“Jess was amazing! She took great care of my cat and my plants for 6 days. She was very friendly, responsive, and kept me updated while I was away. I came home to a happy cat and everything in perfect shape. I’ll definitely be booking with Jess again in the future!”


About: I've been around animals all my life, especially cats and dogs. I've always had one or the other as a pet and have been trusted to take care of other's pets as well on multiple occasions. Currently unemployed with lots of free time to care for pets anytime of the day or night! I have more than enough time for your pet:) Respect, safety, and comfort are the most important things to me when caring for a pet. I'm also very knowledgeable on cat & dog behavior and care, having had many myself.
“When another pet sitter had a last-minute emergency, Ann swept in and saved the day! She loved our kitties very well (including our cat who takes daily meds). Thank you, Ann!”

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.
“Audrey is the sweetest sitter I have hired! Thank you so much for taking care of my beloved cat. Also for the sweet little Independence Day treat you left in our fridge, how thoughtful! Will definitely work with again!”

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.
“Lexie was kind, very timely, and obviously experienced with dogs (I say this because our dogs can be quite loud which can be off putting to those with no experience to loud, large dogs). She followed instructions to a tee and our dogs immediately got along well. Will definitely reach out again for future pet services!”


“Jessica is awesome! I have a house full and tho she is helping with my puppy, she showed all the pets she was able to see with some love and attention. And even gave my senior dog a much needed rest from the puppy with a nice walk. Would highly recommend.”
About: Hello! I specialize in caring for cats and big dogs, but I love all animals. I especially love cuddly and low energy pets. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets for a few years and now would like to expand my pet sitting services. I currently have two cats and have grown up with dogs as well. I’m a full time college student, currently attending night classes Monday-Wednesday. I’m available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and early afternoon on these days. Scheduling overnights on these days depend on how frequently your pets need check ins. Thursday-Sunday I’m available all day to give your pets the attention they need! Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority. I take the time to get to know your pets and understand what they need from my visit, whether it’s high energy playtime or cuddles and belly rubs.
“Alexandrea dropped in on our 2 big black labs for 3 days while we were traveling. She was always on time and very responsive. I had to add another drop in at the last minute and she was able to help us! I'm very grateful for her hard work and would be happy to use her again.”

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.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for more than 10 years and I’ve had a whole zoo in my house. I’ve had animals from dogs to rabbits to guinea pigs to hamsters. I currently have an 11 year old Akita, Koda, and a 9 year old Pomeranian/Pekingese mix, Gertrude. I worked for 2 years at a local doggy daycare and absolutely loved my time there! I learned a lot about dogs, their behaviors, safety, and just how to be the best caretaker I can be. I just finished up my Associate’s in Environmental Conservation at American River College and am looking to save money for my move to Arcata to attend Cal Poly Humboldt to finish my Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Conservation & Management. I also work part-time as a server. I have a lot of extra time that I would love to fill by helping you and your families out by taking care of your furry loved ones! While I unfortunately do not offer pet sitting services at my house, I would treat my clients home with the respect and cleanliness I expect from a guest in my own home. Whether I’m there for an hour to feed or walk pets or a few days for a house sitting stay, the only sign I was even there would be the fact that your pets were well cared for.
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: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.
“Jasmeen is an amazing cat sitter! She’s lovely and our cats warmed up to her instantly. She made sure to play with both of our cats (one is less enthusiastic about playing) and even taught them a few tricks. She was very communicative with daily updates, and we felt completely at ease while we were away.”


About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕
“Luke has been great with my little baby girl! She got excited seeing Luke in the first visit so I knew she’d love him! Thank you so much for making my weekend away a fun and safe one for my puppy! I hope to book with you again soon!”

“Big thanks to Martha for taking care of my awkward/slightly difficult cats! And for making sure my senior cat got her medicine. She left a detailed account of how her visit went and sent a picture : )”


About: Every month or so I go and house sit for a few weeks at my uncles house and he has 2 big pitbulls while I own a frenchie and used to have a german shepherd and a few other dogs Im currently working part time at safeway but Im always available to come on my lunch or before I go in or after I get off to walk them or feed them or even play for a little bit I have a big fenced off back yard and my dog has a kennel to sleep in with a bed that we leave cracked at night to walk in and out for water and my cats roam the house freely while one is let out when she meows at the door
“Violet kept us updated every step along the way and even came over to meet Milo ahead of time! We felt that Milo was in great hands and it allowed us to enjoy our mini-vacation. 10/10 recommendation for Violet.”

The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Rancho Cordova is $25

Lexie was kind, very timely, and obviously experienced with dogs (I say this because our dogs can be quite loud which can be off putting to those with no experience to loud, large dogs). She followed instructions to a tee and our dogs immediately got along well. Will definitely reach out again for future pet services!

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. Jessica is amazing and we will be using her again.

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.

Our kitten Cookie immediately liked Leah at the meet and greet. It was an easy decision to book her. Leah was on time everyday and provided daily pictures, video and communication was reliable. It was our first time booking pet sitter services and it was a great experience to work with Leah.

Alexandrea dropped in on our 2 big black labs for 3 days while we were traveling. She was always on time and very responsive. I had to add another drop in at the last minute and she was able to help us! I'm very grateful for her hard work and would be happy to use her again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
