About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have experience raising and caring for dogs, including my neighbor’s Labrador Retriever, Max. Over the years, I’ve ensured Max stays happy, healthy, and well-loved by providing regular feeding, grooming, and daily walks. I also enjoy teaching commands and engaging Max in fun activities to keep him active and mentally stimulated. Caring for Max has deepened my understanding of canine behavior and strengthened my passion for providing excellent pet care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule as I am usually available in the afternoons. This allows me to dedicate quality time to meet pets' needs, including walks, playtime, feeding, and other essential care. My flexible afternoons ensure I can provide consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for the pets I look after. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort and routine to minimize stress. I ensure their environment is safe, secure, and clean, paying attention to any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. I follow the pet’s daily routine, and I provide plenty of love and attention to ensure they feel comfortable. I also keep the home tidy and respect the client's space, ensuring their pet receives the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home.

About: For nearly 20 years, caring for pets has been a natural part of my professional caregiving experience. I've also had the privilege of caring for clients of RxTra Care Pet Sitting & Services, PetCare with Love LLC, and currently Pawmunications, entrusting me with the care of pets of all ages, personalities, and care needs. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a multi-pet household, my goal is to keep their day as consistent and stress-free as possible. I believe the best pet care starts with communication. I take the time to learn your expectations, your pet's routines, and the little details that make them feel safe and comfortable. Every visit is tailored to your pet, because no one knows them better than you do. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine oral medications, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and caring for multi-pet households. I'll also provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is simple: for you to come home—or finish your workday—to happy pets and the confidence that everything was exactly as it should be. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, allowing me the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and be available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks. My availability is updated regularly, so if you have recurring or long-term needs, I'd love to chat! Because I'm caring for your pets in the environment they're most comfortable in, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and respecting both your pet's needs and your home. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, preferences, medications, and any household routines that are important to you. During each visit, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, double-check collars and harnesses before walks, and provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Orange

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Orange is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 28,181 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 your 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 , 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orange. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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 .

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.
