Timothy did a great job walking and caring for our senior dog. I appreciated his updates and photos of Teddy, and I could tell that my dog enjoyed walking with him. Thanks again!

About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or keeping a routine, I provide dependable, compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I believe consistency is important, so I communicate clearly and keep pet parents updated throughout every visit Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home while following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I closely supervise pets and send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: $40 promo code for new Rover bookings. I'm new to Rover, but not new to animal care. I've trained my rescue dog Storm, using positive reinforcement methods, to be my service dog. He has a therapeutic effect on nervous dogs, and has helped socialize many cats to become dog lovers. I've been a part of many dogs training protocols, and am now exploring becoming a trainer myself! Take advantage of my low fees while I build my profile. I keep your little buddies entertained in ways that meet them at their level, whether it's long hikes, lazing in some grass, or playing with toys at home. I'm here to make you and your furry friend feel comfortable. ***Bonus*** you'll get some adorable pet pics whenever they stay in my care! I work from home most days, so I'm available to be a companion to your pet right off the bat! My work breaks are spent playing, training, and giving out treats! We like a house full of enrichment activities, with plenty of time for naps and cuddles in between. I have a 2br apartment that offers plenty of communal or private lounge space. It's been useful for boarding multiple animals, seperating eating as needed, quarantining for medical reasons, or just offering a shy animal their own quiet space. There are steps to my apartment and it's helpful if your dog is comfortable with stairs, or is 15lbs or under and can be carried. I live in a low traffic quiet neighborhood near a lot of parks and pretty outdoor spaces for walks. And there is some great bird and squirrel watching from the balcony doors.

Whitney is extremely patient & professional. My dog is not an easy going pup he’s a bit of a grumpy old fuss pot. She communicates & asks for advice, I cannot stress enough how patient Whitney is. I felt she really tired to understand him & work with us. She is a great walker who goes above & beyond!!

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 work in mental health remotely and my husband is at home with the kids full time while I focus on building my practice so we have a healthy amount of flexibility. 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’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.

If you’re interested is saving research time and effort, I can assure you that you will be very pleased with Kelly’s walks and/or training. She’s not only a master of her trade but also a wonderful and kind human being. Have no fear and don’t hesitate to book with Kelly. She’s the best thing that has happened to my 2 dogs and to me.

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!

“My pup has officially found their new best friend! 🐾 Our dog walker goes above and beyond—whether it’s extra belly rubs, little updates with photos, or making sure my fur baby comes home happy and tired. I think my dog might like walks with them more than me (but I’ll try not to be jealous 😅). Couldn’t ask for a more caring, reliable, and tail-wag–approved walker

FAQs for Dog Walking - Canyon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Canyon on Rover is $27.75 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 12,798 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 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 Canyon.

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 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 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.
