About: I grew up with a rescued Shih Tzu terrier mix and realized how much love someone could have for a pet. I promise to care for your dog as if it were my own. I have playful personality and that flows into how I interact with animals. I’m currently working full time remote so my schedule has flexibility to meet your needs. I live a very active lifestyle so your dog will have all the walks they deserve! I adapt to the environment I’m in so your dog will feel comfortable while you’re away under my careful watch. You can trust that they will be kept leashed and safely out of harms way at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could remember! From taking care of neighbors dogs while they were on vacation in the summertime when I was younger to now! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes my entire life. Chihuahua to Saint Bernard, I love them all :) I’m currently working full time, but WFH so I’m always looking forward to going on a walk middle of the day or just all in all getting out of my apartment for a bit! I can help out either before work, around lunchtime, or after most days. I never try to push the boundaries with what a dog might be comfortable with! I understand that I’m a stranger to them and can’t fault them if they are a bit wary at first! For dog walking if there are any places in the area you’d like for me to avoid, just let me know! Maybe parks aren’t their favorite, that’s okay we can walk in a neighborhood. Or maybe they are reactive at the beach, we can try the park, etc! Please just communicate with me any possible roadblocks and I’ll try my best to accommodate so they can have a good time as well.

About: I’ve been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, so they’ve always had a special place in my heart. A few years ago I became a cat mom to two Bengals, and they completely converted me into a cat person too! Having loved both dogs and cats, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like they’re family. Whether your furry friend loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or just a calm, comforting presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱✨ I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. This allows me to easily adjust my availability as needed and accommodate around your needs. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of playtime and attention, so they feel loved and engaged. I'll also ensure they are always fed on time with the right food, and their living environment will be kept clean and well-maintained, so they stay comfortable and healthy!

About: For many years, I’ve taken care of pets for clients, friends, and family. I love hanging out with animals, and enjoying the unique personalities of each pet! My daily schedule is very flexible, so I am often able to make availability any time you need. Available for daily drop-in care, or overnight care in your home. I will take care of your pet however you see fit, according to your preferences. I unfortunately do not provide care in my own home, as my cat has made it clear she prefers the home to herself.

About: Hi, I’m Felipe! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for rescue dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Through that experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and the patience needed to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Why pet parents trust me: • Experienced with rescue dogs and cats of all ages and personalities • Reliable, patient, and easygoing • Comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels • Focused on safety, routine, and positive experiences • Long walks, playtime, companionship, and daily care • Regular photo and message updates • Treat every pet with care, respect, and attention What you can expect when you book with me: • Reliable , attentive care • Regular updates and photos • Consistent routines and attention • Exercise, play, and companionship • A safe and positive experience for your pet I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, safety, affection, exercise, and a calm, positive environment. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind when you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy building routines around pet care. Daily walks, exercise, feeding, playtime, and making pets feel calm and comfortable are already a big part of my everyday life with my own rescue dogs and cats. I’m reliable, punctual, communicative, and committed to giving every pet consistent attention, care, and affection. Whether your pet needs an active walk, companionship, or a calm and patient sitter, I always make their safety and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and calm energy are extremely important to me when caring for pets. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and secure. I have experience caring for rescue animals and understand the importance of patience, structure, supervision, and positive interactions. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, closely monitor pets during walks and visits, and treat every home and animal with respect, reliability, and care as if they were my own family.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life! Growing up, my family had three Shih-Poos, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a Cavapoo of my own, which has given me plenty of hands on experience with puppy care, training, walks, playtime, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply a friendly check in while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care! I’m primarily available on weekends and have the most flexibility for walks and drop ins throughout the day. I work in office during the week, but can be available for evening and nighttime walks on weekdays when needed. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pup gets the time, attention, and exercise they need! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pup safe and secure during walks, and provide pictures and updates so there’s no need to worry on how your pup is doing!

