“Esmeralda is wonderful with our golden retriever! She is calm, attentive, and engaging, gets in sync with his personality, and lets him enjoy being outside for an adventure, read the daily doggie news or just hang out listening to music. She is a professional when it comes to her canine care so we are confident when we leave our pup with her. Thank you Esmi!! 😁”
“Venora is highly professional, responsible, and always on time. Comes across as a caring, empathetic person. She bonded with my dogs very quickly. It usually takes time for my younger dog, Cooper to feel comfortable with a new person, but he quickly came around to her friendly, smiling manner. She is definitely someone we would use as the need arises. I can unequivocally recommend her as an excellent dog walker.”
“Lehna has been a great resource for the care of my two staffies. I have booked her several times already for walks and drop ins. She responds very quickly to requests, has strong communication skills and she updates me with details about how my dogs behaved with her. She has been professional and responsible and I can easily recommend her.”
“Alyssa was on time and very communicative. my two pups were very happy when I got home. She walked for an hour and brought them back safely. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Mario was outstanding! His communication was excellent, and he went above and beyond to help me out with walking my dogs on a stressful day of moving. I highly recommend him.”
About: I have one dog, who is 7 years old and three cats and they are between the ages of 12-14. By having all these animals, I have a full understanding on how and why it is important to take care of your pets. I recently just graduated college and currently, I am in the process of finding a post graduate job! This job will give me the chance to take a break from staring at the screen, and have fun with many pets! I understand that every animal has their own personality. I will definitely take note on what the pet's likes and dislikes are. In my own home, I have a gated backyard with a friendly dog. I would be happy to keep them away from each other if needed.
“Zoeyanne had great rapport with both of my dogs (who have very different personalities and lots of quirks). She was also very patient and helpful with some problems I had booking the appointment.”
About: Hi! I’m not just a pet sitter, I’m your pet’s second best friend (after you, of course)! I have hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even fish. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal. My goal is to make you feel completely confident and your pet feels completely comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am working another part-time job, so my availability is very open, and I have many hours of the day needed for clients and their pets. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, monitor behavior and health, and ensure doors, gates, and enclosures are always safely secured.
About: Travel anywhere with peace of mind, knowing your pet will get safe and reliable care from me. I offer 10-minute Zoom or FaceTime calls to get to know me before hiring me 👋🏼 🐶 Reasons Why I’m a Trusted Sitter: 🐾 Lots of Attention For Your Pet 🐾 My schedule is very flexible. I work remotely so I’ll have lots of time to spend with your furry (or feathery/scaley) family member. 🐾 Medical Care Options 🐾 Although I'm not a vet or vet tech, your pet's safety is my #1 priority. With my experience through my senior pup Poppy's chronic illnesses, I can administer various types of meds and attend to pets with extra support needs. I can likely accommodate what you need so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure. 🐾 Happy to Accommodate 🐾 Experience less stress when saying ‘see you later’ to your fur baby. If you want frequent updates, let me know. If you have a specific schedule you want your pet to follow, I’ll make it happen. 🐾 Genuine Love and Respect 🐾 Your pet will receive my attention and care (and snuggles, if they want!) while in your home. I will interact with them to the level that makes them feel the most comfortable and respected. 🐾 I Build Connections 🐾 Some animals are hesitant when their usual human or humans are replaced by a stranger for a while. I am very patient and take the time to build a relationship with your pet so they feel comfortable with me. 💵 First time booking on Rover?

“James walks the girls regularly, and today he took them on their first hike out to Pacifica. They came back so happy, relaxed, and tired—it was exactly what they needed! I really appreciate the extra care and effort James puts into their outings. Highly recommend him.”

Deborah was so helpful and responsive when our initial dog care plans fell through (a friend couldn’t do it anymore). She was quick and ready to respond and set up all needed details so we’d be all set even though we’d be out of cell service later that day. We also loved getting the photos and they had a sweet time together.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Half Moon Bay on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 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 Half Moon Bay. 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 Half Moon Bay.

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 Half Moon Bay. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
