you updated with messages, photos, or check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.
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 27 years experience in the veterinary field, which also includes pet sitting. I have always had pets and am extremely passionate about them. 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
“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”

“Kara is nothing short of amazing! She is my dog person forever. Is great with my dog Luke, follows instructions and couldn’t be happier. Please do yourself a favor and hire her!”

“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!”

About: I've been a dog mom for more than 5 years, and my husband has been for 13 years. Our 13-year-old Coonhound, Lilly, just recently passed away from cancer. We're starting to miss the constant barking, peeing and begging. That's why we set our price low :) My husband and I are 100% stay-at-home and can be 100% dedicated to loving your little one. We also don't have any kids or other obligations...we're dog people. We have a house with a large backyard and a medium-sized doggy door. Dogs are part of our family and have free reign inside and out. We've never crated a dog (unless an owner asks us to) or left them alone in a room.
“Mariah took care of our dog for a week we were away. it was great to get picture updates as our sweet girl is 14 and it was going to be a warm week. Mariah was very quick to respond to questions and concerns as was willing to accommodate us as I thought we might need to add an additional day. We will definitely use Mariah again in the future!”

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! I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, but I’ve also grown up taking care of our own dogs my whole life. people always tell me how much their dogs love me! I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online! I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday but can discuss morning or evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll always follow their normal routine, respect your home, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is in good hands!
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.

“Lindsay is fabulous! She took care of my little Lola as if she was her own. We will DEFINITELY be using her for pet sitting going forward. She is dependable and a great communicator!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orangevale
Fiona -who is normally a slow-burn and very shy- warmed up to Travis immediately, even coming out to play and sit with him on the couch. Travis kept me updated on Fiona’s status every day and left the environment clean. There was also an issue on my end with the home alarm code not working and Travis handled it professionally. I will rebook him for all of my future pet sitting needs and would recommend him to anyone that wants the comfort of knowing their pet is in good hands while they’re away. Thank you Travis.

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!!!
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.

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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
