“Clare did an awesome job taking care of my dog while I was out of town for several days. She really knows what she's doing and is very reliable. I'm so glad that I found someone I can depend on to take care of my pup. Thank you Clare!”
“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!!!”
“JOSH was great to work with. He was very prompt and also very flexible if a time needed to change on occasion. He and my dog, Shiloh, seem to bond quite well over the weeks that I needed JOSH‘s walking services. I highly recommend JOSH for taking care of your pet, without reservation.”
“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.”
“Travis is wonderful - he kindly met me before regular walks started so that I felt comfortable giving him keys & he could meet my dog Charlie. He has been super reliable, takes photos & gives excellent, thorough updates. It’s wonderful to know Charlie is in such good hands. Thank you Travis!”
“I'm a type A worry wart when it comes to my furry family members. I am so very thankful that Kayla was able to help us navigate a last minute request to look in on my dog and cat. Kayla was super sweet with both our dog and cat (our dog was super sad to have them only for visits!) and we are so thankful for their help!”
About: I am a lifetime animal lover, pet owner and pet shelter volunteer. I have a lot of experience with pets with behavior problems and/or reactivity. My best self comes out around pets. I already love yours. I am a 'stay-at-home' mom so all my tasks are flexible. I am available for dog walking and cat/dog/other check-ins. I have a fenced yard but will not be doing Rover dog visits at my home. If requested, I would love to take your dog on field trips like the park, beach or a hike
About: I was raised on a farm and have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and pets of all ages. I am currently working full-time from home. I am able to provide company all day and/or leave at most times to take a furry friend on a walk. Since I work from home I am able to spend the majority of my day with pets as my schedule usually allows me to have a lot of flexibility.
“Very nice guy, both to humans and dogs🐶. My dogs love him and would fight for his attention. I came home from my trip and all 3 of them are happy and healthy . He followed instructions carefully and handle each of them with care. Will definitely book again !”
About: Your dog is as much an individual as you are and we are here to help your puppies to have exactly the experience that they need. I am a life long dog lover and have had many dogs over the years (work travel prevents me from ownership right now). Over the years my household (me, adult son, grand daughter (6)) have adopted or fostered a wide variety of dogs from a puppy to be trained and moved on to forever home to senior dogs who ultimately ended up with their forever home right here. I am excellent at giving medication (was a LPN for humans), long walks that I enjoy as much as the dog, and am open to any dog related service your dog may need. I will always treat your dog like the wonderful individual they are. I am open to any size dog and ANY breed (I have great relationships with pit bulls, Chihuahua's, and other high difficulty breads) All dogs must have flee control and be up on vaccinations (and licensed). I was reading the Rover information for customers and it said you should ask about how much cuddle time, playtime, and walks cost. Your pet will get all the cuddles, walks, and playtime they can stand for free. I do this because everybody in my house loves dogs and want to make new furry friends. Feel free to contact me with any questions I am a work from home writer, artist, photographer, and journalist, so I have lots of open time. I do travel for work in the summer months which does leave some days completely unavailable, but otherwise ready to walk from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. There is no other way to say it, I love dogs and will treat your dog with more respect than most humans receive. The walks will be well planned and any care will be exactly what you requested.
About: Hello! What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal attention and genuine care I give to every dog. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every dog the same. I am reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I make sure pet parents feel confident knowing their dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home when they are with me. Experience: I have always had at least 2-3 dogs. I have done some training with my first dogs and have volunteered at multiple shelters (most time spent taking care of newborn puppies)! I also house-sit for multiple families and friends. I am flexible on time and love all dogs! Excited to take care of your doggies! I am working Thursday- Sunday but can do after 5 on those days. Other than that I am open to anytime. Early morning, easy afternoon, or evenings! I will ask for things your pet needs if there is any special instructions! I will test your pets as if they were mine. I will make sure they gets lots of attention and whatever is asked of the owners!
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. I have 3 elderly cats that I have had since 1st grade. I have cared for my family’s dogs and cats. I have a lot of experience with cats and even stray kittens. I’ve also taken care of big sassy energetic dogs who I have all cared for. I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule and with time to spare. I love spending time with animals and providing them with a safe and comfortable experience. I listen attentively to owners instructions on how to care for their pet as no pet and environment is the same. I will follow up with questions if anything comes up or is not clear.
“I had a great experience working with Darian. He walked my pooch for a full week while I was busy in meetings and couldn't walk him myself like we normally do. My buddy boy was happy and tired after a good strenuous walk (which he needs and loves!) and Darian even set his food dish down for me after the walk so he could have his breakfast. Thank you Darian, looking forward to the next time!”
About: Hi there, I’m Ellyn and I can’t wait to meet you and your dog. I provide fun, energetic, and personalized care for your four legged friend--so you don’t have to worry while you’re away. When your dog is with me, they’re a part of my extended family, and I promise to treat them just like you do. I do this full time so I can be there for your dog 24/7. I know how hard it is to leave your pup behind, and I pride myself on my clear communication skills--you’ll always know how your dog is doing. Life is busy with work, errands, and family, so let me take care of your best friend while you accomplish your goals. You can be comfortable knowing that your dog is too. Please reach out to me with the details about your pet so I can provide the exact same kind of care you do. I’d love to set up a meet and greet!
About: Hi! I’m a graduate student in Animal Behavior & Welfare working on my thesis in wildlife detection dogs from home. I’ve worked with dogs & cats for 10 years and have trained dogs for 8, including service dogs through a professional nonprofit organization. I have raised countless puppies in this time, so I can certainly help properly socialize your puppy so they can grow up to be the best version of themself. I also compete in dog sports for fun with my dogs, two working line German shepherds and one husky mix. So I’m well equipped to care for dogs that are… “a lot!” I’m on my way to becoming an Applied Animal Behaviorist and have finished all my coursework in behavior with a 4.0 GPA, so when your pets come with me, they’ll benefit from my extensive knowledge on understanding behavior and maximizing welfare. My prices might be a little higher than others, but I promise it will be worth it for the level of care & expertise I provide! I’m home full time as I finish my thesis remotely. The animals I care for come first, whether it be early morning potty breaks or afternoon activities. My schedule is flexible and I have ample time to give your pets the attention they need, while also giving them quiet time to rest in a private space. When pets stay with me, they have their own spare bedroom to sleep in. They can have a crate in there, or stay loose in the room and sleep on the bed. We have a small yard, so I opt to take dogs out 4 times a day to potty in a small park right outside my front door. We can play here too! A lot of dogs like to sunbathe in our yard, including my own. I have three dogs who all have different preferences in their dog friends, so it’s likely your dog will find a best friend here. Or, if your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, that’s no problem either. They can hang out with just me! I always use long lines and either harnesses or safely fitted collars to walk dogs, so they can have maximum freedom to express themselves while also staying safe and comfortable.
About: I've adopted many cats over the years, and have turned a feral cat into one of the sweetest indoor cats. I have had a few years experience volunteering in an animal shelter, taking care of dogs and cats. I love all dogs and cats and will care for your pets as if they're my own children. I work full-time, but have joined Rover because I really love dogs and cats. I am available all day Saturday and morning and early afternoon Sunday, When I take care of your pet, you can rest assured that your dog or cat is in good hands and will be treated with love.

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 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 a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
