“Deanna was wonderful!!! Couldn’t recommend her enough. We left for a week and when we got home our dogs were happy as can be, that tells me everything I need to know :) we were sent lots of pictures and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. Would definitely book with her again!!”
“We have never had anyone stay at our house with our animals before, so the idea of leaving them with a complete stranger was very daunting. Sydney was absolutely wonderful with our two big, rambunctious dogs (2 year old huskies) and four cats. Our house was exactly as we left it and she sent lots of updates so we could see everyone’s sweet faces and how much fun they were having without us! She was terrific about updating us when she got here and letting us know how everything was going. She was always very responsive through the whole process, and it was very clear our animals were all comfortable and enjoying their normal routine with her. We will absolutely have Sydney back, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Melissa was wonderful with our boys. She was in regular contact with us the entire time and sent us pictures as well. This was our 1st time with Rover.com and it was a great experience. Thank you Melissa for being so great!”
“You can tell Benjamin really care about your fur babies. One of our cats can be a little bit difficult to deal with when it comes to eating his food but Benjamin went out of his way to accommodate his needs. Highly recommended!”
“Jae took excellent care of Ginny. We had an unexpected delay with the CrowdStrike travel delays and Jae was able to extend an extra day. Plenty of photos of Ginny, very respectful of our home and excellent communication. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats before for friends and family, I also take care of my own! They’re my whole world! Your fur babies are my top priority I currently work at Sutter Health 4-5 days a week, I am able to care for your fur babies before & after work. I’m almost always available weekends 24/7! I will always make sure there are no windows / doors open or unlocked so your pets cannot get out. Along with making sure no food is accessible for them to get into easily.
“Tanya watched my two Alaskan Klee Kais while I had to attend an event for a couple of hours. I reached out to her on a short notice but she agreed to watch them while I was out. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates throughout the day, which I greatly appreciated! Both of my dogs have separation anxiety and I could tell they both felt safe, loved, and at ease under Tanya’s care. She made sure to let them out in the backyard frequently to do their business and gave them lots of pets and attention. By the end of the stay, my timid dog had became friends with her. I definitely look forward to booking with Tanya again in the near future!”
“I entrusted my two pets Lia and Riley to Piper and she simply gave them great care. I have never left them alone this long before and they were not stressed out at all. Piper sent me picks and videos of them while I was on vacation. This was fantastic to see them all getting along. My plane arrived late and I miss my connection. I asked if she could stay a little long and she did. This was a great help. She also cleaned and vacumed the house before she left. Piper is someone you can trust be somfrotable that she will take good care of pets and take of your house as well. From my heart, thank you so much Piper.”
“Our pup was so comfy with Megan. He normally is so anxious and loses his appetite when we go on trips, and that wasn’t an issue at all with Megan! He was so taken care of and comfortable. The constant updates of pictures of walks and his normal routine made us feel at ease. She’s the best. Would 100% recommend her.”
“I was thrilled with the gentle care Myung provided for our mixed-pack of dogs while we had a family reunion trip. I was confident that the dogs, with their various personalities and needs, were in good hands. I appreciated the communication while we were gone, and the house was in perfect shape when we returned.”
About: Hi I am Miranda I have been housesitting for people for over 6 years. I have cared for all kind of animals. I had 2 dogs growing up and I also have a tortoise! I have always grown up around animals whether that be my own or the people around me. I started housesitting for people a little over 6 years ago. I love watching and caring for dogs or any animals that you may have. I always make sure that any dogs I care for are loved on and cared for in the best way I know how and just like they are my own pets! I have years of experience in giving medicine to animals. Hi I’m currently work part time in the mornings from 9-1! I’m available 7 days a week to care for your pets whether that be drop in visits, walks, or housesitting at your home. I currently do not offer boarding as I live with my parents but I am more than happy to come to your house and take care of pets. I make sure that your pets are well loved on. Not only do I watch after your pets, I make sure that your house is well taken care of whether that is watering plants, picking up after your dog in the yard, or picking up any mail.
About: I have had experience in dog sitting and walking puppies! I have always wanted a dog but just do not have the room for it at home so pet sitting for friends has always been something I have loved doing! Currently, I am working part-time and I am a college student. However, my shifts are never longer than 4 hours. My services are available all week! I make sure to care for pets with as much love as I can! Seeing a stranger come into your home can be daunting so I try to be as graceful as possible when meeting and interacting with the clients pets!
“Alexandra was amazing! She exceeded our expectations for communication, attention to detail, and care of our pets and home. Even our feral kitty let her pet him! We will definitely ask her to housesit for us again!”
“Stephanie is extremely professional and communicative! She expressed genuine concern and gathered our needs for our dog and our dog’s needs and habits. After just our first housesit, she is highly reliable and we would love to book her any time!”
“Alexis was great! She was available for a last minute quick trip and was able to make time to come over and meet my dog and go over everything before I left. I came home to a happy and healthy little boy with no issues at all!”
