About: I have the sweetest red Golden retriever since August 2023, and had a family Beagle growing up. Now between my parents and sister and myself, there are four Golden retrievers, so I've been around the sweet breed for a few years. In the past few years, I've had multiple roommates with multiple dogs of different breeds that I would walk and petsit. I have a fairly flexible schedule, so I'm typically available for morning, lunch, and evening walks, and also will be available on most weekend afternoons. I will keep your dog on leash and in safe areas, away from cars and unfamiliar dogs. I will follow any and all guidance given on how to best handle your dog.
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. 🐾💕
“Lindsey was AMAZING! I get extremely bad anxiety letting anyone watch my dog (even close friends) and she put my mind completely at ease. My pup was incredibly happy when I got home and I could tell she had such a good day. I cannot thank you enough ?”
“It was great to work with Dale again- she’s communicative and quick to respond. In addition to taking care of my cats she helped water a few plants and take out the trash bins as requested l, which was a huge help. Thanks, Dale!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with five years of hands-on pet-care experience and four cats of my own. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and following each pet’s normal routine. I can also trim cats’ nails and brush both cats’ and dogs’ teeth. I’m patient with nervous animals and understand that every pet needs time to feel safe and comfortable with someone new. I also volunteer with the SPCA, which has given me even more experience around animals with different personalities and needs. Pet care fits very well into my weekly schedule. I’m available throughout the day on Sundays and Mondays, as well as Friday and Saturday evenings. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while following your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, grooming, and household routines. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain clean food and water bowls, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and give each pet the level of attention or personal space they prefer. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I personally I’ve owned two cats and a dog and I’ve baby sat dogs for 7 years total and pets make me happy. I feel personally as a pet parent it is hard really to travel when you don’t have a sitter so I become a pet sitter so everyone can have a the opportunity to travel and not put their life on hold due to their pets. To better care for your furry companions and for My comfort , a meet and greet will need to be initiated prior to accepting booking. I’m available Saturday late evening until 9 pm I’m available all 7 days of the week , with Sunday I will start at 1 pm. I live in a gated community with a park designed to walk your dog , the neighborhood is very dog friendly or animal friendly nothing to worry about .
“Allie and JoJo were the purrrrfect helpers for our cats, they communicated clearly and even provided “proof of life” photos for us to see our girls were doing okay. We would absolutely book with them again!”
About: I am a huge lover of all animals. As a child, we bred dogs, and I cared for puppies as well as mama. I am experienced in giving medication to animals, as I have had to do that in the past with my own. I have three dogs and a bearded dragon. I’m experienced in caring for all different types of animals. I am self-employed, and work one day a week. Other than that, I am a stay at home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule. I treat my animals, as well as other’s like family. My own animals have a big fenced in backyard that is secure and safe. I
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have cared for dogs through pet sitting and dog walking since college. I also have a German Shepherd who I’ve had for 8 years, so I’m very comfortable with medium and large dogs. I enjoy long walks, feeding, cleanup, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and attention. I always prioritize safety and treat every dog in my care like my own. I am comfortable with cats. I will walk your dog, rain or shine, weather permitting as safety is always first. I’m available Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 AM–1 PM for weekday walks. I’m looking to build a small group of recurring clients, so I can provide consistent care and get to know each dog and their routine. I’m flexible within those hours for 30–60 minute walks and can accommodate occasional potty breaks or shorter visits as well. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of care and attention. Depending on their needs, visits can include a walk, feeding, fresh water, a potty break, and some playtime. I’ll always make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave and send you an update afterward.
“Jenny was a lifesaver responding to our last-minute request for a puppy sitter! She bonded very quickly with Bella and was very prompt with her check-ins, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town for a couple nights. Thanks Jenny!!”
About: I’ve been a proud pet owner my entire adult life, with a special place in my heart for large breeds like pitbulls, malinois, bloodhounds, and bulldogs. Over the years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities — from high-energy working dogs to laid-back couch companions. In 2019, I founded a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue focused primarily on bully breeds. Through that work, I cared for dogs of all ages — from tiny puppies to gentle seniors — many with behavioral or medical needs. I gained hands-on experience with training, medication administration, socialization, and rehabilitation, all while ensuring each dog felt safe, loved, and understood. In 2023, I transitioned the rescue to my amazing team so I could focus on providing more individualized, one-on-one care through pet sitting. I bring the same dedication, structure, and compassion to every pet I look after as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs calm companionship, structured walks, or just someone who understands their unique quirks, they’ll be in good hands with me. ❤️ I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, which means I’m able to give plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m typically only away from home for a couple of hours at a time, so your pet will have lots of company, playtime, and supervision. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, weekend stay, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Consistency, comfort, and connection are always my priorities. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up for comfort, with plenty of room for lounging, play, and outdoor breaks. Because of my background running a dog rescue, I’m very experienced with different breeds, behaviors, and energy levels. I make sure each dog has the right balance of attention, activity, and rest, following their individual needs and routines. I’m home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule, so pets are never left alone for long. You can trust that your dog will be safe, supervised, and cared for as if they were my own.
