About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets company while owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I make sure to respond quickly and provide updates throughout the stay. I’m responsible, calm, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their normal environment. I currently work part-time in the evening so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available most days for pet care. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and updates while you’re away. I do my best to be responsive and reliable so both pets and owners feel comfortable throughout the stay I make sure pets stay safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focused on creating a calm, trustworthy environment for both pets and owners.

About: Hello, I’m Krystal 👋🏼 I am so excited to meet your furry family members! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and because my entire family still has dogs, I am constantly around them. Having previously owned a Doberman, I am entirely comfortable, confident, and experienced with large breeds and strong dogs, I love small dogs, too. From high-energy pups who need tons of exercise to sweet, gentle giants and tiny lapdogs, I am ready to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. I promise to treat your beloved pet with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give to my own family’s dogs. I can't wait to give your pup a fun, safe, and happy experience. I work from home full-time, which gives me a highly flexible schedule. Because I am remote, your pet will have constant company, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. Growing up around dogs of all sizes and energies—including my own Doberman—means I know how to read dog body language and maintain a secure environment. My apartment has a patio in the back, your pet can catch some sun there if needed, too.

About: I've had dogs all my life. I started taking care of mine (+feeding, grooming, bathing, training, etc) when I was about 10 years old. I mostly work mid-shifts so I'm available for night stays when needed. Weekend mornings are completely free so early walks. Mondays and Tuesdays are completely free as well. I would prefer to care for your dog at your house because mine isn't fenced in. I will make sure to ask/know about your house ahead of time to do the best for your dog.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs (varies ages, sizes), along with those with dietary needs. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life so I understand the responsibility that comes with it. I currently have a dog and cat of my own. I’m not afraid of big dogs and have patience to build trust with cats. I’m free on the weekends since I work part time in the week with a school district. Also I’m a full time student in my senior year. I follow whatever rules you have for your dog. Make sure they are properly looked after as if they were my own. I would never strike a dog but just correct it with words.

Veronica has been amazing with my client’s dog from day one. She is gentle, calm, and really seems to understand what dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. She always arrives on time, gives clear updates after each walk, and sends thoughtful notes about how the walk went. On top of that, she’s kind, polite, and very respectful of our home and privacy—everything is always left neat and exactly as she found it. I have complete peace of mind when Veronica is scheduled, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.

Finding someone you trust with your dogs is priceless, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with her. She is incredibly patient, caring, and genuinely loves every dog she works with. From daily walks to exciting hikes and endless playtime, she goes above and beyond to keep the dogs active, happy, and engaged. What truly sets her apart is her natural connection with animals. She has a calm, charismatic energy that dogs seem to gravitate toward instantly. You can tell she doesn’t just see this as a job—she genuinely enjoys spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. Beyond her professionalism, she brings such a positive vibe wherever she goes. She’s reliable, communicative, and always has a warm, uplifting attitude. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such capable and loving hands. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dogs like family.

About: I just love spending time with cats and dogs. I am an active volunteer at a animal shelter. I participated in programs like dog socialization, public training classes and clicker training. I am also a team member of the cat adoption program which tasks include husbandry, socialization, adoption counseling and so on. And I do all of this for fun. Enjoying it 100%. Looking forward to have the chance to meet your furry friends!! Bilingual: English, 普通话 I have a flexible working schedule which can easily accommodate your need. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visit up to 3 times a day as long as I get a request in advance. Safety is the first priority for both of us. I always ask the parents for what is allowed and what is not. For dogs, I give them all my attention during walks (consistently of poop/pee, trash eating, etc.,). And after walks, I always wipe their paws and check for any signs of abnormalities. For cat drop-in visits, I perform husbandry including litter box cleaning and refilling, feeding and socializing if needed. Customization is welcomed. Communication is very important and trust can be built. Let’s make this a great experience.

With my knack for attention to detail I can easily pay mind to any specific instructions I may need to follow. I give my pets love, patience and understanding and would treat your animals with the same respect I give my own.

About: Hello, I’ve had experience with dogs from a young age. I got my first dog when I was 10 years old and cared for him until I was 25. About five years ago, I brought home my current dog as a puppy, just a few weeks old, and I’ve been raising him ever since. He’s truly like my kid. Through these years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with training, daily care, grooming, and understanding dog behavior. I’ve also learned how to handle situations like anxiety and stress, making sure he feels safe and comfortable. Having a dog has not only been a joy, but it has also taught me patience, responsibility, and the deep bond that comes from caring for animals. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Since I already care for my own dog, I’m used to scheduling walks, feeding, grooming, and playtime around my day. I make sure to prioritize their needs by setting aside time in the morning and evening for exercise, and I stay consistent with training and routines to keep them comfortable. Taking care of pets has become second nature to me, so incorporating it into my daily life feels natural and rewarding. As a pet boarding provider, the safety and well-being of the animals in my care is my top priority. I ensure that my home is a secure environment, free from hazards such as exposed wires, toxic plants, or small objects that pets could swallow. I provide separate, comfortable spaces for each pet as needed, with access to fresh water, proper nutrition, and appropriate bedding. I maintain a clean environment by regularly sanitizing food and water bowls, litter areas, and common spaces. I supervise pets at all times to prevent conflicts and ensure that each animal receives individual attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owners regarding feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral needs to ensure continuity of care. Overall, my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel at home while staying with me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Irwindale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Irwindale on Rover is $22.2 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 22,219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Irwindale. 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 Irwindale. 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 Irwindale.

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 Irwindale. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
