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.
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.

“Dustin is always very attentive to our pets and we feel safe leaving town with them in his care. He is great at updating us throughout our trip with pictures and messages letting us know how the pets are doing.”
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.
“Huge thanks to Matt! My large dog was initially aggressive to him at our meet and greet and Matt was not intimidated by my dog and agreed to continue with my dog through the weekend. Matt kept me updated and sent pics everyday! Very professional and responsive! Thanks Matt”
“Kat is fantastic! She is very nice, friendly, thoughtful, has great communication, and a professional person! Yoshi had a great time with Kat! We loved that she sent us pictures and updated us every visit. That really helped put our minds at ease knowing that our puppy is well taken care of. We highly recommend Kat and plan to rebook her again!”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter! Her check ins were detailed and the pictures were icing on the cake. She was punctual and I could tell my boys enjoyed her company and love. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Khaili was great! She was available on short notice and we appreciated the meet and greet. Our cats were kept happy and she did great sending updates, communicating, and following our care instructions. I would highly recommend her and will be booking her to sit our kitties again!”
“Isla did a great job! She arrived on time, followed directions, had fun with my dog, and checked in with me when she had questions. I will hire her again and again.”
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.
“Scott took such good care of our pets, we decided to book with him again. As always he is extremely helpful, caring, and goes above and beyond. We trust Scott to care for our dogs and have full confidence in him.”
“Very kind and communicative! Stayed with our pups in a hotel while we went to a family wedding. Felt very confident leaving our semi anxious dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!
“Aimee is wonderful with Harley and Harley is always so excited to see her. Aimee understands Harley's needs well and provides us with lots of updates so it is a worry free experience for us.”
About: As a professional dog trainer, I get to help people have deeper relationships and more fun with their pets. It’s truly an honor to bring joy to people and dogs. When training dogs, my goal is to see or develop a balanced and confident dog. A dog that understands what to expect when they go into the world is a dog that is happy and confident in their environment. I am a professional dog trainer so my full day is dedicated and devoted to the animals in my care. I often enjoy early morning walks at the river with my off leash pack, then I work and train dogs through the day. 1) Safety First: animal welfare is the #1 priority, full stop. 2) Relationship Second: training does not being until trust is built between animal and handler. This is very important - I will never push the animal faster than they are ready to move or faster than the trust and relationship will support. 3) Goals Third: after we ensure safety and build a trusting relationship, we can prioritize the client’s goals for training. Training is done through positive incentive based learning following science-backed principles of learning theory.
About: My family has had 4 dogs in my lifetime and I have loved every one of them very much. I have two dogs at home right now and I love to spend time with them. During the holidays and over the summer I work at WAG hotels in Redwood city as an all day play employe. I pretty much supervise large groups of dogs and make sure they get along, are safe, clean up after them, and give them lots of love. As I'm writing this I am a student at Sacramento State and I am pretty flexible with dates and times on most days. Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite things to do and I would love to spend some time with your doggy. I am currently a student at Sacramento State and have a decently clear schedule. I have class at 4:30-5:45 on Monday's and Wednesday's, class from 1:30-2:45 on Tuesday's and Thursdays and class from 4:30-5:45 on Tuesdays. I have no set schedule for weekends so I am pretty open Friday-Sunday but any other day works well based on my class schedule. Unfortunately I live in an apartment building right now so I cant provide hospitality for your dog but I would love to play with them in a yard or a park and take them on nice walks or do anything else needed for your doggy. Ive worked with all types of dogs so I am ready for anything.
“He was very patient with Elio and spent a full two hours giving him time to get comfortable. Elio wasn’t quite comfortable enough to be leashed, but he did take treats from him and even played with his toy, which was great progress. I really appreciated that he didn’t rush him and let Elio warm up at his own pace. We’d definitely be happy to have him watch Elio again!”
“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!”

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Sacramento is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,996 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Sacramento. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Sacramento. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
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 .
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.
