“Audrey was wonderful with our little monster dog. She was patient and understanding. Her updates after each walk were much appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Would definitely use her again in the future!”

“Ellyn saved the evening when my absent-mindedness forgot I had an event tonight and Gretel would need a walk and dinner. Always reliable and a real pleasure - Ellyn is so great with my spicy little girl. Thank you Ellyn!!!”

About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and I don’t rush visits—I take the time to truly connect. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra reassurance. I follow routines closely, keep communication open, and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. My goal is to make your time away completely stress-free. I’m currently working remote part time, so excited to spend my time with dogs outdoors. Throughout the week, I plan my schedule around drop-ins and walks so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I treat every visit as quality time, not just a task, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Pet care keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely brings joy into my day. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, potty breaks, and any training cues you use. I keep the home secure, respect your space, and always leave everything clean and in order.

Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”

“Kylie took great care of our senior dog Kruger. She was very responsive, trustworthy, professional and provided regular updates while we were out of town. I would book with her again!”

“Jacob was great with our dogs! He was communicative, reliable, and very sweet with both of them. They can definitely be a handful around other dogs, and I really appreciated his patience and honesty about how the walk went. He took great care of them and kept me updated throughout. I would definitely recommend Jacob to other pet parents!”

“Jessica was great, took care of our dog, did all the things we asked her to do with him, and she was awesome enough to take care of him on short notice. Will be using her again”

“Michael is always so flexible and promptly responds to last minute requests due to our hectic work schedule. He is great with our puppy as he is still working on leash skills! Thank you Michael!”

“Eli did a great job walking Max. Max gets stressed when I leave. Eli is patient with Max and even helps Max eat when normally he wouldn’t because he’s stressed. Grateful for Eli! Will definitely use Eli again.”

“So grateful that I found Azucena. She made me able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my “baby boy” was happy and so well taken care of. I will continue to go back to her every time I need to leave town. Thank you!!”


About: Lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I genuinely love being around dogs and naturally connect with them quickly, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I have a calm and patient approach, and I take the time to let pups come to me at their own pace. Building trust is super important to me, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I usually sit with them at ground level for the first few hours so they can get used to me without pressure. I currently care for a 7 month old golden retriever puppy part of the time, so I’m very familiar with the needs of high energy young dogs, including exercise, structure, and positive attention. I also had a Maltipoo who lived to almost 17 years old, so I understand true love that comes with the patience and gentle care that senior dogs need as well. My home is pet-friendly and located near several great parks for walks and playtime. If your dog enjoys social outings and it’s approved by you, we also love trips to the dog beach for safe, supervised fun. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers quiet snuggles and companionship, I take the time to learn their personality and routine so they feel at home while you’re away. I’m attentive, responsible, and will always treat your dog like family. You can expect regular updates, tons of photos, and plenty of love while your pup is in my care. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my routine because I genuinely love being around dogs and spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m already used to caring for a 7m old golden retriever puppy part of the time, so daily walks, exercise, and structured routines are part of my normal life. Making sure dogs are happy, stimulated, and relaxed is something I prioritize every day. I have a calm and patient approach, and I take the time to let pups come to me at their own pace. Building trust is super important to me, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I usually sit w them at ground level for the first few hours. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I know dogs feel most secure when their schedule stays familiar.
“This was our first walk with Justin with our two doodles and it was a smashing success. Justin is extremely attentive and sensitive to our dogs needs, demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and puts them and us at ease. Justin goes above and beyond anticipating our needs and those of the dogs, for example today he noticed the dogs feet were dirty from the walk and offered to rinse them off in the back patio before bringing them inside, and he did this even though he had already spent more than the scheduled 60 minutes we had with him. Looking forward to many more walks and stays with Justin!”

Jacob was great with our dogs! He was communicative, reliable, and very sweet with both of them. They can definitely be a handful around other dogs, and I really appreciated his patience and honesty about how the walk went. He took great care of them and kept me updated throughout. I would definitely recommend Jacob to other pet parents!

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!

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 Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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-by-the-Sea. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
