About: Taking care of animals is passion of mine, so I would love to provide dog walking or drop ins! I started my first dog walking business when I was 10 and currently own 3 cats and 1 dog. I am an online student, so my schedule is very flexible! I accept last minute bookings and am available during the week and on weekends. I provide food and water to my cats and make sure their cat-box is cleaned regularly. My cats are cuddly, so I make sure to spend quality time with them.

About: I currently have two dogs at home that have been raised since they were puppies. I provide consistent routines for our dogs and am confident in my ability to provide stability for your dogs while you are away from home. My home has a fenced off area indoors and outdoors to give your dogs plenty of space to roam around and not have to be fully cooped up all day. I will help your dogs have a home away from home. I currently have a full time job, but my job also allows for work from home so my schedule is based on my ability to be home during your pet’s stay. Even if I need to be in office, I can come home during my lunch break for 30 minutes to tend to the dogs. On weekends I will be home and only go out for a few hours at a time for groceries. I am very familiar with crate training and other simple tricks for dogs. I always feed all dogs separately to ensure no food guarding occurs and we monitor the dogs throughout meal time. I am comfortable with feeding basic medications if needed.

About: Being a dog mom myself has taught me how different every pup can be. Some want to play nonstop, some prefer to stay close to you, and others need a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I’m patient and attentive to those differences. I pay attention to body language, energy levels, eating habits, potty routines, and overall behavior so I can recognize when a pup is happy, needs a break, or needs a little extra reassurance. I want every dog staying with me to feel seen, understood, and cared for. ❤️ The Care I Provide Your pup’s stay is more than simply having someone watch them. I want them to have a fun, comfortable experience while maintaining the routines they’re used to. I can provide: * 🐾 Plenty of love, attention & companionship * 🏃 Daily exercise and supervised play * 🌳 Safe outdoor time in our fenced yard * 💤 Quiet time and opportunities to rest * 💊 Oral medication administration * 🐶 Experience with senior dogs * 📸 Regular photo & message updates * ❤️ Personalized care based on your pup’s personality and routine * 🐶 Socialization with your own dogs * 🧸 Lots of play/enrichment * ❤️ Individual attention * 🛏️ A comfortable home environment * 🐾 Experience handling multiple dogs * 💬 Consistent communication with owners ⭐ Why Choose Me? Your dog isn’t just a booking. They’re a guest in our home. 🏡 I take pride in creating a clean, safe, loving environment where pups can be themselves while their families are away. I’m attentive to the little things, communicate consistently, and genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog that stays with us. And because I love building relationships with both pups and their families, repeat guests are especially special to me. 🐾❤️ Hi! I’m Naiomie, and I’m a loving, responsible dog mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. ❤️ When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax, play, get plenty of attention, and feel right at home. I enjoy getting to know each pup’s unique personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that’s personalized to them. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, a professional cuddler, or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and making sure each pup’s individual needs are followed carefully. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, which is why communication is very important to me. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos, messages, and little moments from their pup’s stay so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. 🐶💕 I’m flexible with advance notice and do my best to accommodate each family’s needs. My goal is simple: for your pup to feel loved, safe, and completely at home while you’re away. ❤️ I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a beautiful park outside my home to take your pup on walks and get active.

My puppy loves his walks but he also loves playing with other dogs. Pedro took him to the dog park to give him a chance to really play and run off his energy. Pedro is so good about looking for ways to help dogs enjoy their outings. I highly recommend him.

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: My ultimate goal and promise is to provide the safety and love for your pets as if you were still home. I know how worrisome it may be while you're at work or on vacation to wonder how your pet is doing and if they're receiving the care they deserve and i'm here to eliminate all worries. I have grown up and owned many animals ranging from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I can confidently go on long walks or even be a cuddle buddy. Working part time on the weekends, I have almost my whole day during the week to take care of your fur babies. A bonus to the sad fact I don't currently have any pets of my own at the moment, my home and large backyard is free for your pet's comfortability. I grew up training my dog in 4-H and have raised puppies as well as kittens. I work part time on the weekends so I am free during the week to care for your pets if you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard and no other pets in my home. I will care for and clean up after your pet whether they are in your home or mine. I live walkable distance to parks and dog parks.

About: I have been a proud parent to many labs. Few dogs can match their energy. I look forward to loving your pups like I love mine! I work a hybrid schedule and am typically available, throughout the day, 5+ days a week (including weekends). I am an avid walker and used to walking multiple miles a day with my dog. My availability is relatively well planned out, so if you request a sitting in advance, I can always let you know if I will be available. I love all of my pets as if they were my children. I love dogs and cats more than anything. I have two lovely cats and have had two magnificent labs in the past. There are few dogs that can throw more at you than a lab, so I'm sure I can handle your pup!

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

FAQs for Dog Walking - Elk Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Elk Grove on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Elk Grove.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
