About: I’ve always loved dogs since I was a kid and grew up around them. I’ve always enjoyed caring for and giving dogs lots of love and attention, even when I see one out in public! I currently have a 60-pound Golden Retriever that I walk three times a day, so I understand the importance of exercise, care, and attention. I’m a full-time college student looking to earn some extra money doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs! I’m mostly available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from around 12 PM until the evening. Starting Friday and throughout the weekend, I have open availability and would love to take care of or walk your pup! I have a safe and caring environment for pets. I understand the importance of keeping dogs supervised, comfortable, and safe at all times. I will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking, routines, and any special needs.

About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always grown up in a household with many different pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, and they often rely on me to pet sit because they know I am responsible, loving, and caring. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them comfortable and safe, and making sure they receive the love, attention, and fun they need while their owners are away! I’m a student athlete, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for boarding pretty much everyday, my schedule can vary depending on my sports schedule which is only a few hours throughout the day, so feel free to send me a quick message with the time you need care, and I can confirm my availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide whatever they need to feel comfortable, whether that means having their own space, being separated from my pets, getting extra attention, or having plenty of playtime. For dogs, I can provide walks, exercise, and trips to the dog park when appropriate. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home and follow their usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.

About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

About: Hello, I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so understanding their behavior, needs, and personalities comes naturally to me. Beyond that, I’ve volunteered in pet shelters, where I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of temperaments from energetic puppies to shy or anxious rescues so I know how to build their trust I’m also trained in dog walking, which means I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and positive reinforcement techniques on every walk. I’m especially comfortable working with puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra care, or medication awareness. Above all, I treat every dog like my own making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, because we all know that’s the hardest part Hello I’m currently trying to go back to school for my masters. So overall my weeks and weekends are available to take care of your pups as long as I can take a few hours to get some studying in. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure while you’re away. That means feeding on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m mindful of keeping their environment clean and calm, and I always respect your home as if it were my own. I will also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands. I just want the pups to feel comfortable and loved so they have the best experience.

About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have my own dog who has been my everything for 14 years now. I have also volunteered for Petco’s Love Cat Adoption Program, which included feeding, cleaning their area, and socializing with various types of cats. In addition, I regularly take care of my neighbors’ cats. I grew up with horses and was a horseback rider for a decade, so I learned from an early age the importance of patience and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I believe every animal deserves love, safety, and care. I’m happy to visit your dog or cat based on their routine and needs. I will gladly send you pictures and updates of your beloved pet. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I am happy to play, pet, cuddle with your pet, and will treat your pet like my own. I am available most days of the week, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. With my flexible schedule, I can provide dependable, attentive care, companionship, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles. I provide personalized care by following your pet's routine, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment, and making their transition into my care as smooth and natural as possible. I will follow your instructions closely while taking the time to understand your pet's needs, preferences, and personality. Whether it's playing with their favorite toy, going on walks, or simply providing companionship, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. In addition, being welcomed into your home is something I view as a major responsibility and take very seriously. While you are away, I will always treat your home with the utmost respect.

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m Karen! 🐾 I’ve always been an animal person, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love. I currently run a pet essentials business focused on helping pet parents find products for their animals, so pet care is something that is truly part of my everyday life. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, preferences, and quirks. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away while also giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. When I care for your pet, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure they receive plenty of interaction and companionship rather than simply being left on their own. For dogs, I’m happy to incorporate walks, playtime, enrichment, and whatever activities they enjoy most. For cats, I love spending time with them, playing with their favorite toys, and giving them attention while also respecting their space when they want some alone time. I currently offer overnight sitting in your home, where I’m respectful of your space and treat your home with the same care and consideration I would want for my own. Before each stay or visit, I’m happy to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and anything else that will help me care for them properly. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your pets are not just being “watched” they’re being genuinely cared for. 🐶🐱🐰💕 Pet care is something that naturally fits into my lifestyle. I currently run a pet essentials business, so animals and their care are already a big part of my day to day life. I’m comfortable structuring my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for and making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, meals, playtime, and companionship according to their normal routine. I’m also very communicative and easy to reach, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you feel informed and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I currently offer overnight pet sitting in the client’s home. I understand that staying in their familiar environment can be much less stressful for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and surroundings. I follow the instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive regular interaction and companionship throughout the day. I’m also respectful of your home and your routines while I’m there. My goal is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away.

I had a fantastic experience with Anika as Kora’s dog walker. Anika was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Before booking, I met Anika and informed her that Kora was not spayed and was currently in heat. Anika was very mindful of this, and she took great care of Kora, ensuring her safety and well-being, even when a stray dog approached when walking Kora around my neighborhood. It’s clear that Anika genuinely cares about the dogs she walks, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Anika, for your outstanding service!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Downey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Downey on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 21,860 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Downey. 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 Downey. 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 Downey.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Downey. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
