“5 Stars!!! Cameron made my vacation worry free by taking care for my German Shephard for 4 weeks. Cameron absolutely the Best. We will book Cameron again and will recommend to our friends. His service greatly appreciated.”

About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life, own and train horses, and volunteer in local shelters! I've been coined an animal whisperer... pets always seem to gravitate towards me! Great with pets of all ages and training level. Currently going to school, but have a fairly open schedule so I am flexible! Mornings and evenings are generally more open but can often arrange mid-day as well. I am very flexible when it comes to the care of your pets in your home! Whether they have a backyard to play in, need to be walked, fed, or crated, your animals' care and safety is my top priority.

Safety is key in my mind while I am caring for someone’s furry family member.
“Adrienne was amazing with Nyx. She was on time for picking up Nyx and walked her for an extra 15 minutes. Nyx got all her zoomies out and was an absolutely happy calm pup when she got home. Adrienne sent pictures and logged all Nyx’s bathroom breaks. I would highly recommend Adrienne for all your pet’s needs! 12/10!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with 2-3 larvae dogs and a cat always in the house. I’m comfortable with any size dog, any energy level, and any age. My schedule is very flexible. I work part time mainly short shifts and I am coming up on summer break so my schedule is very open! I will give your pet the most attention and affection while attending to their well-being. I will follow all the care instructions given in order to provide the best experience for your pet!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm really passionate about making sure they get the best care possible. I currently have a dog, a ball python, and a betta fish, and I've grown up caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, reptiles, and fish.I also volunteered with The Feline Network of the Central Coast, where I fostered and socialized homeless kittens. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's individual needs, and if you have an animal I haven't worked with before, I'm always excited to learn!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have a 13 year old dog named Sammy and a 7 year old dog named Martin in Colombia. Being around dogs has taught me a lot about different personalities, routines, and the care they need at different stages of life. I also help care for my friends’ dog, Perry, when they travel, so I have experience with daily routines, giving medication when needed, monitoring feeding and weight, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe. I understand that every dog is different, and I would treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is flexible and I make time for pet care throughout my week. I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while keeping owners updated along the way. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I always follow the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication schedules if needed, and any specific care requests from owners. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
About: I used to foster dogs and volunteer at the dog shelter in Bakersfield, CA. I love meeting new dogs and would love to meet yours! I currently have a full-time job. I work from home mainly so I’ll have plenty of time to check up on your dog and to do dog walking. I can care for your pet by keeping them company and providing enrichment. If your dog loves walks, I’d be happy to take them on a walk around the neighborhood.
“Riley made my first experience with rover.com a great one. She was able to fit me in on short notice. She quickly covered excellent pertinent questions then set off to explore my hilly neighborhood. She gave me a useful report on her return (I’m a new dog parent just adopted) and clearly worked hard at giving my dog some good exercise. Thanks Riley!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Avila Beach on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of July 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 .

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 Avila Beach. 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 Avila Beach.

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 Avila Beach. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
