About: I have owned animals for most of my life and have always had genuine love for pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their animals because they know I am dependable, patient, and attentive. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently in school and studying to be a vet-tech! I stay at home, and do schooling online so I have plenty of time with my pets and any pets I take care of! I take safety and trust seriously and always follow each pet parent’s instructions and routine. I take my time when entering a pet’s home so they can get comfortable with me at their own pace. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean and secure environment, and plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet space depending on what they need. I also keep doors, gates, and leashes secure and will communicate with owners about how their pet is doing during each visit.

About: Hi there! I’m Ana! 😊 I’ve been caring for animals for over a decade and honestly can’t imagine doing anything else. Pet care started as a side gig years ago and slowly turned into one of my favorite parts of life. These days I get to spend my time caring for all kinds of amazing animals while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. I currently have more than 100 five star ⭐️ reviews 🥹❤️ and experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from tiny kittens and senior dogs to parrots, reptiles, rodents, rabbits, fish, tortoises, chickens, and more! 🐶🐱🦜🦎🐀🐇 If you have a multi-pet household, unusual pets, or a pet with special routines, there’s a good chance I’ve seen something similar before! ⸻ Experience & Special Care 💊🐾 I am comfortable caring for: ✅ Senior pets ✅ Oral medications ✅ Inhalers and special care routines ✅ Large and giant breed dogs ✅ Puppies and high-energy dogs ✅ Multi-pet households ✅ Cats with big personalities 😹 ✅ Birds, reptiles, rodents, rabbits, fish, and other specialty pets I know every pet is different, so my goal is always to follow your routine as closely as possible. You’re the expert on your pet—I just want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ ⸻ What You Can Expect 📸✨ One thing you’ll never have to wonder is how your pet is doing. I love sending updates, photos, funny moments, and little check-ins throughout visits because I know how much we all miss our animals when we’re away. 😊 Services can include: 🐾 Feeding & fresh water 🐾 Walks & exercise 🐾 Playtime & enrichment 🐾 Medication administration 🐾 Litter box cleaning 🐾 Yard cleanup 🐾 Lots of pictures 📸 🐾 Plenty of cuddles (if approved by the pet 😆) ⸻ Cat Boarding Information 🐱🏡 My husband Joey and I share our home with our two resident cats, Gandalf and Azuki. ❤️ When boarding cats, we always start by providing a separate area so they can settle in comfortably at their own pace. Some cats want immediate friendship, some prefer a slower introduction, and some simply want to observe everyone from a shelf while silently judging us. 🤣 Whatever makes your cat comfortable, we’re happy to work with it. ⸻ A Little Extra Peace of Mind 🌱📬 I am also happy to: 📦 Bring in packages 📬 Collect mail 🪴 Water plants 🗑️ Take trash bins in/out 🚨 Discuss emergency and veterinary plans before your trip 🔑 Keep track of house keys carefully I believe good pet care is about the little details just as much as the big ones. ⸻ Final Thoughts ❤️ I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether your pet has feathers, fur, scales, whiskers, or a little bit of attitude 😆, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾😊 Pet care is a priority in my life ❤️. As my health became more stable, I decided to focus on work that I genuinely enjoy—and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things. Because pet sitting is my primary work, I schedule my days around my clients’ pets. Whether your pet needs walks, medication, playtime, feeding, or extra attention, I strive to provide dependable care and regular updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities ❤️. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their routine, personality, medical needs, fears, favorite activities, and any behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know, the better I can care for them. I have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and working with pets who need a little extra patience and reassurance.

About: ​Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. ​Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 12, but in the last 2 years or so I have helped family and friends with their dogs whenever needed. I am able to feed them on time, take them out on walks and potty breaks, play with them, and administer any medication. I’m currently only working in pet sitting and babysitting jobs. Watching pets is my full time job and I love it! I am available anytime and any day. I have a fenced yard that creates a safe area for dogs. I have an indoor cat that is very shy and will probably be in my bedroom with the door closed. She is very friendly.

Debbie greeted the boys with a smile and such warm energy, and provided the most thorough update after their walk. She came fully prepared with wipes to clean them off afterward, which came in especially handy when one of the other boys decided to pee on Baxter’s head 😂. She went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her. We’ll definitely be repeat customers. Thank you, Debbie!

About: Long time dog owner and lover. My 1.5 year old husky mix has been my ultimate challenge. I've learned more patience and gained confidence as we work towards making her a model citizen. If you also wouldn't describe you dog as "easy" I might be the right fit for you. I am currently home full time with my pup. This means I have lots of time and flexibility to work with all types of schedules. I have experience with many types of handling equipment and can confidently crate you dog or calmly leave them on their favorite bed. I will follow your directions and do all I can to keep your pups routine consistent.

About: I've been a pet owner and animal lover my whole life! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have experience volunteering in animal shelters and watching friends' pets. I currently own both a dog and cat, and am happy to take care of both. I understand that pets are family and I'll treat them like my very own. I will provide a calm, reliable, caring experience for your pets. I am currently able to accept short-term overnights (3-4 nights), with the possibility of a longer commitment with drop-in visits. My job is somewhat flexible, but your pet must be ok with staying alone for at least 4 hours at a time. My current job provides me with a very flexible schedule during summer months. I can work most hours of the day (mornings, afternoons, evenings) and am more than happy to book any last-minute requests for sitting or walks. I have a car so I can easily drive to clients' homes for walks, check-ins or overnight stays. I have experience running my own small business, and I understand the importance of organization, communication and reliability with my clients. I love animals and getting to know them, and I will take care of your animals as if they're my own.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, so caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with rescues, fostered dogs, and recently rescued a pup of my own after moving to the Sacramento area. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own, with patience, love, attention, and plenty of affection. As a fellow animal mom, my goal is to make your loved one feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. Since I have a dog of my own, my days already include regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m able to adjust my schedule based on each dog’s individual routine and needs, making sure they receive consistent care, companionship, and love throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medications or special instructions closely and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly pup of my own and make sure any introductions are done thoughtfully so everyone feels safe and comfortable.

Bari treats the dogs like they are her own, she’s flexible, and has helped me out when I’m in a bind. The highlight of my day is getting the Rover pictures because I can see how happy Charlie is.

She also helped with pet sitting, and I always felt comfortable knowing my dog was in her care. We’re moving, so unfortunately we can’t continue using her services, but I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker or pet sitter.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Parkway-South Sacramento

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Parkway-South Sacramento on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,958 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Parkway-South Sacramento. 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 Parkway-South Sacramento. 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 Parkway-South Sacramento.

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 Parkway-South Sacramento. 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.
