About: About Me Hi! I’m Nina 🐾 I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family adopted and cared for several rescue dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Lab mixes, and Shih Tzus. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and individualized care are for every pet. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to my mini long-haired dachshund, Nemo, who completely stole my heart 💛 Caring for him has made me even more attentive to the little things that matter to pet parents — keeping routines consistent, providing lots of affection and supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Outside of Rover, I work in professional services within the tech industry, so I’m very organized, dependable, and communicative. I also work a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend quality time with the pets in my care throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. My goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home and where you feel confident knowing they’re being treated like family 🐶 ⸻ Experience • 10+ years of hands-on pet care experience • Experienced with rescue dogs and different temperaments • Cared for breeds including Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Lab mixes, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds • Comfortable with puppies, small dogs, and senior dogs • Experience maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty routines, and medication instructions • Frequent photo and video updates for pet parents 📸 • Calm, patient, and attentive approach to care • Flexible hybrid work schedule allows for consistent supervision and companionship You can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while they’re with me 🐾 I work a flexible hybrid schedule in professional services, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and updates. I’m especially attentive to keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Your dog will be as spoiled as mine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I live in a clean, pet-friendly townhome and have experience caring for small dogs and puppies, including my mini dachshund, Nemo 🐾 I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any preferences you provide. I always prioritize secure walks, supervised playtime, and a calm environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved. I also provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.
“Nicole's first visit with snoopy was fantastic, he was very happy when I returned and she made time to play with him before she left. I highly recommend Nicole and look forward to using her again.”
About: Hey I'm Rylee! I've been pet sitting for a couple years and it truly has brought me so much joy. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors and from timid to outgoing. I treat all dogs as my own and can't wait to meet new furry friends! I'm a college student taking only a few classes so time shouldn't be an issue for me. On the weekends and weekday afternoons/evenings I will be fully committed to taking care of your pup! I can very easily adapt to you and your dog's environment to ensure that everyone is safe and comfortable. I want your pets to feel just as if you had never left.
“Randall was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was so pleased. Randall walked, fed, and played with my girls while I was away at work. She even gave Piggley her medicine. I will definitely be using her again! She is very professional and communicative! Thanks Randall!!”
“George was great! My dogs warmed up to him super quick and he made me feel very confident in his ability to take care of them. Looking forward to having him back again soon!”
“Madeline was amazing! She kept me up to date on my dog and sent the best pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind! It made such a difference knowing my pup was in such caring hands! Will definitely be booking again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Lauren did a fantastic job walking Petra and Jack last night! She was prompt, warm, and friendly right from the moment she arrived. What impressed me most was how quickly she won over Jack—he’s a very picky Jack Russell mix, but he trusted her and took to her immediately! Knowing both dogs were in such capable, caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog walker!
Erika was great! She called and made sure she knew how to get into the apt complex and had all the details needed for walking Bond. I also really appreciate that she went above and beyond by helping me bring in my mail without being asked. That attention to detail is very reassuring when she takes care of Bond!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Fair Oaks is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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.

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 Fair Oaks. 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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
