“Have had Isabella dog walking service for a few months now, and I am still thrilled with her service! She's super attentive for my pup and I've seen such a growth in independence and potty training since having her. Thanks a million again, Isabella!”

“Jennifer is AMAZING!! She was so accommodating to the last minute request. She exceeded my expectations by being so so so patient with my boy Bear (he was abused when he was a puppy and gave him the time he needed to acclimate. I will definitely be asking for her services again, if she’s willing! Thank you Jennifer!!”

“We were going out of town for a few days so we needed someone to walk our dog while we were away. Amanda was nothing but amazing. She quickly responded with any questions I had and the photos she took were so great to see. The biggest win is that Phoebe (our 70lb American Staffordshire Terrier) loved being around Amanda. Everyone had such positive things to say about Amanda. We will definitely rebook in the future.”


About: I am just getting back to rover and would love to discuss how I can help your pets and family. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. Previously I have helped many families through rover. I am available to help with many things from house sitting, to daily care and walks. I love dogs and have experience with many breeds, and all different kinds of animals. Currently I can not work with agressive dogs. I can work on basic obedience, and training as well. Hyper puppies I know well and can help get energy out and work on basic manners. For care here in my home I do have dogs and cats. The cats keep their distance. Your dogs dont have to spend time with the other dogs but I would like no aggresion in passing. My dogs are both females very freindly and socialized. They are indoor outdoor very loved and cared for. Just moved and working on setting up the new property. We have a secure yard and a mostly secure backyard fences only 3 ft as well as a larger partially fences. I do have kennels and beds as needed I have alot of experience, from rescue dogs to raising puppies. I have had many different breeds over the years. All dogs will love me and I will take great care of them. However I realize my home is one that may not suite all dogs. We have a busy home out in the country with many different animals. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to meet. I am home almost 24/7 so I can make sure they will get plenty of attention as well as coming in and out of the home to keep cool and safe. When I am outside dogs may go in fenced yard. I have 1 fenced play yard and a few smaller x pens I use for small dogs. Otherwise dogs are walked often or inside hanging on the couch, or in a room whichever is most comfortable for them.
About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.
About: Have volunteered at a cat shelter for six years with young and senior kitties, and have had puppies all my life! Very comfortable with the grouchiest or shyest of the bunch. I focus on socializing and enriching activities so that your kiddos can go straight to a nap after I leave. Happy to do some cleaning during my visit to keep things tidy. Laid off right now and apart from studying for a certification, I'm home and available for visits! My radius is set small so I should be a max ~10 min drive away, easy :-) When doing home visits it's important to me to show respect for you and your home while you're gone. Open to following any additional non-pet instructions to keep your home fresh!

About: This is my first time working to take care of animals. I have had fur babies my whole adult life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats. I have a cat and a dog right now I’m retired so no work to worry about. I’m available almost anytime and it would be easy to work around your schedule. Thank you for the privilege I would love to watch animals in my home but I have a small place and a pit bull and a son living with me right now. I would care for your fur baby like I care for my own

“Jessica is amazing! She has walked our 2 dogs for us when we’ve been away on a couple of occasions now and she’s done a great job every time. Our dogs can be a bit difficult to handle (one is very reactive and the other can be nervous, both can be unsure about strangers) and she handled them with ease and they’re very happy to see her now. She went above and beyond, and even spent some extra time hanging out with them. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Over 10 plus years working in an animal rescue shelter with cats and dogs (many other kinds of animals ) as well as a many years farm care experience I currently work part time remote and would have a full-time open schedule as well as availability for overnight care to take care of your furry family member I have a large fence yard with multiple separated areas with gates .as well as a great neighborhood full of parks for walking and running
About: I love dogs and cats, but can't have one of my own, so I am eager to spend time with yours! Friends and family rely on me to love on their sweet pets and take their dogs for long walks for years. I'm ready to add more pets to my week and have open flexibility. I love dogs and cats, but can't have one of my own, so I am eager to spend time with yours! Friends and family rely on me to love on their sweet pets and take their dogs for long walks for years. I'm ready to add more pets to my week and have open flexibility. Currently, I'm not offering pet care in my own home. I am respectful and responsible to treat your space with care and courtesy. I'm detail oriented and happy to meet your specific needs
About: Having a Golden Retriever puppy of my own has taught me so much about patience, gentleness, and the love and attention dogs deserve. I've spent time around dogs of all sizes and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I love making every dog feel comfortable, included, and cared for, whether we're out for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together. I treat every pup with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time caring for and enjoying the company of dogs. I already spend a lot of time with my own pup and would love to help other dogs get outside, enjoy some sunshine, stay active, and get the exercise and stimulation they need. I enjoy being outdoors and would love to make walks a fun, positive part of their day while giving pet owners a little extra peace of mind. When walking dogs, safety is always my priority. I stay attentive to my surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and remain mindful of other dogs, people, and potential hazards along the way. Having a Golden Retriever puppy of my own has taught me the importance of being patient and understanding that every dog has different needs and comfort levels. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, follow their owner's instructions, and make sure they feel comfortable throughout the walk. My goal is to provide a safe, enjoyable walk where every pup gets fresh air, exercise, and plenty of attention.
About: Im Hannah, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even do a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks, running the trails, and swimming in a lake will happen every day. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I have extensive experience with reactive and high energy dogs. I would love to chat more about your dog's needs. I have a flexible full time job, giving me the opportunity to take breaks and use my lunch break as needed. I work short days which opens the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which grows my love for animals! I’ve pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family!
About: I have over fourteen years of experience taking care of dogs. I love getting to know each dog and having a good time especially on a river walk. I work full-time. 2 days in office, 3 days from home. The days I work in office, I drive home during lunch to provide potty breaks. I make sure each dog is comfortable. I have several dog bed locations throughout the apartment upstairs and downstairs and several water bowls. I have a dog crate for those that have crate trained dogs. Most pet owners bring a blanket or something else for the dog to lay on. The dogs have access to a large living room and the entire bottom floor.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child, but it wasn’t until I was older that I understood I had a special connection with animals, especially dogs. Dogs who are normally afraid of humans snuggle up to me no problem and I have personal experience with my geriatric dog now. My confident, stern, yet gentle loving approach has dogs belly up for rubs and sitting on command. I love all dogs, even ones that can be difficult to deal with. I have plenty of time as a freelancer with her own schedule take care of your fur babies. Whether that’s boarding, walking or letting out for pee/play breaks, I’m your gal. I have a fenced yard. I can give pets and, brush and play with them as needed. I also like having conversations with them as easily as I would if I were talking to a human, as I am sure most pet owners do.
About: I’ve always had a family dog ever since I was a kid. So I know how to play with them. But I didn’t start taking care of one as an adult until 2014. Ever since then, I fully understood the time, patience and responsibilities it requires to fully take care of a dog and its needs. I currently work fully remote at home. It’s not a super demanding job where I’m always on my computer so I have time throughout the day to check on, walk and play with your fur baby. I will treat your home as if it was my home. I’m a clean person and always put things back where they belong. If there happens to be an accident in your home, I will clean it up.

