“Josh has been walking my dog for a couple of months now and I couldn’t be happier with the service that he’s been providing. He is flexible and responsive. He treats my dog like his own and always takes such amazing care of her. Misia loves Josh and the time they spend together. Recently, she has been co-walking with another dog and the way Josh approached the whole situation with making sure the dogs get along etc has been perfect! He really goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs he walks have the best time!”
“Richard saved the day and came on short notice to walk my two giant shepherds on this chilly winter day. He was kind and efficient and my dogs loved him. We will definitely use Richard again. Thank you so muc!”

“Michael is the best dog walker. He takes excellent care of my dogs. He is always going above and beyond. He will bring packages in, take garbage can in, and alert me if he sees something wrong at my house or is concerned about the dogs. He always gives the dogs a treat before he leaves.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.
About: I have taken care of friends and family’s fur babies for years and now looking to help others! I have house/dog sat many times including puppies and elder dogs. I have a ton of patience and love for animals which allows me to connect with each pet and give them the care they need. I currently work full time from home. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and be able to do check ins/walks during the week. I am usually free weekends as well. I follow any instructions given by the fur parents. You know your fur baby the best so I make sure I follow the routine as closely as possible.
“Reina has been a relief for us while our family member who usually dog-sits is recovering from surgery. She’s a great communicator and very affectionate towards our puppy Fritz. We appreciate having her to help us!”

I've also breed dogs since I was younger and still breeding so I also know how to deal with pregnant female dogs as well if needed. Weekdays my schedule is from 5:30-9. I do have a part time job as well, weekends i can take care or even walk dogs,puppies from 1pm -6pm I don’t have anything hazardous in my house and I’ll always be attentive and near the pet so there isn’t any mistakes possible. My house is a safe zone for all animals
About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, and spending time with cats/dogs is something that genuinely brings me joy. Pet sitting and walking allows me to combine my passion for pets with the opportunity to help others care for their furry family members. Whether it’s making sure your cat/pup gets enough exercise, providing companionship while you’re away, or simply giving them some extra love and attention, I take the responsibility seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment for them. I enjoy the outdoors, staying active, and connecting with animals, which makes dog walking the perfect fit for me. Most of all, I know how much pets mean to their owners, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while giving your fur baby the care and affection they deserve. I look forward in hearing from you! Schedule ⏰: Whenever a family is in need of a sitter or just a quick check in, I hope to be the one you call! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m happy to work around what works best for you & your furbaby! Safety & trust🩷: In your home, I respect your space and stick to your dog’s normal schedule as much as possible to reduce stress. In my care, dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and play—especially if they’re energetic and love toys. I also provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I was really nervous about using the service for the first time but I’m so glad I did. I felt very comfortable with Sydney when we met over the phone, she is reliable, kind and conscientious. I will definitely be calling her again and I highly recommend her services.”
About: I’m friendly, caring, and love spending time with animals. I have a dog of my own and grew up with a dog, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles. I’m currently a part-time student, so I have some extra flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to dedicate time throughout the week to caring for pets, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or pet sitting. I have a dog of my own who loves having other dogs around, so your pet will have some company if they stay with me. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but I’m happy to take dogs on walks, visit a dog park, and play with them indoors. I’m also more than happy to come to your home and care for your pet in their familiar environment.
About: Since 2010, I have always owned two dogs at a time. I love animals, love meeting new pets, and have a lot of patience. I would love to get to know your fur baby. 🙂 I am available 4 days/week, including every weekend. I can do walks, feeds, drop ins, play time, whatever your current needs may be. I have a lot of flexibility on my available days. I have a large fenced in yard if your dog likes to run and requires exercise. I also have an XL crate in my home, that my dogs no longer need, but could be used if your pup would prefer an enclosed area for sleeping.
About: I love animals and have had pets all my life. My experience in caring for animals includes most recently dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I currently have a dog and care for my son’s cat when he is out of town. My relationship with animals has always been amazing because I give them loving attention and ensure their needs are met. It will be my pleasure to have an opportunity to love and care for your pets I offer drop-in care, which means I can pop by your house during the day to check on your pets, handle feedings, and get them some exercise. While I'm not available for full-time house sitting or overnight stays, I build my drop-in visits completely around your pet's needs. I’m a big outdoors person, so when I come by, I love getting them outside for some fresh air, a good neighborhood walk, or a fun play session to burn off some energy. However, I’m just as happy spending quiet time indoors—ensuring your cats or other pets are fed, comfortable, attended to, and feeling secure while you're out." During my visits, I’ll happily spend time outside playing fetch in the backyard or taking your pets for a walk at a nearby park. When inside, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that!). Most importantly, I stick strictly to your preferred feeding times and house rules, ensuring your pet is happy, fed, and safe before I head out.
“Kimberly was excellent with my foster dog Maggie! I didn't have to worry at all during my vacation knowing she was in good hands. I will definitely use her in the future.”

Mellony is awesome! Gus liked her at first meeting. Me too😃. Very good communication at this early stage in our relationship. Her walking notes are good to know information. The pics she adds to her walking notes make me smile. Gus looks happy and content. Must mention she composes the best pictures. Glad to have found Mellony
Jen was great with our dog Ozzy! We reached out with short notice for someone to drop in and check on Ozzy and take him for a walk, and Jen was perfect! I loved seeing the Rover cards after each walk. Jen was very communicative and we felt very comfortable with her. We would definitely use her again!

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 Penn Valley. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
