I can often accept last-minute requests. I am dependable and respectful, and will pay special attention to any specific directions regarding drop in visits. I will ensure the safety of your pet and home when I perform the visits.
“Sandra (Mimi) was wonderful! We needed someone to check in on our senior pup and take him out for potty relief during the day for several days. She took good care of our little guy and took her time with him, which is just what you need when you’ve got a senior dog with a heart condition. Her communication is excellent, from our meet and greet throughout the days we had her. She let me know each day when she was on her way. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. I got photos everyday too. We will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you, Mimi!!”
About: I am a nurse who wishes that she took care of animals too. I have always had animals in my life and truly enjoy taking care of them. I am familiar with taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. Looking forward to combining my love of animals and exercise. I am able to check on pets, pet sit, and walk. Pet care is a part of my life I am a fur mom to an older cat and German Shepherd puppy. I only work part time and am interested in working with animals professionally. I would ensure that they have plenty of water. Make sure that they have used the restroom before leaving. That the environment is safe for them before leaving. Also if they need to fed I can do that and follow directions for any special dietary needs. If they would like to play and like to be pet I would love to do that with them as well.
“Miranda was wonderful she came over the day before to meet with our pup bc he can be skiddish around new people. I would recommend her to anyone needing walks in the area.”

About: I grew up with a family dog at my parents’ home, which helped build a strong foundation of responsibility and love for animals. After moving away for college and work, I didn’t have a pet of my own. Two years ago, when I started my master’s program at Wharton, I began regularly caring for friends’ pets while they traveled. Since MBA programs often involve frequent travel, I’ve gained substantial hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in home settings. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and basic grooming, and I’m very mindful about following owners’ instructions closely. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and energy level, and I take the time to adjust my care style to meet each dog’s needs. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around pet care. I’m able to dedicate focused time to walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I prioritize pets I’m caring for in my daily routine. I’m especially reliable during weekdays and weekends when owners are traveling, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care. I take pet safety and trust very seriously and always follow the owner’s care instructions closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I’m attentive during walks, cautious around traffic and other animals, and mindful of feeding schedules and any special instructions. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment so pets feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had pets in my house since I was 13 so I’m very used to it. My family and friends always asked me to take them for a walk, feed them and play with them which I really love. I am a very active person so I’m more than happy to help you walking/running your dog anytime you need it. I’m currently working part time and I have weekends off so I’m very flexible to spend time with your pups. I am mostly available in the mornings but I have all this summer free for pet sitting:) I enjoy going for walks or even running, I can take your pets to the park, go for a walk or even play with them at your place :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Redwood City
Traci came highly recommended, and those recommendations did not let me down! She was quick to respond, kind, reliable, and took wonderful care of Bruno. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Traci to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog!
Kathleen walked our dog Benji, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. She gave him so much genuine attention and care throughout — you can really tell she loves animals. Kathleen is very communicative and sent us lots of photos so we always knew Benji was having fun. Benji always came back to us as the happiest dog, clearly worn out from a great time with her. We felt at ease knowing he was in her hands, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pet.
Nicole is fantastic! She is truly a dog whisperer. Enzo took to her right away and looked forward to his walks with Nicole each day during our trip. She also truly help with his behavior training during our trip. I am already reviewing our future needs and locking in those dates. Thank you Nicole!!
Huei is a delightful person, very upbeat, and she did a great job walking our beloved golden doodle person-in-a-dog suit Phoebe, who by the wonderful photos that Huei sent back from the walks, clearly was having a blast with her 30 walks. Huei was great about communicating when she would be over to take Phoebe for a walk and what was going on with Phoebe from the walk. We would highly recommend her, and would call on her again when needed, she's great!
This was our first time using Regina, and even though we weren’t able to meet beforehand, we felt surprisingly comfortable leaving our guy in her care! She was very responsive, sent updates and pictures (always helps put us ant ease!), and communicated well throughout. Rainier can sometimes be a puller and certainly over overexcitable at times— Regina seemed confident handling him, which we really appreciated. would definitely love to have her help again in future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Redwood City is $31 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $67 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 13,360 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Redwood City. 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 Redwood City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Redwood City after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Redwood City. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
