“Ashlin took good care of our cat while we went on vacation. We received pictures every visit and felt confident she was in good hands. She was thorough with good questions during the meet and greet. We will be using her services in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my world. I’ve raised my own dogs from 8 weeks old, giving me lots of experience with training, routines, and all the puppy stages. I also spent years house-sitting and pet-sitting, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home part-time, which allows me plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles throughout the day. I’m consistent with feeding, potty breaks, and attention, making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while maintaining a steady routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I can provide reliable, loving attention that fits perfectly into your pet’s schedule. I provide loving, attentive care for pets right in the comfort of their own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keeping up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure your home stays safe, clean, and secure while you’re away, giving you peace of mind. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines.
About: I've taken care of cats for 30 years and have always loved all Animals, even those that many are scared of. I take the care of Pets very seriously to ensure they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. It's a tailored experience because no two Animals are alike. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can easily check in on Cats throughout the day, 7 days a week. I do not travel during holidays, I stay home with my own Cat and Dog so I am available for all the major and minor holidays. I do have my own Cat and Dog but I would not bring either on trips to care for a Client's Cat. The safety and comfort of a Client's cat in their own home while their parents are away is the most important part of this process.
“Kayla has watched Zephyr a couple of times and did an amazing job! I am so thankful to have someone I trust with my dog when I can’t be home. She follows all routines and is very caring!”
“Kyla was amazing! She and our dog, Riley, got along really well. She was very attentive to Riley’s needs and was very quick to update us with any news! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. 10/10 would recommend”

Im looking to make extra money on the side to save up for my wedding, and it truly brings me joy that I can do that, while doing something that Comes so naturally to me, aka loving them cats:) Im extremely affectionate and also careful with my own two babies. I love all cats like my own, and understand that being careful around them and for them is key
“Ian did a great job looking after my kitties! They have very distinct personalities and I feel like he understood each of them. I really appreciated how he took the time to play with them and gave them attention :)”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I genuinely love animals! I've spent the past 5 years caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, including shy, energetic, anxious, and reactive pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just having someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they need! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I'm big on communication and will gladly send pictures and updates throughout our time together so you know your furry family member is doing well. I'm also comfortable with house sitting, following detailed instructions, and respecting your home and your pet's normal routine. I don't mind cameras in shared spaces, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐶🐱🧡 I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! 🐾 I do have a full-time job, but I have flexibility with my schedule and can make adjustments ahead of confirmed bookings. I primarily offer house sitting and dog walking. For overnight stays, I'm happy to stay in a guest room if one is available! Since I live in Orangevale, I'm also open to arranging visits throughout the day and returning to my own home at night, depending on your pet's needs. I'm always happy to talk through expectations and schedules before confirming a booking to make sure we're a great fit! I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! 🐾 For dogs, a typical day might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of attention and cuddles. If they're comfortable in public spaces and their owner approves, I'm happy to take them to a nearby park for some extra outdoor time! For cats, I love interactive playtime with their favorite toys, giving them pets when they're in the mood, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. I always adjust activities based on each pet's energy level, personality, and routine. Whether they're full of energy or prefer a relaxing day, I'm happy to match their vibe!
“Sloane was amazing! I was out of town for a few days with no cell service and I came back to a full report from each day, several pictures of my cat playing, and a very happy cat! She even gave him his ear drops each day, which he hates and is difficult to do. I am so grateful for her care and attention to my cat while I was gone!”
About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, so I am very used to being around them. I love dogs but I do feel I have a close affinity with cats more. Either way they are both great to love on. I'm currently working from home right now so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur kids. I'm currently available whenever needed as long as its reasonable, and of course schedules will change the more work I take on. We have a big fenced backyard for any animals to run around it. And a dog a 2 cats that are totally fine around others. Especially the dog who would love any new friend.
About: I'm an animal enthusiast and will love your pets as my own. They are family and will be cared for as such. A happy healthy pet is my goal. ♡ I work part-time now, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so now my availability is Thursday through Saturday. I'll consider Sundays on an as needed basis. I'm a walker and I have a Great Pyrenees mix, Riker, who loves to come with me as well. I have a large fenced in backyard. I never leave my pets unattended, they are always underfoot and well cared for. Happy trails, happy tails.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and even a bunny! I’ve also cared for neighbors’ pets, including both big and small dogs and cats. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, providing playtime and companionship, giving pets plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their families are away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m currently a student at Sacramento State and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so my availability is more limited during late mornings through early evenings on those days. I also have a baby, so I may need to coordinate visits around his schedule or most likely bring him with me to services with animals who are ok with kiddos. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work with each family to find a schedule that works well for everyone! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, follow their owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, food, and fresh water. I’ll also keep their space clean and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for!
“You can tell Reginay loves animals. She is very patient and works with your pet to make sure they are comfortable. Very communicative and will send pictures and videos throughout the day. Toni loves his stays there. 🥰”
“Stephanie was so great with our kitties!! Very attentive and consistent with sending photos, asking questions, and made sure to check all items on the checklist while still setting aside play time with our babies 🙂 We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for 8 years and truly love spending time with pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet-care needs. I’m reliable with scheduling and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and will follow their normal routines and your specific instructions. I’m respectful of your home, keep pets supervised, and provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“I worry tons about my poocie because she came from an abusive situation, so I am super cautious with who I let around here. From the very start Jade was outstanding. She was understanding, intelligent and extremely keen to Pua and even CB (my cat whom she was even responsible for looking ater). Great, wonderful, outstanding, amazing. Only person I will ever let watch my poochie.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for around 20 years, starting when I was about 8 or 9 years old watching neighbors’ homes and animals while they were out of town. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets for family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and acquaintances. What sets me apart is my experience with pets who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for special-needs and senior animals, including dogs with deafness, blindness, and medical routines. I’m comfortable administering medication, eye drops, and IV fluids when given clear instructions. I also have experience with dogs of different sizes, from small and medium dogs to larger breeds like German Shepherds and Labs. I’m gentle, reliable, detail-oriented, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, medically fragile, or just happiest with consistency, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a Program Aide at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which leaves me available for early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many overnight house-sitting needs. Because I have a cat at home, pet care is already part of my everyday life. Feeding schedules, litter box care, fresh water, medication routines, playtime, and quiet companionship are all things I’m used to building my day around. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially cats, senior pets, anxious pets, and pets with special needs. My schedule works especially well for clients who need dependable check-ins before or after work, afternoon care, evening visits, or overnight house sitting. I’m reliable, routine-oriented, and careful about keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and routine are my biggest priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely so their pet’s normal routine stays as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay attention to feeding schedules, medication instructions, litter boxes, walks, water, playtime, quiet time, and any special rules for the home. I treat every home with respect and care. I’m mindful about locking doors, securing gates, keeping food and medications out of reach, cleaning up after pets, and leaving the space the way I found it. I also keep an eye out for changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or mood, especially with senior pets or pets with medical needs. Because I have experience with special-needs animals, I understand how important patience and consistency can be. I’m comfortable caring for pets who are shy, anxious, elderly, blind, medically fragile, or simply need extra reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind through clear communication and updates.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for about 13 years. I have taken care of mostly big dogs and cats but I’ve also taken care of turtles and fish I am currently working part-time however I have weekends off and I am available some days of the week so I am available almost every weekend to watch your animals! I enjoys taking animals for walk and cuddling with them in general. I love to see the playful side of animals and will play with them to their hearts content.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
