About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through owning and looking after two of my own. I understand the importance of providing regular exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also volunteered at FieldHaven for five months, where I cared for cats and gained experience meeting the needs of animals in a safe and compassionate environment. I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am basically free whenever. Walking animals fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy going on walks myself so why not take a furry friend along with me 🤗. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel happy and secure.

About: I love pets! More than human most of the time. I enjoy talking to them and learning from them, and playing! Your baby will be in very good hands with me! I am a student and can only work part time. This kind of work is not only ideal for my schedule and financial needs, its an opportunity to make new 4 legged friends! I am not able to host any furry friends. But I can walk them around their neighborhood. Hang with them in their home with their owners are away. I've cared for many different breeds with many different needs and I am more than happy to accommodate for whatever is needed.

About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! My schedule has changed and is more open during the work week. I currently have a day job between the hours of 12:30PM and 2:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours can be flexible with this day job. I am available early morning and some evenings during the work week. My schedule changes, on occasion, in the evenings Monday through Friday. My weekends are fully free and am available for pet sitting, dog walking and drop-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student looking for a part-time position that fits around my class schedule. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to balance school, work, and pet-care responsibilities. I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my school and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences to ensure I provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and started officially caring for animals when I was just 10. Since then, I’ve looked after all sorts of pets—dogs, cats, birds, and even bunnies! Right now, I have three wonderful dogs (two energetic huskies and a lovable golden retriever) and two cats (a playful ragdoll and a curious tabby). So, trust me when I say I understand how important it is to know your pets are being loved and well cared for when you’re not around. I know each animal is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities—whether it’s a quick walk to get them moving, a drop-in visit for some playtime, or an overnight stay where they need extra attention. I work very part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your pet when they need me. Plus, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—they’re my happy place, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether you have a playful puppy that needs to burn off some energy or a laid-back senior dog who just wants some company, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re getting exactly what they need. I’m here to make your life easier and ensure your pets are well taken care of—like they’re part of my own family! :) I work part time so I can be almost full availability besides a few 4 hour shifts a week, besides that I can be with the animals full time! I will do whatever means necessary to ensure your animals safety! Whatever works with you will work with me. I’m very flexible and easy to work with !

About: I have loved animals since I was small, volunteered at animal rescues since I was a child, and have my own menagerie of furry critters. I worked at a horse stable for over 7 years and owned a horse so also am knowledgeable about horses, donkeys, goats, chickens in addition to cat and dogs. I have trained all my dogs for over 15 years so understand how to kindly guide dogs. I have given medicine in all forms and am well versed in pet home first aid. I am currently working full time but have a flexible schedule so can usually accommodate any time of day with some notice. I walk my own dogs twice a day and live in an area with 5 parks. I take my dogs to the park frequently too so can easily add another dog to the mix. I have a fenced yard and a large pet filled home. My yard has a patio cover and a fan to keep everyone comfortable. For well behaved dogs who are cat savvy and non destructive, I can offer them to come inside and hang out on the couches. For other people’s homes, I love getting to know pets and will gladly try to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m happy to play with their favorite toys and give plenty of pets.

About: I have experience caring for both typical and special needs dogs. My dog who has sadly passed was epileptic and had seizures regularly. My other dog had severe skin issues and allergies. She was regularly medicated and had to be fed a special diet. As a dog owner myself, I am familiar with dog behavior and understanding that there are special cases out there that may require more attention. I am also a plant mom and excellent house guest. My area will always be kept tidy and how you left it when you return. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I am currently in law school (online) and I work as a substitute teacher part time, so I am afforded a balanced schedule so that I can provide you with my services as well. Most weeks and weekends, I have open availability! I want my care of your pets to be as if you never left their side. I am communicative, transparent and intentional as a pet owner and pet sitter. I am an active person who loves to hangout with animals. I enjoy a good movie and a good meal, or a hike.

About: Hi there! I’m Kevin, and I provide warm, personalized pet care in the Sacramento State area. I share my home with pets I care for in a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. As someone who loves running and staying active, I especially enjoy taking dogs along the beautiful river paths right in front of my unit if they enjoy exercise and outdoor adventures too! Whether your pet prefers long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or a slower-paced routine, I always adapt my care to their personality and comfort level. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being patient, empathetic, responsible, and highly communicative so pet parents always feel informed and at ease. I currently work part-time while preparing for higher education, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected with your furry friend while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and strive to create a loving and enriching experience whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐾🐱 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, driven by my genuine love for animals. My day often begins with morning walks or runs, which not only keep me active but also allow me to enjoy quality time with the pets I care for. I schedule dedicated times for feeding, play, and grooming, ensuring that each pet gets the individualized attention they deserve. My flexible part-time job gives me the freedom to balance work and pet care seamlessly. Whether it’s taking dogs on hikes or engaging in playful activities with cats, I make sure that caring for pets is a joyful and integral part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and trust by providing a secure and welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I ensure that my space is pet-proofed, with safe areas for them to play and relax. A structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime helps pets feel comfortable and reduces anxiety. In clients’ homes, I respect their space and routines while maintaining the same level of care and attention. I take extra precautions to follow any specific guidelines provided by pet owners, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved. Open and honest communication is key; I keep pet owners updated on their pets’ well-being, reinforcing trust and peace of mind.

About: I grew up on a farm, animals galore. I was always with the animals, they are incredible companions, as well as teachers. I have been on the birthing end of Dogs, Birds, Fish, Turtles Horses, Cows and sheep. Unfortunately I have been on the departure side as well. My love of animals is only second to my love of Life. When your pets are under my care, rest assured that I will act as an extension of you. I also have a very extensive medical education, no not vetinary, but this is the one time I am glad they can't talk. People give way to much information, where as animal will give you indications as to the possible problems. It has been my experience that diet is usually the culprit, but not always. Thanks from one Animal Lover to their Owners. half of the question is blocked so I am not sure what I am describing? i think its asking how does pet care fit into my schedule. it's part of the job. make sure all exits are secure, and that water and food are available, for cats, I would check their box for clumps. Any other critters would be treated according to there familial traits.

About: Hi there! The first pet I ever had was a little Old world sparrow that had fallen off from its nest. After feeding it and giving it some water, I thought it best to return it to its mother, since it was still a baby. Next I had a Nubian goat named Jojo, then 2 common goldfish named Gold and Silver, then 2 Rex rabbits named Chocolate and Vanilla. I had a teacher who had a Staffordshire Terrier named Popi, we got along really well and even went on walks together! I have experiences with Persian cats, siamese cats, and shorthair cats as well either through a friend or my cousins or through a stray cat resting in my garage or walking on the sidewalk. Oh, and I've also had leghorn chickens make their way onto my open rooftop from my neighbour's house. 🐔

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Rio Oso. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Rio Oso after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Oso. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
