“Seana did a great job, followed directions wonderfully, and made us feel very comfortable with updates and pictures! We highly recommend her! This was our first time using anyone other than a kennel or relatives, and we would not hesitate in the future.”
“We have used a couple of other pet sitting service providers in the past. This is the second time that we used Rover and asked Joshua to take care of our cat, Penny. We could not be happier with the service Joshua provides. He is very caring person, and Penny, who is very finicky when it comes to humans, is very happy when Joshua comes to visit.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Clarissa was wonderful for drop in visits with my pup while we were away on vacation! Super thoughtful and punctual. Would recommend and we will be sure to book again when we need!”
“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!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly! We are first-time users of Rover and it was a positive one from beginning to end. From the Meet and Greet, to the actual dog-sitting appointment, and the after pictures/report card, it was smooth sailing. Not only will I use Kimberly again, but I highly recommend her. She’ll be sure to keep you in the loop and your pet might not know you’re gone for the day! Thank you again for taking such good care of our fur baby. ???”
“Brady took such great care of Oliver even with a few unexpected happenings she came through for Oliver. She kept me posted and I didn't need to worry at all that everything was taken care of. Thank you so much! Oliver will be happy to see you again next time!”
“This was our first time hiring a cat-sitter, and we were naturally a bit nervous since we were away for 30 days. Katia was wonderful with Kimi, attending to all her needs with consistent care. She was highly accountable and kept the litter robot, water fountain, and feeder spotless. It seems she’s a bit of a 'cat whisperer,' as Kimi was even more talkative with her than with us! Katia’s daily Rover cards became the highlight of our trip, giving us total peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend her as an excellent sitter!”
About: I love all animals and have had pets since I was very young. I have a lot of experience with cats, dogs and birds. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 birds and am also caring for a friend's chicks at the moment. I also do drop-ins for my neighbors dogs to give them potty breaks, play a little and give them some love and of course treats! I treat others homes and pets with the love and respect I do my own. I am available on weekdays, Monday through Friday, when my kids are in school between 9am and 3pm. I can do before 9am if given enough notice. During the summer I am available before 12pm most days and can be available between 12pm and 3pm some days (Varies based on my partners work schedule). Will provide utmost communication and care when entering your home, walking your dogs, and taking care of your fur or feather babies. Happy to do meet and greets to make sure you and your pet feel comfortable. Also happy to provide pictures and In and out times for each visit.
“Carly did a great job for our pets. She was very prompt, caring, and attentive to detail. Carly definitely went above and beyond caring for them. She easily took care of their medications. We found her communication to be timely and complete. We will definitely book her again!”
“Our Ozzy always looks forward to his girl Peggy visiting! From playtime to cuddles, we know he is taken care of and a happy boy while we’re away! Thanks as always to our girl!!”
“Sarah provided excellent care taking care of our pet while on vacation. Our area was flooded while we were gone, and Sarah found a way to still make it here to feed Barney. Very responsible and gave us daily updates with pics. Would highly recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Ruth is the best. She is so reliable and good with our cats. I feel comfortable with having her do the difficult things like medication to giving them love while we’re away. And I love seeing the pictures.”
“Nicole took excellent care of my 3 dogs and cat. My dogs are senior and she took the extra care and attention a senior dog needs. I will definitely have Nicole return to take care of my pets and I highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.”
“Richard was great with communication, pictures and updates during our trip. He was very professional, came and checked everything out ahead of time. Our cat obviously trusted him right away which is no easy feat. Thank you!!”
“Julie is fantastic- easy to work with and answers requests promptly- confirms all tasks and was a VERY CALMING INFLUENCE on my shy kitty- i appreciate Julie and River for taking the stress of a prolonged absence off my mind— i will definitely recommend River app and services- and if Julie is available- she will surely make your pet as comfortable and cared for as she did mine! Bravo”

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!

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.
Rita did an amazing job caring for our 9-month-old anxious puppy, Figgy. She was so thoughtful, kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day, and made Figgy feel safe and comfortable. We really appreciate her flexibility, especially as we just moved and needed extra support. No issues at all—looking forward to working with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Penn Valley on Rover is $34.41 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,204 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Penn Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Penn Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
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
- 96% 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.
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.
