About: I am very communicative and attentive in my pet-sitting. I will treat your pet gently, give loads of attention and affection, and care for their various individual needs. I’ve walked and cared for large dogs such as a Great Dane, Mastiff, Lab, and Husky. I’ve cared for small dogs as well. I’ve taught dogs tricks. I’ve prepared dog food slow eating training and activities. I walk and bicycle all over arcata and know the most dog-friendly and exciting routes. I can take well-behaved dogs to Hiller Park (off-leash dog park) in my car. I have a flexible schedule and am always looking to squeeze a cuddle with a pet into my day. I respect how the client wishes for me to interact with their home. I will ask for a rundown of the space and my role, and provide my contact information for any concerns that may arise. I can do other house sitting tasks, such as gardening and cleaning.

About: I've been taking care of animals including wildlife and exotic species for over 5 years. I'm trained in medication administration (including injections) as well as dietary restrictions; I have certificates in Clinical Animal Behavior and Cooperative Care Training with an understanding of how to manage behavioral needs. I take care of my cats every day with assistance from my mom when I'm out of the house; I also do Petsitting and dog walking on a weekly basis. I work full time and do this as a supplement to my income, and to spend time getting to know your pets! I follow instructions carefully, including medication administration needs; I introduce myself to animals slowly and with lots of positive reinforcement to create a healthy relationship. I listen to owner's needs regarding their animal and do my best to be flexible.

About: I have been surrounded by animals for most of my life and I love to help them live their best lives! I studied pre-veterinary biology for two years, so I know about the science behind animals as well as understanding their basic care and needs. I am very good at matching the energy level of any animal and I have a special passion for exotic animals (but of course I love dogs and cats too!). I am experienced in giving medication and I do not shy away from cleaning up any and all messes that they may make. I am currently a student at Cal Poly Humboldt and I have a lot of breaks in my class schedule. For house sitting, I would only be out of the house for 2-4 hours at a time for classes on weekdays and would be able to stay all day on weekends. My schedule is also perfect for drop ins and potty breaks. I feel that I am a very easy person to work with and I will follow any and all guidelines or rules that you present to me. I will also help with house cleaning if you would like that, in addition to cleaning up after your pet(s).

About: Hello! My name is Kayla. I have been working with animals since I was 13 and I first volunteered at a local rescue as a dog walker and bather. I have since then worked many jobs in doggie daycare where I got tons of training in animal behavior. My ultimate goal was to become an RVT and work in a hospital where I would have the opportunity to change the lives of animals. This dream came true in 2024 when I became a licensed veterinary technician. I have since worked at a veterinary hospital where I continue to make a difference and get the opportunity to love on your animals like they are my own and keep them as healthy as possible. When I am not working I am typically spending time at home with my family and my own pets.

My dogs like to escape and they bark at other dogs. I know how to solve these situations. Im going to school but I have classes in the morning so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups! I can also stay over night if you need an overnight stayer! I entertain the pets and make sure they are always occupied if need be. If they look sad I make sure to pet and give them a lot of belly rubs.

About: I am a long time animal lover and have been working in pet care for over 25 years professionally. I have ample experience with dog walking and overnight pet sitting. I ran my own dog walking business as a sole proprietor for many years, and also have worked as an independent contractor for other dog walking & pet sitting companies. In the past, I've cared for many different animals of varying ages and breeds; from puppies and kittens to seniors. I have plenty of experience administering medication for animals who need it, whether it be ear/eye drops, pills, and insulin injections. I also have experience caring for small and furry (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs) as well as scaly (fish, snakes, turtles). I'm responsible, caring, and punctual, and I genuinely care about providing great service to you and your pet. I am looking forward to meeting your furry (or scaly) friend! My schedule is fairly flexible and I will accept bookings Mon-Sun from 8am to 5pm. I prefer to do an free consultation with your dog before you book your first walk. I do appreciate advance bookings, but will do my best to fit you in! Your pet is a member of your family, so it is important to me that your pal feels loved and cared for while you are away. I travel to you and I am not currently available for boarding in my home.

About: I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, and my boyfriend who I live with has had dogs his whole life. We love dogs of all size and ages and hope to adopt more in the future. I (Rebekah) will be who is primarily with your pup! I work 8:30-5 M-F, but am available to let your dog out for a potty break on my lunch and spend the rest of my time outside of work with them! I love to cuddle with pups while reading a book, as well as taking them on walks and playing with them with their toys! I strive to make the dogs feel comfortable with me, as I’m sure they get confused with a new person in their house. I try to keep their daily routine as similar to what they’re used to!

Jackie has the best dog energy. After meeting our pup for just a few minutes once our dog went right up to her and started giving her kisses. Jackie is also very on time and responsive. Highly recommend

Kailin was great with my Goober! They took him on a nice hour-long and made sure to give him some of his favorite treats. They also sent me some pictures of Goober enjoying his walk! I would definitely book with Kailin again

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bayside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 204 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bayside. 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 Bayside. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bayside after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Bayside. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
