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: 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'm an excellent choice to take care of your precious pets! Not just because I'll provide your pets with the most attentive and loving care possible, but because I'll stay with your pets at all times. Pet sitting is my full time job. That means I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Overnight house sitting works well for me. I stay at my houses all day and night, except for the occasional errand. Your pets will be happy to have a trusted companion all day. I also provide excellent and attentive drop-in visits! You and your pets will be in good hands with me. I've cared for dogs and cats since childhood. That makes over FOUR decades of personal experience caring for all of the dogs and cats in my life! I grew up on a small family farm and have experience taking care of horses, sheep, pigs, geese, chickens, and fresh and saltwater fish. I have years of professional experience in pet sitting. Past pet owners have expressed that they were very happy with my services. I've taken care of a variety of dog breeds, from tiny Yorkies to Bull Mastiffs and Great Danes. I'm comfortable with all dog breeds, and love to do research on the various dog and cat breeds that I'm caring for. I feel confident in my knowledge of your pets' needs, including appropriate interaction with them, proper feeding, exercising, using vets, training reinforcement, and oral medication administration. I'm experienced in the care of puppies, senior dogs, and special needs dogs. I've also trained puppies. I have a caring, positive and calm approach with animals. Many past pet owners have said that their pets respond to me in a positive way. Dogs are a very important part of my life; caring for them keeps me happy! I have my own reliable car and am a nonsmoker. When I'm house sitting, I am very respectful of pet owners' houses and their privacy. I will care for your pet in any type of environment. I love playing with pets outdoors, playing fetch, and brushing them. I also enjoy taking dogs on long walks. Small indoor settings are also great. I provide lots of indoor play time and attention and affection.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Khylei, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away from your pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I have full availability and am flexible with scheduling, including last-minute requests when possible. I’m Pet CPR & First Aid Certified, experienced with medications, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets, shy animals, or those needing extra attention, I provide reliable care, regular updates, and lots of love. I also have experience with rabbits, reptiles, livestock, fish, and more! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care is my passion & fulltime job! I’m available any day or time for your furry family on weekdays & weekends! I hope to meet you soon! I focus on making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home while sticking closely to their normal routine. I follow all care instructions carefully and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care tailored to their personality. Moving at a pets pace while they’re in a high stress state (mom & dad being gone is stressful to pets!!) is crucial to bonding & helping them be comfortable which is always my goal! I take safety seriously by keeping a close eye on surroundings, securing doors and leashes, and creating a calm environment. I also send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give them the a higher level of care than a boarding facility, just with more 1-on-1 love and comfort.

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.

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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
