About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I now have a rescue dog that is 111lbs, & at 6 years old still thinks he’s a puppy. So I can handle a lot of dog sizes, weights & personalities. Here for walks or check ins & feeding if you’re out of town or need help. Message me! 🐕🦮🐕🦺 I am available for afternoon and evening walks, check ins, feeding and play time. I am also available on weekends and Fridays after 12pm. Just let me know what works for you! I have a large dog at home that is a lot to handle so boarding in my home would be difficult. I am trustworthy and caring so you can trust your furry family member in my care.
“Jenna was great with our two cats while we were out of town for the week! She made sure they had wet and dry food, water and clean litter boxes each day. Great communication and sent us pictures each day”
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!
“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!”
“Aimee is wonderful with Harley and Harley is always so excited to see her. Aimee understands Harley's needs well and provides us with lots of updates so it is a worry free experience for us.”
“Scott was amazing while watching our two large huskies. He was prompt and thorough with communication, on-time, and very friendly. His attentions and attitude was very genuine towards our pets therefore we knew we could trust him to care for them. He went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for.”
“Kat was absolutely perfect and I couldn't recommend her more highly! Excellent communication, lots of photos and details, always right on time, and so wonderful and attentive with my challenging cat. She made a long time away from my cat so much easier and anxiety free knowing she was on top of everything. I will 100% use Kat again in the future, she did an amazing job!”
“Kacey and Liz took care of our babies and we couldn't be more happy to have booked them. They were very sweet and patient with our cats and we were left with no worry during our trip. I will be booking them again!”
“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!”
“Erika is an incredible person to watch your pets! We were constantly updated on time, communication was always clear, and she was fantastic with both our young puppy and our older dog. Seriously cannot recommend her enough, you and your pups will be extremely happy!”
“Natalie did an amazing job from start to finish! I had to leave town on fairly short notice, and she was still willing and able to accommodate my pets needs. I have two cats with very different needs, one is older and spicy and takes medicine daily, and I was so impressed by Natalie’s ability to care for her and administer the medication successfully. my older cat even warmed up to Natalie’s gentle nature and allowed some affection! She was also great with my younger cat, who required daily play sessions. Directions I left were followed to a T, and Natalie provided such nice report cards and many photos at the end of each visit! I have a hard time leaving my babies, but Natalie made me feel like they were in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone, and plan on hiring her again as my sitter whenever I can!”
“Wow! I've been searching for two years for a great dog sitter in Sacramento. I finally found one. It took me over a dozen of bookings and meet and greets to find her, but she was the best. Please use her to make sure your time away from your doggos is free from worry. Lots of pictures and she actually uses the app like people are supposed to. Don't book her up, because I need her!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and currently have two cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals is part of my daily life, and I’m very comfortable with pets of all personalities. I’ve trained all of my own pets using patience and positive reinforcement, so I’m familiar with basic obedience, routines, and good behavior habits. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and happy. I always treat every pet like family 🐶🐱❤️ 🐾 Weekdays (Monday–Friday) Early Morning: 5:30 AM – 7:30 AM Midday: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM (best window after work) Evening: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM Note: I work 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM on weekdays, so midday availability is limited during that time. 🐾 Weekends (Saturday–Sunday) Fully available with flexible hours Morning: 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM Afternoon: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM Evening: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 🐶 Boarding / Overnight Care Available most weekends Weekday overnight stays possible with advance notice (case-by-case) Please message to confirm availability I currently have two cats, and I live in a spacious, clean, pet-friendly loft apartment in downtown Sacramento. My home is calm and open, giving pets plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I always supervise any pets in my care and make sure they are safe, stress-free, and settled into a routine that feels familiar. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, walks, doors, and behavior changes because I know how important those small things are. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love 🐶🐱💛
“My pup was sick today and after only knowing her a day, Mrs Lauren came to the rescue. She helped take care of my girl while I was stuck at work. I am so lucky to have found her!! <3”
About: Hello! My name is Krystal. I bring a calm, attentive, and personalized approach to every pet I care for. I’ve taken care of many dogs throughout the years. Small dogs, medium dogs, and large dogs. I also had two dogs (one mixed doggy who was 15yrs old and our golden retriever who is now 2yrs old). I’ve come to know that all dogs have different personalities and will adapt to their needs. I love to cuddle them (if they let me) and give them all the pets. Beyond basic care, I focus on building trust. Not just with pets, but with their humans too. I keep you updated with photos, notes, and peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and looking forward to meeting you both! I currently work full time but I work from home W-F and off every other Monday. I have the flexibility to give your animals much needed attention throughout the day. I am able to come walk your dog during lunch or before/after work. I can also watch your pet from my home where I have a friendly dog and cat. If I were to watch your pet, I would ask for their feeding schedule and any medications I’m supposed to give them. A walk is always a must with my visit. Depending on your needs. If your dog was being watched in my home, they would be in safe hands and in an active home. We have a toddler who loves dogs and cats. And dog who would love the opportunity to play and cuddle. We also go on daily walks in the morning and evening.
“Each time Michelle takes care of my three cats during my work trips they fall more in love with her 😻😻😻 I look forward to seeing the adorable photos after each visit of them snuggling, doing belly rolls, and being their true selves with her. Thank you Michelle!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
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!
Sarah is such a fantastic sitter! She goes above and beyond to tend to my Bug's needs and wants. He loved her from the first meet and gave her lots of foot-flops to show his approval. It's such a relief to have a fellow animal lover that I can rely on to care for my buddy. Can't say enough great things and will definitely keep booking with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sacramento on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,935 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
- 97% 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.
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.
