About: Hi, I’m nicole . I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I’m currently working at night. So I’m mostly at home all the time. I am up all morning and afternoon. Then like around 8 o’clock I go to sleep. I have a fenced yard where they can play and There’s also a dog park nearby and a Beach I should go there almost every day. So I do go for long runs around the house there’s also a dog park nearby or usually go to the beach I do try to keep them occupied well it depends on the energy
About: I grew up in a household with 4 different dogs of all different sizes and many other pets. Taking care of pets and prioritizing their well brings my life fulfillment. I have alot of patience and space in my heart for senior dogs. I know what it's like to have a dog with separation anxiety and also having it yourself. Thank you letting me take care of your dog. Pretty open schedule, just taking online school courses. Unavailable between 3pm-7pm PST. Happy to take your dog on long walks around the beach, Fort Funston, Golden Gate Park, etc. I have no problem driving and picking up your dog. I can layout pillows and blankets for big dogs, and have a car seat for small dogs. I also have a stroller for dogs 30lb< and a dog backpack for 10lb< if you know your dog gets tired. I live in a pet friendly apartment near the Pacifica beaches. There is a young, scared, but very affectionate maltase dog that lives here. He is harmless, just was not exposed enough as a puppy. I make dog food for my sister's dog that is just Ground Beef/Turkey or Salmon, Rice, and two pet friendly greens; happy to share some with your dog :)
About: I have a deep care and understanding for dogs. I have taken care of young puppies as well as dogs as old as 16. I truly enjoy spending time with them and just making sure they are happiest they can be I am available for pet care on all days of the week and can work around my schedule for what best fits. I have flexibility I will ensure if there are enclosed areas that they are closed so make sure no runaways. I will also make sure that they are properly enriched with toys and treats.
About: Hi! I’m Victor! I love animals! Over the past 6 years or so friends and clients have hired me to pet sit, dog walk, drop in on their cat, look after the puppy, feed the bunny, you name it!! I’ve got tons of animal experience from being out in nature so often in my life. My older brother worked for the zoo when I was growing up, I held all sorts of reptiles and birds. I exercise daily, so adding your dog to the routine is a great way to spice things up! Although I’ll do my best to match your dog’s energy. Getting excited enough for a run is a good thing, but calmness has value too. I do command training whilst out and about with your dog reinforced with treats and/or attention. I try to care for your pet as best I can while you’re away. Currently I am enrolled in class once a week so I have availability to be certain your pet has attention all throughout the day, alone for 3 hours at the longest. Typically I walk the dogs I sit for about 1-4 hours over the course of 2 walks and 2 relief breaks to get outside. I believe it’s important for dogs to be outside and experience smells. It’s so cute to see them sniff around! I wake up to do exercises before taking the dog out on what aims to be a long morning walk. Especially if we didn’t get out the night before. This ranges from 3-6miles depending on how much time we have. Upon returning, breakfast, stretches and playtime. At this point, if I have work, I step out until I’m finished and then return for an afternoon walk, dinner, stretches, and a relief walk before zzz. Without work I’ll cuddle with the dog, clean up the place, cook some food, do various training exercises with the dog, or go out on extra walks. I don’t offer boarding services at my place unfortunately.
“Marisela has been great with our new adopted dog, Jack-Jack. He’s been sick this week, and Marisela was very kind and compassionate. Checking in to see if he’s okay and making sure he’s comfortable and gets fresh air when he wasn’t wanting to walk. You can tell she loves dogs!”
About: I have a big house with many comfortable spots to choose from. There is plenty of yard for your curiosity and a warm deck to soak up some sunshine. The house is pet friendly and clean. You have my undivided attention and I can take you with me most of the time. I love your company and miss you when you go home. Discount for multi-dog families and extended stays. I work part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. There is someone home almost all of the time, the exception being a couple of hours in the early afternoon. I have a huge picture window facing a mountainside that sports many animals that entertain us. I have a high fence and secure gate. Not many visitors or much foot traffic. Quiet and safe.
“Ivan stepped in to help walk our two large to giant sized dogs shortly after my husband had surgery, sometimes supporting after last minute notice. Ivan is a good communicator. He smoothly navigated our dogs’ different personalities and walking styles (and a talkative neighbor). Ivan was also conscious of how the recent heat wave may affect our dogs’ safety and offered potential solutions. Thank you, Ivan!”
“We've used Zheng many times for both boarding and dog walking, and every experience has been fantastic. Our two dogs absolutely light up with excitement when they’re dropped off! Zheng is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive with our pups. Also great at communicating—we always receive plenty of updates and adorable photos of our dogs having a wonderful time. Highly recommend!”
“Meghann was absolutely amazing with our dog! Our dog can be a bit shy, but she loved Meghann right away! Meghann gave our dog her daily walks and spent time making sure she was settled and taken care of. We will definitely book with Meghann again! ❤️”
“Jaron has been great with walking my little pup while I’ve had a broken foot! He is very reliable and professional, and Luna has a great time walking with him. Highly recommend!”
