About: If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets like they're part of the family, you've come to the right place! I've always loved animals and understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing dependable, loving care while you're away. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, drop-in visits, or caring for cats and dogs, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe every pet deserves personalized attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet simply enjoys cuddles on the couch, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. When you book with me, you can expect: Plenty of love, attention, and playtime Fresh food and water Walks and exercise based on your pet's needs Medication administration if needed and instructions are provided Frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing Respect for your home if I'm house sitting I'm reliable, responsible, and committed to treating your pets with the same care I'd want for my own. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated throughout every visit or stay. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can't wait to meet your best friend! I currently work five days a week, with shifts on Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30 AM–12:00 PM and Friday through Sunday from 11:30 AM–7:30 PM. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. If you have any questions about my schedule or whether I'll be a good fit for your pet's needs, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to discuss my availability and make sure we're a great match before booking! Safety is my top priority whenever I'm caring for your pet. At home, we crate our German Shepherd puppy whenever no one is there to supervise him, so I understand how important it is to securely kennel a dog before leaving the house if that's part of their routine. I know every pet has different needs, and I'm committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. My family feeds our dogs twice a day, in the morning and evening. While our dogs let us know when they're ready to eat, I'm more than happy to follow your pet's specific feeding schedule and any other routines they're used to. I believe consistency helps pets feel more comfortable while you're away, and I pride myself on being punctual and dependable. I also love taking dogs on walks to give them exercise, mental stimulation, and quality one-on-one attention. Throughout each visit or stay, I'll send regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years or so by myself. Growing up my parents watched dogs for friends and family every so often. We also had a border collie mix of our own for 15 years and I was responsible for taking care of him. I currently work M-Th; 9am-5pm but fairly free before or after work for walks and playtime. I tend to get up early on work days but a night owl on the weekends. I enjoy getting out on the weekends like going on walks with hikes. I currently do not have fenced in hard but I do have a large grass area right outside my house that is dog friendly and is great for playtime and even doggie pool time.

About: Hi! I'm a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, a former Division I athlete, and an experienced dog and house sitter. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs who need extra patience, medication reminders, slower walks, and individualized attention. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and active lifestyle. As a former student-athlete, I'm extremely dependable and understand the importance of consistency and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, comforting environment, I tailor my care to their specific needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and stress-free in your absence. I currently work part-time during the week and have weekends completely free, allowing me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or overnight stays, I can provide reliable and attentive care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. As a former Division I athlete, I am dependable, responsible, and committed to giving every pet the attention they deserve. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own home, so I strive to maintain their regular routine and provide personalized care based on their needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, or extra attention for senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I have a pretty busy schedule, but can set aside time on my busy days for drop-ins. I am free to stay at the house with your pet on my off days! To paint a better picture for you of what my availability looks like, my schedule alternates between busy and free days every other day. So if you need 24/7 in-home pet care I am not your best fit, but you can still ask if you’d like! I might be able to work something out for you :) Thank you for your consideration! I offer dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom of two little ones and a big animal lover. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I have about 10 years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that pets are family members, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I’m home most of the day with my kids, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or loving company while you’re gone, I’d be happy to help. I’m also looking to earn a little extra income for my family, and there’s no better way to do that than by spending time with furry friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Since I’m a stay-at-home mom with my little ones, I have a very flexible schedule and am often available throughout the day. In some cases, my children may come with me for drop-in visits or certain pet care tasks. They are gentle, respectful around animals, and have grown up around pets themselves, so they are very comfortable and calm with them. Our family loves animals, and we always treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care. When caring for pets, I always do my best to follow the routine and preferences discussed with their owner. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I aim to keep their feeding times, walks, playtime, and general care as close to their normal schedule as possible. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Rosa Greco – and I’m so excited to be starting this journey on Rover! I recently lost my beloved 14-year-old American Bulldog in February. While I’m not quite ready to welcome a new pup of my own, I truly miss the love and companionship of animals. Rover gives me the perfect opportunity to share my time and care with dogs and cats—and get my doggie fix in a meaningful way. Whether you need someone to take your pup for a walk, drop in for a cuddle and some playtime, or care for your kitty while you’re away, I’d be honored to help. I understand how important your pets are, and I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I gave my own. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friend—let’s connect! ⸻ Let me know if you’d like to tailor this for a specific Rover service (boarding, walking, drop-in visits, etc.). Happy to help! I am currently retired and have a lot of time to offer. I love animals, especially dogs, and am excited to take care of yours! I took care of my own dog and have trained every dog I’ve had. They have always been great dogs and very well trained. I love animals and would love to take care of your fur baby

