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.

Krystal was absolutely wonderful with Max! She walked him mornings and evenings while I was away and sent great updates. Max is a sweet boy, but it always takes a special person to make him feel completely comfortable, and Krystal did just that. She is reliable, caring, and super easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my family my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for many years. I have two amazing little orange cats of my own, Fred and George (can you tell my partner and I are Harry Potter fans too?) They mean the world to me, so I know how important your pet is to you. I have experience with puppies/kittens, as well as senior dogs and cats as well. I’m excited to get to know your pet, as they are an important part of your family, and I can ensure I will go above and beyond to care for them as you would. Overall, my goal is to always ensure your pet feels extra love and companionship in your absence, because I know that’s when they need it most. Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I am available whenever you need me! I can work early mornings and late nights if needed. I am reliable and timely and can drive to wherever you are. I have great attention to detail for any specific instructions you may have for your pet(s). I can handle caring for multiple pets daily while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I know it can be stressful for a new person to enter their space, but I pride myself in doing whatever I can to be a sense of comfort for them.

I contacted Justin pretty last minute due to a change in my schedule and he was able to accommodate a walk for my dog the following day. He came within the allotted timeframe, played with my dog after her walk, and even managed to say hi to my cats. Thank you!

Pedro has been the best dog walker. He really gets dogs and I love his patience and solutions mind to work with my newer adopted dog. She’s so responsive and especially while I’m unable to walk, it matters to have someone just help. He does little extras beyond just the walking and I’ve seen her behavior get better and better too. He’s taught me tips and tricks. You are in great hands with Pedro. He really gets dogs.

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: Hi there, welcome to my Profile! :) Ever since I was a child, I've been extremely passionate about pets. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, and even goats. I even helped my cat birth a litter of kittens right in my very own bedroom when I was in fourth grade. I have experience with senior-pets, administering medication, bottle-feeding, and even crate-training. Animals aren't able to verbally express their needs like us, so experience is necessary in order to figure out what each one needs to live a happy life. I've translated this experience into my job working with special needs children and adults. I'm extremely patient, caring, and passionate about making a positive impact on the world. I hope you entrust me with the care of your pet! I'm currently working part-time at a second job and have a great amount of free time! I'm available seven days a week, times will change weekly. I'm extremely flexible and able to work with different schedules! I have a fenced yard including a fence surrounding my in-ground pool. Pictures can be provided if necessary! I have a medium-sized backyard including a grass area for potty breaks.

About: Being a dog mom myself has taught me how different every pup can be. Some want to play nonstop, some prefer to stay close to you, and others need a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I’m patient and attentive to those differences. I pay attention to body language, energy levels, eating habits, potty routines, and overall behavior so I can recognize when a pup is happy, needs a break, or needs a little extra reassurance. I want every dog staying with me to feel seen, understood, and cared for. ❤️ The Care I Provide Your pup’s stay is more than simply having someone watch them. I want them to have a fun, comfortable experience while maintaining the routines they’re used to. I can provide: * 🐾 Plenty of love, attention & companionship * 🏃 Daily exercise and supervised play * 🌳 Safe outdoor time in our fenced yard * 💤 Quiet time and opportunities to rest * 💊 Oral medication administration * 🐶 Experience with senior dogs * 📸 Regular photo & message updates * ❤️ Personalized care based on your pup’s personality and routine * 🐶 Socialization with your own dogs * 🧸 Lots of play/enrichment * ❤️ Individual attention * 🛏️ A comfortable home environment * 🐾 Experience handling multiple dogs * 💬 Consistent communication with owners ⭐ Why Choose Me? Your dog isn’t just a booking. They’re a guest in our home. 🏡 I take pride in creating a clean, safe, loving environment where pups can be themselves while their families are away. I’m attentive to the little things, communicate consistently, and genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog that stays with us. And because I love building relationships with both pups and their families, repeat guests are especially special to me. 🐾❤️ Hi! I’m Naiomie, and I’m a loving, responsible dog mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. ❤️ When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax, play, get plenty of attention, and feel right at home. I enjoy getting to know each pup’s unique personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that’s personalized to them. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, a professional cuddler, or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and making sure each pup’s individual needs are followed carefully. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, which is why communication is very important to me. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos, messages, and little moments from their pup’s stay so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. 🐶💕 I’m flexible with advance notice and do my best to accommodate each family’s needs. My goal is simple: for your pup to feel loved, safe, and completely at home while you’re away. ❤️ I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a beautiful park outside my home to take your pup on walks and get active.

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: I have been a proud parent to many labs. Few dogs can match their energy. I look forward to loving your pups like I love mine! I work a hybrid schedule and am typically available, throughout the day, 5+ days a week (including weekends). I am an avid walker and used to walking multiple miles a day with my dog. My availability is relatively well planned out, so if you request a sitting in advance, I can always let you know if I will be available. I love all of my pets as if they were my children. I love dogs and cats more than anything. I have two lovely cats and have had two magnificent labs in the past. There are few dogs that can throw more at you than a lab, so I'm sure I can handle your pup!

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.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 3,931 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hood. 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 Hood. 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 Hood.

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 Hood. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
