About: What separates me from other pet sitters is experience and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, including seniors, high-energy dogs, and those who require extra structure, patience, or consistency. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, triggers, preferences, and training cues so care stays consistent with what they’re used to at home. I’m through about following care instructions, including feeding routines, medication, leash handling, and household rules. I pay close attention to behavior and body language and adjust care as needed to keep dogs comfortable and balanced. I also provide regular, thoughtful updates so owners always know how things are going. I provide care throughout the day to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Mornings typically include walks and potty breaks, breakfast, and any required medications. Midday care includes walks, enrichment, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on your pet’s needs. In the afternoon and early evening, I focus on additional walks or outdoor time, scheduled feedings, and appropriate activity or downtime. Evenings include a final potty break, dinner and medications if needed, and a relaxed wind-down period. I follow established schedules closely and provide regular updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I have a fenced in backyard for lots of running and play time & a climate controlled inside. Dogs are never left alone and always supervised.

About: Hi there! I’m Yolanda, a dedicated and loving pet sitter with a passion for giving your furry family members the same care and comfort they get at home. I know how much your pets mean to you — because they mean just as much to me! ✨ Why You’ll Love Leaving Your Pet With Me: • 🏡 Home Away From Home: Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or playtime in the yard, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved every moment you’re away. • 🕒 Reliable & Flexible: I take pride in my punctuality and excellent communication. Updates and adorable photos? You’ll get them daily! • 🐶 All Pets Welcome: From energetic puppies to senior sweethearts needing meds, I’m experienced with pets of all ages and personalities. • 💚 Safety First: I treat every pet like my own — lots of love, but also the highest attention to safety, routine, and your instructions. ✨ A Little About Me: Animals have been a huge part of my life for 35+ years. I grew up with dog’s, cat’s and cows, and I’ve cared for everything from shy rescue pups to playful kittens and even senior dogs with special needs. Morning starts with feeding time and a quick check to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. If I have a dog, there’s that refreshing morning walk — a chance for both of us to stretch our legs and breathe in the day ahead. If it’s a cat, maybe it’s a playful moment or just sharing a quiet breakfast together while they curl up nearby. I take pet care seriously and always treat animals with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. In my daily routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I stick to feeding schedules, provide plenty of fresh water, and keep their living areas clean and tidy.

About: Hi, I’m Ady! 🐾 I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life. I have a sweet 4-year-old pup named Leia, who is incredibly friendly and absolutely loves everyone! I also foster tiny bottle babies through local shelters and have experience caring for many different types of animals. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of rescues, including dogs, cats, snakes, and geckos—from newborn neonates to senior pets. I have over 10 years of veterinary experience, including working in general practice, emergency medicine, and ICU/specialty veterinary care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs and administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections. I understand how hard it can be to find someone you genuinely trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I want to provide that peace of mind by using my veterinary experience to give your pets the same loving, attentive care I would want for my own. I’m currently taking a break from my veterinary career to be home with my two toddlers. While I absolutely love being a mom, I do miss working with animals! Pet sitting and fostering have given me a way to continue doing something I truly love while spending this special time with my family. Whether your pet needs medication, extra attention, special care, or simply someone to keep them company and give them lots of love, I’d be happy to help! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! ❤️🐾 Currently my availability is very open due to work, I have taken a break and only work about 10hours a month. I'm very available, specially weekend and evenings. I'm open to work a schedule. I am available to board at my current place of residency right now, I live on 5acres and have room to walk and explore. On leash, Please message me for any questions regarding.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have taken care of many dogs. I’ve also had bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, birds growing up. My dog has also had babies. So I have experience in taking care of puppies because I helped my dog give birth. Pet care fits into my routine because I am currently enrolled in college and I am mostly just focusing on that right now. Being able to see some dogs for a few hours would be a great way to fit some exercise into my routine. I care for them by always being attentive and making sure they are loved and cared for. I also love walking and being with nature, so it would be fun to take out some new doggies for walks.

About: Helping others, whether that mean pet or personal, has always been a passion of mine and a huge reason for my current admission in grad school for OT. I regularly pet sit for my parents & sisters dogs! I am a full time occupational therapy grad student currently working on my thesis (remotely) so I have flexible time and would love to mix up my weeks. In a potential clients home, I am very observant and make it my job (obviously) to take care of the animal whether that be playing, walking, feeding and/or letting him/her rest. I am like a pet helicopter parent/petsitter lol. I am very respectful of my surrounding space

About: Hi there! I am a recent college graduate I am currently working as a medical assistant to gain more extensive patient care experience prior to applying for PA school. During this gap year before grad school I figured I should use my strong love for animals when I stumbled across this app. My family and I typically work as a unit to care for the pets we board so that someone is constantly providing care to your fur babies. I have a few pets of my own and have provided care for them since I was young so I am extremely comfortable with offering the highest quality care & safety. Feel free to reach out:)) I work part time currently so I have a fairly open schedule but my family is also a great support and give just as much love to all the animals boarded with us as I do :) I have lots of safety protocols to ensure that my pets at home are safe and I think it’s important I keep them on a steady routine.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Old Gilroy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,091 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Old Gilroy. 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 Old Gilroy. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Old Gilroy after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Old Gilroy. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
