“I needed a last-minute dog walker for the week and Javante was so kind to help out! We weren’t able to meet beforehand, but he was very communicative and reached out with questions. Birdie seemed to love him as well! I appreciate his help and care for her so much.”
“Zola is awesome! Super communicative and the dogs seem to love her. She was super flexible in adding an extra day for walks at the last minute. So glad that she’ll be walking my dogs regularly.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. My parents are big dog people so I’ve always had multiple family pets ever since I could remember. Throughout my life, I’ve lived with different dogs and cats that belong to either myself or my housemates’. Professionally, I’ve provided overnight dog care at my home as well as at my clients’ homes. Our household is one where there is always someone home. I work during the day while my partner works part time in the evening. We also have a family member who is an animal person. She is a college student taking only online classes and will be around in case of any emergency. Whenever your dog is with us, there will always be someone right next to them at all times. We have a fenced yard and a dedicated outdoor dog play area to make sure your puppies are able to explore and play safely. We are walking distance to the rose garden for walk time.
“Meara was amazing while we were on vacation! She’s extremely knowledgeable and patient with our 2 pugs. Showed up on time and sent photos every day. You should book her! Your furry friends will be in good hands.”
About: Nice to meet you, my name is Ghelina and I have always loved animals. I currently have the time available to be able to share, attend to them and, above all, give them a lot of appreciation. I live in San José in an apartment, so I have the space available to be able to share with your pet🐶🐱. If you are looking for a trusted person, you can write to me with pleasure 🤗 I have taken care of pets since I was 18 years old, neighbors, family and friends have trusted me because they know that I love dogs or kittens since they are part of the family and accompany us day by day to make us happy with their company.🫶🏻 I have the availability to be able to attend and take care of them but above all that they feel confident with me, since I like to share a lot with animals 🤍 I have a large room of an apartment since we only live 2 people, and outside 3 gardens by the apartments to be able to go out with them.
“Megan took care of and was walking Pepper for over a week. I am very happy I found such an amazing walker for Pepper. She is super reliable, always showed up right on time, and gave me peace of mind. Her communication is awesome, she made sure I knew house and dog were in good hands. She told me of her desire of being more with dogs again after her move to CA. She took the best care of Pepper and treated him like one of her own. It seemed to me that Pepper looks even happier, healthier than before they started their walks. Highly recommended and I will ask her again next time when I am away.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have spent my whole life caring for dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs, two chickens, and eight cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and pet care needs. I’ve also been dog walking for the past year, gaining hands-on experience caring for other people’s pets. My background in childcare has taught me patience, responsibility, and attentiveness, which I bring into caring for animals as well. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always strive to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! I’m currently a college student, and my classes only take up about an hour each weekday morning, leaving me with plenty of flexibility throughout the day! Outside of school, I love staying active, going on walks, and spending time at home. Because of this, incorporating pet care into my daily routine feels like a perfect fit! Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a visit, or spending quality time with your pet at home, I have the time and flexibility to give them plenty of attention and care. I live alone in an apartment in the heart of downtown Campbell, with access to a fully fenced front and backyard that are private and only accessible to me. Although I have pets of my own, they live at my family home, so any animals staying with me will have a comfortable space without other pets around! I’m also just a five-minute walk from Los Gatos Creek Trail and close to several local parks, making it easy to incorporate walks and outdoor time into our daily routine. My biggest priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routines they’re used to at home. Whether your pet is crate-trained, prefers to free roam, or has specific dietary or medical needs, I’m happy to accommodate their individual requirements and follow your instructions closely. I plan to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care, working around my school schedule and their needs. I’m also more than happy to provide photos and updates throughout their stay so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands! For house sitting and drop-in visits, I bring that same level of attention and respect to your home, making sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible.
About: I have always loved dogs, big and small! I am mama to 2 schnauzers, Hula and Sadie. Currently available full time for your pet. I have a fenced patio where we hang out in the sun. We also go on walks, car rides and the dog park (Campbell/Los Gatos). I will care for your pup as if they were my own. Come join our “pack”. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time for play time and walks. I’m available for daycare, walks and boarding. Also snuggle time! I have a fenced patio and two pups to keep your dog company. I can crate your pup or lounge in dog beds. My girls are never far from me, as your precious one will be, as well.
