“We’ve booked dog walk with Carrie for so many times. She takes cares of our dog and is very friendly. Definitely will have her walk our dog if she’s available!!! Thank you Carrie.”
“Juliana has been amazing with my dog as he adjusts to a cross country move! Murph was immediately comfortable with her, and she adjusted to his needs easily. Also super friendly and easy to book with! She also refilled my poop bags when I totally forgot this morning 🙈 10/10 will book again and highly recommend”
“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!”
“Sophia met with Miss Serenity prior to the scheduled walks! She was on time and very sweet to my pup! The time I had originally scheduled her was too hot for Serenity, so she adjusted the time to walk her, which was amazing! I would definitely recommend booking her to take care of your fur baby!”
“Dobby loves Esther. He has boarded with her before and she walks him during the week. Really puts us at ease knowing he’s with someone he feels comfortable with. Esther is sweet and patient with him.”
“Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I grew up with a Yorkshire Terrier and currently have a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with the everyday routines that come with caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also helped care for my husband’s senior Scottish Terrier! I recently decided to take a break from the corporate world, and I’d love to spend some of that time caring for your furry babies 🐾❤️ I’m new to Rover, but I take pet care and communication seriously. Please feel free to ask me any questions - I’m more than happy to answer them and will always follow any specific care instructions you provide! I’m currently taking a gap from work, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available throughout the week 8am-8pm and can usually accommodate different times. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box/potty care, and any other specific needs. I’ll be respectful of your home, can send photos updates, and will keep in touch during each visit so you know how your pet is doing!

I have experience with larger dogs, animals with special needs, and feeding medication.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and for the past 10 years I've been walking, feeding, and caring for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors.

I pay attention to each dog's personality and needs, and I'll send you a quick update and photo after every walk so you know how it went. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I'm happy to do one-time walks or set up a regular schedule that fits your routine. I'm punctual, I communicate clearly, and if anything ever changes, I'll let you know well in advance. Your dog's safety comes first. On every walk, I stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and I bring water and waste bags. I'll follow your instructions for your home, keys, feeding, and any behavior or health needs.

About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life, and volunteered at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for a year after college. I've fostered kittens and a senior cat with medical issues, and cared for many older pets over my life. I once house sit for a family with rabbits so I have a little bit of familiarity with them. I have house sit for friends with a standard poodle and a mini doodle, including giving the standard poodle his daily medication and taking them both for twice daily trips to the park. I have also checked in on my parents' two dogs and 5+ cats to feed them, let them out for potty breaks, play with them, and give them medication. My sweet orange tabby got cancer a few years ago and I fed him three times a day through a feeding tube and administered his medication as well. I work some evenings, so I am free most of the day to care for your furry friends. I take care of my own senior kitty in the mornings, after my evening shifts, and during any free days. I have pet sat for friends and family before, including giving medication and two daily walks. I will follow all instructions to the letter and ensure your pet feels right at home.
About: I’ve taken care of several dogs for the last 5 years and prioritize their safety first! I want to make sure they have fun but as it can be heartbreaking leaving your furry friends due to our busy lives! I can mostly do weekends and some weekdays, let me know in advance. Best to walk in the mornings due to the cooler weather as the heat can hurt their paws! I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or your preference! If there is a park nearby or areas to avoid I will follow your instructions.

About: I’ve cared for personal pets, friends’ pets, and worked at an animal hospital for two years. I’m an excellent care giver to cats and dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
Debbie greeted the boys with a smile and such warm energy, and provided the most thorough update after their walk. She came fully prepared with wipes to clean them off afterward, which came in especially handy when one of the other boys decided to pee on Baxter’s head 😂. She went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her. We’ll definitely be repeat customers. Thank you, Debbie!
My experience with Mikayla was phenomenal. She was very responsive and super quick to reply. I booked her less than 24 hours in advance and she responded/accepted almost immediately. She was also so patient with my requests and executed my instructions flawlessly. My experience was nothing short of exceptional and just such a breeze!

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 Sacramento. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
