About: Served as a volunteer and foster parent for many rescued animals in Bali during the pandemic. My experience with animals is vast. Ive grown up with many different kinds of pets. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Reptiles. Rodents. Chickens. ducks. Donkeys. Horses. Pigs. Goats. You name it. I love all animals. I was raised in the foothills in the redwood forest. I’m a very down to earth and healthy lifestyle human who just loves fur babies of all types. I’m attentive and loving and playful with animals. I really need it as much as they do. I work early in the mornings off around 9am and then have most of the day to myself. It’s nice to have an excuse to take a dog on a walk or to lounge around with some kitty cuddles. Having animals in my home makes it feel more like a home. In my own home I will be in close proximity at all times and I will be home the entire time so I can sense when potty breaks or walks are needed. I really enjoy taking walks myself so it’s a perfect fit to have dogs over. Cats are similar with the exception of walks unless you want to leash train them or already have. I love to keep an eye on them so they don’t hurt themselves and I give lots of play time.

About: Hi there! I’m Chelsea, and I am so excited to help care for your furry friends! Growing up, my home always had a handful of critters, from cats, to dogs, to chickens, and many others. I loved it so much! I’ve been house sitting for many years and have worked with cats, dogs, chickens, small mammals, and fish. Trusting someone else to care for your animals can be a little daunting, but their care is my first priority. I have worked with animals of all ages, temperaments, and need levels. I have given oral and topical medications and will work with you to fulfill all of your pets’ medical needs. I also volunteered at an animal rescue for several years where I took dogs on walks, cleaned their areas, and assisted with the quarantine dogs. Your pets’ needs are my priority, no matter what that may be. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I am available 7 days a week, at any time of the day, whenever your pets need it! I am available for drop in services and walks at any time of the day. I will visit your pets in your home, where they are most comfortable, and walk them in areas that we have discussed. Their safety in and out of your home is my top priority.

About: Hi friends! I’ve not only grown up with dogs but have one of my own! I’ve been pet sitting/boarding for over 10 years. Good friends, family members and customers of mine have all trusted me to watch their animals or stay over at their house and care for their babies! I’d love to help out if I can. I am currently for a brewery and have some free time! That may change in the future but for now, I’m here and available to give 100% of my attention to yours and my fur baby. I live in an apartment downtown. I’m close to numerous parks and dog parks. I live in a pet friendly environment and safe neighborhood. If I was at your home, I would follow any instructions you would like me to follow.

About: Having animals ranging in all ages since I was 5 has definitely helped but also helping friends and family since the age of 13 has been the best experience. I am available 24/7, our animals are just as important as us so I believe in having time for them whenever you or them may need it. Always following directions given by owner and doing thorough checks throughout the time I am with your 4 legged family. Staying aware of surroundings when out and about in walks.

About: I offer a variety of loving, reliable, and tailored services to meet the needs of you and your pet. Whether they need a quick walk, a cozy place to stay, or some extra care during the day, I’ve got you covered! 1. Dog Walking Services Your pup will enjoy safe, fun, and engaging walks tailored to their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a leisurely stroll, or a little playtime at the park, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. 2. Boarding in My Home When you’re away, your pet can enjoy a home away from home! They’ll stay in my safe, cozy, and pet-friendly space, where they’ll get all the love, care, and attention they deserve. 3. Boarding in Your Home If your pet is most comfortable in their own space, I can stay with them in your home. I’ll keep them company, follow their routine, and make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. 4. Doggie Day Care Perfect for busy days or when your pet needs some extra attention! Your pup will spend the day with me in a safe and stimulating environment, complete with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of fun activities. 5. Drop-In Visits Need someone to check in on your pet during the day? I’ll stop by to make sure they’re fed, let out for potty breaks, and given some love and attention while you’re away. No matter which service you choose, I’m here to treat your pet like family. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! Let’s create a care plan that works for you—reach out today! Questions I will ask before we book a service: Can we meet beforehand to see if we are a good fit? What’s your dog’s name, age, and breed? What’s their usual routine? (feeding, walks, playtime, bedtime) How is your dog’s temperament? (e.g., friendly, anxious, energetic, shy) Does your dog have any medical conditions or special needs? Are they up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention? What are their favorite activities or toys? Do they have any triggers or fears? (e.g., loud noises, other animals, strangers) How do they react to other dogs, pets, or people? Are there specific commands or cues I should know? Does your dog have any allergies or dietary restrictions? Do they require medication? If yes, how and when should it be administered? What’s the best way to comfort them if they get anxious? Do they have any behavioral quirks I should be aware of? (e.g., chewing, barking) Who should I contact in case of an emergency? (vet info and alternate contact) Is there anything else I should know to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety? I have 9 Airbnbs and own real estate in TX but currently back in California while running my business from home. I can work from anywhere. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I usually wake up feed the pets, walk and play with the doggies then start my work during the day. I will let the dogs out during the day and then feed and walk in the evenings after I finish working. How I would care for your pets: 1. Feeding: Regular Feeding Schedule: Feed your dog at the same times each day to establish a routine. 2. Exercise: Daily Walks: Ensure your dog gets at least one to two walks per day, tailored to their energy levels. 3. Playtime: Engage in play with toys, fetch, or other activities to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. And anything else you would like me to do.

