About: Cats and dogs are such special little creatures. I’ve had the pleasure of house sitting for several families in the past couple of years and have gotten referred to family members due to my great care with their fur babies. In my own family, I am the trusted go to for pet care, as I ensure each 🐶🐈🐈‍⬛ is properly cared for and given so much love! 💕 I currently work from home and set my own schedule 😄 that offers me a lot of flexibility to spend time with my own fur babies and I’d be happy to spend time with yours as well! I’m pretty routine oriented when it comes to care, set times for eating, play, cuddles, and rest. You can expect a grounded and calm approach to caring for your fur babies as I am a Taurus 🤪 I have a fenced backyard, an energetic puppy, and two kitties that like to lounge around with small spurts of play. I have lots of toys and treats available to support mental stimulation and to ensure your animals have plenty of time catered towards enrichment. Early walks and evening walks when the temperatures are cooler can also be expected (:

“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.”

“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: Animals have always held a special place in my heart!! With years of hand on experience caring for pets, I understand that they're not just animals, they're cherished members of the family. I've spent much of my life caring for animals with different personalities, temperaments, and individual needs. Whether it's an energetic pup who loves to play, a laid back companion who enjoys relaxing, or a cat who prefers affection on their own terms. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and personalized attention. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I strive to provide the same level of love, respect, and attention that I would want for my own pets. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for their owners, and plenty of love along the way!! Pet care fits into my schedule very well, I'm a stay at home mom already and available pretty much all week long to take care of your fur family. I don't do too much during the weeks, I do need to take my son to daycare twice or so a week but it's a quick trip, and I come home immediately after. I can confidently say that you fur baby will be will attended to, even if they prefer their space I will be there for them. For caring for animals in my or others home, I am first respectful to them, and let them lead the experience. If they are shy I don't startle them or rush them. I am gentle and patient with all fur babies. I follow routine very well and the more detailed a list is for care the better I can be for them, as every pet's needs vary from each other.

About: Hello! I’m Raquel, the pet Nanny! I have been so lucky to have been a Pet Nanny to so many Furry Friends! I can’t wait to keep extending the fur family! I am available for both Dog walking and drop in visits depending on your pet's needs. About Me: I have been in the animal care field sense 2004. But have been an avid pet lover and equestrian my whole life! I started my animal career being a pet sitter/walker and then started working in the boarding kennel (assistant manager) and then become a Vet tech! For fun I like to competition train my dogs with my husband and do various dog sports with them! I’m also an AKC canine good citizen evaluator! I am fully trained vet tech and skilled in recognizing and handling emergency situations when it comes to your pets. Commutation is #1 in my book. I believe that it is absolutely necessary in order to provide excellent customer service. Throughout their stay, I will make sure to send you pictures and keep you updated on how your pet is doing. With commutation being my #1 goal owner can have peace of mind while they are way and letting their furry baby live their best life! Why I love Pet sitting: I have always been an animal lover and have even made a career out of it! Being a house sitter is one of my favorite parts of being a pet sitter because it allows pets to feel more at ease, have less separation anxiety, and feel comfortable sticking to their normal routine. You'll come home to the happy and healthy pets you had when you left! My experience administering medication * Giving your pet oral medications (pills or liquid) * Giving injections - SQ fluids, Insulin, ect. * Applying medications in your dogs eyes and ears * Applying topical medications, flush and cleaning wounds * Recognizing, Understanding, and Handling Emergency situations Caring for pets is what I do full-time! As a bonded and insured professional pet sitter, my days revolve around caring for dogs and cats. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or overnight stays, your pets receive my full attention and personalized care while you're away. I truly treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I follow your pet's personalized care instructions, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection. My dog walks are one-on-one, allowing me to give each dog my full attention while keeping them safe and engaged. For overnight stays, I maintain your pet's daily routine from evening through morning, providing companionship, regular potty breaks, meals, medications, and lots of love while you're away. After every visit, I send detailed updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. As a bonded and insured professional with years of veterinary experience, I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect I would give my own.

