About: I have worked 4 years in the veterinary medicine field as a credentialed certified veterinary assistant and I have cared for many animals at many stages in life. I am able to provide high quality care with giving medications, subcutaneous fluids if needed, subcutaneous injections if needed for those medically diagnosed, and are able to know body language extremely well. I am very flexible and am open to moving my schedule around for any time that will be more accommodating to my client to help them feel more at ease. I always go above and beyond for my babies and would do the same for clients as well. I’ve always had a heart for animals since I was young and as I have helped animals in more conditions than 1, ranging from puppy-senior, healthy-chronically ill, I have a background that is made to have an attention to detail for fur babies and can put your mind at ease knowing your babies are in great hands.
About: I've had multiple dogs and taken care of animals for my neighbors, friends, and family my whole life. From goats to chickens to dogs to cats I love it all and take my responsibilities very seriously! I'm currently taking two online college courses as well as a lab so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your animals! I am a firm believer in not only making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and fed but also giving them love and attention so there emotionally and mentally fulfilled as well.
About: I love caring for all dogs as if they were my own. I have years of experience with my own dogs as well as with friends dogs. I walk, bathe, take care of over night if that’s what your pet needs. I’m fully committed to making this my full time job. Every day I am available and willing to travel as far as 15miles for walks and check ins. Also for boarding, they can spend the night and have a great time with me and my beautiful border collie. I have a big fenced backyard with doggy door access. A crate if that’s what you prefer. My dog is very friendly and loves to play. If you want me to drop by your home and check in to feed, bathe, administer medicine, or just simply play time. If they need a walk as well.
“He did a great job taking care of my dogs! He checked in on them, made sure they were fed, and took them on walks. One of my dogs can be pretty crazy and a handful, but he handled him really well and took great care of him. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands. I really appreciate his patience and care, and I would definitely recommend him!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I have several years of professional dog grooming experience, where I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with handling, bathing, brushing, and caring for pets with different needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone patient, trustworthy, and attentive to your pet’s individual personality. I will treat your pets with the same love, care, and respect I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they stick to their normal feeding and care routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their usual schedule and keep them comfortable while you’re away. As an experienced dog groomer, I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I always follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions, supervise pets carefully, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and needs, use gentle handling, and prioritize their safety and well being at all times. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to help pets feel secure and at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 712 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pleasanton. 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 Pleasanton. 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 Pleasanton 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.

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.
