Dawn was absolutely amazing with my girls. They took to her immediately during our meet and greet and loved being with her. I truly enjoyed the pictures and video updates and especially love how my cat took to her also. I will definitely check to see if she is available for any time that I will be traveling and in need of help. Thank you so much Dawn! XOXO Enzi and Annie 💜

Omar is consistently great. He's very attentive and responsive to our pups and our requests. We often have last minute requests, and Omar is usually very prompt in responding, often affirmatively. Recently, our dog was sick after his walk and Omar took the time to comfort him and clean up after him. It was a very kind gesture that speaks volumes to how he cares for your pets.

About: I am a lifelong lover and owner of pets with over 25 years of experience. Having had companions, including several dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a rabbit, I have a knack and love for caring for and playing with animals. I am a current fur dad as well to an Australian Shepherd and a rambunctious little Seal Point Bengal. By the way, if your dog isn’t prey driven, I don’t mind rollerblading them and helping them to get some exercise if that is an option! All of what I make here by the way is going towards my MBA degree at USC and continuous veterinary bills for my dog with prescriptions and dietary restrictions. Pet care occupies my time outside of my day job and it gives me an excuse to get outside, provides possibilities of having some company and socialization for my dog (she does especially well with puppies), and other opportunities to get out and be the excitement in or exercise opportunity for a fur baby or fur babies outside of my own. I usually give the animal space and time to feel me out, as well as the environment if they are in my home. I know that not all animals warm up right away and that it may take several visits for the animal to become comfortable with me - I am patient and perfectly fine with this.

About: I bring over 5 years of dependable, hands on experience with a wide range of pets, from tiny 15 pound pups to 150 pound gentle giants. I’ve cared for senior dogs and cats who needed medication, as well as more exotic animals like birds. Whether it’s a quick visit or a month long stay in my home or yours, I treat each pet like family. I’ve built lasting relationships with many of my clients, some since I first started, and I’m happy to provide references from another caregiver platform where I have multiple reviews. I’m also flexible with rates and happy to work with your budget. My schedule is very flexible, this is all I want to do and I’m free 7 days a week, which allows me to be highly responsive and available for your pet’s needs. I have my own reliable transportation and I am happy to make longer trips if needed. I respond to messages promptly, always keep pet parents updated, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. It will never feel like a chore, and I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I’ve provided in home care for multiple pets over several weeks at a time and always make sure to respect the space, keep it tidy, and send regular updates. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize comfort, safety, and peace of mind for both pets and their people.

Sierra was an awesome dog walker for my four-year-old golden retriever! She was super kind, reliable, and clearly great with dogs. She made sure he got his walks, was fed, and got plenty of attention and care. I really appreciated how easy she was to communicate with and how comfortable she made me feel leaving my pup in her hands. My golden came back happy and relaxed every time. I’d definitely recommend Sierra to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker. Thanks so much for taking such great care of my puppy!

About: Hello, I’m Janice! I’ve always loved animals and originally joined Rover to care for dogs. Since then, my husband and I adopted our own cat, Chia, and I took a little break from Rover to focus on being a new cat parent and enjoying time with her. Now, I’d love to get back to caring for other people’s pets! Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, some playtime and attention, a walk, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat every pet with patience, care, and plenty of attention, while taking the time to understand their individual personality and needs. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I work remotely with typical hours of 9–5, so I have some flexibility to pop over during the workday for a drop-in or check-in if needed. I’m also happy to visit before or after work during the week. Weekends are generally flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m respectful of your home and will treat your space with the same care I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s routine, feeding, medications, and other needs are taken care of as requested. I’m also attentive to doors, gates, and other potential safety concerns so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable and secure. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and preferences and give them the right balance of attention, play, and space.

About: I’m not just a sitter. I’m a dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. From puppyhood to senior pups, I have a lot of experience tailoring my care according to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort zone.Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or couch snuggles, I focus on creating routines that keep dogs engaged, healthy, and stress free. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping dogs with separation anxiety, minor reactivity, and special medical needs (limited to administering oral and injectable medications). Open communication with pet parents is a priority for me. I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing. In order to dedicate myself completely to your pet’s care, play, and comfort, I only accept one dog at a time. However, for everyone’s comfort, I request that visiting pups get along with other dogs since my own dog, Bentley, will be part of their visit. As a full-time homemaker and dog mom, I am home all day and able to provide consistent, attentive care. Your dog will have my full attention for walks, playtime, rest, and anything else they need throughout the day. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I love taking dogs to trails and parks nearby for exercise, fun, and potty breaks. They can relax in a crate or snuggle with me on the couch/bed. Fresh filtered water is always available and treats are given as allowed.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of pet care experience. Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I love sharing the fun we’re having, so I will keep you updated with frequent messages and photos of your furbaby's wellbeing throughout their stay. You'll never have to wonder how they're doing! As a software engineer with a flexible remote schedule, I only go into the office two days a week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furbaby. I guarantee three walks a day and love taking your furbaby to the nearby dog park for exercise and socialization. Whether I'm working from home or off for the weekend, your furbaby will be a central part of my daily routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for your furbaby, I maintain a highly supervised environment and strictly follow your established feeding, exercise, and medication routines.

About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, and providing daily companionship. I grew up with a dog who lived a very long and happy life, and I was often responsible for taking her on walks and bringing her to grooming appointments. She was very afraid of water and would get anxious before baths, so I learned how to calmly comfort and distract her to reduce her stress. Because of this experience, I’m very patient with animals and attentive to their emotions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I make time in the morning and evening for feeding, walks, and playtime. Throughout the day, I also enjoy checking in on pets to make sure they feel comfortable and have companionship. I’m attentive to their routines and try to keep their schedule consistent so they feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I always try to follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get regular walks and playtime. I also enjoy spending time with pets so they feel less lonely when their owners are away. I grew up caring for a family dog, so I understand that every pet has a different personality. For example, my dog was very afraid of water and grooming, so I learned how to calmly comfort and distract her to reduce stress. Because of that experience, I’m patient and attentive to pets’ emotions. When staying in a client’s home, I always respect their space and carefully follow all instructions to ensure their pets receive the same care they would normally get.

About: I grew up with many dogs in Northern Minnesota, where I helped my grandma train sled dogs and participate in dog shows. Through that experience, I learned how to care for, train, and understand dogs with different personalities and needs. I am capable of handling all types and sizes of dogs, and would love to help you out! Currently looking for a job, so I’m available every day of the week from 8am-4pm! More than happy to drive to you to give your pup ample exercise. I am very watchful of my surroundings while out with dogs on walks. I am also fairly experienced in reading behavior. I treat every dog like my own and am always looking out for them first.

I cannot recommend Susan highly enough! I needed a last-minute dog walker on the exact same day due to an unexpected injury, and she stepped up without hesitation. My dog is incredibly anxious, especially around other dogs so I am always nervous leaving him with someone new. She meticulously followed every single instruction I left and gave him the exact specialized care and patience he needed. She even spent extra time on their walks just to snuggle and comfort him. The updates she sent were phenomenal. She went completely above and beyond by sending photos, videos, and even detailed tracking (including potty updates!), which gave me total peace of mind while I was laid up. After every walk, my dog came back perfectly tired out and would nap peacefully for hours. Now that I’ve recovered and am back to walking him myself, my pooch clearly misses her! If you are looking for a walker who is reliable, incredibly attentive, and genuinely loves animals, look no further. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Alviso

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Alviso on Rover is $23.54 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,238 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alviso. 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 Alviso. 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 Alviso.

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 Alviso. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
