Jiaji took such great care of Ginger! The updates were detailed and reassuring, and it was clear they were attentive to her needs on the walk. They made sure she had fresh water, paced the walk based on her energy, and gave her lots of affection. Ginger came back happy and content. I would definitely recommend Jiaji to anyone looking for a caring and reliable walker!

I had such a great experience with Skye’s walk! The service was attentive and thoughtful from start to finish. Skye came back happy, calm, and well-exercised, and I could tell she was cared for with patience and attention to detail. I really appreciated the updates and the way her needs were prioritized. Highly recommend!

RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.

About: I worked as a vet tech assistant for two years, and have taken care of a multitude of animals, from turtles, to birds, big dogs to baby cats, and almost everything in between. I have also taken my own dogs to training classes and have one certified as an emotional support animal. I have personally had dogs my whole life (cocker spaniels and a German Shepard), and at one point in my life, I lived with the head of the K-9 unit of the flint police department and got to experience how they teach and train their dogs too. while my current dog is staying at my parents, I am looking forward to welcoming new animals into my home to help fill the void for the time being. I am a very kind, caring, and loving person who sometimes relates more to animals than fellow humans :p Right now, I am a stay at home dad who can take care of any pet almost 24/7, as well as being able to take dogs for walks or to the dog park if wanted. My daughter loves animals as well and will be able to play with your pet too. I follow all rules and guidelines set by the owner, I have gates in my house to keep animals and children out of certain areas, will set up a dedicated food and drink area for the animals. We allow dogs and cats on the furniture and in the bed at my house, and will abide by whatever the owner asks of us if we are staying at their home. I may sure to take them outside once every 1-2 hours, as well as a walk twice a day at minimum, and/or a trip to the park or dog park if allowed. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, but still take dogs out to the bathroom on leash. We can also create a dedicated kitty litter spot as well.

About: I’ve been a devoted pet caregiver for over 8 years, caring for cats, rabbits, and hamsters with love and patience. I understand the unique needs of small and shy animals. My approach is calm and attentive, ensuring each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own family. I’m passionate about providing personalized care and sharing daily updates with pet parents. Since my MBA program starts in mid-August and all my classes are in the evenings, I currently have a flexible schedule during the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time to new opportunities, projects, or commitments without scheduling conflicts. I’m available throughout the daytime and can easily adapt to different time zones or urgent tasks while attending evening classes. I currently rent my home and am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I am happy to provide loving and attentive pet care by visiting your home for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, and I’m dedicated to making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.

About: I've always been an animal lover however, when I got my own dog 10 years ago I experienced the feeling of unconditional love. I also have a soft spot for special needs pets. I treat all fur babies in my care as if they are my own. It is my dream some day to help rescue and foster dogs of all sizes and breeds. I live in an apartment so I am limited on space but I am able to have a pet stay with me. I can do drop in visits, dog walking and or stay in your home with your pets while you are away. I have great references, please read. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I have my own 40 pound dog who is now 2 years old. So we keep a general routine around taking walks and potty breaks, exercise and play and nap times. I live in an apartment with a patio. I have a medium sized dog and he does just fine. I take him out often for bathroom and exercise and fun. If I am in your home I follow your instructions and keep to your pets routine.

About: I have experience in taking care of cats and dogs for my friends and family. I have a Persian cat and I have been living with him for 3 years. I am currently doing it for part-time. My time is relatively flexible. I will be available in weekdays more. Sometimes weekend works too with earlier appointments. I love playing and talking with them like a friend. Sometimes they would ask for pat or hug and my cat does, but I would be more careful with my friends’ pets. I love giving them treats when playing. But my cat doesn’t like treats haha.

I know how important your fur baby is, and since I work with children during the week, I'm full of patience and know how to handle all kinds of personalities with a calm and caring touch. I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never be far from the fun. I can’t wait to meet you and treat your pup like my own! I’m currently in college and work with children during the weekdays, but I’ve kept my weekends open so that you can have a fun time out knowing your pup is in good hands!

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

I have the knowledge to work with even challenging dogs. Just let me know when is good. I try to keep my evenings free but if it’s a good fit I’m open to making it work. My pet is well cared for and has a very enriched life. I would follow any preferences set by the owner because I know how important consistency is

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fremont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fremont on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,611 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fremont. 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 Fremont. 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 Fremont.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 Fremont. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
