“Jenna took excellent care of my chinchillas while I was out of town, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter—especially if you have small or exotic pets. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of types of dogs and cats. I have experience giving medicine to both dogs and cats ( I have experience with the cat burrito maneuver). I am patient with animals and do my best to meet them at their level. I am an owner of a high energy dog and she has taught me so much about talking care of pets. During the week, I have availability for lunchtime walks and evening hang. On the weekends, my schedule is much more open and I can be available whenever you need me. When taking a dog into a backyard I always make sure they are supervised. My pup is a jumper and can easily jump a fence. So I know what to look out for. When in a new spaces I always walk the fence line to check for any holes or loose boards. With indoor cats, I enter and exits the house carefully so nobody escapes. I understand cats can be shy, so i usually pick a spot and hang out quietly there and wait for the cat to come to me.
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets and I've missed playing with my dogs since moving to Sacramento. I can't wait to play fetch, give pets and attention, and walk with your dog. I worked part time so I have plenty of time on weekends and week day to care for your furry pal. I'm flexible with early mornings, mid-day check ins, or late night walks Your house, your rules! I love instructions and follow them to a T. I prioritize cleanliness and respect in your home. I'm also covid conscious and for my immunocompromised friends
“Sophia was the perfect sitter for my cat while I was away for vacation. She was very trustworthy and respectful of my home and my pet - 2 of the most important things in life! She has great experience and definitely cares and it shows. I would definitely recommend and/or book her again.”
“Char is very reliable, conscientious, and communicates well. Our pets are well taken care of when we are gone for a long period of time. We can highly recommend Char if you need somebody to watch your pets even for a long period of time.”
About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats in the past, as well as walked neighbors and friends dogs! Moved to a new city so looking for new pups and cats! Currently have a full time job but find myself in one place most of the day so looking for ways to stay active! I’m available most weekends, and week day nights! I like to keep a clean space so am sure to clean up after animals, as well as have a safe space for them to play, eat, and use the bathroom!
“Holly is absolutely amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and trusting of her ability to care for my puppy. I really appreciate her kindness. Atlas was lucky to have such an awesome sitter! Holly did everything I requested and made my puppy so happy.”

“Jessica was an amazing sitter! Her check ins were detailed and the pictures were icing on the cake. She was punctual and I could tell my boys enjoyed her company and love. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Mel is awesome! Very professional, easy to get along with, great communication, reliable and absolutely great with our dogs! Frank (our large male pitbull mix) and Becky (our medium female bulldog) both adored Mel from the first moment they met her. She is very much Frank and Becky approved! Mel's done a great job taking care of our pups, she's a fantastic pet professional, and we highly recommend her services!”

“Natalie is great! She was very attentive during our consultation for an upcoming house sitting for my kitten and pup but I needed her for a last minute drop in lunch visit. She was thankfully available and very communicative. Her notes on the visit were super detailed and included lots of photos of both animals. She was able to feed my kitten his lunch and take Snax for a walk. I feel very comfortable with the upcoming weekend - both of my pets will be in good hands!”
“Andrea did a great job with our kitties! Usually the apartment is smelly from their wet food after a trip but this time, no smell! She let them out for balcony time which is pretty much their favorite activity during the warm months. Pic updates were awesome too!”
“Our kitties look forward to Elizabeth’s visits. We employ getting pics that let us know how they are doing. It gives us peace of mind to know they are so well cared for.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Through this I have become an expert in fetch, tug of war and ear scratches. I love running, walking and being outside- I can’t wait to tire your pup out! I currently work from home and am in sales so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to give your dog love at all times of the day. My neighborhood has ample walking area to tire your pup out so there is no shortage of new walking routes to sniff and explore together.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
Kilani kept me updated with photos and a detailed description of Ginger over 5 days. She troubleshot and fixed an ant problem in Ginger’s food. Ginger is my mom’s cat and they live in the memory care section of an assisted living facility. Kilani seamlessly handled the logistics of getting in and out of both the facility and my mom’s apartment with politeness. She took excellent care of Ginger.
Michelle RULES! She is my go-to sitter ❤️ My kitties really trust her and are comfortable around her. Not only is she thorough with communicating and understanding of my cats’ needs, she’s also flexible with any changes in needs as well! I took my boy Lemon for dental a few days before my booking & he ended up needing some teeth pulled which I was not expecting- he was to only be fed wet food for a while, and was sent home with medication. Poor planning on my part, but I gave a heads up to Michelle and she was more than willing to accommodate these changes with no problems at all. PLEASE give any sitter more notice than I did, but just in case something does happen- Michelle’s got you covered! I’m a chronic worrier and knowing she’s watching over my babies truly puts me at ease. I am grateful to know I can depend on her when I need to leave somewhere! 😻😸😽
Jaclyn took wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were away on vacation. She came a day early for a meet and greet where she made our cats feel really comfortable around her. She had great communication before we left as well as the whole time we were away. Would definitely recommend Jaclyn to anyone looking for cat care!
Jessica was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated how attentive she was to their needs and would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Emma was a great sitter for our cat, Miso, and our four chickens! She came over for a quick meet and greet before our trip which gave us confidence she would be able to take good care of everyone. She’d visits were on time and she sent us plenty of photos and status updates. Our babies were very happy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sacramento on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,942 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sacramento. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sacramento. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
