Would highly highly recommend Joey. She is super responsive, caring, reliable, detail oriented, and was just overall great with our pups Mozie. She exercised him well every day and took great care of him. She also sent such cute pics every day she took him on a walk, and was detailed in her updates. We loved Joey and will definitely be using her again in the future!

About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

About: I am a responsible, dependable animal lover who has cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rabbits in the past. I can provide any support needed, including walking and hiking, feeding, play time, grooming, bathroom clean-up, and providing medication, if needed. I have worked as a dog walker and sitter for a company in Marin County, volunteered for two years at Wildcare, and currently volunteer and foster with NorSled Husky Rescue. I'm a part-time adjunct professor at SJSU in Environmental Studies and am only on campus on Tuesdays. My schedule is flexible the rest of the week. As a previous dog, cat, and small animal owner, I am comfortable caring for your animal using whatever instructions you provide. Setting up a time to meet beforehand to go over the details and so that you and your pet can get to know me is important, too.

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them since I was 6 years old and have helped family and friends to care for theirs while out of town. Love treating them as one of the family and giving them all the love and attention they need, As of right now my schedule is pretty open and can fit in walks, check ins and overnight care at just about any time. Consistent times work best as it allows me to schedule other activities around caring for my animal friends. I live in an apartment near the beach, I could make space in the home to setup a bed and play area within my place and we can get outside for walks along the cliffs or beach nearby. Have some open yard area for bathroom visits and possible socialization. Many dog parks nearby as well.

About: I started dogwalking in my neighborhood when I was 11 years old. I continued walking and caring for dogs when I was 16 by volunteering in my hometown dogshelter. With 18 I finally made my dream come true with getting my trainerlicence and adopting my first own dog I work as an aupair in the mornings and afternoons. During the day und the evenings and every weekend Iam always off what makes it possible for me to spend my free time with my passion, pets. I have a car which allowes me to come to your house and take care of the puppie in his environment, or take the dog out to a park, trails, a river or lakes. It’s also possible to take the dog to my place if needed. A dog who’s with me will never ever miss out any needs. I have an excellent sense and eye for animal language and their needs that they express. I can promis every pet and animal will always be in best hands and care. <3

About: Your pup will be in good hands! If you're new to Rover, use my code to save $20! NANCYC19805 My partner Andy and I both have flexible hybrid work schedules l so your pet will have plenty of care and attention throughout the day! We live in a 3 story home with a backyard and long driveway for dog runs. We live 10 minutes from 2 great parks. We both grew up with pets, both cats and dogs. Our rescue pup Coco passed away in Fall 2022 and we miss her very much. We now have Lulu (a sweet 9yo french bulldog) who we rescued from the same organization. Through our foster and Rover experiences, we have cared for many animals with different needs. We have experience with pets with mobility needs, shy/nervous pets, and pets that need medication. Although we have stairs, we are happy to carry your pet up and down the stairs, and we have a ramp to help them up the couch. We currently work from home and can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they need. We typically do 2 longer walks and 2 short walks a day, but let us know what works best for your pup! On the weekends, we like to go to the park nearby or drive to parks in different neighborhoods and walk around. Let us know if there's anything special in taking care of your pet and we'll accommodate. I have a fenced yard to allow for quick breaks for your pet. We allow pets on our couch for cuddles, as long as they behave. Typically, we crate dogs at night, so please bring your dog’s crate for overnight stays. We have stairs leading up to our living room. We are happy to carry your pup up if under 30 lbs.

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life! I’ve had a number of both cats and dogs throughout my childhood & adulthood. I currently have one tuxedo furbaby now—his name is Shiva, and I love him with all my heart. I’m currently on the search for full-time employment, so I have a completely open schedule that would give me more than enough time to incorporate pet-care into my daily routine. Since I’m mainly at home, I’m always with my pet cat, and making sure that he’s okay is my top priority. Whatever the client needs to be done for their pet is what I’m willing to do, no matter cat or dog. Just let me know how you would like for me to care for your pet(s)! Of course, I am always willing to provide the pets playtime, give them walks, and provide them with enough enrichment while you are away.

Wow!! we've never had a walker like Crystal before! She and Luna immediately fell in love, and Crystal doted on her on every walk. She even made Luna a birthday cake biscuit ( after asking us first). At the same time, she was incredibly punctual and great at communication. She's great!

Christina is the best! We don’t have enough good things to say about her. We reached out in a pinch for last minute dog walker and she was so gracious and responsive to take care of our boys! We loved receiving pictures of our boys on their daily walks looking as happy as ever. It’s the best feeling knowing you’ve left them in great hands with someone you can trust. Christina was communicative and we would absolutely love to have her walk them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Excelsior dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Excelsior.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times

  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
