About: From a young age, it has been my nature to care and share a bond with dogs. As an adult, I have given the best life to my dog Scooby, who is now 15 years of age. He has taught me so much about caring and loving for a dog. Scooby and I go on long walks, and I see the joy he gets from them. It's the highlight of his day. I would like to share this joy with your pet too! I work evening shifts Monday - Wednesday, so I have all morning or afternoon to take a refreshing walk with your fur baby. I have Thursday and Friday and Friday off, which makes me available anytime of the day for another enjoyable walk! I have the upmost respect for people and their personal space. Just let me know how I can help, plus any boundaries, and I'll be sure to do the best I can!
About: I've grown up and taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. From family to friends I've been able to watch, walk, play, take care, and feed everyone's pets. I have my own dog named Dexter who is a 5 year old Dachsund mix. He was rescued from a breeder/hoarder house in Riverside and in the beginning he was very anxious, shy, timid, and afraid of people. Now my boy is happy, enjoys cuddling, and is able to be around people that love and care about him. I'm currently waiting on training for a full time job in July so right now my schedule is open from Monday to Saturday. Besides caring for my own dog who is super friendly with other dogs my schedule is open at the moment and will work with people's schedule to give their dog the care and attention they deserve. I currently live in an apartment with a patio and in the back is a grass yard for everyone to share. I always make sure my dog has his walks everyday and sometimes I'll take him to the dog park which he loves. Give him his breakfast and dinner as scheduled. Clean his ears as well as bathe him when its needed. Along with making sure he takes his vitamins each day. For other dogs I would do as requested walk, feed, play, and give them attention or space if needed.
About: I’ve grown up in a home with 5+ pets at all times, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. This hands-on experience has made me comfortable with a wide range of animal needs, from feeding routines to basic care and handling. I’ve also completed drop-in visits for friends and family, providing reliable, attentive care that keeps both pets and owners at ease. Currently I am a Starbucks Barista, I typically work late afternoon closing shifts. I am off by 9:30. I’m available to come in before and after work to check up on your furry friends <3. Growing up with multiple pets, I’m very attentive to creating a safe and stress-free environment. I follow routines carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
About: 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! Let's 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: Hi, I'm Cleo, As a lifelong animal lover, I know that your dog is a cherished member of your family. Leaving them with someone new can be stressful, which is why my number one priority is providing absolute peace of mind. When your pup is with me, they receive undivided attention, structure, and endless affection.I have years of experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

I am incredibly detail-oriented and strictly follow all feeding as well as medication,.You can expect consistent, clear communication from me, including plenty of photo and video updates. Your home will always be respected, and your dog will always be safe, happy, and loved! My daily life starts with feeding my beagle Chloe followed by a nice long walk. My free time is spent at the dog park with with Chloe or getting to spend time with other fur babies. My passion in life is working with children (I work in education) and animals. They both bring me so much joy..when I talk on a walk or a sitting I make sure your fur baby gets all my attention. I always show up a little early to introduce myself and get to know your pet. And enter with caution to make sure your baby doesn't get out. I leash inside and like to explain what we're about to do. I'm a big believer in making sure your fur baby feels safe and comfortable. Sometimes I will sing kid songs to ease their mind and get a wag in their tale. My goal is to provide a safe, happy environment that brings joy to them.

In your home (drop-ins, walks, house-sitting): I follow your exact instructions to the letter — feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, play preferences, and any house rules. I keep your place spotless (no mess left behind), secure all doors/windows, and send plenty of photo/video updates so you can relax. I’m fully background-checked and treat every home like my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downey
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!
It was our first time booking Koa for a walk, and Ness was super patient with him. He got a bit spooked but Ness did not give up. She waited patiently and was very sweet to our boy. Communication was 10/10. We’re very grateful to have found Ness. See you next time! 🐶
Anna was fantastic with my dog, Shep! She walked him for a full hour and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. She was punctual, professional, and clearly very caring. Shep came back happy and calm, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. I highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!

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 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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Downey. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
