About: I treat every dog like my own—patient, loving, and attentive to their unique needs. I have 10 years of experience and work with animals full time. I recently moved here and am fully focused on pet care. With no other job, your pet will have my full attention, time, and energy.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. I walk and care for my own dogs regularly, and I’ve also helped take care of family friends’ and friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I’m currently a student at San Diego State University, so I am taking a few classes but my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m mostly free all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available later in the afternoon and evenings, which gives me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and pet care.

I follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure their normal routine is kept as much as possible. I’m attentive during walks, feeding, and playtime, and I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own.”
“Jelena was responsive, friendly, punctual, and a good communicator during this process. It was a somewhat last-minute holiday weekend request, she handled everything great. Would definitely re-book with her.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! We had her walk our Belgian Malinois for the week of Christmas. We picked her because having large dogs herself we knew she would be comfortable with our Jax. She is definitely a dog lover and Jax loved his walk/run with her every morning. She is very sweet and easy to work with. Loved seeing her smiling face every day. Thank you Elizabeth!”

About: Hi there, I’m Kelsey! I’ve always been a huge animal person and genuinely believe life is better with a dog or cat around. I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets, from regularly watching friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats to having dogs of my own over the years. I’m comfortable with everything from walks, playtime, sleepovers, feeding and cuddles to sticking to specific routines and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work fully remotely on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m available during the day on those days for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime and keeping your pet company.

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life, and absolutely adore caring for and spending time with these divine beings!

About: Hi! Im Haley😊 Ive been watching my family, friends, and neighbor's dogs for most of my life. After fostering a german shepherd puppy throughout highschool and living with a doberman (and three cats) throughout college, I really miss spending time with the fur babies and am happy to watch over yours! 🐾🥰 I am a nurse working part time at the moment, so I have a lot of flexibility and time for walks, play time at the dog park, and other adventures with your pup 🐶 While I’m unable to host pets in my own home, I’m more than happy to come to yours and provide personalized care for your pet ☺️
About: I am a frequent dog sitter. I have always been the one who my family and friends have reached out to when they need help with their dog. I just moved to San Diego and I am looking for work. I have a lot of flexibility, and looking for something to fill my time while making some money. I have a golden retriever at home who I love and spoil. I will keep your dog safe, and give it a lot of attention and love.
About: I am new to Rover but I have been that ‘go-to’ person to pet sit for friends & family and I have had dogs throughout my life. I recently lost my fur baby due to cancer after 14 yrs. Friends & Family have trusted me with their pets for walks, pet sitting and feeding. I love puppies to senior dogs. I will take care of your fur baby like it’s my own. I’m currently working from home part time so I have plenty of time to play, walk or feed your pups. I am available for walks or doggy day care Monday to Friday. I live close to a park and walking and bike path so walks with lots of sniffs guaranteed. And of course, lots of pets and cuddles.
About: I grew up with pets and have been around animals for most of my life. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, ages, medical conditions, and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I also understand how important communication is, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I work full-time and tend to be in the office Monday through Wednesday, but can flex my Mondays as-needed. Thursday and Fridays are work from home days. I always keep an eye on animals when they’re in the yard. If there is no fence you can be assured they’ll be on their leash. Happy to cater to whatever your needs are.
“Lauren is quick to respond and has been great helping me out with last minute requests. She sends me the best pictures of my pup and I know my pup adores her! Lauren is timely, trustworthy, and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her to walk my Midge!”
About: I have always been the biggest animal lover. I am vegan for ethical reasons! I used to volunteer for the Paws Adoption Center in Chicago. There, I was involved with the community outreach team, and I’d help put together adoption packets and pamphlets. I mostly spent my time doing physical labor— that is, walking the dogs, cleaning up after them, etc. In San Diego, I live with my roommate’s friendly little Maltese dog in a pet-friendly apartment. Growing up, my family has had a total of four dogs. Three of them we adopted about 15 years ago, and I witnessed them through their teething process and helped potty trained them. A couple of years ago, we welcomed a new, adult dog into our home in Chicago. During winter break of 2017, I successfully taught her several new tricks. In addition, family members and friends have asked me to pet-sit during special events or lengthy vacations. I am very willing to work with new dogs with different personalities who may require special care. My schedule is completely open, and my apartment is a comfortable, clean, and spacious place for dogs to stay in. I am especially willing to travel to your home if that happens to be your preferred option. I am looking forward to accommodating dogs to their own special needs. I am working part-time and can check on your dog at least every six hours! Many days, I only work four hour shifts, so I can probably check on them even more often! I am very neat and clean! I will treat your space with respect the way I do mine. Let me know which spaces your pet is allowed to go into!
“Sarah is the best dog walker ever ! She not only made my dog feel loved but made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup in her hands. She kept me updated and made sure Elsa had such a good birthday when I couldn’t be there ! We will definitely call her again :)”

Jelena has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s dependable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands, and it’s obvious they enjoy spending time with her. She communicates well, is always professional, and goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Jelena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!
Elise was a great sitter who really listened and followed my instructions for taking care of my dog. During our meet and greet, Elise was comfortable interacting with my dog and my dog really enjoyed playing with her too. Elise sent me picture updates during the walk and I can tell my dog had fun with her too. I would definitely recommend booking Elise's services!
Hannah did an amazing job taking care of Stevie while we were out of town for the weekend. She walked her around the neighborhood making sure to capture pictures and walking time accurately and swiftly! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly helper!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in La Jolla on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,203 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across La Jolla. 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 La Jolla. 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 La Jolla.
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 La Jolla. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
