“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!! 😁”

About: I have two dogs that I have been taking care of with my family for 10 years, and have helped family friends care for pets while they are away for years before that. I am a lifelong animal lover, and can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am working as a dog sitter for the summer before I head off to college. I am generally available with three day’s notice excluding a few family events. I take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and will follow caretaking instructions to ensure they get food and walks just like they would from their owners.

She sent a thoughtful update with photos and a detailed note, and I loved that she noticed he was hesitant on certain streets and adjusted the route so he’d be comfortable. He came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend - will definitely book her again!”

About: Compassionate caretaker with 8 years of experience caring for my own dog and others. As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve always been entrusted to watch over the dogs of my friends, families, and neighbors. Now that I work fully remote, I am able to care for dogs on weekdays as well. I promise to care for your pup as they were my own. Since I work from home full time, I am able to play and watch over your dog throughout the entire day. i am able to take your dog out to use the bathroom whenever needed. Of course, I am happy to walk your pup as much as needed, preferably in the mornings. Living in a dog friendly building, your dog is welcomed and safe. There are currently no pets that live in my apartment, and I would only watch one dog at a time. Currently, I live in a spacious apartment with 4 roomates, so multiple eyes would be on your pup throughout the day. I also have a fenced private balcony so your pup could get some sun.

About: I've had dogs my whole life ranging from a 105 pound Lab to a 9 pound Chihuahua. Family friends and acquaintances have relied on me time and time again to house sit and watch their dogs/cats. As a college student, I like to keep a structured schedule, making it easy to incorporate your pet's care into my daily routine. I have set blocks of time in the mornings, between classes, and in the evenings that I dedicate to feeding, walks, and check-ins. On weekends and lighter class days, I’m able to spend extra time on longer walks, playtime, or sitting stays. I stay organized and plan ahead, so pets always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable, relaxed, and in a familiar routine. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding according to their schedule, refreshing water, providing potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care they need.

About: I grew up with both small and big dogs along with a variety of other pets. Animals are my life! I love being around them and I love showing and giving them all of the affection that they need and deserve. I am very attentive and would never leave a pet unsupervised. It is very important to me that all pets under my care are well taken care of. I used to work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility so I am very used to being around dogs of all sizes. There I bathed, fed, and cleaned up after them. I have been a veterinary technician for 5.5 years. I have gained many skills sets while working here. I love what I do! I love being able to treat and make our patients feel better. If needed I feel comfortable and confident with giving a pet medications (both oral and injectable) if needed. I am comfortable with dogs, cats, and pocket pets. I would love to welcome your pet into my home or go and visit them in their comfort zone! I will do my best to make our schedules work but there may be times when I will not be able to do drop ins or walks because of work. Please let me know if you have any questions. My time is dedicated to pet care services. My schedule is flexible and will do my best to accommodate any requests. Please let me know if your pet is on any sort of feeding/bathroom schedule. I live in an apartment with my senior chihuahua mix and two cats. My cats are friendly and ok with dogs, if needed I can separate them. Your pet would have plenty of space and would spend the day in the living room with me, I have a balcony as well. Pets will not be unsupervised outside. There is a nice grassy area at the complex, there are also 2 parks nearby that are perfect for walks. If I need to go to your home please let me know what duties need to be performed. I can also bring in mail and water plants if needed at an additional cost. We can discuss further once booked. I work full time at a veterinary hospital. I am always willing to discuss our schedules and will do my best to make it work. I will never leave pet would never unattended. I ask for specific details so I can stick as close to your pets routine as possible.

Venora was a huge help while we were visiting Half Moon Bay! We needed someone to care for and walk our dog while we played a couple rounds of golf, and she was wonderful. She happily agreed to a meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our fur-baby in her care. She took great care of him while we were away, and we truly appreciated having someone dependable and caring to help us enjoy our time in Half Moon Bay worry-free. We would absolutely recommend Venora! 🐾❤️

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Half Moon Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Half Moon Bay is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $49 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.

As of November 2026, there are 11,921 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Half Moon Bay. 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 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 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 Half Moon Bay 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 Half Moon Bay. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
