“Natalia was so great with my pup Dodger and so accommodating to his puppy needs! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind, Knowledgeable, and patient dog sitter/walker!”

“April is phenomenal! She is very open and listens to the needs of each dog, has excellent communication, and makes sure your pup will have a great and safe time. I was anxious to have a walker, but April put those anxieties at ease and is understanding and trustful. My pup took to her very quickly.”


“Lisa is truly an amazing dog walker! She has been walking my Golden Retriever Willow for over a year and she is always professional, on-time, and very caring. I really appreciate how quickly she answers my requests and the prompt pictures and feedback she sends me from the walks. Willow loves her visits with Lisa and I can't think of anyone more perfect to take care of my pup.”


About: I have over 10+ years experience in caring for animals of all species including dogs and cats. I also volunteer at my local animal rescue/shelter and have a few pets of my own; a mini pig, chinchilla, and 4 birds. I currently work part time for the City of Concord so my schedule is very flexible with open availability. I am available throughout the week. I pay attention to the pets needs, being able to read their body language is very important for keeping them happy and comfortable. Also, making sure their environment is safe for them to be in and that they cannot access anything that could harm them like medications or toxic foods that have been left out.
About: I worked at East Hills Veterinary Hospital for 1.5 years from 2023-2025. I have dog walked and pet sat (both cats and dogs) for neighbors, family, and friends for the past 3 years. My mom is a veterinarian and has taught me how to medicate cats and trim nails on mild tempered cats. I have 4 cats and 3 small dogs at home who I regularly take care of. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and living locally. I have a car and am able to create a specialized schedule based on what my clients need from me. I am flexible with timing and will only be gone for 2 weeks this summer, one at the end of July and one at the start of August. I have three small dogs and four cats at home. I’m used to feeding my pets, changing litter boxes, medicating my pets if need be, and trimming nails for cats - but only if they have a mild temper. I walk my dogs a couple times a week and play fetch with my yorkie Neville. I have a fenced in backyard and like to hang outside with them and read books and let them run around.
About: I’ve had the distinct honor and pleasure to have had 9 dogs over my lifetime. Each one taught me lessons in their own way. Several years back I was a volunteer dog walker for the Humane Society of Sonoma County for 7 years. I learned how to handle dogs of every size and temperament. Ready to get back in the game! I’m retired! Currently walking my own dog but have the time and the love to do so much more! No kids, no job = flexibility For boarding, I have a large, fully fenced backyard and a dog friendly Australian shepherd mix female who loves to play and run with other dogs.
“Paulo was nothing short of amazing! Our high energy pitbull had an accident and hurt her back legs the week prior to leaving and we were so anxious to leave her! Paulo was able to give her the medications she needed with no issues (which she does not have an easy time doing). He was super quick and responsive, answered any questions promptly and sent tons of videos and photos every day he took care of her. He went above and beyond to give us peace of mind and assure us that our dog is in good hands. I cannot recommend him enough and we will absolutely be booking with him again!”

About: About Jovelle: I’ve always loved animals and caring for them. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs and cats on different occasions; I love to walk, play, and give lots of care and attention to the animals that are trusted in my care. They are the best thing in this world, and I would treat your pets like family! About Jodie: I'm Jodie, Jovelle's sister, and I help out around the house with boarding and housesitting that Jovelle is unavailable for. We sometimes work together as a team to provide the best care for your pets! You can rest assured that your pets will be at the forefront of my mind when booking with me. I give all my attention to each gig I have! Every pet is different, with different personalities, temperaments, schedules, etc. Of course I would love to pet, play, and be around your fur baby most of the time, but a lot of animals have boundaries, and I would honor them. If you choose to have your pet stay with us, we have a huge, fenced backyard that is just waiting for pups to play around in. I live in a house with my animal-loving family. They are adverse to getting a pet of our own, but they don’t mind pet sitting at all.

About: Dog and cat lover with life long experience of pet ownership. My friends and family have often relied on me to pet sit and walk for them when needed.

I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule which can allow me to have ample time to walk and play with your pet!

I could just tell by all the photos and video updates I got of her while I was gone she was having a blast!!! She was definitely cared for like it was her own dog! Lisa was loved, cuddled, played, and well taken care of!! I wouldn't chose any other pet sitter then her! 1000000% would check her out! Loads and loads of photos and videos from the visit. Aileen does everything just like you so your doggy feels at home!! Lisa will definitely miss Aileen, and can't wait for her to go back when I need a sitter again!!!!”

About: I have been blessed to live with cats & dogs (and fish and rats too) my whole life! They are so important to me, and I will treat your furry friends with the same love as I do my own! I’m also a Registered Veterinary Technician, who graduated from Carrington College in 2024. I have vast knowledge of health, enrichment, and the well-being of animals. I’m currently available during the week and weekends from morning to day time for pop-ins, and walks, while my schedule is open now! I’m excited about entertaining your animal(s) inside or outside, or on a walk around the neighborhood, while keeping them safe and creating a positive experience for them! I love interacting with all kinds of ages and breeds.
About: I spent my wonderful last 9 years with my border collie x blue heeler mix dog. He joined our family when he was three months so I trained him. He was very energetic and happy dog and needed a lot of exercise every day. He was about 60 pounds so I am used to medium - large size dogs. In his late life, he had multiple internal organ issues so I have experienced giving medicines (oral medications, insulin injection) as well. I used to take him to the grassy area in the park to sit and relax for an hour too. Watching dogs having good lives gives me a big smile. I played a lot with my parents' dog (miniature dachshund) too. We recently welcomed Australian Cattle Dog puppy to our family and he keeps us busy everyday! I also hold an American Red Cross Cats and Dogs First Aid Certification. I can take your dogs to walk to enjoy! I love seeing dogs walking so proud on their walks. I believe walking is one of the best activities they look forward everyday in addition to seeing their owners. I will be happy if you let me make their day happy! Please let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of your dog - trash eater, aggressive towards other dogs, squirrels / cats chasers etc. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have. I am usually available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday between 9:00am and 1:00pm and Wednesday between 9:00am and 12:00pm to walk your dogs but my flexibility depends on days / time so please ask me about it! I mainly serve Walnut Creek, Concord and Clayton areas. I am usually available on weekends. Please do not hesitant to ask any questions! This is not applicable to my service at this moment as I only offer dog walking and drop off visits. I will update this section once I offer other services. Thank you!
About: I love caring for dogs. Short or long walks, playing at the park or in their yard. When they are happy it makes me happy. Feeding time or treats always on owners timeline! I am currently not working so available to be with your pet all day! Feedings, walks, whatever is needed they will feel safe and happy. I like to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will be able to keep them on their daily schedules where they feel safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Clayton 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 .

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 Clayton. 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 Clayton.

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 Clayton. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
