About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.

About: I have loved animals all my life. I have a special place in my heart for all animals. I have owned and taken care of animals for 40 years. I have a way about myself that puts animals on ease and makes them feel welcome. I can not wait to take the best care of your loved and cherished pet. Thank you for your consideration. I am currently on a sabbatical so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I am available weekends, evenings, and mornings. I am available for long-term arrangements. I have a small fenced yard and I love to go on long walks. I give pets lots off affection and attention if they want it. I also just let them relax if that is what they need. Either way I am a very attentive caretaker.

Chris was easy to communicate with, thoughtful in his questions. His even keeled temperament was a great fit for our 8 month old puppy. He shared photos and potty info which was also super helpful. Our pup came home happy (and ready for a nap!)

About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been a dog owner most of my adult life. I’ve also been a dog owner from the puppy age of eight weeks all the way through mature life. I can take care of other pets as well, and I can be available for dog boarding, dog sitting, dog walks, and other pet care during your weekends and travels. I am a part-time parent and establishing this as additional income since I am a single income household in Marin county. I am available for dog walking and boarding on alternating weekends, and during periods of your travels when I am in town. I am an outdoors woman, and will get pets outside and active regularly. I know several local dog parks and dog-friendly trails since I’ve been a dog owner myself for years (I no longer have a dog as of early 2025). I have a fenced front and backyard. I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).

Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !

About: I have over five years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. I work a hybrid schedule, allowing me to spend ample time with pets throughout the week. Whether I’m at home or a client’s place, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. My passion for animals, along with my hands-on experience, makes me a reliable and caring pet sitter. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of quality time with pets throughout the week. Whether I’m working from home or heading out, I always make time for walks, play sessions, and cuddles. I genuinely love being around animals and find that caring for them is not just a part of my routine but one of the highlights of my day. Whether it’s dogs or cats, being with them brings me so much joy and fulfillment. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their comfort and well-being, whether at my home or a client’s. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and cozy environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure they have fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of playtime and exercise. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing affection, attention, and consistent care to make them feel secure and loved.

About: I am a person that has grown around dogs and I really care for each and every dog I have owned. I personally enjoy going out to walks and runs with dogs and having a great bond with them. I believe every dog shows a special connection to us and they are very caring so we should as well show our care for them providing our help when they need it. I have interacted with all types of dogs and even though you can have a favorite breed,every dog is important and beautiful in their way. I am definitely a dog person and would like to get to know more dogs of any type of breed and create a good bond with them regardless of their age.

About: Hi! I'm Ashley , a dedicated and passionate dog lover with over 5 years of experience in caring for and training dogs. Growing up, I was surrounded by big dogs, which sparked my love for working with them. I have had the joy of raising two wonderful dogs—a black lab and a golden retriever who taught me the value of patience, consistency, and love in dog care. I am currently a college student working a part time job. I am on summer vacation so my schedule is pretty open. I am available nights and mostly all week. I am able to work around my job schedule. I don’t have a fenced off yard but I live across an open grass field. I also live very close to a couple of parks. My home is pet friendly and doesn’t have anything that will cause harm to any dogs.

Ariela was great on her walk with Grady! I needed a very last minute walk and she responded quickly and was even able to come over and do a meet and greet before the walk the next day. I felt very comfortable having her walk Grady—he can be a lot and she was very capable. I’ll definitely have her visit for future walks!

David is AMAZING!! When my husband and I met David with our pups we knew immediately that he has a special ability to connect with animals (and humans). We have a rescue dog that is fearful of new people and is aggressive toward other dogs on walks. She took to David within seconds and he was able to calm and redirect her when a dog approached us. We were so relived because we were going out of the country for 2 weeks and our regular sitter wasn't doing home sits anymore. We scheduled a few walks with David and realized we no longer had to worry while we were away. We are continuing to schedule walks with him and our dogs are beyond excited when we tell them he is coming. Additionally, David is a calm, gentle, and kind and just a great person. We are so thankful we found him.

Jaimi and her daughter were amazing with my two dogs, Bumi and Lily. They took them on 30-minute walks to a dog play area, spent time playing with them, and even stayed longer to make sure both dogs were fully walked and able to use the bathroom. Communication was great throughout, and they were incredibly kind and attentive. Bumi and Lily were genuinely excited to see both Jaimi and her daughter, which says a lot. I’ll absolutely be booking them again for dog walking and pet care

FAQs for Dog Walking - Los Ranchitos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Los Ranchitos on Rover is $27.75 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 10,033 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Los Ranchitos. 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 Los Ranchitos. 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 Los Ranchitos.

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 Los Ranchitos. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
