About: We are a mother, daughter duo! You may meet myself YingYing or Annie, my daughter. However, we provide the same adequate care! Animal sitting has been a big thing of ours since we can remember and now that we have adopted Bingo, it has pushed us to do this full-time. We have had Bingo for about 3 years with no issues and no emergency pet visits. She is healthy and lively albeit a little lazy. You can say she is at the top of our food chain in our household. We live in an area where there are trails right next to our house for walks and the park is a block away. We also have a minivan that can take the doggies to the park if they have mobility issues. We are equipped in handling pushy dogs when they are walking and can control their behaviors. Additionally, we can read some body cues from dogs. Please message or email us before booking so we are aware of your dog’s situation and are able to care for them to the full extent. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids aged 10 and 14 so I can accept bookings whenever is necessary. I intend to pet sit as a full time job with opening on the weekends as well. Bingo is quite calm and careless. She is trained to go into a bedroom on command and we have multiple helping hands to situate her and your own fur baby.

About: I had a beagle from age 6 to 22. From 22 to 36 I had a Maine Coon. I currently have 2 cute ginger cats and a fat grey and white cat. Everyone was a rescue! I own a small business and work from home. I can get to your home in the Elk Grove area very easily and quickly to visit with your critters. We prepare fresh meals for our cats. We haver cat backpacks and crates to transport them around. They like to visit outside and pretend they are still wild. One likes to explore. The other two are afraid of their shadows.

About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was 10 years old. Growing up, I often brought home stray dogs and cats that needed love, care, and a safe place to stay. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets while they were out of town or busy with work. I always made sure their pets stayed on their normal feeding, potty, and exercise routines, and I treated every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to provide updates while you’re away. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow their daily routine, provide plenty of playtime, exercise, love, and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or instructions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate them. In addition to caring for your pets, I’ll also help keep your home tidy and in order so you can return to a clean, stress-free environment. It would be my pleasure to care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing they’re in loving and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I schedule my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive the attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to keeping your pet on their normal routine. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow all care instructions, and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of exercise, lots of affection, and a safe, stress-free environment where they feel loved and secure.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

About: Hi! My name is Liz. I recently re-downloaded Rover after being away for a few years, and I’m excited to start pet sitting again through Rover. I’m a college graduate with years of experience caring for pets through my mom’s Rover account, along with ongoing cat sitting jobs and trusted repeat clients. I’m known for being a great communicator, dependable, and attentive to both pets and owners. I offer house sitting, drop-ins, walks, overnight care, and can also help with light household tasks like bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, pulling trash cans in or out, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. I especially love caring for senior pets and pets who do best staying in the comfort of their own home. I understand every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I always try to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone. For overnight stays, my fiancé may occasionally accompany me for safety and comfort purposes, but your pet’s care and respect for your home always come first. I’m happy to communicate openly beforehand so everyone feels comfortable and confident. Feel free to message me anytime with questions. I respond quickly and would love to see if we’re a good fit for you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule during the week. Outside of pet sitting, I spend my time applying to jobs in clinical research, running errands, doing chores, and meeting with friends, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like a chore to me. I’m very attentive with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. At this time, I only offer care in my client’s home because I have an anxious 9-year-old tabby cat at home, and I want to keep his environment calm and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For overnight stays, I usually stay in the guest room or designated area of the home, and many pets enjoy sleeping nearby or spending time with me throughout the day. I’m very respectful of your home and prioritize cleanliness, safety, and communication. I make sure doors are securely locked, pets are supervised carefully, and feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and potty breaks are handled consistently. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them happy during your absence. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy, and loving environment where both you and your pets feel comfortable and cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Khyli! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been providing dependable pet care for over 14 years. What started as helping friends, family, and neighbors has grown into a passion and career I truly love. I’m currently a pre-veterinary student and enrolled in a Veterinary Medicine program, so I’m always expanding my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and compassionate care. My goal is to become a veterinarian, and every pet I care for is treated with the same patience, respect, and attention I’d give my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care that fits their unique routine and personality. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. That’s why I prioritize communication, consistency, and plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your routine. I know consistency is important for pets, so I always strive to keep them on their normal schedule as much as possible I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else because they’re family. My goal is to make that process as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re doing well while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From growing up with family pets to regularly watching the dogs and cats of friends and relatives, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and routines. What truly sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine bond I build with each pet—I treat every cat and dog as if they were my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away, and I pride myself on providing consistent, attentive care that brings peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pet care is a natural and essential part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around my pets’ needs because their well-being is always my top priority. From morning walks and mealtimes to playtime, grooming, and evening wind-downs, I make sure every aspect of their care is handled with attention and love. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally make time for. That same level of dedication and reliability carries over when I care for other people’s pets, as I treat them with the same love, respect, and responsibility I give my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or new clients, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency in their routine. In my home, I create a calm pet friendly environment where cats and dogs have space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I maintain a regular schedule for feeding, walks, play time, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in the client’s home I respect their space and stick closely to the routine, their dog is familiar with. I also provide regular updates photos, messages, and check in so owners feel connected and reassured.

About: I’ve had a wide variety of animals since I was little, and I’m currently taking my prerequisites for vet school! I am able to care for not only dogs, cats, and rodents, but a wide variety of reptiles, birds, and invertebrates! If you’d like to know more about my knowledge on a specific animal you’d like me to care for, don’t be afraid to ask! I’m an open book! I am also able to bottle feed young puppies or kittens if you are needing time off from doing so! I am currently a college student who does asynchronous work. I am able to adjust my schedule at short notice to accommodate your pet and my work. If house sitting over night is needed, I am able to do my work anywhere! So it all works out in the end. I don’t offer boarding at my home, but I am very accommodating. Whatever your furbaby needs at home, i’ll be able to provide! I can take your dog for walks, clean up accidents, feed, give medication (as long as instructions are provided) and give them quality play time! I am also able to clean up litter boxes, rabbit cages, hamster cages, and other small critter cages. If you are needing live feeder insects daily for your reptilian friend, I am able to pick those up daily for them!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and fostering animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets I care for. I make sure to schedule time each day for walks, play, and relaxation, ensuring that each pet gets the attention they need. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon play session, or evening cuddle time, I adapt my schedule to suit the pets' needs and preferences. I also ensure that I maintain open communication with pet owners to accommodate any specific routines or requests. Pet care is not just a job for me—it's a rewarding part of my day that I approach with love, consistency, and dedication. I have a fenced yard and one friendly cat to keep your pet company. I am able to provide a protected and clean living environment for your pets.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs since age 15, I bring calm, reliable, and high-attention care to every pet I work with. I’ve volunteered with the Humane Society and a local Bay Area puppy rescue, and I’m especially confident supporting puppies, senior pets, and animals who require extra medical attention. I’ve raised two dogs of my own—Player (a full-sized Collie) and Kona (a toy Maltipoo)—and have provided ongoing care for an Australian Shepherd (from 8 weeks old through adulthood), a senior German Shepherd, and a Bengal cat. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home while keeping routines and care instructions consistent, while letting you feel reassured your pet is in good hands while you are away with as many updates as you’d like! I have open availability so I am able to drop by for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays as you need. I find that keeping the dog in their own environment is the least stressful to them. I am able to accommodate whatever you and your fur baby needs! I do have a fenced in yard with no current animals in the house, however I find it best for me to stay in the dogs normal environment vs bringing them into a new one. I am open to discussing if you prefer I keep them at my place, but heavily prefer staying at your home with them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sorroca

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 3,754 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sorroca. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

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

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sorroca.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sorroca. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
