“All I can say is that when you go on vacation and your a pet parent, the last thing you want is to worry about the well being of your dog. Well KATIE definitely gave me peace of mind and and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog Boris was in GREAT hands. After the meet and greet, I already had a sense of comfort because of her experience and super friendly demeanor. She also sent me pictures of Boris during walks and my family even told me that my dog can sense that she was close to come get him because he would start to act anxious and wait for her at the door. Knowing that truly solidifies her ability to love and care for your pet. If I ever need someone to walk/watch my dog(s) again, Katie will be my definite go to. THANK YOU KATIE! Oh...she also gave us a farewell dog toy and homemade chocolate chip cookies on her last day walking Boris. This is great customer service and definitely built a great rapport with my family and I.”
About: I have two years of daily, hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Kylie. She is energetic but can be shy in unfamiliar situations, so I have learned to read a dog’s body language, give them time to adjust, and build trust without forcing interaction. In addition to caring for Kylie, I regularly help care for my friends’ dogs when they are away. This has given me experience following different feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routines and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I am patient, attentive, and careful about following each owner’s instructions. I will treat your dog with the same care I give my own and provide regular photo and message updates while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am able to plan my day around pet care and provide consistent attention rather than rushing between visits. I am generally available on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the booking. I will confirm my availability before accepting each request and make sure I have enough time to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routine. I provide care in my client’s home, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Before the booking, I prefer to have a meet and greet to learn about each pet’s personality, routine, care instructions, and any special needs. I carefully follow the owner’s directions for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I pay close attention when entering or leaving the home and always check that doors, windows, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure. I will never let a pet off leash or introduce them to unfamiliar animals without the owner’s permission. I respect my client’s home, keep the pet’s space clean, and maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates and will contact the owner promptly if I notice any unusual behavior or health concerns.
“I was in Tahoe and couldn't return home, so I urgently needed someone to walk my dog. Yao helped quickly despite my absence. Thank you very much for walking Ruby twice, in the morning and evening, on short notice.”
“Austa is the BEST! If I could give her 6 stars I would. Our dog Remi is so so happy with her and I have complete trust in Austa! Any pets and parents would be lucky have Austa 🐶”
About: I bring a unique combination of attentiveness, reliability, and experience to every dog I care for. I have a very adaptable schedule, which means I can accommodate a wide range of needs and last-minute requests. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels happy and safe while you're away, and will provide all the pictures to keep you updated! Currently in between jobs so have full flexibility on weekdays, and sometimes on weekends! I have the time needed to provide regular walks, playtime, and full on attentive care! If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions, maintain their usual routines, and keep the home tidy, ensuring pets feel comfortable and at ease in their familiar surroundings. I will make sure to take detailed notes of all care instructions to ensure the pet’s safety. Communication with pet owners is a top priority, providing updates to keep them informed while they’re away.
“Winnie was exceptional in caring for my complicated chihuahuas and shy cat while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and dedication provided them with the companionship they craved, going far beyond what was expected. My pets were happy and well-cared for, and I’m incredibly grateful for her outstanding help. Highly recommend!”
About: I have my own dog, Kaeda who recently turned 7! My family & I adopted her when she was just months old, so I have experience with young puppies as well! I’ve also taken care of my friends and family’s dogs & have recent experience in house sitting cats. I loved all my experiences so much, I want to give back and offer it to my community as well! :) I currently work part-time Mon, Tues, Fri from 10-7 so those days would be a little different. I’d wake up at 8am to carry out my morning routine with my dog on the days I work. After work, I like to go out for walks with my own dog and play with her & her toys before ending my day. My off days would follow a similar schedule but with a lesser gap in the middle of the day which I would spend with my dog :) Depending on what a specific pet’s needs are, I can cater to being more or less active with them. Generally, I like keep my pet active throughout the day by going on walks / playing with toys / sunbathing and I give them space if needed. I also value cleanliness by always wiping my dog down before and after going outside or providing baths when needed.
About: I grew up on a farm in Colombia, where I was surrounded by animals from a very young age. Caring for dogs, cats, and other animals has always been a natural part of my life. I am attentive, patient, responsible, and affectionate with pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, and basic care according to each pet’s needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am available to care for pets in the mornings from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the owner’s home. I can also take dogs for walks, provide companionship, feed them, and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for during my visit. I am reliable, responsible, and enjoy spending time with animals. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, ensure pets have fresh water, food, and exercise, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, I use secure leashes and pay close attention to their needs and behavior.
