“Judea has been amazing to work with! She’s been super accommodating, helpful, and easy to communicate with. She’s always been flexible with scheduling and has made everything really easy and stress free. I really appreciate how kind and reliable she’s been with Buddy, and I feel comfortable knowing he’s in good hands. I would definitely recommend Judea to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”
About: We’re an engaged couple living in East Palo Alto and looking for more opportunities to spend quality time with animals! We’ve been trusted dog and cat sitters for friends and family for years, and recently decided to give Rover a try. We’d love to provide your pet with extra love, attention, and care while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, and we’re sure we will have our own one day. We walk daily during our lunch breaks and each evening after work. We’d love to take your pet with us! We live in a house with a private fenced backyard. We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be.
“Danielle was great with my dog Minnie. I loved the report card after their walk. She was also patient with me when I couldn’t find Minnie’s collar! Great first time Rover experience!”
About: Other then caring for my two family dogs i worked at adogo pet hotels for about a year! Also helping with cousins and other friends dogs! Would be caring around my regular work schedule. when i am home my pets are my number 1 priority always. they come first for sure at my home i let them out the front and keep them on the leashes or let them out in the fenced in back yard! will do whatever is best for the client
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
“Anastasii is fabulous with our dogs! She is very punctual and reliable. We trust her very much to care for our two dogs and she always goes above and beyond.”
About: I have done short term pet sitting for my friends and neighbors, feeding their cats and dogs in the morning and night. I like to take the time to play with the pets too rather than being in and out. Personally, I have had 2 cats and 2 dogs and both my dogs are larger breeds. My golden lab was quite the trouble maker and I was present during his training, so I can say I will most likely be able to train walking etiquette for jumpy dogs. I have been around many animals from cats to sheep and they all took their time getting to know me, but in the end they all love me. I currently have no obligations so pet care would form my schedule. I can spend as much or as little time as you want with the critters! In my own home I have a fenced yard and easy outdoor access. I would go back and forth with the pet to make sure they are safe and seen and have adequate potty breaks. If the client wants the pet to remain in one spot I can make that happen as well.
About: I have helped foster dogs for at least 5 years now. I understand that each dog may require their own individual needs and care, which is why I am open minded to trying different ways to look after each dog. I work a part-time job in retail. This means that I have a lot of open and free time to help look after peoples' dogs. In my home, I cared for my dog by trying to keep him entertained, showering him with affection, and taking him out on walks, and I make absolute sure that he is as healthy as can be.
About: I love meeting new animals, and keeping up with the ones I’ve met. My top priority is the well-being of your pets and your home. I am here to help. I am fortunate enough to be semi-nomadic, with a very flexible living situation. I can go anywhere within reason, with enough notice. I love animals, and I love exploring. I follow any instructions or guidelines set out by the pet owner. I also employ common sense. If an animal needs space, they get space. If an animal wants to come along with me, they can- following the pet owner’s rules.
About: For the last 10 years I’ve been watching the pets (8 cats, 3 dogs total) exclusively for one family and my own family and I have had our own pets along the way 🙂. After recently deciding to leave corporate and do something more exciting, I’m choosing to step into this full time 😺 I’ve done it all from: -taking dogs & cats for walks -Ministering medicine (crushed pills in food, pill pockets, orally given, etc) -sticking with the owner’s bedtime & feeding schedules -handling iguanas and snakes (includes grasshopper and mice diets) I’m currently in between jobs so my schedule is very open to designating my time & attention to your pets :) Lmk your guidelines & preferences and happy to work with you! Ideally I’d watch your furbabies in the comfort of their own home. Whether that’s stopping in or spending the night(s), whichever works best for the owner.
About: I grew up around dogs and even fostered a few throughout my college years. I have the strength to walk any dog and am very active if they need lots of walking. I understand their personalities and always lead with love🐶 I’m currently working part time and am always open to working around your schedule. Weekends during the day are always busier for me but I’m flexible and will put your pet first. Pets at my home have the apartment to run free, although I do not have outdoor space those who require it will get more than enough outdoor time. I spend most of my time outdoors and they are always welcome to join.
About: I’ve taken care of my families and friends pets many times throughout my life and I’ve always heard positive feedback! Would love to help out others. It brings me serotonin and gives me that extra boost in my week to spend some time with animals and show them some love too I have a fenced yard and lots of grass space, and plenty of sun. Not to mention a park within walking distance of my house
About: I am taking a break from work and have the time to house sit and check in as well as board. I have done Rover for a few years now and have worked at dog boarding facilities. I am able to walk your fur babies in the morning and in the evening. I have experience with medication and injections for whom are needed. I have starting training experience and hope to learn more while watching my fur child Ruffles grow and enjoy life. It is true that Each pet has his/her own characteristics, so I try to find way to connect and gain there trust in anyway I can. I understand all pets have different characteristics and I will do everything possible to get to know your pet. I understood pets are a huge part of our familyand that is how they will be treated with love, understanding and compassion. Pets are truly men's best friend, and one that is always there to make our life so much exciting and fun. I can say at the moment I am able to fit any pet into mine and my own pet’s routine! Ruffles gets along with children , any size 🐶 dog and adults! I am trying to board only one pet at a time with my own pet at home just to be in the safer side. However, once your pet is at my home, he or she becomes part of the family instantly. They are allowed on top of furniture. My Ruffles is a non-caged dog but I do own a cage.
“Isabel is professional and reliable. She is knowledgeable about dog behavior and my little terrier mix enjoyed her walk with her. She even offered to drive back to my house to feed my dog and cats if I needed her to.”
About: I have been around dogs all my life, I grew up with a three-legged dalmatian named Pongo and loved and cared for her throughout her whole life. Then our family adopted Snoopy a poodle mutt from the streets of Peurto Rico. Cute, white and fluffy he is 9 years old and I love taking him on long walks and runs, playing fetch in the yard and even teaching him various tricks everything from playing dead to jumping through a hoop! I am super trustworthy and your dog with undoubtedly be exhausted and happy by the end of the day. I am an avid runner and if your dog is up to it I would love to go for runs with them! I’m fully available until June 30th to devote my full attention to your pup! Afterwards I will be working remotely so your dog will never be alone! I have a fenced in courtyard for playing off leash and with other dogs and lots of greenery and trails around me for long walks.

Anna was so helpful and didn’t hesitate to support dog walking and feeding both our dog and cat when we decided to go on a last minute day trip. We recently moved to Menlo Park and are so grateful to have found Anna! Looking forward to having Anna’s support with our animals more in the future.
Judea has been amazing to work with! She’s been super accommodating, helpful, and easy to communicate with. She’s always been flexible with scheduling and has made everything really easy and stress free. I really appreciate how kind and reliable she’s been with Buddy, and I feel comfortable knowing he’s in good hands. I would definitely recommend Judea to anyone looking for a great dog walker!
Shobi is absolutely wonderful! So reliable, caring, and communicative. She’s been incredible helpful while my pup and I have adjusted to a new city and schedule. My dog loves her, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in good hands. Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful dog walker! He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He always posts cute photos of Oreo and takes him on nice, long walks. I come home to a happy, relaxed dog every day, and I have Cameron to thank for that!
Yu Chen is such a great friend for our pet Shadow. We are so lucky that we found Yu Chen. While we were away, she took shadow out for a long walk everyday for more than we agreed. She left me notes everyday regarding her time with Shadow. It was such a relief to know that our dog is in good hands. She is truly a dog lover! Don’t hesitate to let her take care of your paws. I will always recommend Yu Chen. Hope to see Yu Chen again soon.

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 East Palo Alto. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 East Palo Alto. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
