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.

About: I've taken care of my own dogs and cats for the past 20 years, and those of family members and friends. I grew up with dogs, cats, and birds and love all animals and the joy and companionship they provide. I care deeply about their well being and have volunteered with and donated to different animal welfare organizations throughout the years. My senior dog has allergies and autoimmune issues, so I'm knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and know how to administer some medications. I'm an empty nester who doesn't work outside the home, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm available most weekdays and evenings and some weekends. Our dog is a member of our family and I treat all pets as such. Unfortunately, he doesn't always do well with dogs he isn't familiar with, so I can't offer boarding at this time.

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for 8 years and truly love spending time with pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet-care needs. I’m reliable with scheduling and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and will follow their normal routines and your specific instructions. I’m respectful of your home, keep pets supervised, and provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.

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 always had pets in my life As a kid we had both cats and dogs as family pets. As an adult I’ve had pets of my own, as well as done tons of fostering, from puppies to fospice. I’ve also done lots of pet sitting and watched friends dogs. I can’t imagine my life without dogs in it! I’m currently not working, so I have a very open schedule. If I have to leave, dogs would never be home alone for more than 3 hours at a time. I have a fenced in front and backyard and never leave dogs unattended. I always make sure to attach leashes before we leave the yard for walks or when leaving the house.
About: Since childhood, I grew up in a small village where there were many stray dogs and cats that I would always bring home. This is where my unconditional love for animals began. I have more than 10 years of experience with animals. To me, home is where your family and your little four-legged friend are. I have a big and kind heart, and I am ready to share my love not only with my own little pet but also to fill the hearts of other small dogs with my love. At the moment, I spend most of my time at home since I am not working, and I would be happy to be a nanny for your pet 24/7, 7 days a week. I have a friendly little dog at home, a miniature poodle named Chanel. She is ready to share her toys and pads, haha, and more. We also love walking and visiting the dog park near our home. We would be happy to show your pet our favorite spots during our walks together.

“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.

About: I have been around all different types of animals my whole life. I have bottle feed newborn puppies and nursed them to adults. I also have a senior dog myself whom is my best friend. Getting to work with a different variety of animals is what I think sets me apart. Hello everyone! Currently I am in nursing school which is online and I am free most days to take care of you furry babies! I am on rover to be able to work and still have time to focus on school! Please reach out for any questions! I have grown up with different sized dogs, my first two dogs have always been inside dogs and my two big dogs have always been outside dogs. They are walked and played with daily, and are feed twice a day. For a clients home I will follow every request the client has for there pet without question.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. One of my earliest experiences was helping my family foster a mother dog and her nine puppies, which taught me the importance of patience, routine, and attentive care from a young age. Since then, I’ve cared for both cats and dogs throughout my life and have regularly looked after pets for family, friends, and neighbors. Since 2021, I’ve been providing pet sitting services and have experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors. I have a senior cat of my own, so I understand the extra attention older pets often need—from monitoring changes in behavior or appetite to recognizing early signs of illness and ensuring they stay comfortable with their routines. I’m also comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering many common medications, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. To continue building my knowledge, I’m currently completing the prerequisite courses for a Veterinary Technician certification program. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I currently work part-time (up to 20 hours per week), typically in 5–6 hour shifts, 3–4 days each week. Because my college courses are fully online, I’m able to spend most of my days at home, giving your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby to cuddle with, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs and routine. I genuinely love spending quality time with animals, and I’m more than happy to have pets snuggle up on the couch or even in bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. If your pet is comfortable being alone for a few hours while I’m at work, I’ll make sure they receive lots of love, exercise, and attention before I leave and as soon as I return. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take extra precautions to create a safe environment by keeping food, medications, and anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I know how stressful it can be when a curious pet gets into something they shouldn’t, so I’m always mindful of preventing those situations before they happen. During walks, I check the temperature of the pavement to protect sensitive paws and adjust our route or schedule if it’s too hot. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh, clean water and monitor them for signs of overheating, discomfort, or any changes in behavior. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same level of care, attention, and love I’d want for my own animals.
“Lucy was great with our two dogs. We met her at our home for our first walk because our pups can be a little shy. Lucy was calm, confident, and caring with both of them. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker!”

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 💕🐾

Riley did a great job with my shy grown pup. Riley shared quality feedback and photos with me on how Dakota responded to her, even after meeting her, which was helpful. Dakota is a shy girl, but sometimes warms up quickly. She gets homesick from her mama, but Riley handled it well. She was timely, responsive, and professional.

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.

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.
