“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!! 😁”

“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.”

“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.”

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.
About: I’ve owned pets all my life. I had a dearly loved dog that I saw through from puppyhood all the way to thirteen years old when she passed from cancer. I’ve had two cats since they were kittens, one of which had hyperthyroidism which required daily treatments. He has since passed away from kidney failure at seventeen. As a team with my sister, we personally trained our dog — and even the cats — using books to learn how to bond with the animals. I’ve not had a conventional job working with animals, but I am my friends’ go-to for pet sitting. I’ve done extended stay pet sitting (ten+ days) involving overnight care. I’ve handled daily medications for cats and dogs and worked on leash training for a friend’s dog as well as house training puppies. I currently live with an elderly cat and three freshwater aquariums. I’m available most days of the week and on weekends. I’m a freelance artist and my work is easy to time manage around. I always clean up after a pet and make sure they have easy access to water at all times. I know how to keep dogs inside a fenced area and keep inside cats from running out the door.
“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.”

I have experience with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands! As a full-time teacher who recently moved from out of state, I'm currently waiting for my teaching credentials to transfer. This transition gives me a flexible schedule perfect for pet sitting! I'm available for daytime care, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away.

I also work closely with pet parents to align with their preferences to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience for both pets and their people.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many friend's and neighbor's dogs. I just finished playing Division 1 soccer and have tons of energy! Would love to run/walk/train some dogs with lots of energy. I also enjoy showing the older, more chill doggos some love. I am currently looking for jobs so I have a pretty open schedule. I recently graduated and from UC Davis and would love some time with furry friends. I take my dogs on 2 walks per day and let them out a few times in between to potty. I can walk/feed/train/and show some extra love to your pup if you need some extra help!

About: I’ve worked at a doggie daycare for 5 years and we have all types of dogs and puppies. We go on daily outings for 45min or more and always the beach so I’m down for long walks with the doggies I work M-F 8-3 so available anytime after that and weekends! I’m more available on weekdays than weekends. But anything is possible and I can work it out either way I have had an animals all my life and have dealt with the beginning stage of puppies. I have always been the one to look after my dogs and family dogs meaning feeding them, taking them out, etc

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Jen walked our sweet boy weekly for approximately two months! She was always on time and gave very detailed feedback on the Rover card. Also was very supportive of our continued training during walks as our boy is a pup still working on his manners! Thanks Jen!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner/lover my whole life! Happy to do whatever makes your doggie feel comfortable while you are away! I know how much pets mean to their owners and would love to offer some TLC to yours when you can’t be there. I’ve also done housesitting for many people over the years and I’ll take great care of your home as well! I can also do chores around the house while you are away, if desired. I specialize in pets that are higher maintenance or require special care (administer meds, nervous/anxious animals, older animals, etc.) I hope to get to meet your furry friend(s) very soon! I am a friendly, down to earth, clean person that will make your time away worry free!
About: Hi! I’m Brenna, 26, and a lifelong dog lover. I grew up with dogs and especially miss my parents’ Australian Shepherd, so getting to spend time with pups genuinely makes me happy. I’d love to have a dog of my own someday, but for now I’m excited to help care for and spend time with yours! I work fully remote, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of quality time. I’m active, reliable, and always up for a beach walk, neighborhood stroll, or hiking adventure with a furry companion. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re part of the family. I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m young, active, and love being outdoors during the week and on weekends — whether that’s beach walks, neighborhood strolls, or getting out on the trails. Honestly, all I’m missing is a pup to bring along with me! I live in a cozy apartment with a small backyard and no other pets. I an about a 3-minute walk from a fire trail and a 5-minute walk to the beach, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor time, and exercise.
About: I love helping families with dogs get their dog the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I always treat dogs like they're my own, I love animals of all kinds and can handle all ages and a wide range of personality types. I'm patient with dogs who pull the leash or go slow and do a lot of sniffing. I work part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule from 10am-3pm on Mo-Fr. I am happy to walk outside no matter the weather. I have a new EV to pick your dog up in and take them to a trail head. I always make sure their collar, leash, and/or harness is secured. I am good at following instructions and am accepting of advice you have about taking care of your dog.

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 June 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 .
As of June 2026, there are 11,752 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 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:
- 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.
