“Alexander has walked my dog for two walks so far, and he has been AWESOME. Super reliable, easy to work with, communicative, and very clearly cares for dogs. Highly recommend him, and I’m looking forward to working with him regularly! It’s my first experience using Rover, and I’m really grateful we found Alexander!”
“Michael has been amazing with our young, active dog while I recovered from surgery. He is right on schedule with 7 day/week service in my case. I really appreciate his calm nature and pro dog handling skills. Highly recommend.”
“Molly is amazing! I needed a last minute dog walker and she really came through. My rambunctious pup was no match for Molly's skills in handling her high energy. She was punctual and very communicative and really put me to eaze on my last minute outing, as I was very lucky to have connected with Molly. Will definitely use again in the future!”
About: My name is Olga and I am thrilled to host your furry friend through this amazing pet grooming platform. As a passionate animal enthusiast, I understand the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for pets when their owners are away. About me: I have been an avid animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was always filled with joy and companionship from a variety of pets, from cute dogs to playful cats and even the occasional feathered friend. My sincere love for animals has only deepened over the years. Since I move a lot, I cannot afford to have my own dog, so I am ready to give warmth and care to your pet. Your pet's stay: During your pet's stay with me, you can expect regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see how much fun he is having. I understand that every pet is unique and try to tailor their experience to suit their individual needs and preferences. Safety first: Rest assured, your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly, hazard-free environment and am familiar with basic pet first aid. Let's connect: I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members! If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, do not hesitate to contact us. Together we can provide your pets with an unforgettable experience. We look forward to making new furry friends! Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine. I prioritize dedicated time for walks, play, and feeding. Mornings usually kick off with an energizing walk, followed by playtime in the afternoon. Evenings involve another stroll for some fresh air. Daily routines help establish a sense of consistency and comfort for the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Additionally, I work remotely and thats why I stay flexible and adaptable to accommodate each pet's unique needs and preferences. In my home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun for your pet, offering regular walks, playtime, and a consistent feeding schedule. I create a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring a home-away-from-home experience. When caring for pets at the client's home, I adapt to their routines, following feeding schedules, replicating familiar activities, and maintaining clear communication to provide a seamless and comfortable experience for their pets.
“Artem is Osito’s best friend! They have been going on two walks per week together for nearly a year now, and Artem’s arrivals at our house are always a highlight of Osito’s week. Artem is communicative, prompt, and friendly. We’re so lucky to have found such a good walking pal for our pup!”
“CJ is fantastic! He is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be having him stay with Chase during our next trip abroad. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet and your home are well cared for. Chase really took a shine to CJ, probably because of his calm and kind manner with him and the Treats!”
“Jennifer was punctual, professional, and friendly. She started walking Gus weekly and he got on with her easily. He came back happy and ready for a nap. Definitely helpful when I am working.”
About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)
About: Our family has had a black lab/boxer for over 8 years, and I grew up with dogs in the household. I am active and we love to take our pup on walks, to the park, and play around the family. Would love to extend my care to your dog, as a home away from home or puppy playdate treat. I'm currently a stay at home mom and freelance artist, so available for flexible doggy day care and overnight boarding. Please reach out for initial meet and greet or to schedule. We have a fenced in yard, active middle aged dog who gets along great with all size pups, and a loving home with 3 girls who also love animals.
“Excellent communication and attention to the weather to avoid overheating Ceara's paws. Ceara was calm, happy and well exercised when we returned. G. was pleasant and professional.”
About: I love dogs, but can't have any of my own. I took 5 years of dog care and training classes at the 4-H club and have cared for and groomed them at every opportunity since then. I am mostly available to do dog walking and feed your pet, but I would consider overnight stays if I am needed. I can't wait to hear from you! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I structure my days with regular walking, feeding, and check-in windows, and I’m used to building my schedule around animals’ needs rather than squeezing them in. Because I already care for my own dog and take on Rover bookings, things like timely walks, consistent routines, play, and attention are part of my normal day, not an interruption. I’m reliable with schedules and flexible enough to adjust when a pet needs a little extra time or care. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Most of my bookings are drop-in visits and walks rather than overnights. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and light grooming as needed—making sure pets get real attention, not just a quick check-in. I’m respectful of your home and attentive to your pet’s individual needs, and I always aim to make visits feel calm, familiar, and comforting. I share thoughtful updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Need some side work to keep busy. Exercise for me and a dog at the same time makes sense… I’m experienced with all animals and have had a dog that liked to run away. So I’m wise to the tricks No one will get lost
“Meg did such a great job taking walking our two dogs, one an eager puppy and our cranky older 6-year old. We appreciated Meg’s willingness to meet our pups prior to booking. She updated me with pictures during her visit and showed up within the desired time frame to walk our pups. We will definitely be using Meg in the future.”
“We have two dogs who can be a bit reactive when walked by leash. My wife and I were instructed by professional dog trainers on how to keep them calm and under control when they see another dog. John picked up the training methods quickly and had both of our guys exhibiting their best behavior. John is a natural, and our dogs adore him. We are extremely pleased with his calmness and attention. Five stars!”

I'm attentive to routines, comfortable administering basic medications, and patient with dogs and cats. I believe every animal deserves gentle, consistent and compassionate care. I maintain a flexible and reliable schedule and plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, including drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I prioritize quality time, exercise, and structured routines so your pet feels safe, and cared for while you're away. Your pets' safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendlt environment and closely follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and hosue rules. I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I create a secure, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for.
About: I've taken care of both large and small dogs one on one and in play group settings. As well as I currently own a cat. Curre the I work so I am available in the morning for walks and evenings. I can do care at your home when needed. Thanks. Caring for pets in your home I make sure all entry ways are closed so your dog and or cat does not escape. When I come and arrive I will communicate.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos
Katie did a wonderful job taking care of my senior dog! She was very professional, attentive, and reliable. She not only took him for a walk but also made sure he received his medication and dinner. I really appreciated her care and attention to detail! It means so much to know my sweet senior boy was in such caring hands. I would happily trust Katie with him again and highly recommend her!
Shobi is absolutely wonderful! So reliable, caring, and communicative. She’s been incredible helpful while my pup and I have adjusted to a new city and schedule. My dog loves her, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in good hands. Highly recommend!
Natasha is great! She took the time to really understand my dog’s health issues and made sure she knew what to do in the event of a seizure. He seems happy and relaxed with her right away. All smiles in the pictures I got from his report card. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

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 Los Altos. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
