“When Katie came to pick Oakley up for her first solo walk, Oakley soiled her playpen for the first time ever! Even though I’d only been gone about 4 hours she had diarrhea and couldn’t hold it. Kaitrin calmly cleaned up the mess, thought to remove the paper towels she used to clean up, took Oakley out to play, then returned her to the clean playpen and texted me to let me know what happened! Clearly this was a completely unexpected complication and Katie handled it perfectly! I’ve hired her to walk Oakley while I’m recovering from surgery and am very happy with my decision!”
About: Hi pet parents! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animals like absolute royalty while you’re away, I’m your girl. Growing up around animals, my love for them runs deep—seriously, I love all kinds of animals. But what really sets me apart is a mix of high energy and endless patience. I'm naturally super active, so if you have a high-energy dog who needs long walks, a solid jog, or endless playtime to burn off zoomies, I’m your person. At the same time, I have tons of patience. Whether your pet is an anxious rescue, a senior who needs a slower pace, or just a little stubborn, I always keep my cool and meet them right where they are. When you book with me, you get a sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and obsessed with making your pets happy. Expect plenty of photo updates and total peace of mind while you're out! I’m currently working part time and at home! I’m fully working on my own schedule which makes watching pets a breeze! Can’t wait to meet your pets! My house is three stories with a patio. I live right next to multiple parks. We have a very lively pet loving community with tons of supervision and pet cameras for the house.
About: I have been a nurse for 22 years. I am in school again and at home with my 17 lb dog all the time. I have cared for dogs my whole life and taken care of my friends dogs while they travel for as along as I can remember. I have a large fenced in back yard and a dog door. I am easily able to handle medication and medications schedules. My dog loves to play with other dogs and I am hoping to find regulars who would like frequent care so she can have her friends over! I am in school full time via an online program so I am home a tremendous amount. There will be a few days a week that I go into a clinic for 8 hours but most days and nights I am home. We go on nightly walks as well. There is a large fenced yard and in general the back door is open and my dog goes in and out as she wishes! I am very flexible!
About: I have spent my whole life around animals of all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of various dog breeds, cat breeds, reptiles and more! I’m a big animal lover with a huge heart. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes from Great Danes to Chihuahuas, indoor and outdoor kitties, horses, birds, snakes, fish, etc.! I’ve also provided special care for senior pets. I’ve also dealt with my fair share of temperamental pets/animals, they just require a special touch and some patience! Just a heads up: my typical full time job work schedule is Mon-Fri 7am-3p, but I occasionally work Tues/Thurs until 7:30pm. Thank you for your consideration! I work full time Mon-Fri 7a-3p, so I am mostly available on afternoons and weekends. I am currently also coaching soccer for my local high school. I am volunteering to do that a few days a week. I am very attentive and prioritize safety. I have been told I am kind of a helicopter mom to my little sisters and the same goes for animals! Being around animals has always been very comforting for me, getting outdoors for walkies is a bonus!
About: I have hands-on experience with puppies who need routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from slower walks and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable with administering medication, sticking to detailed routines, and making sure pets feel safe in their own space. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m flexible and dependable, able to provide regular visits, walks, or overnight care as needed. My schedule allows me to dedicate focused time to each pet, whether it’s for feeding, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or simply giving attention and companionship. I prioritize consistency so pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet while caring for them in their own home. I follow all instructions closely, keep their space clean, and monitor pets for any signs of stress or health changes. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and ensure pets feel secure and comfortable throughout my visits. My calm, attentive approach builds trust with both pets and their owners, so you can feel confident your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands.
“Amanda was great. I needed a last minute dog walker as I was leaving for a work trip and she was immediately responsive and was able to connect with my neighbor to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using her in the future, as needed, and would highly recommend.”
“Merrill kept our German shepherd very happy in our absence by walking her and giving her lots of TLC. Thank you, Merrill, for letting us take our trip without worrying about Emma's wellbeing, and for making her time with you fun! We appreciated the updates and photos. Next time we need dog-sitting services, we won't hesitate to be in touch, and Emma will be very happy to see you again!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets! I love snuggling with my dog and giving her love. I’ve watched my friends’ dogs, cats, and even collected some chicken eggs! I’m more than comfortable with animals and taking care of them. During the school year I take classes at the local Junior College a few times a week. During the Summer months I’m working on improving myself through hobbies at home. I take caring for my friends’ animals very seriously. It’s important that your pet is healthy, happy, and cared for even when you’re not around to.
“Abbie is the most talented dog walker and our dogs love her! She is caring, extremely knowledgeable about dogs and sends photos and notes letting us know how our fur babies are doing— making our lives better knowing our dogs are under such love and care! I highly recommend Abbie! ❤️”
About: I worked at a animal boarding/daycare for over a year I have my own two amazing dogs at home I dog sat for 2 years I currently work at Sonoma State. Weekends I have off and I can make my own hours at my campus job. I also am a full time student at Sonoma State but I am always able to make time for friends, work, schoolwork, and extra curriculars! I make sure my dog is well fed throughout the day and always play and give cuddles I take my own dog on walks 2 times a day when I am at home. When taking care of your dog I will make sure to follow all instructions that I was given and will never neglect your dog.
