“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.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. Throughout high school and college, I regularly dog- and cat-sat for friends, neighbors, and friends of friends, caring for pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and routines. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand a pet's body language and cues. Every animal communicates differently, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I adapt my care to what they need. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and consistency while you're away. My goal is not only to make your pet feel happy and secure but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands! I recently moved back home after spending 10 months living in Madrid, and I currently work part-time remotely. Because of my flexible schedule, I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's daytime walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to recognize when a pet is relaxed, excited, or anxious. Whether we're going for walks, playing, feeding, or just relaxing together, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I also understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful for both you and your pet. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and in good hands!!
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!

About: I’ve been a nanny for 3 years, and all of my families have had multiple pets. On top of taking care of the kiddos, I found joy in going for walks and caring for the pets! I’ve also house sat/dog sat for a few years and really enjoy the flexibility of doing so while juggling nursing school. I am currently a nursing student at Sac State! Over summer I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! During school I will also have free time and love to get out of the house and move my body and hang out with cute fur babies!! I have a fenced yard and a friendly kitty!! I am happy to crate your pup if needed, but we have a big back yard to play in.
About: Hello! Primarily, I am a speech-language pathologist by day, but I love animals and have always grown up with a full fur ball house. I love hiking and being outdoors with friends. I love animals and have grown up my entire childhood with dogs and cats, as well as other animals. I have been sitting on Rover for approximately 6 ish years now. I love taking dogs on long or short walks, whichever you prefer. Don't be afraid to ask any questions, I am very open and would love to be able to connect and take care of your dog(s)! Directions for your animal can be specific, as I am used to giving and being given these directions from past experiences. I am so excited to meet you and your furball(s)! I am currently available on weekends (friday-sunday) or on weekday nights during September - June and have more availability during the summer months. Please feel free to reach out with your schedule. I look forward to it! I value safety for any animal, I want them to feel comfortable with me and will work to build a relationship with them while keeping them safe. Is your pet a rescue or a new pet to the home? If so, are there any hesitancies I should know about when with them?
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: I have taken care of animals my whole life, growing up we had 5 cats and 3 dogs! I currently own just my kitty at the moment and have the extra time to care for your pets! Whatever your needs are I can get them taken care of! With love and care :p Working from home gives me the ability to tend to most day to day needs most families don’t have the time for! Getting out of the house is something I do daily for exercise! So dog walking/pet visits work perfectly for my schedule. With the same care I’d give my animals. With respect and love. Being good with children also correlates very well with caring for animals. Most important factor in my opinion, is being protective. I will make sure your animals are always 100% safe with me. I can lift up to 200lbs, so in the case of a bigger dog, that won’t be a problem.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have had a soft spot for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve joked that animals understand me better than people do, so being around them feels pretty natural to me. I have an 11-year-old Labrador with medical needs, which has taught me a lot about being patient, paying attention to the little things, and giving senior pets the extra care they need. I’ve also enjoyed walking and caring for the dogs of friends and neighbors over the years. I’m a calm and gentle person, and I think pets pick up on that. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and for you to have that same peace of mind. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, get to know their personality, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also send you updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing and can feel a little more connected while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pups and give them the attention they deserve. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., seven days a week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and take my time with each visit rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I enjoy having a flexible schedule because it allows me to make pet care a priority and be there when you need me. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, or a little extra company during the day, I’m happy to be there. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priority. Before a visit, I’ll take the time to learn about their routine, personality, and anything I should be aware of, including medications, feeding instructions, or behaviors. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your instructions closely, and keep an eye out for anything that seems unusual. I’m also happy to send updates and photos during each visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting the care they need.
“Thank you so much Michelle for walking our two pups! They were so happy each day and we loved to see the pictures and read your descriptions of the day. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Folsom
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!

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.
