I can’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly sweet, reliable, and genuinely cares about Coco’s happiness and well-being. She always arrives on time and goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and loved. Coco is always so happy after their walks, and that says everything. Im so grateful to have her!

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 believe that every pet deserves plenty of exercise, adventure, and love. I enjoy new moments with each fur baby I encounter and providing them the opportunity to experience fresh sights and smells while staying active. Whether it's a high energy pup who needs a good run, or a comfy kitty who just needs love and attention; I tailor each visit to fit their unique needs. I am an Emergency Coordinator so my weeks are busy, but I dedicate my weekends to supporting busy humans with their most prized possessions, their fur babies. I have an apartment with a nice spacious patio and a large open park directly across from my unit. My apartment is in a gated community, with plenty of nearby trails for a nice stay.

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: With 12+ years of cat care and 4+ years of dog experience, I work full-time from home to give your pets constant attention, care, and supervision. My home is a warm, pet-friendly environment shared with my own friendly dog and cat. Dogs will love running and playing in our very spacious backyard, while cats have their own dedicated cat room complete with climbing trees and an automatic cleaning litter box. Whether staying for the day or overnight, your pet will be treated just like family! Working from home allows me to provide full-time supervision and attentive care throughout the day. Dogs receive 3 to 4 walks daily alongside frequent backyard play sessions, while cats get engaging, one-on-one playtime on their own terms. I maintain a flexible daily flow to ensure your pet’s typical feeding and exercise routine is never disrupted. My home is fully set up for pet safety, comfort, and fun. Dogs have access to a large, securely fenced backyard for daily exercise, alongside my friendly Labrador who loves making new playmates. For feline guests, I offer a bright, sunny dedicated cat room where they can explore, climb, and relax in their own comfortable space.

Venkata checked in on our 7 month old puppy. She was prompt and very communicative. Our puppy has some anxiety with new people and she was extremely patient with her. She is a very nice lady and I completely trusted her to take care of our puppy and home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Almaden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 5,161 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.
