“Erin was excellent! She showed up right on time every day with a ton of enthusiasm. We have a high energy dog and she came back from walks with Erin totally wiped out. Will definitely request her next time we need a dog walker!”

About: I began transporting dogs, including puppies, in 2020 for a dog-breeding business in Yuba City, CA. I've bathed, walked, and cared for puppies and dogs of all sizes and ages. I occasionally check in on cats when their owners are out of town. I've trained dogs how to sit and how to take walks properly. I walk my pitbull mix and my chihuahua together side by side. I also walk my neighbor's lab twice per week because he is elderly and arthritic, unable to walk her himself. I greatly enjoy the outdoors and animals!!! I work full-time Monday through Friday 8-5. So my availability is limited to Sundays only, add Saturdays I'm normally hanging out with my husband and we often go out of town for the day I can watch your pet in your home. If you live near the dog park, I can take your dog there as well. The Yuba City dog park has closed down but there is one in Live Oak next to the soccer park.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including raising a German Shepherd who completed professional training, as well as helping with puppy training and basic obedience. At home, I have two cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand the different kinds of care and attention they need. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. For boarding, my husband and I create a warm, pet-loving home where animals are treated like family. We both have grown up around pets and genuinely enjoy their company. Your pet will be cared for with kindness, patience, and plenty of attention while they stay with us. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: 🐾 Reliable, attentive care 🐾 Regular photo and video updates 🐾 Plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection 🐾 Respect for your pet's routine and special needs 🐾 A safe, loving environment where they're treated like family Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day. Since I already care for my own cats, I'm accustomed to maintaining feeding schedules, providing enrichment, monitoring behavior, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's walks, potty breaks, play sessions, cuddles, or simply keeping a pet company, I make time to give each animal personalized care based on their needs and routine. My husband and I work together to create a calm, loving environment for pets staying in our home, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and attention while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always strive to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication needs, exercise routines, and any special preferences to help pets feel at home. For pets staying with me, I make sure they have regular opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and lots of love. My husband and I are both animal lovers and work together to provide a welcoming environment where pets receive plenty of supervision and companionship. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. My goal is always to reduce stress, keep pets comfortable, and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving reliable, loving care.

About: I have an understanding of dog psychology and act calm under pressure. Previously, I was the dog trainer at Petsmart for a year and a half. I love dogs very much and care for their success! My main concern is the dog's health, which is why walking them is extremely important. Giving dog's additional exercise other than playing in the back yard is key to releasing their excess energy. Walks also provide new areas to explore which will give them an opportunity to use their smellers and analyze the world. You will be surprised at how tuckered out they become! If you wanted to have your dog work on socialization and make new dog friends, I am more than willing to help your fur baby improve in this area. I am available Tuesday through Saturday mornings for a walk. There is a possibility of opening a window of availability in the afternoons. Let’s talk! I would be most comfortable caring for your dogs in your home. Their environment is key to easing the stress of your absence in their daily routine.

About: Hello, my name is Chaniya (you can call me Niya, though). I work the night shift, so my schedule is a bit wonky sometimes. I would love to care for your pet even if I have to work. I’ve had all types of animals growing up; I’ve had frogs, bunnies, dogs, cats, turtles, and others. I can walk and (if needed) bathe your dogs. I can also teach them a few things. I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, stay, down, roll over, etc. I also know how to do some exercises for dogs to strengthen their front and back legs. I currently have a snake named Noodle. I would most likely watch them on my days off. Those days would vary but I can drop in just about any time. I work overnight from 5pm to 6am. I don’t work your typical Monday through Friday though. I live in a house but I would prefer to care for the pets in their home but I can crate them if need be.

About: It’s like camp for dogs! Your dog can have a great vacation too. We know how important it is to have the fury family taken care of in order to relax while on vacation. We have always had our own pets and we have taken care of other peoples furry family members for years, We have fostered for Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue for the last 25 years. If your pup is used to sleeping on a dog bed, or on the couch, or with people, they can do the same here with us. We won’t change the rules on them. We are well-versed in taking care of dogs with special needs or just simply providing TLC. When we have had fosters, we helped pups recover from surgery, given medications, adjusted pups to family life, trained and more. We just lost our sweet pup Cooper so we don’t have any pets at our house. This might be helpful if you have a dog that likes people all to themselves or if you have multiple dogs. Walks, car ride (wind in their hair) treats, playtime, attention, lounging in the fenced yard are all available. We both work at home so pups don’t have to be alone and can have all of their needs met. Reach out and tell us about your furry family and what they might need while you’re away. We would be thrilled to have them. We can work our schedule around what you furry family needs. Since we Work at hime and there are two of us someone can always be here if needed. We only serve one Family at a time. We don’t have meet and greets while your dog is with us. It’s all about them when they are here. We follow your instructions for walk, food, routines. You can read our references but it might be best to come to the house to meet us and see for yourself. It’s important to feel comfortable so you can relax while you are away. We take extra measures to lock the latch on the gate and use a double door system if we go in and out of the house.

About: I’m an experienced sitter. My clients are primarily dogs and cats, but I am experienced and open to accepting all animals! I’ve taken care of other peoples animals, ranches and farms (chickens, cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, dogs, bunnies and cats) for over 10 years. I have experience with live-stock guardian pets, reactive animals, high energy pets, and pets that just want to relax all day. I am comfortable and familiar with animals who have anxiety, boundary reactivity, resource guarding issues, behavioral issues, puppies, senior animals and so much more. I’ve worked in shelters, on farms, and in training for over 10 years. Your animals will be treated just like my own-with love, respect and understanding! Feel free to ask any questions about schedules, as I’m typically able to work with whatever you need. My rates differ slightly for non-constant care and constant care while I’m with your animals. I don’t currently offer boarding since one of my dogs is reactive. Your pets safety is my biggest priority! I want to care for your pets in the way you do, to ensure they’re as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I am open to any schedule, services, and needs your pet has!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Encinal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 343 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Encinal. 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 your Encinal. 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 Encinal 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 Encinal. On Rover:

  • 94% 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 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.
