About: From working at a pet boarding hotel to doing wildlife rehabilitation, I have keen skills to help take care of your pets with utmost respect, compassion, and comfortability. I work full time Monday-Friday, so I’m available to stop by before or after work, during lunch, or on the weekends to take your pets on walks and play with them. I have a fenced yard for my dog and yours! Daily attention and play time in the morning and afternoon, prioritizing long walks in the evening and stopping by a park to play fetch.
“McKenzie is the absolute best! Dependable! Wish I could use her everyday. Tries to problem solve with you, flexible. Above all, my dog Tully loves her and enjoys their brisk mile walk 💕”
“Amber was phenomenal! Very kind, followed the care plan to a T & was just a nice person in general. She was very understanding & patient with my hectic parking situation. Much appreciated! Thank you so much, if I know anyone I’ll make sure to refer them her way.”
About: Anxious pets, patience, play, and cuddles are my strengths! I've cared for neighbors and friends pets for seven years, and my own great dane and two cats keep me comfortable with every size, personality, and age. I would love to meet your pet :-) I'm a current college graduate spending time with family in southern California. Which means, with a cat of my own, I am unable to board pets but completely free to stay nights, do check-ins during the day, and go on walks! I am patient, calm, kind, and caring towards all pets. I have years of experience with pets having health issues while I care for them, which I always keep the owner 100% involved during. Whether your dog gets separation anxiety, or just has a regular medication schedule, I am qualified and always willing to give care for your furry friend!
“Julia is fantastic. She seamlessly worked into my schedule with a no stress but positive attitude that provided a calming presence for my occasionally nervous rescue pup. Highly recommend!”
“Maya was very responsible and took great care of our dog. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and made sure our dog was safe and comfortable. We really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I am studying biology at UC Santa Barbara with a goal of pursuing a career in Veterinary Medicine. I have adored animals for as long as I can remember, with countless experiences caring for and rescuing cats and dogs. My passion- not only for pet happiness & wellbeing, but also the safety and health of animals, will hopefully make me a perfect match for you and your pet! I am currently a university student with a pretty flexible schedule & long gaps between classes so that I can watch your pets! I do not have many classes Thursday-Friday and am available during weekends for check-ins or overnight visits. I love to get to know your animals, and I enjoy being there to keep them company while you are away! I will always make sure your pet is safe and happy, whether they want to play, run around, cuddle, go on walks, or just hang out.
About: I’ve done a lot of dog walking for my neighbors when I was in highschool for money because everyone knew I loved dogs and would do it. I’ve never done this professionally before but I have a dog and almost all dogs can sense my love for them and typically love me. I’m very active and can walk for hours so I can do walks of any length necessary. I have a lot of time in between classes and on the weekends where I don’t have much to do and could definitely handle some walks or check ins. Big animal lover and empath here who will care for your pet like it is my own I can promise that. I have always been more empathetic toward animals honestly than humans.
“Valentina was very reliable and amazing with my dog! My dog is an anxious, behavioral rescue and she was not phased. She was very trustworthy and friendly. Would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both extended stays and drop-in visits. I’ve hosted an energetic, medium-sized mixed breed dog in my home for a full month, providing daily exercise, structure, and lots of attention. I’ve also cared for two Shih Tzus for a week-long stay, managing their routines, meals, and comfort needs. In addition to boarding, I’ve done house sitting and check-in visits, ensuring pets are well cared for in their own environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at Santa Barbara City College, with classes Monday through Thursday. My schedule is light—usually just one or two classes a day—so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and present, whether it’s for daily visits, extended stays, or overnight care. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent feeding schedule. I make sure pets get lots of affection and stick as closely as possible to their usual routine. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and maintaining their normal schedule. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates, and make sure pets feel relaxed and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was 2! I have pet sit for family and friends my whole life including puppies and elderly dogs! I have no allergies or fears when it comes to pet care. I am currently a full time student, my availability changed per quarter but I am always open to talking about my schedule! I would love to work with your pets for as little or long as possible! My apartment is pet friendly with an elevator and stairs. I also have a car for travel, commutes, and drop in visits! I live right next to 2 large parks as well as the beach for fun pet excursions. My roommate is a dog lover as well, but does have an allergy to shedding dogs.
About: I’ve taken care and house trained dogs for over 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Fur babies thrive on routine and respond to a set schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime. I’m currently working part time and I’m able to schedule myself my own hours. So I’ll have plenty of time to play and dedicate myself to your pups. I provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood as that’s where your pet is most familiar / comfortable. I ask you to please let me know if they have any special needs, if there are other local pets or people they do or do not get along with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 789 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Capitan. 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 Capitan. 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 Capitan 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 Capitan. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
