“Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we were away! She was very easy to communicate with and left detailed notes on how the cats were doing after each visit. She also took some great pictures, which we really enjoyed seeing each day. She followed all of our detailed instructions and we could tell the cats were well taken care of when we returned. She gave us peace of mind during our time away and I would recommend Claudia’s services to anyone looking for help caring for their furry friends. We will definitely have her help us out again in the future!”

About: ⚠️all previous dogsitting has been done off rover⚠️. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled with plenty of attention and affection. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m experienced in giving oral medications and am comfortable following special care instructions to keep your pet healthy and happy. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’ll provide personalized care, regular exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photos and updates throughout the day so you can see all the fun activities, walks, playtime, and cuddles your pup is enjoying. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and in caring, reliable hands. I am currently going to school at Sacramento State University, going into my junior year. This upcoming semester starts late August, I have classes Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10-5pm. I am also actively doing weekly visits with Lucy (in pictures). I typically have an open schedule, and can always make time for any animal! I have 3 acres of land and 2 energetic dogs, I feed and give water to them daily. I also take them to run the yard daily. I have 4 cats which one is my personal cat, I feed and give water daily ( clean litter box every 2 days). I also have a turtle which I let stand in the sun daily for 15 minutes ( with monthly tank cleanings. I just recently got 5 female chickens, I give them a fresh water bucket and full feeder daily.

About: I am 19 years old doing this so I can make some extra money on the side and currently take care of my older brother, who has autism, which has taught me how to remain composed, aware, and reliable in all situations. Those skills are easily applied to pet care, particularly with nervous, timid, or sensitive animals. For example, my own dog has depression anxiety which I make sure to tend to quickly! I can easily fit time with your lovely pets into my daily schedule. I'm free any time after 11AM because I get my brother on the bus at around nine in the morning. Since I'm still learning how to drive, I typically take the bus, train, or Uber to get around. The only thing I know is that I might have to wait until about 5 PM for my mom to return if she works overtime on a Friday, but that rarely ever happens. There is a chance that my schedule can improve so make sure to keep an eye out! I treat every pet under my care as if they were a member of my own family. Making them feel secure, understood, and loved is always my top priority. By feeding them on time, taking them for walks or play, and making sure they receive lots of attention and are comfortable, I try to keep things as simple as possible. I make sure they have everything they require, keep their area neat, and regularly change their water. To reassure the owner that their pet is happy, safe and in good care, I also provide updates and pictures

About: ​Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. ​Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.

“Sabrina is absolutely incredible! Leaving my cat while traveling can be stressful, but knowing they were in her hands was a huge relief. It is so clear that Sabrina truly loves animals and treats them with such care. I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

“I took an extended/long-distance trip in December and this was the first trip I've ever taken without my cat. I was quite anxious to leave him home alone, especially with the recent passing of his cat sibling. I booked drop-in visits with Rachel and she was great! I really appreciated the time that she spent with my cat. I could tell that she was very attentive and caring toward him. I also loved the selfies/pictures she sent during most of the drop-in visits. I could tell that he was happy having a visitor! Rachel also offered to drop-in on an additional day if my flight was cancelled, which was very kind. And after a long day of traveling, I came home and did not have to throw out any litter/trash, as she had taken care of it already--which I also really appreciated! I plan to book with Rachel again if I take any future trips. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or structured playtime, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep you updated with photos and messages. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work 5 days a week at my job (7am-3:30pm) and would love to squeeze pet care in whenever I can. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can even switch around my work days if talked to a few days in advance. I care for pets with a lot of attention, patience, and consistency. In my home, I have two friendly cats, so I always make sure visiting pets are comfortable with a calm, cat-friendly environment. I keep spaces clean, provide fresh water, stick to feeding schedules, and make sure everyone has their own safe spot to relax. I monitor introductions carefully and only allow interactions if it’s safe and stress-free for all pets.

“Had to leave our cats for about a week. Just asked for a daily check-in and feeding. Also did ask for her to try to give our little girl Mei a daily pill. We figured Mei would disappear and give her no chance. But she got her her medicine every day except for the first day. Impressive. Also cleaned up some cat sick. Very happy. And cats seemed very happy.”

About: Hello! Thank you for your trust and for taking the time to read my profile. I have grown up around pets of all kinds and have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, temperaments and breeds. I have been using Trusted Housesitters for the past two years to care for pets as an exchange for staying in others homes, receiving an average rating of 5 stars for over 13 visits across the US - see attached pictures for a few testimonies :) I believe I am a great sitter for the time, energy, and love I put into every pet I have cared for - I feel immensely grateful that so many people have continued to trust me with their pets, and have allowed me the joy of spending time with their animals. I am responsible, compassionate, and communicative - it is incredibly important to me that everyone is comfortable and happy while also respecting any requests or boundaries that the owner has in place. When I am not spending time with others beloved pets, I work in public health as an Occupational Health manager, supporting our workers and advocating for more protective measures for these populations. Additionally, purchased a Sprintervan back in 2022 (named Danger O'shea;) that I have had converted into a mini-home, which I use for both pleasure and business, renting it out whenever possible. Working remotely makes it easy for me to have flexibility throughout my day and allows me the opportunity to take breaks as needed to give your pet scratches, cuddles, and to go on ample walks/hikes as needed. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard and in close proximity to many parks, lakes, and trails. I love taking pets on excursions whenever I can (with owner approval), especially for those more active animals who need to burn off some extra energy :)

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Sheldon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,010 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sheldon. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sheldon. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
