“So energetic and sweet. Went above and beyond to give my pup a good walk.Even though Leo is usually shy, he was excited to meet her during meet & greet. Thanks so much!”
“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”
“Olivia is a great dog walker! She genuinely cares for the pets and makes sure they're taken care of before she leaves them. My Daisy looked forward to her daily visits and got so excited to see her open the door to greet her. Would definitely reach out to Olivia again for future services. Daisy will be so happy to see her again!”
About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.

About: I have had dogs all my life. I love them, take good care of them and they love me. I will take care of your dog like they are family I’m retired and love dogs. I love to walk and walking with a dog will make it that much better. I Also love to play with dogs and I will make sure they are exercised. My house is dog proofed and I’m always there to make sure they are safe and happy. I will take good care of them, always.
About: I’m a student looking to make some extra cash by hanging out with something I love the most - animals! I’ve been taking care of other people’s animals since I was 8 and have loved it ever since. I have experience with all types of sizes and activity levels of dogs, as well as cats, birds, and rodents. I have two little nuggets of my own: a miniature schnauzer and a shih tzu. I don’t have a lot of experience with medicating dogs or cats past oral meds, but I’m not squeamish as well as a fast learner and I’ve volunteered rehabilitating different types of wildlife that has required more than giving the basic pill. I figured if I can learn to handle wild animals, I can learn pretty much anything when it comes to animals. Hope to hear from you so I can love your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently a student at University of San Diego where I’m mostly at school in the mornings, so the rest of my day I’m more than accessible to spend time with your pets. I only do care in a client’s home, which I actually prefer because I think it makes things less stressful for the pets to be in there own home. I like to stick to the animal’s schedules as much as possible, meaning time of day they eat, when they go out to do their business, whether they get walks and how many, where they sleep at night, etc.
“Thank you sooooooo very much! That sounds like a typical day when we walk/run. I appreciate you taking him and even letting some of his energy out. He loves that. I can tell he was happy as when I got home he was wagging his tail, and he just loves meeting new people. He can’t wait for his next walk with ya Jessica! And Thank you for the lockbox, got it!”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! As a lifelong animal lover with over 16 years of hands-on pet care experience, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention, patience, and lots of love. I’m also a proud dog mom to Stevie, my adventure buddy who joins me on weekly hikes and keeps me active outdoors. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or attentive in-home sitting, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust, and I look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and house sitting throughout the week. I make it a priority to give every pet plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, exercise needs, and any special requests. If participating in daycare, my home has a fully fenced yard and is located just minutes from Larkey Park, providing a safe environment for play, exercise, and enrichment.
About: I used to manage a doggy daycare and am experienced with basic obedience training, walks, drop-in visits, and boarding. I currently have a 4-year-old Labradoodle named Cooper and a 2-year-old Mini Long-Haired Dachshund named Bilbo. A typical daycare day in my home includes 1–2 long walks, multiple potty breaks throughout the day, park time, playtime, plenty of enrichment and socialization, and of course lots of snuggles on the couch. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾💕 For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only accept dogs under 10 pounds for both daycare and boarding. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I’m home most of the day. My dogs are a big part of my life, so daily walks, park visits, outdoor time, and even hikes are already part of my schedule. I provide plenty of potty breaks, supervision, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. If your dog eats wet food, I can also accommodate that, as I regularly prepare human-grade meals for my own dogs. Please let me know about any allergies, dietary restrictions, or special needs so I can provide the best care possible. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own. In my home, pets are always supervised, have access to fresh water, comfortable places to rest, and plenty of potty breaks, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and care preferences carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and environment to help their pet feel comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and currently own a cat. As a nursing student, I’m reliable and committed to your pets comfort & happiness. I’m currently available quite often since I’m on summer break before I return for my next fall semester, so I can make pet care my priority and plan my commitments carefully. I will communicate my availability and ensure attention, exercise, and companionship for your pets. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is challenging. I will treat both with the same care and respect as my home, keeping you updated to provide peace of mind while you’re away.
“Emily was great! I booked her day-of on a holiday weekend in a bind and she was super fast to respond, asked clarifying questions to make sure things went smoothly, and then sent lots of pics and reported back on how things went. She even stayed over a few minutes to make sure our dog went potty which was much appreciated. We will definitely use her again for dog walking!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Pleasant Hill is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Hill
We have had wonderful experiences working with Kelly. Our dog hasn’t had much exposure to new people and can be a bit nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to help our dog feel comfortable, and we were so impressed with how quickly trust developed. She was also extremely communicative, keeping us updated and answering any questions we had, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. In addition, Kelly has been very flexible and willing to help us coordinate dog sitting coverage during an important time for our family. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for our dog has truly stood out. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker or pet sitter!
Emily was on time, and asked thoughtful questions around how Ronnie walks, potty breaks, harness, snacks, and what I recommend when it the temperature is too hot for a typical walk. I could tell she has dogs and takes good care of them. Ronnie came back so happy and gave her a ton of kisses showing that he trusted her on the walk! Already booked follow up walks!
Máire has been walking our senior pittie for a few weeks now and I can really say Máire has been doing a great job. Super communicative. On time. And my dog loves Máire. My dog can be pretty people selective when it comes to actually liking people and she never has a problem leaving with Máire. Maire is very understanding of my dog’s senior shenanigans and her health problems that have caused her to slow down as she’s gotten older. I have continued to re-book with Máire consistently.
Selena S is amazing ! I needed help after I injured my ankle and couldn’t walk my dog Vito! Selena was so great in helping me feel comfortable about her walking my dog Vito. Selena is reliable, studious in the way she made contact for the times that was scheduled and great with Vito! Vito took to Selena immediately, he has great instincts! When she was schedule to come, I would tell him a few minutes before and he would stare out the window for her arrival! I would highly recommend her and be grateful to have her back again when we needed!
As long as Liwei is on this app, we will always seek her first!! We feel very lucky to have come across Liwei 🤗 she was above and beyond professional. Set up a met and greet before she started walking our babies so they could get used to her with us around. Asked many questions so she could give the very best care. She regularly gives updates and pictures (which always made me smile at work). And not once did she leave any of my messages unanswered. Genuinely one of the sweetest person and of course my dogs loved her 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Wow he's amazing! I've never used a rover before because one of my dogs has aggressive tendencies towards dogs/people. So I've been pretty hesitant in using a rover/sitter. Joseph is absolutely amazing! Took his time, made sure the dogs were comfortable, read their body language. Just did everything right. By his second visit, my dogs absolutely adored him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Pleasant Hill on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of June 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 .

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 Pleasant Hill. 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 Pleasant Hill.

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 Pleasant Hill. 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.
