About: Meet Your Pet Sitters – Dave & Sylvia 🐾 Hi there! I'm Dave, and together with my wife Sylvia, we offer a loving, safe, and fun home-away-from-home for your fur babies. Our story actually began with our shared love for dogs—so when we say we treat every pup like family, we mean it from the heart. I've been boarding dogs for years and have had the joy of caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. After a short break, I'm back and ready to open our home again to your beloved pets! Whether it's a weekend stay or a longer visit, you can trust that your dog will be cared for like one of our own—with lots of love, playtime, cuddles, and updates for you, too. Our home is calm, dog-friendly, and filled with positive energy (and a few extra treats). We know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away, and that's exactly what we aim to give you—with every tail wag and happy snooze. Let us be your dog's second family. We can't wait to welcome them in! 🐶❤️ My schedule is usually pretty flexible. I work remote from home and if I do need to leave.I have help from my mother and step dad. your dog's safety and well-being are our top priority. Our trusted, experienced caregivers provide a secure and loving environment, ensuring peace of mind while you're away."
About: Always had dogs in my life! Enjoy their company and personalities. My pooch would love to have a walking buddy but if your baby is not comfortable around other dogs, I have no issue spending quality time with them! Looking to exercise with new friends! I work full time but having scheduled walks would help motivate me to get my day started early. Can’t wait to meet some new friends! My pooch has many toys that remain untouched!… she has bully sticks, dental chews and the fat I trim from chuck roast gets broiled for crispy guilty snacks. She gets strawberries, blueberries and sardines for more extra treats. Yeah, you could say spoiled…
“Can't recommend Bill enough. He's been the best care taker for my dog when I'm not around and I feel at ease knowing he's in good hands with Bill. Always love reading the personalized notes after each walk. Thanks for your help always!”
“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 ◡̈”
About: i’ve taken care of animals all kinds since i can remember, over night, for a couple hours… feeding bathing and walking. I love it everytime!! I’m currently back home from college doing it online due to some family issues, so i’m really free 24/7! anytime during the day or night. I have a fenced yard as well as pool, although my dog knows not to enter it we have it just to be super safe.
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!

“Stephanie is very friendly and did great with my high energy cattle dog. She was thorough and asked about all his commands and triggers before the walk, which was much appreciated. My dog took to her right away and I’d like to think he’s a good judge of character. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, I'm Vanessa. I am a dog mom at heart (my sweet seniors have crossed to rainbow bridge) so I'll be adopting again when I'm ready, until then I have two rescue bunnies and I have fostered seven dogs through rescues. I have cared for both dogs and cats while their families are out of town. My goal is to keep their routines as close to normal as possible while providing the love and attention they miss while you're away. I personally know how tough it is to leave your pets behind for vacation or a work trip so I am happy to send pictures and/or video of your babies having a good time with me for your peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! My schedule is currently open and I'm available to take care of your pets as needed. I prefer to watch high energy dogs in their own home as I only have a small yard. I have a doggie door and a small yard at my home and free roam 24/7 but can crate your pet if that's your routine overnight. In your home, I try to keep to your routine as much as possible as pets are such creatures of habit It makes them feel most comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Citrus Heights
Ella is wonderful! We booked a quick trip at the last minute and needed her to walk our dog 4 times while we were away. She was responsible, our dog loved her, she even made sure our cat got her usual treats too! She was in communication with me, and sent us photos! We will absolutely use her again!
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
Alyssa is a very reliable and honest dog walker. She is also super friendly and goes above and beyond her dog walking responsibilities on occasion. She walked my mom’s dog, Heidi, for her. Around Valentines Day she was wearing a blouse that my mom really liked, so she went to Walmart and picked her up a blouse similar to hers. My mom really liked having her as a walker.
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 💕🐾
Erin walked our quirky, slow-paced pup Nico today for 30 minutes, and we couldn’t be happier. She was right on time, took him on a solid walk, and Nico responded really well to her calm, kind energy. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of topping off his water afterward—small gestures like that go a long way. Highly recommend Erin for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Citrus Heights on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,009 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Citrus Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Citrus Heights.

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 Citrus Heights. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
