“Olivia was an excellent dog walker. She was on time and communicated with me regularly. My dogs loved her and I could tell they enjoyed the attention she gave them by how happy they were when I got home. She took great pics of them too!”
“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”
“So energetic and sweet. Went above and beyond to give my pup a good walk.Even though Leo is usually shy, he was excited to meet her during meet & greet. Thanks so much!”
“Jenny was quick to respond, flexible and awesome with Ryan. He can be a wild puppy to walk but was great for her. They walked a few miles and two hours. She gave him treats and water on the way. Highly recommend and will use Jenny again! Thanks!”
“Kat is absolutely wonderful! She walked my nervous foster dog, Penny, multiple times and showed incredible patience and intuition with her. Penny can be dog reactive on walks, and Kat handled it with ease while always staying very in tune with Penny’s needs. She genuinely cares about Penny’s well-being and even volunteered additional walking time to support our rescue. The best endorsement is Penny herself. She gets SO excited every time she sees Kat! I trust Kat completely and couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Joseph started walking our big boy, Hunter recently and we are very happy with how he interacts w him. There was a good sense of trust right from the start and Hunter is getting the exercise he needs during a time when we need the help. Joe has been great!”
“Melissa was outstanding and super professional. It was nice not to have to worry about the care of Buddy so I could have space to care for my Mom. Buddy came back happy and exercised. Highly recommend.”
“Nathan is a great walker. He’s got a way with animals. Our dog easily developed a routine with him which is a relief for us when we are at work. We’re lucky we found Nathan!”
“I can't recommend Sierra and Karma enough! They are so great with my pup Ava, they shower her with love, cuddles, enrichment, and exercise. I feel very comfortable trusting them no matter the occasion.”
About: I have had dogs since I can remember and raised a puppy when I was a teenager. I house sit and watch my family and friends dogs often. I have a cat of my own and love her to pieces. I've administered insulin shots to my parents elderly dog and have even taken him to vet visits. I love all animals no matter what shape or size or species. I know leaving your family member in the hands of a stranger can be stressful and I try to make that experience as stress free as possible. I am overly communicative and extremely cautious with your animals! Lots of pics and updates included! I would love to help you with yours! I am currently very flexible and would love to gain long term clients with regularly scheduled daily walks and then move to overnight visits once trust is established and I get to know your animal more! I would not be able to take any pets into my own home. I am happy to walk even your run pups or do mid day check ins for cats or more!
“I didn't get to meet Halona in person, but my wife said she was very nice. Also, she was quick with responses when we were planning the walk for my dog. I will definitely contact her again! Thank you!”
“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”

I just want to give your furry friends lots of love and attention without the expensive price tag! 🐾. I’m available to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and time to relax when needed to. I work from home so I am always available! Your dog safety comes first! I’ll supervise them throughout their stay, our home has a big backyard where they can safely play roam and relax. Everything is tightly fenced off, so no escaping here!
“Stephanie is awesome! My big lab is pretty anxious and excitable around new people and she warmed right up to Stephanie. She is super calm, confident, and obviously an experienced dog handler, and I felt great about sending my big fur baby off with her for an adventure. Will definitely be hiring her again for dog walks!”
“I had to leave town suddenly and was able to book Efraim to walk my dog to fill a gap between two dog sitters. He sent me a picture and I could tell my dog was very happy. Thank you x100!”
About: Hello, my name is Abbi! I would love to help lighten your load and cherish your pets! I have owned cats and dogs. I also have worked as a caregiver for developmentally disabled adults as well as babysitting jobs when I was younger. That being said I am well versed on administering medications and keeping grooming standards. I have a slightly flexible schedule that I hope will be convenient to your pets needs. I’m willing to negotiate. I hope to hear from you and work together soon! I work from home and live in a facility with a fenced in dog park. There are no other animals or children in my home. I like to keep my full attention on any animal in my care whilst they’re awake. I keep animals close by to me so I can monitor them. I don’t keep anything in my home that is hazardous to them.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog in the past and helped care for him by feeding him and taking him on walks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to their routines. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while their owner is away. I always follow the owner’s care instructions and try to keep each pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are taken care of, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets get the attention, playtime, or space they need. I’m respectful of both the pet and the owner’s home, and I’ll provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

Amy was great! She was communicative, responsible, and wonderful with our corgi, Mochi, who can be a little cranky sometimes. She followed all directions and took great care of him on his walks while we were away. We really appreciate her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Amy!
Stephanie is awesome! My big lab is pretty anxious and excitable around new people and she warmed right up to Stephanie. She is super calm, confident, and obviously an experienced dog handler, and I felt great about sending my big fur baby off with her for an adventure. Will definitely be hiring her again for dog walks!
I wanted to write a new review since my last review was in May when I had my first walk by Emily. I wanted to come to rover and give an updated review. Emily is extremely caring and responsive. She gives detailed updates, sends cute pictures and takes really great care of my dog Ronnie (who is high energy and strong). I feel like I always can rely on her and will continue to use her moving forward as one of my dog walkers. thank you Emily for being so great.
We have had wonderful experiences working with Kelly. Our dog hasn’t had much exposure to new people and can be a bit nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to help our dog feel comfortable, and we were so impressed with how quickly trust developed. She was also extremely communicative, keeping us updated and answering any questions we had, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. In addition, Kelly has been very flexible and willing to help us coordinate dog sitting coverage during an important time for our family. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for our dog has truly stood out. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker or pet sitter!

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 Contra Costa Centre. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
