About: I currently have a Great Pyrenees and a tiny little Papillion/Chihuahua mix, both rescues, whom I love more than life itself. So when I say big or small, I mean it! I have a flexible schedule so last minute requests can usually be accommodated I currently work part time and the hours are fairly flexible. This means I’m usually available at the last minute if something pops up or there’s an emergency I’m pretty detailed so I appreciate when owners leave a list or have specific requests. However, if you prefer a more laid back approach, that’s fine too. Whatever keeps your dog happy & safe!

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands. Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day. During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.

About: Hi there! I love animals and have fostered over 100 cats/kittens, a few puppies, and dozens of dogs! I am keen on methods for administering medications/injections, aware of different behaviors/body language cues, and I truly want what is best for you and your pets. My current cats know tricks and commands; I’ve owned a special needs cat, and I understand what it means to invest time and care for their best health. I also think attitude and attentiveness make a huge difference in the small things. I’m incredibly flexible and understanding as well. All of the policies here are flexible because I know life can get in the way and busy. Always happy to help :^) I work from home and live by the Orange Circle. I wish I could get my own dog, but it’s not the right time for me, so this is a happy medium for me! I love to run, bake, and read. Happy to take pets on hikes/runs or just hang out and lie on the ground with them! I live in a 3 bedroom home in the Orange Circle area that has fenced yard. Our pets will always have a their own safe space, and I will build trust with your pet through slow introductions or any other accommodations that are needed!

About: I’ve grown up rescuing kittens from the streets and healing them to health. I have two healthy cats at home that I take care of every day. They are fully vaccines and healthy. I have a passion for cats, so I am always doing research to get a better understanding of how they may think. I'm currently working full-time from home, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I get many breaks during my working hours. I love my two cats, I never discipline them by yelling. They are allowed on the furniture and have a tree house to play in and many toys all throughout the home. I work from home so I'm always around and I rarely go out. I like being home. I also get breaks to go out and do any drop ins. I live in a three bedroom apartment. There is one bedroom dedicated as my cat room, which has a cat house, scratch post, wooden home and many toys and tunnels for play. I have toys for them everywhere and constantly buying new toys. My cats love the their playroom. Right outside the window is a tree where some birds and squirrels pass, they love to lay on the hammock and look at the window.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and loved taking care of them growing up and have always had a soft spot for all types of animals. I’ve had quails, cats, lovebirds, and dogs. I currently have two sneaky little cats. Working from home has it upsides and downsides! It gets boring being cooped up all day! I make sure to keep my days interesting and find that going on walks or meeting new cute pets keeps me sane! I have a been a pet sitter for my whole family when they are away from home varying from kitties, doggos, to birds. I have come to realize that furry friends are my favorite types of friends!

About: I grew up in North Dakota surrounded by dogs of all kinds — from Rottweilers and Pitbulls to German Shepherds, Dobermans, Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, and mixed breeds. Since the age of four, caring for and playing with dogs has been a natural part of my life. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and co-workers have trusted me to feed, walk, and look after their dogs and cats during vacations, work trips, and unexpected emergencies. My parents foster dogs, so I’ve had hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who simply need gentle care and companionship. Since moving to Las Vegas, I’ve missed having pets of my own, and Rover gives me the opportunity to continue spending time with animals and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I bring years of personal and trusted experience with animals and am happy to provide references from friends and former clients upon request. Rover is my business page, so please keep all messages pet-related. Thank you! I currently work in beauty retail and my schedule is open. I will be the only caretaker and live in an apartment in Anaheim, California. I am comfortable with taking care of pets in apartments, condos, cabins, and family homes. I love to take dogs on walks, play tug-o-war, cuddle, brush their fur, and play catch.

About: I grew up in a house that always had animals. Dogs, cats, and a stream of injured wildlife my dad brought home to nurse back to health, including a baby deer and a raccoon. We even had gerbils, hamsters, parakeets, and fish. Caring for animals has been part of daily life from the time I was born. I’ve lived with large breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Bernese Mountain Dogs; as well as energetic breeds like Australian Shepherds, Chows, and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with big dogs and strong personalities. Family members with smaller dogs regularly relied on me for care, and for the past ten years I’ve house- and dog-sat for an elderly family friend. I’m attentive, patient, and observant, especially with animals that are nervous, aging, or need a calm presence. As a large, steady person, I’m confident handling big dogs on walks and in new situations, and I’m just as comfortable providing gentle, consistent care for smaller pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I structure my days from home. I’m used to planning around feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and regular check-ins throughout the day. This allows me to be consistent, present, and flexible with visits, walks, or overnight stays, and to give pets real attention rather than rushing through care. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the space they know. I follow their established routine closely with feeding, walks, litter care, medications if needed, and regular attention. I keep the home tidy, watch for behavior changes, and keep owners updated. With my own cats, I manage specialized diets, daily litter and cleaning, social time, and close observation of their health and behavior. I’ve cared for some of them from birth and have also supported pets through illness and end-of-life stages. That experience carries into how I care for every animal: patient, attentive, and respectful of their comfort and needs.

About: I’ve raised a fierce, hyperactive Siberian Husky, so if your dog has enough energy to power a small city… I’ve probably got this. 😂🐺 I’m used to zoomies, dramatic personalities, endless walks, and the classic “I’m definitely not tired yet” attitude. Raising a Husky taught me that patience, exercise, consistency, and lots of love go a long way. I genuinely enjoy keeping dogs active, happy, entertained, and feeling like they’re part of the family! 🐾 I offer a flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for your pet. I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. 🐾 I treat every home and pet with care and respect, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and cared for during every drop-in visit. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. 🤍

Sydney has been amazing with our baby! Our dog is getting old, and needs some extra care. Sydney stayed with him each time to make sure he had all his meds, his care, even hand fed him to make sure he was good and happy. I cannot be more thankful for Sydney who cared for him more than expected.

Shea has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Harley. From the very beginning, her communication has been excellent, she provides detailed updates after every walk along with photos, which I genuinely look forward to reading each day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Harley is very comfortable with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Shea goes above and beyond, not only with her attentiveness and reliability, but also through thoughtful gestures like the personalized magnet she made for Harley, which was such a nice surprise. I’m incredibly grateful we found her and will definitely be working with her again. I highly recommend Shea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Orange

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Orange is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 13,035 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Orange. 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 Orange. 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 Orange 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 Orange. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
