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 ?

Stephanie always does such a nice job with walks around the neighborhood with my Frenchie girl, Luna. Same day walks and cancellations, if necessary. Easy to communicate with. Flexible on timing. Luna seems happy, relieved to have pottied outside, and can settle back in for her sleep until I return home. Thanks Stephanie!

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with at least one dog and currently have 4. I have a 14 year old border collie mutt, a 7 year old aussie/german shepherd mix, and two 2 year old border collies. My oldest dog is around 90 pounds and my youngest around 30 pounds so I have a lot of experience handling/taking care of a wide range of dogs. I take them on walks or to the park very regularly and also take them on runs! I’m currently a full time student at UC Davis and missing my 4 dogs so I would love to take your pups on a walk to help fill that void:) I am home for the summer so I’m free most days of the week and am flexible on times. Like I mentioned previously I currently have 4 dogs so I have alot of experience with taking care of dogs. Two of my dogs currently sleep in crates so I’m very familiar with crate training as well.

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.

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: I’ve spent years caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine.

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.

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. 🐾❤️

Yaisa was awesome for walking Toko and Arya when I was away at work during the day! She showed up on time and would take them for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. My pups were surprisingly well behaved with her and I loved all the pictures she would send me! They always looked happier on days after she visited. I will definitely book again when I need someone to check in with them if I'm out on a day trip or any long work weeks.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and giving medication to dogs, including helping care for my neighbors’ dogs as well. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable around both dogs and cats. I’m willing to help in any way I can and can’t wait to meet your pet! I just graduated from college and moved back home so I am able to help whenever you need. I am also very flexible and can work around your schedule! I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel cared for and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any specific needs or preferences the pet may have. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away.

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: Hii! I'm Brenna! I just graduated from Cal Poly SLO and am a soon-to-be elementary school teacher! I have 3 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone to make your dog feel safe, happy, & well cared for! I'm active, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or just getting lots of love and attention, I'll make sure they have fun while you're away! My experience working with children has also taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to different personalities (which dogs definitely have lol). As a recent Cal Poly graduate and incoming elementary school teacher, I have a very flexible summer schedule and enjoy staying active, so daily walks and outdoor time are already built into my routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while sticking to their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and happy. Every pup has different needs, so I make sure each walk is tailored to their energy level and personality :) Whether your dog loves a long adventure or a slower stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I'm happy to match their pace. I always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings, and following any instructions you provide.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life, growing up I had three different dogs, Ruby, who died when I was 8, Ollie, and Zoe. I’ve had three fish, two mice, a lizard, and a hamster. Starting at age 12, I began dog and cat sitting for my neighbors and friends, and many families have relied on me for the care of their animals when they cannot be there. I also study animal science with a pre vet concentration in school so I'm extremely knowledgeable on how to correctly interact and care for pets I am currently a full time pet sitter, so sitting is my whole life at the moment. During the year I study animal science but when I am not working over the summer I love to read and bake! I always make sure front doors are closed or locked, pay special attention to certain rules and expectations of different pet owners, and never let animals out of my sight unless they are safely inside or in an enclosed outside space.

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.

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.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both cats and dogs and developing a deep, natural connection with them. I cared for and trained my own dog for 15 years, and after his passing, I adopted a close friend’s dog, who I now love and care for as my own. My experience includes working with dogs of all ages and needs from energetic pups to senior dogs requiring extra patience and support. I’m comfortable administering medication, preparing specialized meals based on dietary needs, and ensuring each dog gets the right level of exercise, structure, and attention. I treat every dog as if they’re part of my family because I know that’s exactly what they are to you. I work from home therefore, your pup will have all my attention! Walks are done every three to four hours in a day. Food is given based on your scheduled requirements. Since I have a dog of my own your pup will have a partner to play with! There's a dog park near by for them to run and play in as well.

About: I have over 15 years experience in pet care and dog training. I have cared for cats, dogs of all sizes, fish, and hermit crabs. I am very dependable, patient and a quick learner. Pets of all kinds gravitate to my loving nature and strong, responsible presence. My hours are extremely flexible and I am available almost always in case you need someone fast and dependable.

I have both a cat and a dog, so I’m familiar with balancing different needs—my dog gets regular walks, playtime, and structured feeding, while my cat has a calm environment, fresh litter, and daily care and interaction on her terms. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I make sure they always feel safe, clean, and well cared for.

I was really impressed with James. He took our two dogs on a morning walk and our puppy actually came back tired. James was fully capable of walking two big, energetic and excitable dogs. Sadie and Maverick were so happy when they came back from their walk. James clearly loves animals and has a kind and gentle demeanor around them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Almaden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 5,113 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
  • 94% 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.
