About: I offer a unique blend of high energy adventure and structured, patient care. As an avid mountaineer and hiker, I’m the ideal match for high-energy dogs who need more than just a walk around the block; I love taking pups on local trails where they can truly explore. Beyond the trails, I have significant experience fostering animals, which has taught me how to read body language, manage transitions, and provide a calm environment for pets who might be nervous in a new space. My home is a dedicated 'maker' space where I’m constantly improving the environment, so you can rest assured your dog is in a secure, well-maintained, and supervised setting. Whether your dog is a senior who needs a quiet spot to nap or a young pup with energy to burn, I have the experience to make them feel right at home. My daily routine is built around active engagement and consistency. We start the day with an energizing morning walk followed by breakfast and a dedicated rest period. Since I spend a significant portion of my day at home, I can provide frequent potty breaks, backyard play, and constant companionship. Evenings are reserved for calm winding down and plenty of attention before bed to ensure everyone feels settled. Safety is my non-negotiable priority. My home is a fully pet-proofed environment with secure entryways and strictly supervised common areas. I maintain a 'paws-on' supervision policy, ensuring pets are never left unattended with unfamiliar toys or in new spaces. I believe trust is built through transparency, so I provide daily photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

Maddie was great! She responded very quickly, and arrived a few minutes early for the walks. She was great with the pup and he was happy to go with her. Will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need help with the dogs! Thank you ?

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and been comfortable with them all my life. I love dogs and recently dog sat for my parents and their 2 older dogs for 3 weeks. Currently I am at home for summer before going back to school in September. My schedule is pretty open with lots of free time throughout the day. I generally start my day by greeting the dogs and feeding them before checking to make sure they have water. With my older dogs who need their medication I’ll bury it in their food to make sure they eat it. Later on I’ll take them out on a walk to get their exercise. When we get back I’ll give them a treat and some pets before going on to whatever else I need to do.

About: I have a huge heart for animals. I have had pets all of my life and consider them to be part of my family. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and know the commitment and responsibilities that come with caring for pets. If you have an energetic dog, I can take them on runs, jogs or long walks around the neighborhood. If you have a calmer dog then leisurely strolls around the neighborhood it will be. I have experience with shy and reactive dogs and I can give them the patience they need. I am also happy to just cuddle and spend quality time with your dog or cat. Taking care of them is truly a passion for me. Pet care fits perfectly in my schedule. I am a college freshman who is off for the summer and has a flexible schedule. If you and your family are away from home, I’m always free to check up on your furry companions! I will provide the attention your pet needs and follow any specific instructions you have for me. It is important to me that your pet is comfortable and feels safe at all times. Personalized care and giving your companions lots of love and attention are things I will do to make your pet feel happy and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, houses, children, and more since I was 15. I’ve always loved animals as well as helping people out when they need it so this opened many opportunities for me at a young age to take care of pets for the people around me. Through networking with those people I was able to extend further and meet more people to provide care for. I have multiple years of experience dog sitting and walking, cat sitting, and house sitting in addition to raising my own pets over the years. There is no pet I couldn’t come to love and enjoy being around and I love how taking care of them can also enrich my own experiences and knowledge about animals! I can walk and care for small dogs to large dogs as long as they aren’t completely without basic training. I also have experience caring for elderly/sick dogs and cats including following specific feeding concerns and keeping up with medicines. I recently graduated college and am unemployed so I have plenty of time to spare for your pet! I am open to any walking length and am flexible with times and days. I also have plenty of experience house sitting and taking care of pets in their own homes/environment. I am great at keeping routines and following a schedule so caring for pets fits perfectly into my day! I take instructions and guidelines seriously when taking care of people’s pets so I make sure to follow them accordingly and carefully. I utilize whatever resources made available by clients to take better care of their pet. I also always make sure pets are comfortable with me and that I can properly understand and care for their needs! Whether a pet needs a slower walking pace, longer or shorter walks, specific food, or needs certain conditions to be comfortable or safe in their home I make sure to accommodate their needs.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who require extra attention, medication management, and gentle care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions to keep your pet happy and healthy. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet while providing dependable, compassionate care every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have completely open availability. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings. I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet to ensure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my client’s home or during walks and drop-in visits, I follow their established routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I maintain a clean, safe environment, ensure doors and gates are secure, and closely monitor pets during walks and playtime. I understand that trust is important when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and stress-free until their family returns home. 🐾❤️

About: My family and I have raised and owned pets in the house since I was a young child. As a member of your family, they deserve the utmost care and respect. I love playing and taking dogs out for walks. Entrusting your dog with me means they are given the same love and respect that you do, and hopefully going above and beyond. It’s a huge leap of faith leaving your animal with someone else and I hope to be like a secondary family member to your dog instead of just a caregiver! I currently have an open schedule. I can provide pet care as much or as little necessary. I am flexible and great with time management in order to provide the best service for your pets! It is important as a new person coming in to not disrupt you and your animals routine too much. I want to provide care that can match your daily life or needs as much as possible. It is important to me to gather all the appropriate information and to follow instructions ensuring you and your pets happiness.

Marisol is a sweetheart! My dog can be a little temperamental with new people, as far as willingness to walk. Marisol played with him when that was the case, and she took great pictures! When we came back he was very relaxed. Initially she brought someone with her in the house, but communication about it was quick and pleasant. We will definitely rebook her.

About: Nice to meet you! My name is Corina, and I'm a young professional, on a mission to build a bigger treat fund for my two fur babies!! My experience: I've spent 2 decades growing up alongside medium and small dogs, and in my adult life, I've gotten lots of practice cleaning up and caring for my three senior poodle mixes. After they passed in 2024, I dedicated all of my free time to being a dog foster parent at HSSV, which allowed me to meet tons of bouncy little puppies, old and young dogs with various personalities, as well as exposure to different behavioral issues, and the support needed to help dogs grow past them. My foster journey ended when I met Tomi from HSSV's foster program, and I couldn't let him go! And his sister, Mocha, joined us shortly after, when a relative could no longer care for her. They are both very gentle and shy in personality, and great company for any other smaller sized pups that are learning or looking for some friends! I'm available for dog walking on: Saturday: 8am-6pm Sunday: 8am-6pm And for Overnight & Daytime boarding: Friday 7pm - Sunday 8pm. We'll see you soon!! I live in a child-free home with a yard, and a large dog park across the street! I also have long walking trail nearby, so your pup will have lots to keep them busy during their stay! Dogs will be staying with my two 13 lbs. chi-mixes, who are both gentle and shy in nature.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Almaden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 5,141 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Almaden. 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 New Almaden. 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 New Almaden.

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 New Almaden. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
