About: Hi, I'm Katelyn! I've always had a strong love for animals and have grown up around dogs my entire life. Being around pets from a young age has helped me become comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have looked after my neighbors' dogs and cats, which has allowed me to work with a variety of personalities, routines, and individual care needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I provide dependable dog walking and pet care with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I'll tailor each visit to their needs. I'm attentive to details, follow care instructions carefully, and always treat pets as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind by providing reliable care and regular updates. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m unavailable during those mornings, but I’ll be back in the area by around 1 PM. The rest of my weekdays are open, so I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and routine. My weekend availability will vary, but I’ll do my best to be flexible and accommodate your needs. I also make it a priority to keep my availability calendar up to date and will communicate as early as possible if I become aware of any scheduling conflicts. Clear communication and reliability are important to me, and I want pet owners to feel confident when booking with me. For drop-ins and walks, I come in, let your dog out, and take them on a walk or give them a potty break depending on what they need. I refill water, feed them if that’s part of the visit, and clean up after them. I also spend a bit of time playing or giving attention so they’re not just in and out. Before I leave, I make sure everything is locked up and your dog is safe and settled. I’ll send you a quick update after each visit so you know how it went.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up caring for dogs, including my own, where I’ve helped with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their routines. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. As a college soccer player, I’m active, responsible, and dependable. I enjoy spending time outdoors and would love to help your pets get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’ll treat every pet like my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and can build their needs into my schedule. I’m active and responsible, so I’m comfortable providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I prioritize communication with owners and make sure their pets receive the attention and routine they’re used to. I have three dogs and love to keep them active and playful. I love taking them on evening walks. Their names are Bubba, Vinny, and Dodger!
About: I grew up on a farm and have experience taking care of all kinds of pets and animals, but I especially love canine companions. I have my own dog that I cherish and have trained myself! I’m a go to for many of my friends and family for a dog sitter and I love that they know they can rely on me to take care of their best friends! I’m a stay at home mom to a beautiful baby girl. We love to adventure together, including helping care for your pet when you cannot! My daily routine can easily be adjusted to your needs and wants! I’ve needed last minute sitters before. I’m here to be that help for you. I am confident and capable of taking care of your pets needs.
“Rachel was wonderful with my dogs and made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. She was right on schedule, which made me at ease leaving them alone inside. She sent updates and pictures, which were nice to receive. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too. July 2026 added two more cats and another cat tower. 😊
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My next-door neighbor would trust me for weeks at a time to take care of her old cat, and I would always take care of my pets when my parents weren’t home. Over the past year and a half, I worked at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve decided to take on pet-sitting full time while I finish college with my career goal being a veterinarian! I also own a leopard gecko, giving me experience handling exotic reptiles! Whether your pets need frequent potty breaks, walks, play-dates, or any sort of medication, I’m your gal! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m currently unemployed, and about to finish my college semester- giving me of the time in the world to work with you and your pets! My availability will always be flexible and I will be attentive to any of your needs. I live with one (soon to be two) dogs! My current dog is very sweet and sociable- she loves to make new friends! I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Auva, and I have been a petsitter for four years. I have also spent the last five years part-time nannying, tutoring, and gardening, all which have made me even more patient and compassionate. I am very attentive and want you to feel your pets are in good hands, and I strive to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible while you can't be with them. I love walking and am always happier with a furry friend as a companion. I am flexible and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and some who needed a little extra effort (post-surgery, shy, aggressive, etc). I am a university student home on summer break. My schedule is fairly open and pet care fits in very easily, alongside my part-time research position which is hybrid online/in-person. I often walk, whether or not I am petsitting, so making sure potty breaks, playtime, and walks happen is no problem for me! I care for pets in client homes, and with years of experience in overnight child and pet care, I know how to respectfully visit your home. I either come and go or stay overnight based on what you prefer and what makes you most comfortable. I also love keeping owners updated with texts/pictures/videos if they want!
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I take time to understand them and their personality to give them the best love that I can. Noticing the little details about each pup helps make sure that are happy and healthy while you're away. I currently have a hybrid work schedule giving me some extra time in the mornings and afternoons. With that time, I thought I would spend it with animals that I love. I will support pets to the best of my abilities based on their environment and pet needs. Each pet has a unique set of needs that requires individualized care and support.
About: I love dogs so much, I love going on walks so why not make it the best of both worlds! I would love to be able to be around your pups to bring me and them so happiness! I love to get movement in, my 10k steps a day, and to go on walks myself so having a dog with me would just make it even better ! I always make sure my pets are taken care of! Not only make sure they are safe but make sure they are happy and feel loved!
About: I love caring for cats and dogs. Having had both as pets at different times in my life I welcome the opportunity to assist you in your pet care needs. I work part-time. My work schedule is very unstressful and accommodating. I can offer flexibility in my care for your pets. I am available week days and weekends. I will take good care of your fur babies. I have two grand kitties and one grand puppy. I sit with them or help their parents when needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Dorado Hills
Carmen and her daughter made us feel so reassured our puppy was in the best hands on her first vacation. Carmen gave our high maintenance pup lots of love and us updates with photos, videos and updates. Our puppy loved them right away and was so happy during her vacation. Carmen reinforced our puppy’s training and gave her so many walkies that our puppy already misses her vacation with Carmen! Carmen treated our pup like her own, taking her on car rides and letting her sleep on her bed. We highly recommended Carmen!
Rachel was absolutely phenomenal and we feel so lucky to have found her 🤍 She stepped in last minute and even took the time to come by the day before for a meet and greet, which meant so much. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how comfortable and happy our Labrador puppy Betty was with her. Rachel was attentive, playful, and so thoughtful with her care. She made sure Betty got her potty breaks, playtime, and even adjusting when she started to get a little wild (puppy energy 😂). We loved the updates and photos, and it was obvious Betty had the best time. Knowing Betty was in such kind, capable hands gave us total peace of mind. We would 100% trust Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly wonderful with dogs 🐾
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Makaila was so kind and caring, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. Makaila kept in great communication with me throughout the stay and sent the cutest pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. She treated my pets as if they were her own and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she provided, and I will absolutely be booking with Makaila again in the future.
Ericka was excellent to work with. I booked two consecutive weekends fairly last minute but she responded promptly and was super flexible when scheduling the first meet and greet. Ericka has a sweet and gentle demeanor and is clearly a “cat person” in the way she approached and interacted with Kitty. She listened closely to my care directions and asked great follow-up questions that helped her get to know Kitty’s personality. Ericka arrived to each scheduled visit on time, took care of Kitty exactly as instructed, and sent plenty of pictures! I recommend and will be using Ericka’s services again :)

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a El Dorado Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 El Dorado Hills. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
