About: Helloo there! My name is Marjorie, I’m 29 years old. I adore all animals, and enjoy staying active. I’ve owned many pets (mostly dogs and cats) since I can remember and I’ve only grown to adore them and attempt to learn the best ways to take care of them. Whether you want me to check up on your fur baby or take them on a walk while you’re away, you can count on me! If you have any questions/comments/concerns feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from y’all :) Im currently working a remote job with flexible hours, which allows my availability for bookings to be flexible as well. I aim to walk at least 45 minutes a day, adding a fur pal to walk with or go visit would be the cherry on top of my day! I will listen and accommodate to you and your pets needs when visiting your home. You can trust that I want the best care for your babies!
“My dog loves Issis' walks better than he likes mine. He has trained me to walk him like he does. Issis is amazing to him, really cares about him, and spoils him with a few extra minutes. As for me, I love that she's respectful, non judgmental (my home is messy!!), responsible, flexible, accommodating, and she communicates well! The saddest part about moving away from here is that Morgan doesn't get to see Issis anymore. We're very lucky to have met her and she's worth every penny (and then some).”

Madeline was flexible and was able to walk my little girl Aria last minute thing. She was available and kept communication and took pictures. I felt comfortable. Madeline is a trustworthy person. I had to leave, left my house key under that mat. She made my little girl feel safe
Leila did an amazing job caring for Shiloh. She was very communicative, prompt and professional. We completely trusted her coming into our home to feed and walk Shiloh while we were away. Shiloh was so happy and looks forward to us leaving again so he can see Leila again!
I needed my little girl to get walked, last minute thing, and Amy was available. She responded back to me. She kept communication and she followed instructions. I had to step out of my house, and left my key on the side. Trustworthy person. She sent me a picture of Aria going for her walk. My little girls enjoys her walks. I appreciate you Amy for walking Aria. I recommend her as a dog walker
Allen is a friendly and enthusiastic person. His personality meshes perfectly with our high energy boxer! It was our first time using Rover, and Allen did a great job helping us understand what to expect throughout the walk and how to prepare for it as well. We felt our pup was in good hands and will reach out to Allen for services in the future.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Downey is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 21,712 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 Downey. 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 Downey 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 Downey. On Rover:
- 86% 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.
