I need a walker for my dog at the last minute and reached out to Yeji. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet the same day. I could tell my dog would be well taken care of with her. Yeji did all I asked and provided a very detailed Rover card which I appreciated. Thank you, Yeji!

We saw a noticeable improvement in our dogs’ behavior after a short time being walked by Radhika. We are very sad to be moving out of the area and losing her as our regular dog walker. Cannot recommend her highly enough!!

I can't sing enough praise about Rachel. She's been walking my super shy and nervous chihuahua for a few months now. Rachel is extremely patient and understands dogs very well. My dog has gained alot of confidence after walking with Rachel so often. She's fantastic, don't hesitate to book her!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover. I currently have two 3-year-old dogs—a Great Dane and a Mini Goldendoodle—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I also rescued a Lhasa Apso 13 years ago and cared for him throughout his life until he passed away two years ago. That experience taught me a lot about patience, consistency and caring for a dog through every stage of life. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is to make every dog or cat feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while giving their owner peace of mind. For now, I’m available on weekends since I’m in school during the day. I may be able to help a few evenings during the week as well. I care for pets like they’re my own. I have a mini golden doodle and a Great Dane and am very good at taking care of all their needs. I will do the same for every pet I get to care for.

Shannon was fantastic! Needed my Dobie fed and walked for 2 days while I was away 6am - 8pm. After an initial meet & greet, I felt Shannon was right for the job and she exceeded expectations. In addition to providing the necessary poop & pee report, she added additional commentary and plenty of photos. Bianca seemed happy each night when I returned home. I will definitely use Shannon again when needed.

About: Hi! I'm Jon, I'm in my early 40s, and I live with my partner in a condo in Aliso Viejo, CA. (I would be the sole service provider) Until recently, my #1 hobby was spending time with my dog, Mae. I loved taking her out on nature trails and all kinds of adventures (in 2024, I even took Mae on a family road trip all the way up to Seattle and back!). After having her for 9 years in our home, I sadly lost my sweet girl in September 2025; she was about 13 years old and unfortunately had developed several unforeseen medical issues. There were a lot of long days and nights of administering medications and emergency vet visits until I made the hard decision to have her pass in comfort at home. I'm still healing from the loss: since I worked from home, Mae was my shadow all day, every day. I have used Rover for many years, but I'm easing into the other side of being a service provider. I'm not ready to get a new dog just yet, but I have a lot of love to give and I'm ready to care for your fur baby on a part-time basis. I'm currently job hunting, so my availability is close to 100% at the moment: I can sit in your home, do drop-in visits, or have your dog(s) stay with me. My condo is completely safe for dogs, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are some great walking routes as well as a dog park nearby. I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently job hunting, but have been working remotely for the past 13 years. Whatever new job I land will either be Remote or Hybrid. Weekdays are best, though I can occasionally care for your dog(s) on weekends as well. With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.

Here’s the tail-wagging deal: 🐶 Doggy Daycare & Overnight Stays: Your pup will be treated like family in our cozy, pet-friendly home. 🚶‍♀️ Daily Adventures: Finn and I hit the pavement twice daily (weather permitting, of course)—but we’re happy to adjust for your pup’s pace. 🌞 Sunbathing & Playtime: We’ve got a small backyard perfect for soaking up the sun and burning off zoomies. 🍖 Feeding & TLC: Whether it’s mealtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out, your pup will feel right at home.

I do offer a complimentary 5 min telepathy check-in for my clients to introduce myself to your fur baby. Just let me know if you would like me to include this before our meet up!

I work from home running our online business, so I am always here to provide constant care and attention. My own dog, Finn, is high-energy and loves making new furry friends, so we already have an active routine that includes daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I keep my calendar updated for availability and am typically open weekdays and most weekends. Your pup will fit right into our schedule and our goal is for your pup to feel like part of the family! In my home, dogs are treated like family and have the freedom to roam and relax as they please. My own dog, Finn, is a bit of a velcro dog and loves following us around, so I'm used to having pups by my side all day. We have a cozy, pet-friendly space with a backyard perfect for sunbathing, playtime, and potty breaks (we typically do AM and PM breaks but are happy to adjust to your pup’s schedule). While Finn isn’t crate trained, we want our home to feel like an extension of yours—just let us know your preferences, and we’ll do our best to accommodate!

Madison is beyond awesome! It’s clear she’s been around animals her whole life and can easily adapt to a particular dog’s needs. She adjusted to horrible construction conditions around our residence and my guy is very reactive to loud sounds. She knew when to encourage to push further and when to listen to “I want to go home.” She’s our go-to now!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Aliso Viejo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Aliso Viejo on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 8,468 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Aliso Viejo. 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 Aliso Viejo. 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 Aliso Viejo.

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 Aliso Viejo. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
