We are repeat clients. Payton is consistent, professional and responsive. She is punctual and covers good distance when walking my two dogs. They are always tired and satisfied with their walks. She provides good feedback and photos on their report cards. We highly recommend Payton.

I'm so happy to have found Samantha to walk my dog while I'm at work. She responded to my initial request almost immediately and has been very responsive ever since. I needed someone on short notice and Samantha was super accommodating which was a relief. She was great with my dog at the meet and greet and I know she'll be great with her every time! She's wonderful to work with and I'm looking forward to my dog seeing her on a regular basis.

He watched our dog while we were out of town for four days and he was reliable and communicated with us during each visit. He sent photos of our pup on each visit and also fed and filled his water bowl. We will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Cedric.

About: Since I was old enough to walk, animals have been a loving part of my life. Growing up in a household where pets were treated as family, taught me that every dog and cat has a unique personality and set of needs. I am particularly skilled at reinforcing consistent routines. If you are working on leash training or basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' I make sure to incorporate those into our walks so your progress doesn't stall while you're at work. I am also experienced with senior care, understanding that sometimes a 'walk' is more about a slow sniff-around-the-block and some gentle companionship than a fast-paced walk. My professional life is uniquely flexible, which allows me to be the reliable 'midday anchor' for your pet’s day. I have dedicated my Wednesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, specifically to pet care. This means I am available during the most high-demand hours—when you’re stuck in back-to-back meetings or enjoying a weekend afternoon away. Because I don't juggle a rigid 9-to-5 office job, I can offer consistent arrival windows and the focused attention your pet deserves without rushing to the next appointment. I will treat your home with the same level of respect I’d want for my own. My process is thorough: I double-check that all doors are deadbolted, alarm systems are set, and water bowls are topped off before I leave. To keep you in the loop, I provide detailed Rover Cards after every visit. You’ll receive photos of our adventures, a map of our walk, and a summary of all 'business' handled. If a mess occurred while you were away, I handle the clean-up discreetly and thoroughly so you can come home to a fresh house and a happy, relaxed pet.

South Natomas, Sacramento, CA, 95834

About: I’m a proud dog dad to three dogs—two Rat Terrier twins and a Golden Retriever—and they’ve completely shaped how I approach pet care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I treat every pet with the same patience, attentiveness, and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, medication, routines, and handling unexpected situations calmly. My goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, cared for, and happy, while giving you peace of mind. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m generally available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime during the week and on weekends, especially around midday and afternoons. I keep my schedule pretty consistent, which helps me show up reliably and give dogs real attention, exercise, and care without stretching myself too thin. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment, whether I’m caring for your dog at my home or yours. At home, pets get close supervision, a secure fenced space, and plenty of care and attention. In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, walking preferences, feeding schedule, medication needs, and any specific instructions so they stay comfortable and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

Natomas Park, Sacramento, CA, 95835

About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and understanding I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve raised and cared for dogs through all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need gentle training and consistency to senior dogs who deserve extra comfort, patience, and attention. I recently lost my own dog, who was truly the love of my life. While I’m not in a position to welcome another dog of my own right now, caring for other people’s dogs allows me to share that same love, devotion, and attentiveness. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for while you’re away. I currently have a full time job, so weekends would work best for me (including long weekends). Or I could also make most evenings work. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. In my apartment, dogs enjoy a calm, clean, pet-safe space with plenty of supervision, regular walks, playtime, and rest. I prioritize enrichment and frequent potty breaks to keep dogs happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible: feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed so pets feel secure while you’re away.

About: Moved away from my 6 year old Shih Tzu, Scarlet (she's keeping my mom company) and missing dog companionship. I’ve owned dogs my entire life, previously fostered, and temporarily volunteered at a dog salon. Ready to take care of your pup. I’m patient, gentle & I focus on creating an environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I work part-time so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m able to be present for walks and companionship without rushing. I like giving pets time to relax and feel comfortable, especially in new situations. I live in a clean, calm apartment with plenty of space for dogs to relax. My apartment has a dog park and I live directly across a park. Makes regular walks, fresh air, and structured outdoor time easy.

About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, well-trained pups. Though I'm newer to dog care, I'm patient, attentive, and eager to provide a safe, calm environment for dogs who are easygoing and enjoy a relaxed routine. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. My heart is with cats, but I'm always happy to give well-mannered dogs the love and attention they deserve too! I'm currently open and flexible with my schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.