About: I have always been good at training dogs, I have a 9 year old dog of my own and I love taking him on walks. I understand the attention needed in both puppies and senior dogs, and I have been told that I do well with both of them. I treat animals of all ages the same, using different levels of energy that suits the animal. I can offer unprofessional dog training, and I work at a vet hospital so I understand the importance of an animal’s diet and medications. I am currently in school locally at the SRJC taking remote classes and I also do volunteer work with The Marine Mammal Center 4:30PM-11PM on Wednesdays, and Forget Me Not Farm 12PM-1PM on Thursdays. I also work as a kennel assistant taking care of animals at a veterinary clinic, 7AM-4PM Friday-Sunday in Healdsburg. Working with animals is my dream, I want to be a veterinary researcher, this is how I can work closely with animals in my current stage. My school hours are flexible and I can do it from anywhere! I love making sure that animals are comfortable, I will ensure house rules are in place, and I am excellent in dog training. I love to spend time with the animals even when not required.
“Bear and I really like her! She’s reliable, communicative, and I feel comfortable having her care for him while I’m away. I’ve noticed Bear is noticeably calmer on the days she visits, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I’m really happy we found her!”
“Sebastian did a fantastic job walking my dog! He was professional, reliable, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I highly recommend Sebastian!”
About: I have been around pets since a baby, I love all animals and am patient and loving. I recently took care of two litters of puppies in Mexico and have been assisting my local town there with vaccinating and spaying pups I am currently unemployed and would love the chance to take care of a furry friend! I have a car and am happy to take care of and hangout with a new friend I can bring a crate if necessary, I have experience walking pups on leashes and feel comfortable with that. I have been training pups recently and am happy to work with yours!
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and rabbits my entire life. I’ve had special needs cats that require specialized care including giving fluids to a kitty with kidney disease. I’m educated in what to look for indicating signs of illness and am comfortable and experienced giving medications. I am self-employed so my schedule revolves around whatever pet sitting, dog walking or other services I have scheduled. I am not available to provide constant care at your house. I would be in and out all day because of dog walking and drop in visits. If you need a sitter to be at your house 15+ hrs a day please look for a sitter that can accommodate your needs. I have dogs and cats of my own, so I generally only pet sit for rodents and cats that I can keep in a separate part of my home. Dogs would have to have a pre-care meeting with my animals to make sure that they get along.
“I'm so pleased with the great service! Dog people for sure and was the perfect match for a shy little doggy! Monkey really bonded with David. Thanks so much for taking great care of him!”
About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, including caring for three dogs in one household and two dogs in another. I was responsible for their daily care and making sure they were safe, fed, exercised, and comfortable. Managing several dogs at once taught me how to stay patient, attentive, and organized, even when they were energetic or had different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would treat every pet in my care like they were my own. I only have a college class twice a week for only one hour of my day and I have a part-time job that is only certain days of the week. Rover will be the perfect fill-in for all that extra time that I have, and I will always put my customers first. I live in a very mellow neighborhood where there are also many dogs around me where people are walking their dogs and having them on leashes, I live in an apartment that is very dog friendly and I will spend all of my time taking the dog or taking it out on the grass, we do have a dog area at my apartment.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was fifteen, but I have had different animals all throughout my life. From birds, to cats, and dogs of all sizes I have had a lot of personal experience. Some of my duties included feeding, walking, bathing, grooming (for personal pets), and attention to medical needs. I have a big heart for pets and wish to give them care and support as they do us! I don’t currently have any pets, but I do tend to dog sit for my aunt. I currently work as a caregiver and for an after school program for youth. On my days off, I would love to help with pets. As stated above I don’t currently have a pet of my own, but for my aunt’s dog I take him on walks, feed him, keep him hydrated (especially with summer bringing in heat), there’s always play time and he gets a bath before he goes back home. I am very open to all needs of both the pet and the owner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cotati
Krista was amazing! She was very attentive, always on time, and Rosie absolutely loved her. She always sent detailed updates about how each walk went and included lots of wonderful photos of Rosie. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so happy I found Krista! She made me feel comfortable and confident that Rosie was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️
I honestly don’t think 5 stars is high enough, I wish I could give more. We LOVE Lexi! She’s so knowledgeable about dogs in general and is perfect for our pup, Roxy. They go for runs and Roxy actually comes back tired, which we’ve found is really hard to do with such a high energy dog! Lexi is also very attuned to Roxy and her leash reactivity, which we really appreciate. She’s super flexible and accommodating, and takes the best pictures!! Just an all around great person and dog walker. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Blake was so sweet w our Hobie! She came by to meet him prior to our booking and stayed in communication w/us. Was timely and sent a few pics while on his walk. Sent us notes on the visit and made sure he was comfortable and secure before leaving. Thank you, Blake!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Cotati is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $56 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 1,830 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cotati. 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 Cotati. 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 Cotati 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 Cotati. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
