“Lynn has walked my dogs for a week now. Although they are a difficult group ( there are three medium sized dogs) she has worked with them with great enthusiasm. She takes them out every day. Always lets me know when she will arrive and is quite accurate. I recommend her highly.”

“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! At one point, my family had up to four dogs at a time. I also have taken care of other animals (lizards, cats, fish) for neighbors, friends, and random job postings found online! I am capable of bathing, walking, feeding, giving medications/ treatments, socializing, or whatever you need for your pets! I am currently in school online and taking some time off of work! This leaves me with extreme flexibility to take care of your animals. Every pet and pet parent is unique! As long as you give me the gist of what your pet needs, I am happy to provide that.

About: I've been taking care of pups and kitties since I was about 8 yrs old! I've learned how to identify triggers and/or warning signs with this experience. Hello ☺️ I just moved to the Bay Area and I'm a pawrent to one pup and two kitties! I just got my degree in Video Production/Film and will be freelancing when I can, which means my schedule is very open!! My current availability for drop-in visits and pup walking is Monday- Sunday 6am-10pm, unless it's a blocked out date. I would prefer to have a meet & greet before any booking. This helps me understand how to properly care for each pet. I always want to make sure that each furry friend, fur parent, and myself feels comfortable before hand. Whenever I drop in to visit, I make sure to do what ever is asked in regards to caring for your furry babies! Potty breaks. Making sure they are fed. Cuddle sessions! And of course making sure that I leave everything how it was before I arrived.

“Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!”

About: I’d love to care for and walk your pets. Dog park romps, petting sessions, and snuggling provided. I care for them in my home or drop into your home as needed. Experience with large animals, geriatric and young animals. If you are traveling and need a reliable, fun, experienced sitter for your pets, I’d be happy to do a meet and greet and meet you and your pets. I have a 6year old neutered male Australian Sheppard and a 2 year old indoor/outdoor cat. Both are amenable to sharing their space with new furry friends. I'm an active retiree so I have plenty of time for your furry family members. My dog loves to play with new furry friends or chill and give them space. I have a fenced yard and dog door for in and out privileges. I accept dogs that are crated at night or free roaming. Home is well suited to pets.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including my sweet lab/German shepherd mix, Layla, who we lost to cancer 3 years ago. Right now, we have a rescued cat and a 1-year-old pup staying with family back in Las Vegas. We recently relocated to Moraga and are staying with my sister until we get on our feet and can bring our loves along with us. We're missing our pets and would love to love on yours! I'm absolutely obsessed with dogs, and my kids love all animals (they'd bring home every stray *anything* if it were up to them!). We found our cat wandering a park and took her in, so I get where they get it from! I know how important it is to feel safe leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal like they’re family. Whether it’s senior care, playful pups, or cuddly cats, I’ve got the experience, the patience, and the heart for it. I own a mental health practice remotely (anger management & conflict focus), so other than pick up and drop off of our sons, I'm home full-time. We would be honored to be entrusted with the care of your little loves. We were previously homeowners who rented often and managed multiple properties, so we know how important it is to treat others' home like (if not better!) than your own. We will care for your pets in your home as you prefer, and are comfortable with crates, walks, light training, etc.

About: I love dogs! Caring for them is one of my greatest joys. I am great with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have always had a pet in my home. I have raised my own puppy from 2 months old and have helped raise many other puppies. I am comfortable with a high energy dog who needs a lot of attention and exercise and understand the extra care and compassion needed for older dogs. I am in great physical condition and consider myself to be strong which is always helpful when walking reactive or larger dogs. I am currently working part time from home and have flexible hours. Tons of availability. I am interested in making pet care more of a full time job. I live in a small apartment with my own 7lb yorkie. I am willing to host other small animals if we know our pets get along. I am willing to pet sit in your home with or without my dog pending the circumstances.

About: I raised my own dog from the time he was just 2 months old for about seven years, so I have firsthand experience caring for a dog through puppyhood and adulthood. When I moved to the U.S., I had to say goodbye to him, but my love for dogs has always stayed with me. Through those years, I became very familiar with the daily responsibilities of dog care, including feeding, walking, playtime, potty routines, bathing, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and comfort zone. I’m patient, attentive, and careful about following each owner’s instructions and keeping their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll keep you updated and send photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available Monday through Friday, generally from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and my schedule is fairly flexible. Saturday availability may also be possible depending on the week. I have a school pickup around 3:00 PM, and my 6-year-old is home with me afterward. For boarding and daycare, I’m therefore best suited for dogs who are comfortable and gentle around children. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and adjust walks, meals, potty breaks, and playtime as needed. I take safety and consistency seriously and always follow each owner’s instructions as closely as possible. In my home, I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given a routine that feels familiar to them. I’m careful with doors, entrances, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that could affect their safety. Since I have a 6-year-old child at home, I only accept dogs for boarding or daycare who are comfortable and safe around children. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow the pet’s established routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications if needed, and any house-specific instructions. I also make sure doors and entry points are secure before I leave.

Sydney followed all of the complicated instructions smoothly and handled my dog with separation anxiety gently in her first visit. She met my dog where she was and applied just the right amount of effort to try and get her out. Hopefully Sydney will be able to walk her again, so that they can get to know each other better and the anxiety will melt away. Thank you, Sydney!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Canyon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Canyon on Rover is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $48 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 12,853 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Canyon. 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 Canyon. 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 Canyon 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 Canyon. On Rover:

  • 90% 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 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.