“LIsa was very easy to communicate with and took great care of our 2 dogs. Our youngest is a rescue pup and she is skittish so this was the first time we had someone take care of her and having Lisa was a huge peace of mind for us. We will definitely rebook with her again.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our cat sitter Caitlin and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She did drop‑in visits for over a week and was incredibly easy to communicate with from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond in every way. After each visit, she sent many photos of our cat, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also left detailed, thoughtful updates every day, explaining exactly what she did during the visit and how our cat was doing overall. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to our cat’s needs and well‑being. Knowing our cat was in such capable, attentive, and loving hands made our time away completely stress‑free. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and exceptional sitter. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“This is our first experience using Rover and we were absolutely blown away by Johanna's excellent services. We would highly recommend her to any prospective Rover customer looking for somebody to care for their pet when they are away. The daily report cards and pictures were an excellent way to stay in touch with your pet from another state. Thanks Johanna for taking such good care of Peety and Jaxon when we were away!”
“Libbey is reliable, observant and has good attention to detail. She is calm and caring, seems to know how to read cats well and appropriately respond to their boundaries. This meant the world since I have senior cats that are vulnerable and require medication. I was able to relax on my trip knowing they were in good hands and that Libbey could navigate any bumps in the road.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Whether those were dogs in my family, or a dog of my own. I have experience with dog walking and pet sitting dogs in my neighborhood as well! I am detail-oriented so I make sure to follow owner instructions and pay attention to animal behavior. I’m currently a student-athlete and have some extra time on the weekends to take care of dogs! I love animals (sometimes more than people) and I would love to use my free time to look after animals and provide my services. I have a dog at home who I pay close attention to so that he doesn’t eat anything, break anything, and I make sure he gets attention! Like my own dog, I treat other dogs with the same care and love.
“Jess is such a wonderful pup sitter! She’s very thorough and attentive to our needs. Quick to respond and message back with details that go above and beyond my expectations! She even spotted a small piece of waffle my son had dropped on the floor, and removed it before our puppy could grab it. Hire her! She’s one of the great ones!🤩”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocklin
Ashlyn suggested a meet and greet which was a great idea. It helped us both decide if this was a good job match. Our dogs are big, sniff strangers and jump up to greet without our dogs realizing how big they are. I was relieved when Ashlyn was not intimidated by Bubba and Duke. Our family received daily updates with a picture. Our mind was at ease the whole time while out of town. Ashlyn was prompt, detail oriented, and caring toward our sometimes challenging dogs. Our family was at ease
This is our second time booking with Johanna and she is absolutely incredible!! She is so sweet and loving with our dog and is very communicative while we’re gone and great with checking in with photos and messages!! Thank you Johanna for taking care of our boy and we can’t wait to book with you again!!
Lynn was an amazing pet sitter for my cat Minnie. She followed all of the special instructions I had, was on time and sometimes stayed late to ensure everything was done, and was always responsive and flexible with me. I really appreciated her and will certainly rebook her for future trips.
Leah was fantastic! She went above and beyond to care for Coco and ensured everything was taken care of at my home while I was on a 2 week vacation. I would absolutely book with Leah again and will recommend her to all my friends and family who have pets. She is the best!
Deanna was amazing! My cats fell in love with her and looked forward to her visits. She was loving, sweet, and gentle with my cats. She communicated with me very well and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. She's definitely my go to kitty sitter from now on =] Thank you so much, Deanna!
Myung came over before our trip to meet the bets and get acquainted with the house which was very helpful! He was attentive to each dog and sent great updates and pics each day. Communication was great and I would book again with great confidence our dogs would be taken care of!
LIsa was very easy to communicate with and took great care of our 2 dogs. Our youngest is a rescue pup and she is skittish so this was the first time we had someone take care of her and having Lisa was a huge peace of mind for us. We will definitely rebook with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rocklin is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 3,826 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rocklin. 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 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.
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.