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for two years, caring for the home and animals of family and friends who trust me with what matters most to them. That trust is something I take seriously - every client I’ve worked with has told me their house was cleaner when I left than when they went away, and their pets were happier for having me around. What sets me apart: I treat your house like it’s mine to protect, not just occupy. Dishes clean, surfaces wiped, everything put back where it belongs - you’ll come back to a space that feels cared for and not just sat in. I keep your pets routine exactly as they know. Feeding times, walk schedules, medication, bedtime habits - I stick to it precisely, because I know animals feel safest when nothing changes. I have real experience with a wide range of pets and needs. I’ve cared for Labs, show dogs, dogs on medication schedules, and senior dogs, along with senior cats and cats on special diets. I’m comfortable handling medication administration, mobility needs, and extra attention older or health conscious pets require - nothing catches me off guard. I’m a life long animal person, not just a sitter. In have two cats of my own, so I understand pet behavior and needs firsthand - from routine care to reading the subtle cues that tell you something’s off. I come with a track record, not just promises. Two years of repeat sits with the same families and friends means I have real references who can speak consistency, trustworthiness, and care. Whether it’s a weekend or an extended trip, I’ll treat your home and pets like they’re my own responsibility to protect - because to me, they are. I'm home for the summer from college with no other job commitments, so pet care is my main focus during this time. That means I have flexible, wide-open availability throughout the day and week — including weekdays, weekends, and extended stretches for house sitting. Since I don't have a 9-to-5 pulling me away, I can be fully present with your pets rather than squeezing in visits between other obligations. Whether it's a quick daily check-in or a multi-day house sit, I have the time and attention to give your cats a consistent, calm routine while you're away. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk, safety and consistency come first — pets feel most comfortable when their environment feels calm and predictable, so that's what I aim to create every time. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): I treat every home like it's not my own to take liberties with, but exactly as it was entrusted to me. That means: Following your instructions to the letter — feeding amounts, medication schedules, house rules (furniture, gates, closed doors) are treated as non-negotiable, not suggestions. Keeping doors and gates secured at all times, especially during entry and exit, so there's no risk of an escape. Doing a quick safety scan on arrival — checking that nothing's been knocked over, chewed, or left in a place that could be a hazard, and that food/water bowls are clean and full. Keeping cleaning supplies, medications, and anything toxic out of reach, and letting you know right away if I notice something that could pose a risk (an unlatched cabinet, a chewed cord, etc.). For house sitting specifically, maintaining your home's normal security — lights on a sensible schedule, doors locked, and treating your space with full respect and privacy. Sending photo/video updates so you can see, not just hear, that your pet is safe and settled. On Walks: A secure leash-and-collar (or harness) check before we ever step outside — I don't take a pet out the door until I've confirmed the gear is snug and secure. Sticking to routes I know well, so I can anticipate things like busy intersections, off-leash dogs, or construction — and adjusting the pace or path if something feels unsafe. Carrying water on hot days and watching closely for signs of overheating, fatigue, or discomfort. Keeping a firm, calm hold and clear boundaries around other dogs or people, so your pet never feels put in an unpredictable situation. Immediate check-ins with you if anything unexpected happens — an injury, an unusual reaction, anything out of the ordinary — rather than waiting until the visit is over. Building Trust: For every new pet, I take the first visit slow: letting them approach me on their own terms, learning their specific cues (what makes them anxious, what makes them relax), and following any introduction routine you'd like. I'd rather spend a little extra time earning a pet's trust up front than rush into handling that makes them uncomfortable. That calm, structured approach is really the foundation of everything I do — pets do best when they know exactly what to expect from the humans around them, and that's exactly what I aim to provide.

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 Rancho Cordova. 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 Rancho Cordova after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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.
