About: I have experience caring for different types of furry pals! I’ve handled large breed, high-energy dogs, small breed, laid-back dogs and even kitties with special diets! I have a pretty flexible schedule on both weekdays and weekends! Please feel free to message me to see if we can make something work. I like to meet the fur babies I’ll be caring for, in order to earn some trust and to understand their boundaries. All pets have different personalities, and I can adjust well to your pets’ needs! I believe that caring for any pet requires patience and compassion. As a pet parent myself, I will care for your beloved pets just as I would want someone to care for mine!

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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my focus on individualized care—I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and emotional needs. I have experience with senior pets, providing gentle handling, medication reminders, and mobility support. I also assist with puppy training, reinforcing potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior. Above all, I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet with patience, love, and respect. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize consistency and structure. I schedule regular feeding times, walks, play, and rest around my other responsibilities so pets always come first. I also build in time for training, enrichment, and any special needs like medications or senior care. This routine allows me to be fully present, reliable, and attentive to each pet every day. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and gentle supervision, adjusting activities to each pet’s energy level and needs. For special cases like puppies or senior pets, I focus on training, medication, or mobility support while keeping their comfort and well-being a top priority.

About: I've taken care of pets my whole life; from hamsters to Great Danes; puppies to old-timers. Friends say I speak dog language. When I spend time with yours they'll want me to join their pack. I have a flexible work schedule so I am available any time of day or night for walks, drop-ins, and house/pet sitting. I can also respond to urgent or unexpected requests. When I go into a client's home I focus on the pet and what I need to do to take care of them. I let them know they can trust me. Dogs often act differently with folks other than their owners so I let them show me who they are. That way we can have a good time together.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and have been raising my own for the past 18 years. I take a gentle approach to new pets and love them as if they were my own. No animal is too big, too old or too shy to deserve to be cared for as their owners would. I’m currently working part time as a nanny so I have plenty of free time to walk your dogs, change your litter box and play with your fur babies. I care for each and every one of your pets as if they were my own. I have a calm demeanor and do not stress easily. I can administer medication and provide basic first aid to pets. All of my services are offered in the pets own home where they are most comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Faith 👋🏼 I’m an experienced, dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves animals of all kinds dogs, cats, puppies, seniors, and everything in between. For the past several years, I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and clients. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and administering medications to both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to know your pet is not only loved, but also safe and properly cared for while you’re away. I especially enjoy long walks and making sure dogs get the exercise and enrichment they need, whether that’s a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk. I’m also very patient with puppies and gentle with cats, adjusting my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I’m attentive, reliable, and communicative, and I treat every home and pet with respect. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I currently have flexible availability and am happy to help with early mornings, evenings, or longer stays when needed. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby 🐾💛 I’m currently available Sunday through Wednesday with very flexible scheduling. On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, I have limited availability and am best suited for early morning or evening visits. I’m happy to coordinate schedules to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need I prioritize safety, routine, and respect whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule closely, including feeding times, walks, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and never allow pets off-leash unless explicitly approved in a safe, enclosed area. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all house rules. I keep the home clean, double-check locks, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel at ease while they’re away. When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure a calm, safe environment with close supervision, plenty of attention, and separation if needed to keep everyone comfortable. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will always communicate promptly if I notice anything out of the ordinary. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Citrus Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Citrus Heights is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,867 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 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 route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Citrus Heights after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 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.
