Dog Walking Sheldon

“My father had a stroke and had to go to the ER but unfortunately left his dog in the apt. Kayla was incredibly accommodating in getting access to the dog and making sure it was properly walked and fed. She promptly communicates all details and issues. Thank you so much!!”

“Pedro did a great job today. We had to make a change in schedule at the last minute so that I could go to a medical appointment. He picked up Kody and kept him until I returned. Kody had a great time and was a tired puppy when he got home! Thanks Pedro!”

About: I've been around and help take care of dogs since I can remember. I am currently taking care of my own furry 4 legged friend I am currently unemployed at the moment so I have plenty of free time on my hands to take your furry friend to the park or on longer walks I have a fenced in back yard (with a pool) and a dog they can play with. I am able to crate them if need be as well

“Noel was so great. She is a wonderful communicator and reliable.”

“Edwin is polite, flexible, dependable and accommodating. Oso enjoyed his walks with him and we hope we can book more walks in the future. We truly recommend Edwin to care for your dog. Oso loved Edwin from the minute he stepped in our home. Thank you Edwin!”

About: Taking care of animals is passion of mine, so I would love to provide dog walking or drop ins! I started my first dog walking business when I was 10 and currently own 3 cats and 1 dog. I am an online student, so my schedule is very flexible! I accept last minute bookings and am available during the week and on weekends. I provide food and water to my cats and make sure their cat-box is cleaned regularly. My cats are cuddly, so I make sure to spend quality time with them.

About: It has been said to me that my first words as a child were ... barking! While I don't remember that, I do remember always having a connection with all furry companions. I grew up with dogs and cats and on occasion would visit my great grandparents' ranch, with horses, goats and more. I loved giving the animals snacks. More recently, I moved onto a small farm. I helped take care of over a dozen chickens and 2 turkeys; feeding, watering, cleaning the coop. My formal career experience has been in education. In addition to many childcare and classroom support jobs, I also taught public school for 5 years. In either environment, my natural tendency is using my natural empathy to provide personalized care. I am not only a sitter on Rover, but have used the service myself to board my cat before. I know what it's like to leave your baby in someone else's hands! Please communicate specifically to me so that we can rest assured all needs are met for your beloved pet(s). I will treat your furry family member like I would want mine to be treated - patiently, attentively, carefully and lovingly - and only ask that you communicate any expectations or other information clearly and thoroughly. I may ask a lot of questions to clarify, and welcome any of yours! (Además soy bilingüe ❤️) I currently update my schedule on a week-by-week basis. I work part-time as an in-home Instructor for developmentally disabled adults. This is only during weekdays. My availability will vary due to the unique schedule of that job. For example, if a client has a cold, that would be a cancellation on short notice, which would allow me to be available with Rover. So far I've had sufficient flexibility to pet sit and especially housesit in the area. I will reply to your request ASAP and we can go from there. Thank you! For this reason, I prefer to fill my schedule on a day-to-day basis, or at least weekly. I'm happy to answer any questions about specifics, so there is no confusion. Naturally, I'll provide the same consideration I'd expect from someone taking care of my home or pet. Most owners have written instructions down and that has been helpful. I tend to note things down myself, even if they're very simple, just to assure that they are not forgotten. I'll be detail oriented, focused, careful and respectful.

About: I frequently care for dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Animals quickly feel calm around me, and their safety and well-being are always my top priority. Pet care is my main activity and fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I make sure pets get regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention every day. I also keep their space clean and spend time giving them affection. Weekly, I plan extra outdoor activities, visits to the nearby dog park (if allowed), and interactive play to keep them happy, healthy, and engaged. 🐾 I frequently care for dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals.

“Holly made herself available a couple of times when I needed help unexpectedly. She responded quickly and Anika was well exercised after their walks.”

