“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.”

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!”
“Irania is respectful, sweet, and responsible. She was extremely punctual and always kept me up to date with exactly what was going on. My dog is 90lbs of playful energy, but that didn't phase Irania. They bonded instantly. I couldn't have asked for a more reliable sitter/walker. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking looking for pet care they can count on.”

“Tara was stellar. She provides the right amount of communication, knowledgeable about the app, and very reliable! Our dog was comfortable with her pretty quickly and looked forward to their walks while we were out of town. Highly recommend her services.”
About: Hello! My name is Amanda and I am currently a stay at home mom. I have 2 dogs named Cal and Luna; a shepperd mix, and a retriever mix. Cal and Luna are both a little over 7 years. I have had older dogs since they were puppies so I do know the round the clock care that dogs need at every stage of their life. I am absolutely an all around animal lover so anything that would make your pet feel comfortable I am willing to do. I love to take my dogs everywhere that I go so they can feel constantly included and not feel as if they are being forgotten at home or left out. I look forward to hanging out with your best friends.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. While also having my own at some points in life while I currently do not have any pets now I would love to spend some of my time helping people with their pets. I currently have a full time job but I am available most days any time after 3pm and some weekends. I’ m not very busy after work so that’s why I want to start taking care of some pets. I live in a house which has its own yard so I have plenty of room for dogs to play and run around. But I prefer to just help other take their dogs out when they are busy
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old when I got my first dog. I now have two dogs and have cared for mine, as well as other peoples dogs :) I have two dogs to care for: a 2 year old chihuahua terrier and a 13 year old chihuahua/dotson mix! I take them on walks, make sure they're fed, bathe them and give them all the love they need :) I make sure they're not getting into anything they're not suppose to, make sure they get outside for walks and general outside time/car rides, snacks when they're being good!
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.

From energetic pups that need long walks to older dogs that prefer slower strolls and extra attention, I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day—no one gets lonely on my watch! I love keeping dogs active with walks, games, and belly rub breaks, and my spacious, secure yard is perfect for running, sniffing, and a little zoomie fun. I also enjoy spending time with cats, giving them gentle pets, cozy spots, and extra love while making sure they feel safe and happy. Being home means I can follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of cuddles, and make every day fun and stress-free for your furry friend. I have a large fenced in yard where your pup can play fetch and have endless potty breaks but also have the ability to crate if needed!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up.

Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day.

I am really grateful for Jazmin walking Maggie. She had great photos and kept me up to date and was on time. I also appreciated the poop update when Maggie was having tummy issues, it was helpful to keep an eye on. I would absolutely have Jazmin walk Maggie again!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Emerald Hills on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of June 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
- 94% 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.
