About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! p.s. tips are never expected but alwaysss appreciated;) I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
About: Hi! I provide dependable pet care with a focus on consistency, communication, and flexibility. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m able to be flexible and give each pet my full attention. I stick closely to routines, follow care instructions, and make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsive, and easy to work with, I’d be happy to help! I am currently taking time off from working to reset and travel locally. I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals and I am available for overnight stays or multiple check in's through the day. I consistently adhere to the animals current schedules especially when it comes to feeding times and walks to reduce any anxiety while you are away. I am available to pet sit in your home but I am unable to host your pets in my apartment building.

“Dorothy was amazing with our boys and very communicative. We appreciated her timeliness and ability to work with our blind dog. She sent photos and updates and followed our instructions. We would definitely use Dorothy again for our boys.”
About: Hi my name is Alexis I am very friendly with all pets, and I absolutely can’t wait to meet your pup no matter the size or breed I’ve experienced from as small as a chihuahua to as big as a Rottweiler. I am very athletic so I will be able to keep up with your high energy pet. I take care of my sisters German shepherd mix a lot and he is very active. I promise to treat your pup as if he/she were part of my family. I am very very excited to meet you and your pet. I hope you consider me to watch over your little family member. I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working part time 5 minutes away from my house so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pup! There is a small park in my neighborhood and the dog park is also a short walk away so I would take your pup on as many walks as he/she is up for. I don’t have any pets at the moment but I used to have a chihuahua and a Rottweiler I also don’t have a fenced yard or a big backyard that’s why I prefer walking to the park or dog park
“It's always a pleasure to have Maria watch over my dogs!! She genuinely puts a lot of care and love into them. My dogs are a handful, and she is one of the few people I trust who I know can handle them! I highly recommend her!”
“Victoria was available on short notice to walk our dog. She responded quickly, followed the directions perfectly and even offered to bring our sweet girl down to the harbor for a special walk! She gave her long walks & We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have been watching my neighbor's dog, Kona for about 4 years now, whenever they go on vacation. I enjoy taking them on walks, and small adventures to the park to play fetch, or to Cars and Coffee to go meet other 4 legged friends. I am currently going to college at Saddle back 3 times a week. But that also gives me plenty of time to play your all your favorite 4 legged friends. I will always make sure your furbabys are not only entertained, but also well engaged. not to mention, I love to send photos of your pets to you every day i can so that you don't miss them too much.
About: I grew up with dogs (2 poodles and a golden doodle!) and a cat (Siberian) and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years through friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I provide dependable, high-quality care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s long walks, structured routines, or extra attention for anxious or senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work remotely so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets! I am available for walks and care whenever needed. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. I aim to keep your pet’s environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely, while keeping your home clean, secure, and respected. I’m very communicative and provide updates as frequently as you would like.
About: I believe my love for animals and responsible, caring instincts are what set me apart from other pet/home care providers. Caring for your furry beloveds in your absence truly brings joy and is an opportunity to make a positive difference in your lives. What could be better then that? My schedule is very flexible as I strive to establish myself on Rover as a pet care provider of choice. When do you need care for your furry loved ones? Let me know and I look forward to meeting your needs! I love providing a fun, relaxing and safe environment while you are away. In terms of how I do this, I follow each client's directions for keeping their pets happy and safe.
About: The reflection of a person reflects how a domesticated animal will come to be. Thoughts like these make me want to understand more of why we were put on this world. Animals make me happy. They do things so flowingly and naturally and it’s so unique because it’s so simple. They don’t want to do it, they just do it. Each dog and cat all have their quirks and differences which is why they are so special to me being that all animals are special as well. These thoughts and experiences help me into exploring more of what I want to be as a person with animals and how this could help me to become what I aspire in being and beyond. I go to the gym almost everyday about an hour and a half. I go out most of the weekends usually between 2pm to 1am. 3 adults also live in our household and they already take care of most of the pets in our household. Every single moment counts as animals are in every single moment as well since they are being. To this moment I am still learning to understand all of my pets, they all have their differences and that is what I love so much. I have be different with each one. Adapting is such a big challenge for me because it can require a vast amount of patience and effort. Sometimes things will not go the way you want it to and that’s ok. There will always be another moment to try. These thoughts and reasons are what I want to apply when I’m studying new animals and how I can gain their trust.
About: From walking dogs for a dollar in elementary to being a full time ranch hand — taking care of animals of all kinds comes naturally to me! I’m really fortunate to work a job that allows me to be home over half the day! Outside of an ideal work schedule — I also love a very active lifestyle that I bring my own pets (and I’d bring yours) along with! Pets are like family members in my apartment. Although the indoor space is not huge, there is no space off limits to my furry friends and they are always within reach!
“Janet provided exceptional care for Bodhi. Her friendly demeanor and natural connection with our pup put us at ease. Always punctual and communicative, she ensured Bodhi felt loved and well-cared-for. I highly recommend Janet for her reliable and heartwarming dog-sitting services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dana Point
Kyra was fantastic! 5 star, concierge service! Her attention to detail, listening, clear communication, and follow up is amazing. She was so respectful of our home and loved our dog like it was her own. We were so lucky to find her and I’m going to get busy just so my pup can have Kyra time!
I’m so grateful to have found a Elyse on this trip to Laguna. She was so warm and welcoming on the meet and greet that my dog laid down right next to her. She sat for him for an hour today and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! I will for sure book her again if I am in the area.
I would highly recommend Joseph. He’s a natural with our babies and his calm demeanor is helpful for them because our little bulldog can get feisty with other dogs while on leash. Physical strength was a big deal for us as we have a 60-lb Pit/Staffy mix, and a mini (40lb) bulldog & he walks them at the same time, with ease. We’re grateful we found Joseph!
Brooke is THE BEST. I’m not sure how we got so lucky and finding her but she is an absolute angel with Pets completely reliable on time. Good communication, friendly professional. I reached out to her at the last minute and it couldn’t have worked out any better… so grateful and so appreciative! THANK YOU,Brooke!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Dana Point is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $44 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 6,799 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dana Point. 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 Dana Point. 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 Dana Point 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 Dana Point. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
