“Emely was great!! She communicated well and took great care of our fur child. We needed a last minute walker and she came through, we appreciate you! I would recommend her to take care of your pups.”
About: I provide trusted, overnight in-home pet sitting in Santa Ynez and surrounding areas. While you’re away, your pets receive loving care, companionship, walks, feeding, and medication administration if needed — all in the comfort of their own home. For travelers or busy households, I offer optional concierge services including in-home laundry, fresh linens, and light home care. Come home to happy pets, clean laundry, and a well-cared-for home! I grew up with dogs as my parent had service dogs working for the police. I will care for any dog as it was my own. I have a rescue dog, Hercules. He is an energetic siberian husky and he is the love of my life. I am very active and would love to be outside with your 4 legged friend. I'm empathetic and I pay attention. I'm working part time and have a lot of time to care for and activate your dog! I would love to take your pup on both longer hikes or strolls. I care for any pet as if it was my own. I pay attention and do my best to provide excellent care for ur best friend
“Ashley came through on a last minutes reservation for me. They were able to take raider for a long walk for me and were a very nice couple. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area.”
About: Growing up on a ranch, I always loved animals and helped care for many. From fluffy mammals to slithery reptiles and even some amphibious friends, I've always had animals in my life. I'm no stranger to big dogs either, and right now, my world revolves around my sweet senior toy poodle, Marshmallow. Basically, if it has paws, scales, or fins, I've probably hung out with it, and I can't wait to hang out with your pet too! My extensive hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs, ensuring your beloved pet receives the best possible care. I’m currently working part time as an ABA Behavioral Therapist, so I’m quite open to a variety of times and dates that will fit best for your schedule! When I care for your pets in your home, I make sure they stick to their usual routine as much as possible. This means feeding them on schedule, giving them their meds if needed, and making sure they get plenty of potty breaks and exercise. I'll play with them, offer lots of cuddles, and send you regular updates and photos so you can see how happy and comfortable they are. I treat your home with respect and leave it just as I found it, making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved while you're away.
About: I have always loved dogs, and I have 5 years of experience taking care of dogs. I have experience with big and small dogs, as well as older pups and puppies! I am confident that I can provide your pet with the care and love it needs. I'm currently working part time, so I am free in the afternoons and evenings when I am working, and when I am not working, I am free for the whole day! When caring for your pets in their home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also respect your home and your pet’s individual personality, whether they’re playful and social or prefer to do their own thing. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands!
“Sholeh was wonderful with our Nori! She’s warm and easy to communicate with, and was flexible. Nori can be a nervous pup around new people, but Sholeh’s experience really showed — she was patient and gave her space to warm up at her own pace. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely book again!”
About: I have had a pup of my own since he was 5 months. He’s given me lots of experience on how to house train and how to teach a dog manners amongst all the other shenanigans that comes with owning a dog. I’m also a part-time caregiver for seniors in their homes. I help assist them with daily tasks such as chores, cooking, as well as toileting and assistance with standing/sitting. This job has taught me patience and how to gently care for another as if they were my family. I’m currently a student who is also a part-time caregiver for seniors. My only class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:20am-12:20pm, and my job schedule includes whatever client I am assigned to at the time. My schedule is very open, so I am flexible! I have a fenced yard with my one dog who hangs out with me when I am home. He is house-trained and well behaved, so he does not need a crate when I am gone. Though, I am able to easily crate your pup if that is what they need. I’d love to keep your dog company during check-in’s or stays, ensuring they feel safe and are given tons of pets while you are away!
“Ryan was a godsend! available all day last-minute on Thanksgiving when everyone else was booked or not accepting a solo-doggie who is not social and therefore needs one-on-one. Ryan was totally flexible, accommodating and very professional in regards to anticipating and prepping for all of Sadie's needs. i would highly recommend Ryan and will definitely call him again when next in Santa Barbara! Sadie had a wonderful 3 hour romp at one beach and later the same day another 90 mins at another beach! Needless to say a tired dog is a happy dog and she slept well that night after a full body massage for well-exercised muscles! Ryan is very caring and enthusiastic regarding animal care for cats and dogs as well as considerate, polite and accommodating towards me - yes, a self professed people-pleaser! Thank you Ryan!”

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 Las Cruces. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
