Dog Walking in Oceanside

“First time booking Adam and he was great! He walked my dog everyday for a week. Adam is professional, a great communicator and wonderful with my dog. Highly recommend his services.”

“Nikki is amazing! She was responsive and communicated very well before, during and after the stay. She followed all instructions well, and went above and beyond to spend more time with Kodi and help him during his walk when he was a little nervous. You can tell she has a great love of animals and passion for this, and our doggy was happy and well when we returned. We would highly recommend Nikki and would gladly have her take care of Kodi again next time we needed it.”

“Kristina is a natural with animals and my Jake loved her as soon as he met her. She has experience with dogs and we couldn’t be happier with her. We will definitely use her again and again!”

Romona M.

“Karli made my first Rover experience seamless and stress free, despite me having to book short notice when my normal gal called in sick. I was so appreciative of her flexibility to help me make it work and she was so sweet and thorough. She even made sure my cats got some attention during her visits which just shows how much she loves animals. I will definitely reach back out to Karli if I need any help in the future!”

Kayla M.

“Rachel is the best!! She’s responsive and caring. Our dog loved her and had the best time on their walks together. She provided multiple photos from each walk and included notes. We will definitely be asking Rachel to walk our dog again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very young, from my childhood dog to my own dog i adopted at 18. My sammie boy passed about a year ago and i’ve been needing some animal therapy without having to go through the heartbreak of having my own again. I would love to be your furry friends walking companion! I work full time Monday through friday 530 am-1:30 pm. I am available anytime throughout the week after 130 pm but i am flexible I have a large fenced in backyard, a 15 minute walk from the beach and I’m able to give as many updates as needed.

About: I have taken care of my sweet girl Sweetie for 4 years, and have prior experience with cats, as well as bunnies. I'm always making sure that any animal no matter how big or small is well taken care of and loved for. Pet care fits into my every day routine. I take my dog on nice long walks to get her energy out, I am able to take care of her throughout the day, and even when I'm busy, I make sure to take extra good care of her to make sure her needs are met. I would be responsible for feedings and walking, making sure they get enough play time and attention, and making the owners and pets feel safe.

About: *Use code CAROLG31006 for $20 credit on first booking* Hello! I'm Darlene! My family and friends also call me Caroline, so feel free to use either name. I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and grew up with three dogs—a Husky, Chow Chow, and Cocker Spaniel—so I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and consistent communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel alone, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their specific needs, whether that’s extra potty breaks, exercise, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision, attention, and care. In your home, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I ensure doors and spaces are secure and never leave pets unattended for long. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love them (sometimes more than people haha). Breeders have trusted me to nurse their dogs and puppies back to health, and I have experience caring for both young puppies and senior dogs with special needs. Since my latest beloved dogs, Jacques and Jinger, passed on, I have found so much joy in welcoming other wonderful animals into our lives. We are a young couple living in the heart of Oceanside, CA, within a very pet friendly community. A dog beach and walkable city area are nearby in addition to trails and parks, and we enjoy exploring with our visiting pals. As a professional photographer, I also often enjoy taking and sharing free, high quality photos of our furry friends, in addition to the usual updates with phone snaps that I send during our time together. It is our general rule to only care for one family at a time, so your pet will have the exclusive attention and focus while in my care, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Every dog is not just a dog but a member of the family. I understand every animal has their own personality and individual needs, and I would love to take care of, play, walk, and love on yours and hope to become their friend. I work mostly from home and love caring for dog friends on my available days. I only host pets from one family at a time to make sure each visitor receives the best care and attention during their stay with us. For walks or drop-in visits my schedule is quite flexible. If a pup is with me for the day we will likely do a good amount of walking and play, I'll ensure they are provided water and any other details for their care is followed, and we'll simply have a fabulous day together :) We live in a very dog-friendly community with walking trails, parks, the ocean, and a dog beach nearby that we love exploring with our visiting pals, (with owner permission of course). Also, an emergency pet hospital is just 5 minutes away if ever needed, though thankfully we have never had to use it.

“Savannah gave the dogs a good afternoon walk to tire them out and get them exercise. She was very responsive to questions and met the dogs in advance. I would use her services again in a heartbeat!”

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m an experienced pet caregiver returning to Rover after previously offering dog walking and pet sitting during college. I built wonderful relationships with recurring clients and their pets, and I’m excited to be accepting a limited number of new clients again. I’ve loved and cared for animals since childhood and have experience with dogs, cats, and pets with detailed routines. I’m patient, attentive, and safety conscious, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and understood. I also have experience with basic dog training and leash handling, and I’m especially mindful of each dog’s temperament, energy level, and individual needs. My care style is calm, reliable, and communicative. I’m happy to provide photo updates, detailed notes, and follow your pet’s routine closely so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’m currently offering dog walking and drop in visits with flexible daytime availability. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet for new clients and only accept dogs who are a good fit for my care style. I’m best suited for dogs with manageable leash manners, no bite history, and no severe reactivity toward people or other animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently have flexible daytime availability and am happy to help with one-time or recurring dog walks. I’m especially open to finding a consistent weekly routine with families who are a good fit. I’m currently focusing on dog walking only. I like to make walks feel safe, calm, and enjoyable for each dog, so I always appreciate clear instructions about your dog’s routine, personality, and walking preferences. For new clients, I prefer a meet-and-greet first so everyone feels comfortable before booking.

“Jay is truly exceptional. He walks my husky —and not just quick strolls, but long, energizing adventures that leave my dog happily exhausted. I’m consistently impressed by how much exercise my pup gets with him. Jay is the most professional dog walker I’ve ever worked with: always on time, consistently communicative, and thoughtful enough to send great photos and a map of where they walked. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves him. Their connection is obvious, and it gives me total peace of mind. I can honestly say there’s no one I trust more with my dog. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for pet care.”

“Sara is the very best at communicating, taking care of my dogs special needs, and is very punctual. I have had her dog sit Bubba and now dog walk and she sends loads of pictures and videos and keeps you updated constantly. Your dog will be in great hands with her. 10/10 would recommend!”

My approach to pet care is always personalized to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. Depending on the services requested, here’s how I typically provide care: Feeding: I follow the specific dietary instructions provided by the pet owner, including portion size, feeding times, and any special dietary needs or restrictions. I make sure fresh water is always available. Medication: If pets require medication, I administer it carefully according to the owner’s directions. This includes pills, topical treatments, or any other prescribed care, while closely monitoring the pet for any side effects or changes in behavior. Walking and Exercise: For dogs, regular walks tailored to their energy levels and physical condition are a priority. I ensure they get enough exercise and bathroom breaks to keep them healthy and happy. I’m attentive to leash safety and environmental conditions during walks. Play and Enrichment: Pets receive plenty of interactive playtime, stimulation, and affection to keep them mentally engaged and emotionally satisfied. This might include playing with toys, training exercises, or just spending quiet cuddle time.
