“Amy is very thorough and thoughtful. She took copious notes on my senior dog and changed her diaper and wiped her paws awesomely per my request. When faced with language barriers, Amy is still communicative, kind and respectful— my mom liked her too!”
“Betty walks my dog Lucy and is so great! She's very professional, accommodating and I know Lucy enjoys her time with her so much! I'm so thankful to have such a great dog walker to rely on.”
“Barbara has a very Calm disposition and is very good with Mowgli. He enjoyed his walk with her and seems calm when around her. She is very prompt and respectful. And communicates well. We will be definitely asking her to take our Mowgli for a walk again. Thanks Barbara!!”
About: I have experience in all breeds and sizes. I’m especially familiar with larger pushy breeds, I’m very patient. I have confidence around untrained and trained. I’m firm but gentle. I love dogs and spend my days off doing doggy days out. I currently work on a barn with many animals, they all need care but I have time to come and take care of your pet. I do not have set hours so I can come at anytime. I feed, train, walk animals in my home. I would treat your pets as my own, important and one In a million. I’m open to all styles of care, how ever you instruct me.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I genuinely love animals! I've spent the past 5 years caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, including shy, energetic, anxious, and reactive pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just having someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they need! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I'm big on communication and will gladly send pictures and updates throughout our time together so you know your furry family member is doing well. I'm also comfortable with house sitting, following detailed instructions, and respecting your home and your pet's normal routine. I don't mind cameras in shared spaces, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐶🐱🧡 I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! 🐾 I do have a full-time job, but I have flexibility with my schedule and can make adjustments ahead of confirmed bookings. I primarily offer house sitting and dog walking. For overnight stays, I'm happy to stay in a guest room if one is available! Since I live in Orangevale, I'm also open to arranging visits throughout the day and returning to my own home at night, depending on your pet's needs. I'm always happy to talk through expectations and schedules before confirming a booking to make sure we're a great fit! I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! 🐾 For dogs, a typical day might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of attention and cuddles. If they're comfortable in public spaces and their owner approves, I'm happy to take them to a nearby park for some extra outdoor time! For cats, I love interactive playtime with their favorite toys, giving them pets when they're in the mood, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. I always adjust activities based on each pet's energy level, personality, and routine. Whether they're full of energy or prefer a relaxing day, I'm happy to match their vibe!
“My dog has only been walked by me and I wasn't sure how he'd do being walked by someone else. He immediately was comfortable with Michael. My dog is a large mastiff and is very strong. Michael has good knowledge about dog training and behavior and is great at making sure my dog listens and is well behaved on his walks.”
About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
About: I have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and needs! I am comfortable with caring for animals needing extra attention, elder pets, administering medication if needed, and making it my standard to treat your pet like my own! I myself have two kitties and a dog, so I know how important it is that they are around people with relaxing and good energy, which I can provide! A fun fact about me is that I am an Air Force veteran, so I am responsible and reliable!! I am currently a full-time student at Sacramento State, so I am at school from 9-10:15am Monday through Thursday starting this fall, which allows me to be available for your pet before and after class! I also work part-time from home on Mondays and Wednesdays and Fridays :) When I pet sit, I make sure that I leave the space I am pet sitting in just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. I respect the environments I am welcomed into and show my gratitude for any opportunity to fill a space by treating it as my own!
About: Your pup will love the fact that he/she can run and play and get one on one attention. I love to take care of pets and know just how to make your pets day fun and stimulating so when they come home they can be the warm fuzzy friend you love! I am a stay at home mom so I have open availability. Did I mention I take hikes?!? Yep that's right folks...a dog sitter that will actually take your fur baby on an adventure when you're at work! I personally have been training pups since I was 15 years old, so that will be a part of the daily activities. If your fur baby has special needs that is fine too! My mom and I have been involved with Muttville for years! Pittbull and other (“aggressive”) breeds 110% welcome!! I use that term EXTREMELY LOOSELY! I will host any breed of dog, I do not believe it is the dogs breeding that causes aggression or biting. Most times it is just inexperience on the humans part or fear on the dogs part. Feel confident bringing your pup to stay with me, I monitor all activity and continue to reinforce your training expectations while you’re away.
