About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Morgan gave great reports, is a top notch communicator, and she was so sweet with our two dogs. We felt really comfortable and happy to have Morgan be their dog walker while we were away. Thanks so much Morgan ◡̈”

“Audriana is a delight. She is very thorough and professional. Combine that with her knowledge and natural gift with animals she is perfectly suited to care for them. Our introduction and first dog walk could not have gone better. Audriana is patient and a fast learner. Her and Ragnar became fast friends! I am absolutely going to have repeat walks with Audriana.”
“My dog Juni can be pretty anxious but liked Bernadette from the moment she met her. I know Juni is not the easiest dog to walk but Bernadette was great! I booked her for reoccurring walks every week day for 8ish weeks. Would highly recommend :)”
About: Hi there! My name is Halle, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all kinds. I’ve worked as a team lead at a cat boarding facility, where I handled everything from giving medications (including insulin, oral, and topical medications) to making sure each kitty had a clean, cozy space and plenty of playtime and affection. I’ve also been a trusted pet sitter for both long and short-term stays, cared for large and small dogs (including walking, feeding, administering meds, and play), and even provided overnight care. I’m comfortable with shy pets, senior pets, and those who need a little extra TLC. I currently have a flexible part-time work schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets throughout the day. I’m generally available for: • Morning, midday, and evening drop-ins or walks • Weekend visits and stays • Holiday bookings (with advance notice) I can easily crate your animal if requested. I will stay within your preferred walking area if needed. And have no problem working with any size of animal.
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats. My family would normally have at least 3 pets in the home at a time. My family owned smaller dogs, usually under 30lbs. I currently own a shiba inu and a Siamese cat. My shiba inu is a very shy and reserve dog, which has made her more dog aggressive. So, I have experience with dogs that require more patience and attention. For the summer I will have an open schedule. I will start school in the fall (Late August) and I will have reduced availability, but can be available on weekends. I will keep my calendar updated with any changes. I am flexible to your fur baby’s needs. I am happy to go on walks (long or short), playing fetch, or for any cats playing with their favorite toys. If they need water or food, I can provide help with that as well.
About: I have had pets my entire life and I absolutely love them! In the past, my teacher has asked me to take care of her pet bearded dragon during school breaks. I have also babysat and taken care of multiple puppies and cats at the same time. Most recently, whenever my roommate was gone for a long period of time or out of town, I would feed and walk her dog along with making sure he got a lot of love and play time too! I just recently graduated and have a pretty open schedule while looking for work. I am happy to help take care of your pets whenever it may fit with my current schedule! I currently am living in a house with one dog. I am always giving him much needed love and attention, playing with him, and taking him on walks. I cannot take care of other pets in my own home at this moment, but I am happy to give the same love and attention to your pets in the comfort of their own home. I am willing to follow any instructions or anything else you ask from me if I were to stay in your home!

I provide lots of indoor play time and attention and affection.

“Lindsey is absolutely fabulous. I feel very lucky to have found her. She's been watching and walking my two Ridgebacks for six months and they get so excited to see her it's great to know they are in good hands.”
About: I hold a bachelor's degree in Animal Science from UC Davis, with a specialized focus on animal behavior. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, I've seamlessly transitioned from caring for playful puppies to nurturing the needs of wise seniors. I was a manager at a small company dedicated to animal vitamins, where I improved my expertise in animal nutrition. With a holistic approach to pet care grounded in both education and hands-on experience, I am committed to providing the best possible care for your furry baby!! I currently work full time partially remote (2 days of the week I am in office and unavailable) but I am fully available the other days of the week as I manage my own time. I can take same day visits and I am flexible for you! While caring for your pets in the comfort of your home, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and following the routine they are used to. Whether it’s feeding time, walks, playtime, cuddles, or their favorite activities, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also keep your pet’s space clean and tidy, send fun photo updates, and stay in communication so you always have peace of mind knowing your pets are getting the love and personalized attention they deserve.
About: I've taken care of my own pets as well ask friends and family's pets. They're part of the family and need to be treated as so. I recently moved back here. Looking for some fun and exploring with dog walking and owt sitting. I can be called last minute or scheduled out 6+ months. I have a fenced yard at my house. I will provide the top care for your animal in my home or your and follow your routines to the best of my ability
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and being around animals has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond my love for animals, I’ve spent nearly 30 years working in clients’ homes as a remodeling contractor, which has taught me the importance of reliability, respect, and treating every home with care. When you leave your pet with me, you’re choosing someone who will care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own family. I’ve also cared for chickens and am comfortable with backyard flocks, so if you have feathered family members, they’re in good hands too. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and maintain your pet’s normal routine. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the exercise, affection, and care they deserve while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll carefully follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, along with regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

I currently am working part time and I will have plenty of time to be able to play with your puppy I currently get off at 4pm and I’ll have plenty of time to play with them.

Bill it's been such a great opportunity to get to know you and the care you provide for Ty Chi. I always felt secure being away and knowing that ty is in good hands with you and I'm sad that we will be moving out of the area because people as genuine as you are hard to find. Thanks again for everything and hopefully we'll cross paths again. Good luck on all your future endeavors
Pleasure to find Vanessa on the Rover app! I immediately felt she was a great person and her love and care for dogs shines. She asked all the right questions to make sure my girl would be happy and safe on her walks - what more could a dog mom ask for? Thanks Vanessa- Princess Jellybean has really enjoyed her walks with you 💕🐾

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 Citrus Heights. 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 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.

- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
