“Ava was very communicative and graciously stayed overnight to hang with my pups. She checked in and sent pictures of their time while I was away. Many thanks to her and would rebook.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, medication routines, and providing companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by treating your pets with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and house sitting and I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine. I can provide regular updates and make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, companionship, and care while you’re away. I provide care in your pet’s own home, allowing them to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’m respectful of your home and attentive to your pet’s safety, needs, and boundaries. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and other care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Dustin was very patient with my anxious dog (and very patient with his anxious mamma). Thank you for hanging in there with him, I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”
“Great experience with Rene! He watched Karma in my home while I was away in Reno, followed all directions, communicated great, and took excellent care of him — all at a very reasonable price. Reliable, attentive, and trustworthy — highly recommend!”
“Janessa did a fantastic job watching my cat and house while I was away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was being well cared for. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and the house was just as I left it. I would definitely hire Janessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Dmitriy was a great sitter for our 2 month old Puppy, Willow. He arrived on time and ready to go. Willow is a high energy puppy that is very mouthy and still working on her potty training. Dmitriy dived right in and worked with her to have the best day! He was very good about sending me updates and photos, which really put me at ease. When I returned home Dmitriy related that it was a good day of play, naps, and no potty accidents!! I would recommend Dmitriy for his professionalism, patience, and good care for your pet!!”
“Char was absolutely amazing. They were incredibly flexible when a family medical emergency ended up taking several days longer than expected. I will absolutely book them again!”
“The first thing I liked about booking with Jessie was that she offered to come over to meet my pets to see if it would be a good fit. She was very communicative with me during her stay and I felt like my pets were well taken care of and had their normal routine.”
“Bari was wonderful! We felt totally secure leaving our dogs and cat with Bari. She was communicative, helpful, and all-around awesome. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Bari!”
“This is my second time booking RJ to watch my dog at my place and he was amazing once again. He sends daily pics and updated me on how my little girl was doing which provides a lot of peace of mind, especially having a senior dog. Whenever he had a question he would reach out which I appreciated.”
“Christina was extremely efficient and competent in taking care of our morkie and beagle for 11 days. Both dogs had some health challenges while we were away, and Christina handled everything smoothly with care and compassion. She kept in touch with us the whole time with reports and photos. And it was obvious she developed a personal relationship with each of our dogs. I would hire Christina again in a heartbeat. She is a joy to work with.”
“Anna was amazing! She took great care of our dog and was very respectful of our house! We will for sure be booking her again for our next vacation. She showed up on time and even stay little late for us! Anna went above and beyond our expectations.”
“Joel stayed in our home with Loki for a weekend, as always, Loki was very happy to spend time with Joel. We had great communications from Joel including lovely photos! Which always reassures us that our boy is doing ok!. Joel is always very respectful of our home and leaves it clean and tidy. We highly recommend Joel.to look after your beloved furry friends, weve booked him again for September for a longer stay, and January for a weekend!”
“Claudia was great! Sent photos throughout the day and responded quickly when I checked in. Also made my dogs their picky/spoiled lunch and sent photos afterward. Also sent me updates as to how much they ate. I’ll use Claudia again whenever needed - you should too. They’re in good hands.”
“We had an amazing experience with Keishla and can’t recommend her enough. She went above and beyond caring for our cat and our home, and her thoughtful updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a house in perfect shape. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to watch your pet, book with Keishla without hesitation. We are already planning on having her back again!”
“Kirsten did a great job of accommodating our needs and dogs schedules. I only had a couple of days to arrange dog and house sitting before going to Utah for a service. The dogs were comfortable and not like boarding. Definitely will use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkway-South Sacramento
Another great overnight with my pup! Hilda is awesome. She made sure my pup was well taken care of with walks and playtime, sent tons of pictures and left my house in order and clean. It’s a relief to leave my pup with someone I can trust. Thank you so much!
Alice was wonderful. She kept us informed of how our pets were doing the whole time. She came by before we were leaving to make sure the pets were comfortable with her since it had been some time since we booked her and the time she was watching them. We highly recommend her.
Laura has been the most flexible, understanding, and easiest sitter - my boys love when she stops by. She texts and sends photos, which brings peace of mind at work. I haven’t found the right person to help ever since I moved back to Sacramento, so I’m lucky she and I connected. Trust me y’all, shes the one! Thank you Laura ✨

FAQs for House Sitting - Parkway-South Sacramento
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parkway-South Sacramento on Rover is $63.74 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 2,750 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parkway-South Sacramento. 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 Parkway-South Sacramento 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 Parkway-South Sacramento 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 Parkway-South Sacramento 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.
