“Adara is a wonderful sitter! Her communication was stellar. Our cats are messy eaters, so I especially appreciate how she cleaned up after them every visit. I would definitely rebook and recommend her to others.”

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 have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I have walked dogs of all sizes and breeds, including both trained and untrained dogs. I am comfortable caring for pets with special needs and have experience giving medications to sick pets. As a proud Golden Retriever owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, medication, or extra care, I am dedicated to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently waiting for college enrollment. As I prepare for college, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their regular routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, companionship, and lots of attention. I can also administer medications if needed and make sure the home stays clean and tidy. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and care. I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest, stick to their feeding schedule, and get the attention they need throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photos and updates throughout the day so you can see all the fun activities, walks, playtime, and cuddles your pup is enjoying.

I have 3 acres of land and 2 energetic dogs, I feed and give water to them daily. I also take them to run the yard daily. I have 4 cats which one is my personal cat, I feed and give water daily ( clean litter box every 2 days).

About: Over the past 5 years, I've been providing dog walking and dog sitting services. My general duties include feeding, walking, playing with, and administering medication to dogs. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines that each dog may have. I’m currently working part and I am a full time student. I work 3-4 days a week from 3AM-11:30AM. I make openings in my schedule for any work or help needed necessary. Additionally, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have been walking and feeding a now grown up puppy named Mia for about 3 and a half years now. I make sure to schedule time for feeding, walking, and playing with the dog that I care for. I always keep a close eye on each dog's behavior and health to ensure that they are happy and healthy. I care for pets in the clients home making sure they are fed and have easy access to food and water. I also closely follow the instructions their owners have left for me. I would typically make sure the pet did not use the bathroom in the house/area the pet is. If I were to board a pet at my home I’d make sure my dog is in a friendly mood to interact and I would make sure the clients pet is safe and fed the correct food.

About: Your pup will love the fact that he/she can run and play and get one on one attention. I love to take care of pets and know just how to make your pets day fun and stimulating so when they come home they can be the warm fuzzy friend you love! I am a stay at home mom so I have open availability. Did I mention I take hikes?!? Yep that's right folks...a dog sitter that will actually take your fur baby on an adventure when you're at work! I personally have been training pups since I was 15 years old, so that will be a part of the daily activities. If your fur baby has special needs that is fine too! My mom and I have been involved with Muttville for years! Pittbull and other (“aggressive”) breeds 110% welcome!! I use that term EXTREMELY LOOSELY! I will host any breed of dog, I do not believe it is the dogs breeding that causes aggression or biting. Most times it is just inexperience on the humans part or fear on the dogs part. Feel confident bringing your pup to stay with me, I monitor all activity and continue to reinforce your training expectations while you’re away.

About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!

About: This is my first time working to take care of animals. I have had fur babies my whole adult life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats. I have a cat and a dog right now I’m retired so no work to worry about. I’m available almost anytime and it would be easy to work around your schedule. Thank you for the privilege I would love to watch animals in my home but I have a small place and a pit bull and a son living with me right now. I would care for your fur baby like I care for my own

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: My earliest memories in my childhood include animals. I have always had animals in my home, of different species and sizes. I’ve always enjoyed having animas in my home it was something to look forward to. We have two cats in my home, so our daily routine consists of waking up early to feed our cats and going by their schedule, playing with them throughout the day, loving and hanging out with them, and making sure their groomed. In my home our cats have their own spaces away from each other while also having a shared space that is their cat tower. They also have lots of toys and food & water accessible to them at every hour.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Rancho Murieta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rancho Murieta is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,947 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rancho Murieta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Murieta. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
