About: I've been a pet owner and animal lover my whole life! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have experience volunteering in animal shelters and watching friends' pets. I currently own both a dog and cat, and am happy to take care of both. I understand that pets are family and I'll treat them like my very own. My current job gives me very flexible work hours, and I can easily accommodate last-minute requests. I will provide a calm, reliable, caring experience for your pets. My current job provides me with a very flexible schedule during summer months. I can work most hours of the day (mornings, afternoons, evenings) and am more than happy to book any last-minute requests for sitting or walks. I have a car so I can easily drive to clients' homes for walks, check-ins or overnight stays. I have experience running my own small business, and I understand the importance of organization, communication and reliability with my clients. I love animals and getting to know them, and I will take care of your animals as if they're my own.
About: I've been around dogs pretty much my whole life, so I addition to loving them I also have a ton of experience taking care of them. Friend of mine reccomended I join this app after helping her put with her pups after some health issues. I work freelance as a journalist, which sometimes means I end up with days that are really busy and days where my schedule is completely clear. Weekends are generally open though. I generally help my roommate with her dogs, mainly taking them out for walks when she's out of town or not feeling well. I also help my mother with pet sitting for her two dogs.
About: I’m an experienced full-time pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve raised and worked with breeds including Huskies, German Shepherds, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Whippets, Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, and more. In addition to my personal experience, I currently volunteer with Front Street Animal Shelter where I’ve received training in dog handling, fear-based behavior support, basic grooming, and working with traumatized or anxious animals. I’m comfortable with large breeds, leash pullers, reactive dogs, puppies, and senior pets. I focus on providing dependable care, structured routines, long engaging walks, and clear communication so owners always feel informed and confident while away from their pets. I treat every animal with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their individual needs and personality. I’m available for recurring walks, drop-ins, sitting, holidays, early mornings, late evenings, and last-minute bookings. I currently serve Elk Grove, Natomas, West Sacramento, Rocklin, Folsom, and surrounding Sacramento areas. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Every morning I feed my animals by 730am and in the evenings by 500pm. I currently work part time and do not start my shifts before 930am. When feeding the animals, I spend time with them. My cat - I pet him after he finishes and brush him. With my dogs - I play frisbee and in the yard with them. We also go on at least 2 walks each day for exercise with the dogs. My cat is trained to be on a leash as well and goes for walks 1 time a week. For the dogs, we have a fenced in backyard and extra room in the house to play. We have toys and frisbees as well. At my clients house, I play with the animals in the back yard or house depending on area. Taking care to brush, water, and feed them. Giving the animals the attention they deserve and need while their family is gone. I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and energy levels to engage with them properly.
About: I have been a dog mom my whole life, from small terriers to Great Danes, and have experience with dogs across the lifespan, as well as dogs of many different temperaments. I am also a lifelong cat owner and can provide excellent and personalized care for all of your furry friends. I have experience with medication dispensing, leash reactivity, and providing personalized enrichment and care, depending on the pet’s needs and personalities. Got a couch potato? Great, I'm an A+ cuddler! Got an adventurer? We'll go on field trips to local parks and walking trails! Whatever your pet needs, I am thrilled to provide. I am currently an MSW graduate student, so Rover is my primary source of income, and hanging out with your furry friends provides some bonus stress relief for me as well - a win-win! I am a full time MSW graduate student and Rover is my primary source of income, so my summer schedule is wide open, and my schedule while school is in session will be based around my class schedule. My own precious pup is not comfortable around other dogs, so I offer housesitting services in client's homes. I will honor whatever your pet's routine and preferences are, and am happy to schedule a meet up prior to our housesitting appointment to ensure that you and your fur baby feel comfy with me.
“Oreo and I so appreciate Amanda and Hector’s help during these beginning weeks of the new school year! I know Oreo looks forward to going on his lunch potty breaks with Hector where he can sniff to his heart’s content. 🐕 💜 🥰 We truly appreciate Hector’s flexibility when he comes a bit earlier some days due to the hotter weather or Oreo’s needs. We will definitely be requesting Amanda & Hector again!”
“I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Bari and the way she took care of my border collie Woody. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs and she takes her rover responsibilities very seriously. During my trip I was always in the know about how my dog was doing because Bari reached out to me each time she tended to him with texts and pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dog is in great hands and being taken care of exceptionally well. I highly recommend Bari.”
“I 100% trust my dog with Arianna! She always leaves notes about how he did on his walk and I really appreciate it! She gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. I know my dog is in good hands :)”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. When I was 8 years I care for and found homes for 2 liters of puppies for a neighbor. I have cared for all breeds shapes and sizes of fur and not so furry babies. All breeds welcome! ❤️ I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open. I will have my tiny animal lover with me unless that that does not work for you. I can make other arrangements for her. ❤️ I have a home with a big yard on corner lot for day care or overnight care✨🌙. There are two very old smedium dogs that don’t get up much. I have baby gates up throughout the house so if anyone feels more comfortable in a section of the house they can have their own separate suite.
“Marina is so great! She is reliable and she is always on time! We booked with her a couple times and Bentley is always happy and relaxed after spending time with her. I totally would recommend her and book with her again!”
“Carolyn is just the absolute best thing that has happened to us! I can’t say enough about her. She is perfection wrapped up into a beautiful human. Thank you for everything you do for my baby girl 🥰”
“Alexander did an excellent job walking my dogs, Rue and Reo. They were both patient and playful with them, which made a big difference in how comfortable and happy they were during each visit. It’s clear they genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and know how to handle different personalities. I also really appreciated how communicative they were with me throughout the process. They kept me updated during each visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Alexander to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and spent the past year interning at Front Street Animal Shelter, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and learning more about animal behavior, safety, and daily care routines. During my internship, I worked with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, which helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I have an extremely flexible schedule, as I primarily work closing shifts at Chipotle. This allows me to be available from mornings through late afternoons on most days, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner's instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times. My experience at an animal shelter has taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in different situations, and create a low-stress environment for pets of all personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, attentive care.
“Katherine is a super star! Not only did she come at a moment's notice (saving the day after I injured myself) but she was really attentive to my dogs. I recommended that she take each dog separately, which she did. She came back rather quickly though and let me know that Harry was being shy and might do better if Alfie walked with him. And it did! They had a great walk, did their business, and now I can rest easy knowing there won't be little surprises left throughout my house :) Thanks Katherine!”
Scc dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jacob has been so supportive and patience with our recently adopted dogs especially one who has discipline issues. He has gone out of his way to assist us, shared tips, handled we’ve very calmly and provided free consultation even. I could not recommend Jacob enough and we are lucky to have found him!! We have booked him for longer sitting when we will be traveling next month and knowing who he is provides us a lot of comfort for our recent adopted family!
Christine was an excellent walker for our dog Bella. She came over the day before to meet her, was exactly on time for her walk and sent to a of pictures even including some of our jealous kitty who doesn’t get to go outside! She was accommodating when I plugged in the wrong time and again when I had to cut my trip short due to my daughter getting ill. I will absolutely use Christine in the future!
Justin is fantastic. I've used him twice now when surgery has prevented me from walking my dog for a few weeks, or when I had a house sitter who wasn't up to dog walking. Justin is prompt, dependable, flexible when we needed to be, and, best of all, my dog really likes him! You can't go wrong with hiring Justin.
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.
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!
