“Karyna was great!! Piper instantly fell in love with her. She was punctual, friendly and you could tell she loves animals. She sent photos and updated me throughout the day. I would definitely ask Karyna to walk Piper again. Thanks Karyna!!”
“Courtney came over to visit our dog a week prior to walking. She’s super friendly, reliable, communicative, and awesome, and we are so excited to have her back to walk him!”
“Meaghan was such a great dog walker. She showed a lot of patience and care with Momo and detailed his activities and behaviors during their walks carefully. She was also always promptly on time even in the weekends and if she was ever running late, she made sure to send a text, keeping us updated. I am so glad to have found Meaghan for Momo!!”

About: Growing up, my family had a menagerie of pets. In addition to cats and dogs, we had everything from rabbits, chickens, horses, birds, both salt water and fresh water fish. Today, I keep a few species of reptiles and occasionally help my grandma with our two family horses. Looking forward to getting in my cat/dog time in with your pet! I'm widely available mon-fri during the days when most people are at work. While I'm less available on weekends, I am occasionally available on Saturdays. I like to meet animals where they're at and work from there. Whether that means going slow on walks or going to the park to run, is up to the dog. For cats, everything is on their terms also, it just looks different.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs in my home. For the past 8 years, I’ve also had a cat who has taught me so much about patience, care, and the unique bond we share with our pets. Between my own pets and caring for friends’ cats and dogs, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life since I’ve always had animals at home. I love starting and ending the day with walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule, I can easily fit in feeding, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, making sure pets feel loved and cared for just like they would with their own family. In my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the routines they’re used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship so they feel at ease. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and exercise when needed, and I’m always careful to keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. Every pet is unique, and I make sure to adjust to their needs so they feel cared.
“I really appreciate Raquel taking care of my Beagle, Henry, while I was away. She was kind, friendly, and caring, and kept me updated with photos and videos of their walks. Henry is very energetic, and it was reassuring to know he was in good hands. Communication was good, and I appreciated her efforts to follow my instructions and make sure Henry was safe and comfortable. Thank you, Raquel, for taking care of my little buddy!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hamsters, turtles, and fish, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to make their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am not working but I have a 20 month baby who loves walk, and he is used to big dogs and he loves animals so in the morning he will be my companion in the strollers but in the afternoon after my husband gets home I can walk your dog with no baby. I will sleep with your pet if it is used to, I have a big back hard and can walk all over the house, depends on your routine I will walk your pet as necessary
“Loved Gabriel’s WILLINGNESS to learn from the dogs! I intend to snatch Gabriel up because of this and his kindness with my fur babies! I will DEFINITELY be booking him for a weekly schedule 😊!”
About: Hi my name is Camille and I am currently a nursing student waiting to start my first semester in 2027 looking for a fun extra side job. My dog who was 15 years old passed away last year. I had him his whole life and took care of him from a puppy to a senior. Being around animals makes me really happy and I love all dogs and cats. I have a lot of experience dog sitting, dog walking, keeping track of feeding times/potty breaks, I also have done a few cat sitting gigs for friends. I do work part time as a bartender , and i’m on a break from nursing school till 2027 so my availability is very open besides when I go to the gym, but walking dogs can be an exercise as well! I have a big backyard and a nice house for dogs to run around in. I also love to be active with animals and play with them.
About: Hello, my name is Allyson! Im a stay-home Wife, Part-time College Student and Full-Time Pet Parent. I’ve cared for a vast variety of animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians and poultry. I currently have (3) dogs, (2) chickens,(1) gecko, (1) dart frog, (3) hermit crabs, (2) millipedes and a bunch of stick bugs! As for the dogs, I have one puppy, one adult and one senior. Each dog was a former rescue with their own set of special needs, health issues and behavior challenges, in which I have diligently worked to improve over the years. With this said, I understand, pets can be time consuming and life gets busy… so let me help! Do you need help with feeding, potty breaks, socializing and/or playtime, message me to work out a care plan and I can ensure you I will give your animal the same love and care in which I give my own. Look forward to working with you!!! PS: I come with dog treats unless owner states otherwise. I’m a stay home wife / pet parents and part time student. My schedule is usually pretty open aside from Tuesdays and Thurdays when I have a morning and a night class. Additionally my morning are usually pretty busy caring for my own animals, so I prefer to do walks and check ins after 12pm, although I’m willing to make exceptions. I care for clients pets just as I would my own. I have pet set for a number of friends and family members, with no incident which can be shown my reviews. Additionally prior to my time as a college student , I was a property manager , so I have plenty of experience entering and exiting my tenants homes in a safe and responsible manner. I will often reach out to clients in the event of questions, comments, concerns and/or just notice anything out of the ordinary.
“Elizabeth really went above and beyond by taking Panda on a nice long walk! She took pics and documented everything fully which was awesome and much appreciated. If we could we would have her walk Panda every week:) We look forward to having her walk and sit Panda in the future when we are away!”
About: Hi, I’m currently an owner or two dogs - King Charles Cavalier and Pug. Dogs were in my life since the day I was born. I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! Walking, playing, visiting, meeting your beautiful friend! In the near future I will offer boarding. I can take care of any dog, I assisted two puppy deliveries, raised two litters of dogs, trained puppies and helped senior dogs that needed extra attention.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a teenager, starting with stray cats. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, mice, and rats. I currently have birds and a cat. I work from home, and have ample time to take care of people's pets with my current schedule, especially on the weekends. I can also do overnight sittings. I will always follow the instructions of clients when taking care of pets at their homes. When taking care of pets at mine, I have the ability to crate them if needed, and give them space.
About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs and cats since I was a young child. As an adult I have owned numerous dogs/cats and often pet sit or walk for family and friends. I’m very comfortable with senior dogs and puppies as well. I’m currently working part-time and homeschool my 8 year old son so I would have plenty of time to walk and play with your fur baby. When I'm not working I’m a stay at home mom and I would love to fill my time with some new furry friends. I would often bring my son with me as long as the pet is child friendly. He is very mature, loves animals and is very good with helping care for them. We are free Sunday through Thursday and some Saturdays I’m a very responsible and clean person. In my own home I’m very aware of our pets safety and will be the same in yours. I will respect any house rules that are in place.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vacaville
Loretta is a dream! She has been with us through my first dog who passed, and a new puppy, and when she moved away my heart was totally broken. We had some fill-in sitters but none that really lived up to the Loretta standard! I was so happy to learn that she recently moved back to the local area, and she has now taken her place back into our daily life here! She gives an amazing daily update, sends lots of pics, and truly cares about our furry family members. She even notes when things are off around the house and will send me an update as needed. We could not be happier with her care!
Elliot was absolutely fantastic with our dogs. We needed someone last-minute before going out of town, and he showed up right on time for the meet-and-greet. One of our dogs has significant anxiety when we leave and did not warm up to anyone the entire time we were gone — but Elliot remained incredibly gentle, patient, and respectful of her boundaries the whole time. He even went out to buy more treats when we ran out and was thoughtful enough to ask about any food allergies first. For our anxious dog, he found kind alternatives to walking her so she wouldn’t feel pressured, while still making sure she was safe, comfortable, and cared for. Throughout our trip, he sent pictures, videos, and regular updates, keeping us informed every step of the way. We will definitely be using Elliot again. He’s an amazing dog walker and a truly compassionate, trustworthy person to care for your pets.

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 Vacaville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Vacaville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Vacaville. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
