About: Hi! I’m Jasmine, new to Rover and currently offering discounted rates while I build my reviews. I provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like my own. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly makes me happy. I have over 20 years of experience, training in pet first aid, and a background in rescue and fostering, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful pups to shy or senior pets who just need a little extra patience and love. At home, I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also offer house sitting and light cleaning, so not only are your pets taken care of, you’ll come home to a tidy, well-looked-after space too. I’m happy to help with things like bringing in mail, keeping things clean, and making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re gone. Expect lots of updates, cute moments, and peace of mind knowing your pets (and home!) are in good hands 💛 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and can easily fit into your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether your pet needs early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, personality, and preferences to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. With experience in pet first aid, rescue, and fostering, I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and always prioritize safety. I’m also respectful of your home and happy to help keep things tidy, bring in mail, and make sure everything is just as you left it, or better, when you return. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets are getting lots of love and attention while you’re away 🐾 I am happy to meet at a coffee shop prior to your booking so you can ensure I'm the right fit!

We had a need of an emergency change in sitters while we were out of town (super stressful!) and Kevin was able to save the day! Amazing communication, great updates and photos, and truly went above and beyond in caring for our pup with walks and cuddles. Very thankful for the care and service provided by Kevin!

I had to take a last minute trip for about a week and luckily Michelle’s schedule was flexible enough to watch my little guy. My dog is super high energy and she was very thorough in exercising him whenever she visited! It was my first time leaving him for that long, but having Michelle watch him eased my worries completely. I know he had a great time playing with her every day! Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my own family dogs and being responsible for feeding them, letting them out, playing with them, and making sure they were taken care of while I was home. As I got older, I started pet sitting for friends and family and eventually for people I didn’t know personally as well. I’ve also helped my friend Jade with her pet-sitting clients and have watched pets for a previous manager. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I typically work morning shifts and am usually done with work by 12pm at the latest, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. My schedule can vary week to week, but I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love.

Mo was awesome. She was comfortable and patient while caring for my oversized Doberman. He can be intimidating and selective at times with people but Mo was confident and addressed him in a way that gained his trust. They quickly became good friends and Doobie was happy and excited to see Mo when she came over to play and feed him. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. And I will definitely rehire her for any future trips I may take. I feel lucky tonhave found such a great sitter!!

About: I have had animals all my life - and they are always treated like family! I know how difficult it is to trust your pets care to someone. I will care for your animals like they were my own. Happy to send photos and updates from each visit! My schedule is flexible and I can work around your preferred schedule. I can visit once or twice a day, depending on your animals needs. I will care for your animals exactly how you want. I like to take details notes about each animal's likes, dislikes and needs. I am comfortable working with animals that have special or restricted diets. I will spend a lot of 1:1 time with each animal so each gets the attention they need and want

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rio Linda on Rover is $17.76 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 4,000 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rio Linda. 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 Rio Linda 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 Rio Linda. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
