About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of pet sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have my own pup, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your pet. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved! I work from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable, attentive, and flexible to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also love providing updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Luke is awesome. He came to the door and before entering talked to my dog and made him feel comfortable and when he entered they were immediate friends! Luke is trustworthy and responsible and I’ll will use him again.”

About: I’ve helped care for my family dog since I was 10, went to shelter camps growing up, and volunteered at a shelter near me during college. That is where I really got comfortable with big, strong, and nervous dogs. More recently I’ve been walking through another app, mostly repeat clients, so the routine is second nature: show up on time, follow instructions exactly, send a photo and update every visit. I’m confident with pit bulls, huskies, and German shepherds, and I’m not thrown by a puller or a dog who needs a minute to warm up. If yours has a quirk, just tell me at the meet-and-greet and we’ll work with it! I recently graduated, so my schedule is wide open right now. I’m available most days including mornings, middays, and weekends, and I can usually take last-minute or same-day requests. Midday walks while you’re at work are my sweet spot. If I ever can’t make a time work, I’ll tell you right away instead of leaving you hanging. I’m super adaptable to any routine! Same leash, same route rules, same door and lock instructions, just let me know. I’m comfortable crating if that’s part of your setup, and I’ll double check gates, doors, and water before I leave. With strong or reactive dogs I keep walks lower-traffic and give other dogs plenty of space. You’ll get a photo and a quick update every visit so you always know how it went!
About: Hello! My name is Mya and I absolutely love dogs. My favorite dog is your dog! I've always had dogs growing up and love to have them around. I live in Encinitas next to the beach with a private courtyard and lots of places to walk around! I understand every pet has different needs and I am happy to accommodate your doggie with any needs they may have. Updates and photos will be provided throughout the entire stay. I am also happy to do meet and greets before booking! I would be deeply honored if you trust me with a member of your family and I will treat them with the utmost kindness. Can’t wait to meet you both! 🤗 Schedule: I work full time currently, so I am unable to take weekday requests. However, I am free on the weekends and Friday nights for boarding, daycares, or walks. Environment: I live in a gated community with friendly neighbors and lots of space for your dog to play and be outside. I also have a spot for their doggie bed! I’m very attentive and set alarms for when we should go on walks or give medication. You will also receive pictures throughout the entire stay.
About: I want to provide a fun and safe environment for dogs to be in, and I believe that is best accomplished if they are at home, where they are completely comfortable. I have had dogs while growing up starting on my 12th birthday. We also had cats in our household and they always seemed to get along with the dogs. I would love to have a dog now, but I can't have pets where I live, so I would love to care for your furry friend. :) I can drop in to check on the dog or go for a 30 minutes walk 3 times a day, if needed. I also believe it is best to keep them in an environment they are familiar and comfortable with, especially when parents are going away and an unknown person (sitter) is going to care for them. I also care for cats, all ages, all breeds, any special needs. I love my kitties too! :) I am able to do morning, noon and evening walk, or drop in throughout the day, if needed. I am available most weekends and holidays with a few days notice. At your house, I will follow your directions for feeding times, amount of food, or any special instructions. Usually I take the dog for a quick walk / potty break before the meal. After the meal is all about belly rubs, play time and cuddles. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I grew up with Goldens, German Shephards and Labs mostly. I had a pug of my own as well as a black lab. I have 4 siblings and they all have 1-2 dogs and we all laugh that we treat them like humans ie: sometimes they eat better than us! (wink wink). More recently, I lived in a place that wouldn't allow dogs so I would get my dog fix going on my daily walks especially in Encinitas where they are everywhere. But I thought getting into dog sitting/walking would allow me to be around them even more. They are good for the soul. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. So I can be available for last minute things that may come up and I'm am able to be at the house/do walks often if needed. I walk about 2 hours a day as it is so it would be in even better addition to my routine to have a dog with me! I am unable to have pets in my home at the moment although that is going to change in the next few months. As far as coming to your home, I am very respectful, reliable and will treat your dog like it's my own.
About: I’ve home/pet sat, walked and cared for many animals and I even have my own two rescue kitties and a 2 year old corgi boy! I worked for the Virginia Maryland vet school for three years which included dogs, horses, pigs, cows and rodents. I love all animals and would be happy to care for your pet like they are my family! I can provide most services at any time as I work fully remote so I’m dedicated to even the most particular requests. (I myself have very spoiled and particular animals) Let me know how I can put your mind at ease when your pets are in my care! I work a full time job so I’m free for anything outside of 5-2 M-F. I can also do lunch time check ins most days as well! I’m happy to accommodate to whatever your pet needs. I have two cats with medical needs and grew up with just about every pet you can image so I can adapt to whatever!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12. My family got our first puppy a few years ago, so I have also learned how to handle the young ones. My friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pups while they are away. I would be happy to help care for yours! My schedule is very flexible. I am currently looking for a full time position, so I spend most of my day at home job searching. Taking care of pups is a great balance for me. I have plenty of time to walk and play, and can be at available most of the day. I am happy to follow any schedules or rules that help create structure for your pup. As a walker, I do my best to encourage and maintain any leash training and other commands. If you are looking for a house sitter, I'd love to talk more about what your preferences are.

