About: Hi! I have always loved animals, growing up with many cats, dogs, chickens, fish, birds, etc. Right now I have a cat, Luna, who we love dearly! We are not quite ready to fully pause travel and commit full time to a dog at home, so I am looking forward to enjoying some dog time via Rover! I am available all day on weekends, and after 5pm on week days. My Sat/Sun availability will vary based on my schedule, but I would love to take walks on my open weekends! I plan to ask pet preferences and communicate with the owner prior to our first walk. I am in tune with what a dog’s mood and what they may be communicating during our walk. I hope they enjoy the walk and my company during our time together.

“Luke was amazing! He accepted my request last minute and was able to care for multiple dogs with ease. He gave great updates when he was on his way and how each visit went with pictures and details. I didn't feel worried while I was away at all. He is also very mindful when it comes to your home which I really appreciated. 100% recommend and will book with him in the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs, I'm 22, my last boy recently passed last year in the summer. Ever since I couldnt bring myself to get a new dog, not after him. But I do have a bunny that I rescued from a bunny shelter in the bay! I've showered, groomed, walked, etc dogs in the past. With my last boy, he had cancer so I guess you can say I have a bit of experience with following a oral medication administration schedule. I also did have a senior dog prior to him, that's all an experience. I had him when he was a pup so I did raise my boy and I think I did a pretty good job at it too. I currently work 3, irregular 12 hours shifts, the days are different every week. My school schedule is a bit more set. With that being said If I'm not working my 12 hr I'm available after 12 noon any day besides Saturday, currently. I do live with roommates in a spacious house with a yard. I don't think id be able to take in any doggies for boarding for long periods of time, maybe for the day but even then those are slim chances. For the times that I can, your pup will be surrounded with fun animals lovers that love to spoil and play with anything fluffy. We do have a cat and a bunny in the house but they are easy to keep away or be put in a different room of the house. I, personally, love a good walk on a trial and a good trip to the dog park. I'm all up for water activities, I don't mind washing your pup. Even a good stoll through the neighborhood and ending it with a movie and lots of cuddles. Indoor or outdoor, I can work with just about any activities or tasks.

About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!

About: I’m 21 years old and have had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, which makes me a great match for dogs who enjoy long walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and very responsible, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs and cats, big and small, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes! Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, lots of attention, or simply someone patient and caring while you’re away, you can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I just moved here, and am missing my pets back at home, so I would love to care for your animals as if they were my own! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Since I’m freshly postgrad, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks or visits. I enjoy staying active, so spending time walking, playing with, and caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. When walking your pet, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure each walk is tailored to your dog or cat’s needs, whether they enjoy a relaxing stroll, extra exercise, or plenty of time to explore and sniff. I always pay close attention to my surroundings, use proper leash safety, and follow any instructions you provide about your pet’s routine or behavior. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will treat your pet like my own. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and positive walking experience that keeps your pet happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind.

About: I recently moved back here after having spent the last 5 years in Los Angeles. I was emotionally & mentally exhausted from working a 9-5 within such a large city. I missed my animals, the sound of nature & the outdoors. I would love to care for your pets as they enrich my life so much, and I would love to enrich theirs! A LITTLE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE: Animals have been apart of my life since I could remember: I grew up on a farm! 9 acres of land, filled with horses, chickens, cats, dogs, rats & a free roaming tortoise! The main animal I was surrounded by was cats. We had anywhere from 6-13 at a time! This was mainly due to the litter of kittens my mom, sister & I would foster for months at a time. Our primary focus was bottle baby kittens. I always say, I am a dog mom, but a cat person! Both are extremely near and dear to my heart. I’m also very athletic, so if you have a high energy dog, I don’t mind taking them for a run, dog park, hike etc. MY PETS: My dog’s name is Saint & he is my entire world. I adopted him from a rescue in Riverside, CA only a year and a half ago. He was an aggressive, scared dog who needed constant love and patience to gain his trust. Now, he is an energetic, loving, hilarious boy! Our favorite activities were hikes & playing fetch. Fun fact: he looks identical to 🐕 Saint has taught me how to care for temperamental dogs through positive reassurance as well as the importance of a dynamic, safe environment. MY SPECIALTIES: Senior dogs Energetic dogs Bottle baby kittens Senior cats Medication Live in Sacramento, work in Folsom. Weekends are open to sitting anywhere from Sac up to Placerville and beyond! Weekdays are reserved for early morning walks, late night check-ins around the area OR for those who need mid-day pet care based in Folsom! I am dynamic all around!! I live in an apartment that is open with high ceilings. I have no pets (Saint lives with my parents), smoke & child free as well! More than happy to snuggle & allow pets on furniture. I live in a safe neighbor with a lot of great space to walk.

About: I’m Lauren—Keeper of Cats, Walker of Dogs, with 25 years of experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. My approach is quiet, steady, and respectful of each pet’s natural rhythm. Cats are my specialty. I’m comfortable with shy, senior, independent, or affectionate cats, and I follow their lead. I’ve handled medication, special diets, and slow‑paced routines with care. For dogs, I focus on gentle, unhurried walks and calm companionship while still providing full dog care—walks, feeding, playtime, and routine support. I’m a great fit for friendly, easygoing dogs who enjoy steady energy and consistent routines. Services include: • Cat visits, meds, litter care • Dog walks & drop‑ins • Overnights for cats or mellow dogs • Fish feeding • Thoughtful updates + photos If your pets prefer a peaceful presence and steady hands, I’d love to care for them. I work full‑time from home in an emotionally heavy line of work, and caring for animals is the bright, grounding rhythm that keeps me balanced. Stepping away to spend time with your pets—whether it’s a quiet cat visit or a peaceful walk—adds light and calm to my week, and I’m grateful for it. I care for pets by keeping their world steady. In your home, I follow your routines—feeding, litter care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I move at your pet’s pace, whether that means quiet company or active engagement, all while keeping your space tidy and your pets grounded and comfortable.

