“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”

“Caitlyn is great! Very quick responses, set up a meet and greet within a day, and was on time and sent pictures for each visit. Would for sure book again and probably will for our next vacation! Highly recommended”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat for an extended weekend. We booked with short notice and Alexandra was able to accommodate. The communication was great throughout with updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking Alexandra for future pet sitting needs! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional pet sitter.”
“Seana was so attentive to our shepherd while we were away on vacation. She made sure she was well taken care of and kept us at ease by sending many pictures of our girl looking happy and playing. We will certainly book Seana again in the future! She even cleaned our floors when it got dirty from our dog going in and out after it rained! She’s the best!”
“Carly was amazing! Very detailed updates, lots of pictures, while taking care of our sweet girl. Proactive communicator from start to finish! We will be booking with her again!”
“Shirley did a great job caring for Max! She loved on him, was consistent and kept us up to speed with details of her visits and sent us pictures as well. I can confidently recommend her if you are in need of someone to care for your pet while you are away.”
“Brady is outstanding! Highly recommend! First time using Brady for my diabetic cat. She came twice before the scheduled visits to go over instructions and first watch me give the injection then again to administer the injection. She did great! Followed all instructions while I was away and gave detailed information and pictures during the visit. I did not worry at all since I knew Romeo was well taken care of. I will definitely request Brady again when the need arises. Thank you so much!”
“Mykelle did a wonderful job watching our puppy (walking, feeding and administering medication) when we were away for a long weekend. When I first contacted her, she was extremely responsive and we had a meet and greet right away to confirm the dog sitting job. Our puppy Cora really liked her too. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures and excellent communication. Mykelle completely put me at ease as this was the first time that we had been away from our puppy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Julie is amazing! I needed someone in a pinch and Julie came over to my house with her son to meet my dog before I went away for vacation and we all clicked right away! Julie is sweet, extremely responsive, available, on time with check ins, and great with posting pictures. I highly recommend her and will continue to request her first. Thanks Julie!”
About: I have years of professional experience caring for animals as a veterinary technician, dog trainer, and shelter worker. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and pets needing extra attention or medication. I treat every pet with patience and care and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary depending on the semester. However, I’m usually available after 2 PM, with even more flexibility after 5 PM. I do my best to work around each pet’s routine and can coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pets receive consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. With my veterinary and animal care experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, administering medications, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries.

I enjoy being around animals and taking care of them with whatever they may need. I can pet sit about every other day, weekends as well.I can also do multiple days in a row if need be, I am open to also spending nights with the animals, whatever is needed for you. I am very attentive to my own dogs and will be very attentive to yours as well. I always make sure their needs are met. I make sure they are taken very good care of. I am very patient, especially with senior dogs. I don’t get frustrated easily. I provide love and care to all animals I come in contact with.

Seana was our first rover sitter and made the entire trip seamless and peaceful. Her communication was prompt, professional and left us feeling secure that we left our pets in the best hands possible. From the first message about potential meet and greets to the daily check-in’s she was wonderful. We will be using her again when we need a sitter as she was extremely trustworthy and kind to our boys!

Debbie was so accommodating and super attentive to all of Leo’s needs and care. She asked detailed and informative questions that would help her and Leo during our time away. We have no complaints and would definitely recommend Debs services and we’re looking forward to using her services in the future :)
Sarah did a wonderful job caring for my two munchkins. Both of my cats are senior and the oldest, who is 17 and takes insulin LOVED HER. She was super attentive, thorough, on time, and I loved the after visit summaries that she left. I will most definitely recommend her service and hire again. Thank you Sarah for taking such wonderful care of them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,327 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Penn Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Penn Valley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
