About: I have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years (youngins-seniors). I have a 9 year old cat of my own, adopted her when she was a kitten! I have also lived with family pets (two other cats and one dog). I love going for walks and I would have our family dog tag along all the time and would take care of her when the family was busy. I have experience in giving oral medication to cats + following a medication/feeding schedule. I’m currently working full time, Monday-Friday, I’m available to walk and care for pets during my work breaks, evenings during the week, or any time during the weekend. I provide a loving environment to any animal I come across. I want them to feel safe and comfortable enough to trust that I am a friend!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.
“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!”
“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!”
About: Personally and professionally dedicated to animal care and welfare. I have a Bachelors degree in Animal Science, a career working in farm animal welfare and management and personal experience of caring for my own dogs and horses for over 15 years. I've raised two rescue pups and provided care and house sitting for sweet seniors. I blend together my personal, educational and professional training to my care of your best friends. My schedule can be flexible, mostly on weekends, to walk and give your sweet family member some snuggles while you're away. I can also be available early mornings or evenings during the weekdays. I always want to set up a time to connect with you and your pet before scheduling any care services so I get to know you both and how I can be most helpful. It's also helpful to have a brief home overview so I know how to respect your space.
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 had pets of all kinds since childhood and cared for friends and neighbors pets when they are away. Not only do I have years of experience but I will treat your pet as I would my own I am self employed and work part time so my schedule is quite flexible and I have plenty of time for play dates and long walks! I look forward to spending time with your fur babies I’m happy to spend time with your pet in your own home or take them out for walks, fresh air and outside play time
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.
“Davis was super attentive to my cat, Muc! I received daily reports and photos of how Muc was doing. Davis treated Muc like his own. I really appreciated the attention to detail. Davis is definitely my go-to.”
“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!”
“I had to take a last minute trip for about a week and luckily Michelle’s schedule was flexible enough to watch my little guy. My dog is super high energy and she was very thorough in exercising him whenever she visited! It was my first time leaving him for that long, but having Michelle watch him eased my worries completely. I know he had a great time playing with her every day! Highly recommend!”
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of affection while following their normal routine. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, companionship, and other pet-care needs. I will do my best to accommodate your pet’s regular schedule and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions provided by each pet parent. I give pets plenty of attention while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.
“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.”
“Julyssa is very reliable, communicates well and is a total sweetheart! She’s really good with my puppy and ensures she covers all instructions during her visit. Definitely my go-to rover!”

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!
Kat was amazing! Our dogs are usually with us 24/7 and even go to work daily with us. So leaving them for 6 days was hard. Kat was great! She made sure they ate and went above and beyond with our Pekingese Ripley. By the end of the stay both Reagan and Ripley had a new Mom. Oh and the daily report cards and pics made our time in Florida so wonderful seeing and hearing they were just fine. Can’t recommend Kat enough and hope on our next trip she is our gal!
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 an absolute lifesaver when I needed last-minute care for my dog. She was extremely kind, dependable, and communicative throughout the entire stay..I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be reaching out to Jessica again
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!
Bao did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away! She came over to feed them, play with them, and scoop their litter, and we felt very comfortable knowing they were being well cared for. Her communication was great throughout our trip, and we really appreciated all the pictures and updates she sent us. We would definitely trust Bao to watch our cats again and highly recommend her!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sacramento on Rover is $24.42 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,006 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sacramento. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sacramento stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
