“We are moving to another state and heartbroken to be leaving Nadine. We used them almost 5 days a week for over 6 months and could not have been happier with them. We wish we could bring Nadine and Josh with us. They have been such a blessing for us and our pup!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats mutually coexisting, ever since I was little. I have worked with family and friends who are in need of pet care. I help with my mom’s art business from home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 8 years old and have hands-on experience with many breeds and sizes. I’ve provided pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, including puppies, senior pets, and pets needing medication. I love taking dogs on daily walks to keep them active and happy and giving them plenty of attention while their owners are away. Bathing and basic grooming are no problem—I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is completely open right now, which means I can provide flexible care that fits your pet’s needs. Whether you need daily dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, I can adjust to morning, afternoon, or evening routines. I’m also available for last-minute bookings, so you can trust that your pets will be cared for even on short notice. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and provide plenty of love and reassurance. You can count on me to respect your home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are happy and cared for.
About: I'm just a dog loving person who has experience with all sizes and ages. I have always had a dog in my life and have spent the past 18 months fostering dogs. My home is dog friendly and I have two dogs that love to play with other dogs. I work full time but close to home so I can come check on the dogs if needed and I am within the home on the weekends I board. My house is very pet friendly and I am okay with dogs on beds and couches. Having fostered dogs, I feel it is important to shower the dog with love so they feel comfortable in my home!
“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 dogs has been a passion of mine since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs in my house and also helping neighbors and friends with their pets, learning early on how to handle different temperaments with patience and care. I’m a local resident who knows the best trails around Fountain Valley, and I treat every dog I walk as if they were my own. You can count on me for regular updates and a safe, fun experience for your pet. I am a local sports coach with a very consistent schedule. I dedicate my mornings and early afternoons entirely to pet care, which means your dog or cat will have my full, undivided attention when most people are stuck at work. I am available for walks and visits every weekday morning starting at 7:00 AM, ensuring your pet gets their exercise and potty breaks right on time before my coaching sessions begin in the late afternoon. Safety and structure are my top priorities. My approach is based on clear communication and reliability—traits I’ve developed through years of professional coaching. When in a client's home, I am extremely respectful of the space, ensuring all doors are secure and the environment stays clean. I provide real-time GPS updates and photos for every walk. I am also very comfortable handling large, powerful breeds that require a firm but calm lead during outdoor exercise.

As a grad student with a flexible schedule, I’m available Thursdays through Sundays all day. I love spending that time walking dogs or caring for pets—it’s a great way for me to stay active, get outside, and unwind from school while doing something meaningful. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m committed to making your pet’s day the best part of mine! When providing dog walking services, I always prioritize your pet’s safety and your home’s security. I make sure all doors are securely locked after each visit and always return the key to the lockbox as instructed. I take time to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for on every walk—whether it’s their first stroll with me or part of their regular routine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
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!
Nadine is amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we searched for a reliable dog walker and picked Nadine. Nadine was reliable, committed and communicative. She was on time and took photos of our boy on every walk so we could see how he was doing. Will definitely have Nadine come back again to watch our boy. Thanks Nadine! We’re so grateful!
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!!
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.
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+.
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.

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 .
As of August 2026, there are 12,564 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fountain Valley. 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 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.
