“Lauri has really helped me out last minute when I needed someone to walk one of my two high-energy dogs. Maggie absolutely loved walking with her and was thrilled every time she saw Lauri. In addition to having a highly reliable, punctual dog walker, we also got to take advantage of Lauri's training background and made some great progress on Maggie's overall leash manners!”

About: I’ve taken care of my puppy and have experienced training him since he was 8 weeks old and now he’s over 2 years old and very energetic and playful. I’ve also taken care of my cat and experienced administering medications through injection and orally when he got really sick. He’s now 5 years old and thriving. I work from home 3 times a week so I have flexibility and on the days I’m in office, I can still make time early morning or evening. We live in a single family home and have dog gates to separate cats and dogs as needed to give them safe spaces. We also have a fenced backyard so doggies can run and play catch.

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always taken care of a dog and/or cat. Friends, family and neighbors have often relied on me to walk their dog or pet sit. I'm also a teacher and am responsible and reliable. I'm currently a graduate student, so I have time on Wednesdays and weekends for pet sitting/walking. I currently have 2 goats and 2 cats at home, so I am comfortable with pet routines. I don't have space in my home to care for your pet, but I can do drop in visits and dog walks in your home/neighborhood.

About: What sets me apart is my patient, low-stress approach to caring for both cats and dogs. I let pets set the pace, offering gentle attention, interactive play, quiet companionship, or relaxed walks depending on their energy and mood, all while strictly maintaining their daily routines. I genuinely love animals, and nothing fills my cup more than spending quality time getting to know each unique fur buddy. I work from home with a highly flexible routine, which allows me to seamlessly incorporate pet drop-ins and house visits into my day. Because I set my own workflow, I can easily stick to strict feeding schedules, medication times, and midday check-ins without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their exact daily routines in an environment where they already feel safe. I follow your precise instructions for feeding schedules, fresh water refills, litter box maintenance, and medication administration. I allow cats and anxious pets to approach me at their own pace, offering gentle affection, interactive play, or quiet companionship depending on their mood. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping doors secure, handling mail or plants if requested, and sending detailed visit updates with photos so you have total peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m Ana, a reliable, patient, and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including senior pets and those who need extra attention. I’m comfortable following medication schedules and have experience administering insulin injections as directed by a veterinarian. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention in a calm, clean, and safe home. I only care for one family’s pets at a time, allowing me to provide personalized care and plenty of love. Whether your pet enjoys playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog and cat as if they were part of my own family, and I look forward to caring for your furry friend! Pet care fits into my daily routine because I make sure to feed, give water, and spend time with my pet every day. I also include short play sessions or walks to keep them active. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their space, grooming, and checking their overall health. Taking care of my pet is part of my responsibilities, and I enjoy making it a regular habit. In my home, I care for pets by providing them with a safe and comfortable environment, making sure they always have fresh food and water, and spending quality time with them through play and exercise. I also keep their area clean and give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet’s routine, such as feeding schedules, walks, and any special care they might need. I always make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether they are with me or in their own home.

About: I’m patient and compassionate with older pets, and I’m comfortable with administering medications, helping with mobility, and understanding the signs of discomfort or stress. I’ve worked with everything from high energy puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need gentle care, medication, and a slower pace. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine especially with pets of my own. It’s not just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, feeding, playtime, walks, and any special care they require. Whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening cuddle sessions, I build my day to align with each pet's routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions carefully to stick to your pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get the right amount of exercise, and have clean water and a tidy space. I also take time for play, affection, or just quiet companionship! Whatever your pet is most comfortable with. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always provide updates so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away.

