About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since childhood, and I also have hands‑on experience working with dogs in a shelter environment. I’m continually improving my skills as a handler and I’m comfortable supporting animals with different temperaments and needs. I pay close attention to medication requirements and administration to ensure everything is done safely and on schedule. I genuinely love animals and treat them with the same level of importance and care that I give to family. I am going to be working part-time and will have fairly open availability. Please reach out and I will do my very best to accommodate your needs. I will always ensure that the backyard does not have any holes in the fence or areas of concern before the pet has access to the outdoors in order to ensure safety and security. I feel using a leash is extremely important, especially when developing trust with a new pet. I'm not comfortable with taking pets to dog parks, unless this is a regularly scheduled event for your pet and they are comfortable around strangers and other pets. I truly would treat your pet(s) as my own and I am protective over my pupper, so yours would be in great hands!

About: I’ve grown up with (and pet sat) tons of different animals! I can work with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it! Cool with feeding, watering, potty breaks, administering medicines, cleaning, etc. I’ve been doing dog training for about two years now, and am comfortable working with fearful/reactive animals too. Tons of experience across all fields! I’m a part-time college student with a lot of time on my hands! I think pets deserve all the love and attention I can provide for them, and I’m happy to do just that. Following routines is my jam! Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, just let me know what you and your furry friends prefer and I’m happy to follow your lead!

About: I grew up on a farm, animals galore. I was always with the animals, they are incredible companions, as well as teachers. I have been on the birthing end of Dogs, Birds, Fish, Turtles Horses, Cows and sheep. Unfortunately I have been on the departure side as well. My love of animals is only second to my love of Life. When your pets are under my care, rest assured that I will act as an extension of you. I also have a very extensive medical education, no not vetinary, but this is the one time I am glad they can't talk. People give way to much information, where as animal will give you indications as to the possible problems. It has been my experience that diet is usually the culprit, but not always. Thanks from one Animal Lover to their Owners. half of the question is blocked so I am not sure what I am describing? i think its asking how does pet care fit into my schedule. it's part of the job. make sure all exits are secure, and that water and food are available, for cats, I would check their box for clumps. Any other critters would be treated according to there familial traits.

About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

About: Hi! My name is Graysen and I’m a Sacramento native living in the North Sacramento area. I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience with animals with anxiety and medication needs. I’ve cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs and can handle a range of active levels. Animals have always been part of the family and I love getting to know their different personalities and quirks. I’m an active person and would love to take your dog out on walks, or we can be couch potatoes too! I own a business and have a flexible work schedule, so I would love to do something to fill up some of the time I have at home. I currently can move things around to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening bookings, so just let me know what you need! I cannot currently offer services at home unfortunately due to the animals I already have. However I can definitely do house visits, walks, or overnight stays at your place. I’d love to know your dogs schedule for feeding, walks, etc so I can be consistent with your animal’s needs!

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits etc. I believe animals come into our lives to make it better and to give us unconditional love. I have trained all my puppies as well as cared for my parents elderly Bullmastiff. I am very sensitive to the needs of pets and can feel when something is wrong. My schedule is open Monday - Sunday, I am a stay at home fur mom and I can not wait to meet your fur baby. All of my cats and dogs are indoor. I believe that is the safest way to keep them healthy and protected. However, if your fur baby is outside I will make sure all gates, doors are closed, locked and secure!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 6 years and have worked with a wide variety of breeds with different personalities from family and friends! I’m always going the extra mile in learning more about a certain breed I’m unfamiliar with by doing extensive research on them and taking the time to work with the owner to understand their dog’s characteristics. I’m currently working hybrid as an Engineer and am available to walk your dogs and even check in on them Wednesday-Sundays anytime to accommodate your dog’s needs! I always treat my dog with the utmost respect and she always responds with the same respect right back. I’m always rewarding dogs for commands whether it be treats or positive reinforcement and I’m always portraying a positive and vibrant attitude towards them. When going on walks, I make sure to pay extra close attention to our surroundings and the dog’s body language. If they’re aloof and not responding to commands, I try to always stay calm, patient, persistence and reinforce positive behavior with treats or verbal praise towards them. While every dog is different, I try to adapt and be flexible with every dog’s needs and I try to stay consistent with my commands and behaviors depending on the owner’s requirements.

About: Not only have I grown up with large dogs for the past 23 years, but I have also consistently pet sat for families in need of a loving and reliable sitter. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see, so caring for furry friends is something that comes naturally to me! I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Although I do not train animals, I do have experience in providing oral medication as well as walks, feeding, and love! I’m currently in a transition period and taking a gap year, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting! While my schedule varies, I have a very open and adaptable availability and can often accommodate different scheduling needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for according to your instructions. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own!

About: I have been taking care of pets through Rover since October 2023. Before that I took care of many dogs, cats, and other animals too as I grew up. I specialize in giving medications, playing with energetic pets and being a calm presence for anxious ones. I have open availability, besides fully booked days and a few personal commitments here and there. I try my best to help as many pet parents as I can. While in a client’s home, I treat the house with respect and pets as if they were my own. When given a schedule or routine, it will be followed precisely. I guarantee that I will provide a safe and stimulating environment for your pets

About: I have hands‑on experience caring for pets of all personalities, and I’m especially good with shy or sensitive animals who need extra patience. I read body language well, move gently, and create a calm environment where pets feel safe and understood. I follow routines carefully, handle feeding and litter/crate care confidently, and tailor my approach to each pet’s emotional needs. I also send clear updates and sweet photos so you always feel connected to your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, loving, princess‑level care that keeps every animal comfortable and every owner at ease. I work best with fast-paced short shifts, I prefer flexible work and thrive independently. And pet care fits right into that for me. Also I love animals more than people. I care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, safe, and completely at ease whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and cozy environment where pets can relax, explore, and feel secure. I follow their routines closely, offer gentle companionship, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and quiet comfort. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their pet’s normal schedule, and keep everything consistent so the animal feels safe and stress‑free. I move softly, communicate clearly, and tailor my care to each pet’s personality. My goal is always the same: to make every pet feel like royalty and every owner feel completely confident while they’re away.

About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, WELL-TRAINED SMALL PUPS. As a cat sitter first and foremost, I only accept ONE dog PER booking to ensure I can provide the best possible care and attention. Though I'm newer to dog care, I'm patient, attentive, and eager to provide a safe, calm environment for dogs who are easygoing and enjoy a relaxed routine. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. My heart is with cats, but I'm always happy to give well-mannered dogs the love and attention they deserve too! I'm currently open and have a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first. Because I may be caring for other pets throughout the day, I can't always guarantee an exact visit time. If your requested time is already booked, I'll reach out as soon as possible to see if there's a nearby time that works for you. If your pet needs medication or has a strict schedule, please let me know in your booking request so I can make sure I can accommodate their needs. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Rio Linda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Rio Linda is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 October 2026, there are 3,817 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rio Linda. 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 Rio Linda. 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 , 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 Rio Linda 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Linda. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
