“Audrey was wonderful with our little monster dog. She was patient and understanding. Her updates after each walk were much appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.
“Lyndsey was great!. Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”
“Ellyn saved the evening when my absent-mindedness forgot I had an event tonight and Gretel would need a walk and dinner. Always reliable and a real pleasure - Ellyn is so great with my spicy little girl. Thank you Ellyn!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and I don’t rush visits—I take the time to truly connect. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra reassurance. I follow routines closely, keep communication open, and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. My goal is to make your time away completely stress-free. I’m currently working remote part time, so excited to spend my time with dogs outdoors. Throughout the week, I plan my schedule around drop-ins and walks so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I treat every visit as quality time, not just a task, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Pet care keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely brings joy into my day. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, potty breaks, and any training cues you use. I keep the home secure, respect your space, and always leave everything clean and in order.
“Brianna was amazing! Went above and beyond, even offered a meet and greet prior to the walk to make sure everyone was comfortable :) definitely recommend and will be utilizing her in the future!”
“Julie was wonderful with my 3-month-old puppy, Pearl, and took such great care of walking her and feeding her. She was reliable, caring, and gave me peace of mind knowing Pearl was in good hands. I would gladly book her again.”
“Paul saves the day! He’s super reliable, friendly, loves my pooch, he helped me while working long hours. Taking her for walks. I’m training my dog to use the doggy door and he helped me with reminding her to go in and out of the doggie door! Successfully!!”
“Brittany walks my golden weekly and always does a great job! She is punctual, attentive, and a good communicator. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their fur child.”
“Our dog always feels so happy when Lena takes him for a walk! This is the most important review for us!!! Lena, you are the best. Bim loves you soooo much! Thank you a lot!”
“So kind and accommodating! My poor guy was limping and had been stung by a bee and she went and checked on him for me while I had to go into work quickly before taking him to the vet. She sat with him and gave him lots of love and was so nice. Would definitely use her again!!”
About: I grew up with german shepards and currently have 2 cats, Harry and Luna. I walked dogs for 7 years in Chicago and I have experience with all temperaments. Oh and animals tend to trust me quickly. Let’s chat! I have open availability Monday and Tuesday and from 3-9pm every other day. I am a fast communicator, so feel free to reach out and see if we can find a time that works. I can meet your dog’s needs. I have worked with many breeds and behavior types throughout my years walking dogs. I have a soft spot for quirky animals
“Eli did a great job walking Max. Max gets stressed when I leave. Eli is patient with Max and even helps Max eat when normally he wouldn’t because he’s stressed. Grateful for Eli! Will definitely use Eli again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Del Mar
Rachel has been great with our dogs! She’s reliable, communicative, and always sends photos and updates after her visits, which we really appreciate. Our puppy, Harlow, has a lot of energy, and our older dog, Dixie Mae, has a very different pace, but Rachel does a wonderful job with both of them. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re so happy we found Rachel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.
Jianxian (J) has been consistently walking my dog for about a month now and I am so happy I found her on Rover! My dog is very shy and nervous but she warmed up to J immediately. J is reliable and clearly loves dogs. I trust that she will take good care of my dog when taking her out. I highly recommend J!
Fernanda is on point from the start. We had not had a chance to properly make an introduction and her vibes and professionalism with dogs is immaculate. They got along very well from the beginning, and was most generous to help and assist. I was impressed how she could understand my dog very well from the first time meeting. Highly recommended!
Grace has been walking my two hyper and (sometimes) reactive dogs on hour long walks 1x per week. She’s been great with them, and they both warmed up to her so quickly! Grace is always prompt with communicating and her schedule timing. We will definitely be continuing to work with Grace and I’d recommend her to others, too. Thank you, Grace!
Veronika did amazing job taking care of my two dogs, she was prompt and on time , very responsive, and dogs were very happy. I will be using Veronika for walking now all the time. She can also stay at my house next time I am out of town. I highly recommend Veronika’s services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Del Mar on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,203 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Del Mar. 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 Del Mar. 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 Del Mar.

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 Del Mar. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
