“Ava stayed in our house to care for our elderly diabetic cat while my husband and I were out of town. She administered 2 injections and 2 pills per day, in addition to his regular care and feeding. She also played with him, brushed him, and gave us daily updates on how he was doing. It was wonderful to know our little guy was in good hands! We got home yesterday to a relaxed, well-cared for cat! I recommend Ava without hesitation, and I will definitely hire her again in the future when the need arises.”
“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!”
“Dustin came in the clutch super last minute and made it work for a quick overnight. It was the first time I left my babies with someone that I didn’t know personally. He sent all the pictures and updates I could have asked for. He was reassuring that my dogs aren’t monsters. I can’t even tell someone else was in my home. Easy to communicate with, punctual, dogs seem happy and I am very pleased with Dustin. Will absolutely book again, hopefully with more notice next time. Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Alma is a terrific professional dog and house sitter and I’m happy to refer her services. She’s calm and kind and consistent. I was gone for 10 days and she fit seamlessly with our routine. My two dogs are very different ages and personalities and Alma handled both perfectly. She kept the house up and it was in excellent condition when I returned. I’ve been in the Sacramento area for 5+ years and can honestly say that Alma is the best pet/house sitter I’ve found here.”
“Melinda is so amazing, she took such good care of our dog and our house. She was constantly communicating and sending us pictures where our dog looked so happy and comfortable and really allowed us to enjoy our trip. Our house has never looked better and we are so grateful to have found Melinda. Could not recommend her more! She is amazing.”
“Alayna was excellent with Lolo, and sent us photos regularly. It was really easy to communicate and set up a meet and greet too. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we go out of town.”
“Susan is a gem and a wonderful sitter. She is kind, conscientious, and capable, and focuses on the most important element — the pets! At the same time she has the attention to detail needed for the job. Cannot recommend Susan more highly.”
“Cory recently helped house sit for our 3 English Mastiffs. I usually am at home full time and I had never hired anyone to help in our house so I was a little nervous at the beginning. Once Cory came by for our meet and greet, his calm and gentle nature made me feel at ease and our dogs were immediately calm in his presence. During his stay Cory administered medication to two of our dogs. Our oldest dog is blind and weighs 110 lbs and cannot stand without having her lower body lifted to get to her feet. Cory helped by lifting her and assisting her while walking outside to use the restroom and supporting her while walking around the house. I appreciate all of the kindness and patience Cory had with our elderly girl, I felt at ease that she was being cared for while i couldnt be at home with her. I also appreciate the time spent with our other two dogs in our absence.”
“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”
“I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!”
“Niiyah took great care of our cats while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates and it was clear that she gave our pets and home a lot of care and attention. We highly recommend Niiyah!”
“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.”
About: Around my neighborhood and with friends and family I’ve been trusted to care for cats and dogs. I’ve assisted in walks, feedings, play time, bathroom time and so on, as well as done each on my own. I love caring for all animals and because of my experience caring for pets from those in my neighborhood and with family and friends I’d like to do it more often as I enjoy the time I have with any animals. While caring for any beloved pet I pay attention to what they’re doing while giving them space to be themselves, making sure they’re well fed and taken on walks. If any concerns come up that I see from my time with any pet I make sure to reach out and inform you on what I’ve seen.
“As always, Bari took great care of our dog, Merlin, and our house while we were away for the weekend. It's fantastic to be able to go on vacation with the peace of mind that our little guy is being well taken care of. We appreciate it so much!”

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.
