“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!”

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…

“Mikayla came and met Green Bean who can be pretty picky when it comes to people and he loved her! I really appreciate that she took time out of her night to meet him😊She took him for a walk at the time she was asked and sent pics to keep me informed. I hope to use her again if she’s available”

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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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.
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.
