About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 10 years, unfortunately his last year of living required vet visits and daily medication. This experience taught me how to take for senior dogs and monitoring health changes while being patient and showing care I am currently a student at SDSU, this allows me to have flexibility to put all my attention onto your pets! ( last minute calls too! ) Taking care of pets is extremely important to me, I see dogs as a family and I take care of every pet with love and kindness.

“She was very communicative and took pictures of my dogs and took them on a long walk. My dogs were so tired afterward. I really appreciate her also being accommodating with me. 10/10”

“One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.”

About: Hi pet guardians! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. Please take a moment to review my bio and if you think I would be a good fit I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂 _____ About Me _____ I am a certified and insured dog trainer specialized in the area of applied canine ethology (dog socialization, and body language). _____ Experience, Education & Philosophy _____ I've done a lot of work in kennels, shelters and with rescue organizations, rehabilitating dogs with behavioral issues. I have a BSc in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, a certification in Canine Agonistic Behavior from Cambridge University's Ethology Institute, and I'm also a trainer in good standing with the Pet Professionals Guild. I'm a Fear Free practitioner, a positive (R+) trainer, and I adhere to ethical standards for modern, humane, science-based training. I treat every dog like my own, and the way I would hope to be treated if I was in their position: with endless patience, kindness, and sensitivity. All dogs in my care enjoy a managed environment prioritizing safety, comfort, fairness, and fun. Good manners are encouraged through the day with numerous opportunities to earn rewards, and I keep an anxiety-soothing routine with healthy periods of play, rest, mental stimulation, and physical exercise. Shy dogs get all the space they need and can initiate interaction on their terms, clingy dogs get lots of love and attention, and energetic dogs get engaged with lots of games and physical exertion!
About: Growing up wanted a dog but my parents allow it so did the next best thing which was dog sit for my neighbors. So I have many years of experience sitting all types of dogs. Love the company of a wonderful dog. There’s nothing like the energy from a happy pup that loves to play. I just started training for a half marathon I’ll be running in March, so if your dog is used to or if you want me get him/her active, i would be able to do so. I’m working from home currently so I have a flexible schedule and would love nothing more than spend some quality time with your precious pup. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your amazing pup.
“Tara is a top tier dog walker. She had so much patience with my shy, stranger-averse dog and took extra time to build trust. Tara left detailed rover cards for each walk and took plenty of photos.”

“I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.”

About: I have 20 years of experience watching dog's and just loving various and multiple breeds. I love puppies ,senior dogs and let's not forget the one's with a disability. I have great references of families , from watching their furry friends while owners are out of town, or even helping with whelping. I have plenty of time since I am a stay home mom. My husband and child are out most of the day and give me a chance to have an open schedule. My child and husband are also dog lovers, but also understands how important it is to give our fur babies space while still providing a necessary attentive eye for the sake of their care. I have a fully fenced yard, full of space for your furry friend to run,play, or simply enjoy his daily sun bathing. I have one french bulldog that is 2 years old and gets along with everyone, he loves his ball and chicken that's for sure.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Emerald Hills
Zach was absolutely incredible! He took such good care of my doggo while we were away for a few days! He made sure he was loved on and maintained (brushed him and then even swept the house). He gave me consistent updates and sent lots of pictures! A very kind and thoughtful caregiver! Will definitely be using him again if/when we go away next!

We just started with Ana, and I already really trust her. She’s been reliable and flexible — I asked her to come earlier than originally planned because of the heat, and she happily accommodated. I can tell she genuinely cares about Iggy; she’s patient with his quirks and makes sure he’s calm and happy before she leaves. She’s also very thorough with photo updates and notes, which I really appreciate. I feel completely comfortable having her in my apartment. Highly recommend!

One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.

Danielle is wonderful! She’s timely, always communicative and provides such sweet care for our pup. We have an excited pup and Danielle is quick to calm her down and start walking. Our girl comes back home worn out and happy :) I would definitely recommend Danielle.

William is fantastic to work with. From our very first interaction, he is extremely communicative, professional, and attentive. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions to get to know Gucci, her personality, routines, preferences, and any special needs. It was clear that he genuinely cared about providing the best possible experience for her. His attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for pets truly set him apart.

Janet takes such great care of my dogs and makes it so much easier to be away from them. She’s attentive, patient, communicative, and my dogs absolutely love her. They always get plenty of exercise, attention, and quality care, and are happy and relaxed when I get home. I absolutely trust Janet with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Emerald Hills on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 Emerald Hills. 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 Emerald Hills.

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 Emerald Hills. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
