“Nadine was perfect! She was able to take our last minute request to walk our dog 2x daily while we were out of town. As a bonus, she is great at taking pictures. We would highly recommend Nadine!”
“Wow Nicolas came through with the last-minute booking. He took so many pictures and took care of my baby. He is the best communicated very well because she has my precious baby so I need to know everything lol definitely gonna book him like again. He is honestly the best.”
“Rich was awesome with our Bernese Mountain dog! He was so patient while letting Finnie get used to him. It was so hard having to leave him for a few days, but I felt good knowing Rich would be there twice a day to walk him and give him loves. Loved the updates and pictures I received after each visit! I would definitely recommend Rich and will definitely use his services again! Thanks Rich!”
About: Caring for your pets just like Stella! Stella is My angel, my baby, my everything my French Bulldog! With 20 years of experience, My love for animals began at the young age of 5! From reptiles to hairless cats to big and small, young and older pups! I love every living creature this world holds and I care, appreciate and respect them because their feelings matter too! I am fully available on weekends and very flexible Monday-Friday. Contact me for any special requests! I understand all pets have a daily routine- my goal is to let them know nothing has changed when I am around and paw-rents are gone. With my many years of experience, I have mastered securing the pets safety first always! Making sure leashes, collars and or harness are secure before opening any doors or gates. A pets safety is and will always be my priority!
“Kendall was wonderful with our two big pups. She was on time and so reliable! She followed our requests and even came a couple of times just to get to know them. Thank you so much, Kendall, we will definitely be calling you again! The dogs loved you!”
“Elise was a breath of fresh air! I recently moved to Fountain Valley, and my biggest concern was finding someone reliable, trustworthy, and caring to walk my dog (or my whole world, if you prefer). I travel frequently for work and need this service quite often. I met Elise, and she cares for my pup when I’m away. She is a 10-star professional! I can now go on work trips without worrying about my dog, and that’s a huge statement. She’s absolutely amazing!”
“I can't thank Sarah enough for taking such great care of Luna while I was away. Luna was happy, well-exercised, and even seemed calmer when I returned. Sarah kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend Sarah’s services!”
“Chris did a great job walking my 80lbs baby. He greeted Rocco with lots of affection and back rubs that made Rocco comfortable and smile. He was flexible in the location and attentive to my concerns in walking Rocco.”
“Sahara is amazing and goes above and beyond! She is kind, punctual, communicates well and attends to your dog’s individual needs. My dog Milo is soooo happy when Sahara picks him up. And I am at ease knowing he is well taken care of. Thank you so much! We are grateful to have found you!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Labrador from the time I was born until I was around 10 years old, and since then I have had two other dogs, including a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix and a Border Collie mix. Because of this, I have experience with different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from large dogs that need strong handling to active dogs that need plenty of attention and playtime. I have also dog sat for family and friends before, so I understand how important it is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I will always check in frequently with updates, make sure your dog is fed on schedule, take time to play with them, and give them the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. I am home for the summer from UCSD and currently shadowing a doctor, but I am able to work my schedule around what is best for dog or cat sitting. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can usually make most times work. I will always communicate clearly if I have something planned on a certain day, and I will make sure we figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I will make sure they are cared for, supervised, and given plenty of attention while you are away. I am comfortable playing with pets, throwing tennis balls or toys, taking dogs on walks, letting them outside, and watching them closely while they are out. I will always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal schedule, so I will make sure they are fed on time and cared for in a safe, responsible, and loving environment.
“Michelle was great throughout the process, from the initial meet and greet to the first walk with Buster. Buster is very shy and Michelle made a point to be take things slowly with him. She remembered all the details of the house as well. I definitely plan on using Michelle again in the future.”
“We have had the pleasure of having Dayna walk our little pup twice now and he has loved every minute of it both times! Dayna is very punctual and so sweet with our Tokyo. She updates me on his potty status during walks and takes such great pics of him to share with me after their walk! I would definitely recommend Dayna to anyone!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Fountain Valley is $25

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my dog walker! She took such great care of my dog and was incredibly patient and understanding with him. He is very skittish and isn’t the easiest dog to win over, so gaining his trust takes time and a lot of patience. I truly appreciate that she allowed him to warm up to her at his own pace and never rushed the process. It was so reassuring to see him become more comfortable with her and know that he felt safe and cared for. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. I will absolutely be recommending her to my friends and family, and I will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and patient to care for their furry family member! ❤️🐾
We’ve been using Nadine to walk our two boys, our Dalmatian and French Bulldog, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s always so quick to respond, very communicative, and we absolutely love the photos and updates we get after their walks. She’s reliable, caring, and has become the only dog walker we use. We highly recommend Nadine! ❤️🐾
Elise was a breath of fresh air! I recently moved to Fountain Valley, and my biggest concern was finding someone reliable, trustworthy, and caring to walk my dog (or my whole world, if you prefer). I travel frequently for work and need this service quite often. I met Elise, and she cares for my pup when I’m away. She is a 10-star professional! I can now go on work trips without worrying about my dog, and that’s a huge statement. She’s absolutely amazing!
Lily and Jason have been walking my corgi, Finley, since March, four days a week, and I truly don’t know what I would do without them. They have been incredibly reliable, caring, and flexible. There was one week when I needed extra help with six walks instead of the usual four because I had a wedding, and they were so accommodating and made it work. It means so much to have people I can count on when unexpected things come up. They don’t just take great care of Finley, they genuinely care about him. They even surprised him with a birthday gift, which was such a thoughtful gesture and meant a lot to me. Knowing Finley is in good hands while I’m at work or when something last minute comes up gives me so much peace of mind. I’m beyond thankful to have found Lily and Jason and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving dog walkers!
Isaacia was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond what we asked of her and made sure everything ran smoothly without a single issue (and we were gone for a quite a while). Her communication was really good and she provided updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She handled the loud 4th of July fireworks to keep our dogs inside before things got really loud. She was very reliable from the first meet up, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!!
Highly Recommend Heather! Heather was absolutely fantastic with my pup! She is incredibly reliable, punctual, and communicative. I loved getting her updates and photos while I was away, which gave me total peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She is also starting Vet school in the fall. How great is that!? I will definitely be booking her again!
Jared has been wonderful with our anxious little dog, Noodle! He took the time to sit down and meet her while we chatted about her behavior and needs, and patiently gave her the space to get comfortable with him. He is clearly passionate about his work with pets, and I feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in his good hands. Will definitely be booking more session!
I am SO happy that I made the decision to try out Rover. Skyler is an absolute gem. My Siberian Husky and Chihuahua are difficult dogs to deal with (and do not trust many people), but they LOVE Skyler! They look forward to their play time at the nearby dog park and their walks with her. I have seen a huge change in their behavior ever since she started walking them routinely during the week, while I’m at work. Skyler is flexible, quick with responding, understanding, reliable, punctual, and passionate about animals! I am so grateful for her! I highly recommend her to anyone! 10/10. A+.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fountain Valley on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 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 Fountain Valley. 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 Fountain Valley.

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 Fountain Valley. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