About: Two for one! My partner and I take an active role in your pet's overall wellness. We like to think we can be there for your loved fur-one when you need to go out of town or simply need a small break from your day-to-day routines. We are a family of fur-lovers and have a couple of years experience caring for dogs of all sizes and special needs. We are big fans of the outdoors and see your pet as our motivation to get up and move! But, we also are huge couch potatoes and will spoil your dog rotten at home with endless amount of snuggles and treats (all depending on your dogs overall needs). I work from home while my partner tends to have a more spontaneous schedule (entrepreneur life) - so we are very accommodating to majority schedules, week days and weekends. We usually keep dogs on the leash at all times unless owner specific requests not too. Once we’ve established a good relationship with them, we’ll usually take them to the dog park at let them have a bit of fun.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong knowledge of different dog and cat breeds and their unique needs. I understand that every breed has its own personality traits and care requirements, and I tailor my approach to make sure each pet feels comfortable under my watch. I’m also knowledgeable about recognizing early signs of sickness or discomfort. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, so I can quickly spot when something may be wrong and notify you right away. I have cared for my own pets from their puppy and kitten stages all the way through their senior years, so I truly understand how their needs change throughout every phase of life. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications and injections to pets Ive cared for before. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because caring for animals has always been a regular part of my life. Having pets is a huge responsibility; they rely on you to take care of them, so it's important to stick to a schedule so they feel loved and cared for. As of right now, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to be available whenever I’m needed. I'm open to last-minute requests or a set schedule! I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I know how important familiarity is for animals. In my own home, I maintain a consistent and structured routine for my pets. My dog and cat are fed at the same time every day to keep them on a healthy schedule. My dog gets daily morning walks and dedicated playtime to help burn off energy, especially since she’s a very energetic puppy. I also make sure my cat’s litter box is cleaned daily, and I always clean up promptly after my dog, both indoors and outdoors. I’ve personally potty-trained my dog, which shows my patience and consistency in training. I love taking my dog to local dog parks because I love to be outside and active while also getting her used to socializing. In addition, I stay on top of regular grooming needs, including nail trims, baths, and dental care.

“I booked Victor for Dog Walking with less than 24hrs notice. Not only was he available and responded quickly - He still took the time and care to ask about Rick and make sure Rick and I were comfortable. Even better, after the walk he took the time to discuss with me any unusal things he noted (Rick peed less than his normal amount on his walk) as well as the positive/general behavioral feedback of my pup. Really excellent experience overall. Thank you!”

About: Hi! My name is Vivi and I love dogs. (Actually, I love all animals!) I grew up with family dogs and adopted my own last year (she's a complete sweetie). I also have a cat, a bearded dragon, and fish. I worked in a local dog daycare and hotel for over three years and loved it! Now that I'm in a graduate program, I couldn't keep up the hours but missed the dogs. My favorite part of that job was walking the dogs and now I'd love to walk your dog. I really enjoy connecting with each dog, getting to know their personalities, taking care of them, and giving them the attention, stimulation, and fun that comes from being together and enjoying the day. I am currently working on my clinical hours for my degree and am busy Monday and Wednesday after noons 1-5pm and Thursdays at the same time and at 7am-10am every other week. Any other time is all good for me! When I take care of a pet, I care for them in any ways that they might need. I have had experiences with reactive dogs, dogs with specific medical needs, young dogs who are practicing training still, and senior dogs. I want to do what is most comfortable for the dog and am super happy to accommodate for any needs that they have when caring for them! I have experience reading and reacting to cat and dog body language and know when my presence is invited by them and when they might need more space. It's important to look for the animals consent and comfort when working with and taking care of them so they can remain as happy and stress free as possible!

Xiao is legit. Professional, reliable, prompt, and very easy to communicate with. What stood out to me is that she does much more than just walk your dog. She understands dog behavior, energy, recall, leash handling, safety around other dogs, and how to read the environment while she’s out with them. She pays attention to the little things too—where they’re walking, other dogs approaching, cleanup, respecting public spaces, and just being responsible overall. She took Anikah to Point Isabel already twice and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with someone who actually understood her and wasn’t just going through the motions of a walk. She also went above and beyond by helping me think through Anikah’s needs long term, organize some of my priorities, and even referred me to another person she trusts when it made sense for timing and convenience. That told me a lot about her character and professionalism. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.

FAQs for Dog Walking - El Sobrante

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in El Sobrante is $34 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $60 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 11,339 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across El Sobrante. 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 El Sobrante. 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 El Sobrante 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 El Sobrante. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
