About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I have about 8 years of experience caring for them. Growing up with my own dogs has taught me how to understand their personalities, routines, and the importance of providing them with patience, love, and attention. Over the years, I have also helped care for my family’s dogs when they needed someone they could trust while they were away. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, baths, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog is different and has their own needs, whether they love being active, playing, or simply relaxing with someone they trust. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every dog with the same care, kindness, and affection I would give my own ! I currently work a part-time job, but I am still able to provide reliable and loving care for your pets. I am happy to work around my schedule to make sure your furry friend receives the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I will always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my priority, and I want to make sure they feel happy and cared for ! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether caring for them in my home or visiting clients’ homes, I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for!

Brian took such good care of Simon, it’s abundantly clear that he’s passionate about animals and providing them the best care. He was so communicative and it was one of the very few times where I’ve felt such peace of mind that Simon was in good hands. :) will definitely rebook in the future!

About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

I’m so thankful for My’Anna! She is reliable, kind, and clearly loves caring for animals. She has helped me immensely with being able to walk my pup while I’m at work and has able to navigate challenges with her leash reactivity. She always makes sure to update me if there’s any issues or if everything went perfect. She goes above and beyond whether it be dealing with my neighbors or my building to ensuring my pup is getting a good walk and has water when they come back. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my pup is in such caring hands. I highly recommend My’Anna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about dogs.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals comes from raising my own dogs, especially my sweet girl, Roxi, whom I was fortunate to have from the time she was a puppy until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February 2026 at 15 years old. Caring for her through every stage of life gave me firsthand experience with senior dog care, medication schedules, mobility assistance, and the extra patience, compassion, and love that aging pets deserve. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding routines, administering oral medications, providing potty breaks, and recognizing when a dog's behavior or health seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs, and I adapt my care to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce the training and routines you're already working on, including crate training, potty schedules, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I know consistency is important, and I'll follow your instructions to help keep your puppy on track. You'll also receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work a hybrid full-time position, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, evening visits, overnight stays, or weekend care, I plan my schedule around each pet's needs. I believe reliability and consistency are just as important as love and affection, so I make it a priority to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible.

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.

About: Hi! We’re a husband-and-wife team who are passionate about providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for every dog we care for. As lifelong dog lovers, we have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and we understand that every pup deserves personalized attention and plenty of affection. Our own furry daughter is a huge part of our family, and we love spending our days taking walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in our yard, and making sure she lives her happiest life. We’d love to provide that same level of care and love to your dog while you’re away. One of the biggest advantages we offer is that we both work from home full-time. That means your pup will rarely be left alone and will receive constant supervision, companionship, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so we’ll treat them like one of our own. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing on the couch, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. We work from home permanently therefore have plenty of time to tend to your dogs needs. In addition, we have a fur baby of our own and are accustomed to taking on daily routine focused on pet care. Our home is designed to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed during their stay. We have a spacious yard for supervised play and exercise, as well as extra bedrooms where dogs can enjoy a quiet space if they need to unwind. We also have crates in a variety of sizes available for dogs who are crate-trained or whose owners prefer they sleep or rest in one. We understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. That’s why we tailor our care to each individual pup—whether they love to play all day, enjoy long walks, prefer lots of cuddles, or need a calm, low-stress environment. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable with us as they do at home. Between the two of us, we have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, ages, and energy levels. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, as well as shy or anxious dogs, we take the time to earn their trust and provide the patient, loving care they deserve.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾

About: I have had a dog since 2010, unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I love every dog I meet and thoroughly enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. Dogs make me incredibly happy, and I like to think I make them happy as well! I am available any day of the week for your dogs needs. I have the summer off from work, so I am able to look after them 24/7 if needed. I can easily crate any dog if needed. I love hanging out and playing with dogs and making sure they’re in a safe environment. There’s a lot of walking trails near where I live which are amazing for walks. There’s also a dog park right in my community.

Elizabeth continues to be a very reliable and loving dog sitter, whom our dog adores! She not only walks Lily, but she plays with her on days that aren’t nice (their favorite game is soccer!) and takes the time to make sure she’s happy and cared for during each visit. Elizabeth watches our dog weekly, and we couldn’t be happier with her communication and the extra care she consistently puts in.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Elizabeth is truly exceptional. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves what she does—her connection with the dogs is natural and comforting. Elizabeth goes above and beyond on every walk. Whether it’s making sure routines are followed, giving extra attention when needed, or keeping you updated with thoughtful messages and photos, she brings a level of care that’s hard to find. It gives total peace of mind knowing your dog is not just being walked, but truly cared for. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and consistently exceeds expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—any dog would be lucky to have Elizabeth in their life!

Megan was such a great walker for our dog! She walked him 3x/week for 7 months. She was always on time, walked him for the full 30 minutes (regardless of how cold the weather was), and great at communicating if there were any schedule changes. We are so sad that Megan is moving and won’t be able to walk our dog anymore. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any of your dog needs!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Berkeley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Berkeley on Rover is $12.21 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 13,210 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Berkeley. 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 Berkeley. 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 Berkeley.

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 Berkeley. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
