“Teri is amazing. Very caring about my pet, and following our routines. She’s also very knowledgeable & safety focused, so I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her hands while I was away. First Rover experience was exactly what I needed when I booked Teri! I will book her again when I’m back in Sacramento.”

About: I have experience with different collars and leashes, I have experience with large dogs and small dogs, and I have experience with reading dog body language, and leash training. I don’t currently have a job, so I have an open schedule to dog walks at almost any time. I can also do a scheduled walk weekly I have a large fenced yard in my own home that I own. But I prefer to take care of your animals at your own home so they feel more comfortable. Or walk them in a completely different location.
“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”

About: Hi there! I am a recent law school graduate currently studying for the bar exam. In addition to growing up with dogs, I also have experience dealing with reactive dogs. For a time I had a rescue dog, Judge, who struggled with aggression, leash reactivity, and general fear/anxiety. Training with him and learning from him made me extremely educated on dog safety, care, and proper protocols when out on walks to ensure a good time for everyone involved. I recently moved to Sacramento after graduating law school, and would love to walk your dog (and maybe even help with some training) while I am studying for the bar exam. Hope to hear from you! My study schedule for the bar is exam is flexible as it is a self-paced course. I normally go for a walk in the mornings before I start my day, but I am free any time to assist! I have a large SUV that I’m happy to take your dog along in for a little adventure! My favorite daily walks in Sac is along the American River and I’d love to bring a pup along. I am also happy to stay local to wherever you live and wherever your dog is most comfortable.

About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
About: I love animals and making sure they are happy. I can accommodate for any specific needs they may have. I take care of our family pets daily & have done multiple pet & house sits for friends and family.

I love my pets company, giving them things too do like running round and playing chase. Cleaning, Feeding and making sure they're happy and if they need their medicine. Usually taking care or them for most of the day.
About: Animals have been the heart of my home for as long as I can remember—I’ve grown up surrounded by the love of both dogs and cats my entire life! That lifelong bond inspired me to become a professional dog groomer, meaning I bring a deep understanding of dog behavior, gentle handling, and professional health awareness to every pet I meet. Above all, your furry family member’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. To give you total peace of mind, I am Dog & Cat First Aid & CPR Certified through the American Red Cross. Whether your pup needs an extra-patient friend, a high-energy playtime, or just someone who truly understands their cues, I promise to treat them with the exact same love and devotion I give my own! I am a full-time professional groomer, so my life naturally revolves around animals! My schedule allows plenty of flexibility to give your pet the dedicated care and attention they deserve. I am currently available for drop-in visits and active walks to keep your pup happy and healthy. Because of my professional background, I am also more than happy to discuss customized grooming services to keep them looking and feeling their best. Let's connect and find a routine that works perfectly for your furry family member! When I’m looking after your fur babies in your home, their safety, happiness, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! Every pet has their own wonderful personality, and I love being versatile enough to match their vibe perfectly. Along with keeping up with their usual feeding and watering routines, I tailor my visits entirely to what makes them happy. If you have a high-energy pup who lives for fun, I offer exceptional, toy-squeaking, tail-wagging playtime! But if your sweet pet is a total couch potato, I am more than happy to just curl up, offer gentle scratches, and keep them company. Please note that I currently only offer care directly out of your home, ensuring your best friend stays safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered in their own cozy environment!
About: I have been a dog owner for over a decade. I have owned rat/Boston/French terriers and German shepherds. Currently I have two dogs, Sally and Maggie. They are Boston terrier mixes who love to sunbathe and chase around tennis balls! I love dogs and am responsible and trustworthy. I am looking for full time employment at the moment, therefore I am a dog walker for the flexibility. A very close friend of mine, who I admire, recommended becoming a dog walker because I adore dogs. I have pet sat before and am high energy for these dogs. I would love to be able to form relationships with dogs on this site so regular customers are always welcomed. I tend to take my dog to Discovery Park regularly and they meet other dogs as well. I am currently looking for full time employment so I am flexible so I can chat with owners and find times that work for the pets! I have a fenced backyard and two lovely dogs although potential clients would need to meet my dogs to ensure safety! In a client's home, I would ensure they have a list of expectations regarding roles and am always respectful of the space, keeping the home as it was left.
About: There's something about caring for dogs and cats that brings my heart alive. There's nothing I'd rather do than care lovingly attentively for these animals. I am a retired English teacher, and my time is unlimited. I prefer long term, overnight sitting in your home. I am fit and love walking and playing with your loved one. I treat them as if they were my own. Having been raised caring for my families dogs, cats, horses, cows, ducks, fish, and even peacocks, I am most comfortable with animals. I follow instructions, administer medicine when necessary, and leave your home in perfect condition as you left it. Some folks say I'm too old to do this...I know I'm not. I can walk 2 miles easily with dogs. I have described my affection for dogs and cats which I hope reflects the care I will provide, and I would be so pleased to serve you.

