“Cindy is fantastic! She met with me and my dog Ivy today and did an incredible job. Ivy is an 80lb puller, but Cindy handled her beautifully. She’s professional, kind, and seems to be great with large breeds. We only need occasional help and I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future! Since I was on the walk with them, she didn't send any photos but we did communicate about how the walk and interaction went overall.”

About: Follow Us on Instagram: baileys_buddies Our family has over 15 years of experience caring for pets. In addition to dog boarding in our home, I offer house sitting and drop-in visits (for cats and dogs), and dog walking. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s). You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting in your home while continuing my workday. When pets stay in my home, they receive attentive, round-the-clock care with frequent opportunities to go outside. We have a dog door for pets who are comfortable using one, and I’m always happy to take dogs out regularly if they’re not familiar with it. For dog boarding in our home, we have a pet-friendly backyard with plenty of space to roam, play, or relax on our covered patio in the shade. The yard is double-gated, providing a secure and safe environment for your pups to enjoy. When caring for pets in your home, I’m always respectful, attentive, and conscientious about following pet parents’ instructions and safety preferences to ensure their pets feel comfortable and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly.

What we loved most was how happy our dogs were with her - they clearly adored her right away - and she kept us updated with plenty of great photos throughout the walk.

About: Hi! I'm new to Rover, however, I've loved animals all my life. And I understand how important it is to ensure your fur baby is cared for ❤️ I have my own pup, Cloud (my goober bear) and fish at home. My family also has cats, so I’m very familiar with all kinds of personalities. I’ve also volunteered at a horse ranch and helped care for chickens, and one day I’d love to have my own little farm + animal sanctuary 🐾 My biggest priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible like you never left. I really take the time to understand what matters most to you and your pet, so I can mirror that same love, energy, and care while you’re away. I’m very active, mindful, and intuitive (I’m also a yoga teacher), which helps me tune into animals and their nonverbal cues. Whether your pet wants playtime and adventures, or calm energy and space, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’ll treat your pet like my own with so much love, presence, and care 🐾❤️ With a flexible, part-time schedule as a yoga instructor, I’m able to offer consistent, attentive care and be fully present with your pet. I prioritize quality time, routine, and making sure they feel safe and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment, follow routines closely, and ensure fresh food, water, and care at all times. I’m mindful, reliable, and treat your pet (and home) like my own

About: As an avid animal-lover, I've cared for both dogs and cats professionally and personally for the majority of my life. In my book, every animal is deserving of the highest standard of care, be it young or old, large or small. I have experience matching the energy of young puppies eager to explore the world for the first time alongside the patience and gentleness required to care for their seniors. I'm currently a community college student, so outside of classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and family time Sunday evenings, my availability is open to all of your pet care needs! My #1 priority with any animal is to establish what kind of interaction they enjoy, as every dog or cat is different. If your pet wants constant play while I'm hanging out with them in your home, I'm more than happy to provide, just as much as I am happy to be a chill buddy for those who prefer to relax. Attentiveness is key!

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over seven years, and I’ve been caring for pups through Rover for nearly four years. Every moment spent with dogs has been incredibly rewarding, and I truly cherish the love, laughter, and silly personalities they bring into my life. I’m currently a proud dog parent to two amazing pups, Luffy and Bei Bei. They’re both perfect in their own goofy little ways, and they’ve taught me that every dog has their own unique personality worth celebrating. When your furry friend stays with me, they become part of the family. I care for every dog in my home as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and a safe, comfortable environment to relax in. I’d be honored to care for your pup and make sure they feel happy, loved, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾 My daily routine revolves around my dogs. I start the day by waking up at 8 am and taking them to either the back or front yard for their morning potty break. Spending around 30 minutes on basic training follows, reinforcing commands to ensure they stay sharp. In the morning, I focus on work until around noon, when I feed them their first meal. After their meal, it's time for another potty break, and they usually nap for 1 to 2 hours. Once they're up, we embark on a 30 to 45-minute walk. Post-walk, they take another short nap. Around 6 pm, they enjoy their dinner, and I let them out for another potty session. It's amusing to see them stand around, watching me as I prepare dinner. Around 10 pm, I give my boys one more potty break before they settle in for the night. In my pet-sitting service, ensuring the safety, building trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets are my top priorities. To guarantee their safety, I conduct a thorough assessment of the home environment, identifying and mitigating any potential hazards. I have established routines and preferences, whether it's meal times, play sessions, or specific walking routes. I also ensure a clean and comfortable living space, providing a familiar and stress-free atmosphere for the pets in my home

