About: I have taken care of my family's pets for a decade, including senior cats and puppies. For a few months now I have been caring for two birds. I have full availability, and open holidays too. I have a part-time job but last minute schedulings are welcome. Preferably 7 AM through 10 PM. I take pride in maintain a pet's feeding and walking schedules while caring for their enrichment and entertainment. I do my best to ensure pets have clean water and, in the case of cats, clean litter boxes.

We had such a great experience with Calynne! She took the time to stop by for a preview visit beforehand to make sure she and our pup were a good match, which I really appreciated. It made us feel immediately comfortable and confident that he would be in great hands. During her visit she was patient, attentive, and gave him so much love — even leaving him a few treats before heading out. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she works with. We’re so grateful for her time and care, and will absolutely be booking her again!

Kairi is absolutely in love with Martha and she's been a dream to work with. Attentive and available, she checks in and is great at staying on time or asking questions when needed. Martha takes directions really well and communicates effectively. Plus my 2-year-old Siberian Husky Kairi is always thrilled to see Martha and go for a walk. We are absolutely regulars now!

About: I have been caring for pets my whole life. Within the last few years I have worked for a dog walking company named "WAG". I would walk dogs, house sit, and occasionally board dogs. I have also watched plenty of pets for friends and family over the years. Through rover I would love to walk your dog, sit for them at your house, or board them at mine depending on your preference. I have live in a townhouse with a small back area with turf and an upstairs patio. The complex has plenty of grass for potty breaks as well. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am very comfortable with every breed and every size of dog. Many potty breaks will be given along with a lot of pets and attention. I love spoiling dogs and I can't wait to meet you and your fury friend! I work 10 days a month so I have plenty of free time to walk your pet and give them all of the attention they deserve. We have a small back patio with some turf for your pup to go potty and get fresh air. When we leave the pets will be inside with all of the doors locked. They will be free to roam the living room area. If you crate your dog I am happy to accommodate for that.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth, so caring for furry friends is second nature to me. Animals aren't just pets; they're family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours! I specialize in family-style boarding, meaning your pet will have full run of the house and constant companionship. I am a full time stay at home mom, so my schedule revolves around being here to provide supervised play, timely feedings, and plenty of love. We have a friendly 4yr old Maltipoo who absolutely loves making new friends! For everyone's safety, I only host dogs that are child-friendly. Your pup will also enjoy our fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for secure, off-leash zoomies and sunshine. We have a fenced-in yard for plenty of playtime, along with a warm and welcoming home where your pup will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s doggy day care, home style boarding, drop ins, or walks, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. Your pup will enjoy cuddles, playtime, outdoor fun, and plenty of love and attention. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re cared for in a stress-free, homey environment instead of a kennel. Why Choose Me? • Family-style care, not kennel care 🏡 • Safe, fenced yard for playtime 🌿 • Experience with [small/big/puppies/etc. — if you want me to specify] 🐕 • Flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and daycare ⏰ • Regular updates and pictures so you never miss a moment 📸 I’d love to meet you and your pup to see if we’re a great fit!

Justine is great 👍. Hoppy doesn't always like to walk when it's warm outside so she will play with her in the house. She's very attentive to Hoppy's needs. We are sad that she moved out of Long Beach, she will be missed.

About: I have been taking care of pets for about 10 years coming from personal, family, and friends. I currently live with 2 dogs and a bunny! I do my best to make sure all animals are loved and feel at home. Im currently a college student home for the summer so I am pretty available all throughout the day. I don’t have any other job so pet care is my first responsibility. Ideally I would not pet sit at my own home due to my other animals and small living space but am free and open to pet care at the owners home!

About: I have 2 years of dog sitting experience, including caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience house sitting and serving with high school students at my church, which has strengthened my patience, communication, and responsibility—qualities I bring to every pet care job. Whether your pet needs playtime, a calm presence, or just someone to stick to their routine, I’m here to help! I’m currently committed to flight school. My schedule is different everyday. Sometimes I’m flying, sometimes my event gets canceled. My schedule for the next day comes out 3pm the day before, so planning other activities is pretty spontaneous. But I want something I can do on the side that’s flexible and financially rewarding so that I can save money to pay off my student loans, invest, and take my girlfriend on some dates! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I keep the environment clean, calm, and secure—always double-checking doors, gates, and food instructions. During walks, I stay alert and prioritize the dog’s safety, using secure leashes and avoiding risky situations.

About: I provide reliable, attentive care to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies and senior pets, including basic training support, structured routines, gentle senior care, and medication reminders when needed. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, and I always treat them like my own. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I build my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible and get consistent attention throughout the day. Living near a lake and a grass area in my apartment complex also makes it easy to provide regular exercise and outdoor time. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe apartment environment with plenty of attention and structure. I live right next to a lake and have access to a grass field within my apartment complex, which is great for regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I make sure pets get consistent routines, playtime, and rest based on their needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or slower-paced senior pets. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

We love Bobbie! She walks our dog Coco twice a week. She is lovely, reliable and proactive. On a few occasions when the weather forecast has been for rain she checks in ahead of time to confirm if Coco will still want a walk. Coco gets so excited when she sees her and has lots of fun with Bobbie. Could not recommend more highly!

Matt is a dog whisperer! He did a fantastic job walking our 75-pound pit mix, Rosie, for an hour each morning for 8 days. He was very punctual, great at dealing with Rosie’s habit of scrounging for food and her dog reactivity. He also took the sweetest photos for Rosie’s walk report cards. We will absolutely book Matt again!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - La Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in La Mesa 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 9,340 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across La Mesa. 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 Mesa. 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 Mesa.

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 Mesa. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
