About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of love and attention. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week, including weekends. I take the time to follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of exercise, play, affection, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, and exercise needs before every visit. As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive patient, attentive, and loving care. I know how important it is to find someone dependable, attentive, and compassionate, and that’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide for every pet I meet.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised 5 dogs of my own—Money, Little Bro, Sugar, Latte, and my beloved senior pup Bear Bear, who was with us until the age of 18. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs, including overnight stays in my home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pup in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I also love capturing sweet, candid moments and sharing photos with pet parents so they can see how their pups are doing while they’re away. I recently stepped away from my full-time career and am enjoying having more flexibility in my schedule. This gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention, companionship, walks, and care they need. I’m generally available throughout the week and can work with your dog’s routine and schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and each dog’s individual routine and needs. I follow pet parents’ instructions carefully and treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and know your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

I booked Beverly for consecutive walks with my dog while I’m away at work and I am so glad I did! It was very apparent that Beverly was very knowledgeable with working with dogs. Beverly communicates really well before, during, and even after the walks! It really gave me peace of mind to know that my dog was in amazing hands! Would without a doubt re-book with Beverly again!

About: I've worked with all types of dogs from helping to train them for obedience to being a K9 Decoy for bite work. I don't mind walking any sized dog or any age for that matter. I also have experience and knowledge on what to look for when it comes to K9 health specially during the summertime and this heat. I work from home for the most part and my schedule does vary week to week but with proper communication and timing I can take the doggos out for a walk without any issues. My retired bomb dog and my active four paw work partner are both crated but their doors are open and have their beds in them. They have a room with AC and are never alone at home. They have individual water buckets and food trays. They go on daily walks with me when the weather is nice and cool to prevent overheating during summer times. Plenty or moving all day and lots of play time with me and each other on the weekends. They also enjoy their training time with some of the K9 Clubs I attend.

About: I’ve been a loving dog mom for the past 20 years. I’ve loved and cared for Mochi, our 19 yr old Shih Tzu who recently passed away. I’ve devoted myself to making sure Mochi lived a long and happy life, which he did! Now, with no pets and more free time on my hands, I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m currently retired and spend most of my time with my grandson. I would love to fit dog boarding into my flexible schedule as I am home a lot of the times. I spend most days with my 4 year old grandson, so the house is very much baby proofed. Dogs are like our children! I’m very mindful about keeping anything toxic or with chemicals on high shelves, toilet seat covers down, and trash bins covered.

About: I have owned chickens, cats, parakeets, and dogs in the past. Pets are my life. My boy Kenny (a Goldendoodle), whom I recently got, I consider my son. Because of my PTA program, I'm only available during the mornings on Mon/Wed/Thu. On all other days, I have open availability to stay as long as your pets need! While I cannot take pets to my own home, I can take care of pets in other settings so long as the owner is comfortable and aware of where I am with their pet.

About: Your dog’s home-away-from-home—where they feel safe and loved. I offer small-scale boarding (not a kennel). This is a great option for pet parents seeking a safer alternative to kennels. Training-informed, positive-reinforcement environment. Deep experience with rescue, reactive, separation anxiety and other special-needs dogs who require a calm home environment. Home atmosphere + constant human presence. My home is quiet with a front yard that feels like you're in a small forest. Good vibes all around. I'm truly an all-around dog lover, and I and have a passion for saving, fostering, and boarding if it means a happier life for a dog and his/her human. I've had a passion for caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I've rescued several dogs from a high-kill shelter and fostered them until we found a forever home. I currently work closely with a couple of dog rescues that help find fosters or adopters for high-energy dogs in overcrowded shelters, once they've gone through an evaluation stage and the necessary training. I have dog training knowledge, and I'm also trained in dog psychology. My goal is to work with service dogs and get them ready for their new human. I have experience working with extra large breeds as well as the cute, tiny ones. I also have experience with special need dogs who require medication, If you have a special needs dog, I have experience in: Oral medication administration Injected medication administration Senior dog experience Special needs dog experience I currently work part time from my home office and tend to my plants which allows me plenty of time to devote to your furry family member. I enjoy time at home, painting, reading, cooking, gardening, playing my congas or simply relaxing in front of the television.  I enjoy caring for pets as if they were my own, which means getting to know their personalities and what they like to do for fun. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. A possible daily routine: A morning walk or let them roam the yard (depends on the owners choice), followed by breakfast and some loving. Afternoon time consists of potty breaks and some play time in the yard or indoors and some afternoon treats for everyone before they nap. I have plenty of room for your pet to run around or just lounge. I don't have any pets (as I have been fostering) or children, and there's very little to nothing that your pet could get into. My house is secured and all the windowns and doors will remain secured while your pet is visiting. My yard has a five and a half foot fence and it's secured all the way around. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. If I'm pet sitting at your location, I will follow the list of do's and don't and will always treat your home with respect.

