“Shay was easy to communicate with and our dogs loved him! He came over to meet them ahead of time and learn their harnesses and leashes. He took our dogs on daily walks while we were on vacation, and was able to walk them both at the same time (something I can’t even do!). Highly recommend.”

About: I enjoy fur babies! They are innocent and welcoming to all without judgement. I am big on allowing them to enjoy their life the same way I do mine. We are walkers over here! I love staying active and getting my steps in and pets love their outdoor time meaning we’re both winners! Although I’m not a pet owner just yet, I’m waiting for when I have a more concrete lifestyle security. I fill that void by taking care of other people’s pets. I work a traditional 40 hours a week job and have flexibility in my daily obligations. Including pet care in routine can be integrated without disruption. When I’ve taken care of pets at my home, they receive my attention, love, and a keen eye for their needs. We have tons of playtime when we’re able to. I love spending time with them because in return the love we share is wholesome. Dogs are walked usually three times a day (at wake up, when I get back from work, and a shorter walk before bedtime). I love giving them outside time because I want them to see and enjoy the world just like humans. I also respect the wishes of parents and do my best to mimic their habits that way they and their pet can feel at ease. I am naturally communicative and can adapt with more or less upon request.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child and have had multiple dogs of my own. I’ve been walking dogs for over 23 yrs for my friends, family and neighbors’ dogs and they do currently rely on me when they need their dogs walked and played with, or just spoiled with lots of love and attention. 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️ I currently work freelance so my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty of time to give full attention to puppies or any dogs that require extra or special attention. I have a fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to play with your furbaby. I also take them to the park regularly and can take ur furbaby to the park or dog beach for a day of fun.

About: I’m a true animal lover, they have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to parakeets and fish. Dogs have held a special place in my heart for over 20 years, and the bond I’ve shared with my own has taught me just how deeply pets feel love, patience, and consistency. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who may need extra care, medications, or a little more tenderness and attention. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Clear communication helps ensure the best experience for everyone, so I kindly ask that drop-off and pick-up times are accurate and that you let me know as soon as possible if plans change. Drop-off and pick-up hours are between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Please note: For the safety, comfort, and happiness of all pets, dogs in my care must be fully house-trained and get along very well with other dogs. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend lots of one-on-one time with them. I love giving plenty of cuddles, playtime, and gentle exercise, making sure each pet feels relaxed, happy, and truly at home while you’re away. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood and love taking dogs on easy, enjoyable walks through calm streets or over to a nearby park for some fresh air and fun. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and always follow your instructions carefully. Above all, I focus on keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and happy, making sure they feel loved and well cared for the whole time they’re with me. 🐾

About: I grew up with all different types of animals in the house. We had puppies all the way through senior dogs in my home and my mom had her own pet care business that I often helped her with. I miss caring for pets! I work part-time in a restaurant so I am available often. My shifts tend to not be too long so I'm generally available before and/or after! I am used to having instructions explained in regards to specific care for your pet. I will ensure it is the care they require/deserve. I'm very accommodating and want to make sure the experience of being apart from you is as comfortable as it possibly can be for your pet.

From the very beginning, her communication has been excellent, she provides detailed updates after every walk along with photos, which I genuinely look forward to reading each day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Harley is very comfortable with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Shea goes above and beyond, not only with her attentiveness and reliability, but also through thoughtful gestures like the personalized magnet she made for Harley, which was such a nice surprise. I’m incredibly grateful we found her and will definitely be working with her again. I highly recommend Shea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker.”

About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe one and only if you want me to do so. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Being a Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them for walks, I can play with them, feed them, and take them for poop/potty. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on professional experience in canine care. Growing up with both a high-energy German Shepherd and a friendly Cockapoo mix gave me an early, deep appreciation for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to my personal experience, I spent a year working at Wags and Wiggles, a professional doggy daycare. During my time there, I managed group play, monitored dog body language, handled feedings, and ensured a safe, fun environment for dozens of dogs daily. Whether your pup needs active playtime, attentive supervision, or just a quiet walk, you can trust them to be in safe, experienced hands! Availability Schedule: Monday & Wednesday: 6:00 AM – 12:00 PM & after 4:00 PM Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: After 5:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: Open Availability (All Day) Having spent a year working professionally at Wags and Wiggles doggy daycare and growing up around cats and dogs of all sizes—from a German Shepherd to a Cockapoo—I prioritize safety, security, and clear communication in every client's home. I strictly follow home-entry procedures, keep doors and gates secure, and practice safe, defensive walking practices. I adhere precisely to your feeding, medication, and care routines to keep your pet's environment clean, calm, and familiar, while providing regular photo updates for complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve always been the one for my family and friends to call when they need someone to care for their dog. I don’t mind staying overnights in your home to make sure your fur babies feel safe and loved. I have a special love for senior dogs, I just had to say goodbye to my golden girl. I have the patience for puppies, seeing that I survived my corgi puppy. I have experience in administering meds, even getting the tough pills down. I will keep detailed notes on each dog and exactly what they need. I don’t take pet sitting lightly and I feel lucky to have gained pet parents’ trust when asked to watch their pets. I have so much love for dogs, I hope I’m lucky enough to watch your fur baby. I can make morning calls during the week any time after 8:30am. I’m free all day during the weekends. I can do overnights with 24 hour notice. I will strictly follow the client’s routine with sitting in their home. I know how crucial that routine is to pets. I will not be all routine and no play though. I’ll make sure to have fun interactive things to keeps the pets happy while tiring them out for a goodnight’s sleep.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cota

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cota is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 20,831 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cota. 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 Cota. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Cota after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Cota. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
