“Patrick is an excellent communicator, which given primary very busy schedule. I always appreciate as I know my dog is getting great care! I have noticed such a big difference in Ella‘s demeanor, she is so much calmer when I get home, and I can’t help but love the candid photos and quit that Patrick sent as update! We are so thankful to have found you, Patrick!”
About: Hello! I have been a pet and animal lover since I can remember, having grown up with plenty of dogs and cats. I have some experience petsitting and walking from helping out friends and family, and I am looking to have more time with furry friends in my life, as I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own right now. I also am passionate about helping my community, and I would love to do this by making pet care easier and more stress-free! I have a lot of free time on my hands nowadays, as a seasonal worker, and I would love to take your pup on a walk or hike, or whatever you need! I am currently working about 2 weeks a month, so my availability is pretty open during the days, with almost no other obligations. I can take your pup on a walk or to a park while you’re at work, as well as assist with feeding schedules anytime of day and dog sitting as well! I believe that when working with clients, communication is the most important. I would make sure that I know what you need from me, and do so with the most respect for you, your home, and of course your pets! I am quite organized and cleanly, and will always reach out and communicate if uncertainty arises.
About: I grew up working at my parents dog kennel that was attached to our house. I took care of dogs, cats, birds, and occasionally rodents. I would help my parents scoop the yard, clean the kennels, and walk the dogs since I was 8. I now own a beautiful dog of my own who is the light of my life. For the last three years, I lived with three dogs of varying ages and sizes and helped to administer medications, train, love them equally. I would now love to be a part of your pet's lives too. I currently work part time and will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet's needs as long as the expectations are discussed prior and clearly to ensure a successful sitting experience. I am often told that dogs and cats quickly feel comfortable with me. If they are outgoing, I love to pet and play with them, if they are shy, then I am good at offering interactions while still giving the pet their space.
About: Since I was a baby, I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, learning to care for them from a young age. From feeding and playing to understanding their unique personalities, my love for animals has always been central to who I am. This lifelong passion and dedication to my pets has led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, where I can help animals live their best lives. As a pet sitter and walker, I bring this same care, knowledge, and commitment to each dog I look after. I’ve looked over many family and friends animals and love them all like my own and treat them all with love and care! :) I currently am a full time student however between classes on certain days I have huge gaps that I have more than enough time to play and walk with your pups and kitties! Mondays I am available anytime before 1 pm and after 2 pm, Tuesdays anytime before 11 am and after 1 pm, and Thursdays anytime before 11 am and after 3 pm When caring for pets, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment, whether at my home or the client’s. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, sticking to their routine to reduce any stress from being away from their family. I make sure they have fresh water along with any food asked to be given by caregiver, and engaging playtime that matches their energy level. For puppies or seniors, I provide extra patience and gentleness, adjusting activities to suit their abilities and needs. By treating each pet like my own, I aim to give them a sense of security, care, and fun during every visit.
About: I have cared for my childhood dog since I was six years old and have a lifelong love for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer dog walking, overnight care, and pet-sitting services. Whether your furry friend enjoys a walk, a game of fetch, or simply extra love and attention, I will make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a part-time employee and a student at CSU, which gives me flexibility in my schedule to help care for your pet! I’m available for walks and boarding on weekends after 12 PM, as well as on Fridays and Mondays after 11 AM. I’m unable to care for pets in my own home, but I’m more than happy to come to your home and provide loving, reliable care. If there’s a park nearby, I’d love to take your dog for a fun walk, play fetch, or give them some extra exercise and attention. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull on the leash and will make sure they stay safe and secure.
About: I have cared for pets of my own my whole life. We recently had to say goodbye to our pup, so I would love to be around dogs and help people with any dog-walking and/or dog- sitting needs.

About: I've taken care of all breeds of dog and all kinds of animals (cats, horses, lizards!) since I was in middle school, and am ready to meet your furry friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,662 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Livermore. 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 Livermore. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Livermore after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Livermore. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
