About: Hi and welcome to Idyllwild! Our names are Anna and Tyler and we are full time residents of this beautiful mountain town. 🏔️ We both have grown up with dogs and have two super friendly dogs named Gus and Murphy who spend their days running around in our fully fenced in back yard and going on walks about the scenic neighborhood. We love having furry friends over and giving them their own little mountain adventure! Guaranteed play time outside for most of the day and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. We’re a great resource for when you want to go on hikes in the area as most of the trails are not dog friendly! We both work from home full time so your dog will get lots of love and attention! For our furry friends doing drop in visits and walks, we can accommodate any schedule and frequency, as our work days are very flexible! You can expect your dog(s) to have plenty of fun, supervised, run around time in the backyard. Lots of different space for play or naps 🎉
About: My wife and I have always had various pets in our homes from dogs to reptiles. My wife Amanda has over 5 years experience in the pet care industry from grooming to administering oral medications. I am a disabled Veteran and a stay at home dad so I have plenty of time to check-in, visit or care for your fur babies. My wife has a flexible schedule and spends her free time at home caring for all our animals. When caring for pets—whether in my own home or a client’s home—I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment above all else. I ensure each pet is in a secure space free from hazards and always follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and medication. Building trust is essential, so I take time to connect with each animal, learning their personality and comfort level to help them feel relaxed and happy.
About: For as long as I can remember we had dogs and cats in our household. I've had my own German Shepherd and pitbull now for quite some time, and I can say that truly are apart of the family As of now I have plenty of time to dedicate to this duty. I am full time student but currently in between semesters, and my reserve military requirements only takes up a bit of my schedule. Maintain a proper safe fence structure. Also a steel framed kennel that is 8x24 feet so my two dogs have plenty of space to roam about. I also allow my dogs inside at night time for a nice slumber.
About: I have a past of dog walking and sitting and I am ready to take care of your pups with a brisk to long walk dependent on their needs!

I've been pet sitting long term for over 5 years now doing in home care for an aging but not quite elderly dog and I'm ready to take that care to you! I also have a history of regular playdates with my dog of 9 years and her pals of various ages from elderly to puppy. I always have time to care for a canine! I adore dogs and have patience for their kind like no other. I am available almost always except for special occasions and pre planned events. I am ready to keep your fur babies safe as per your instructions and always have my phone on me in case of emergency contact.
About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I have a lot of availability for pet care in my schedule, I do have college classes I must attend and the occasional appointment with these being non-negotiable blocks of time I must leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone WILL incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).
“Julie is fantastic. She took great care of our gal Mesa for an afternoon while Mom and Dad were playing in the mountains. She clearly loves dogs, both hers and others, and is a pleasure to meet and work with. We will certainly use her again when an all-day adventure comes calling next. Thanks Julie!!!”

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

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 Idyllwild. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Idyllwild. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
