“Chunli was great with our dog, who could be a bit cautious with unfamiliar people, but I could tell he trusted Chunli right away. We appreciate Chunli’s timely updates and pictures a lot , also feel very lucky to have her to take care of our dog while we were not home. Thank you!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. From an early age, pets have been a central part of my life, and for the past five years I’ve been a primary walker and caregiver for my own dog, Luna. That daily routine has made me attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s maintaining a consistent walking schedule, reinforcing good leash manners, or noticing subtle changes in behavior. I’m committed to safe, reliable, and compassionate care. During visits and walks, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and a calm, predictable environment. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels, from shy cats to high-spirited pups, and I tailor exercise, play, and enrichment to match your pet’s age, personality, and routine. I walk my dog in the afternoons and mornings as needed in my household, as well as feed both her and my cat every day! You can expect timely updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. I respect your home and follow all instructions closely, including feeding guidelines, medications (if applicable), crate routines, litter box maintenance, and preferred walking routes. My goals are simple: keep your pet happy and healthy, reduce stress while you’re away, and provide dependable, professional service every time. I will follow your instructions and walk your pups for upwards of 30 minutes per walk if needed! For cats, I will respect their boundaries and focus on providing the best care for them regardless of their demeanor
“Brittany walks my golden weekly and always does a great job! She is punctual, attentive, and a good communicator. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their fur child.”

About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.
“Hanna has been indispensable in caring for our dog the past six months. Today she really went above and beyond with a last minute reschedule of visit times and a less than fun visit with his dietary upset. She is always cheerful and our pup just loves her, as fo we. 😊”
“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”

About: I've been a dog owner myself for many years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. As an active UCSD student-athlete, I love spending time outdoors and can provide dogs with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm responsible, dependable, and experienced in providing attentive care through both my personal experience as a dog owner and my customer service background. I'm comfortable following specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’m an early riser and already spend a lot of time staying active, so I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening walks depending on my class and training schedule. I’m especially available on weekends and can be flexible during breaks or lighter academic weeks. I’m very organized and will make sure I can reliably commit to any walks or visits I agree to, so pet care fits in smoothly with my routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and following all owner instructions closely. I ensure pets are securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to each animal’s needs and behavior. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve had four dogs back in my home state! Taking care of dogs is a joy. Bonus points for the cute ones, they love me! I’m current working part time doing private chef work and have some time and lots of energy to spend with your pup on trails and more! Would love to have a dog myself when my lifestyle permits, for now, I get to enjoy yours… win win ☺️🎾 Plenty of pavement and park land in this beautiful city! Will ensure your dog is hydrated and gets plenty of playtime while under my care!
“This is our first time using Natalyia. We are so happy with her service. She walked our golden retriever, I was so surprised our golden really enjoyed his walks with her. He is a very anxious dog and it takes a lot to calm him . However we were surprised how quickly he got adjusted with her and was looking forward to his walks each and every time. Natalyia is very calm, patient and completely remove all his anxiety and fears.”

About: As a friendly dog walker I will make sure your fur baby’s health and safety is my primary concern. Will go the extra mile to make sure every dog receives a safe and enjoyable walk. You can expect me to be punctual; will always arrive on time and provide an amazing service to the family every time. I am also very thorough with my dog walking service especially if your dog has very specific needs. It is my duty to follow instructions regarding your dog’s health issues, triggers and preferences before beginning a walk. I am more than happy to share photos or videos during our walks together. You can expect your dog to return well hydrated, loved, and cared for after our walking adventures.

“The absolute best dog walker on the planet! Mind, caring and conscientious. Really wants the animals to have a good time. Took excellent care of my pup, amazing communication. Got back to me right away! I’m absolutely so happy to have made a great connection.”

“Funny coincidence, I actually went to school with Steve years ago — great to reconnect here and even better to see how dedicated he is to caring for my Standard Poddle! Steve is punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend Steve.”

Zac works from home and is able to see to the dogs needs throughout the days while Natalie is at work. Before moving in together, we both have had roommates who had dogs and are used to routine of having a dog in the home. We are big dog lovers; we make sure that every dog gets personalized attention. Cuddle sessions, playing with toys, long walks, we do it all to make sure each pup feels loved while away from their humans. We also make sure that their environment is dog-friendly and pet-proofed; we have cozy sleep areas with blankets and low volume environments so dogs aren't overwhelmed. While we don't have a yard, we live close to multiple parks ensuring the pups get good walk time, have a safe place to use the facilities, as well as have opportunities to socialize (if that's what they need). Overall, we very experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages and know that they would have the best time in our cares.
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors, family and friends. I can help with feeding, walks, baths, brushing, dental care, etc. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I can take care of your dogs on the weekends and for shorter periods during the week. I'm happy to discuss with you how much care and play time you would like each day for your pups! I have experience working with anxious dogs and puppies. I want your pups to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Please let me know if you have any specific requests for your dogs' comfort and safety.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats long before I ever had any of my own! In terms of cats, I never owned any, but I was always around cats and foster kittens at others' houses, and love them! I've had my own dog for over 12 years, and I also spend much of my time taking care of larger and elderly dogs (with physical issues) of my relatives. Due to this, I also have experience with walking 1-3 dogs at a time. I love to pick up the speed of a walk, but I can also be patient and cater towards the needs of injured or elderly dogs. I just graduated and I'm back at home before leaving mid-August, so I have a lot time on my hands over the next weeks. My weekends are generally free and so are my weekdays! I plan to offer both walking services and sitting services, in the comfort of the pet's own home. Therefore, I will abide by the rules and desires of the pet's owner, and the of pet of course:)
About: I have a dog at home in California and have taken care of him for my whole life. And I have done pet sitting for around 5 years now. I am free all day every day. And I love walking so I would be happy to walk the dog whenever is needed or makes the dog happy. They will sleep on my room with me. I have no safety hazards for the dog and I will feed when needed and walk when needed!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Carmel Valley is $23
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel Valley
Jianxian (J) has been consistently walking my dog for about a month now and I am so happy I found her on Rover! My dog is very shy and nervous but she warmed up to J immediately. J is reliable and clearly loves dogs. I trust that she will take good care of my dog when taking her out. I highly recommend J!

Fernanda is on point from the start. We had not had a chance to properly make an introduction and her vibes and professionalism with dogs is immaculate. They got along very well from the beginning, and was most generous to help and assist. I was impressed how she could understand my dog very well from the first time meeting. Highly recommended!

Gabi is absolutely wonderful caring for our pets. She walks our dog, Baby J, and also keeps an eye on our two cats, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her care. Baby J clearly adores her, and it’s obvious that Gabi genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She is dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details that matter. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust who takes such excellent care of our pets. I highly recommend Gabi to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter or dog walker.

Veronika did amazing job taking care of my two dogs, she was prompt and on time , very responsive, and dogs were very happy. I will be using Veronika for walking now all the time. She can also stay at my house next time I am out of town. I highly recommend Veronika’s services.

I can’t say enough good things about Filippo! My Goldendoodle was so ecstatic every time Filippo picked him up—it honestly said everything. You can tell my baby boy truly likes him and feels completely safe with him. That kind of trust means the world to me. Filippo clearly has a natural connection with dogs. I really feel like I found a gem in him and wouldn’t trust my Rei with anyone else.
