“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 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.

I’m also available for last-minute bookings, so you can trust that your pets will be cared for even on short notice.

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.
“Rich walker our dog during the holidays. He followed the instructions and schedule and he was very responsible. He was able to come on time on Christmas Eve after he had dinner with his family. He didn’t forget about our dog when one of his family member went to ER. He communicated it well and we adjusted the schedule so that it worked for both of us. I would highly recommend Rich if you are looking for a dog sitter.”
About: Animals have always been my passion. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting, fostering, and animal rescue. I’ve worked with puppies, kittens, seniors, shy pets, and animals with special medical needs, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and providing extra care when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm, dependable companion, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My background in animal rescue has taught me patience, reliability, and how to recognize when something isn’t quite right with a pet.

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!

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.
“Christopher does an amazing job walking/running my very active and energetic puppy Silvio! Silvio is always tired and happy after his walks. I appreciate how professional Christopher is, he is always on time and is a true dog person.”
About: I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter, new to the area and currently accepting new clients with flexible, wide-open availability. I have two dogs of my own—Franny (a senior queen 👑) and Carlos—so I really understand that every pet has their own pace and personality. Whether your dog wants a slow, sniff-everything stroll or a more active walk, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes (yes, even the strong pullers 💪) and focus on safe, positive walks with good manners and plenty of time to explore. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays, weekends, and for overnight stays.

My goal is simple: to keep your pet relaxed, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
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!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 12,596 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:
- 89% 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.
