About: There’s nothing I won’t do for my dogs and I will treat your fur baby/ babies the same. I am reliable with a strong background caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve handled everything from high energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I prioritize safety, love, and playtime. I always provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I know what it feels like to miss your dogs throughout the day or on trips so I can assure you, you will receive as many photos and updates as possible! I’m currently working until 7pm on weekdays, with as many breaks in between as my job is very flexible in how I take my various breaks. I wake up early for my morning workouts so if early boarding or walks are needed I’d be more than happy to accommodate! I have a fenced backyard in my home and 2 dogs who are friendly and love to cuddle as well as play. I can easily crate your dog if need be and provide multiple walks and belly rubs.

About: I have owned several dogs since I was a child! I have learned to take proper care of pets and I enjoy spending time with them. I also enjoy learning about animals. ( I take an animal anatomy class ) I grew up training puppies, potty training, learning tricks. I also have taken care of elderly dogs before! I myself own a cat and a few dogs. I would love to get to know your pet! I work part-time, but I was enjoy to care for dogs or cats on my days off sometimes I would like to fill in that time and get a little extra cash and I believe I have good skills with animals and I also have a lot of patience and love for them. In my home with my pets, I enjoy having a routine and I understand that other people may also have a routine. It may not be the exact way. I have mine for my pets, but I will gladly follow your instructions. I believe I can keep things professional, and I am confident in my ability to comply.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks

About: My husband Brian and I love pets, especially dogs. I have cared for dogs that are high energy, need a lot of exercise and also dogs with special dietary needs and medications. Brian is a great and patient dog walker, especially with larger dogs and those that have a tendency to pull. We have about 10 regular dog and house sitting clients that can provide references including friends and neighbors. We love having getting outside and will happily take your pups on walks or to the park. I also am a graduate student and thus have a very predictable schedule from semester to semester, Brian also works from home. We have our own reliable transportation and have previously trained our own pets to do different tricks (even Guinea pigs!) and would be happy to provide that structure to your animals as well. As a graduate student, I can frequently set my own schedule week to week and Brian works from home so your pet will have company! I walk my dog every morning and would love to make it a pack walk! I have a large fenced yard with a big tree for shade! I also live near Bear Creek and many walking trails.

About: I've had dogs and cats (and many other animals) since I was super little, but have dog sat since I was 9. I love taking dogs for walks or just watching them! I'm super energetic and am always down for a walk. I have two cats and a dog back at my parents house! I have experience watching senior dogs and puppies! I love going on walks and taking them for a pup cup! I'm currently a full time student at Arizona State University but I am completely online so I never have to worry about leaving my home for classes. I provide safe, attentive, and personalized care for pets in my home or my clients’ homes. Depending on the service, this may include feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and maintaining routines to ensure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a large back yard and can easily crate your animal if needed.

About: I have been caring for animals all my life, on both sides of my family. I primarily grew up with dogs (of all shapes, sizes, and breeds), but I have grown to love cats just as much. I have experience caring for several animals simultaneously, including both cats and dogs. I have cared for animals from newborns to seniors and have experience caring for animals with medical needs (oral medication, injections, etc.). I love animals of all kinds and would love to take care of yours! I am a full-time student at Merced College, and I'm working on my ASTs in Mathematics and Computer Science & Engineering! I do have a couple of in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (online wasn't available), so please message me if you are interested in booking but unsure if the dates/ times will work. Other than that, I am generally free the rest of the week. I was recently accepted to UC Merced, and I'm scheduled to transfer this fall (2025). To fully focus on my studies, I will no longer be offering dog-sitting services after mid-August of this year. I really appreciate your understanding, thank you! I can travel as needed to care for your pet in your home. I am more than happy to adapt to whatever needs/ wants you may have regarding the care of your pet!

About: I've grown up with German Shepherds, and can lift up to 70 pounds. I often house sat for friends and family. One in which had me take care of four dogs and four cats. My jobs included feeding, walking, and playing with the dogs. As they were diffrent beeds/sizes and some were seniors, they had a very strict potty and pill/medicine times, as well as different portions sizes. I do best with written instructions and am task oriented. I am prepared for different animal behaviors and conditions, as I possess a certificate for veterinary assistance. In my care your pet will be throughly loved and cared for. As of right now I am free any day of the week. I am more then willing to do holidays as well as weekends. I am pretty flexible time wise, but do wish for dates to be final set. I am very mindful of pets security and animal behaviors. I will keep parents updated and alert if desired or in emergency situations. I will make sure your pet is taken care of and loved. I thank you for your consideration.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Planada

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 170 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Planada. 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 Planada. 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 Planada 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 Planada. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
