“Taylor was absolutely amazing with my girl, Molly. We did a couple meet and greets to make sure Molly was comfortable and Taylor was very accommodating. Molly loves to sniff and Taylor had no problem letting her sniff her little heart out on their walks. I loved forwards to the photo updates every day!”

“Dawn is awesome! After the third day Smokey didn't even look back at me. He saw Dawn and was was tugging at the leash to go. She even worked with me to split his walking time up when he couldn't make it back home one day. He's an old pup. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.”

“Daniel was great. Very responsive and flexible with the booking. Shujaa quickly made him her BFF. We both look forward to making Daniel part of our regular routine. Thank you Daniel”

“Eve is great! She was on time and handled Cheetos very well. Cheetos is a very fearful and very afraid of strangers. Eve calmed her down and won her trust with some bribery. It's so great to have a perfect dog walker/sitter nearby! Thank you Eve!”


“So grateful for Caroline! We had a last minute out of town thing for the day and she was able to come care for our boys. I know they had a great time with her, especially from the pics :)”

“Jacob has done a great job handling my two large, energetic pups. He went the extra mile by reaching out that they were running low on food and offered to help make sure they were taken care of.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
About: My mom raised me from the beginning about being gentle and empathetic towards animals. She showed me how to care for all types of animals and give them the very best lives we could. I’ve cared and pet sat since i was 12. I got my first full pet sitting gig in my neighborhood for a whole week. Ever since then, I have loved caring for animals and am extremely passionate about giving them the upmost care they deserve. Because they’re family too! I have three cats and a dog myself so I can relate to you on a relatable level! I currently don’t have a day job as I have a chronic illness, and taking care of animals is exactly what i love doing. looking to be around animals and help people who need animal care is my goal. So I have a lot of time on my hands to take care of pets all over the oc area. My schedule is very open and accommodating to all in need of care. Pet care is extremely important to me, I love to take my own dog to the park and let him run and run and run. My cats I actively brush them, clean their ears, litter, etc. I own a double coated dog so I often spend time brushing him in the backyard and tossing a ball back and forth.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds, a Cocker Spaniel, and a mixed-breed dog. Later, when I started my own family, we welcomed Fiera, our Labrador Retriever. She grew up alongside my children—they were like siblings and partners in crime. If you’ve ever had a Lab, you know exactly what I mean. 😁 When Fiera was about five years old, Glitch, our little Shihpoo, joined the family. Fiera crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 13, and we still miss her every day. 💗 Making your pup feel safe and cared for is my priority. If your dog isn’t acting like themselves, isn’t eating normally, or just seems “off,” I’ll notice and I’ll let you know. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, walks, medications, or special care. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. While you’re away, I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor or outdoor plants, rotate lights if requested, and help keep your home looking lived-in. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help. I’m currently completing professional training from home, so I spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship for the pets in my care. Our home is shared with our small dog, Glitch, and our indoor cat, Vinnie. Both are important members of our family. Glitch enjoys having canine visitors, and he has always done well with dogs in our home. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I carefully introduce dogs and only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. We have a fully fenced yard. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine, including using a crate if they’re already crate trained and comfortable with it.
About: We love doggies! I never thought I would be a dog mom but after fostering multiple dogs we finally adpoted! We have a beautiful boarder collie, golden, chow mix named Sammie. She is perfect! I love dogs, they give so much love and are apart of the family. I cant wait to meet yours! I am currently available most of the time. I work remote so I am flexible. Just reach out and I can work with you! I love to walk and I love to see animals, they fill my cup so it all is a win, win!

About: Hi! My name is Gayane, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home with two wonderful rescue cats, and throughout my life I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have experience fostering, rehabilitating, and helping homeless and abandoned animals find safe and loving homes. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to care for them while you're away, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own animals. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. My own rescue cats are part of my everyday life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it's dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day and ensure that every pet receives the attention, affection, and consistency they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when their routines are respected and they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), playtime, and any special routines or preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are doing well. Having cared for rescue animals and foster pets, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level. I always take the time to build trust and make sure each pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.
About: I am a big animal lover! I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and chickens for more than 20 years & can't get enough furry friend time! Whether it is a short walk around a local park, a snuggle on the couch, or sharing treats while freshening up water bowls, I see each visit as a little slice of heaven where I get to give unending scratches & leave with sweet slobbery kisses! I am free and flexible for planned walks, weekend sitting, and drop-ins, as needed. I can take last-minute walks, feedings, or potty breaks with a 45 minute turn around during the week. I check my phone diligently. I walk my own pupper once a day, a 2.5-mile walk, freshen water bowl twice a day before each meal, followed by a deep brush through every night before bed & treats as he works through commands or shows he is a good listener. I run him in my neighborhood park, play fetch, or work on training commands to tire him out at the end of the day if he has extra wiggles or stress from a car ride or vet visit. I take care of friends' and neighbors' cats by cleaning their litter box, giving them a pet or a snuggle, and freshening their water or filling up their food bowl each visit or as needed. I enjoy hanging out with each animal by giving them my full attention and time. Whether it is belly scratches, a quick jog around the block, or stretching their legs on the patio after a meal time, I am there for it. I focus on leaving the furry family member happier than when I arrived!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Galivan
I need a walker for my dog at the last minute and reached out to Yeji. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet the same day. I could tell my dog would be well taken care of with her. Yeji did all I asked and provided a very detailed Rover card which I appreciated. Thank you, Yeji!

Austin was easy to communicate with, friendly, go-with-the-flow, on time, and very trustworthy. My mother in law felt very comfortable with him and our dogs appreciated his willingness to take them on familiar walking paths. Would definitely recommend and rehire.

Jonathan helped us with dog walks for over a week. Our dogs are picky and take a while to warm up (they are Shiba Inus), but they really seemed to like Jonathan immediately. He was extra communicative and sent great videos, photos and updates. Absolutely would hire Jonathan again.

Chris has been amazing! We have a strong high energy Belgian Malinois who we needed an experienced walker to exercise. Chris was able to take immediate control over him and does a great job tiring him out. He takes Cono’s experience seriously, provides feedback and recommendations and most importantly Cono loves going with him. We are so thankful to have found Chris!

Thank you Caroline for your last minute help with feeding and walking our girl, Ziggy! It was great chatting with you as well! Thank you for your professionalism and loved reading Ziggy’s report card/photos. She sure has warmed up to you and is very comfortable around you. She loved seeing her bestie dog friends, Sammy and Stanley!! Thanks for the photos!!

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 Galivan. 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 Galivan.

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.

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.
