About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent the last year working as a veterinary technician, and worked alongside ranch dogs for two years before that. I am comfortable with dogs (plus cats and ranch animals!) of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My veterinary background also makes me comfortable with medications and specialty care. I really enjoy being able to get to know each pet’s unique personality! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I can accommodate different days and times whenever possible! I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions. My veterinary background has given me experience with pet first aid, medications, and special needs, as well as recognizing changes in behavior or health. I am always excited to meet and spend time with new pets!
About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.

“Mari is AWESOME!!! Mari is the first dog walker I ever used. My dog is very needy and has his ways and routines. Mari adapted to his needs immediately. She is gentle. She loves to talk to my dog. (He understood everything she said.) She is conscious and in-tune with him. Mari put me at ease. (I’m a little overprotective of my pup.) I will use her again and again. I feel he’s safe with Mari and it gives me a feeling of relief. Thank you!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for most of my life, from a three-legged Rottie named Goose, to Golden Retrievers, to Buster, a beloved mutt who loved long walks in the woods. I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and many happy clients, whether I was visiting them or they were visiting me. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds, including walking, feeding, bathing, giving medications, potty breaks, and everything in between. Many happy humans — according to their pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins never feel like an interruption — they are usually one of the best parts of my day. I’m active and outdoors often, so I’m happy to build my schedule around regular walks, longer outings when appropriate, and plenty of attention at home. I’m also comfortable with more detailed care needs, including medications, specific feeding routines, bathing, and keeping pets on the schedule they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for dogs, cats, or both, I like to keep things calm, consistent, and reliable so pets feel safe and their humans feel comfortable while they’re away. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and attentive. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, keep their spaces clean, and provide regular updates so owners know how things are going. My goal is to give each pet calm, reliable care and plenty of attention while their humans are away.
About: I grew up in a family where we always had both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from an early age. As I got older, I continued having my own pets, which gave me real, hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for daily routines like feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe at home. I’m also used to reading animal behavior, understanding their needs, and adjusting my approach depending on their personality — whether they’re energetic, shy, or more independent. I genuinely love animals and take this responsibility seriously. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, care, and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure to give pets enough attention, playtime, and care during the day, and I’m consistent with feeding and routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I can also crate your pet if needed and ensure they get plenty of attention and care.
About: Welcoming all furry friends! See below for a bit about what to expect: - I live and work remotely from my Mill Valley home. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so have plenty of extra time to dedicate to your pup! - I live in a home just a few short blocks from the park, with a variety of dog friendly places within walking distance. 5-10 minutes away from amazing hiking trails, so there is quite a bit to see and do. - i’m extremely active (typically run every morning, and often head out on long hikes or day trips over the weekend), so am more than happy to wear your pup out running or playing if it's something they enjoy. Also able to just provide tons of love and company for senior dogs or those that prefer a more lazy agenda! - Extensive experience in pet care: I raised my 3.5 year old golden retriever from puppyhood, grew up with dogs, I’ve been dog sitting via Rover for years, volunteering at rescue centers, etc. You're in good hands! - I have an SUV for beach trips, hikes, or providing any pick up/drop off necessary! Just let me know if you need help with coordinating a pick up or drop off with your dog before or after your trip. Please reach out at any time to my via text or phone! Always happy to provide frequent updates and additional pictures! I have my own pup who typically requires a decent bit of exercise, but willing to accommodate your dog’s personal schedule! Living on a park makes it easy to accommodate frequent bathroom trips. I treat all pets like part of the family! Regular interaction, cuddles, tricks, treats, and training when desired. I like to make sure we all head out on minimum one long walk per day.
About: I grew up caring daily for my two shepherd/husky mixed dogs, who have unfortunately now passed away from old age. I raised them from puppies, so I have some experience with puppies and basic training. I also have experience dog-sitting for pit bull mixes as I’ve taken care of my aunt’s pittie mix on multiple occasions, including multiple overnights. I’m also comfortable caring for smaller dogs, and have experience with terrier mixes and pugs. I’m available all day every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs so I can be flexible to meet your needs! On Fridays and weekends, I’m available only in the evening. I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.
About: My family has had 2 dogs and cats my entire life. They cared for them with proper exercise and nutrition daily. Pet care is second nature for me. Just moved to the area and looking for a way to make money while on the job hunt! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I will take care of your pets by making sure they are fed, hydrated, and get proper exercise. Let me know if there is anything special that you need and I can accommodate.
“Very quick response and accommodating to a last minute request. Walk + nail trim went very smooth. Glad I didn’t have to make an extra trip to the groomer. You can tell Nima greatly cares about animals and treats them like his own.”
“Connor has been incredible with our dog Smokey! His communication and ease with dogs is top tier, I fully trust him with Smokey. I’d highly recommend booking with him!”
“Cat is a top notch dog walker! She is very caring and attentive. She listened to our concerns and she is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors. I feel that she is a great communicator, and felt at ease having her take care of our dog. It is clear that Cat is a huge dog lover, and I am certain we will continue to book with her!”
About: Hi, I’m Jackie! Animals have always been a big part of my life- from mini lop-eared rabbits to horses, and I now have a 8 year old Beagle, Finley and my 1 year old Beagle, Kenzie whom go just about everywhere with me. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets, administering medication, and working with deaf and blind dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I will provide patient, attentive care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I will also encourage good listening and good behavior with rewards while they are with me. For house sitting, I’m neat, and quiet, treating your home as if it were my own. Whether you need a trustworthy, reliable sitter or a dog walker, I’ll care for your house and pets as if they were my own. I am currently available full time. I am happy to come to your house and stay there if needed but would need to bring my beagle, Finley, with me. I treat my clients’ pets and homes with the same care and respect as I would my own. For pets, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also following any specific routines, dietary needs and medication schedules they may have. With extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those with special needs, I’m comfortable administering medication and providing extra patience and care for aging or anxious animals. For home care, I am neat, responsible, and quiet, treating each home as if it were my own. I keep spaces clean and organized, water plants, bring in mail, and ensure everything remains secure. Whether clients are gone for a few hours or an extended period of time, they can feel confident that their pets and home are in reliable and trustworthy hands.

The median cost per walk for dog walking in Manzanita is $28

Marielle is a perfect match for our rescue dog Sky! Marielle actually already knew our dog when she was at Milo Foundation, so they have a special connection! She truly understands dog behavior and is very experienced with walking and caring for dogs. We needed to find a dogwalker that could handle Sky's high energy level, instinctual prey drive, and potential reactive behavior with other dogs. We found just that with Marielle and so much more!
I cannot recommend Alexia highly enough! She did an absolutely amazing job walking my dog, Oreo. She really took the time to understand Oreo’s individual needs, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in caring, capable hands. Alexia was punctual, reliable, and always responded promptly to my messages. Her love for animals shines through, and Oreo is already excited for his next walk with her! If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog thoughtful, attentive care, Alexia is a fantastic choice. We’re so happy we found her!
Gage cared for our two small dogs while we were on vacation and did an excellent job. From the start, he communicated clearly, arrived on time for every walk, and he was very reliable. We’ll gladly book with him again whenever we need someone to look after our pups!
Carter’s been great with my dog, Nellie. She’s a senior with changing needs, and he always adapts to her energy level and what she needs that day. He’s consistently on time, keeps me updated after every walk, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Manzanita is $49 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $91 per walk.

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 Manzanita. 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 Manzanita 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 Manzanita. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
