Lynae was amazing with our dog Eva!! She was so quick to respond when I needed to book a dog walker on short notice. She even had time to come out for a meet & greet and brought a bone with her to let Eva know she was friendly! Lynae has such good energy that Eva loved her immediately! Today she walked Eva for us and even came back for a second playtime and bathroom break that same night when I asked her since we wouldn’t be home until later than we thought. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone!!!

About: I've had a wide variety of pets over my lifetime (ie Dogs, cats,horses,hamsters,mice,rats,ferrets,rabbits,fish,chickens, ducks etc) and I love the companionship and unconditional love they give. I have worked as a Vet tech and recently started house sitting which lead to pet sitting and I've discovered it is something I truly enjoy. I've always wanted a job working with animals and this has become something I'd love to do as my full time job. I've found this is a way I can help others have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands and being well taken care of all while I get my dream job of working with animals of all shapes,sizes and species! I am honest , dependable and will care for your pets as if they were my own.

About: I've had numerous dogs growing up. My mom's requirements were if we wanted a dog we had to care for it ourselves. I've taken care of neighbors animals which included giving medicine to their dogs. We have a huge backyard that any fur baby will love. We just adopted a super adorable toy poodle. He is now 9 months old and has all his vaccines. He is the baby of our family. We have two daughters who are 10 and 11 and they consider him their baby brother. My family loves animals and we will treat them as our own. 💜 I am currently a stay at home mom the only time I am busy is when I take my kids to school or pick them up. I have a large fenced yard with gates that way your baby can play safe and sound. No matter in our home or yours, your fur baby will be treated just like our own.

About: I have watched over many dogs before from my own family dogs to my personal friends dogs as well as my moms friends dogs. I am reliable and responsible and can take good care of any dog I just graduated from Carlsbad High School and have plenty of time on my hands. I do plan however to get a part time job here soon. However I do have a flexible schedule I’ve watched over plenty of dogs throughout my life and understand dog behavior. I have watched over friends houses in the past and have been very respectful of their homes.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Carlsbad

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Carlsbad on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 19 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carlsbad. 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 Carlsbad. 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 Carlsbad.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
