Angela is amazing and very thoughtful. Our dog is a bit shy around strangers and she did a great job building his trust giving him the exercise he needed without overwhelming him.

Tatiana has been walking my two dogs and has been doing a great job! Constantly communicates and super responsive, flexible, and eager to take care of dogs. One dog is older and one is a puppy, and Tatiana has done a great job at handling them both, and even Belle, who normally is unwelcoming to strangers, warmed up super quickly. Would recommend!

I recently hired Selena to walk my dog while I was out of town for three weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is incredibly friendly, punctual, and reliable—qualities that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog absolutely adores her, which is the most important thing to me! Selena goes above and beyond by sending lots of photos and videos after each visit, which made me feel connected to my dog even from afar. Her updates were always detailed and full of happy moments, showing how much she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend Selena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. She’s simply awesome!

About: i only take on one dog at a time, so your dog will get my undivided attention. I've taken care of dogs ever since I was little as my family has 3 dogs - a chihuahua and two Maltese. As a huge dog lover, I've always held the responsibility of feeding, washing, trimming, and walking them. I know that we are our pets' whole world, so I truly understand the importance of giving them care, love, and attention. I am able to walk your dog on the weekdays/ weekends in the mornings, during lunch and in the evenings. I work from home in Nob Hill, so I am flexible on the weekdays. My dogs are currently not living with me right now as I moved away from my parent's house and am living in an apartment. I look forward to spending quality time with your furry animal and giving him/her all the attention and love!

We had a last minute appointment for our ceremony at City Hall and needed someone to look after Sigrun outside while still letting us grab a few photos with her. William responded so quickly, showed he genuinely cared, and made the whole process stress free. He clearly knows how to connect with dogs! Thank you so much for helping us out on our big day!

About: Hi, I’m Grace — a dependable, attentive caregiver with a lifelong love for dogs. I had a Pomeranian named Gizmo who lived a long, happy life and taught me how special the bond between dogs and their humans truly is. While we’re not ready for another dog of our own just yet, caring for others’ pets allows me to share that love in a meaningful way. I’m naturally nurturing and detail-oriented. I’ve supported close family members mother in law with lung cancer through serious health challenges and husband thru multiple surgeries , which strengthened my patience, reliability, and ability to stay calm in any situation. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I am studying and taking an insurance certification course in the mornings Monday-Friday. I am free to house sit, dog walk, or do drop ins for your dog after 11 am Monday-Friday What you can expect sitting in your home: • Calm, consistent, and loving care • Clear communication • Daily photo updates • Respect for your home and routines • Extra attention to senior or anxious dogs I understand you’re trusting someone with a member of your family — I don’t take that lightly.

About: Caring for dogs and cats has been a life long passion! 🐱🐶From my own family pets to neighbor’s furry friends, I found a passion for taking care of animals. I have the most experience with dog walking on other pet care platforms and multi pet house sittings. I currently work full-time during the week and I work from home Mondays and Fridays. From Friday-Monday I am the most free, while the other weekdays I’m only free in the evenings. I have an apartment a block away from a grassy park and a 15 minute walk from Lafayette Park. There are no other animals in my apartment and no harmful plants to cats or dogs.

I’ve worked at the SF SPCA for several years and currently own a heeler-terrier mix that enjoys long hikes! I absolutely love working with all animals and am looking forward to meeting your animal in the future ☺️ Located in SF 🙂 I’m available for all your pet sitting/walking needs, just give me a little notice - happy to travel depending on circumstances too! Thank you and I look forward to meeting you! My dog, Blu, enjoys laying outside in the sun and in the sun spots in our condo. We usually walk over to the large park that’s within walking distance to get those sniffs in, and some social interaction with humans throughout the day :) She’s is extremely treat motivated.

Celia is fantastic! She’s been walking Marble twice a week for months (and boarded him before that), and she really takes the time to get to know his unique personality. Cattle dogs like Marble can be a lot to manage, and he recently started barking at a nearby dog park. I couldn't figure out how to calm him down, but Celia stepped in and found the perfect fix: she gave him a "job" by letting him carry a ball in his mouth. It worked perfectly! Marble and I are so lucky we found her - would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who’s reliable, creative, and clearly loves what she does!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Downtown dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Downtown.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
