Vahid took exceptional care of Rue and Reo over five days. He provided plenty of photos and constant updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was very attentive to their well-being and even let me know when the weather was too hot for them to safely walk, showing great judgment and care. Beyond the walks, Vahid spent time playing with the dogs and making sure they were happy and engaged. It was clear from the photos and updates that Rue and Reo genuinely loved spending time with him. His communication, reliability, and genuine affection for the dogs made the experience outstanding. I would highly recommend Vahid to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive dog walker.

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: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.

About: I have had many pets through out my life and got to learn how to work with senior dogs, that includes one of my past dogs, Millie, who was 18 and I learned how to care for her. Not just that, but we adopted our dog Brooklyn when she was a puppy, so through that I learned to care and train a puppy. I know how to care for cats with cleaning their litter box and keeping them engaged. I love walking dogs and playing with them. I am working part time, however my schedule is very open and I can do daily visits with peoples pets. I would make them my priority to take care of them and make them feel comfortable. Also my shifts are only 3 hours so before and after I can visit the fur babies. In my clients home I will make sure that when they go outside I am either watching them from inside or going outside with them to make sure they are safe. I will make sure to play with them and care for them in my clients home.

Milagros is an excellent companion and walker for my dog Rex. Rex needs a walker who stays alert to his surroundings and is able to anticipate situations which might cause problems. Milagros handles all of Rex's anxieties and redirects when needed. Rex comes home happy and relaxed. Milagros walks Rex 5 days a week while I recover from a broken leg. She is on time, communicates well, and enjoys Rex. I trust her completely and am grateful to have found Milagros to help out for the next couple of months.

About: I’m not your average sitter, I work as a rescue pilot, helping relocate dogs across California, and I’ve cared for a wide range of pups from high-energy escape artists to senior dogs needing medication and extra support. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, extra patience, or just someone attentive and reliable, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. As a flight instructor and commercial pilot, my schedule is pretty flexible, mostly depending on my students, the weather, and if any pups are needing rescue. Meet & greets $10 within 5 miles, $15 within 10 miles from me! I can crate and transport your dog if need be, otherwise will be caring for them in your home and surrounding area/neighborhood for walks! :)

About: I absolutely LOVE animals and have been caring for them for as long as I remember. My experience with pet sitting and dog walking has taught me how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I understand how important it is to provide reliable care and make sure pets feel safe and happy. This passion and experience make me confident that I can bring the same dedication and care to the role of a paid canvasser, where connecting with people and showing genuine commitment is key. I’m currently a college student, but I can easily fit pet care into my daily schedule and remain flexible to accommodate different needs. I’m reliable and committed to providing the best care possible, making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve no matter how busy things get. When caring for pets in a clients home I am very big on respecting the space i’m working in, while also doing my best to provide adequate care to the pet.

About: I’ve always had family pets. We’ve adopted several dogs, young and old, over the years. We currently do not have our own pets, but understand how important it is to feel relaxed when traveling, knowing your furry family is taken care of while away. I am self-employed and work from home. This allows me to be very accommodating when watching your pets and/or home. My wife is an RN and would be able to step in should my schedule not accommodate a particular situation. I prefer to watch your pets in their routine environment knowing it makes them less anxious while you’re away. Depending on your pet and their disposition, I could also allow them time in our home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help care for their pets by feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them. I’m dependable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have completely open availability this summer and can be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and overnight care in your home. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive when caring for pets. Since I’m not hosting dogs in my own home, I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care your pet may need.

Millie has been a game changer for me and my dogs! She has won over my anxious mini Aussie and sends the cutest pictures of my super senior. She responds quickly during walks and when booking. My dogs are my world and I trust Millie with them 100%! She has made staying longer hours at work a possibility for me.

Aaron was so amazing! He went above and beyond to ensure our dogs and disabled father had everything they needed while we were away. He was only asked to walk the dogs once a day for an hour, but spent extra time and effort to ensure all went well. The dogs loved him and were excited to see him every day. Would absolutely recommend! 100/10!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a River Park dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in River Park.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
