About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.

About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I have been around animals my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs since I was born and have experience caring for both dogs and foster cats of all ages. I am comfortable handling puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior animals, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I currently have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are well-socialized with other animals. If a pet prefers their own space, I also have the ability to keep dogs separated to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. My home is equipped with supplies for dogs, including crates and other essentials, and I am happy to accommodate additional needs whenever possible. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication reminders, cuddles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I will treat them like family. In addition, I am CPR and First Aid certified and have extensive volunteer experience in healthcare. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout every stay. I am a recent high school graduate and an incoming University of Florida student, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I have reliable transportation and am available for boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Because of my open availability, I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and last-minute requests whenever possible. My goal is to provide dependable care that works with both your schedule and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with supplies to care for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are comfortable around other animals. If needed, I can easily keep pets separated using crates and separate areas of the home to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure. I am experienced with both dogs and cats, including foster cats, puppies, and kittens. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests provided by owners. I currently have a senior dog of my own and have experience administering medications and following consistent care routines. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

When we go out of town, we always worry about the furry family member we leave behind. We have a 9 yo diabetic yellow lab Buddy and because of his special needs, had in the past, spend most of our trip worrying if he was getting the care he needed. Until we found rover and Rhea. She is very caring and compassionate with Buddy, giving him long walks, affection and attention to his special needs. Rheas' daily report cards and photos put our minds at ease that Buddy was well cared for in our absence. Because of Rheas' compassion for animals and dependability, we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for that special caregiver.

Great with Zulu! Nadia has been absolutely wonderful walking our standard poodle, Zulu. She keeps a great pace and covers a solid distance on every walk—which is exactly what Zulu needs to stay healthy and happy. You can tell she truly enjoys being with dogs, and Zulu always comes back from their outings relaxed and content. Nadia is punctual, professional, and communicative. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and actually gets them moving!

About: Since a young child I have cared for animals of all sorts, from young to old! I have always cared for animals in a way that sets me apart from others and it’s been noted by anyone that has hired me. From administering medications to just keeping your animal company, I can be your go to person! I have never had issues with animals not liking me and I take pride in the fact that by the end of my time with them, they won’t want me to leave! I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and attention they so dearly deserve! I love keeping you updated on your animals because I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur babies. I also have experience with anxious animals as well and no matter what type of animal I always read their body language and respect what they want’ I mainly have a very free schedule which allows me to do frequent check ins through out the day, whether that be to feed your animals, play with them or walk them if wanted! The only thing I don’t currently offer is boarding at my house due to space! I have done many jobs where I stay in the clients home and take on any tasks that the animals needs as well as just checking in on the animals multiple times in a day. I pride myself in also keeping you updated, as I know how stressful it can be to be away from your fur babies. I have experience administering medications and can follow a strict schedule!

Poseidon had a great time and burned a lot of energy walking with her. She mixed it up well between walks and a visit to the dog park, and gave good reports on the walks.

About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs for about 15 years and genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how stressful it can be trusting someone new with your baby. I’m big on communication and will always keep you updated with pictures, walks, meals, playtime and plenty of attention. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday without wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule your pet is used to. Whether they want long walks and playtime or they’re happiest curled up getting attention, I’m here for it. 🐾 I am currently unemployed so I have a very flexible schedule. I can work around your time. I am also free on the weekends too. In my home, I create a warm and inviting environment where pets feel safe and loved. With plenty of playtime, regular exercise, and attention to individual needs, I ensure that each furry friend receives the utmost care and affection. I live in a townhouse but have a pet park next to me, where they can explore and interact with other furry friends, and I’m mindful of any dietary requirements or medications they may need. When caring for pets in their own homes, I understand the importance of maintaining their familiar surroundings. I follow your instructions meticulously, keeping to their routines, and providing consistent care. From feeding and grooming to exercise and cuddles, I treat your pets like they’re my own, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you’re away. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are my top priorities. With me, you can trust that your furry companions will receive exceptional care, attention, and love. Let’s discuss how I can provide the best care for your beloved pets!

About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.

About: I began house sitting in high school for close family friends and neighbors. The first family who trusted me had quite the crew — two birds, a turtle, two senior cats, a dog, and even a couple of fish. Caring for their pets, especially the cats, taught me early on how important consistency and attention to routines can be. Since then, I’ve cared for and walked many dogs while babysitting and nannying, both for short visits and overnight stays. I understand the level of detail it takes to help pets feel comfortable and to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. My own dog tore his ACL while I was in college, and for months I carried him up and down stairs while managing his recovery. He also had allergies that required daily medicated baths, a special diet, and multiple medications. He was clever enough to try to outsmart me when it came to pills, which taught me patience, creativity, and a sense of humor when caring for animals. I truly believe every pet has a unique personality. I approach pet care with attentiveness, patience, and playfulness so animals feel safe, understood, and well cared for. My goal is always happy pets and complete peace of mind for their owners. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m happy to provide care before and after work and occasionally in the evenings depending on timing and location. With advance notice, I’m also happy to adjust my weekend schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Irvine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,021 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Irvine. 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 Irvine. 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 Irvine.

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 Irvine. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
