“Stephanie was so great with our kitties!! Very attentive and consistent with sending photos, asking questions, and made sure to check all items on the checklist while still setting aside play time with our babies 🙂 We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Michelle did a great job looking after our two kitties. She was very attentive, followed directions, and had great communication. I could tell our girls were well taken care of and the house was left in great condition as well.”
About: Hello! I’m Keagan and I’d love to take care of your baby! I absolutely love any and all animals. I raised my yellow lab puppy at 14, and my orange crazy cat at 15. I’ve always been around animals, have raised multiple cats and dogs, and love each animal for who they are. Each fur baby is different and deserves to have that understood and respected. I’ve taken care of the sweetest pittie from 9 months to 3 years, an 11 year old boxer, a 9 year old German pointer, and raised my own dachshund mix. And I’ve babysat 4 cats at once! Multiple people have had me watch their animals while they were away, including staying at their house in the process. I like to bring my own treats, so please let me know any favorite brands or dietary restrictions. I would like to meet your furry one before I take care of them so we can become familiar with one another, and to see if we click. Some animals don’t like some people, and that’s ok! I just wouldn’t like to cause your animal stress by taking care of them if they’re not a fan of me for any reason. I’ve RARELY had this happen with any animal, but it does happen to everyone at least once in life. I hope you let me love on your animal as much as I love on mine! I’m currently focusing on being a pet sitter full-time. My priority would be taking care of your animal whenever you need, whether it’s walking your dog or checking on your cat. I would not be able to take care of pets in my home unfortunately. But, I’ll make sure your pet’s needs come first when caring for them in yours. I regularly check food and water first, make sure to follow any instructions, and stay to socialize with them. Even cats! I can absolutely sit in your living room or kitchen for a while to keep your animal company. Sometimes they just need a little more time! I have my phone and plenty of books to keep me entertained if they just want to hang out or, even better, snuggle.
About: As a trainer, I get the opportunity to help clients build deeper relationships, communicate more effectively, and have more fun with their dogs. It’s a privilege to bring joy to my clients by strengthening the bond they share with their companions. I like to build balanced, confident companion dogs. I believe a dog that understands what is expected of them and what they aught to expect from the world around them, is a dog that can move through life with confidence, security, and joy. I am a professional dog trainer so my full day is dedicated and devoted to the animals in my care. I often enjoy early morning walks at the river with my off leash pack, then I work and train dogs through the day. 1) Safety First: animal welfare is the #1 priority, full stop. 2) Relationship Second: training does not being until trust is built between animal and handler. This is very important - I will never push the animal faster than they are ready to move or faster than the trust and relationship will support. 3) Goals Third: after we ensure safety and build a trusting relationship, we can prioritize the client’s goals for training. Training is done through positive incentive based learning following science-backed principles of learning theory.
About: I've got experience with mainly cats and dogs. I've worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years in my past. I've also pet sat for friends when I was younger. I'm a full time student. I have my own car. I have a good amount of free time and can come to you. My summers are more open and flexible but during school,my schedules will change on availability. I let them come to me. I've loved animals since I was a kid but every animal is different. I'm patient and understanding. I'm very approachable and friendly. My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel safe with me and that doesn't always happen in one visit. I'll be doing my best at making sure your animals get plenty of cuddles and playtime as well as being fed properly and loved on well.
“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.”
About: I have been a zookeeper for one and a half years and I love caring for people’s pets on the side! I have experience with birds and reptiles as well as cats and dogs. I have open availability to care for your pets! I can come stop in at any time and as many times as needed. If you’re booking a house sit, I can be at your house with your pet all day long to keep them from feeling lonely. I have experience with animals with all different kinds of personalities and individual needs. I will check water and clean up any messes/ the litter box daily.
“Fantastic pet sitter and very responsive to my last minute request. She also got the most adorable pictures of the chonky brothers while I was out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Danielle did fantastic with a very difficult kitty who simply didn't want anyone around. I appreciate everything she did and handled it very well. She communicated well and tried all her tricks she knew to help anyway she could.”
