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.
“Nadine and Josh are great! My dogs are becoming more socialized which has been problematic due to the pandemic. My dogs come home happy and tired. I have had to change my walk times a few times and my requests have always be accepted. Nadine and Josh are flexible and professional.”
“Rich was great! He arrived right on time and my dog was so happy and tired after their walk. Everything went smoothly, and I’d definitely recommend him to others looking for a reliable dog walker.”
About: I LOVE dogs and have a large mixed-breed rescue of my own who is 12 years old! I’ve cared for her since she was 1, so I have years of hands-on senior care, including administering medication and cooking her meals. My family & friends have trusted me to care for their dogs for years too! I love playing and staying active with pups because I know how important exercise and mental stimulation are for their health and happiness. Long walks are a must! Your pup’s well-being, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-ins and pet sitting. I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, medication, and exercise routines, and I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs in advance! Your pup’s safety & comfort are my top priorities! I provide a loving, attentive, and stress-free environment where your dog can feel at home. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs, dietary requirements, or medications. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your fur baby will be treated like family! 🫶🏼

My home is dog friendly and I have two dogs that love to play with other dogs.

“Stacey has been great. She came at the same time each day and my dog and cat both enjoyed her company. It was such a relief to have her help while traveling for work. She also sent some good photos so I could see how my dog and cat were doing. I have already booked her again for help doing more work trips in the next month. So glad I found her.”
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. My weekdays and weekends are usually always open, which makes my schedule easy to work around. I will patiently work with your pets however needed, with whatever instructions are given. If a mess is made I will make sure your home stays clean.
About: I have walked and taken care of dogs since I was 10 :) I have two pitbulls of my own so I am an avid dog lover and able to handle stronger dogs. I am also a long distance runner so im well prepared for lengthy walks and rigorous playtime! I just graduated from UC Berkeley and have moved back home as an HB local. I'm looking to make some extra money to help with my student loans! I have a completely open schedule! I can work monday-friday as well as the weekends for however long necessary. Just let me know how many walks your pet needs and I can do it! I am very cautious with open doors and gates as my dog was a runner when i first got her. I can also crate dogs if needed as well. Overall I am very cautious with first introduction and allow them to smell me before going further and make sure not to make any alarming movements
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since i was a young girl, i’ve never had the opportunity to have my own pet but i enjoy taking care my siblings pets like a fun aunt! I’m currently unemployed and i’m looking to help out fellow pet owners with their duties! I’m available anytime of the week, would just need a heads up. I stay with my boyfriend who lives in an apartment downtown HB & we love to take care of animals. We have small patio backyard but love to go for walks!
About: I have always grown up around dogs and now I have 2 beautiful golden retrievers. I have nursed their wounds, given them medication, made their food, groomed them, and some hours of research to take care of them. I have also watched or helped take cared of friends and families dogs. My past job as a cna has helped me to not be afraid of a messy situation. I am also great with high energy dogs. I am currently a student and help my partner with his private chef business so I have lots of free time in between. I help him with 1-2 events a week so I have a lot of free time to check up or walk your dogs. I am available every morning and most nights. I go to school online and all of my classes are currently short and spread out so I have lots of free time for walks. I would care for my client’s pets like my own. We will have the best time together and I always make sure they are in a happy and safe environment. I am always prepared on walks with treats, extra leashes, and plenty of bags.
“Brittany is a gem (says my furry pup, Coal). Thank you for all the walks while we were on vacation. It is such a relief knowing we have Brittany to depend on entrusting our boy while we are away. Thank you!”
About: I understand what dogs need because I pay attention to the small things. When my own dog, Gorio, gets anxious, I don't just manage it—I anticipate it. I've learned to read his cues, adjust environments before he gets overwhelmed, and create routines that help him feel secure. I've taken him camping, navigated social situations with other dogs, and made tough calls to protect his wellbeing even when it's inconvenient for me. I treat every dog in my care like they matter—not as a job, but as a responsibility I take seriously. Whether your pup needs patience, structure, or just someone who won't leave them feeling like a burden, I show up fully present. Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be seen. Working part time as a surgical technologist, I usually work 3-4 days a week. On my own time I can do mornings on Mondays and Tuesdays I can also do Saturday evenings and Sunday evenings Home Visits: I respect your dog's space and routine. I will pay attention first to their comfort level, read their cues, and don't force interaction, when they are anxious. I’m very patient with them, so I make sure they feel safe, not stressed by having a stranger in their home. Walks: I'm mindful of your dog's pace and energy. I don't rush them. I'm aware of their triggers and keep them feeling protected, not overwhelmed. Overnight Stays: I'm consistent and reliable. Your dog won't be left wondering or anxious. I make decisions that prioritize their wellbeing, even when it's inconvenient for me.
About: Hello! My name is Katie. I graduated UC Davis with an animal science degree and specializing in captive and companion animals. I worked at one of the largest animal clinics in my city and I loved my job. I have always loved animals my entire life. At once I had 4 dogs in my house and I take care of them like my family. I have been helping people look after their pets for more than 15 years now and I love it! I'm easy going, experienced and would love to take care of your animals! I have been on Rover for a several years and it is a great experience for me. I took a few years break from Rover to be a dog trainer for a company. I update my clients everyday with pictures and/or a general update to put their minds at ease while they are away. Let’s have a meet-n-greet to prove that I am the best fit for your animals. After all, they are family too! I am working 5 hours a week in Irvine and stay local most of the time in Orange County to provide services for people’s pets I make sure all the doors and locked and closed. I can easily crate dogs if needed. I provide water ad libitum. When my dogs are inside for awhile I will take them on a walk to get out some energy!
About: Anyone that knows me can attest to my near obsession with the furry animals and I love having them in the house and they are my main priority. I live in a quad plex in Long Beach that has a back yard with a fence. I work remotely for the most part so will be with your fur babies most of the time! I will be with your dog as much as needed so I can make my schedule flexible in order to make it the most comfortable for your animals!

Stacey has been great. She came at the same time each day and my dog and cat both enjoyed her company. It was such a relief to have her help while traveling for work. She also sent some good photos so I could see how my dog and cat were doing. I have already booked her again for help doing more work trips in the next month. So glad I found her.
Nicholas is great with Noodle! He dropped by early on the first walk to give her time to get comfortable with him and earn her trust. He’s attentive, responsive and patient with our shy but sometimes stubborn little girl. Very grateful to have him and highly recommend him!
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!

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 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.

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.
