About: I’ve had/taken care of dogs since I could remember, I currently have two male dogs & two girl cats. I used to work at WAG Hotels, which is a hotel for pets. I’ve also volunteered at Bradshaw Animal Shelter before and that’s where I adopted my sweet boy Brent. I love playing fetch with my dogs as well as taking them on walks. I’ve had experience with puppies and senior dogs that require medication. I’m currently working full time at Costco. My shifts are 4am-1pm so I’m available after 1:30pm. I’m available on Sundays mornings and evenings. On Saturdays I can be available after 3pm. I live in a home with a big backyard which is fenced and the front yard is also fenced. I have a spare room that I use to keep my puppy while I’m away at work that can be used for a guest pet.
“Jessica is so kind and considerate, and always makes me feel so comfortable leaving my kitten at home with her. I’ve never seen my shy kitten warm up to anyone as fast as she has with Jessica! She is very communicative and asks thoughtful questions. So glad I found her!”
“Jessica was incredible. She requested to bring a friend along for our first meet for her own safety, I absolutely obliged I wanted her to feel comfortable taking care of Willow. She brought her friend Simon. The two of them were extremely kind and sweet. I left them my keys and let them know about my travel plans and left little Willow home for them to take care of. Jessica showed up every single time upon our agreed time and took the cutest little pictures of my kitten. Her and Simon played with her. Fed her exactly as requested and were extremely non intrusive on my space. She left detailed notes about her visits, from how much of a mess (in the litter) Willow left, How much she ate and how she responded to new friends in the house. Jessica was fantastic at cleaning up after Willow and kept her very happy and entertained while I was away. Jessica even left the cutest little note and some treats for Willow for when I returned. My cat can be a little fickle and she fell in love with Jessica. I will absolutely be hiring Jessica (and if she wants to bring Simon along he is more than welcome). A fantastic sitter. And such a sweet woman. Do yourself a favor and hire her. The perfect sitter. My only qualm is my cat might like her more than me now, Willow is gonna book me a flight out of town so that Jess can return. Thank you for your time.”

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.
“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! 🐱❤️”
About: I have extensive skills in training, socializing, senior care and behavioral work and am comfortable with dogs in all types of situations. During the lockdown of 2020 I went through a very difficult time as did so many of us and I turned to the thing I have always had an undying passion about. The wellfare of animals. I spent that year volunteering around 7 days a week almost every week. I learned so much both about how best to support our companions and about how our companions in turn support us. Pet care fits into my schedule daily! My main job provides a flexible schedule and varying hours and I otherwise have open availability for all of you and your pets needs. As a pet owner, I know how difficult it can be to leave your best friend in someone else's care. I pride myself on offering your baby comfort as well as making sure the owner is confident and in the loop about everything. I also like taking plenty of pictures :)
“Emma was a great sitter for our cat, Miso, and our four chickens! She came over for a quick meet and greet before our trip which gave us confidence she would be able to take good care of everyone. She’d visits were on time and she sent us plenty of photos and status updates. Our babies were very happy!”
“My cat is not always great with strangers, but Jazmin had him relaxing next to her on the couch by day 2. I couldn't be happier to recommend her to anyone, she's a wonderful pet sitter.”
About: My name is Leah Cooke and I am 19 years old. I am a total animal lover of all kinds, and have been around animals since I was born.

I am, and have always been very passionate about caring for animals, and I am happy to provide my animal care services to anyone in need. As of right now, my schedule currently varies so please reach out to me to check availability. I’m eager to tend to your furry friends! I give my dog the best care possible and intend to treat your pets with the same, just as if they were my own. I will happily provide your fuzzy friends with fresh food and water daily, walks, playtime, and lots of general tlc. I am also happy to provide your pets with any special requests you may have, such as giving them medicine or keeping up a specific routine they need to follow.
About: I currently have openings for drop-ins, vacations and recurring visits. This covers either 30 min or 1 hr appts- 15 to 20 max distance from Downtown Sac preferred! Cat's safety and comfort are the top priorities. I check in about their usual routine before you leave, which usually includes feeding, refreshing water, playtime, petpets, treats, words of affirmation, litter cleaning, etc... and their gorgeous selfies, of course!
About: I have taken care of my aunts two dogs while on vacation for many years. I am currently responsible for her two dogs while she’s out of town multiple times a year. I also dog AND cat sit for my sister in law multiple times a year- she has 4 cats and a pit bull. I correctly work part time, and I am usually free after 3PM on weekdays. My weekends are open all day. I am happy to accept last minute requests as long as I’m available!! I do not currently plan on having pets in my own home, but I plan to follow the pet parents requests and rules as they know what’s best for their babies.
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.
“Aaron took such wonderful care of my two indoor cats! They are not used to being boarded normally so I wasn’t sure how they would do in a new setting. Aaron was very detailed in asking questions about them and letting me know how the cats’ setup would be to help them get adjusted at his place. He was very understanding that they might have been skittish or scared and from the photos he shared they were venturing out and exploring! I really appreciate his help taking care of my fur babies when I’m not home and will definitely use his services again.”
“Hannah was super reliable; always on time, and clearly passionate about animals. Kept me informed whenever something was off. Gave me lots of confidence and would definitely hire her again for future trips!”
About: My passion for animals started at a young age. I often pet/ house sat for neighbors, friends and family. Many relied on me to care for their furry family members, knowing they would be diligently taken care of. I believe each pet has their own personalities and needs, deserving of mindful attention. I can’t wait to get to know your pet. I am currently working part time, so I have ample time to care for your pet. I believe in going the extra mile and making sure pets needs are met with compassion and care. I have a fenced yard and multiple bedrooms. Your animal can be crated or roam the house with us, whatever fits your pets needs. My husband is home in the mornings and I am home in the afternoons, so your furry family member will have lots of attention and love. I have a 10 year old step son who loves all animals too.

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.
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!
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Sacramento is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.

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 .

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.
