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!!!

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.

About: I was raised on a farm, so I have experience caring for all kinds of animals and understand the responsibility and attention pets need. I’ve cared for playful puppies, gentle senior dogs, and curious kitties, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m reliable, communicative, and always provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve. I work from home on my laptop, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. My husband and I run our own business, which means we’re organized, reliable, and used to balancing responsibilities—so your pets are always in capable, loving hands. Whether in my home or at your home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special routines. In my home, I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and cozy spots for pets to relax. When visiting your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own, keeping your pets happy and your space tidy. I enjoy giving updates and photos so you can see your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Mark is super nice, professional, mature and trustworthy. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit skeptical about the type of person we were entrusting with our beloved Westie. Mark gladly agreed to meet with us which gave us a chance to get to know him. So far we have used him for about 8-10 walks and we are super pleased with him and with Rover.

About: I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, having raised and trained two of my own. I know how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes to help a nervous or reactive pup feel safe, and I’ve spent countless hours on exposure work and training to do just that. Whether your dog is shy, anxious, or still learning their manners, they’re in understanding hands with me Caring for dogs is part of my daily rhythm. Between my own dog and the time I spend on walks and play, dogs are always in my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and giving your pup the time and attention they deserve I’ll always come to you, where your dog feels safest. I’ll follow whatever routine your pup already knows, and when we’re walking, my phone stays in my pocket so your dog has my full attention. I always keep the leash secure and lock up before I go. If your dog is reactive, you’re in good hands. I’ve had two reactive dogs of my own, so I know how to stay calm, read the signs, and move them away from triggers before things get to be too much. Either way, you’ll get photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and safe

About: From walking my first childhood dog at 6 to caring for loved ones' dogs throughout my teens, I knew I loved pet care! I specialize in stubborn and/or hyperactive pups! I have walked dogs of all sizes and love getting to know each of their personalities. I am also an experienced photographer and would love to capture some frameable shots of your dog during a drop-in or walk! I have lived in San Diego for about 14 years now, so I am knowledgeable about all the best dog-walking trails/routes, especially in the Del Mar area! I can't wait to meet you and your pup :) I just graduated from UCLA and moved back home to San Diego, so I have a lot of newfound time on my hands! I am available throughout the day on weekdays and have no problems walking early in the morning or later at night. I recognize that all pets have different needs, wants, and personalities that warrant hyper-individualized care. I make specified folders for each dog I care for that list preferences, dos/dont's, and any other important information.

About: Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile, here’s a little about me. My family has had at least 1 dog and 1 cat in the house since I was 8 years old. My family currently has 2 dogs (yellow lab and black wire-haired dachshund), and 1 cat (Siberian). I used to be an equestrian, have watched many different animals (including guinea pigs), I’ve volunteered at dogs shelters, and recently cared for a 2 month old puppy. As you can expect, I am very comfortable with animals and attuned to their unpredictability and unique needs (potty training and feeding schedules, gentle socializing, chew-proofing the house, reading their moods and managing the energy of multiple animals at once. I’m a very sensitive person, so being around cats and dogs especially brings me joy and peace! They definitely sense that because whenever I visit my parents all my pets follow me around like tails! If I didn’t travel often, I would get a pet of my own. On a more personal note, I love being outdoors and finding any green space possible (especially in NYC), so your dogs will enjoy walks with me! I’m very attentive to garbage eating/smelling/stepping on walks, especially in NYC, so your dog will be safe with me! I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to watch your pet! I am based on Long Island but can easily come into the city for longer care. I’m in the New York area until July 15 and in NYC between 2-8 July, if you need someone to watch your dog over the 4th July weekend while you’re away! If boarding on Long Island, we have an unfenced yard and beach access, perfect if your dog likes swimming. Bonus is my 2 family dogs, so yours won’t be lonely!

It’s super evident that every walk is a fun and enriching experience for our little pup with Carina. We’re big fans 🥰🐾 Highly recommend!!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and have always had to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I have two puppers of my own—two Boxers who are full of energy and curiosity! My experience includes caring for puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior dogs at the end of their lives. I have administered medications and supplements, including pills and CBD, and am comfortable following specific care instructions. I also helped rescue a litter of puppies found on the side of the road, cared for them, and helped get them safely placed with a humane society. While I am not a professional dog trainer, I also have hands-on experience training my own dogs and working with dogs I have cared for. I am comfortable reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, potty training, routines, and positive behaviors with patience and consistency. I am currently home full-time and available for drop-ins or house sitting when needed! I am flexible and can often accept last-minute bookings. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them and making them as comfortable as possible. I am happy to follow their normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medications, training reinforcement, potty breaks, and plenty of attention! I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, whether it’s during walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or just giving them attention and love, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I have experience with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Rancho Santa Fe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Rancho Santa Fe on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,596 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.

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 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.
