“A True Dog Professional - Highly Recommended! Whinde is simply amazing as a human, and more importantly, she is an incredibly skilled professional who deeply understands dogs and their specific needs, especially for medium/large sizes. We reached out to her with very short notice, and she was able to accommodate a meet-and-greet on the same day. She knew exactly how to approach our Labrador who is shy with strangers, putting him (and us!) immediately at ease. Her communication, engagement, and timing are excellent—I feel totally confident and know I can trust her with my fur baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I'm already becoming a repeat customer.”
“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”
“Cassidy is great! I always get thorough updates and she has been flexible with our last minute requests. She is very capable and experienced and I know my (sometimes anxious) pup is in good hands!”
“Zhi was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was kind, friendly, playful, and went above and beyond everything I asked for. She made sure my dog was well taken care of by feeding him, taking him on a walk, and spending quality time playing with him at the park. I could tell she genuinely cared and treated him like her own. My dog loved her, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: Hello, I’m Gisele. Im moved to San Jose in January 2025 from México. Back in Mexico, I used to took care of my family’s and friends’s dogs and cats since 2020 whenever they went on vacation feeding them and playing with them. I used to have a little Maltipoo named Dobby; he was an senior dog, but sadly, he passed away a year ago, leaving a huge void in my life and my heart. As a result, I have experience caring for senior dogs. Although I don’t have much experience here in the U.S. yet, but my neighbor gave me the opportunity to took care of his three dogs (two senior Keeshonds and a puppy French Bulldog) for a week. I enjoyed it so much that it inspired me to create a profile here. I love playing with dogs, I like petting them and taking them for walks. I simply love being with them. My English isn’t perfect, but I can handle basic conversations. I work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. On weekends, I am available all day to walk your dogs or look after them at your home. During the week, my availability depends on my school schedule; however, feel free to send me a message, and I will happily see if I can accommodate the times you need. I am typically available to walk dogs and make home visits on any weekday after 3:00 p.m. I take pet care very seriously. While in your home, I will follow your rules and your dog's routine. I will keep your house clean and secure. I will feed your dog at the scheduled time, provide fresh water, play with them, and take them out for walks—exactly as you request. I will lock the doors and send you photos and updates after every visit or walk. Your pet will be happy and safe with me.
“Eleni helped us out with last minute walks while we were traveling and we couldn't be happier. Tuna and Josie loved her and she was kind and on time and great. Looking forward to having her walk the dogs again in the future!”
“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: Hi there! I am currently a grad student with a very light schedule and I would love to help you with your furry friends! I grew up with pets in the house and often pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I have also been fostering young cats and dogs and I have adored having all these different pet personalities around! I prefer my days to be filled with the joy and energy that comes from pets! I have plenty of time and energy to take care of walks, potty breaks, or just play time. I am happy to fit time in for your pets during my week, so please feel free to reach out so we can discuss the best care for your pet! I give your pets as much attention as possible, but I am also happy to give them their space if needed- it is their house after all! In order to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible, I try my best to stick to their normal household routine and activities that they would be doing with their own families.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, which has shaped my understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve always been involved in caring for my own family pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them consistent attention. Beyond that, I’ve pet sat overnight and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, family, and others. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and feel comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to help with last-minute needs. I’d love the chance to spend time with and care for your pets! When taking care of pets I like to keep things consistent with their usual routine by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get regular walks, and plenty of attention and love. I aim to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“Sydney is a very nice young lady and makes an effort to understand what your needs are and your pet’s needs too. My boy doggo sniffed her and liked her immediately. They went on a walk and he came back so happy. I appreciated the wonderful walk they had and Sydney’s care for my precious boy.”
“Charlie is the absolute best! She has been doing daily walks for my dog and it is the highlight of his day. His sits by the door waiting for her to arrive, gets so stinking excited when she shows up and toodles off with her in heaven. Charlie provides detailed updates on the walk and is highly communicative with us. In short, I could not recommend Charlie more!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for many years and have two sweet cats at home. I love helping pets feel happy and secure—whether it’s visiting cats for feeding and play, or taking dogs on safe, relaxed walks that fit their needs. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit or walk pets throughout the week. I drive and can easily accommodate different times for feedings, walks, or drop-in visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m very patient and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for pets. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure safety and comfort. I can drive to your home for visits, make sure everything is clean and secure, and give your pets calm, reliable care while you’re away.
About: Hi there! I’m Suyang. I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals. When I’m not pet sitting, I work as a Senior Park Aide for California Parks, which means responsibility and safety are second nature to me. Why choose me? • Professional Reliability: As a park employee and Public Safety Instructor, I’ve been through rigorous background checks. You can rest easy knowing your home and your pets are in trustworthy hands. • Safety First: I’m Wilderness First Aid (WFA) certified. Whether we’re out for a hike or hanging out at home, I know how to stay calm and handle emergencies if they arise. • Medical Experience: I’ve worked in animal shelters and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications or even inhalers for cats. • The "Leave No Trace" Guarantee: As a Leave No Trace (LNT) Level 1 Instructor, I take cleanliness very seriously. I’ll leave your home exactly as I found it—or even better! I love meeting new "furry friends" and tailoring my care to their specific quirks and needs. Whether it's a high-energy hike or some patient senior care, I’ve got you covered. Can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule during the week and I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits on weekdays. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs out for walks and exercise fits naturally into my routine. I’m reliable with time and always make sure pets receive proper attention and care during each visit. Safety and responsibility are very important to me when caring for pets. I always pay attention to the dog’s behavior, surroundings, and comfort level during walks or visits. I make sure dogs are securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m also trained in basic life support (BLS), so I take safety and emergency awareness seriously.
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.
About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's personality. Every animal is different, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet at home can be stressful, especially when they take such good care of us. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, playtime, meals, or simply some company, I'll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness I'd hope someone would show mine. My schedule lends me some flexibility during the week, so daytime visits are usually easy for me to accommodate. I also try not to cram my day full of bookings because I'd rather have the time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I know it takes trust to hand someone your keys and ask them to care for your pet. I'll follow your routine as closely as possible, keep you updated with photos and messages, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going at home.

