“Remi is a wonderful care taker. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the right person to care for my senior dog. She even visited with my gecko. Remi will be my go-to person for future needs. I strongly recommend her!”

“Nancy’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She’s responsive, eager to make sure all my animals are well taken care of. Whether it’s walking my rat terrier or making sure the heater is working so that they don’t get cold at night, she’s thoughtful and goes the extra distance. And she sends me pictures of the dog and cats at every visit in real time. She’s just wonderful.”

About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.

“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”

About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles and three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: My experience in pet care consist of caring for my own pet, family, friends, and Rover families' small to medium size pets. I have worked with a varying amount of indoor trained dog breeds. I have experience with administering and applying medication. As an experienced dog mom I acknowledge that I don't know everything and I am open to learn and understand all different types of small to medium size dogs and different ways of caring for pets. I highly respect each owner's way of caring and feeding their pet. As your pet sitter I will do my best to implement the same or similar feeding and daily routines to ensure they feel right at home. I cannot wait to extend my love and dog care experience to your beloved furry family member by providing a fun, loving, and safe home like experience during their stay! I am a stay at home mom which allows me to enjoy time with your fur baby and be available to play, cuddle and take on daily walks (weather and time permitted). I am available for dog boarding/sitting on holidays, weekends, & weekdays. Please refer to my profile & calendar for availability and pricing. My family home is located in the beautiful Sunset Village Oaks area in Rocklin and it is adequate for dog boarding/sitting. The home and well fenced backyard, each have 3 entries and exits in case of an emergency evacuation. The backyard offers plenty of outdoor space to exercise, explore, play and sun bathe with easy access to a beautiful walking trail. Unfortunately, the indoors isn't big enough for larger dogs and to provide cat care. The indoors living space, however, can accommodate small to medium size dogs and their crates, if preferred. Dogs are kept indoors during extreme weather conditions and only allowed outside for potty breaks. The best effort is made to take your pet on daily walks. There are 2 separate outdoor play areas should a dog be on the shy side. Dogs are fed separately to keep them from eating each other's food and treats, this is to avoid upset tummies and upset doggies. Every dog's behavior is monitored closely to prevent from anyone getting hurt. Safety is my #1 priority. I will update you daily with pictures and short videos for you to enjoy during your time away.

“Sierra and Seth, both watched our giant dogs today! They did several drop-ins and made sure the dogs needs were very well met at each one. They are also very communicative, which was so important because we have a large dog with reactivity issues and behaviors. Sierra and Seth were very responsive to our dog's needs, and willing to adjust and adapt when our reactive dog needed different kinds of support. We would love for them to sit for us again and their help was irreplaceable!”

About: Wow, I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog in my life. I grew up with a dog as a child. When I had a family we had a family dog and he grew up with my children, and have had a handful since. Currently, I have two shih tzu dogs that enjoys being around other dogs and playing. My grown children bring over their dogs for family events and my house becomes a doggy zoo! We wouldn’t want it any other way. I am a trusted friend who takes care of our friends and family dogs. Looking forward to gaining your trust too! I am a stay at home-wife, with all grown children. I have open schedules and are looking forward to take on your pet care needs. We have a fenced back yard, the home is free reign. We allow our pets on furniture. If your dog is crate trained we are comfortable abiding to your requirements. We can take walks multiple times a day on our beautiful walk path to a pond.

About: Hi furry parents! I have helped countless family members and friends with pet-sitting. My family has had dogs, cats and birds ever since I was 3. I'm looking forward to spending more time with animals and will care for them like my own! We can work out whatever system is best for you and your pets comfort and needs-whether that's multiple walks a day or rest time for older pets. I have been known to be attentive to animals energy. Whether they are annoyed, playful, curious, not feeling well or ready for a W-A-L-K I anticipate to open myself up to their mood! I hope you'll consider me for reliable care for your pets :) In accordance with my availability I will be nearly free while I am furloughed. More time with your pets for walks, medicine, cuddles, whatever your pet seems to need. :) At the time I am only available for in-house pet sitting in your home. I'll be sure to pre-negotiate where in your home I am permitted and where you would like to keep your privacy. I'll be sure to be respectful and abide by your guidelines always.

About: I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures so you can see what your fur baby is up to! I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time throughout the week to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and boarding in my apartment. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m stopping by your home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability! I share my home with my best friend, who also has experience boarding and caring for dogs, and our Great Dane. We’re both comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I personally have experience handling reactive and dog aggressive dogs and understand the importance of boundaries, supervision, and safe separation. Because other dogs may be in our care, I always want to know about reactivity or behavioral concerns beforehand so we can provide a safe and comfortable environment for every pet.

Sienna took amazing care of my kitties for the weekend and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. My cats are very shy but she got them out of their shells the first day with her attentiveness and care. Sienna did an excellent job communicating throughout the weekend and sent me a ton of pictures of my cats which made me so happy! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone- you can really tell she cares deeply for animals.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Yankee Jims

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
