“Took care of my 2 cats for over a week. Very attentive and communication was very good! She definitely gave me no worries and I knew my cats were in good hands when I went away. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“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 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!
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.
“Kat is fantastic! She is very nice, friendly, thoughtful, has great communication, and a professional person! Yoshi had a great time with Kat! We loved that she sent us pictures and updated us every visit. That really helped put our minds at ease knowing that our puppy is well taken care of. We highly recommend Kat and plan to rebook her again!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing and so attentive when stopping by! She came by for a meet and greet and I could tell right away she could get along with any animal & human, very sweet person! My cat Percy loved her and I could tell when I got home that he had been extremely well taken care of. She wrote very nice & long reviews each visit which when on vacation I absolutely LOVE !! Thank you Jessica!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! I’ve used Rover a couple of times, and can say hands down she is the best by far! Great communication, so many amazing pictures of my cats. Played with them a lot. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”
“Natalie was wonderful with our dachshund! She made sure our doggie was well taken care of. Our dog was nice and relaxed when we got home from our weekend trip. Would highly recommend and book her services again! Thank you Natalie!”
“Holly was wonderful with my kitties. She have plenty of updates and took amazing pictures while I was away on vacation. The house also looked very clean when I got back, so I really appreciated that.”
“Erika is amazing! She took such great care of our dog and cats. Very responsive and great with animals. Provided excellent notes and feedback so we knew our pets were well taken care of.”
“Haley was a great sitter for our two cats! She was attentive, provided great updates, and was super flexible when we changed the dates for which we needed her. We will absolutely have her watch our kitties again!”
“I absolutely love booking Elizabeth! She takes such amazing care of my cats and truly treats them like her own. She’s incredibly thoughtful and attentive to their well-being, and her updates always give me such peace of mind. Elizabeth is super communicative, reliable, and always sends lots of adorable photos, which I really appreciate. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”
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.
“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.”

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!
Fantastic cat sitter, absolutely helped keep us at ease with her pictures and her updates. Managed to get my extremely skittish and shy old man to come out and even let her pet him a bit on the last day, which nearly all of our cat sitters before didn’t even manage to SEE him let alone get that close! Will absolutely go to her whenever we leave town in the future, and would recommend to anyone looking for a cat 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!
Jandy was extremely attentive to our cats while we were away and remembered little things about them that we had shared that seemed to make us being away easier on them! She did a lot more than just clean litters and feed them—the interaction was key to make us feel like our kitties were doing okay without us. She was patient with our cat who can be a cranky to others. 10/10 recommend!
This was my first time using Rover for pet care! We were apprehensive about turning our home and pet over to a stranger while we were away for a week. But after noting LaNaya’s profile, rates and experience level I reached out to her just a few days before our vacation to discuss the prospect and received an immediate response from her. Yes! She’d be happy to care for Kai Kitty during our absence. She came to our home for a pre-sitting visit to meet my 13 year old, house-cat Kai. She made us feel very comfortable with the idea of her coming into our home during our absence to care for my pet kitty. I gave her access codes and instructions on how to do the job. While gone she stuck to our arrangement to visit Kai every other day. She was very kind and caring with Kai ensuring he was fed, his box scooped and any accidents cleaned up. LaNaya entered our home using the assigned access codes and then locked down everything before leaving. In addition to being a great pet sitter, I found LaNaya to be reliable, relatable and well prepared for the job at hand. I trust and highly recommend LaNaya to anyone who has a similar in-home pet care need. Thank you LaNaya!

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:

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.
