Your baby will be in good hands with Temi. He's a great walker and friend to the dogs. My dog is sometimes timid, but he took right to Temi. I would definitely use his services again.

About: For nearly 20 years, caring for pets has been a natural part of my professional caregiving experience. I've also had the privilege of caring for clients of RxTra Care Pet Sitting & Services, PetCare with Love LLC, and currently Pawmunications, entrusting me with the care of pets of all ages, personalities, and care needs. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a multi-pet household, my goal is to keep their day as consistent and stress-free as possible. I believe the best pet care starts with communication. I take the time to learn your expectations, your pet's routines, and the little details that make them feel safe and comfortable. Every visit is tailored to your pet, because no one knows them better than you do. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine oral medications, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and caring for multi-pet households. I'll also provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is simple: for you to come home—or finish your workday—to happy pets and the confidence that everything was exactly as it should be. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, allowing me the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and be available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks. My availability is updated regularly, so if you have recurring or long-term needs, I'd love to chat! Because I'm caring for your pets in the environment they're most comfortable in, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and respecting both your pet's needs and your home. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, preferences, medications, and any household routines that are important to you. During each visit, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, double-check collars and harnesses before walks, and provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I have experience raising and caring for dogs, including my neighbor’s Labrador Retriever, Max. Over the years, I’ve ensured Max stays happy, healthy, and well-loved by providing regular feeding, grooming, and daily walks. I also enjoy teaching commands and engaging Max in fun activities to keep him active and mentally stimulated. Caring for Max has deepened my understanding of canine behavior and strengthened my passion for providing excellent pet care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule as I am usually available in the afternoons. This allows me to dedicate quality time to meet pets' needs, including walks, playtime, feeding, and other essential care. My flexible afternoons ensure I can provide consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for the pets I look after. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort and routine to minimize stress. I ensure their environment is safe, secure, and clean, paying attention to any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. I follow the pet’s daily routine, and I provide plenty of love and attention to ensure they feel comfortable. I also keep the home tidy and respect the client's space, ensuring their pet receives the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped care for our two family dogs whenever needed. Walks, feedings, playtime, you name it. Now I have my own puppy, who I have been raising for 8 weeks old, so I know all about the energy pups need. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. I AM available after 4:30pm just reach out and let me know if you need availability on the weekends! I WFH 4 times a week, Thursday I am not home. I am around for walks, potty breaks, and feeding. I love going to the dog parks after work to make sure they get the physical excersize they need. I always treat the pet with respect, making sure they get the space they need while also giving them the attention they need. I always make sure the pet feels at home, by keeping their routine. I thoroughly follow any instructions provided by pet parent such as feeding, exercise, medication, etc… I have my own puppy therefore the pet will never be alone.

About: Hi my name is Amanda, I am a recent graduate. I’m a huge animal lover and I’ve had experience pet sitting and caring for animals for about 4 years now. I’ve had a fur baby of my own named Leo who sadly passed from epilepsy. I am responsible and will treat your pet like it is my own. I will update you frequently on how your pet is doing and respond quickly to any questions you may have. It is my pleasure to get your services set up so that your fur babies can experience outstanding care while you are away. I would love to welcome your furry family member! I currently work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate pet care requests. I’m off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, making me available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, or daycare. On Fridays, I work from 4:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and am available for visits and walks after my shift. Saturdays are wide open, making them perfect for daytime care, walks, or date-night sitting. On Sundays, I’m available after 6:00 p.m. for evening visits or walks. If your requested time falls outside of my listed availability, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if I can make it work! I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of green space for potty breaks and outdoor time. I'm also just a 3-minute walk from Monte Irvin Park, where dogs can enjoy longer walks, exercise, and fresh air. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment and always follow each pet's routine and any instructions provided by their owner. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, feeding, or medication (if needed), I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hello, I’m Kayla. I live in Nj. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week, and have plenty of time to hangout and get to know my new furry friends. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. i’ve never met a dog or cat I didn’t love. I’ve had about over 7 years experience of not only taking care of my pets but also friends and family. I have also fostered kittens. I have taken care of dogs from as small as my dog and as big as huskies. I promise to care and love your furry family as my own and have a grand time. During the stay Make sure your furry friend is comfortable and feels safe. We walk around the neighborhood and go to any near by parks. I will send photo updates. Requested Info Just any tips or things i need to know about them to make sure everything goes great this is what i want to be my job so it’s the only thing i focus on so i have a super flexible schedule for taking care of all the fur babies. I care for the pets in my home just as if they were my own with care and love and attention and just making sure that they are comfortable and don’t feel uneasy and constantly working with them to gain their trust and make them feel safe. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is completely open and free to do whatever I want with my time so i have plenty of time to get to know and hangout with my new furry friends. and i’m also attempting to try to do this full time so i’m very serious about my animal care and just want them to be comfortable, happy and have a great time. I also don’t really have a set schedule I usually just base the schedule off of the owners set schedule. I take care of your fur babies just as if they were my own and make sure they are comfortable and are not afraid of anything. I’ll make sure they feel safe and can trust me and usually if you have a set schedule I try to stick to that to not throw them off and I am very patient and welcome all. I’m also a dog trainer in training so whatever training work that you are working on with your dog I will implement in walks and just are all around house and anything you may want your dog to learn I can attempt to teach them for however long they are here. If the pups were to ever not get along there is a gate middle of the place and can be closed if need be.

He was reliable, communicative, and took the time to understand Talc and make him as comfortable as possible. We were especially happy to hear such positive feedback about Talc’s behavior while we were away – it showed how well Tom connected with him. We’ll certainly be reaching out again next time we need a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker for Talc. Thank you!

FAQs for Dog Walking - City Of Orange

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in City Of Orange on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 28,292 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across City Of Orange. 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 City Of Orange. 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 City Of Orange.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in City Of Orange. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
