“We were so grateful to have Natalie dropping in on our pup while we were away for a weekend. She was very communicative and Laika loved her. We highly recommend her!!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“We got to meet Erika for our meet & greet. She was professional, friendly and definitely pet lover. We unfortunately did not end up using her for the pet visit, however I will definitely book her in the near future.”
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!
“We had a fantastic experience with Kasey and Elizabeth! From the moment we connected, they were professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with animals. They took excellent care of Sunday, Ditty, and Peach, following all instructions carefully and even going above and beyond with extra playtime, updates, and photos while we were away. Our pets looked happy and well-cared for when we returned, and our home was just as we left it. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“As always, Michelle goes above and beyond with our furry friend! Rosha has been having a lot of stress related urinary inflammation and the vet recommended getting her outside on a walk as often as we can to help stimulate her and get her energy out. This has been a big game changer for Rosha and we asked if Michelle could help us out and take her on a walks as well. Michelle was so great, she took her out on walks daily and gave us super detailed updates. I know Rosha loves her and couldn’t ask for a better care taker for my kitty.”
About: I have owned a multitude of pets since I was a child, including dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and rodents. I am adaptable and amenable to all animals and any sort of medical needs, strange likes, and behaviors they might have. I am currently on summer break from college and am therefore available for any time or day of the week. Most of my plans are moveable and I’m very flexible with time. I’m adaptable to whatever your household rules are! I can stay all day or just drop in or even sleep on the couch. Whatever helps you to feel comfortable leaving your precious pet, I will do to the fullest and give them lots of love!

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.

“Karli was amazing! It was my first night away from my boy Bob and I wasn’t sure how he would feel about it, but Karli visited him multiple times, sent pics and videos, and made me feel so much better about being away. I will definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
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 🐶🐱💛
About: I have had dogs in my family for my entire life and have been around them for over 30 years. I have a cattle dog Bjorn, and grew up with those, and my cousin has 2 large breed mix dogs that I also love to spend time with. We have 2 cats in our house as well, an orange cat named Fritz and a siamese named Tut. I am currently working part time, and on summer break, so I have lots of time available to assist with feeding and walking dogs currently. I am an experienced walker and have no issues following special instructions to make sure your pup is safe and cared for the way they recognize.
“Took care of my 2 cats for over a week. Very attentive and communication was very good! She definitely gave me no worries and I knew my cats were in good hands when I went away. Will definitely be using her services again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
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!
An extremely kind and caring sitter who goes beyond her assigned duties to take care of my pets. She's truly the kind that animals feel comfortable around and is patient and transparent about her schedule and boundaries. I like her!! Very professional too. You can depend on her to take care of your pets when needed.

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.
