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.
“Great experience! She followed all care instructions, and our dog came back happy and well exercised every time. Communication was great and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Would definitely book again. 🐾”

“Wendy was amazing in walking Chiku!! I can tell he warmed up to her super quickly. She was very attentive and kind towards Chiku. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and I don’t just “watch” pets—I build a relationship with them. My own dog, Gadget, is almost 12 years old, and I’ve been his lifelong best friend, snuggle buddy, walker, and groomer. Whether it’s trail hikes, neighborhood strolls, or indoor games like hide-and-seek, I tailor care to what each dog enjoys most. What makes me different is my calm, caring approach. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to respond to a pet’s needs, not just follow a routine. I believe clear communication, trust, and creating a safe environment are essential to happy pets. From house training to meal routines to peaceful walks, I care for every dog like they’re part of my family—because to me, they are. As a stay-at-home dad, my schedule is flexible day or night and pet care is a natural part of our daily rhythm. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends to care for your pup with the same attention and love I give my own buddy, Gadget. My two daughters are also part of our pet-loving household—they enjoy going on walks and sharing snuggles with our furry visitors. Whether it’s a calm companion or a playful pup, your dog will be part of a warm, active, and caring environment throughout the day. I’d like to be mindful of creating a safe, trusting, and interactive environment for your pup in your home. I’d like to think I have a great attention to detail and like to keep things organized and clean just the way you need it.

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.
About: I had a beagle from age 6 to 22. From 22 to 36 I had a Maine Coon. I currently have 2 cute ginger cats and a fat grey and white cat. Everyone was a rescue! I own a small business and work from home. I can get to your home in the Elk Grove area very easily and quickly to visit with your critters. We prepare fresh meals for our cats. 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: We are a mother, daughter duo! You may meet myself YingYing or Annie, my daughter. However, we provide the same adequate care! Animal sitting has been a big thing of ours since we can remember and now that we have adopted Bingo, it has pushed us to do this full-time. We have had Bingo for about 3 years with no issues and no emergency pet visits. She is healthy and lively albeit a little lazy. You can say she is at the top of our food chain in our household. We live in an area where there are trails right next to our house for walks and the park is a block away. We also have a minivan that can take the doggies to the park if they have mobility issues. We are equipped in handling pushy dogs when they are walking and can control their behaviors. Additionally, we can read some body cues from dogs. Please message or email us before booking so we are aware of your dog’s situation and are able to care for them to the full extent. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids aged 10 and 14 so I can accept bookings whenever is necessary. I intend to pet sit as a full time job with opening on the weekends as well. Bingo is quite calm and careless. She is trained to go into a bedroom on command and we have multiple helping hands to situate her and your own fur baby.

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: Animals have always been my people. 🐾 I've spent over 20 years as a devoted pet owner, including my two wonderful Australian Shepherds. I am so grateful to have had them in my life to love and spoil! Ella and Maddie were well traveled too, even visiting the Grand Canyon and Yosemite! All my friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets and homes while they are away and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Early in my career, I spent five years as a Pet Care Manager at PetSmart, caring daily for all the animals, keeping them healthy and happy until we helped pair them with their forever homes. I'm very experienced with all levels of pet care, including special needs that require medications, injections, complex dietary routines, and reinforcing training. I am ready to handle whatever your pet needs, especially extra play time and cuddles. I am equally obsessed with all dogs and cats, and care for all breeds, sizes, and ages, from puppies and kittens through their senior years. I’m also experienced caring for birds, fish, reptiles, and small pets. 🐱🐰🐠 🐦🦎 I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so your babies get my attention all day! As a longtime Rover client myself, I know exactly what you're looking for when you're searching for the right sitter: someone experienced, trustworthy, and who will treat your animals like their own. That's a promise I take seriously. I'm currently welcoming new clients in the Elk Grove area and would love to meet you and your crew. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🐶 🐱 I work remotely and can dedicate most of my time hanging out with your fur babies! I’m able to stay in your home full time. I am child free and currently do not have a dog or cat. Currently, I am able to house sit and only offering boarding in my home on a case by case basis. You let me know what your fur baby needs and I have it handled! They will get my all my attention, cuddles, and play time.
About: Hi! My name is Liz. I recently re-downloaded Rover after being away for a few years, and I’m excited to start pet sitting again through Rover. I’m a college graduate with years of experience caring for pets through my mom’s Rover account, along with ongoing cat sitting jobs and trusted repeat clients. I’m known for being a great communicator, dependable, and attentive to both pets and owners. I offer house sitting, drop-ins, walks, overnight care, and can also help with light household tasks like bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, pulling trash cans in or out, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. I especially love caring for senior pets and pets who do best staying in the comfort of their own home. I understand every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I always try to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone. For overnight stays, my fiancé may occasionally accompany me for safety and comfort purposes, but your pet’s care and respect for your home always come first. I’m happy to communicate openly beforehand so everyone feels comfortable and confident. Feel free to message me anytime with questions. I respond quickly and would love to see if we’re a good fit for you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule during the week. Outside of pet sitting, I spend my time applying to jobs in clinical research, running errands, doing chores, and meeting with friends, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like a chore to me. I’m very attentive with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. At this time, I only offer care in my client’s home because I have an anxious 9-year-old tabby cat at home, and I want to keep his environment calm and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For overnight stays, I usually stay in the guest room or designated area of the home, and many pets enjoy sleeping nearby or spending time with me throughout the day. I’m very respectful of your home and prioritize cleanliness, safety, and communication. I make sure doors are securely locked, pets are supervised carefully, and feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and potty breaks are handled consistently. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them happy during your absence. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy, and loving environment where both you and your pets feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was 10 years old. Growing up, I often brought home stray dogs and cats that needed love, care, and a safe place to stay. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets while they were out of town or busy with work. I always made sure their pets stayed on their normal feeding, potty, and exercise routines, and I treated every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to provide updates while you’re away. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow their daily routine, provide plenty of playtime, exercise, love, and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or instructions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate them. In addition to caring for your pets, I’ll also help keep your home tidy and in order so you can return to a clean, stress-free environment. It would be my pleasure to care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing they’re in loving and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I schedule my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive the attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to keeping your pet on their normal routine. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow all care instructions, and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of exercise, lots of affection, and a safe, stress-free environment where they feel loved and secure.

She was on time every day and our 2 dogs just jumped in her car and loved their walks, especially since I had pulled a hamstring and couldn't take them on walks myself!

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.

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.

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.