About: Since the day I was born I've always had multiple pets in the household! My first pets were my 2 cats and since then I've had 10 dogs! I've also been blessed to take care of countless friends & family members' dogs & cats throughout my life. Animals are the light of my life and there's nothing that puts a bigger smile on my face than spending time with them and making them happy. I believe what sets me apart from a lot of sitters is that I have experience with every type of dog you could think of! Large dogs, small dogs, medium dogs, puppies, seniors, anxious, crazy, mean, injured, I've even got a 3 legged rescue pup at home! I'm so excited to meet your amazing pets and I promise to treat them all with love :) I'm currently a fighter & student pilot training from 5pm-8pm on weekdays & 9am- 11am on weekends. My flight school is usually only once a week and sometimes not at all as it is just a hobby, so my schedule is extremely flexible from morning until evening! You're dogs will always be safe under my care! I will gladly travel to your area to check in with your pets and take care of them however you would like. We can go on walks, play, be fed, go out to the bathroom, and more. If you're interested in bringing your pets over to my house it may be negotiated only if they are friendly as I do have 4 dogs currently living with me.

Shelby feels like family. I asked her to stop by so I could introduce her to Lala and walk her through the routine. She was on time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She was at ease with Lala, who is almost blind, and somewhat stand offish. She is definitely, a keeper!

About: Hello! I'm a full-time student at CSUS and work for the university during the school year. I began offering Rover services in the summer of 2022. I've cared for both cats & dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds since then through Rover. I also grew up caring for small, medium, large, leash reactive, energetic, timid, and senior dogs! I love dogs and am always looking for new and different ways to provide them with physical and mental enrichment. I enjoy spending time with dogs, trying to teach them something new, learning more about dogs, and caring for them. Anytime I have breaks from my classes and job, such as weekends, summer, and holidays, I can provide my best care for your pet. Your pet's trust and comfort are the most important things to me. I will always try to follow their regular schedule to create a sense of normalcy. I currently live in an apartment complex with my 20-lb dog. I live close to a park within walking distance and nice walking routes throughout my neighborhood. Your pets' safety and happiness are the most important thing as well as a stress-free environment. I always try my best to create a sense of normalcy (as much as possible) during their time with me.

About: 🐶 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve cared for all kinds of furry (and not-so-furry!) friends—from big doggies like Akitas and Labradors to tiny pups like Yorkies and Malteses, plus rabbits, hamsters, squirrels, birds, turtles, and even snakes. I’ve been there for puppies just born, mamas during pregnancy and delivery, little ones nursing and growing up, playful adults, and sweet seniors. No matter what stage of life your fur baby is in, you can trust that I’ll love and care for them as if they were part of my own family. 🐾 Right now I live with five little pups under 8 lbs, and they absolutely love making new friends. They have free roam of the house all day, with pet stairs to help them hop onto the couch. 🌻Currently, I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company. I provide potty breaks every 2-4 hours and gentle paw wipes after each. I serve meals right on schedule, and in the afternoons I like to prepare a bit of fresh food (if you’re okay with it). Before bed, we do nightly tooth brushing, and every Saturday we head to the dog park for some playtime. You’ll get daily photos and videos so you can always feel close to your fur baby. 💉 I only host healthy pets with up-to-date vaccinations, and no sick pets. I maintain a clean and safe space, and follow each owner’s instructions closely.

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs since I was 10 years old, including my own dog as well as many of our neighbors growing up. We just lost our dog this past year, he was 13 years old and had him since 2010. I spent the most time with him, giving him his walks everyday, and had a big contribution in training him when he was younger. I always made sure that each dog that I took care of ate well, always had water, and received plenty of exercise. My schedule is fairly open right now. I am currently working from home and will be available for dog walking and pet sitting in my home Monday through Sunday, anytime after 11am. I have a fenced backyard with a lot of open space. I will also allow the dog to come inside if needed. We also have a lot of extra toys in the house for the dog to play with.

Payton has been a really good match for Maddy. She’s consistent, communicative, and clearly puts real effort into the walks. I appreciate that she makes sure Maddy gets good mileage while still being mindful of things like weather and pacing—especially since Maddy tends to go all in. The updates are also really helpful. I feel very comfortable having her take care of Maddy.

Kalina has definitely exceeded my expectations as a dog walker. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring/loving towards my fur babies. At first contact, she responded very quickly and was willing to meet the next day on such short notice. Kalina was very patient with my boy, Ghost, especially when he hid under the bed for 30 mins during the first scheduled walk. She contacted me immediately to figure out next steps. Kalina wanted to respect my dog's comfortability, which I very much appreciated. The same day, Ghost warmed up to her and both of my dogs ended up enjoying the outdoors. Kalina made sure to communicate when she arrived at the house and left, also included pictures for me to see. I can tell that both Ghost and Hazel love her! Kalina did such an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with their fur babies. They are in great hands with her!
