About: I recently moved back here after having spent the last 5 years in Los Angeles. I was emotionally & mentally exhausted from working a 9-5 within such a large city. I missed my animals, the sound of nature & the outdoors. I would love to care for your pets as they enrich my life so much, and I would love to enrich theirs! A LITTLE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE: Animals have been apart of my life since I could remember: I grew up on a farm! 9 acres of land, filled with horses, chickens, cats, dogs, rats & a free roaming tortoise! The main animal I was surrounded by was cats. We had anywhere from 6-13 at a time! This was mainly due to the litter of kittens my mom, sister & I would foster for months at a time. Our primary focus was bottle baby kittens. I always say, I am a dog mom, but a cat person! Both are extremely near and dear to my heart. I’m also very athletic, so if you have a high energy dog, I don’t mind taking them for a run, dog park, hike etc. MY PETS: My dog’s name is Saint & he is my entire world. I adopted him from a rescue in Riverside, CA only a year and a half ago. He was an aggressive, scared dog who needed constant love and patience to gain his trust. Now, he is an energetic, loving, hilarious boy! Our favorite activities were hikes & playing fetch. Fun fact: he looks identical to 🐕 Saint has taught me how to care for temperamental dogs through positive reassurance as well as the importance of a dynamic, safe environment. MY SPECIALTIES: Senior dogs Energetic dogs Bottle baby kittens Senior cats Medication Live in Sacramento, work in Folsom. Weekends are open to sitting anywhere from Sac up to Placerville and beyond! Weekdays are reserved for early morning walks, late night check-ins around the area OR for those who need mid-day pet care based in Folsom! I am dynamic all around!! I live in an apartment that is open with high ceilings. I have no pets (Saint lives with my parents), smoke & child free as well! More than happy to snuggle & allow pets on furniture. I live in a safe neighbor with a lot of great space to walk.
“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 taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I enjoy running long distances so walking pets is no problem! I’m currently a graduate student and as a result my availability is quite flexible. You can expect your pet to be safe and under gentle care when they board with me. I’m currently on summer break from graduate school so I’ll have plenty of time to fit in boarding or walking through the day. My availability is quite flexible and I can usually work out any service in advance. Weekends are generally free! I have 3 cats that are quite friendly with other pets and tend to keep to themselves. Your pet should expect a comfortable experience with enrichment toys, long walks, and frequent availability for bathroom breaks. We are able to crate medium to small dogs if needed.
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?
“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: 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.
About: I’m a part-time working mom looking to fill my free hours doing what I love! I have my own special needs dog (cleft palate), and have fostered dogs previously, one with spina bifida. I’ve been raised with cats and dogs my entire life, as well as birds and small critters as a child! I’ve always cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, as well ad housesat, and spent a lot of my childhood shadowing and spending time with my cousin who was a veterinarian. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to come check on and spend time with your doggos! My schedule does change and fluctuate, but I can typically work around and with it. I don’t care for pets in my home, but when I care for them in yours, I will always treat them as my own while following all of your rules and guidelines. I know how important that is to me when someone watches my special needs dogs, so I will always respect and follow any and all instructions!
About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I’ve also been involved in wildlife rehab rehabilitation. I am also a disaster service worker doing animal rescue during fires. I’ve always had pets in my home but recently lost my cat this year and my dog last year. I’m taking a break from having pets right now as the loss is still too new. Taking care of other people’s pets gives me a chance to have my animal fix :) I am currently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands. I love all types of animals and would love to fill my days with meeting new ones. I have a fully fenced yard, Dog doors. I’m a retired state employee with 30+ years of of work experience. I’m very reliable and trustworthy.

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!

Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my full-time role in a kindergarten classroom, where I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM. My afternoons, evenings, and weekends are consistently available, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for pets during those times. I’m especially well-suited for afternoon visits, evening feedings, overnight stays, and weekend care.

About: I’ve been a dog owner all of my adult life. My kids are grown and my two dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. I have lots of love to give your babies while you are away! I work full time. I’m available to take care of your pets by 5pm and all day on my days off. I am a nurse and have a rotating schedule including every other weekend. I’m available to stay at your home with your pets are welcome to stay at my apartment. I’m also available for short days, drop ins, or simply a walk.
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
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 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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Folsom
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!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Folsom is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Folsom. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Folsom after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Folsom. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