“Cody was absolutely wonderful! He checked in on my cat, Jacki, for a drop-in visit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Jacki was in such good hands. It’s clear that Cody genuinely cares about animals and takes his responsibility seriously. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave Jacki, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would definitely book Cody again! 🐱❤️”
“Nadiya was absolutely the best sitter I could have asked for! Her genuine love for animals really helped my recently rescued cat feel at ease, and she was always so flexible and accommodating. She’s hands down the best sitter in the area and will definitely be my #1 choice in the future!”
“Jessica was incredible! Our kitties loved her. She was responsive, responsible, and truly a joy to meet. I frankly think our cats were slightly disappointed that it wasn’t jessica walking through the door on the day we came back! We had a bit of snafu with our litter robot and Jessica helped us trouble shoot with ease and grace. Would highly recommend!”
About: I love playing with and walking dogs. I am also a cat lover. No matter the pet, I like to get to know them, what makes them unique and how I can win their affection. I have been watching friends and family’s pets for the past 7 years and grew up taking care of a dog and a few cats. I have experience with younger and senior dogs, senior kitties and being around kittens basically 24/7. I’ve administered medication to foster kittens and have fed a very picky senior cat. I would be honored to help keep your pets happy and healthy and would do whatever I can to make them feel loved and cared for. I am happy to visit for feeding, walks or playtime during your busy work day. Friday-Monday require a couple days planning in advance. I’m currently looking for a full time job, so I’m very flexible. I am happy to meet whatever the needs are for your pets, whether feeding, playing, brushing, medication. I love playing with pets and giving them pets. Give me clear instructions and I will be set. I am unable to host/board pets due to my apartment rules.
“Jennifer and her daughter did such a wonderful job looking after my kitty for the week while I was on vacation! Jennifer sent me lots of photos and updates the entire time. My kitty came back happy and healthy, I would absolutely use them again in the future for my cat-sitting needs!”
“Khaili was great! She was available on short notice and we appreciated the meet and greet. Our cats were kept happy and she did great sending updates, communicating, and following our care instructions. I would highly recommend her and will be booking her to sit our kitties again!”
About: Hi! I’m Jessamyn, and I’m a passionate animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to give pets the extra attention, playtime, cuddles, and care they need. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play, prefers relaxing and getting lots of cuddles, or is a little shy and needs time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible. I’m also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Your pets aren’t “just pets” — they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and cared for! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱💕 My rate for house sitting is a bit high because I have bad separation anxiety from my fiancé and kittens. But know I will take great care of your furbaby My schedule is very flexible, as I currently don’t have a full-time job, so I’m available most days and times to accommodate your pet’s needs. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy for me to travel to and from your home for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. ❤️ I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your pet can feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

Michelle is the BEST ❤️ I know I can always count on her! She goes above and beyond in her communication and care for my babies and I really lucked out in finding her. If you are looking for a sitter who you can rely on to do an excellent job, she is the one!!! I wish I could give her a million stars! if my kitties could talk, I know they would say the same! 😻
Kathleen was fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet before our trip and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout our trip we could tell she really cared about the well-being of our cat and chickens. She even spent extra time just hanging out with our cat to make sure she felt comfy and loved while we were away. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos which is a must! Thank you, Kathleen!
Thank you, Marissa, for watching peach while I was away. Despite the last minute request, she was available and conveniently close by. Since this was the first time having her watch peach, we met beforehand so peach could meet her and I could explain care instructions. I could tell from the photos that peach was happy in her care.
Jaclyn did an amazing job in caring for our cats. Even when her phone was out of commission and she wasn't able to get in touch with us or Rover, she came by every day to take care of the cats and made sure they have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and fresh food. I really appreciate her care for dedication to making sure our cats were cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sacramento is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $43 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 618 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sacramento. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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 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.