About: Before you read further I would like to be up front I have only had two previous pet sitting gigs and various pet walking gigs that combined equal a bit less than a year but I’m still learning and want to try my hardest. Each person is unique and so is are their furry friends so I’m prepared to learn what works best for you and your pet. Though I may have little experience with pet sitting as a job I grew up with dogs of all sizes from a Siberian husky wolf mix to a tiny chihuahua. And of course I can’t forget about my current companions Bella my cat and Chaos my bearded dragon. No matter what animal I am more than willing to learn and adapt to you and your pets needs. Im a college student, so my schedule is a bit odd. On Mondays and Wednesday I’m available from 6-9am depending and 2pm-7am for house sitting, walks and drop ins. On Tuesday’s and Thursdays I am available any time after 3pm. However during weekends and holidays I will be available 24 hours. I have two pets of my own a bearded dragon and a cat, I have been around various pets my entire life from dogs to birds. I currently have two pets a cat and a reptile both of which have a feeding schedule, my cat free roams the house and has various toys to keep her busy and my bearded dragon is allowed ample time out of his enclosure to hang out and chill with me.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, dogs, cats, small pets and I’m known for being calm, patient, and detail-oriented. I specialize in in-home care so your pet stays relaxed in their familiar space. I’m comfortable with seniors, puppies, and anxious or shy pets, and I follow your routines exactly (feeding, meds, potty schedule, exercise). My schedule allows me plenty of time for quality pet care! I’m available most mornings and evenings. I do work part time and have my kids week on week off so between work and kids I make time for pet walks and pet care when I have my kids. When I don't have my kids, I have more available hours and can-do house sitting locally in the placer county area. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously and always treat your space with respect. I follow your routines exactly ~ meals, walks, meds, and bedtime ~ so your pets feel calm and secure while you’re away. I keep everything tidy, lock up carefully, and provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your home and pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away completely worry-free.
“Valeria & Kevin are the best! Seriously, they take such good care of our fur babies! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my pets with anyone in the past. They send so many pics and updates and give my pets so much attention.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and have been raising my own for the past 18 years. I take a gentle approach to new pets and love them as if they were my own. No animal is too big, too old or too shy to deserve to be cared for as their owners would. I’m currently working part time as a nanny so I have plenty of free time to walk your dogs, change your litter box and play with your fur babies. I care for each and every one of your pets as if they were my own. I have a calm demeanor and do not stress easily. I can administer medication and provide basic first aid to pets. All of my services are offered in the pets own home where they are most comfortable.
About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up and I’ve always had so much love and care for these animals! My family and friends always ask me specifically if they are out of town to care for their dogs because they know I will spread my love and care for their own dogs. Everyone in my family says I should pursue a career that involves animals because of my deep care and passion for them! For example, one time I was walking by someone walking their dog and the dog started to come up to me and say hi, the dog owners were in shock and said their dog NEVER comes up to people like that and “I must have a special touch with dogs”. When I am older I want at least 10 dogs because they bring so much light and love into my life! I attend Sierra College Tuesdays and thursdays from 11am-5pm so I am available anytime before and/or after that. I also work part time with a pretty flexible schedule so I could come before and after work. I am also available to stay for house sitting any day of week! I unfortunately am unable to care for other peoples pets in my own home due to living in an apartment (I still make sure my dog is cared for with her as my number one priority with walking, food, and water), but for other people’s pets in their homes, I will make sure to follow all instructions and make sure their pet gets the exceptional care they deserve!

This is the 2nd time we’ve booked with Deanna & once again SHE IS FANTASTIC!! Her communication is great, she’s very attentive to our pup, super respectful of our home. & leaves everything clean & tidy! We could not be happier to have found her on Rover! We will be booking with her again soon!!!
Mia was absolutely amazing with Bella! Bella experiences anxiety during the first few days that I’m away, and Mia truly went above and beyond to make sure she received the extra love, attention, and care she needed. She made sure Bella was never home alone for too long and even took time during her lunch breaks to check on her. Mia also sent me daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Bella was happy, loved, and doing well while I was away. It is clear that Mia genuinely cares about the animals she watches and treats them as if they were her own\. I am eternally grateful for the incredible care she gave Bella and could not recommend her more highly\. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile for your pet, Mia is the one\! Bella and I are so lucky to have found her!
One of the two best sitters we've ever had, over decades. Our mini-Aussie and cat loved her from her from the start. At our request, she kept in touch each day of our six day trip, with updates and pictures of our dog and cat. She also watered our large garden every day. Our washing machine actually died just before our trip, sending water all over the laundry floor. She continued to clean up the overflow water and coordinated and supervised the plumber's visit! (It could have been a very anxious distraction on our trip - but thanks to Piper, it wasn't.) We'll be reaching out to Piper for our next trip - and we hope she's free! R&P, Santa Rosa
Belinda watched our dog, Winston, for a week and she did a great job. He's a bit anxious and we appreciated how thoughtful and kind she was to him that week. She did a great job to make things as stress-free as possible for him and us! She was super communicative throughout the week with updates which we really appeciated. I will definitely be requesting her services again the next time we go away.
Sophia was amazing My dogs were treated as if they were her own She has a Natural gift as both my dogs related to her immediately She was very prompt in arrival and extremely courteous and kind by sending us photos while we were gone and keeping us abreast of every situation We trusted her 100% with our home and our dogs and we couldn’t be happier I highly recommend her as she is probably one of the best dog sitters you might find
Jessica is an excellent and conscientious pet sitter. She cared for my needy dog and elderly cat with love and compassion. The house was kept in pristine condition, even though it rained a lot of her visit (no muddy paw tracks left behind!). I highly recommend her and would definitely have her back.
Linzi and her family were wonderful hosts to my dogs Lucy and Georgie! Linzi sent me pictures just about daily of the dogs exploring their property and/or hanging out with the fam, and it was clear my pups were loving their visit - plus they got along great with their dogs! Very highly recommend and will definitely call on them in the future
Taylor was incredible. She took exceptional care of our dog, Blu, and our home while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind, and it was obvious how much love and attention she gave him. Blu was so happy to see us, but we could tell he had an amazing time with her. She left the house spotless, was communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. We’d gladly have her back anytime and can’t recommend her highly enough. If you have the chance to book her—do it.
Kiara was wonderful! Our regular sitter cancelled last minute and she was able to watch our house and 95 lb German Shepherd with less than a week’s notice. She was prompt in her replies and provided us pictures and updates throughout our vacation. When we got back our house was tidy and our dog was happy, definitely recommend her!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rocklin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rocklin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rocklin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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