“Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!”
“Tiffany was incredible, from the meet and greet to following the instructions and communication. Loved all the sweet pictures she took of my pup. Definitely recommend, and will be booking again for sure!”
“Laura is an amazing dog walker. She connected with both our dogs effortlessly and made sure that they both got what they needed from her time with them, despite the difference in their ages and physical health. She is also a fantastic photographer and great communicator - I looked forward to her updates each day :) She is now our go-to for all doggie exercise needs!!”
About: Hiya, I'm Peter! I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and have since provided countless hours of pet-care of friends, family, friends of the family, and families of friends! I have years of experience doing walks, play, feeding, bathing, clean-up and more. I have experience with excitable breeds like a neighbor's golden doodle to my family's mellowed-out portugese water doggies, along with senior care. I see animal care as a privilege. Our pets are no less than little bundles of feelings and life that we are given the opportunity to cherish. I have been told on multiple occasions that I am able to calm animals unusually quickly, and I feel that I am attuned to the emotions of animals I care for. I would love to opportunity to provide care to your pet! I work from home in a low-speed position, so I have a flexible schedule for your pets' needs. Normally, I would do a morning and afternoon walk, with potty breaks peppered whenever they need. I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.
“Just wanted to rave about Shawn! He was so communicative and responsible + took fabulous care with our energetic (+ not fully trained) 11-month old golden retriever. He popped over to the house to meet us + made sure that he had all bases covered. He let himself in when we were traveling out of town, took our puppy on walks, sent us videos + photos, fed our dog, and locked up. We felt fully comfortable that we were in good hands! Thank you, Shawn!”
About: My family’s had 2 Havanese dogs a little over 3 years now and I take care of them regularly when they go out for the night or leave town. In addition I occasionally sit for family friends who have a Yorkie and used to watch a neighbor’s cat when she was still with us. Most animals find me agreeable and I try to be consistent and loving with any younger ones so that they’re shaped into the best possible pets. I’ve recently left my long-term job to focus on watching/walking pets. I do some gig work to make ends meet but my main passion right now is animal care. I have a spacious loft apartment in Chinatown Oakland in a very safe neighborhood just a few minutes walk from Lake Merritt. Crating (with one provided for me) in the apartment is an option as well as my sectional couch or rug depending on your animal’s preferences.
About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!
“Jen is super communicative whether it’s regarding coordinating logistics or sharing updates about our dog, Bento. It really just helps put our minds at ease especially when we’re traveling. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was terrific with Koa, our energetic and somewhat dog shy Bernadoodle puppy. Laura came on time checked in with me ahead of coming over. Koa had a great time on her hour walk and came home happy. Laura shared a great note about their time together and some photos too! She is very experienced and comfortable with dogs and had no trouble managing all that puppy energy and even helping Koa say hello to another dog along the way. We will certainly have her walk Koa again soon!”
“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”
About: I've been working with dogs of a variety of ages and breeds to add to my income, providing house sitting and dogwalking. I'm happy to help with routine duties and can discuss your pet's needs. I have a part-time remote schedule and am interested in discussing drop-ins or walks from 10-2 on weekdays. I can rearrange work to provide flexible support on request. I can provide drop-ins or walks, according to client instructions. I am not providing care in my own home currently, but I can travel to clients.
“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”
“Thank you, Nancy, for trying to walk Viggo. Even though he didn’t feel like walking and laid down on the sidewalk, Nancy did her best to get him moving. And she sent cute pics of his protest;)”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits for extended stays. I am attentive, responsible, reliable, and active. I know animal behavior and can reliably walk dogs while keeping them calm and engaged for a happy experience for all. I have owned my own cats and dogs for most of my life. After losing my dear Kenny 3 years ago, I have enjoyed caring for the pets of others until I am ready to adopt again. :) I am able to stay in your home for housesitting and am also available for dog walks and cat car pop-ins. Please get in touch to tell me more about your needs! I work for myself and have a flexible schedule, including as a property manager. I am able to blend in seamlessly with your family's schedule and needs and I will follow whatever instructions are provided. I only provide services in my clients' homes. I am able to housesit or provide drop in care as needed. I always leave the home in better condition than I found it and truly love spending time with your critters.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Piedmont
Agnes was incredibly patience with my shy dog and went above and beyond to ensure she felt comfortable and was able to go outside. Agnes made sure to ask important safety questions re: vet info & emergency contacts, which gave me a lot of confidence and reassurance. I would definitely book Agnes again!
Jessica is a great communicator, thoughtful and detail oriented! She kept me looped in throughout her visit and shared lots of photos. When my frenchie was being a diva and didn’t want to go home, she was patient and checked in with me before carrying him inside. Would highly recommend her to other anxious pet owners!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Piedmont is $30 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $50 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 12,469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Piedmont. 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 Piedmont. 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 Piedmont 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 Piedmont. 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.