About: 1. Took care of family cats, ensuring they were well-fed, groomed, and entertained. 2. Looked after a Husky, managing its energy with daily walks and playtime. 3. Cared for a Maltese, providing regular grooming and attention to its small, delicate needs. 4. Looked after Shiba Inus, handling their independent nature while maintaining a routine of exercise and care. 5. Raised and trained puppies, teaching them basic commands and socializing them with other pets and people. I recently left my full-time job, so I now have much more flexibility during the day. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits Monday through Friday, with open availability throughout the daytime and into the early evening. I can often accommodate short-notice or same-day requests too. When caring for a pet at a client's home, I prioritize following their specific instructions to ensure the pet feels comfortable and well-cared for. I make sure to stick to their usual routine—whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, or medication—so the pet experiences minimal disruption. I aim to create a calm and familiar environment, offering plenty of attention, affection, and respect for the pet’s personal space. My goal is to keep them happy, secure, and as relaxed as possible while their owner is away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5 years (maybe more). Neighbors, friends, and relatives have relied on me for walks, feeding, and grooming. I enjoy taking care of pets(in general) because I love seeing their personalities shine through and it’s rewarding to see them enjoy their time with me. As always I make sure the care I give is the same as their owners because I want to make sure the routine doesn’t change. I work from home which is convenient because my schedule is very flexible. I’m usually free in the afternoons from Monday to Wednesday (1-7pm). Thursdays are my busiest days at work as I have meetings all day until 5pm. And most Fridays I’m free as well(10:30am-6pm). For house sitting, since I have a pet of my own (a cat 🐱), I would need to be home by 6:30pm to feed her for dinner. So I would prefer to care for your pet during the day, leave around 6pm, then come back the following morning to continue care. I am open to staying overnight but it would have to be 2 nights at max. Any house sitting stays more than 2 nights I would need to leave to feed my cat dinner and come back the following morning. When doing visits, I will be attentive of your pet and their environment at all times. Every visit I’ll make sure they’re well fed, water is fresh, and play with them as needed. Please let me know if there are specific instructions that I need to follow when I’m at your residence. I’m also familiar with a bunch of parks that are dog/pet friendly in the peninsula so your pet will always be entertained and safe in my care. Also for house sits, because I wfh and work with patients, please let me know of any cameras in your place and make sure to mute the microphones as I do not want to violate HIPAA.
“Perry is amazing with my husky girl. She always seems very happy when I come home. He makes sure she has lots of fun, love and exercise even if it means a few extra minutes of his time. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up around small dogs, cats, and even koi fish! I work remotely and have the flexibility to drop in for visits, walks, and playtime for your furry friend (I will love reptiles from a distance). I have experience with pet medications/vitamins, senior pet assistance, and hiking/long walks. To me, pets are like family, and I understand the importance of making sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for. Working remotely gives me a flexible daily schedule to pop in for walks, feeding, and dedicated play sessions. I focus on giving every pet personal attention so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If your dog loves adventure, weekend hikes are always an option! I bring a detail-oriented, respectful approach to every visit so you can have complete peace of mind: Respecting Your Home: I strictly follow house rules (no shoes, no eating, leaving your space exactly as I found it). Tailored Care: I closely follow your exact instructions to ensure your pet's routine stays consistent. Reliable Service: Patient, punctual, organized, and truly dedicated to keeping your pet safe and loved.
About: I absolutely have the biggest soft spot for the pups! My girl is my world. I can promise you your pup will be in the best hands and spoiled while under my care :) My dog is home during the week with family members. Has full range of outdoors and lots of love! She gets full spoiled treatment 24/7! I have a big fenced in backyard . The dogs have free range of indoor and outdoor. My house has lots of cameras so I can ensure your pet will be safe and supervised.
“Lehna has been a great resource for the care of my two staffies. I have booked her several times already for walks and drop ins. She responds very quickly to requests, has strong communication skills and she updates me with details about how my dogs behaved with her. She has been professional and responsible and I can easily recommend her.”
About: Hello! I have been a pet sitter for 5 years, building a community in my area. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, chickens and turtles, sometimes multiple animals at once. I am available to do drop ins and walks throughout the day and for pet sitting overnights. My calendar is always updated and I can take urgent requests as well. I make sure to give your fur baby a lot of attention and cuddles, along with playing with toys and taking them out on walks. For dogs, I will typically do a meet and greet to make sure they feel comfortable around me.

Cheryl was awesome and I highly recommend her! She walked our two pups Hiro (Shiba Inu) and Tucson (Mini Australian Shepherd) for a week straight while we went on vacation and she was great. Even though we had a very reactive Mini Australian Shepherd she was still able to handle him with care. It was a last minute request too and she came through for us. Our dogs loved walking with her and we will continue to use her services. I highly recommend her very professional and communicates well. We felt our pups were in good hands. Thank you Cheryl!
Marisela was wonderful! I was in town for a month for work and she was so helpful walking my dog regularly while I was in the office. She was very flexible and responsive, and I could tell she put a lot of care in what she does. My dog loved the walks and I really appreciated the frequent pictures and updates! I would highly recommend booking her for your needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Pacifica is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $42 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 10,840 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pacifica. 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 Pacifica. 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 Pacifica 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 Pacifica. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