About: Hi! My name is Rosa 🌹I’ve been dog sitting for several years. I had a dog child, her name was Blanca. She was the most sassy husky I had ever met. She enjoyed running and staying active so I learned to enjoy it too. She was the reason I got up many times. Unfortunately she passed away December 2025. She taught me many many things and I’ll forever miss her for the rest of my life. I know she’d want me to continue being in other pets life too. That is why I’m continuing to dog sit and hang out with different breeds. To continue sharing my love and care even if my Blanca isn’t with me anymore. I like to run, walk, hike, and even just stay at home and have lazy days. I adapt to their routine very quickly. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior babies. If you have anymore questions please reach out and I’d be happy to chat more. I have a flexible schedule during the week. For example, check-ins or dog walking, I like to get my steps in and nothing better than having a furry friend to accompany me! Respecting my clients homes is my priority. I want to make sure your fur child is comfortable, safe and most importantly happy. I like to discuss their routine first and make sure I follow it that way the fur baby’s routine does not change and confuse them.

About: I have 20 years of experience in dog care and can take house and yard and can also walk the dog on time. I’ve been raising dogs for a while now. It’s a joyful experience filled with playful moments and challenges. Every day, I learn something new about their behavior and needs. They bring so much happiness and companionship into my life.

About: I have had a dog since my first memory up until 3 years ago we lost our 3rd family dog. I have 3 years of experience walking dogs and about a year of training experience at a doggy daycare. I understand what pets need and the care they deserve from everyday operation at the facility I work at. I acquired a B.S. in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona to strengthen my understanding of animal health and welfare. I’m currently working towards my trainers certification, which is done at home at my own pace. I have an empty and free schedule to dedicate all my time to giving your best friend a positive experience!!! I have a 10 foot high fence and 8 foot surrounding barriers. My yard can accommodate 5-6 large dogs for them to run around and play comfortably. I also take dogs on 15-30 minute walks giving them opportunities to sniff and explore their environment just like they were meant to!

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve owned multiple dogs and have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at once. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’ll be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. If you’re booking dog walking or drop-in visits, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by reliably and ensure your pet receives the care they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a townhome with a fully fenced private patio. My home is equipped with exterior security cameras, as well as an indoor camera that overlooks the main living area for added peace of mind. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood, and there’s also a large fenced park nearby for exercise and play. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that routine, and I also have a spare room available if they would benefit from having their own quiet space to relax.

Edith makes dog walking look so easy and fun. Bubs gets so excited to see her when she picks him up. He can be skittish from an attack from another dog when he was a puppy and now that he’s a senior Edith is so patient with him and he’s doing great because of that!

Entrusting your dogs to the right person makes all the difference, and she is someone you can count on completely. She is kind, dependable, and has a genuine passion for caring for animals. Whether it’s routine walks, outdoor adventures, or plenty of playtime, she always makes sure the dogs are well exercised, entertained, and happy. One of her greatest qualities is the way she connects with dogs so naturally. She has a calm and reassuring presence that helps dogs feel comfortable right away. It’s clear that she truly enjoys being around animals and takes pride in making sure they feel secure, cared for, and loved. She is also incredibly professional and easy to work with. She communicates well, shows up when expected, and consistently brings a positive attitude. My dog is always excited to see her, and I feel completely confident knowing they are receiving excellent care and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a trustworthy and compassionate person who will care for their dogs as if they were her own.

Yuval was INCREDIBLE with our dog, Benji. She really took the time to get to know him and really leaned into his interests and needs. Some days he needed a more of a walk and other days he needed playtime or cuddles, and she gave him what he needed. She also gave very detailed daily updates and tons of photos. It really felt like she treated Benji as her own and we will forever be grateful to her for that. Knowing Benji was with someone who really cared made being away from him so much less painful. I would highly recommend her services, especially if your dog has a big personality like Benji does.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Avocado Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Avocado Heights on Rover is $14.43 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 22,323 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Avocado Heights. 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 Avocado Heights. 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 Avocado Heights.

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 Avocado Heights. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
