“Sophia is wonderful! Whittaker loves walking with her. She’s timely in her communication and follows our instructions. Even when we had to change plans for a schedule change and instructions later due to Whittaker having an injury she was flexible and willing to accommodate.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was younger, i am patient and familiar with stubborn pets and the lovable bulldozers. Just waiting for the right time to take car of my own. I am a reservist so one weekend a month I will be occipied. My work schedule is fairly flexible but please contact me so we can discuss scheduling expectations. I make sure the pet is in comfortable and secure areas of the house. I make sure to always have the leash on before opening doors for walks. If there's a yard I make sure the fences are in good condition and safe from obvious dangers.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

About: I'm reliable and have cared for a wide variety of dog sizes and ages. I have cared for senior dogs and other dogs with special care requirements. I'm available to take care of any pets any day of the week at your house. My two dogs are not guaranteed to get along with yours and they are both adverse to new people so I cannot host any pets. I can do overnights at your house as my pets have other carers in the house. I greet your dog when I see them, let them outside if that's an option or go for a walk immediately. I will feed them, refill their water bowl and play with them. We will go on a walk if not already done. I make sure they have enough water and pets before I leave.

About: Responsible dog lover with experience caring for rescue dogs and elderly dogs! Need help with your fur-baby? I love dogs and have experiencing walking dogs, fostering shelter dogs, and house sitting. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages and will reinforce any behavior training you and your dog are working on. I’m organized, caring and very responsible. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am a travel PT with a love for animals but move around too much for work to have my own pets t the moment. I work outside of the home so I can accommodate morning and evening walks/potty breaks and evening cuddles! I prefer to care for your pets in your own home (house sitting and drop-ins, not boarding or day-care), as the environment is familiar and it makes everything less stressful for them. I ask for detailed instructions on any routines and schedules your dog is used to and any behaviors you want me to reinforce to make the transition as smooth as possible for your pet.
“Amy is everything you hope for when choosing someone to care for your pets. Amy provided walks for our energetic young lab, and went above and beyond in her care. She was reliable and communicative, consistently checked in, and sent lots of photos and updates. She was very attuned to Maggie and her surroundings and noticed when even little things were off. We really appreciated her thoroughness and thoughtfulness and will use her again without hesitation. Thank you Amy!”

She did a great job taking care of Cody while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the walks. Cody warmed up to her quickly, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated the care she showed and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
I used Ashley for several months for weekly dog walks with my dog Murphy and she was wonderful! Very easy to communicate with, flexible and very reliable! She took great care of Murphy and he looked forward to seeing her every week! I highly recommend Ashley!
Regina has saved our tails now on multiple occasions. I recently and regrettably booked with other pet sitting site for a long term sit and found out they weren't fulfilling their responsibilities to walk our dog. I was out of state and felt completely helpless. Regina stepped in when I needed her. My dog loves her and she put me completely at ease during a stressful situation. We love her and couldn't recommend her enough!

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 .

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 Central Valley. 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 Central Valley.

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 Central Valley. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