About: Hi, I’m Ashley. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, needs, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I truly love dogs and treat each one like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make a point to send regular updates and plenty of cute, silly photos so you can see how much fun your pup is having. I work about 10 minutes away from my home, so I will only be able to provide one potty break every four hours during the work week. Your dog MUST be okay with being alone/crated. Drop off times during the week MUST BE before 8AM. Or anytime after 5PM during the week. On the weekends, we can accomodate any time for you to pick up and drop off your dog. Please be aware I do live in a heavily dog populated neighborhood. So if your dog does not do well around other dogs, we may not be the right fit. Our first priority is ensuring your dog(s) and the dogs around us stay safe. We are a dog sitting couple! I work a standard 9–5 but I am very close to my home and can provide a potty break every four hours. (During my lunch break). We make sure pets get plenty of attention and care throughout their stay with us. DISCLAIMER: We live in a heavily dog-populated community. If your dog is not socialized and aggressive towards other dogs, our place will not be a good fit. We want to ensure dogs staying with us on Rover and the ones living here are safe. Drop off times during the week MUST BE before 8AM. Or anytime after 5PM during the week. On the weekends, we can accomodate any time for you to pick up and drop off your dog.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15. Family, friends and my own. I’m super patient I’ve had experience with puppies, senior dogs, turtles, and cats. I currently go to school from 5-8pm Mondays and Thursday’s. However I am available most weekdays some Saturdays even. I am super understanding. I have 3 cats which I often feed and play with and stay on top of their hygiene by cleaning their litter box trimming their nails, I also have a turtle. I prioritize good hygiene and beneficial healthy treats and meals.
About: While most of my pet care comes from three years as a cat owner, I naturally connect with dogs. From friendly neighborhood greetings to playtime energy, I bring patience, warmth, and dependable care for every furry friend. I volunteer part-time a few days a week, but I always make time for pets! I’m flexible, reliable, and ready to give your furry friends the love and care they need. When caring for pets, safety and comfort come first. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and keep a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like family.
About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.
“Chris was great. He watched my dog Annie for the second half of my Christmas/NY vacation. The day he took over with Annie, she was feeling sick and limping. So stressful to hear from the other side of the country! He monitored her and sent pictures and texted me frequently to let me know how she was doing and thankfully she was feeling better after a couple of days. ”
“Reese has been (and continues to be) an amazing friend to my crazy malinois mix boy, visiting weekly for the past few years. He understands my dog's fears, reactivity triggers, and his vocal songs when he's almost home from his walks. Can't rave enough about how much I appreciate him!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Fruitdale is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fruitdale
Nicole has been such a great help over the past few weeks and completely indispensable. She is always punctual, incredibly reliable, and her patience and attentiveness with Quattro are truly second to none. I highly recommend her to anyone on Rover looking for a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker.
Megan took care of and was walking Pepper for over a week. I am very happy I found such an amazing walker for Pepper. She is super reliable, always showed up right on time, and gave me peace of mind. Her communication is awesome, she made sure I knew house and dog were in good hands. She told me of her desire of being more with dogs again after her move to CA.

Highly recommended and I will ask her again next time when I am away.
Claudia was so sweet to take my last minute request to walk my dog. She was on time and she was so attentive my baby girl. I met Claudia at a coffee shop a few weeks ago and she told me she used Rover, shared her booking link, and it came so handy yesterday where I needed a last minute walker. I see her profile is new, but she definitely experienced with dogs. Well definitely book her again. Thank you so much!!
Yumi is incredibly conscientious, thorough, and punctual. She asks all the right questions and pays close attention to even the smallest details. She also has a real sixth sense when it comes to animals and seems to understand how they are feeling and what they need. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in the right hands with her. I especially love the connection she has with Rio. Sometimes I feel like they must have met in another life. Their bond is genuinely special, and Rio gets so excited to see her. It is clear that he absolutely adores her.
Rachel was fantastic with our enthusiastic hound dog during our last getaway, so we booked her again for dog walks while we were out of town over the long weekend. Unfortunately, our pup developed an unexpected stomach issue the day we left. Rachel was extremely communicative and kindly worked with us as we assessed our dog's health and recovery. She was patient, flexible, and incredibly helpful—we were ultimately able to continue our vacation plans knowing that our dog was in great hands. We look forward to requesting Rachel’s help again during our next trip, and our dog does too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Fruitdale is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $37 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Fruitdale. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fruitdale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Fruitdale. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% 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 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.
