About: I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and many other pets since I was very young. I love animals and children and getting to work with them, and they also love me! I can't wait to meet your fur (or scale) babies! I'm currently going to college part-time, so I have plenty of available time in my day. I am flexible with all hours and can work around your schedule as needed. I treat your pets and your home just as I would mine. I will give your fur babies and your personal space the love and respect they deserve. We will go over any rules and boundaries ahead of time so I can ensure I follow them. If you ever have any issues you can bring them to my attention right away.
“Nicole was great! She quickly established rapport with our dog and communicated well with me so we could adjust the walk times to avoid the hottest parts of the day. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“Jeanine was extremely thorough in the initial meet and greet with our animals. We really appreciated her attention to detail and loved all the pictures she sent with updates each visit. We would definitely recommend her to someone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: Hi there! I’m Logan and I thank you for giving my profile a look! My family has had dogs in our house since 2009, so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. I love any breed and size! I can’t work with cats as much family has a history of cat allergies. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.
“Madeline saved the day again! She’s professional, passionate and considerate. Apppa loves her. Highly recommend her to everyone with a fur baby in the Monterey area”
“Sarah was the best! She walked our dog, Bella, for a few weeks. Bella can be tough to walk, and Sarah made it look easy. Bella absolutely loved her and waiting for her by the window each day. Will definitely book Sarah again!”
“They were awesome. My dog had a blast. She came home very well walked and very happy. I appreciated the promptness in which they responded to my request for services. Will definitely look into using them in the future”
“Nadya helped us with a last minute request and took Peanut out for a potty trip early morning. She responded very fast and kept us updated about the walk. We really appreciate her help.”
About: Hello there! Because of my experience in the field, I am extremely comfortable with any abnormal situations. If you have plans or need to leave town and your fur baby is sick, I am not only able to watch over them but if any treatment or medications are needed, you baby is in great hands. I am currently working at an amazing animal hospital in Carlsbad, as a Vet tech- and absolutely love it! Pet care is part of my daily life/routine and I never get tired of it. I couldn't live my life any other way. I care for everyones animal as if they were my own. Because of my experience in hospitals and the shelter I am able to work with all types of animal personalities. Whether your baby is a social butterfly or more of a solo act, I have the experience and patience to work with them and make them as comfortable as possible

Love spending time taking care of my furry friends! I have a flexible schedule and can let you know my availability up to a month advance Growing up I always lived in a household with multiple dogs.

About: I took care of my neighbors' pets during high school and all of them were satisfied with my care. They always felt comfortable leaving me with their pets while they were on vacation. I am going to be a full time paralegal student in May. I currently have a lot of time on my hands that I would like to spend making money to help pay for it! I look out for body language signs of distress from the pets I take care of and act accordingly. If there are specific things the owner wants me to do, I make those a priority. I always stayed respectful to the owners' home, making sure to leave it the way I found it.
About: I've been taking care of family and friends dogs for countless of years. At some point I was able to convince my parents to adopt a puppy for my siblings and I. Ever since I’ve been in love with dogs!!! I am currently attending school at Miramar College. And I work a part time job at a Target. But with my free time I love to be active or outside. In my home we have trained our dog to be used to our little bunny. I can walk or run to keep your dog active and joyful
About: Growing up, my family and I have had 4 wonderful, healthy dogs! My family (parents specifically) have extensive experience in breeding as they are certified breeders. We are huge animal lovers and have always been passionate about giving the best life for our furry friends! I am currently working as a server, therefore I do occasionally work late nights (latest 10:00pm). With that, I am still always available to come before and after work as needed. When I take care of a pet in their home, my focus is on creating a seamless experience for both the pet and their owner. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific care instructions. I make sure to spend quality time with them, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and organized, ensuring food and water areas are tidy and that any messes are promptly cleaned up. Communication is important to me, so I send regular updates and photos to the owner to keep them at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make the pet feel secure and cared for, and the owner confident that their furry family member is in great hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Poway on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 10,326 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poway. 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 Poway. 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 Poway.

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 Poway. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
