About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a Husky, Rottweiler, and Pit Bull mix. 🐶❤️ Living with three very different dogs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with energetic, strong, playful, and sometimes stubborn personalities! I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I treat every pup with the same patience, care, and attention I give my own. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some exercise and playtime, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise while they’re in my care. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have three dogs of my own, so I’m used to keeping up with regular walks, feeding, exercise, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I enjoy staying active with my dogs and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable fitting pet care into my daily schedule and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I’m used to providing daily exercise, feeding, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and supervision. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their specific instructions and routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special needs. I also make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and getting the individual attention they need. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and leave everything clean and tidy.

This was our first time using Ann, and she was amazing! She was very responsive and arrived right on time for our meet and greet. When our travel plans changed, she quickly adjusted the dates without any issue. Ann followed all of our directions perfectly and kept us updated throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommended! We are booking another trip with her now!

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I have 2 pups and have taken care of dogs for friends and family for years. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies and everything in between. I can handle tough walkers, energetic pups, medication management and crate training. Im flexible and available to meet beforehand so you can feel comfortable leaving your dog in my care. I took a break from Rover last year but now I have a house with a fully fenced yard in West Sacramento! As a UC Davis student and full time employee, I understand that times are hard and pricing can be an issue, let's chat if you need flexibility. I am always willing to work with my clients. I currently have open availability to care for your pups needs! Walks, belly rubs, playtime and photo updates are included. Your dogs will be treated like family. On Monday, Wednesdays & Fridays I work half days from home. Please message me directly to ensure Doggy Day Care times work for both of us, morning vs afternoons depend on work meetings. On weekends I work virtually. I am available for boarding &house sitting made in advance. I have two dogs that can keep yours company if need be. I can handle finicky eaters, leash agression and medication requirements as needed. I have crates available as well if that is your preference or you are in the process of crate training.

About: I’m generally great with animals and I’ve been a cat mom for 3 years now so I’m quite good at making sure a pet is taken care of. I go the extra mile. And follow directions pretty well. Just finished pet CPR training. I’m relatively flexible but prefer to work in the morning because my other job is at night. Totally free Sundays. I have class Thursday evenings right now and I’m usually at the gun range Saturdays but all other days of the week, I’m flexible. I do a bit of traveling but I will block off those days or I’ll let you know if I’m not available on your requested days. Just let me know ahead of time and I’ll let you know of if I can accommodate your request. I prefer texting via the app as much as possible. I make sure to respect your cat’s space and that their needs are met. I feed pets as instructed. Give treats as necessary. Make sure they have adequate water.

About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.

Joining Rover and meeting Audrey has changed our life. We struggle to find someone consistent to come into our home feed our fish and bring the mail in. Audrey was amazing. She arrived when she said she would. She took the best photos ever and kept us updated and in communication along the way. She even went above and beyond; watering some plants, bringing in the mail, bringing in the packages, feeding the outside birds and communicating on fish tank water levels. I highly recommend Audrey and we will definitely be using her every time we go on vacation from here forward. She was so sweet. She even left us a goodie care package that we received when we got home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over neighbors’ and others’ animals, including dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, and cats. I’ve also had cats of my own since I was 8—four in total—and currently care for two on my own. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my ability to connect with animals, especially those that take time to warm up to new people. I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s recognizing subtle body language, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I work full-time as a nanny for young children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months). This experience has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to balance multiple responsibilities at once—skills that also translate into pet care. I’m experienced in maintaining structured routines, ensuring safety, and providing comfort, which makes me well-equipped to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering not just basic care but also companionship and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at ease while you’re away! I will have to go home to feed and spend some time with my two kitties, Pumpkin & Hazelnut, but I also always find time to spend time with your pets as well. Some days I work in the afternoon/evening, and some I work during the day. My work schedule is listed below. Monday 4-8pm, Tuesday 8-3:30, Wednesday 1-8pm, Thursday 8-3:30, Friday 8-3:30 I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment. Every pet is different, so I follow your specific routines, guidelines, and house rules to keep things as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, or medication needs, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort while respecting your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take extra care to follow any instructions you provide, from home security measures to special pet needs. I also keep you updated with messages, photos, or check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.

About: Hi, I'm Becca! By day, I am a full time teacher, and in the evening I love hanging out with dogs! Animals have been one of my greatest passions since childhood, and I have spent my entire life caring for my furry friends. I am currently saving up for my upcoming wedding by doing what I love most: making sure your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you are away! Experienced with dogs of all ages. Can administer basic medications such as pills and injections. While I spend my mornings and early evening teaching I am available most days after 6pm. Most Weekdays and major holidays are typically available. Same day bookings are more than welcome. I pride myself in safety and privacy. I have been a teacher for 9 years and have experience making sure up to 38 humans are safe and taken care of at one time. I treat pets no less than I would treat a student.

About: Your pet’s new favorite person! I’m a reliable, gentle, and patient sitter who treats every fur baby like family.

You can relax knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily life. I’m available 7 days a week and make sure each pet gets individualized attention, play, exercise, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow the pet’s normal routine as the owner requests. In the home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean litter or potty breaks, playtime, and calm companionship. I always respect the home, keep spaces tidy, and send daily updates so the owner feels connected and confident.

I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own.

About: I've had cats as part of my family my entire life, and I currently have a flame-point Siamese who keeps me on my toes every day. Caring for him has given me firsthand experience with understanding feline behavior, respecting routines, and recognizing that every cat has a unique personality. In addition to caring for cats, I have experience house sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else's care, so I'll treat both with the same respect and attention I give my own. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind! I am currently a DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) student with Hawaii Pacific University. It is a hybrid program which means I'll be on zoom meetings from 10:30am - 3:00pm Monday - Friday but I'll have plenty of time during those meetings/ after to care for your animals. Besides working opening shifts from 4:30am-10am 3 days a week at a fitness studio, I am available to be wherever I'm needed as the zoom calls can be flexible on location! I don't have space to house animals at my apartment but I am always happy to stay at a clients home overnight or check-in on a daily basis as needed.

Jessica was wonderful and extremely professional. When our original sitter canceled a week before our trip, we reached out to Jessica for twice daily drop ins and she was able to save the day! She was so responsive and communicative. Both Pilot and Sky were comfortable around her which made us comfortable to leave them alone for the weekend.

Sarah demonstrates exceptional professionalism in pet care. She graciously accepted my last-minute reservation during the holiday season, and I am deeply appreciative of her assistance. During our final meet-and-greet, she provided me with a comprehensive overview of the Rover platform. Her thorough updates were invaluable. Notably, when I inadvertently missed her call regarding a question, she demonstrated remarkable self-sufficiency in making appropriate decisions. Furthermore, she went above and beyond to ensure Lilo’s well-being during a power outage in my area, bringing in packages left at my doorstep. I eagerly anticipate continuing this partnership with Sarah on Rover.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rancho Cordova on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,087 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rancho Cordova. 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 Rancho Cordova 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.

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.
