About: I’ve raised, trained, and dealt with a range of dogs, big, small, young, or old my whole life, and I'm good at adjusting to each dog's proper needs and quirks! I’m a very patient person and like to take time making sure the dog is having a good time, along with making sure my clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their babies in my care! I have five dogs of my own, such as my Shih Tzu and my Dachshund! I’ve owned many big dogs in the past as well and have a wide experience with different dogs and their quirks! I’m currently a full-time college student, and am free throughout the week and can be flexible with most times throughout the day, whether it be early morning or later in the day! On Mon/Wed I am only available in early mornings, and Tues/Thurs I’m available after noon. I am able to take extra time for your pet if needed, and don’t mind making adjustments if need be! I have raised many dogs, and even rescued loads of animals throughout my life, and have learned how to adjust to dogs needs. I am very patient and enjoy taking my time making sure every pet is comfortable and having fun throughout the walk. I generally like to update often, and make sure both sides are comfortable and feel safe with the care of the dog. Based on your pets reactivity or personality, I will base my bookings off of that to make sure everything is smooth sailing, as I’d never put a dog in harms way!
“Stephanie was fantastic! She was punctual, polite, and very thorough, asking all the right questions to make sure our pets were well taken care of. She was incredibly kind and attentive to our dogs, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about them. Stephanie was a huge help while we were away on our camping trip. She not only took great care of our dogs, but also fed our pet betta fish and made sure Luna received her medication. Knowing that everything was being handled while we were away gave us great peace of mind. We really appreciate how responsible, caring, and communicative Stephanie was. We would definitely reach out to her again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. Highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“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 had cats and dogs my entire life, and volunteered at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for a year after college. I've fostered kittens and a senior cat with medical issues, and cared for many older pets over my life. I once house sit for a family with rabbits so I have a little bit of familiarity with them. I have house sit for friends with a standard poodle and a mini doodle, including giving the standard poodle his daily medication and taking them both for twice daily trips to the park. I have also checked in on my parents' two dogs and 5+ cats to feed them, let them out for potty breaks, play with them, and give them medication. My sweet orange tabby got cancer a few years ago and I fed him three times a day through a feeding tube and administered his medication as well. I work some evenings, so I am free most of the day to care for your furry friends. I take care of my own senior kitty in the mornings, after my evening shifts, and during any free days. I have pet sat for friends and family before, including giving medication and two daily walks. I will follow all instructions to the letter and ensure your pet feels right at home.
“Jordan was super accommodating and flexible especially given the quick turnaround time of the request. Definitely book him if you're in need of some quality time spent with your pets!”
About: I grew up with a Yorkshire Terrier and currently have a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with the everyday routines that come with caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also helped care for my husband’s senior Scottish Terrier! I recently decided to take a break from the corporate world, and I’d love to spend some of that time caring for your furry babies 🐾❤️ I’m new to Rover, but I take pet care and communication seriously. Please feel free to ask me any questions - I’m more than happy to answer them and will always follow any specific care instructions you provide! I’m currently taking a gap from work, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available throughout the week 8am-8pm and can usually accommodate different times. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box/potty care, and any other specific needs. I’ll be respectful of your home, can send photos updates, and will keep in touch during each visit so you know how your pet is doing!
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.
“Holly was such a wonderful sitter! She was very communicative (sent lots of great pictures and videos playing with my cat) and my cat immediately warmed up to her! I’m so lucky I found Holly and will definitely book her for future visits!”
“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.”
“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.”
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 have taken care of all types of animals from furry friends to reptiles! They will be in great hands! I have experience with medication administration as well if any friends need some extra care :) I am currently in nursing school, so outside of class I am available to care for your animals. I will provide my school schedule to see if it works for you and your animals. I have several references that I would be happy to provide use to you :) I provide attentive, loving care and love to be active, so if you have an active animal I promise they will be happy with me!
“Natalie was very communicative, took good photos, and overall gave our cats excellent care for a couple check ins, which we booked on somewhat short notice. Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Liz is EXCEPTIONAL!!! ฅ^>⩊<^ฅ She is communicative, attentive and extremely thorough. Liz followed all the instructions provided and sent thoughtful updates and a ton of adorable pictures each visit. She treated my babies like her own and even had the magic to woo my extremely shy kitty, Cookie, out of hiding!! Momo and Cookie give Liz 10/10 mousies—highly recommend!!!”

Kacey and Liz always do such an amazing job with our babies! We are always left unworried whenever my wife and I are on a trip because of how they much they love all our kitties. We enjoy all the pictures they send after every visit and it brings us so much joy knowing that we'll be coming home to some well fed babies after our trips. I highly recommend booking Kacey and Liz as they are so patient, caring and loving!
Bao was wonderful with our cats while we were away! She took great care of them, kept us updated, and always sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. Harold needed some extra care while recovering, and Bao was great about giving him his medication and spending time with him in the separate room where we were keeping him. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was being looked after so well. Bao is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. We would absolutely trust her with our cats again and highly recommend her!
Kilani is incredible! Our two cats warmed up to her right away and you could tell she was very comfortable and knew what she was doing. Kilani was very punctual and responsive with her communication too. As an added bonus, the photos she sent of our girls were phenomenal! We will definitely book again.
Kathleen was lovely to work with - she communicated quickly and clearly through the whole booking. It was obvious that both my cats felt safe with her and I knew they were cared for. Kathleen made every step easy from meet and greet to leaving my apartment in great shape for when I came home. I’m always a little nervous working with a new sitter but she put me right at ease and I would recommend her to anyone!
Michelle as always is a lifesaver!!! Me and my kitties love her!! She is so reliable and I can always depend on her to take excellent care of my babies. She was so flexible about giving one of them meds last minute and I am forever grateful for her patience and understanding. I wish I could give her a million stars but 5 will have to do!
Debbie was incredibly caring and thoughtful while watching our bunny. We appreciated all of her care and were very confident that our rabbit was in great hands while we were out of town. She paid attention to detail and followed through with everything we had discussed! Would 100% recommend!
Jessica was so great with our two cats! She was prompt, communicative, and went above and beyond, helping to sweep up food that the cats spilled and alerting us immediately when our smoke detector started beeping a low battery warning. Super appreciat her and her help!
Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for our two boys! She set up a meet and greet initially to meet our boys which really put me at ease. Jessica is thoughtful, caring, flexible and is great with cats. One of my cats takes more time to warm up to new people and she helped him out of his shell pretty quickly. During her visits she paid special attention to each cat and made sure everything was taken care of. Jessica brought us so much peace of mind knowing our boys were well taken care of while we were traveling. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Jessica!!
Jessica took such great care of my cats during repeated visits for the week I was not home. By the end of the week my cats wanted to follow her home :) She was especially patient with play time with my higher energy orange kitty boy and keeping my place so clean!!! Would love to have Jessica cat sit for us again anytime!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sacramento on Rover is $26.35 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,932 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.
