About: I grew up with a multi-poodle who was part of my life for 12 years. She was more than just a pet (she was family) and taking care of her taught me so much about what dogs need and how much love they give back. Since then, I’ve always been around dogs, whether it’s through friends or family, and it’s something that’s just always felt natural to me. I love being around them, and caring for them doesn’t feel like a task, it’s just something I genuinely enjoy. I am currently available anytime Monday through Friday. Outside of pet care, I just finished my bachelors degree in Architecture and am now studying for my licensing exams! Right now, I am offering pet care in my own home. I am also happy to care for pets in their own space, where they’re most comfortable. I always make sure to follow any instructions the owner provides, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific routines. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and personality, and I make it a priority to keep them feeling safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Michelle was wonderful with Tucker. She spent time getting to know him and took time to play with him and do some training when it was raining. She is super sweet and communicative. We will definitely use her again.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. From big dogs to small dogs. I currently have a 12 year old French bulldog. She is blind and deaf and has a hard time getting around. I do everything I possibly can to make her happy. From taking slow walks, to administering medication. She is the light of my life. I will make my dog my priority. I will keep them safe and happy. I will love them like they are my own. I am a college student home for the summer. I am currently only working for Rover! I am very flexible with home visits and walk times. My goal is to keep your home and your pets as safe as possible. I will make sure to lock doors, gates, and secure your pet in the home or crates as needed.

About: I’ve had my personal dog since I was 11 years old. He is always happy with me, smiles and loves me to death. He is quite old, but he is in a good health because I was looking after him, went to the veterinary with him, played with him, walked a lot and made him happy. I hope I will be able to share my love for pets and caring for them with your dogs! I am currently working part-time around 10-11 hours per week so I have a lot of free time and my schedule is flexible. Apart from working I can look after your dog but please schedule in advance. I have a backyard and a lawn for dogs to walk and play on. My neighborhood is safe and there are not a lot of big dogs there so small and medium dogs will feel good there.

About: Hello my name is Stephanie and since I am no longer able to have a dog, would love to help you walk or take care of yours! I love all types of dogs and love to create new best friends through love and care, cuddles, walks and treats. I take “hot girl walks” daily, would love a partner in crime to do it with. I do have a full time job, work mornings so am able to do evening walks or anytime Monday and Thursdays (my days off) also open to sitting at any time When I did have a cute little dog (3 I total), I trained them from a puppies and continued training in making sure they were well behaved and cared for always. Dogs to me are more than pets and I would treat yours just the same.

We have repeatedly book Jordyn to walk our 3-legged dog reactive girl while we’ve been out of town. Not only is Jordyn reliable, but she’s earned our trust even with our *special needs* dog. And our dog LOVES her. We will absolutely book Jordyn again and highly recommend her to others!

About: Since I was young I always kept small pets around, starting with two hamsters. As a gift before my first day of middle school, my parents finally allowed me to get a dog and I’ve been loving her since. She is now 8 years old and I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable letting their pets be taken care of by someone else. We don’t want to leave our little family members with just anyone which is why I think I’ll be able to offer a little extra love and happiness to your pets while they are home alone. In addition to my dog at home I have always watched over my friends and family member’s pets as they go on vacations or are just out for the day. I would love to be able to do that for your pet as well.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced walker who understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I currently have my own dog, Lucha, and caring for him has only reinforced how much attention, patience, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience walking and caring for dogs of various sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I always prioritize safety, follow owner instructions closely, and tailor walks to your dog’s pace—whether that’s a long, energetic walk or a slower, sniff-focused stroll. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same care and respect they receive at home, I’d love to help. I work remotely with some days I have to be in the officr. My schedule is very flexible so please just message me and we can try to work something out! Most weekends are filled with sports so I’m usually unavailable then but always willing to accommodate if it fits. I am able to follow any instructions given. It’s important that you feel like your dog is safe with me so any crate, fence or leash requirements will surely be followed!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments for over a decade. I’m especially comfortable with medium to large dogs and those that benefit from calm, consistent handling. My approach is structured and attentive. I follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety on walks, and pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort level. I believe dogs respond best to steady energy, clear boundaries, and predictable routines. I provide updates and photos after each visit so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, exercised, and settled. I take this responsibility seriously and aim to be someone pet parents can rely on week after week. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, especially on weekends. I’m available Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop-in visits, with flexible morning, midday, and afternoon availability. I plan my schedule carefully so I can arrive on time, focus fully on each visit, and provide consistent, reliable care rather than rushing between appointments. I prioritize safety, calm handling, and clear communication during every visit. I follow pet parents’ instructions carefully, use secure leashes and appropriate equipment, and stay attentive to each dog’s behavior and comfort level. I respect clients’ homes, double-check doors and gates, and provide photo updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was born! I've walked and fed them for years. I currently have three dogs and a cat who I love very much. I have pet sit in the past as well as babysat! I am a college student who has class Monday-Thursday and works a restaurant job twice a week. However, I am happy to pet sit around those things! I can easily crate the pet if needed, take them on walks and potty breaks, play outdoors, feed and refill water when needed, and make them feel as comfortable as possible!

This was our first time using Wendy after having a regular walker for about a year. We moved to a new location and Wendy was prompt in her response and friendly during the meet and greet. For the walk, she was patient with Jaxson, allowing him to warm up to her before going on their adventure together. We will definitely use her again!

Lisa just walked our MAX for the first time — it won’t be the last!! She’s awesome! Punctual, personable, savvy and a joy! She has this very calm demeanor and from the get-go I felt like MAX was in the best of hands with her. Lisa saved the day for us today. Max had a lovely walk with her and I will definitely tap her again when the need arises. So happy to have found my “go-to” pet walker/sitter - Lisa: you’re on speed dial with this pack! Thank you again.

If you’re searching for a Rancho Bernardo dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Rancho Bernardo.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
