About: Growing up with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals made me love them even more! I also love the outdoors and take daily walks, but my apartment doesn't have space for a dog. So I would love to walk with yours if your dog needs some extra attention and outdoors time too! I work as an after-school math educator and love to go on walks! I don't get enough steps in during my evening shifts, and you probably can't walk your pup during work, so this is the best of both worlds :) I always say my cats have a better life than I do, and I want the same for your pets! I'd love to message you a photo of our walks for your reassurance and entertainment :)
“We wanted to thank Mitchell for taking care of our boys. Mitchell was very accommodating to our change of plans and the boys were very happy to see him and go for their walks. Thank you so much!!!”

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m usually home during the hours when many owners are away at work or busy, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship . Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for animals. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide fresh water, daily playtime, and outdoor breaks as needed. I keep their schedule consistent with what they’re used to—whether it’s feeding, walks, or quiet rest—so they feel secure and happy. Most importantly, I give them plenty of love and attention, making sure they feel like part of the family during their stay.”
“Tom walked our fur baby several times over two weeks. He was on time and returned our pup at 30 mins, enough time for all his potty business and exercise! Thank you, Tom!”

“Christina spoiled our pooch, taking her on a nice long walk while making time to take breaks in the shade and play. We also got really cute photos from the walk, assuring us our pup was in very good hands.”

“Chalise is awesome! I didn’t have the chance to meet her before having her walk my dogs but figured she would be a great fit because of all her other great reviews and I was not wrong! She arrived when she said she would, took pictures of the walk”


“Stephanie was fantastic. She completed daily walks with my senior pup and prepared his dinner. She was excellent at communicating and provided tons of photos which helped keep this traveling dog mama's mind at ease.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I currently have a small dog of my own and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve also participated in obedience training with my dogs, so I’m comfortable with basic commands, routines, and reinforcing good behavior. I’m responsible, attentive, energetic, and great at communicating with pet parents. I genuinely love animals and will treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting out of the house for some extra activity. I’d love to use that flexibility to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and earn a little extra income along the way. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with walks and drop-in visits while still being reliable and consistent. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make their comfort, safety, and routine a priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to their behavior and personality and will give them plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and activity they need while keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated and communicate throughout the visit so you know how your pet is doing
About: I took care of my family and friends’ dogs while they were away . I deeply believe pets are our truest friends and family members too.So we treat them with great love . I am currently not working. So I have plenty of time to connect and play with your pets. We will take walks as much as they needed. I don’t have a fenced yard. But I have a crater. It means I can care for your dog in your house as you instructed or I can use crater in my house.

“Gwen is so amazing!!! She did everything I asked and made sure to put shoes on my dog, Maui. She's super sweet and considerate. I love the fact she sends pictures and texts back right away. Can't wait to book more services with Gwen 😊”


About: I’ve been around dogs all of my life. As such, I feel comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and ages. During high school, I began pet- and housesitting professionally for Pleasanton Pets. Customers were always satisfied with my services, listing my respectfulness and punctuality as my best traits. Since then, I’ve also helped raise a puppy under certain regulations prior to its entry to a Guide Dog program in Norway. I have recently completed my MSc in Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin. I am eager to take on a part time role as a Petsitter while I apply to more relevant full time jobs. This allows me to be available for petsits any day of the week. I do not currently offer petsits in my own home. However, as mentioned in a previous section, I have had many dogs (and cats) through the years, and am comfortable/familiar with most procedures people implement for their pets in their own homes.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: With over 13 years of pet care experience—including a decade dedicated specifically to dogs—caring for animals is both my passion and my calling. I raised my own rescue, a friendly Labrador/Pitbull mix, from the time he was a tiny four-week-old pup, so I deeply understand the level of patience, tenderness, and attentiveness every dog deserves. I offer attentive overnight care and day services tailored to your dog’s unique routine. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, invigorating walks, or cozy downtime, I adapt completely to their needs. I'm a student at UCSB. When I am off class, I work part-time with rover. Taking care of your dog would be far from a job for me. Tending to the loving companions dogs are fulfills my day like no other. My neighborhood is surrounded by pet owners so ur dog will have company on his/her walks. Dog sitting at the owners house will also not be a problem, and I'm very reachable on my phone for constant updates.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 2 years, including dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I make sure each fur baby feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of cuddles! I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated every step of the way I’m working part-time, which means I have plenty of quality time to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays after 2pm, and fully open on weekends for boarding and longer stays. Whether your pup loves playtime or just needs cozy company, I’m here to fit your schedule and keep them happy. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of affection and attention to their needs. I closely follow any routines, feeding instructions, or training cues you rely on at home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication—expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away
About: They say to love what you do, right? So I figured, why not make a little extra cash doing something I truly love—because let’s be honest, four kids in ⚽️ isn’t cheap! I’ve been around animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to barnyard friends. These days, I share my home with an Italian Greyhound, two kitties, and my four lovely kids. I’m detail-oriented and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a nice long walk to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air, or some playtime and snuggles, your furry fam will get plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to provide drop-in visits for feedings, playtime, and extra attention. I love making sure your furry fam feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I am detail-oriented and treat everything with respect and care. I follow instructions, leave things tidy, and ensure your furry fam feels loved and safe. I believe in leaving things better than I found them and treating others’ homes and pets the way I would want mine treated.
About: Hello, my family and I are huge animal lovers. We have been pet sitting for for a little over 3 of years now. We travel for long periods so don't have our own pets. This is why when your pet comes to our house, he/she will get spoiled with attention. We try and keep animals that are smaller than 50-55 lbs so they can enjoy free space in the house. I sometimes work at a school so my weekday calendar is usually blocked . Dogs will get lots of exercise when they're with us. about every 2 hours. They are allowed up on the sofa so come cuddle with us. Looking forward to meeting your fur family. I work at a school part time. So daytime usually they will hang out with my husband who works from home. Then afternoon onwards, myself and my two extremely gentle and sweet teen kids will be home to give the pet our undecided attention. Our house is fully fenced all around and pets will always be inside the house unless they want to sun bathe in the back yard.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Pleasanton is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasanton
Zach has been walking our 5-year-old fox red Labrador, Ruby for awhile now, and we couldn’t be happier. Ruby absolutely loves Zach — she gets excited the moment he arrives, which tells us everything we need to know. He’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Ruby comes home happy and well-exercised every time. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.

Carly has been amazing with my dog Lady. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. Lady took to her right away and always comes back from walks happy and well exercised. Carly also keeps me updated, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk or care for their dogs.

Stephen was wonderful! We loved reading the Rover cards he would write us and the pictures are always so cute. Our dog is one of the most important things in our life and we are so grateful for the care he received with Stephen. Steve gave us ease of mind while we are gone and did a great job with our pup. It was such a great relief knowing there was a reliable sitter we could trust to care for our little guy. Thanks Steve!

Rick has been a great dog walker for my 5 yr old lab. Rick is punctual and accommodating. She was very apprehensive at the beginning but he managed to get her to like him. I can see that he truly loves dogs and genuinely is interested in making them comfortable. My lab is very happy to see him and waits to be walked.
Jianan did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was at work. He put a lot of care into looking after our dog, sending us photos and videos. My dog was so happy, and I highly recommend Jianan to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter! I’d definitely book again.

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 Pleasanton. 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 Pleasanton.

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 Pleasanton. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