Powder loves and trusts him immensely. He's a good pup but he's difficult and Aaron has helped make a huge difference. I'm so grateful for Aaron. He's a remarkable young man. Thank you! 🤗”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my compassionate, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. With 3 years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and cats, I provide personalized attention, dependable service, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their routines and their owner's instructions. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring, and responsible hands Working full-time overnight in security allows me to dedicate time to pet care during the daytime and on my scheduled days off. I value reliability and flexibility, so I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and loving care they deserve without compromising my work commitments. Building trust with my clients is just as important to me as providing loving care for their pets. I understand that leaving your beloved companion in someone else's care is a big responsibility, and I want you to feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and following your pet's routines and specific needs. I treat your home with respect, keep you updated on how your pet is doing, and approach every visit with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved until you return.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels — from anxious pups who need reassurance to high‑energy dogs. I’m also familiar with crate training, basic commands, and supporting pets with separation anxiety. I work full‑time from home, which allows me to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop‑ins. Since I’m home, your dog will enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and a stable routine that keeps them comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, structured environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who enjoy company. I follow your pet’s routine closely, offer crate training if needed, and keep a calm, clean home. When I’m caring for your pet in my space I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication so your dog feels secure and supported.

About: Leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, and I never take that trust for granted. Dogs have been part of my life for over 22 years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including energetic dogs, anxious dogs, and a recently rescued dog here in San Diego during both daytime and overnight stays. I’ve learned that no two dogs are alike. Some want to play the moment they meet you, while others need a little more patience before they feel safe. I always adapt to each dog’s personality and routine, making sure they feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to detail. I’ll care for your dog with the same attention I’d want for my own, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home full-time, wake up around 6:30 AM, and enjoy daily walks, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while staying with me. I also adapt to each dog’s routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I don’t currently have any pets, so your dog will receive my full attention in a quiet environment without having to adjust to other animals. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions.

About: I am a young, energetic, and dedicated pet sitter with a lot of experience caring for dogs, cats and more. One of my greatest strengths is the genuine connection I build with animals. I have loved and cared for animals since I was a child, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience fostering both puppies and senior dogs, giving me an understanding of the unique needs. I am patient, attentive, and creative when it comes to keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy through play. I have a very open schedule so pet care is my full time job at the moment I’m still job searching, and I love animals so I’m grateful I’m able to hang out with dogs for a job. I provide attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. My experience includes fostering both puppies and senior dogs, so I am comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and requirements. I ensure pets are fed on their regular schedule, always have access to fresh clean water, and receive baths as needed. I take dogs outside frequently for bathroom breaks and provide walks throughout the day as needed. For social and active dogs, I also enjoy taking them to safe places such as dog parks or Fiesta Island for exercise and enrichment. Safety is always a priority, and when caring for multiple pets, I carefully manage feeding times and treats to prevent any conflicts and create a calm, positive environment for everyone.

About: Hi! My name is Valeria, and I have always loved spending time with dogs and caring for animals. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to treat your pet like family. I have a puppy that I've been raising and caring for since they were three months old, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that pets need every day. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I'm comfortable handling all kinds of personalities and activity levels. I love taking dogs on walks or runs, playing with them, and making sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for. Being the oldest sibling has also taught me a great deal about responsibility. I've spent years helping care for my younger sibling whenever my mom was busy, which has strengthened my patience, reliability, and ability to stay calm in different situations. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I'm always happy to accommodate any special instructions, behaviors, or needs to make them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am currently a Senior in High School, so I am looking for a flexible job where I can still gather some money for college. I can work only on some week days and on most weekends. As I mentioned before I have a dog of my own and the whole apartment in animal friends. We have lots of toys and it is a safe environment for animals. I regularly walk my dog for long walks around my apartment complex.

We are so incredibly grateful to Katelyn for going above and beyond to help us while we were away for work. She took such wonderful care of our dog, Snow, and made sure all of his needs were taken care of. It meant so much to us that she took the time to send us pictures and updates, especially since being away from home makes us worry about him. She made sure he had plenty of food and water, and she even took the extra time to clean up the mess he had made. Her thoughtfulness, care, and willingness to go the extra mile truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. We are so thankful for everything she did for Snow and for us. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring and dependable! ❤️

FAQs for Dog Walking - Emerald Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Emerald Hills is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 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 9,218 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Emerald Hills. 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 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 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 Emerald Hills 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 Emerald Hills. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
