“In the days of people being flaky and irresponsible, what a relief and joy it is to have found Danielle!!! I knew from the initial prompt response from her that she was going to be a rare find!!! I have an 80 lb Pitbull that I pulled from Lancaster Animal Shelter in March. He is a great dog but strong and intimidating looking. I had a friend spending the night but I needed someone to walk him and hang out with him. He had so much fun with Danielle and got exactly the activity he needed! She did alot of enriching activities with him and I SOOOO appreciated the photos and vids and updates of how she left him (ie where the water was with pics, he was out in the house or in the office, etc). She made my international trip so much more relaxing and less stressful knowing he was being well cared for! I have already booked her again and will most certainly continue to use her in the future!!!”
“Johanna was wonderful with Flynn. She was quick to respond to our request, friendly and came by to meet him ahead of time which made us and Flynn feel very comfortable. Would definitely book her again :)”
“Lyndsey was great!. Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”
“Ellyn saved the evening when my absent-mindedness forgot I had an event tonight and Gretel would need a walk and dinner. Always reliable and a real pleasure - Ellyn is so great with my spicy little girl. Thank you Ellyn!!!”
“Eli did a great job walking Max. Max gets stressed when I leave. Eli is patient with Max and even helps Max eat when normally he wouldn’t because he’s stressed. Grateful for Eli! Will definitely use Eli again.”
“Kylie took great care of our senior dog Kruger. She was very responsive, trustworthy, professional and provided regular updates while we were out of town. I would book with her again!”
“So kind and accommodating! My poor guy was limping and had been stung by a bee and she went and checked on him for me while I had to go into work quickly before taking him to the vet. She sat with him and gave him lots of love and was so nice. Would definitely use her again!!”
“A.J. is legit the best . He’s very communicative and quick to respond to any messages. He gets along great with my dog , who can be a bit naughty at times during her walks. Would give him 10 stars if possible.”
About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. I am experienced with handling horses (so I am not afraid of large animals.) Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.
“Azucena was tremendous as a dog walker. She was always on time, incredibly reliable and very kind. She takes her job very seriously and was very helpful to us during a two month period in which we could not walk our dog. We would definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Jessica was great, took care of our dog, did all the things we asked her to do with him, and she was awesome enough to take care of him on short notice. Will be using her again”
About: I grew up with german shepards and currently have 2 cats, Harry and Luna. I walked dogs for 7 years in Chicago and I have experience with all temperaments. Oh and animals tend to trust me quickly. Let’s chat! I have open availability Monday and Tuesday and from 3-9pm every other day. I am a fast communicator, so feel free to reach out and see if we can find a time that works. I can meet your dog’s needs. I have worked with many breeds and behavior types throughout my years walking dogs. I have a soft spot for quirky animals
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages including my own dogs, who are both large breeds (pit/mastiff mix and boxer)! I feel comfortable caring for and walking large and/or reactive dogs as well as other dogs and animals. I also have puppy care experience (including my own) and know how to keep a watchful eye on them. I am currently available every weekday and weekend from 9am until 9pm and am very flexible and attentive with scheduling. I am available for check-ins, walks, in-house sitting, feeding, and playtime! While I can not board animals in my home, I can travel to yours where your pet will be most comfortable. I keep a constant eye on the animals at all times and care for them as if they were my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rancho Santa Fe on Rover is $18.87 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 10,584 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rancho Santa Fe. 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 Rancho Santa Fe. 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 Rancho Santa Fe.

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 Rancho Santa Fe. 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.