About: I have always loved animals growing up (sometimes more than people at times) and I continue to surround myself around animals whenever I can. Throughout my life, people have noticed my love and connection with all animals and have asked and trusted me with full confidence to take care of their pets. Before I knew it I was being hired left and right through word of mouth. I've watched big dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, puppies, cats, plants, the home and and checked the mail. Now that I have moved from my hometown I would love to build a network again and have some paw playtime! I live in a 5 bedroom house with occasional access to the backyard. I have 3 roommates that come and go that are all animal lovers and also give attention to any visitors in passing. We actually have a frenchy who is a year old who likes to socialize as well and loves to share his toys and play. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions! Thank you! -Rachel

About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly! She loves to play and snuggle and will help your pets feel right at home. I also have a loving partner who is more than happy to look after my baby while I take care of yours.

About: I’m a HUGE animal lover. I’ve had dogs since I was about 3 years old. I currently have 3 adorable fur babies; one is almost a year old, one will be 3 in August and the other (my oldest) turns 14 in May. I have had cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, chickens and even a turtle, so I am prepared to take care of almost any animal you have. You can trust me to watch and care for your pets, as I will treat them as my own. I cannot wait to meet you and your furr babies and hopefully have a continuous relationship for many years to come. For any questions or concerns you may have, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you :) I have a very open schedule. I just recently graduated from San Francisco State University, so I’ve been doing Uber for the past couple of years I live on 1 acre full of grass right outside of Elk Grove in the Vineyard area near Wildhawk Golf Course so there is plenty of room for any animal to roam and play around; especially fetch and frisbee which my dogs LOVE. I directly send photos and videos to your phone via text message rather than the Rover app because I’ve found several times during stays that photos I thought I sent would show as “failed to send,” so I prefer to send messages via iMessage since it shows if the message was delivered almost instantly. That is why my profile shows only 70% of photos sent to owners even though I basically spam your phone with photos and videos of your pet throughout the day. If you prefer me to use the Rover app, please let me know and I will do just that. I also don’t mind if you want to FaceTime with your pet at any time.

About: With 15+ years working in animal welfare and shelter environments, I bring professional-level care to every pet I work with; from neonatal fosters to senior dogs managing complex medical needs. I'm trained in fear-free handling and modern animal behavior, and I hold a degree in Humane Leadership focused on animal welfare. I can administer both oral and injected medications, which makes me a trusted choice for pets with diabetes, allergies, epilepsy, or ongoing medical protocols. I've cared for animals of every age, size, breed, and temperament — including high-energy large breeds, anxious rescues, and special needs animals who need a calm, patient, experienced hand. I've owned a husky and a pit bull for over a decade, and I've fostered countless kittens and puppies. I know what it means to care for an animal through every stage of life and I take that responsibility seriously with yours. When it comes to walks, I ask every owner one question: does your dog like to mosey, brisk walk, or run? Because every dog is different ; and your dog's walk should match their energy, not a one-size schedule. I offer all three, including runs and bike rides for high-drive dogs who need real exercise. At my home: large fenced yard, non-smoking, children who are calm and experienced with dogs, and a routine-first approach. I follow your pet's existing schedule for feeding, walks, and rest to keep their stay as stress-free as possible. Your pet deserves more than a dog lover. They deserve someone who actually knows animals. I keep my availability intentional so every pet gets my full attention. My primary availability is Fridays for walks, drop-ins, run and bike rides, and boarding check-ins, with weekends open for boarding stays. My sweet spot is a Friday afternoon check-in with Sunday morning checkout — perfect for families heading out for the weekend. I’m not available for weekday walks or drop-ins Monday through Thursday, which means when I’m with your pet, I’m fully present; not squeezing visits between a packed schedule. I also welcome extended stays of one week or longer. For families with travel, deployments, or extended commitments, I provide consistent long-term care that keeps your pet in one stable, familiar home rather than rotating through different sitters. I’ve cared for dogs for multi-week stays and understand what it takes to maintain routine, behavior, and wellbeing over time. If you’re looking for a reliable Friday walker, a consistent weekend boarding home, or a trusted sitter for an extended stay in Elk Grove, let’s connect! My home has a large fully fenced yard, a non-smoking environment, and children aged 7-9 who are calm and experienced around animals. I apply the same fear-free handling principles I use professionally — no force, no flooding, no punishment. Pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I always follow your pet’s existing routine to minimize stress. For in-home care I treat your space with the same respect and attentiveness I bring to my own. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll follow their schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks to keep things familiar and stress-free for them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, whether they’re with me or in their own home.
