About: I learn super quickly, caring, kind, honest, hardworking, efficient, and love animals and want to work with them more someday! I want a farm too. I am currently unemployed but have worked in the restaurant industry for 3 years. I will go to school twice a week for community college. I love to play with the animals, take them on walks to beautiful parks, and willingly to bath them. Feeding is the more important part.

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: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am experienced with puppies, senior pets, medications, basic first aid, and I pride myself on being dependable, loving, patient, and attentive. My home offers a fully fenced yard, locked gate, covered patio, and dog door access for a safe and comfortable stay. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight care, they’ll be loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I walk every morning. I work from home during the week, taking breaks throughout the day. Thankfully my schedule is flexible and many times I like to add in an evening walk as well, weather permitting. Whether in my home or yours, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment while carefully following routines, special instructions, and care needs. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and secure, and for every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is in trusted hands.

Pedro did a great job today. We had to make a change in schedule at the last minute so that I could go to a medical appointment. He picked up Kody and kept him until I returned. Kody had a great time and was a tired puppy when he got home! Thanks Pedro!

About: I love animals and being able to assist people. I had two cotton de tulears growing up and have watched and cared for my friends chihuahua whenever she vacations. I am working a part time job with flexible hours and sometimes I also do work remotely so I can work with your schedule as much as time allows and with knowledge ahead of time. The way that I take care of houses and pets is the same because I do both based off of your instruction. I know that routine is important and I think where I really strive is listening to your wishes and communicating.

We haver cat backpacks and crates to transport them around. They like to visit outside and pretend they are still wild. One likes to explore. The other two are afraid of their shadows.

About: I have enjoyed caring for animals all my life. I always try to make friends with them by making sure they feel safe and loved. I am pretty flexible with my hours throughout the week. I have a job in Old Sacramento but it’s only a few days a month. I have resident cats living in my home that are very territorial. I would need to care for cats and dogs in the client’s home

About: Hello, fellow pet lovers! I'm Carrie. I've been living in a great community in Elk Grove, CA for over 16 years. My family lives in a single house with a moderate size and secured fenced backyard. For dog boarding, the doggies have a dedicated spaces in my TV room so that I can always accompany with and take care of them. My TV room has a sliding door and make the doggies easier to play outside in a safe and fenced backyard for every 2 hours. Playing at my backyard is always the best for dog boarding than walking outside in an unfamiliar environment. I'm here to ensure your pets have a loving, safe & comfortable environment while you enjoy a weekend getaway or take care of those long-overdue errands. With over 20 years of combined pet experience, including caring for my own two dogs (one currently living with us), I genuinely adore meeting new furry friends and connecting with our neighbors. Whether it's a quick walk or several days of care, I've built a reputation for being reliable and loving pet sitters. Living just a stone's throw from a beautiful CSD run community park means your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. Plus, I live in a single house with a great securely fenced backyard offers a safe space for them to play and do their business. I also provide check-in services to your furry family members at home if they feel more comfortable that way! I can't wait to meet your beloved pet and provide them with the same care and affection I give our own. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions or concerns!!– I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm a home maker which means I can and will dedicate our full attention 24/7 to looking after your pets, ensuring they receive all the love and care they need. For pets that need to be taken out or checked up on, I can do that as well with no pets will be left behind! I live in a single house with a securely fenced backyard where your pets can roam freely and safely, along with indoor gates to keep them out of places they shouldn't be. Upon request, I also have leashes for fun park walks and cozy crates for those much-needed naps.

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: 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: 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).

Vicente & Victor were very friendly and very quick on communication. Brandi is pretty picky on who she just goes up to and appears pretty comfortable around them. I was pretty nervous since I've only left her with family and friends she knew but they made me feel comfortable and safe having them take her...btw, this is the first time I e ever used a service like this. I'll be continuing our relationship and look forward to the upcoming meetings ..thx guys ?

About: Before you read my bio, please note that I value communication, and it’s extremely important for me, especially when you're trying to book me as a dog sitter. If you decide to go with someone else, that's okay - just be formal and let me know so I can adjust my schedule accordingly and take care of other dogs who may need care. ⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣶⣿⣶⡾⠁ ⠠⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀ ⠀⠙⢿⣶⣶⣾⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠿⠃⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⠛⠻⢿⣦⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠟⠁⠘⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡀⠀⠀⠹⠷⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣤⠀⠀⠀⠙⠷⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hi! I’m Lauren :) ʚ₍ᐢ.  ̫.ᐢ₎ɞ a at-home veterinary student with a spacious, non-smoking home and a great backyard. Since I study from home, pets get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I have past experience caring for a Yorkie, two shorthair cats, birds, bunnies, and fish, plus 100+ volunteer hours at my local animal shelter. I know it can be hard to trust someone with your pet, so I always do my best to make both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident. - Animal Experience: 🐾🐕🐈 I’ve personally cared for a Yorkie and two shorthair cats in the past, and I also have experience looking after birds, bunnies, and fish. This has helped me become comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and care needs across a variety of animals. - Volunteering Experience: (•˕ •マ╮ᕤ Along with my personal experience, I have over 100 volunteer hours at my local animal shelter. Working with shelter animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, even in new environments. - I want every owner to feel reassured knowing their pet will be in kind, attentive, and capable hands with me. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re away from you. I’m an at-home student majoring to become a veterinarian, which means I spend most of my time studying from home and can give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I live with my mom, who works most of the day, so the home stays calm, quiet, and spacious - a great environment for animals to feel safe and comfortable. Our home is completely non-smoking and has a great, secure backyard with lots of space for playtime, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. Because I’m home so often, your pet would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. Lots of healthy treats! Great toys and nourishment:)

June was very flexible with our last minute changes. She did an excellent job with our little Bella. Bella has recently become almost completely blind. She is definitely a special needs pup. June handled her like a pro. Bella took to her right away. June gave me some great tips for helping Bella adjust to her new circumstances. I also received lots of photos of Bella while she was in her care. Bella absolutely loves June. June is a great person and care giver. I will definitely be booking with June again in the future.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,162 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
  • 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 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.
