“Sara’s love for dogs shows how she handles Louie’s hesitation to new caretakers. She is very patient and understood Louie’s needs. I will definitely continue to book her services here in Rover.:)”
About: Animals have always been part of my life, and looking after them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have been pet sitting for many years, for friends and family, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Allowing me to spend time with your pet is a privilege that I will not take for granted. I look after cats, dogs, puppies, senior pets, birds, lizards, and small animals and offer drop-in visits, and dog walking in Benicia. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout, and I will stick to your pet's routine. I have cared for animals my whole life whether it be my own or for others. My volunteer work at the humane society, Suisun Wildlife Center, and International Bird Rescue has strengthened my passion of caring for pets. I would love to meet you and your pet before the first booking. I am newly retired and have a very flexible schedule. My availability will work around caring for my own fur babies. I live near a neighborhood park which I can use for dog walking or any other favorite spot your pet prefers. I will be sure to understand your pet's individual needs and routine. I will do everything I can to foster a fun and enriching experience for your fur baby. You can rest easy knowing your pet will be safe and loved during each visit or walk.
“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”
“Natalie was flexible with scheduling, especially with only a few days advanced notice. She was punctual and able to walk my occasionally reactive dog. It’s hard for us to leave him but I knew he was in good hands based on a prior experience. I will absolutely book her again. Thank you Natalie!”
“Jenna was available last minute to walk my pup when I was in a bind. She even made the time to walk my puppy twice! Jenna sent pictures and updates from their walks. Highly recommend!”
About: As a work-from-home dog mom and experienced sitter, I offer more than just pet care—I offer a second home. With a fenced yard for safe play, a cozy crate for rest, and a heart full of love, your pet becomes part of our family from day one :) Hi! I’m Iris, a loving pet enthusiast and a proud pet parent to my sweet Bacon. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your furry family members throughout the day. With a calm, nurturing personality and a deep love for animals, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for in your absence. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or regular walks, I treat every pet like my own! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and exercise, as well as an extra crate available if your dog prefers a cozy, enclosed space to rest. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and in a great neighborhood offering a safe environment where your furry friend will feel right at home.
“Vanessa is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I really appreciated how patient she was in allowing my pup Leo to take his time warming up to her—it made a big difference. Highly recommend!”
About: I combine years of hands on pet care with a deep sense of responsibility and heart. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a gentle pace and medication reminders. My experience includes contracted dog and cat sitting in DC, walking reactive dogs, and even coordinating vet visits. I’m great at reading animal behavior, adapting to their needs, and communicating openly with owners. Whether it’s belly rubs, leash manners, or just keeping them safe and happy, I treat every pet like family.🤙🏿😊 I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule & I’m up early. Caring for animals is a meaningful part of my week that brings me joy, movement, and purpose. In your home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding instructions, walk and play schedules, and any special care details to the letter. I keep the space clean, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and respect your home like it’s my own. 😊
About: I watch Chomsky every day and he’s my boy. I cared for Bella, a Border Collie during grad school for three years. Loved her too. I am an artist teaching kids in Lafayette, CA. I care for Chomsky, a cute Shi Tzu mix. He is a sweet boy and quite chill. I can watch your doggie or kitty while working from home. We will also go for walks and play/ throw ball if they want to.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, and horses (hunter/jumper 20 plus years) and can't imagine a life without animals. Until recently, I've been a busy professional who often relied on others to help when I couldn’t be there myself for my fur babies. Now, I want to be that person for you! I'm a well-known morning regular at the local dog park in Benicia, and have often been trusted with the care of our dog friends and family, be it walks, bringing them to and from the park, doggie daycare, and overnights at my house. I would now like to offer my loving services to others in our community. My partner and I live in a beautiful home with our own 25 pound fur babe, Ursa, a perfectly lovely Muppet (see photos) who absolutely loves everyone - human or animal. We have a spacious and well-fenced back yard perfect for playing, as well as a doggo playroom equipped with cameras, beds, and plenty of toys. I have had and cared for special needs animals that require custom diets, exercise, medication (including injectables), and have cared for seniors through the always heartbreaking end of life stage. While I've trained many animals, I do not consider myself a professional trainer, but would be more than happy to continue any training exercises your animals require to ensure they don't miss a beat on learning. Just let me know what you need and how I can be if assistance. Yours and your animal's wellbeing and happiness are if utmost importance to me. How can I help you today? I'm currently available 7 days a week for walking, in-home visits, dog park excursions, full daytime care, and overnights. I take my own girl to the park every morning and we would love for your friendly fur babe to join us! If they prefer 1:1 interactions with a playful doggo, or just a playful human, we are available for all of it. I have a friendly 25 pound Muppet of a dog who would love to play (no aggression or possessive behavior) in our spacious, well-fenced back yard, as well as an indoor play space on poor weather days. We do have medium and large crates available, if preferred, as well as plenty of toys and soft beds to keep your fur babe happy and healthy. If they prefer solo time, I'm happy to join them at your home for companion visits or walks, or have the means to separate our girl if needed at our house.
“Telena was wonderful! She eased all of my nerves with a new fig that is an escape artist. She have regular updates a photos, she made sure our dog went to the bathroom, and kept her company when she was apprehensive and excitable. She’s a wonderful dog walker and sitter!”
About: I have always loved dogs! I grew up with small and large dogs in the home. I do not currently have any pets in the home so I am looking to fill my free time with some furry friends:) I currently work part time in retail. Open during the afternoons and evening during the week days. I am free all day on the weekends! Will always take extra precautions to keep your pets safe! I will use leash and follow whatever rules you set. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets (dogs and cats) since I was a toddler as well as friends and family. I have a passion for caring for and creating friendly and stimulating environments for animals! I currently work part time and I am a student at UC Santa Barbara looking to make some extra income to pay for my schooling. I would love to care for your pets over the holidays! I will follow any guidelines given to me by the owner in order to ensure their pets safety. I can crate, feed, walk, and drop in on dogs or cats for potty breaks and litter checks when needed.
About: I’ve always had a special connection with animals since I was a child. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for rabbits, ducks, chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and cats. My beloved Chihuahuas and kitties have since crossed the rainbow bridge, but I truly believe they would want me to continue sharing my love and compassion with other animals. I’m a caring, gentle person who enjoys talking to, playing with, and spending quality time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, and I look forward to making your fur baby feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I hope to meet you and your furry family member soon! I'm currently retired and I have time for a drop in visits, feedings and exercise for your pets during the week and weekends. My preferable hours would be 10:30am - 8pm. I may might be able to rearrange my schedule if needed. I provide loving, attentive, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Having cared for animals most of my life, I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs. In my client’s home,

Natalie was patient and kind with my somewhat awkward and nervous pups. They took to her right away (thanks, snacks!) and went right out. We are testing the waters to have them walked while someone is home to relive anxiety and she has no problems at all. Natalie is kind and respectful to the nervous mom, too. Thank you!
Telena does an amazing job walking our 4-year-old collie with back and hip issues, even in our very hilly neighborhood. She’s very sensitive to signs that he needs to stop and head home, and I know that he enjoys his walks because he gets excited every time her car pulls up. She has a true gift with dogs!

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 10,839 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Benicia. 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 Benicia. 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 Benicia.

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 Benicia. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