About: I have taken care of dogs on my own since I got my dog Mr. Buddy who is an Australian Shepard. I raised him from a puppy when I got him in Alaska when I was in the air force. I also watch my sister's dogs all the time, and I've decided to turn my love of dogs into a profession. I've learned a lot about dogs from great people like ceaser milon and the dog father, and many great people I've met along the way on my travels in the military. Your dogs will be well taken care of under my care. I have decided to do this as a full time gig. I want to be my own boss and work better with animals then I do people lol. I have delt with dogs of every age from my grandparents older German Shepard of 14 years old to my dog Mr. Buddy as a young 12 week old pup. I can assure that I will adhere to any safety practices that you want for your fur baby. I also have my 4 year old Aussie, Mr. Buddy, that does great with other dogs and socializing them. I've seen him help mentally troubled dogs many times. Off course I will not bring him if the client doesn't want him there. But once again I care assure that any dog will be safe under my care.

About: One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos and updates to owners while they're away. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for when you can't be there. I genuinely love working with animals of all kinds. Over the past 10 years, I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, lizards, chickens, and many other pets. Animals bring so much joy to the world, and I believe they deserve attentive, compassionate care. I'm known for being reliable, flexible, and easy to work with—whether I'm helping friends, family, or new clients I've just met. Because every pet has unique needs, I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences. I also have extensive experience administering medications and caring for pets with special requirements. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family member. I currently work full time as an office manager in the Roseville area, but I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to support pet care needs throughout the day. I’m able to step out during my lunch breaks for potty visits, check-ins, or to administer medications when needed. My routine is well-structured, which helps me reliably accommodate most scheduling requests and provide consistent care. I understand how important timely visits and dependable support are for both pets and their owners, and I do my best to ensure that each visit is handled with care and attention. I believe the best pet care starts with following the guidance provided by pet owners. They know their pets best and understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. One thing I've learned over the years is that every animal is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to caring for them. I also place a strong emphasis on observation and communication. When I first meet a pet, I take time to learn their normal behaviors and establish a baseline for how they typically act. If I notice anything that seems unusual or out of character, I promptly reach out to the owner to keep them informed. Clear, timely communication helps ensure the best possible care and provides peace of mind for pet owners. Above all, my goal is to create a safe, trusting, and compassionate environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: Hello! I’ve been loving and caring for local pets for around 25 yrs. Some pets were young pups and kittens; some were older seniors. I specialize in petsitting at my clients homes. My longest pet sitting job was 3.5 weeks while the owners were in Italy. I have many referrals. I’ve taken care of miniature horses, Friesian horses, and a pig. (We have a lot of rural homes in Auburn area). I’m retired from a construction accounting job. We’re gladly at home most days! My shedule is flexible; if you have an emergency need for pet sitting, I’m your gal. I prefer to petsit at my client’s homes. The animals rather appreciate this. I like to meet the animal(s) before sitting so when I arrive, we have a connection. I give the animals plenty of one-on-one attention. This may include doggy massage to calm them and get to know them. Lots of walks if they like that. Potty Breaks every couple of hours to begin with, as they’re sometimes nervous or have stomach upsets. I’d like to know your favorite names for them, what your routines are, rituals, their favorite things to do. I’ve also stayed with animals after their surgeries to monitor when the owner has to work.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fornis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,708 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fornis. 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 Fornis. 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 Fornis.

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 Fornis. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
