Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!

We hired Valerie to walk our dog Hank twice a day while he stayed at my mom’s during our vacation, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she was incredibly thorough with planning. Valerie asked all the right questions and clearly came prepared knowing exactly how to handle him. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and takes real pride in her work. Hank was happy, well-exercised, and in great hands the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Valerie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable walker!

About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!

About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs in my neighborhood since I was 14. I’ve was trusted to feed, walk, play, and clean up after those lovely pets! I also have experience working with older dogs and dogs that have received medical care from the many times I’ve taken care of my beagle Sadie after her cancer treatments. I’m currently home for the summer after finishing my first year of college. I do some volunteer work at a local hospital but that schedule is flexible so I can easily fit in dog walks most days! I have looked after dogs of all sizes and can handle almost anything. Whatever rules or instructions you will have for me will be strictly met!

About: I own the cutest lab poodle who just lost her sister due to old age and needs friends. It can be a dog or cat. I don’t have a job right now. I am working on getting a job remote and will have a lot of time caring for animals. I usually watch tv with cats or play with toys for either a cat or dog. I like walking dogs too. I make sure to feed them and refill the water bowls at the exact same time of day.

Andrielle is great! She’s dependable and reliable, comes on time for Duke’s walks and always walks him at least 30 minutes, about a mile each day (or more!). I’m so glad I found her for Duke, I know he’s well taken care of and well exercised while I’m at work. And she takes the cutest pictures of him :) Thanks Andrielle!

I am very use to detailed medication plans and treatments because of this.

I will always treat your animals with love and kindness and will always do my best to communicate with you to put you at ease. Don’t hesitate to message to ask any questions or for potential bookings! I currently work full time remotely and this gives me a lot of freedom to work at other houses or be out with your pets! Treating my clients houses with respect is my top priority next to your pets safety. I believe is lots of communication to hopefully instill trust between us and my care for your pet.

About: My golden retriever Bearon lived to be 15.5 years old. He’s large dog, sweet, trustworthy and funny. My Grandmother lived to be 105 always had a dog. Our family takes care animals like they just as important as humans. My availability is asap. Special skills would be to treat your animal like you prefer and make them feel at home. Key factors such as trust, safety and communication. These essential skills are very important to make sure the animal is alright and in good hands. Dogs emulate their owners and how you treat them makes all the difference in the world. Overall dog backwards is god so with that said it’s great meaning and represents a biblical term. Thank god for dogs on our planet I plan my day around my dog. I love to have a routine. That way the dog knows what to expect. For instance food and drink at the same hour. I treat other dogs like my own. We can go inside or outside. I’m very flexible to completely understand them. I think gods are sensitive.

I’ve shaped my schedule around being there when your pets need me most, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays.

About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.

Riley did an excellent job taking my Siberian Husky out for a walk. He was respectful and communicative through the booking process and punctual the day of the walk. For the walk, he asked thoughtful questions about my dog's care, preferences, and more. She came home happy, connected to him, and most importantly, tired. Thank you, Riely! Would and will book him again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Orinda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Orinda on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 12,546 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Orinda. 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 Orinda. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Orinda.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Orinda. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
