About: I've been pet sitting since the fifth grade. I've sat cats and dogs and I have experience pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I've always had a passion for animals so this is a great side gig for me. I am a substitute teacher and I have two reptiles at home, so I'm currently only accepting jobs in my immediate area to cut down on travel time. I only come to your home to care for your pets, and I try to make sure they feel happy and comfortable and respecting your home and rules for your pet.

About: Hey there! My nickname is actually Maks, and I'm glad to meet you. I have taken care of dogs and cats since around 12 years old. I’ve looked after pets of friends and neighbors, and I feel confident working with dogs of all sizes. I am comfortable with more anxious dogs as I have had one myself. I am also very experienced with cats, I have two at home! I know how hard it can be to leave your little ones even just for the day, especially if they lean on the anxious side, but I hope that I can provide a gentle and loving presence for your babies. Finding reliable pet care can be stressful which is why I value transparency and clear communication. I will provide updates at every visit, and I will do my best to answer any questions you have as soon as possible. Your pet's safety and wellbeing is my main priority. Looking forward to talking with you! I am currently a part-time student working on getting into nursing school. I am completely free Monday, Wednesday, Friday and most weekends. I am flexible when it comes to schedules, and I would love to communicate with owners to set something up more long term. I could do daily walks, and I can do daily drop-in visits as well. I don't have space to house dogs at my house currently because I have two cats at home.

About: I have had several pets at any given time for the last ten years. I know how to care for mostly any critter you have, and have had lots of experience! Currently we have 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and a parakeet at my house. However, I’ve also owned a cat, fish, multiple hamsters, and even a bunny at one point. It’s safe to say I’ve learned a thing or two about being a pet owner in my time, but I’m also totally open to learning how to care for pets I don’t know too much about! I’m very much aware how much work it is to care for small animals like rodents, as I’ve had at least one since my 7th birthday :) Little guys such as guinea pigs, bunnies, rats, and hamsters have such special places in my heart, they’re just so cute! I also love dogs a lot. Honestly, all animals are pretty cool. I’m currently in college while also working part time. However, in my free time I’m available for whatever you need me for! Anytime after 3 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends I’m at your dog walking needs. Anytime on weekends work for both dog walking and pet sitting. I love pets a lot and adore how bright their individual personalities shine! I like playing games with them such as fetch, or taking them on walks or to the park to run around. At my house I like laying around with my dogs all around me watching TV, so if that’s something your pet enjoys too, we’ll get along just fine ;)

About: Hi, I'm Nyah! I've been providing pet care since I was 14 and have experience with a wide range of animals and breeds. I've worked with everything from Cane Corsos and Great Danes to Chihuahuas, doodles, and many breeds in between. Beyond dogs, I also have hands on experience caring for cats, horses, rabbits, chickens and birds, fish, and reptiles. I'm comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, feeding routines, medications, and daily care needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and loving care while making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, scaled, or hoofed) family members! I currently work full time, but my hours are flexible and vary on the day. For the most part, I can adjust my work schedule (with enough time in advance) to fit in per clients. When it comes to clients pets, I like to keep them on the routine they are used to as much as I can. So I like having clear laid out instructions(or notes) as to their normal routine, that way the animal has familiarity and they’re significantly less stressed. I try to follow as close to a T as I can to instructions for both the pet and owners sake.

About: Hi! My name is Kimya, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I volunteer at shelters and I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, from small to large breeds as well as bully breeds. I understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that goes into providing excellent care. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience consists of volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience has helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or misunderstood dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. Over the years, I have also gained experience caring for dogs with medical and behavioral needs. While I am not a veterinarian, I am attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestive health, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to notice when something isn’t quite right and communicate with owners promptly. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar schedule, or simply having company while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and understand the trust that comes with leaving a pet with someone else. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands. I am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on the dates needed. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules you have in place. I have a fenced yard and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and routine so I can provide individualized care.

About: Hi I’m Kaeli, your pet’s new best friend! Thank you for stopping by. I’ve grown up with small pets and dogs and have 5 years of professional animal care experience working at an animal shelter. I’ve been petsitting professionally for about 2 years and love the relationships with families I’ve built. I’ve taken care of and fostered puppies, kittens, senior dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits… you name it! I am comfortable with pretty much anything with or without legs! 🙂 I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your family’s schedule and pet routines. Whatever you need, just ask! We can figure it out. My own household is a brat pack of rescues—2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 rabbits. They are spoiled… Some would say too spoiled 😆 While I’m not home with them, my husband holds down the fort. I’m confident your pets will feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I treat them like they’re my nieces and nephews. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to see if we would be a good fit.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My dad was a dog trainer, although I am not super specialized or advanced in my training techniques - I firmly believing in training, queues, patience and love rather than control. I will care for your babies like they are my own. I have experience dealing with shy/anxious pets to friendly/high energy. I make an effort to go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of and safe <3 Open to meet ups first or chatting on the phone to get acquainted and ensure alignment. I do a lot of free-lance, part-time work and do not do much most weekends, so I will have a lot of time to provide care and walks throughout the day. I am a very active person so I do not have trouble keeping up and staying moving. Open to recurring scheduling for the next 4 weeks. I have a fenced yard, garage area, and plenty of open space for fur babies to run around. I know a good amount of walking routes as well. I am open to coming into your space, and making sure the pet is feeling comfortable and at home. Dog-walking is my speciality, and I will do my best to ensure the best care is provided, as well as ensuring appropriate leash behavior! For pet-sitting, my greatest focus is ensuring enough walks and movement and interaction throughout the day.

About: I have had dogs (and cats) my entire life. Trained, love and traveled across the US with my animals in tow with me. We currently have two dogs, Ozzy & Bear. I am retired and love to garden, travel and play with our dogs! We moved back to the Sacramento Area recently and would like to do something fun and thought pet sitting would fit perfect. No pet sitting at our house. Animals need to be in their own environment where it is safe and they are comfortable with their own toys & bed.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gold River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gold River is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 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 3,832 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gold River. 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 Gold River. 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 Gold River 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 Gold River. 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.
