“Chunli was AMAZING! Will definitely be a repeat customer. She was punctual, kind, and confident with my 50lb , 8mo energetic puppy, Ember. She was attentive and gave me detailed updates on each walk. She even took some great pics of Ember that I'll be printing. Thank you, Chunli.”

“So kind and accommodating! My poor guy was limping and had been stung by a bee and she went and checked on him for me while I had to go into work quickly before taking him to the vet. She sat with him and gave him lots of love and was so nice. Would definitely use her again!!”
“Brittney to the rescue! She was super accommodating to us being first time Rovers. She communicates very thoroughly and thoughtfully. Our little doggo was super happy to have her come take him for a quick walk, pee, & poop. Thank Brittney for taking care of our pets so well. We can tell you really love animals of all types.”

About: I’ve had and taken care of a dog all my life and trained my current dog from 3 months old. I genuinely try to connect with any dog I meet and love them as my own. Most importantly, I teach/train/direct dogs by validating them with praise and love I’m currently at home most of the day and can have variable and spontaneous availability. With that, I can be available quickly and at short notice I am interactive and attentive - I try to figure out their needs and then meet them. I pet them, play with them, and show them attention. I train or teach them by validating them with goodness and love
About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.

“Brynn is awesome! We booked her at the last minute and she was more than accommodating to take care of our Jake! She came over to meet Jake before their first walk which went above and beyond and treated him like her own. My wife and I loved the text and picture updates and she is a great communicator. We will definitely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone to take care of their dog.”
“Patty is so thoughtful in taking care of my dogs and making sure they have a great walking experience. She is always very communicative as well which is much appreciated.”

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.
“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.”

“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 am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

About: “I’ve been caring for my own three dogs for over 13 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding, walking, grooming, and basic training. Over the years, I’ve learned how to understand different dog personalities, recognize their needs, and make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and treating them like part of my family. I am currently working part time. I am available to provide pet care every day — morning and afternoon — including walks, feeding, and playtime. “In my home, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I provide a clean, cozy space, fresh water, regular feeding, and plenty of playtime and walks. I follow each owner’s routine closely to make pets feel right at home and keep them happy and relaxed.”
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.

“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.”

About: With over 20 years of experience, Natalie & Zac are the perfect hosts to house and watch over your furry besties! From caring for our own pets, to fostering senior dogs, we are well equipped to give your pets a fun, loving, secure stay. Natalie is a nurse and Zac is an engineer, who can occasionally work from home every other Friday. Natalie and Zac both now work M-F, 9-5pm (this corporate life is new for us). We are happy to take care of your pups needs before or after work, or on weekends. 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.
“Halle was great! Willing to help us out when we realized last minute that we would need a daily dog walker during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and trustworthy. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pups for many years, and the only reason I don't have dogs of my own... is because of my two cats I am between jobs at this time, therefore I am very flexible with my time. In the long run will continue to work around it to make sure your pets are taken care of. I will not be able (at this time) to take care of pets overnight in my own home. Will work in / around your home.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Carmel Valley is $23

Chunli is exceptional at caring for our German Shepard Baxter, who can sometimes be a handful. He loves being taken care of by her and is very happy when he is with her. She is always punctual and very professional. We have complete peace of mind when we leave town and know Chunli will be taking care of Baxter. She is the best and I can recommend her without hesitation.
We had the pleasure of having Anastasia watch our furbabies this past weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier! She was very communicative, thoughtful, and helpful throughout the entire stay. She asked great questions about their care, including things I may have forgotten to mention in my instructions, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Our dogs had a wonderful time with her, and we truly appreciate the care and attention she gave them. Thank you so much, Anastasia!
Rachel has been great with our dogs! She’s reliable, communicative, and always sends photos and updates after her visits, which we really appreciate. Our puppy, Harlow, has a lot of energy, and our older dog, Dixie Mae, has a very different pace, but Rachel does a wonderful job with both of them. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re so happy we found Rachel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.

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!