About: Full-time dog walker and pet sitter. Expanding Pet Nanny by the Sea, serving north County since 2004, with Terry Nelson. Pet enthusiast and owner of two whippets and a cat! I graduated from USD and after working in tax and SEC Reporting, I left my Accounting career to be a full time dog walker and pet sitter, expanding Pet Nanny by the Sea. I'm available to be with your dogs for regular walks or overnights and your pet would never be left alone more than 2 hours. My home has a fenced yard, outdoor couch for sun bathing and we always have a few dogs around to keep yours busy. I live a few minutes walk from a beautiful dog park for daily walks and just a short drive from the beach. I love letting the pups run off leash (if allowed) in the park or dog beach.
About: Hi, I’m McKenna! I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and have had dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of mine. I’m also very much a cat person! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home. I’m very active and would love to take your dog to the beach, out on a trail, or for a long walk, but I’m just as happy spending the day with a couch potato who would rather lounge in the sun. I’m flexible and happy to follow whatever routine and pace works best for your pet. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable with the extra patience and attention they often require, including medications, mobility limitations, frequent breaks, and established routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously. I’d love to build consistent, long-term relationships with pet parents and become someone you can trust to care for your animals again and again. Whether your pet needs an active companion, a calm presence, or simply someone who will stick to their routine and give them plenty of love, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My schedule is able to be super flexible on a weekly basis so I’m able to work with your needs! Please let me know exactly what you’re looking for and I can try to accommodate! I have a secure, ground-floor one-bedroom unit with a fully fenced patio that connects directly to the living space, giving pets the freedom to move between indoors and outside while still having a safe, contained area to relax. I’m also located near Beacons Beach, so for dogs who enjoy getting out and about, I’d love to take them for a run, walk, or swim in the ocean. I also have access to a larger home that I can utilize depending on the needs and comfort level of each pet. I’m happy to tailor the environment and routine to what works best for your dog or cat, whether they prefer a little more space and activity or a quiet, comfortable place to settle in. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“Holly was amazing! She was so sweet to my pup and I think she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She was very communicative and easy to get in touch with. Would recommend 1000%”

About: I’ve trained 2 puppies and have had dogs since I was born. I’ve pet sitted for years for friends and family and now that I’m moving to San Diego, I’m looking to find some dogs/pets to spend time with since I don’t have any of my own. I work remote so I’m fairly flexible. I can adapt my schedule to ensure lots of walks and attention. I prefer to pet sit during the week. I can occasionally take care of pets and clients homes. I am respectful of the house and will leave everything as I received it. I make sure the pet is feeling comfortable, fed, and entertained. I especially enjoy going on walks with the pets.

Grace has been walking my two hyper and (sometimes) reactive dogs on hour long walks 1x per week. She’s been great with them, and they both warmed up to her so quickly! Grace is always prompt with communicating and her schedule timing. We will definitely be continuing to work with Grace and I’d recommend her to others, too. Thank you, Grace!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Cardiff is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $49 per walk. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 10,087 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cardiff. 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 Cardiff. 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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