“Jarrod was great with my furry kids. He helped me with short-notice requests, including dog walking and kitty care. All of them were happy after his visit and support. Highly recommend his pet services. Thank you, Jarrod!”
About: I've taken care of and owned a wide range of dogs including different breeds and ages my entire life and have a lot of experience with a wide range of temperaments. My two households currently have a total of 6 dogs including a Tibetan Terrier, two mini poodles, chihuahua, German shepherd, and a husky. I also have taken care of havanese, American Staffordshire terrier, and a great dane. I have experience grooming as well as my step-sister owns a grooming shop that I help out in. I have experience with senior dogs with medical issues as well, my husky is older and has an auto immune disorder which requires medicine twice a day. I currently am a full-time online student, so I can do my work whenever I want. Which leaves me a pretty empty schedule! I am available everyday, from anytime! My typical day basically revolves around dogs! I have a medium sized fenced in yard for your pup to run around in! I have two super friendly 1 year old mini poodle's that love to keep other dogs company and get along with every dog they have ever met. I can also use a crate for my dogs or yours if needed/wanted!
About: I've been taking care of people's pets for around 10 years for neighbors and friends. I've pet sat overnight, taken care of various sizes and ages of pets, and I am able to feed, bathe, walk, and play with your pets. I have a passion for animals and have experience with growing up with dogs during my lifetime. While I am not a licensed trainer, I do have experience training my own dogs to do various tricks and potty training. I work almost full-time with two jobs. My work schedule is consistent every week and I am very good with time management and my planning out my schedule. I'm willing to make your schedule fit within my schedule. I already go on walks so this is already something that’s part of my routine. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands. I can play with your pet and give it the full attention it needs when you are away. I can feed, walk, bathe, and play with them. I would much prefer to care for dogs that are people friendly and not aggressive as I am a small human being. I'll ask you a few questions to ensure the safety of your pet and for me as well.

She is ammaaaazing! Amira is stubborn as a mule, but she handles her with care and even trained her to calm down on the pulling. Even brought her snacks for a lil persuasion which def works with Amira. Amira smiles and her entire body wiggles when she knows Anastassia is coming. She is so happy!
Zackary was fantastic to work with. We had initially been a little worried that we wouldn't be able to find someone to walk 2 large dogs at once. Zachary showed up and was able to put our worries to rest. We had a test-run where he showed up and put on their harnesses and took them around the neighborhood for a test run. He was so kind and willing to work with our special instructions (just come around the back, harnesses will be set here, knock on the back door to get the dogs to come out, etc) For the week we were gone on vacation, he had showed up on time , took them for long daily walks, sent updates and did everything to make sure we felt comfortable and that our dogs were happy, healthy and well exercised. Highly recommended if you're looking for a super-nice dog walker who is super-competent, punctual and great to work with. Thank you Zackary!! :)
Aubrie is amazing! We had just moved with our one year old golden retriever & were nervous about how we’d keep him entertained on days we both had to work. Aubrie responded to our inquiry almost immediately & was so easy to schedule a meet & greet & first walk with. She quickly gained our trust & communicates perfectly with plenty of pictures & updates when she’s with our pup. She didn’t shy away from our dog’s crazy, puppy energy & he loves to hang out with her! Would definitely recommend Aubrie to anyone that is looking for a companion for their furry friend!
Melody is awesome! She’s so kind and patient with my senior dog. She’s also super helpful and friendly with my elderly mom. I went on a trip and am lucky Melody was there to change my dog’s diapers, walk her several times a day, and assist my mom with feeding my dog. Melody really cares about animals and won’t hesitate to help you care for your pet while you’re away. She even did a meet and greet with me and my dog beforehand. Truly adore Melody and looking forward to using her services again!

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 Folsom. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