“Zihong was a great walker and very reliable. The communication was prompt and helpful throughout, keeping me well updated. My dog was always happy to head out on walks with ZIhong and returned well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, dependable dog walker.”
“Maria is amazing! She showed up in such a short notice to meet Snowy before I hire her. Then I went on my trip and she was always on time, and my pets were so happy with her. I would definitely hire her again, I highly recommend you to hire her, your pets will thank you 😊”
“Erica has been great to work with and our dogs are always in good hands! Erica took the time to come over and meet our dogs and learn about their routines before the booking. She is always on time and keeps us updated and sends pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Erica as a responsible and caring dog walker/sitter!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer named Shaft who made me a life long lover of dogs. At 18 I brought home my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Tsar, and raised him from a puppy. He's 9 now and very much my child. Two years ago we added Goose, a goofy, high-energy golden retriever who keeps us both on our toes. I'm very comfortable handling large, strong dogs, but I have a real soft spot for the little ones too. I pay close attention to body language and respect dogs as animals first, which helps me read how they're feeling and keep them calm and safe. I know your pets are family, and I'll care for them the same way I care for mine. I previously worked part time as a product designer, and I'm now looking to spend more of my time doing something that genuinely makes me happy. My weekdays are open and flexible, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my daily life, between walks, playtime, and keeping up with my own two, so pet care fits right in. Your pups will get the attention, exercise, and company they deserve. I care for dogs the way I care for my own, with a steady routine and plenty of attention. My dogs start the day with a walk, then settle for 15 to 20 minutes before eating to help avoid digestion issues. I never leave the house without a bag of treats, and every walk doubles as a mini training session. I let dogs explore and sniff to their heart's content while still working on leash manners, and I'm happy to reinforce whatever training you're working on. Whether I'm caring for a dog in my home or yours, I'll gladly follow the routine you've already set up for your pet.
“Brent was reliable and my girls, Lola and Lucy liked at first meeting. He sent pictures and notified me about his visits. He also pointed out things he noticed in the neighborhood. He is a great caregiver and I will hire him again.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. I enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time to walk and take care of your pets. I am available more often during the week. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I will be fully focused on your pet. I’m patient and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits, and boundaries.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 20+ years. I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs, rode horses, volunteered at animal shelters, and we currently have 2 tuxedo kitties. I have been volunteering with local animals shelters for the past 10+ years; mainly dogs, cats, and small animals. I usually opt to support pet care (feeding, kennel cleaning, walks) and recently I have been supporting surgeries (spays, neuter, etc). From all of my experiences, I’ve found that patience, respect, and kindess are the pillars to good interactions with animals. The most important thing to me will always be the well-being of your pet. Happy to help out fellow pet parents through Rover! Cheers, Marissa I’m currently between jobs (biotech in the bay) and am happy to add some structure to my days with pet care. I’m available weekdays for visits, walks, and care. Not able to do boarding or home sits at this time. I will respect your space as if it was my own; no shoes in the house, leave things cleaner than you found it, pet-safety conscientious (ex food risks). When visiting your pets they’ll have my undivided attention and you have my promise to thoroughly review any instructions; big or small.
“Andy was an awesome dog walker. He was prompt and made sure my dog got her full hour. You can tell he is a dog person who cares and understands dogs. Iggy loved walking with Andy and Milo.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlingame
Katie was communicative, professional, friendly and on time. I liked that she reached out for a meet and greet in advance. This was my first time using Rover and unfortunately my dog didn’t respond well to a walker that wasn’t me. This was 100% my dog and 0% Katie.
Hope was so easy to work with and Harper loved her! I could tell Harper enjoyed her time with Hope because on the second walk day she rushed to the door to greet Hope with her tail a wagging! On both days Harper was joyful and perfectly tired when she was returned. Hope was professional and friendly. I will hire Hope again in the future!
va did an amazing job caring for and walking my dog, Riley, while I was traveling. She was extremely professional, responsive, and reliable throughout the entire process, which gave me a great deal of peace of mind while away. The biggest sign of how wonderful she was is that Riley was incredibly happy, calm, and content when I returned home. It was clear he was very well cared for and comfortable with her. I truly appreciated the communication and attention she provided, and I would absolutely work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

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 Burlingame. 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 Burlingame 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 Burlingame. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% 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 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.