Happy Summer Fun! Thank you Rachel, for seeing to our sweet Ryder for a peaceful morning walk after an eventful weekend of Parades and Boom, Booms!! He enjoys this time and I am so very grateful. Its a beautiful morning ~* Enjoy the Day & Have a great week ahead! Go USA ✨⚽
Zhi W. has been an incredible dog walker for our rescue dog, Pinky. From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know Pinky and met her exactly where she was, never rushing the process. As a large rescue dog, Pinky needed a lot of patience, love, and understanding, and Zhi gave her all of that and more. Zhi has always been consistent, dependable, and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated during every walk, shared how Pinky was doing, and made us feel confident that she was in the best hands. It’s clear that she truly loves dogs and understands that every dog has unique needs. Thanks to her calm, compassionate approach, Pinky grew more comfortable and confident over time. We always felt completely at ease knowing Pinky was safe, happy, and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Zhi again and absolutely plan to schedule walks with her in the future. We highly recommend Zhi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, patient, reliable, and caring dog walker!
Jamie was wonderful to work with! She took the time to calmly listen as I shared all the details about my dog’s daily routine, arthritis, likes, and needs. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. She also showed me her home and backyard, which made me feel very comfortable and confident that my dog would be in a safe, loving environment. We had a great 30-minute walk together, and Jamie was so gentle and kind with my dog. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and takes the time to get to know each pet. I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a compassionate pet caregiver. In fact, after our meet-and-greet walk, I felt so comfortable that I’ve already booked her to dog sit for my dog for 10 days in July. Thank you, Jamie!
My dog and I are so glad we met Judi! She treats Finny as if he were her own and he absolutely loves her! Judi is meticulous about any instructions you have for your pup and your home and, because she has so much experience with dogs, she will let you know if she notices any changes or issues with your fur baby. As a new and somewhat anxious dog mom, I can relax and focus at work knowing Judi is coming over and Finny is safe and having a great time with her on their walks.
Nicole was great! She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and took great care of my dog. She was flexible when an issue came up and made sure everything was handled. I really appreciated the updates and attention she gave him. Would definitely book with her again.
Am adding the 5 stars to my prior review... Jamie is a mature, caring and capable pet person. We have a very anxious dog and Jamie was very understanding - taking the time to get to know him. It is very challenging to find someone who you can trust with your pets, and we are lucky to have found Jamie!
Stephania has been doing check ins for my Dachshund puppy twice a day 3x a week for a few weeks now, and it is no easy task! At our first initial meeting, Stephania asked very detailed questions about her care, training, schedule, behavior, vet information, and also my expectations on what a day to day visit would look like. Her diligence reassured me that she is detailed oriented and really cares about providing the best care possible. She is very easy to contact, responds quickly, and openly communicates. My work schedule is very random, but Stephania goes above and beyond to work around it. Stephania is also very respectful of my home, and leaves it exactly as I left it, which I really appreciate. I also have cats in my home that she is not responsible for caring for, but will still show them love and attention anyways. Poppy and I appreciate everything she does, and I am confident in rebooking her again!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fruitdale on Rover is $21.4 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 .

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 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 Fruitdale.

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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
