Zackary and Mayumi were so sweet. If I could rate them six stars I would. They immediately felt like good friends and we knew we could trust them with our babies. They were so communicative and they’re our new neighborhood go-to’s :)

About: Hi there, my name is Amanda and I’m so excited to care for your pet! I just moved to OC in the last few months and am looking to build up my Rover clientele. I’m in school at the moment to become an elementary school teacher and am hoping to get some supplemental income (plug some dog and cat snuggles!!). Growing up with cats, I’ve taken care of them from a young age. However, I love and have experience with dogs as well. I’m looking forward to getting to know your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon. My teacher credentialing program is fully online so I can be flexible with my times for visits throughout the day. I will do my best to accommodate last minute requests. I’m also happy to schedule a meetup if you’d like! I will follow any directions and instructions left word for word. I will also make sure to send daily updates so you can vacation / be away from home stress-free!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, they truly make my world. Over the years i’ve cared for a variety of breeds, from chihuahua to german shepherd. Whether they are active and calm or big and small, I understand the unique needs of each. As a cat owner, I know the respect and attention they require and i’m always happy to offer the care they deserve. Whether that includes using me as their personal throne or haunting me from the other side of the room. As an athlete, i’m more than happy to take dogs on runs to burn some energy and get them (and me) out of the house. Whether your pet needs a companion or someone go run a marathon with (although I admittedly am not THAT motivated), I am happy to do it! I am currently getting a masters degree in clinical psychology and all my classes are evening. I also coach a volleyball team in evenings as well. Anything morning to afternoon is preferred. If you need evening care, we can definitely communicate! I have been in various different living situations and environments with animals. Whether they have a strict eating schedule or an important walk time, I am capable to do what you need. I have worked with dogs that need to be crated or continuously watched. Whatever makes you feel most comfortable while you are away, I am happy to do.

About: I have always cared for pets and am a sincere lover of animals. Growing up, my family would foster shelter dogs so I am used to interacting with different dog personalities and breeds. Professionally, I have been a pet sitter for all kinds of pets for 5 years and 3 years on Rover. I have experience working with senior pets, pets with health conditions, and pets with special needs or behavioral challenges. I have received positive feedback that I get along well with even the most skittish or antisocial animals! I have a very calm and patient demeanor and can easily build trust with animals. Safety and wellbeing are my top priority, which is why I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I am also currently working on certification for pet training. I care deeply about providing high quality service and ensuring your pets are as comfortable and well cared for as possible. I know inviting a stranger into your home and trusting them to care for your precious furry ones takes a lot of trust, and I do my best to maintain that trust by providing transparent and regular communication. I will care for your pets as if they were my own fur babies! I currently work a remote job so my availability is very open and flexible. I have regular availability during the week day, evenings and weekends. I am happy to work with you to develop a schedule that you are comfortable with and that meets your pets' specific needs. I always aim to spend plenty of quality time with your pets so they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I will come to you in your home and provide the convenience of caring for your pet in the environment they are most familiar with and comfortable in. I know animals thrive with a consistent routine, so I will follow your pet care instructions thoroughly. I care about meeting your pets' specific needs, so I will adapt my service to accommodate any specific requests or concerns. I will also ensure your home is just as tidy as you left it.