Chloe is everything you hope for in a dog walker. She’s caring, punctual, and truly makes the most of every minute based on your dog’s energy level. Our six-month-old Siberian husky has endless energy, and Chloe matches it with real engagement — not a distracted stroll. I’ve seen other walkers glued to their phones; Chloe is the opposite: fully present, attentive, and genuinely invested. Your pup is in good hands.

Some nights if not at my job which is usually 4 nights a week. I am also available after work 10pm on certain occasions. I plan on taking your dog on walks, or outside.. depending on what you prefer. I love going on walks and hanging out with pups for however long needed!

About: I’m the kind of person who greets the dog before the human. Hi! My name is Amerys, but you can just call me Am and your furry family can call me “woof”. ☺️ I have had my own wonderful pups and kitties most of my life, have worked in a veterinary hospital, dog boarding facility and have been walking and caring for dogs for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. Whether your pup loves long walks, slow sniff-filled adventures, energetic games of fetch, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of positive attention. No breed is too big or too small, I enjoy getting to know every dog’s unique personality and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a neighborhood walk, or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and earning the approval of your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently in online graduate school for pharmacy, so I complete my coursework from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day and night and provide attentive, around-the-clock care for your pet. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate regular walks, frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, medication times, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of individual attention. Because I am home most of the time, I can closely monitor your pet’s behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, and overall comfort. I understand that being away from their family can sometimes make pets anxious, so I do everything possible to keep their routine familiar, calm, and comforting. Whether your pet enjoys staying active, relaxing beside me while I study, sleeping in my bed, or simply having someone nearby, I will adjust my day around their individual personality and needs. When your pet stays with me, they are treated like a member of my family—not simply another booking. Their safety, comfort, health, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, allergies, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, behavioral needs, and any household rules you would like maintained. I am also happy to continue any training commands or routines you use at home so your pet has as much consistency as possible. I am home most of the day because I attend graduate school online, which means I can provide frequent supervision and around-the-clock care. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, walks based on their age and energy level, fresh water, meals served on schedule, playtime, affection, and plenty of opportunities to rest. I never force interaction and allow each pet time to settle in and become comfortable at their own pace. I always introduce animals carefully and supervise their interactions. I can provide separate areas when pets need personal space, quiet time, separate feeding, or a slower introduction. I can also care for them in your home through walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I have a good-sized patio with grass for convenient potty breaks and fresh air, while still providing regular walks and exercise. Pets are welcome on my furniture and in my bed, but I also have a crate available when requested by the owner or when it is already part of the pet’s normal routine. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital and have cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and medical needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, mobility, or energy. In the event of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your preferred veterinary instructions. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so communication is very important to me. I will provide regular photo and video updates, along with honest information about how your pet is eating, sleeping, playing, and adjusting. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is safe, loved, supervised, and receiving the same thoughtful care I would want for my own animals.

About: Pet sitter in Newport. Quite new to Rover with little experience here now, but I’ve also looked after my own pets always. I’m reliable and calm. I rescued my cat after she was abandoned by ex neighbor and she’s a happy indoor cat now. Flexible schedule and I can come any time of the day. Available most days. Newport Beach, working mainly locally. Send me a message, thank you. For boarding I’m often home during the day too, but sometimes out. Let me know how anything specific you’d like me to do. I will take care of your pets and make sure they’re happy, safe and healthy.

Caroline was extremely communicative before we met as we were setting up our walk! We appreciated her thoughtful questions about our dogs in advance of the walk. We treated this first time as a meet and greet and walked the neighborhood together. Caroline did a nice job with both our dogs - who are big pups - and they immediately took to her! She was very observant and asked really thoughtful questions about our dogs, their tendencies, and their behaviors while we walked through the neighborhood and also was proactive and comprehensive in asking about other dogs (and owners) in our community. We're looking forward to working with Caroline in the future!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Costa Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Costa Mesa on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,097 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Costa Mesa. 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 Costa Mesa. 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 Costa Mesa.

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 Costa Mesa. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
