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!

Jessica was very reliable and took good care of my two kitties. She took lots of pictures during each visit so I could see my little ones while away. I can tell she really cares and takes pride in her work with animals.

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: I’ve been caring for animals for over 13 years and have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, bearded dragons, a chameleon, and a turtle. I cared for my own dog throughout their life until they recently passed away, giving me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and responsibility that goes into caring for a pet. 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. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Im currently working part time and have weekends full open! Weekdays I am ready to care for your furry friend anytime before 9am and after 1pm. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care they need. I always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep your home clean and respected during every visit. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat lover, and I’ve cared for pets from their youngest, most rambunctious years to wise seniors needing slower days. One of my own dogs started out extremely anxious, so I’m also experienced with shy or nervous pets who need calm, gentle care, and maybe a few treats to help the process along ;) I'm also up to raise my heartrate a little jogging, going on long walks, or playing tug-of-war with younger bubs who want a bit more excitement. What I Can Do for Your Pets: - Handle larger/stronger pups (my own are both pitties with lots of energy that I walk on a dual-lead leash) - Administer meds & monitor health - Long walks, playtime, and enrichment fun - Puppy, kitten, and senior care - Multi-pet household management - Work through reactivity & behavior support - Build trust and confidence in nervous pets I’d love to give your pets the same patient, loving care I give my own! Hope to hear from you soon :) I work remotely with flex-time, so my schedule is quite adaptable. I can make most times work to bring the best care to your babies! I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. In past experiences watching friends' animals, following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications has helped them feel secure and well cared for. I give shy or anxious pets plenty of space and patience, avoiding overwhelm and encouraging a calm and confidence in their space. Despite how well we try to prepare ourselves, I know leaving your furry friends in the care of relative strangers can be an emotionally taxing experience. That's why I really enjoy keeping pet parents updated with notes and pictures about walks, play, meals, and behavior, so they can relax knowing their pets are happy and loved. I also enjoy taking dogs on long walks around neighborhoods, local parks, or even along the river, fitting into whatever their routine is or you as the owner would like it to be, of course. My own dogs and I have been working through their reactivity training with a clicker and training treats. I'm no expert, but they have come a long way since we started! If you have a reactive dog, rest easy knowing this isn't new to me and that I'm willing to work with them and follow your lead on whatever it is they need in those moments. Regardless of their background, every pet in my care gets patience, love, and a reassuring presence <3

About: Hi! I’m pursuing my bachelors in environmental science at UW, but in the meantime I’m hoping that this will help bring me experience! I’m in Rancho Cordova area for the summer, so book with me if you need a reliable and responsible pet sitter! I currently do not work, but I am looking for opportunities to! But because of my free schedule it allows me just that much more time to work and play with your pets! My senior dog has her special diets that I help her out with, and I always make sure that she is comfortable and using the bathroom, because it has become harder for her to know when. I have my own leash but because I have a smaller dog you may be more comfortable with providing one.

About: Hi, I'm Anna! I am a passionate, highly trained animal lover dedicated to giving your pet the safest and most fun experience possible. Since March, I have been an active volunteer with the Sacramento SPCA, where I have completed intensive online courses and hands-on, in-person training in canine behavior, body language, and socialization. I am fully certified to handle and walk the shelter's Green and Orange color-coded dogs. Because of my training and reliability, the SPCA also trusts me with their Foster Furlough program for their highest-need Pink color-coded dogs. This means I regularly take these advanced-level dogs out of the shelter environment for day trips and overnight stays in my home to give them a break. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, structured socialization, or just an attentive and loving overnight companion, I know exactly how to read their body language and keep them safe in real-world situations. I have a very flexible part-time schedule, my own reliable vehicle for check-ins, and a deep commitment to following your exact house rules and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I don’t work so I’m home pretty much all time unless I’m running errands. I’m available Tuesday-sat to come and help out with your babies!! I have a fenced yard but always prefer to watch them while there going potty or playing! I’d also be able to crate them if needed:)

About: I have over fourteen years of experience taking care of dogs. I love getting to know each dog and having a good time especially on a river walk. I work full-time. 2 days in office, 3 days from home. The days I work in office, I drive home during lunch to provide potty breaks. I make sure each dog is comfortable. I have several dog bed locations throughout the apartment upstairs and downstairs and several water bowls. I have a dog crate for those that have crate trained dogs. Most pet owners bring a blanket or something else for the dog to lay on. The dogs have access to a large living room and the entire bottom floor.

I have experience with animals small and large, kittens and pups to elderly dogs, I even used to have chickens! I will be able to accommodate you and your pets needs, whether they are active, mellow, or on medication. I have plenty of time to take care of your furbabies, whether they are active or mellow, our day would suit whatever their needs may be! I have experience in taking dogs to events, farmer's markets, parks, hikes, adoption events so whether they are active and into sight seeing or just a chill day at home and around the neighborhood is perfect.

Information about their personality and behaviors will be very helpful in knowing how best to treat your furry friend.

About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up in Utah, I cared for a wide variety of pets including bearded dragons, snakes, parrots, chickens, dogs, and cats. That hands on experience taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of different animals. When it comes to dogs, I am comfortable with all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds. I bring patience, genuine love, and a calm energy that pets respond well to As a freelancer, my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time and attention to dedicate to your pets. I am not tied to a traditional 9 to 5, which means I can provide consistent check ins, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your furry loved ones will never feel like an afterthought. Pet safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I come from a family of animal lovers, several of whom also pet sit, and I even have family members who work in a veterinary office. That means I have a strong support system and reliable resources if any questions or concerns come up. Whether I am caring for pets in your home or mine, I bring a friendly, kind, and attentive approach. You can count on me to be communicative, dependable, and genuinely invested in your pet's happiness and wellbeing.

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a little kid! I had my first dog at 9 years old and she’s still with me today, my sweet, little cockapoo, Sakura! I’ve had years of experience, raising Sakura and watching over my own family’s dogs from time to time. Recently, my husband and I welcomed Yuki into our lives, a friendly and energetic labrador retriever. It’s been amazing to see how well he gets along with Sakura and other dogs he meets at the park. Training skills I have acquired are potty training, crate training, various commands, and leash training. Excited to meet your fur babies!! I am a full time grad student, so I have the flexibility of being available during my break from classes! I am mainly available Monday-Thursdays after 1pm & Fridays-Sundays all day! I will meet your pets’ physical and mental stimulation through walks and play time. I will make sure they are well fed, have plenty of water, take them outside for potty breaks, and give them lots of snuggles!!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rancho Cordova

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rancho Cordova on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,205 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rancho Cordova. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