About: Hi, I'm Nyah! I've been providing pet care since I was 14 and have experience with a wide range of animals and breeds. I've worked with everything from Cane Corsos and Great Danes to Chihuahuas, doodles, and many breeds in between. Beyond dogs, I also have hands on experience caring for cats, horses, rabbits, chickens and birds, fish, and reptiles. I'm comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, feeding routines, medications, and daily care needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and loving care while making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, scaled, or hoofed) family members! I currently work full time, but my hours are flexible and vary on the day. For the most part, I can adjust my work schedule (with enough time in advance) to fit in per clients. When it comes to clients pets, I like to keep them on the routine they are used to as much as I can. So I like having clear laid out instructions(or notes) as to their normal routine, that way the animal has familiarity and they’re significantly less stressed. I try to follow as close to a T as I can to instructions for both the pet and owners sake.

About: Over the past 5 years, I've been providing dog walking and dog sitting services. My general duties include feeding, walking, playing with, and administering medication to dogs. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines that each dog may have. I’m currently working part and I am a full time student. I work 3-4 days a week from 3AM-11:30AM. I make openings in my schedule for any work or help needed necessary. Additionally, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have been walking and feeding a now grown up puppy named Mia for about 3 and a half years now. I make sure to schedule time for feeding, walking, and playing with the dog that I care for. I always keep a close eye on each dog's behavior and health to ensure that they are happy and healthy. I care for pets in the clients home making sure they are fed and have easy access to food and water. I also closely follow the instructions their owners have left for me. I would typically make sure the pet did not use the bathroom in the house/area the pet is. If I were to board a pet at my home I’d make sure my dog is in a friendly mood to interact and I would make sure the clients pet is safe and fed the correct food.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. Larger dog breeds, smaller dog breeds, cats, birds, fish, rodents, you name it! Currently my husband and I have two fur babies, a sweet active Husky named Kai ❤️ and a sweet indoor cat named Nugget. They are the best! I’m biased I know. I’ve also had countless neighbors and friends who always counted on me to jump and help whenever they went out of town, or worked a longer day at work, or just needed extra help! I take care of animals as very close to my heart, as if they were my own. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well, with distributing medicines and eye drops. I have nothing but patience, experience and love to give! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to drop me a message :) Please note, I would love to meet and greet with you and your furry pets! I do allow for one free meet and greet to get acquainted, but outside of that, I do charge for additional meet and greets and/or walks outside of the first one, thank you for understanding! I have flexibility! I can be available whenever needed. Anything from early AM or later evenings to overnights, just let me know what kind of care I can provide for your pets! I currently can offer care in a clients home. I am respectful of all requests a client may need and you can count on me.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I was raised around animals and currently have two cats of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I also worked at a veterinary clinic for three years while I was in college, where I gained experience caring for all kinds of pets and learned how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, a meal, or just some company while you’re away, I’d love to help! I’ll treat your pets like my own, keep their routine as normal as possible, and send you plenty of updates and pictures so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work full time Monday-Friday, but I can be available Friday nights all throughout the weekend, great if you need someone while you take a weekend to get away! I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll also make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away, with updates and photos along the way!

About: Looking for responsible and enthusiastic dog care? You’ve come to the right place! although I have only been on the Rover app for about a few years, I have many years of experience in pet care. I have had dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for all animals. I have been trusted to dog and house sit for friends and family and find so much fulfillment taking care and playing with fur babies! (Of all ages of course!) I have experience with both small and large dogs and don’t mind jumping dogs either! I have always taken both my dogs growing up on walks and still do when I go visit my parents! I am very active so walking and playing with a hyper dog isn’t a problem for me! My childhood miniature poodle is now 14, so I understand the fragility of dogs that are getting on the older side as well. I have such love for all animals and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Please contact me for more information or any questions. Thank you! I currently am a 25 year old grad student at Sacramento state university, and I am in the teaching credential program! My school schedule varies, but I always have days during the week where I’m home most of the day and would love to spend that time pet walking/pet sitting. I am a very good listener and understand that everyone has different needs for their pets. I follow instructions to how YOU would like me to care for your animal and I always do so with the upmost love and respect for your animal and your home. Doors will always be double checked to make sure they are closed and locked. Dogs will get taken out for potty breaks often. Animals will receive lots of attention and play time.

Amber was great with the boys, sometimes when drop-in visitors left, the boys whined because they didn’t get enough interaction or attention. The boys remained calm after she left, so I know she loved on them as if they were her own, played with them, gave them puzzles, meds, etc. Amber is great! Would absolutely recommend her.

Auva was absolutely wonderful; she was open with circumstances, provided ample pictures of my cat, and, over the course of the catsit, managed to coax said cat into her lap, which he has done only for two other people, myself included. I came back to him physically content but annoyed that either I had been away or that Auva was now gone. I hope for my sake that it is the former. Send her your cats. (Send her to your cats?)

  • 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 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 Alder Creek. 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
