“Words cannot express how amazing Erica was to my little cat Calvin!!! She took great care of him, kept me informed and went above and beyond to show my super shy cat some love! She is definitely going to be my go-to sitter and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Definitely would recommend!!”

About: I worked as a professional dog walker and sitter in San Francisco in 2019. As a huge dog lover, this was a dream come true! I worked for a local company, Citizen Hound, and fell in love with every aspect of the job (and every pup!). I was responsible for two packs of 6-8 dogs who I would pick up/drop off and take for one hour walks every day. Typically these walks would be off leash, at the beach or a park, so I went through extensive training to receive my walking permit. Having grown up with dogs of my own, I understand that dogs are owner's babies, making sure to treat each dog as if they were my own! I sat many of the dogs in my packs as well as other dogs in the company that year. I have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 7 years and therefore have experience walking a variety of dogs. I have sat blind and sick dogs, so I am comfortable with medications as well as other special needs (eye drops, IBS, separation anxiety, etc). When sitting, I love to take dogs on hikes or even to the dog park, with owners permission, to make sure they are getting exercise. I always update owners frequently and send lot of pictures! I miss all of the dogs from my packs and am looking to create new connections with both dogs and owners here in Sacramento. I would prefer to have regular clients, however I am also open to one time walks/sits. Although I am just getting started on Rover in the area, I highly encourage you to look up reviews for Citizen Hound to see the standard of care I expect of myself (: I’m currently enrolled in an online master’s program and am self employed, so my schedule is very open and flexible! I would especially love to help out during the late morning and early afternoon hours while owners are at work/school. My apartment is unfortunately not pet friendly, however I have experience pet sitting in owner’s homes. I have found this to be especially beneficial for dogs who like to stick to their regular routine and surroundings. I love taking dogs on adventures during our sits, with owner permission, and make sure to send frequent updates and photos!
About: Hi! I’m a 21 year old college student at Porterville College and a lifelong animal lover. I live on a country property where I care for horses, chickens, cats, and dogs daily, giving me hands on experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. I offer pet sitting, overnight care, walks, drop-in visits, and boarding for pets that are comfortable around other animals. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like family. With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animal care, you can trust that your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet will always be my priority. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and I'll have plenty of time to provide attention, playtime, exercise, medication administration, and personalized care throughout the day. I live in a peaceful country setting with a cozy home, lots of fresh air, and very little traffic. Your pet is welcome to enjoy the sights, sounds, and enrichment of country life while always being closely supervised. I also understand that every pet is different, and I'm happy to follow your preferences! Whether that means indoor-only care, crate training, a specific routine, or extra one-on-one attention. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels right at home.

“Kristina is a great pet sitter! She is amazing with cats and even had our skittish boy coming out to say hello. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitters.”
“Macee did a wonderful job checking in on my cats while we were out of town for an extended period of time. One cat had a healing cut that I was worried about being unmonitored for so long. Macee was a great communicator before, during, and after her check in and sent numerous pictures to ensure that we were happy with her work and if she needed to do anything more while we were away. I will definitely be using her again in the future and will recommend her to anyone in the area!”
About: Im very good with animals and tending for their needs. When my friends ask for my help I happily agree whether its picking up after them, giving baths, taking them on walks or just playing. I've volunteered at the bark for life in Exeter and helped run the booth, which made me realize how fun it was to see dogs and do something fun with them for a good cause. I really love animals so I always want to do the best, to take care of them as well as make sure they are happy and healthy no matter how big or small. I also have Experience house sitting families dogs. The longest I've house sat for a family friend was around 6 months. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to care of your pets! My schedule is very flex able and I'd love to work around your schedule. Before anything I like to gain the trust of the dog to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me.

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.

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.
