About: I have watched dogs of various sizes for friends, family, and neighbors. I follow care & feeding instructions very carefully to ensure my clients are comfortable and fed according to their dietary restrictions. All of my pets are also seniors, so I know what kind of patience and care goes into my elderly fur friends. I also tend to goats! My schedule is free for any animal that requires care at any time. Just drop me a message anytime from 10am-11pm and I’ll reply within 10 minutes! I will send photos and/or videos of your pets eating, walking, going outside, and their food bowl to ensure their safety and trust in your sitter!

About: Hi there! 🐾 I am Cassie and I have been an animal lover since I was a baby. I have grown up around animals my whole life including cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds. I have always loved caring for animals and have done pet sitting for years. When I was 15 I started my own pet sitting for family and friends. I love all kinds of animals and currently have three of my own, an Australian Shepard, cat, and rabbit. I have had experience administering medication and am happy to also work with puppies. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with our fur babies, so I want to make you feel as at ease as possible. I am a big communicator so you will always have a quick response back, including plenty of photos of your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family :) I am currently a stay at home mom and have very open availability. I am an early riser so I have no problem to do morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I am also available holidays and weekends. I am able to take dogs on walks or even just play at home. I treat any clients fur babies as if they were my own. I also am very respectful when at another persons home and do my best to leave in the same/better state than I found it.

About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.

About: I am 19 years old doing this so I can make some extra money on the side and currently take care of my older brother, who has autism, which has taught me how to remain composed, aware, and reliable in all situations. Those skills are easily applied to pet care, particularly with nervous, timid, or sensitive animals. For example, my own dog has depression anxiety which I make sure to tend to quickly! I can easily fit time with your lovely pets into my daily schedule. I'm free any time after 11AM because I get my brother on the bus at around nine in the morning. Since I'm still learning how to drive, I typically take the bus, train, or Uber to get around. The only thing I know is that I might have to wait until about 5 PM for my mom to return if she works overtime on a Friday, but that rarely ever happens. There is a chance that my schedule can improve so make sure to keep an eye out! I treat every pet under my care as if they were a member of my own family. Making them feel secure, understood, and loved is always my top priority. By feeding them on time, taking them for walks or play, and making sure they receive lots of attention and are comfortable, I try to keep things as simple as possible. I make sure they have everything they require, keep their area neat, and regularly change their water. To reassure the owner that their pet is happy, safe and in good care, I also provide updates and pictures

About: I truly understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a member of your family. I'm attentive, patient, and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My famous hat that I love to wear reads, "easily distracted by dogs". One thing that is especially important to me is respecting every pet parents' wishes. Your rules are my rules. Whether that means specific walking routines, leash requirements, feeding instructions, avoiding certain dog areas, crate routines, or simply knowing your pups' little quirks. I'll never assume I know your dog better than you do. Safety is something I take very seriously, especially on walks and outside of the home. I stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and follow the boundaries you've put in place. Beyond keeping them safe, I want your pup to feel loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. I have a pretty flexible schedule which allows me to easily make pet care a natural part of my day. I'm available throughout the week and can customize my schedule around your pet's normal routine whenever possible. Whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or a little extra time for play and cuddles, I'm happy to work with what keeps your pet happiest and most comfortable. Consistency is important, so I'll always do my best to keep their day feeling just like it does when you're home. Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first. I provide care in your pet's own home and neighborhood, where they can stay comfortable in the environment and routine they already know. I believe you know your pet best, so I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, routines, boundaries, and any special do's and don'ts. During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings and keep your dog safely secured and supervised. For drop-ins and overnight stays, I'll respect both your pet and your home while keeping their routine as familiar and consistent as possible. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and being cared for exactly as you've requested. With plenty of pictures and updates along the way.

About: It is important to me that our furry family members are taken care of and receive the care they deserve. I am extremely detail-oriented and strive to make sure I care for your family just as well as you do. I currently work a consistent part-time schedule along with attending online college so there should be little to no time conflicts. I keep a planner so I have a clear idea of what my schedule looks like. I have experience with giving medication to pets of different temperaments along with handling cases of food aggression. I ask owners to provide detailed lists of what is needed as well as actions I could take in case things go awry. I usually make the effort to contact owners with updates on pets and with questions when necessary.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Elk Grove is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 4,022 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elk Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Elk Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Elk Grove after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elk Grove. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
