“Jenna was amazing! Super responsive and kept me updated while she cared for my kitty! She’s a cat whisperer btw lol, my cat is normally very scared of new people but she happily greeted Jenna on the first visit. Definitely recommend to others!”
“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!”
“RJ goes out of his way to make my little senior dog feel cared for and loved. She loves to walk and sniff everything and he allows her to do so. My dog is both blind and deaf so I’m very picky with who I have watch her, but I always feel at ease when I know RJ is watching her. He updates me with photos and messages which is greatly appreciated!”

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 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.
“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!”
“Holly is a true animal guardian. She takes care of my two cats with special medical needs, earning their love and trust to give insulin injections, syringe meds, and capsule meds. I always feel at ease when Holly takes care of my sweet boys. Thank you, Holly!”
“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!”
“Lauren was amazing with our two big dogs over the weekend! She is attentive to care details and gives frequent updates, leaving so surprises when you return home. Recommend her to anyone, and really appreciate her help. Will be using her services again in the future!”
“As always, Michelle took the best care of my three cats and their special needs, insulin injections, syringe meds, and tons of love and great photos. Thank you, Michelle! We can’t imagine traveling without you here 🐾🐾🐾”
About: I have been gifted to care for dogs of all breeds and ages for over 25 years now: In-home, kennel settings, bathing care and veterinary hospital practices. I am also a Veterinary Technician student and have experience in dispensing and administrating medication by oral and injections as needed. I have cared for young pups at the age of 5 weeks up to 18 year old senior pups and find all my experience to have been both valuable and rewarding! I am a constant caregiver to pups belonging to friends and family on a regular basis and also care (with help from others) for my three precious pups of my own: Dexter - age 17, Lilo - age 15, and Eddie -age 1 1/2! I am a full time Veterinary Technician student graduating on February 2026. Luckily my schooling takes place online and I am able to be available to care for those who need someone to care and protect their most precious pups while away. I am focused on well-being, health needs and safety of all pets in my care. I believe the best situation involves all precautions and individual schedules that each home has developed with their pets. Keeping a dog as comfortable and secure in the environment they are used to is the great starting point to building a positive relationship as a caregiver .
About: The pet sitter you need! I am well equipped to handle almost any situation that your furry family member can throw my way. Pit bull friendly Rover! I am available anytime, just shoot me a line for services, including walks, check ins and house sitting. I am ready to walk your pet! Family house with mates to give your dog all the attention they deserve, a super friendly pup to give warm welcome and make your dog feel at home. And a large park within walking distance so the dogs can run and spread those legs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
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!
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!
Taylor has been excellent!! Super consistent and communicative. She does a great job making sure I am informed about what goes on during the visits and ask for feedback on what she can improve which I really appreciate. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great sitter for their pets.
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!
Avery is absolutely AMAZING! She took such incredible care of our babies and treated them with the same love and attention we do. Coming home to happy, relaxed dogs who barely seemed to notice we had been gone was the biggest sign of how well they were cared for. It was obvious they felt safe, loved, and completely adored while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We will 100% be booking with Avery again and recommending her to everyone we know. Thank you so much, Avery, you are truly the best. We’re so grateful for you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sacramento on Rover is $25.53 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 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 July 2026, there are 4,116 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
- 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.
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.
