“Holly took wonderful care of my German Shepherd, Nicolai, for the week. She kept me updated every day with pictures and details of their walking routes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nicolai looked incredibly happy and well cared for in every update. It’s clear Holly genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog walker! I look forward to rebooking Holly in the very near future. Hugs I appreciate you.”

“Marley is amazing. She is prompt, reliable and communicative. I felt so at ease knowing my dog was in good hands and getting some great exercise. While he’s normally a bowling ball of energy when I get home from work, he’s so much more relaxed after his walks with Marley.”

About: For walks: I'm very experienced at dog waking. I can handle big and small dogs. I can move at any pace on walks including running. I like to let the dog set the pace. I will typically ask owners what commands they use with their dogs so I can help keep them trained and have them heel on walks. I always avoid other dogs just in case. And on hot days I plan my walks in advance and leave water out for the dog on the route before I start the walk. For drop ins and sitting: I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm currently a student and since all my classes are online, I will have plenty of time for your pets. I'm free every day, but Thursday and I'm not free Saturday after 6pm I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm great about making sure the house is completely locked up and the key put back in it's place when I'm done.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. My parents and my sister have dogs that I help take care of and love to take on walks! I don’t have a dog of my own because I’m not allowed to have one where I live but I’d love to get my dog fix through helping take care of yours! I’m currently in the middle of finding a new job. I just moved back home from San Luis Obispo. I’m open weekdays mostly mid mornings. I walk/run down at rio almost everyday and love to stay active. Would love dog friends to join! I have a fenced yard off the main roads. My parents have a golden doodle and a couple of cats that love to run on the property plus it’s a very family oriented and friendly neighborhood.

About: *Currently only taking established clients* Hi y’all! I’m a local and have slowly been building a clientele, so I thought to put a profile to easily share with them my availability. I honestly do this for fun! I have years of expertise taking care of all sorts of animals. I am patient and a good listener with your fur babies. In addition, I am detailed when it comes to instructions from the owners on what the pet needs and their behaviors. No stone goes unturned. Because I do this for fun, the money is the last thing on my mind. So, if you’re on a tight budget, I hope my low rates help you out. If you still need to arrange something that fits your budget, please contact me! I am happy to help. I hope to be part of your fur baby’s life! I’m currently working from home, so I’m available for full pet care unless it’s days I travel out of town for work, which will be posted on the calendar. However, if you need pet care and you are in a rush/in an emergency, feel free to reach out and I am always happy to accommodate when possible. I make sure that when taking care of pets in a clients home that everything is left spick and span— I’ll sometimes do light cleaning so that owners come home from their long trip to a sparkling home that smells fresh and clean. When taking care of pets in my home, it is the same way. I will always dedicate plenty of time to your fur babies and they will be with me wherever I go.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I don’t believe in rushing through a visit or simply checking a box. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and highly communicative. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet simply needs consistency while you’re away, I’ll provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. As someone who leads an active lifestyle, I’m happy to keep energetic dogs engaged while also recognizing when a pet needs a slower pace. I’ll always respect your instructions, provide regular photo and message updates, and treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.

Will provide care and feeding, exercise and play, grooming and clean up. Can handle multiple pets. rates flexible depending on type of pets, number of pets and if overnight.

I provide a complete variety of pet services in your home. I am overly cautious about safety in and out of the home. I take extra precautions when walking your dog near other dogs and with allowing pets outdoors where wild predators can be nearby. I am very aware of other dogs and will not allow to approach unless previously known. My availability changes. Sometimes I work remotely from home doing business office support for clients. This affects the type of pet care assignments that I may accept due to logistics and pet needs. I care for pets in your home only and take dogs on outings and employ daily frequent play and walks. Your pets get lots of attention!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Port Watsonvile

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 3,710 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Port Watsonvile. 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 your Port Watsonvile. 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 Port Watsonvile.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Port Watsonvile. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
