“What a wonderful person! I was very worried because my son's dog is unruly and wants to eat other dogs. Kyla had the dog walking along as peaceful as can be. She was truely a blessing.”
“Merlette was so patient with our dog who was a little shy on the first visit. She’s also a great communicator and made the whole process easy. So relieved to have found someone who can walk our dog.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I love animals more than anything and think doing something like this is a perfect fit for me. Im currently mostly free, I don’t start classes up again until spring of next year:) anytime throughout the day/evening just need to know before hand. Just would like clear communication and respect on both ends of course, I’d say I’m pretty understanding and willing to make change if ever needed.
“Michael has been a lifesaver when life is life-ing. He really built a rapport with my pups especially my rescue german who is weary of strangers. The boys look forward to their walks and are always ready for a nap when they come home. Thank you so much!”
“Cyndi was wonderful with my dog during the three weeks she walked him. He was always excited and happy to go with her, and I felt confident knowing he was in good hands. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. Highly recommend!”

“Sierra was really great with Baba. She got here on time, met Baba and he really loved her. Professional and very good calm energy for my super happy excited pup. Will be using her for Baba's walks. Thanks again!”
“We have a newborn, so it's a huge relief to have Deborah walk our dog every morning. Our dog Lucie waits for her by the window and is always so excited to see her. That tells me she treats the doggies well and develops a good bond with them! Deborah is communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
About: I believe every animal deserves patience and love. They tell you what they need when you know what to look for and give them the opportunity to express themselves. I grew up with many pets and have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. I have cared for puppies, senior animals, and everything in between. I'm currently exclusively a pet-sitter and have no pets of my own, so I can give my undivided attention to your animals. When I start part-time classes Monday-Thursday in the fall, I will still be available after class and over the weekends. I maintain a calm environment and provide exercise, play time, and cuddles for every pet. I love walking dogs around their neighborhoods and taking them to the park or the beach. I follow feeding schedules and other care instructions and have experience with crate-training and separation anxiety.
“Irina walked our reactive dog in our neighborhood and I definitely recommend her! She was communicative throughout the process, provided pictures and gave a detailed summary of their walk together. We’ve already booked her for a week long stay in our home!”
About: I'm super reliable, very patient and attentive when left in care of your fur babies I like to chill and lounge on the couch with them or go on long walks or spend time at the park P.s will follow special instructions if there is any needed to follow :)) For days that I have available for pet sittings I like to know if they will have a schedule to follow or not so I usually go by that but I have most days off with just gardening to do or stuff to do around the house/lounging or hiking/ running errands. I make sure to keep any toys, food or medication nearby. I’m comfortable caring for pets that may need more attention than others or that may be more independent.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 13 years, including my own special needs dog, Jimmy. We adopted him from the Humane Society, and since then, he’s been part of our family. Jimmy has required extra care due to medical and mobility issues, and through him, I’ve learned how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Sobrante
Merlette is amazing. We had a last minute event and needed to get my boys walked and Willette was more than happy to step in and help. I am so grateful for her that we found her. I can’t say enough great things about her so thank you again for that. You’re amazing thank you.
Patti was great. We met up for a meet and greet before the walk appointment at her discretion. She and my pooch got along really well. She also has some experience with dog training which helped because my pooch pulls a lot when I’m walking him. I saw her techniques and she’s good at what she does. Thx Patti!

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 El Sobrante. 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 .

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
