“Isabelle is fantastic! She’s always punctual, polite and our dog, Lady Belle, absolutely adores her. Isabelle goes above and beyond for our pup. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for my rescue pitbull–mastiff, as well as three years of experience watching and boarding dogs for family members. I’m committed to caring for your dog and to provide my services with care and attention. I am a student and have a part time job, both with relaxed schedules. Please schedule me for your dog walks and I will do my best to fulfill your request. In my home and my client’s home, I make sure that your dog is fed, well exercised, and that your dog is not distressed. I will keep a clean space, I will be attentive to your dog's body language, and make sure to handle pet introductions well.
“Thank you so much Kyle for taking care of my babies!! You did a great job and they were sleepy when we got home which is always a good sign. You are awesome and we appreciate it☺️”
“I highly recommend Victoria as a dog walker. She was prompt, friendly, and professional, asking all the relevant questions to ensure our black Labrador was well taken care of. I had an injury and needed a dog walker at the last minute. Victoria responded to my request within minutes and arrived at my house shortly after. It was an amazing experience, and I will definitely hire her again. She’s awesome!”
“My wife and I needed a dog walker last minute. We also needed someone to come by early. Amy was very professional. She continuously gave me updates on the walk. This was my first time using a hired dog walker and Amy made me and my wife feel very comfortable. We very much appreciate Amy and the effort she took to walk our dog.”
“Kimberely was a blessing to have walk our senior golden retriever, Cali, while we were away on vacation. Cali would get so excited to see Kimberely when it was time for her walks. Thanks again Kimberely!”
About: I’m Lani! 🐾 A lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities! I grew up with dogs and have regularly cared for my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs, including huskies, french bulldogs, english bulldogs, pit bulls, dachshunds, corgis, an aussiedoodle, and my clumsy loving bernedoodle. My approach to pet care is all about positive reinforcement. More than anything, I want your pup to feel safe and happy while you’re away. My schedule fluctuates, I’m a freelance artist, and a lot of my work takes me abroad. However, when I am home my schedule is open for Rover services. Our home has been a lively playground for many dogs. Nearby is a huge park with fields and walking trails for the pups to enjoy.
“Taylor was so great with June. Being an overprotective pet parent, we were looking for a great fit. Taylor exceeds our expectations and we are grateful. We have full faith and trust in Taylor. Thank you, Taylor!”
About: Animals and I have been drawn to each other since I was young. I started caring for them when I was 10, but I always had a love and pull toward them. I've been the go-to person for friends, family, neighbors, and all pet owners to care for all their pet's needs (& wants). I'm a full animal lover who feels in tune to adapt to each animal and understand its unique communication and cues. I've been the person again & again where pet parents say, "Oh, they really like you," "They rarely act this welcoming," or "Wow, they feel comfortable with you!" No one knows a pet like their parent -- so I feel honored each time I get one of these comments! My Pet Sitting Style: First is first, I would love to have a quick call to see if we are a pet-sitting match. And after, meet you and your pet in person before anything else. For coming into a pet's home without its owner, I want to ensure they will be comfortable with me while you are gone. I work remotely, so I can stay with your pet at your home as long as I have Wi-Fi access! I will nurture, feed, play, and care for all your pets needs. And above all, I promise to treat your pets with the same love I would give my own. My work time is split between being behind the computer and in-person meetings, interviews, etc. So while I work from the computer, I can keep your pet company, take breaks to give care and ensure their needs will be met with my priorities. But, I also might be taken for a few hours or more at a time but would be coming back home to your pet/s. When first getting to your home, I will enter just me (without any bags) to ensure your pet is comfortable and secure. I will adapt to the cues they give me, If they want to be left alone, played with, or cuddled! I will take in all care instructions you have given me and make sure your pet is as safe and looked after as possible.
“Daniel has been a great dog walker for us with Stormy. She is worn out afterwards so we really appreciate the hard work!! Would definitely use him again for our fur babies.”

“Andrea was super helpful and responsive. I made a mistake with my address in Rover and she reached out quickly and was very kind about the whole situation. Highly recommend & will hopefully book with her again in the future :)”
About: I am known to work very well with animals no matter what kind. I love catering to a pets needs and look for every sign to know how they’re feeling. Growing up with so many different animal friends has led me to view caring for them as a passion! Because I am fairly athletic and agile, I can keep up with your pet, whether they’re energetic or a lazy bum! Aside from getting the job done correctly I will always make sure to respect you and your pets space. I currently have a part time job that may require me to be away for anywhere between 4-8 hours. I am currently trying to kickstart my own business doing beauty treatments since I finished school. This and animal caretaking will be of an equal priority. At the moment, I live with my parents and elderly dog. Molly, our dog, tends to snap when she gets confused or frustrated, so many of the difficult duties have been passed down to me. This is because I’ve learned how to establish trust with her. I have had many pets throughout my life and have always prioritized their comfort and safety.
About: My love for pets stemmed from a young age. I grew up owning many dogs and I now currently own a handsome cane corso who I rescued. I had been a Vet assistant for a little more than 3 years, working with all kinds of dogs and cats from various ages. I also have plenty of experience with pets who may need a special diet, medication, or routine ! Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my vet assistant job not too long ago due to me leaving for the military. I’m available whenever and anytime as I am always free now. Needed something more flexible for the time i’m still here ! I have pet sit for clients in their home before, many clients from my last hospital would need pet sitters and my team and I always would lend a hand. I have also cared for many friends and families pets as well while they are away. I always follow the needs of your home and pet !

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dana Point
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!
Andrea is absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is safe and happy. She provides excellent communication and updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.
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!

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 .

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 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 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 Dana Point.

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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
