“Crystal is absolutely amazing! I can’t say enough great things about her. I instantly felt comfortable having her walk Ella and could tell she is super caring and knowledgeable about animals. She always takes the best photos on their walks...I told her she should be a dog photographer! And she takes the time to provide a thorough report of her walks with Ella...which I really appreciate. We have already booked her again and can’t wait to continue working with her! ?”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes for most of my life and would love to have an opportunity to bond with your little or big critter. I have a flexible availability on most weekends and early mornings & evenings on weekdays. As long as we communicate with each other scheduling shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve had personal experience with working and caring for pets with a fenced and un fenced yard. It all depends on the circumstances needed to accommodate your pet.

About: I'm from Oregon originally and I grew up with my own dog and would look after all my friends and neighbors dogs growing up. Now that I'm in California, I miss having a dog that I can take care of, so I would love the opportunity to help you with yours! I'm very laid-back and I understand that things come up last minute, so cancellations or last minute requests are always more than welcome. I can't wait to meet you and your wonderful pets! I work from home full-time and would love some company while I work, or a welcome break for a walk and/or play time with your pet! I love to show my pets attention, let them rest, and make sure that they are safe at all times. I have my own set of guidelines that I follow, but I’m always willing to learn more and implement whatever you need for your pet.

About: I am work from home, so i have ample time to be really present and take good care of your sweet pet. I attended standard training and emotional support training with my family’s white lab. I have plenty of experience providing pet assistance and love to extend a helping hand! I live in a gated home directly across from the beach and on a quiet street that is a great spot for walking. I am also more than happy to come to you. I am work from home, and can take careful care and provide ample attention to the pets! I like to be outside as much as possible, so its enjoyable for me to include an animal in my morning and afternoon walks and adventures. I am attentive, kind, and patient. I take time to learn animals and their cues and behaviors. I love to visit them in their own space and am happy to follow any routines, rules or asks that you have!

About: Having grown up with pets all throughout my life, I have acquired a multitude of skills required for pet care! From a young age, I was immediately drawn to a vast array of animals and proper care was implemented in my upbringing. That includes basic care needs such as: timely walks, feedings and the the social-emotional requirements of cats and dogs. Over the years, I have developed an intuitiveness for different types of animals, their personalities and how to approach them in their own unique ways. Adaptability is key with pets! I run frequently, so I am willing to take high-energy dogs on runs and hikes alike! I also enjoy time at home, and have enough work on the computer to do that allows me to be in residence for the appropriate amount of time. I have an SUV, so I can transport small and large animals alike with no problem.

About: I’ve had Golden Retrievers my entire life and currently have two of my own, Ace and Cider :) Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I have experience with puppies through senior dogs. I understand the importance of providing plenty of exercise, attention, patience, and loving care so every dog feels happy and comfortable Pet care fits perfectly into my life right now! I recently finished playing professional basketball overseas, in Australia so I have a very flexible schedule until my next season begins. I have plenty of time to give your pet the love they need. At home, I have two Golden Retrievers with a big backyard. I regularly feed them in the mornings and nights, take them to the park for walks, and spend lots of time training them. It's so rewarding to see them grow and thrive with the care and attention they deserve! I always make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to other people's pets as I do for my own. I ensure that they are fed, given proper exercise, and of course, get all the pets and treats they deserve. It's all about making sure each furry friend feels loved and well taken care of!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started helping care for family, friends, and neighbors’ pets when I was around 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities—from shy or reactive dogs to dogs that love everyone they meet. I’ve also looked after multiple dogs at the same time and am comfortable handling different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for cats as well, including both territorial cats and super affectionate ones. I’m comfortable giving medication to cats and dogs and am always willing to learn about the needs of other animals. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. Open to: • Quick walk • Long adventure • A drop-in visit • Overnight care I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels safe and stress-free for them.

About: Hi! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶🐱❤️ I grew up with small dogs and have years of experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding dogs of all sizes. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for kitties, too! I’ve fostered through the San Diego Humane Society, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of breeds. I’m also a proud dog mama to a sweet pittie spaniel rescue of my own! 🐾 so I understand the feeling of leaving your baby with someone new! I adore animals, and I truly care about making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give your fur baby plenty of love and attention, plus plenty of updates for you- so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. One quick note about pricing: Rover takes a significant portion of each booking, which can make my rates a little higher on this app. I apologize in advance! I work week days 7am-4pm. Otherwise, I’m available the remainder of the time for your pet! I’m currently only offering overnight care in your home - no overnight in my home. However I can offer a short daycare visit, as long as your dog gets along great with other dogs — as I do own a medium pup myself. I have a rescue dog (spaniel mix), around 35 pounds who gets along well with all dogs and people. I do not bring her to any rover jobs, unless you have a dog who would enjoy a playdate and specifically ask about her. Since I’m a dog owner myself, I’m always overly cautious for the pets safety and well-being. Pets are kept close to ensure that their safety is always #1.

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 Oceanside. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