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and a genuine bond with dogs. While I haven’t worked as a professional dog sitter before, I’ve been caring for dogs since I was seven years old. I’m now 32, and throughout my life, I’ve had a Maltese, an English Setter, and a Gordon Setter. My setters were hunting dogs, so I’m comfortable with energetic, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’ve trained them in basic obedience, manners, and recall, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and clear boundaries. I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, and I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. I can also teach simple commands and fun tricks like sit, stay, lie down, roll over, spin, and shake. I am a Spanish woman who moved to Folsom with my husband a year ago. I am a great animal lover and I have had dogs since I was little. In my childhood, I lived with two setters: an English setter and a Gordon setter, and a Maltese bichon. This has given me experience with both large and small dogs. Now, although we cannot have one of our own, I would love to care for others, as I greatly enjoy their company. My daily routine is flexible, and I have full availability to adapt to the needs of clients and their pets. I fully adapt to each pet’s needs. I am very attentive and will always ensure the dog has food, water, and is comfortable. If I notice something is wrong, I address it immediately. I handle walks carefully, avoiding direct sun, and if bathing is needed, I do so with experience, using proper shampoos and conditioners, especially for long coats. I can also brush them. If a vet visit is required, I will take care of it. Additionally, I love playing with dogs and making sure they feel calm and happy when their owners are away. In short, I handle all the care a dog needs with attention and affection.

“Sara was fantastic! She came over before our scheduled day to meet our dogs and familiarize herself with our dogs schedule and details for their routine. We have never hired a dog service before and we’re apprehensive at first. The day of service she kept us informed and even sent pictures of our fur babies to let us know how they’re doing. We felt comfortable knowing Sara was tending to them. We definitely recommend hiring her services and will be using Rover and requesting Sara for future dog sitting services. :)”

About: I have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and needs! I am comfortable with caring for animals needing extra attention, elder pets, administering medication if needed, and making it my standard to treat your pet like my own! I myself have two kitties and a dog, so I know how important it is that they are around people with relaxing and good energy, which I can provide! A fun fact about me is that I am an Air Force veteran, so I am responsible and reliable!! I am currently a full-time student at Sacramento State, so I am at school from 9-10:15am Monday through Thursday starting this fall, which allows me to be available for your pet before and after class! I also work part-time from home on Mondays and Wednesdays and Fridays :) When I pet sit, I make sure that I leave the space I am pet sitting in just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. I respect the environments I am welcomed into and show my gratitude for any opportunity to fill a space by treating it as my own!

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! My name is Sydnee. I’m a 23 year old married animal lover with extensive, hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes. I’ve owned horses since I was young and into adulthood, so I’m very comfortable with livestock as well as typical household pets. I currently have five cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve been actively caring for animals since I was about 13 years old. What started as helping neighbors, friends, and family quickly grew into a full pet sitting business. After several years, I took a break to explore other career paths and get married but my love for animal care never left. I’m excited to be jumping back into pet care and would love the opportunity to provide reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care for your animals. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including early mornings, late evenings, extended visits, and last-minute changes when needed. This flexibility allows me to spend quality, unrushed time with each pet and provide consistent, dependable care that fits seamlessly into their normal routine. A day with me is filled with attentive care, comfort, and plenty of love. Your pet’s routine comes first, meals are served on schedule, medications (if needed) are given carefully, and there’s lots of time for play, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their personality. Whether that means long walks, quiet cuddle time, interactive play, or simply relaxing nearby, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I genuinely love animals! I've spent the past 5 years caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, including shy, energetic, anxious, and reactive pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just having someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they need! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I'm big on communication and will gladly send pictures and updates throughout our time together so you know your furry family member is doing well. I'm also comfortable with house sitting, following detailed instructions, and respecting your home and your pet's normal routine. I don't mind cameras in shared spaces, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐶🐱🧡 I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! 🐾 I do have a full-time job, but I have flexibility with my schedule and can make adjustments ahead of confirmed bookings. I primarily offer house sitting and dog walking. For overnight stays, I'm happy to stay in a guest room if one is available! Since I live in Orangevale, I'm also open to arranging visits throughout the day and returning to my own home at night, depending on your pet's needs. I'm always happy to talk through expectations and schedules before confirming a booking to make sure we're a great fit! I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! 🐾 For dogs, a typical day might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of attention and cuddles. If they're comfortable in public spaces and their owner approves, I'm happy to take them to a nearby park for some extra outdoor time! For cats, I love interactive playtime with their favorite toys, giving them pets when they're in the mood, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. I always adjust activities based on each pet's energy level, personality, and routine. Whether they're full of energy or prefer a relaxing day, I'm happy to match their vibe!

About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember! My family has had many pets through the years, family dogs that we’ve cared for into old age, and dogs we have helped rehome! I have experience with many different breeds, including jack russell terriers, pitbulls, border collies, and many more. I love all animals and being around a new pet is so exciting for me. I promise to give your pet special attention and make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am currently in a dental assisting program, so I will be unavailable mondays and tuesdays. Any other day I will have full availability for your pet! I will make sure your pet gets lots of potty breaks if needed, or make sure their enclosure/litter box is fresh and clean! I’m very punctual when it comes to feeding and kind of OCD about having clean water available. I always want your pet to feel comfortable and safe.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bullard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 3,645 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bullard. 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 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 Bullard. 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 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.
