“Edwin is polite, flexible, dependable and accommodating. Oso enjoyed his walks with him and we hope we can book more walks in the future. We truly recommend Edwin to care for your dog. Oso loved Edwin from the minute he stepped in our home. Thank you Edwin!”
“Darlina was exceptional with my Chance. She was responsive and communicated well and followed all my directions. I would 100% trust her with all my pet needs. Thank you Darlina!!”
“My father had a stroke and had to go to the ER but unfortunately left his dog in the apt. Kayla was incredibly accommodating in getting access to the dog and making sure it was properly walked and fed. She promptly communicates all details and issues. Thank you so much!!”
“Oreo and I so appreciate Amanda and Hector’s help during these beginning weeks of the new school year! I know Oreo looks forward to going on his lunch potty breaks with Hector where he can sniff to his heart’s content. 🐕 💜 🥰 We truly appreciate Hector’s flexibility when he comes a bit earlier some days due to the hotter weather or Oreo’s needs. We will definitely be requesting Amanda & Hector again!”
“We felt very comfortable with Marina taking our lil' Bruno on a walk. It's clear that she loves dogs! Looking forward to more walks, and some boarding days too! Thank you!”
“Brandon did an excellent job with poncho making sure he got his pee breaks and avoiding other dogs . He kept poncho interested despite poncho being tired and wanting to come back home .”
“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.”
“Krystal was absolutely wonderful with Max! She walked him mornings and evenings while I was away and sent great updates. Max is a sweet boy, but it always takes a special person to make him feel completely comfortable, and Krystal did just that. She is reliable, caring, and super easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Justin was the best. He was never late and helped me so much. I was injured so couldn’t deal with my trash bag, Justin helped me throw them away as well. Again he’s the pro and the kindest.”

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: 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: A dog’s trust is earned, and I’ve had many experiences with dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. I volunteer at an animal shelter, which has allowed me to pick up on behaviors and quirks, and improved my ability to adapt to anything unpredictable. Safety and comfortability is my utmost priority, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try my hardest to make sure your dog is having fun! I am a uni student, so my free time may vary depending on the day. However I am pretty flexible with time when I’m not commuting or in class, as school is my biggest obligation at the moment. I am easy to reach so I can also send more updates when there’s changes in my schedule. I value safety and comfortability as I believe pets should be regarded on the same level as children. Pets are a lifelong commitment and responsibility, without safety, they can’t feel comfortable. I truly believe animals are the happiest when they feel safe. I currently have a cat who stays indoors but is given the opportunity to go outdoors when the weather is nice (under supervision). She has plenty of toys to keep her mind stimulated, places to hide if she feels overwhelmed, and comfy areas for her to snooze in.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. I am experienced with large and small breeds and cats. I enjoy walking dogs and spending time lounging with all cats. I haven’t met a cat that doesn’t like me. I prefer to take care of dogs in their homes, if they are dog friendly I would welcome them to my home. I have special needs dogs and a very friendly German shepherd I am very flexible with any schedule of pups/cats and can mirror their needs. I welcome small and senior dogs at my home and have a separate area with a crate if needed
About: As someone who grew up with dogs, both small and large, I've learned what it takes to make sure the puppies are well cared for, between giving them the right food, making sure they go on walks, and grooming. Our pets are our best friends and so we should take the greatest care of them, and I'm willing to do that for all animals alike. I'm currently a part time worker both on weekends and weekdays and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of pets. The only time I would not be able to offer my services is dueing weekends. In my home, I have a fenced yard to allow for our big huskies to have space to play and run, offering them toys that I know would keep them entertained. I also make sure to clean my dogs and ensure they eat healthily.
“Aicha was really great with our very senior dog. she got him out and walking and he seemed very happy to be in her company. I'm glad she was free to take care of him while we were at work.”

AJ was immediately responsive to my inquiry. We had a great first meeting and set up a routine walk for my dog. She sent status updates and pictures. I really appreciate the attention she gave in making sure my dog was taken care of. Can't wait to use her service again in the future.

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.

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.