About: I've cared for my own dog for 13 years, from puppy through senior, so I understand routines, meds, and patience. I'm active, love long walks, and send photos after every visit. My schedule is flexible right now, so I'm available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, midday walks, and evenings. Last-minute requests are welcome; just send a message and I'll respond quickly. I follow your routine exactly: feeding, meds, and house rules. Dogs stay leashed on walks, doors stay locked, and I check in with photos and updates so you always know your pup is safe.

About: Hi! My name is Tim, and I’ve always had a strong love for dogs and the outdoors. I currently own and care for Kali, my energetic Belgian Malinois/Rottweiler mix. Raising and training a large, high-energy breed has given me hands-on experience with daily exercise, leash handling, basic obedience, socialization, and providing consistent structure and care. Because of Kali’s energy level, I’m comfortable walking active dogs that need both physical exercise and attention. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and reading a dog’s body language to help ensure a positive experience on every walk. I’m reliable, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes. Whether your dog prefers a long adventure, a neighborhood stroll, or extra attention and playtime, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own dog. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! If dogs could text, mine would probably spend all day asking, “Walk now?” If your pup feels the same way, I’d be happy to help! I’m primarily available on weekdays and love making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and tail-wagging fun while their owners are away. Weekend availability is sometimes possible too—just ask! 🐾 I treat every dog as if they were my own. Safety and trust come first, and I take pride in creating a positive environment where dogs feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. As an active dog owner with experience handling energetic large breeds, I understand how important exercise, attention, and consistency are. You can count on me to provide safe walks, reliable care, and plenty of love while keeping your dog’s well-being my top priority.

About: Hello All, I have grown up with pets since when I can remember .At my home town we have around 15 cats and 2 dogs.. All were stray who are adopted, neutered and vaccinated. I have rescued numerous animals from road accidents, abuse which includes cats, dogs, birds, squirrels, cows and once cured helped them get adopted to forever homes. I even travelled abroad with animals of different owners to help them get adopted. Additionally, I have worked with multiple animal shelters back in my country and stood up for animal rights and animal cruelty. When I moved to Canada and the US, I took my pets along with me. I am able to administer inhaler to cats as my cat Leo has asthma for over 2 years now and I give it daily. I work from home & therefore available to support you and your fur babies anytime of the day, seven days a week! I am a new driver therefore currently only taking requests within 5 miles and avoiding highways. I have 2 pet cats at my home. I can accommodate additional pets (cats and small dogs) but would prefer to accommodate only 1 pet at a time. Both my cats are neutured/spayed, all vaccinations are updated. One of my cat is very shy and mostly lives in our bedroom. The other one is very social and would love to play with a new member. One of my pet has asthma and needs inhaler twice a day. My cats are always roaming free at home but I like to keep them inside so I ensure my house is always locked.

Rachel was fantastic with our enthusiastic hound dog during our last getaway, so we booked her again for dog walks while we were out of town over the long weekend. Unfortunately, our pup developed an unexpected stomach issue the day we left. Rachel was extremely communicative and kindly worked with us as we assessed our dog's health and recovery. She was patient, flexible, and incredibly helpful—we were ultimately able to continue our vacation plans knowing that our dog was in great hands. We look forward to requesting Rachel’s help again during our next trip, and our dog does too!

This is my first time ever hiring dog walkers, and while I was always open to the idea, I was a little hesitant at first. Willow and Tingting have completely exceeded my expectations.

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 of October 2026, there are 5,620 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alamitos. 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 Alamitos. 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 Alamitos 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 Alamitos. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
