About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: For walks: I'm very experienced at dog waking. I can handle big and small dogs. I can move at any pace on walks including running. I like to let the dog set the pace. I will typically ask owners what commands they use with their dogs so I can help keep them trained and have them heel on walks. I always avoid other dogs just in case. And on hot days I plan my walks in advance and leave water out for the dog on the route before I start the walk. For drop ins and sitting: I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm currently a student and since all my classes are online, I will have plenty of time for your pets. I'm free every day, but Thursday and I'm not free Saturday after 6pm I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm great about making sure the house is completely locked up and the key put back in it's place when I'm done.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child. My grandmother used to breed Pomeranians, which is what got me started. I’ve always had dogs in my life and also worked for a boarding/training facility before covid. My neighbors always trust me to care for their dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate weekday or weekend visits. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, and I’m happy to adjust times to fit your dog’s routine. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy by following routines, supervising play, securing their environment, and giving love, attention, and care in a clean, calm space.

About: Hi! My name is Kayla B. and I’m a Pre-Health student at UCSD who loves animals!! I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, puppies, bunnies, lizards, horses, chickens, and geese. I’ve also cared for more complex clients, including elderly animals and those requiring medication. I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters in my hometown, where I was trained in caring for dogs, bunnies, and puppies. I’ve also fostered animals, which has deepened my love and appreciation for them. Over the years, I’ve owned many different pets—including bunnies, dogs, lizards, fish, geckos, horses, and cats. I’m dedicated, hardworking, and always willing to go the extra mile. I’ll ensure your pet is well cared for and your home is left clean and tidy!! 💞🐕‍🦺 Right now since it’s summer I have quite a lot of availability in my schedule. This includes holidays, weekends, mornings, evenings, and even full days:) I care for all living creatures and have so much love for them. I think all animals deserve respect, love, and to be taken care of. I will always go above and beyond to ensure that your pet is healthy and happy🎀

About: Hello! My partner Brian and I live in the Pleasure point area of Santa Cruz, and we truly love taking care of all kinds of animals, I have had dogs and cats all my life and I am attuned to their needs and varying personalities. I have 5 years professional pet sitting experience and I been a dog mom to large dogs for 10+ years. Brian has been a dog parent to large dogs for 30 years. We are always the person that my friends, co-workers and neighbors come to when their dogs or cats need care. We recently moved out of Aptos, and we cannot host overnight dogs, in our new house, but we can host overnight cats. We have hosted cats for as long as five months in our house. Our house is very pet-friendly and they basically rule the roost, and they can sleep wherever they want. We are available to do drop-in dog care, walks or house sitting. We both love spending time outside in nature, hiking, and keeping an active lifestyle your pet will enjoy. We do not own any pets, so we are always looking forward to taking care of your fur babies! We love to take dogs outside to explore nature, play a game of fetch, beach romps, and redwoods hikes. We are experienced with dogs from puppies to elders, especially with senior dogs. We can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! We are available for long weekends and most holidays. My partner Brian’s schedule has recently changed so we can only board weekends, or possibly over a long weekend: We can take a Friday evening drop off at 5pm earliest, and can schedule a Monday morning pickup until 10 am or so. Our house is only available for boarding overnight cats, but we have lots of windows and sunny spots to curl up and take a nap. We have French doors that look out over the private backyard. We are set off the road behind a large fence, so it is extremely quiet.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience caring for my family’s dachshund and taking care of my own pets, including a snake, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. Caring for different animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every pet has different needs. I’m attentive to feeding routines, cleanliness, behavior, and making sure animals have a comfortable environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat yours with the same care and respect I’d want for my own! I’m organized and responsible, and I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the attention they deserve. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, and pet sitting times in advance to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I’ll do my best to maintain their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedules. I’ll communicate with you ahead of time to make sure we’re a good fit! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet has fresh water, appropriate food, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries rather than assuming every animal is the same. I’m careful with doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything that could pose a risk to your pet. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for responsibly, patiently, and with lots of love.

About: I am a long term animal lover and trainer. 20 years experience with larger dog breeds. I have a flexible schedule and excellent references. Many years experience with Cats too. Will provide care and feeding, exercise and play, grooming and clean up. Can handle multiple pets. rates flexible depending on type of pets, number of pets and if overnight. I have local references upon request. I am currently working part time, so I have lots of flexible time available to spend giving your dogs, cats and farm animals the very best of care! I provide a complete variety of pet services in your home. I am overly cautious about safety in and out of the home. I take extra precautions when walking your dog near other dogs and with allowing pets outdoors where wild predators can be nearby. I am very aware of other dogs and will not allow to approach unless previously known. My availability changes. Sometimes I work remotely from home doing business office support for clients. This affects the type of pet care assignments that I may accept due to logistics and pet needs. I care for pets in your home only and take dogs on outings and employ daily frequent play and walks. Your pets get lots of attention!

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: Hello! My name is Jennell and I am an energetic, kind, and fun person. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy the outdoors. I have a big heart for animals, experience with various types of animals, and my own fur baby at home, an indoor male cat. I've always had pets in my home, my current cat, and previous dogs, birds, fish, hamster, frogs, and snakes. I care for any other animals as I would want mine cared for. I've pet sat many times, different animals for different people. I work during the week but have breaks throughout my day and my workplace is down the street from my house only 2 minutes away. My weekends are free and spent at home with my fur baby or in the great outdoors. I have a large, fenced grass yard area to relax in and huge open field on my property to play fetch. I love going hiking and to the beach and have a car to transport animals in if you would like them to go on adventures too. Extra scratches and cuddles will also be included! I work during the week, but am available in the morning, mid-day, and evening to come home or go to your house to visit before or after work and during my breaks. I am available full day on the weekends. I care for pets with love and kindness. I will treat them as I would want mine to be treated. I am a very genuine person and love animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pajaro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 3,235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pajaro. 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 Pajaro. 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 Pajaro 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 Pajaro. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.