About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby.

“Scott was great! Kept me up to date on the puppies ealks, play dates and and I can see the doggies were happy after a day with him. Thank you so much! Would book again 100%”


“I have a small breed senior dog and a cat. Its hard to find someone I feel I can trust to give them the same care and attention as myself when I am away from home. Natalie is someone I know I can trust my babies with, she takes a bunch of photos each time she walks my dog and feeds him. She goes above and beyond every time and I can tell my dog and cat absolutely adore her and are happy when she comes to help. Thank you Natalie!”

About: I absolutely adore dogs and their personalities. I had an older pup of my own, who has been with me all over California. Unfortunately my beautiful girl has passed. Now I have a 1 year old rambunctious little aussiedoodle named Thorin and all he wants do is play. He absolutely loves making new friends. I am always the first one to be called by any friend in need to watch their pets. I’m confident that Thorin and I can give your pet a safe space for them to have fun and you to relax and not worry. I currently work 2 miles from my place of residence. Your dog will usually just go with me to work every day, we have a bed/area set up (pet friendly environment) or if preferred the dog to stay home. My man comes with me, so we do the same for yours. Also, they would be walked first thing in the morning, on my lunch, after work and then again before bed. I have a crate if thats needed for your dog/your dog likes to have his/her own safe space. My house is free to roam for the animals. I have a big backyard they can play in.
“Shang is great! I always feel so comfortable and happy having her pick up and walk my pup! He always has a great time! 🐾 Shang always sends picture and text updates and is very thorough:)”

About: I have recently started sitting for a family friends dogs. I am very reliable with walking, feeding and naturing. I have worked with senior dogs as well. I currently work from home so I have more time to take care of pets. With free time during the weekends as well. I would be able to take the animals out 2-3 time during the week on breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a safe environment tailored to their needs. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and exercise requirements to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have owned a multitude of pets since I was a child, including dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and rodents. I am adaptable and amenable to all animals and any sort of medical needs, strange likes, and behaviors they might have. I am currently on summer break from college and am therefore available for any time or day of the week. Most of my plans are moveable and I’m very flexible with time. I’m adaptable to whatever your household rules are! I can stay all day or just drop in or even sleep on the couch. Whatever helps you to feel comfortable leaving your precious pet, I will do to the fullest and give them lots of love!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Gardens
Amina was great! She responded to my request quickly, was punctual and proactively communicated. My grand dog warmed to her immediately and they had a great walk. She also helped me navigate the Rover app since I’m old - lol. I highly recommend her for walks and if I lived in the Sac area full time, I would use her regularly. She gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. She was professional and personable and I can’t thank her enough!

Andrea is amazing. I had a logistically complicated day, coming through Sacramento from 1.5 hours away for a doctor appointment and then continuing on for the last two hours of my trip. I'd never met her so I was worried about all the chances for something to go wrong. But everything was *perfect*. First, Andrea was amazing about staying in touch, and answered questions quickly and cheerily. She was extremely flexible, and even showed up a bit early so I'd had no reason for anxiety. My pup Willie loved his time with her and her boyfriend. It couldn't have been a better experience. Thank you, Andrea!

Tyson was immediately accepted by our dog, Chance. Then he only needed to hear the walk and feed instructions once, so keeping Chance inside of his routine as much as possible and providing us with peace of mind. Really happy with Tyson and grateful for his natural way with animals.

Payton has been a really good match for Maddy. She’s consistent, communicative, and clearly puts real effort into the walks. I appreciate that she makes sure Maddy gets good mileage while still being mindful of things like weather and pacing—especially since Maddy tends to go all in. The updates are also really helpful. I feel very comfortable having her take care of Maddy.