About: * 3+ years of paid pet sitting and house sitting experience * Experienced caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs * Current owner and caregiver of an 18-year-old senior dog * Daily feeding and fresh water routines * Dog walking and regular exercise * Playtime, enrichment, and companionship * Administering oral medications when needed (if owner is comfortable with me doing so) * Monitoring pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health * Cleaning up after pets and maintaining a clean environment * Following each owner’s specific care instructions and routines * Providing lots of love, attention, and affection to help pets feel safe while their owners are away * Comfortable with multiple dogs in one household * Experience with overnight pet sitting and house sitting * Keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind * Patient, calm, and attentive with shy, anxious, or senior pets Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own 18-year-old senior dog daily, which includes feeding, walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and making sure she’s comfortable and happy. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always make it a priority to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, clean up after them, play with them, give them plenty of affection, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, routines, or special care. When caring for pets, I treat them like they’re my own. I pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that helps both pets and their owners feel comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life! I was raised caring for our pets as part of the family and I hope to get the chance to extend my care and love to your furry family members! I also have a 1.5 year old mini dachshund named Pabu - so I have experience with the puppy years! I love to try to fulfill as many of your pet’s needs as possible - playing tug of war, setting up sniffing games, and even teaching them a trick or two for their mental stimulation. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I currently work T/W/Th so have plenty of flexibility during the rest of the week when it comes to caring for your furry friends! My puppy is crate trained and I’m walking distance from a dog park. For your furry friends, I’m comfortable walking them along new or familiar routes and have experience with reactive dogs if they need a little extra attention to the surroundings! I also have experience setting mental stimulation games!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. I’ve always been a huge dog and pet lover and have had them growing up. I currently own a pomsky and have had a German Shepard and Pomeranian in the past. I love being active as well as being around dogs. Walking is a great form of therapy for me and being around animals as well as nature are some of my favorite things. I have a fenced yard as well as crates if needed for sleeping/ staying in. My priority is to keep them safe and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Lisa! For the past 15 years, I had the joy of raising my sweet Australian Cattle Dog, Gondola. She was my heart, my hiking buddy, and my constant shadow. Sadly, she recently crossed the rainbow bridge at age 15. While I’m not quite ready to adopt again, I can’t imagine life without dogs. That’s why I’d love to open my home and my heart to care for yours. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or anything in between—I understand the love, attention, and gentle care every dog deserves. Dogs in my care will get: • Lots of love, cuddles, and attention • Playtime and walks suited to their energy level • A calm, safe environment where they feel at home I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I promise to treat your pup like family—because that’s what dogs are. 💛 Let me give your dog the care, companionship, and love they deserve while you’re away. I work from home so can tend to your pets and take them from walks multiple times a day. They will not be alone during the day. I have a gated front patio and access to parks around my neighborhood. I also live close to dog beach if your dog likes to play in the sand.

About: I’m Margarida 😊 I have been a pet caretaker for 10+ years. I’ve done foster services, worked as a veterinary assistant, and have been a pet sitter now for 3 years. My Experience 🐾 I’ve fostered hundreds of cats from all areas of life and socialization stages. From newborns to elderly cats, pregnant mothers/in labor, cats with disabilities and feral rescues in need of socialization. I can proudly say every cat I've fostered has always gone to a forever home and it warms my heart to see rescued animals become friendly and sociable with humans. I worked as a vet assistant during my time in college for Community Mobile Vet in Santa Cruz. My job consisted of handling cats and dogs of various sizes, as well as birds and other animals, which included administering medication and claw clipping. Services 🦮 I am experienced in bottle feeding, giving medication, cleaning up waste, basic grooming, claw clipping, exercise, and socialization of cats/dogs of various sizes/ages/abilities. Contacting me 📞 You can call/text me through this website and I should reply shortly. I am flexible and available all days of the week! Weekends may differ, but please always check my calendar for availability! My family and I have been deeply invested in animal welfare and care since I was young. I no longer live with my family and I miss the joy of being around animals and taking care of my own pets and foster pets, I love to meet and care for other people’s pets! Having been a vet assistant and fostering hundreds of cats, I have to be prepared for the unexpected and take precautions with every animal I meet. It's extremely important to be aware of any triggers or risks in an environment so I can be accommodating to the pet I am caring for. I like to provide a very friendly and attentive environment where I can gauge their needs at any given moment. This includes being accommodating to a pet’s social/behavioral needs and giving them the space to warm up to me.

I am SO happy that I made the decision to try out Rover. Skyler is an absolute gem. My Siberian Husky and Chihuahua are difficult dogs to deal with (and do not trust many people), but they LOVE Skyler! They look forward to their play time at the nearby dog park and their walks with her. I have seen a huge change in their behavior ever since she started walking them routinely during the week, while I’m at work. Skyler is flexible, quick with responding, understanding, reliable, punctual, and passionate about animals! I am so grateful for her! I highly recommend her to anyone! 10/10. A+.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Huntington Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Huntington Beach on Rover is $26.75 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 12,131 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Huntington Beach. 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 Huntington Beach. 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 Huntington Beach.

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 Huntington Beach. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
