About: I’ve always been a people person and an animal lover! I enjoy getting to know new people and their furry friends, and animals tend to warm up to me pretty quickly! I have experience caring for both big and small dogs, as well as a kitten, and I’ve loved getting to know all their different personalities. I’m a friendly, patient, and responsible college student who loves making connections with both people and animals. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, or just keeping your pet company, I want them to feel happy, comfortable, and loved! I also know how important it is to feel connected to your pets while you’re away, so you can definitely expect regular updates, cute pictures, and little check-ins from me! I want you to feel just as comfortable with me as your pet does. My goal is to make pet care a fun, positive, and stress-free experience for everyone involved! 🐾 I’m currently a Psychology student at Sacramento State, where I balance school, a part-time job, and extracurricular activities! Although my weekdays are pretty structured, I still have time to fit pet care into my routine. I’m generally available on Mondays and Wednesdays after 5:00 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays during select breaks or later in the evening, and Fridays after 1:30 PM. My weekends are much more flexible, with availability throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays! I’m great at managing my time and planning ahead, so I’ll always make sure I have enough time to give your furry friends the attention they deserve! Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some quality playtime, I’d love to make pet care part of my week. 🐾 I currently offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home, since I’m unable to host pets in my own home! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, so I do my best to keep them happy in the environment they’re already familiar with. I always make sure to follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special routines their pets may have. I’m also big on keeping things clean, organized, and making sure your home is treated with respect! I love giving pets plenty of attention and affection, but I also understand that every animal has their own personality and boundaries. You can expect regular updates, cute pictures, and check-ins from me so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing! My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. 🐾💕
“Maddison (aka Rose) did a great job with our dogs and house! She kept in touch with us while we were gone, kept the dogs entertained, held a fish funeral, and left us with more Its-Its in the freezer than we started with. We will definitely be using her again if she's available when we're out of town.”
“Since this was my first time using a house/pet sitter, I was a bit apprehensive, but my dogs and cat absolutely loved Jae. She is very good with animals and is quick to contact you if she thinks something is amiss. We were very happy with her service.”
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
“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.”
“Morgan was fantastic. She took great care of Scout and sent pictures and updates often. Also, she was so flexible and caring when my travel was unexpectedly extended. I needed Morgan to stay an extra day and I really appreciate that she juggled around her prior commitments to make sure Scout was happy. It took a huge weight off my mind to know that Scout was in good hands with her. She took great care of my house too!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, awareness, and care I bring to every dog. I grew up with a deaf and blind dog, which taught me early on how to read body language, build trust without words, and stay calm in any situation. I also have a deep, personal understanding on long-term care - I've raised my own dog since she was just 6 weeks old, and she's now nine years old. Because of this, I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved on every walk. I work from home doing fundraising for schools while raising my one year old son. We love going on walks to break up our day and he comes along with me strapped on my chest so your dog must be friendly with little ones. Pets are an extension of our family so I treat every pet as if it were my own child since that is how I would want my dog to be treated!
“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.”
“Austin took amazing care of our furbabies. Loved getting his updates - he’s obviously great with dogs and we felt very at ease. We found the house the way we left it and overall had a great experience. We look forward to having him help us out again in the future!”
“This is the second time I booked Samantha to take care of my babies. Both times went very well. We really appreciate the great communication and the daily updates and photos. We are very happy to have found Samantha and will be booking her again in the future.”
“We were SO impressed and grateful to Alexa for housesitting our energetic cocker spaniel, Luna for over a week while we were out of town. Alexa struck the perfect balance of communication - checking in to show how things were going well, but also allowing us to enjoy our time away. She was very calm, professional, and warm. Our dog is a bit anxious and has frequent accidents when meeting new people, but we could tell she immediately was comfortable with Alexa. We came home to a perfectly clean house, fed fish and a happy dog! She followed our care instructions to a T. All in all we hope to use Alexa again for her services and would recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“We were so lucky to have Helen sit for our fur babies while we were away for an extended period. we were very nervous to leave but immediately when we met Helen we knew that they would be in great hands. Helen sent us daily pictures and updates and our entire vacation went off without a hitch. When we returned home, our house was clean and our animals were happy and you could tell they had been loved. In fact, I think they miss Helen quite a bit. We will certainly be using her for all future trips if she is available and we highly recommend her to any family looking for patient loving care for their animals.”

“Deanna and her daughter were both kind, responsive, and such a huge help in watching Alfie for a week! I got photo and text updates while I was gone and I felt very comfortable knowing Alfie and my home were well taken care of :)”
“Kiara was amazing for a two week care of my 90lb puppy! She was very communicative and sent lots of update pictures throughout her care. My apartment was kept very clean and my puppy was very well cared for the entire time. I would highly recommend Kiara to anyone in need of a house sitter or even dog walker, she is wonderful with dogs and they love her in return!”

Erin did a wonderful job caring for our Goldendoodle and Rat Terrier. She arrived on time for our meet and greet, took the time to go over everything our dogs needed, and was knowledgeable and respectful throughout. We came home to two very happy dogs and would happily recommend her!
Second time having Sadie watch our dog while we were out of town and again we couldn’t be happier. She took wonderful care of our older anxious little dog and we came home to a happy guy. She also took great care of our home. We are so fortunate to have found Sadie She really is the best!
Thank you so much Deanna for your excellent care of our 4-legged fur babies over the 3 days I was out of town. I love that can leave them with someone I trust, who takes such great care of them 🙏🏾 I am deeply grateful, and look forward to you taking care of them again in November!
I knew the minute I met Ellen she loved animals and that she would take great care of my senior dog. She provided excellent care, followed instructions and gave me detailed updates which I very much appreciated considering she has an infection. She stayed in my home and was very considerate of the space.
We had a great experience and couldn’t be happier. She did a wonderful job taking care of our Great Dane, Gunner. She kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated and loved seeing. Gunner was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again.
Mia is a top-notch sitter and an absolute sweetheart! She communicates clearly, sends plenty of pictures, and keeps me updated throughout the day, which gives me such peace of mind. She takes amazing care of both Bella and my home and has gone above and beyond to make sure Bella is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and Bella absolutely loves her! I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and truly caring. She’s the best! 🐾❤️🐶🐾💜🐶
Taylor did a fantastic job with our Toby. He can be a real pill but she knew how to care for him. I would never have known by his behavior that we were gone almost 2 weeks. She was punctual and handled a medical situation with him very appropriately. I will definitely hire her again. Oh and the house was spotless and even clean sheets for two weary travelers. Thanks again.
Sydney was great with our cat, Goya, and also did an excellent job in looking after the house. She was on top of everything and communicated when there was an issue or needed advice. She also sent plenty of pictures of Goya. We have already signed her up for future stays.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rocklin is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $93 per night. 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 2,603 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocklin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rocklin. 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.
