About: I’ve fostered dogs, senior dogs, cats, and kittens, and I have a dog of my own who means the world to me. 🐾 I treat every pet like my own with lots of love, patience, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away ⭐ I recently graduated from college and am taking a gap year, so I have lots of free time and a pretty flexible schedule. I love having pets as part of my day and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, and I live close to a dog park for extra walks and adventures. I also have a friendly dog who loves having furry friends around. I always make sure each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level come first, so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me.

About: I’ve had pets as part of my family my entire life. Currently own 2 dogs and 1 cat…. They are great, give lots of joy, and keep me busy. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’d love to go on more walks and care for more cats and dogs. I have experience with many breeds and sizes. I don’t expect to board pets right now as we have a full household but I can walk and provide visits to your pets while you are out of town.

About: I have worked with dogs of all ages from newborn to elderly. I have 15+ years of experience working specifically with Dachshunds, terriers of various breeds, and chihuahuas. I also have lots of experience working with many other breeds as well. Some examples include Germans Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, Great Piramese, Havanese, Pomeranian, Lasa Aspa, and Husky. I work part time as a courier for UberEats. So, I am able to make my own schedule whatever it needs to look like for me to give 110% of my time to the pets that I'll be sitting. I'm available all-day Monday-Sunday 24/7. :) I will only be sitting pets at the clients home. I will take instruction on caring for the pet(s) very close to heart and follow all direction as best as I can. For me, I am not just looking after a dog or cat. I am looking after a family member.

Their purpose is to bring joy and love to those who welcome them and make them part of their family. My schedule is flexible from Monday to Sunday. At the moment I'm at home all week and willing to take care of and have fun with your furry. Plenty of places to go out for walks with our family and plenty of snuggles to receive from our kiddos. I live in a lovely home with a small but beautiful garden where pets can relax and enjoy fresh air. I’m located right in the heart of Riverside, a great area for daily walks and neighborhood strolls, and I love taking cute photos along the way. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your furry friend will receive my full attention, care, and love at all times.

About: Growing up in Panama, I have handled a lot of different animals. This past summer I had the opportunity to work at a vet clinic and get volunteer hours in Panama! This year at CBU, I have a pretty free schedule that fits perfectly with being able to care for pets, if that means for a morning walk, or afternoon care.

About: Hi, I’m Eve! As a professional dog bather at PetSmart and an experienced pet sitter for friends, my world revolves around keeping dogs safe, clean, and happy. Working daily in a high energy professional salon environment has given me advanced training that sets my pet care apart. It also has taught me how to read dogs body language. Whether your dog needs high-energy play or just a calming presence while you are away, I have the professional background, and deep love for animals to make them feel right at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same accountability and affection I show my friends' beloved dogs and my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I split my time between college classes and a part time job, but I keep a very consistent weekly schedule. I dedicate my mornings to routine check ins before my day starts, and my late afternoons and sometimes evenings are entirely open for walks and playtime . You can always count on me to be on time and communicative. When caring for your pet during drop ins and walks, safety and security are my top priorities. Before we head out, I always double check that harnesses and leashes are completely secure. During walks, I stay highly alert to our surroundings to avoid any encounters with unfamiliar dogs. Inside your home, I strictly follow your exact routines for feeding, fresh water, playtime, or administering medication. I also ensure your home is locked up and fully secure before I leave. You will always receive a detailed update and plenty of photos after every visit.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little, and I really love taking care of them—especially dogs. I’ve raised a few pets at home and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I enjoy going on walks, feeding them on time, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I try to treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’d be happy to care for your pet and make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but I go home during my lunch break to check on the pups—making sure they get a potty break, a short walk, or some playtime. After work, I have more time to give them attention, play, and care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and for pet care on weekdays after 4:30 PM. I have a fully fenced yard and a small Yorkie, Bella, who loves keeping your fur baby company and having a buddy to play with.

About: I cared for my first puppy when I was 7 years old, and ever since then I've been a friend to dogs. I especially love to play, run, chase, and walk with energetic pets. Of course, providing affection, attention, and treats are a given with me. I have a very flexible schedule right now, with no other jobs at the moment and plenty of time to travel and spend quality time with your little ones! Dogs love walking in their free time, and so do I. I am especially free during the day, perfect for typical work shifts when your puppies or kitties might otherwise be alone. I always follow pet care instructions to a tee, including what spaces they may safely hang out in, what they shouldn't eat or play with, and how they act in various conditions. I want them to be safw and comfortable, always! As if nothing has changed at all from their usual beloved home.

About: I already love your furbabies, we just haven't met yet! ❤️❤️❤️ Many people call me a "Dog Whisperer," and while I don’t claim the title, animals respond to my calm, intuitive presence. I bring emotional attunement, patience, and loving structure to every visit. Whether your baby is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I honor their unique personality. Pet sitting is more than a side gig; it’s a healing, heart-centered exchange. I offer sacred companion care that gives your pet peace and you peace of mind. I'm a Certified Self-Love Coach with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet’s care with presence and ease. I structure my day around the needs of the animals in my care. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or calm overnight stays, I make space for them to feel safe, seen, and loved. While sitting, I read, reflect, or study, but their comfort always comes first. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where their routines, scents, and surroundings bring them calm. I ask detailed questions ahead of time (walk schedule, feeding preferences, medication, etc.) and follow your instructions to the letter. My care style is clean, respectful, and rooted in trust. I adapt to each animal's rhythm and always check in if something feels off. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I give to your pet.

About: Hi! I’m Analise, a college student finishing up my last semester, which means I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I especially love working with high energy dogs, anxious dogs, and pets who need medication or extra care. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. As a full-time student with college classes three days a week and a part-time job, I’ve learned how to manage my time effectively. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I can fit pet care in between my other responsibilities. On my days off from college or work, I’m fully available for longer visits, walks, or extended care. On busier days, I still have time between classes or shifts for quick check-ins, feeding, or short walks. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I always make sure it fits smoothly into my weekly routine I’m very careful and always pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I make sure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow any specific instructions and routines closely, making sure the animal gets the right food, exercise, and attention. I’m also loving and playful, so pets not only feel looked after, they have fun too! I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: Hello 👋 I’m Brittany — a professional pet sitter and dog walker originally from New York with a huge love for animals. I have veterinary assistant training, dog training assistant experience, and I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters throughout my life. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up spending time on my grandparents’ horse farm in upstate New York, helping care for the horses and other animals. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to small animals, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. Dogs and horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a mom to a teenager and 5 fur babies of my own, I know pets are family. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule during the week. I’m only unavailable from 7:30–9:00 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM on weekdays for my daughter’s school drop-off and pick-up. I come prepared for every visit with my own utility belt stocked with all-natural treats and waste bags, plus my own leash, ice-cold water, and a travel water bowl. I also bring a tennis ball for playtime, a brush for pups who enjoy it, and paw balm when needed. 🐾 You’ll usually see me arrive for visits by e-bike 🚲, but I use my car if weather conditions call for it. I’m also comfortable caring for large, strong, and high-energy dogs.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter where I socialized puppies and cats. Animals have always been very comfortable around me and vice versa. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and breeds. I care very deeply for animals and would love to help you ensure your dogs are getting the exercise and attention they need. I graduated college with a major in veterinary technology at TJC, and currently work as a veterinary technician. I do have a full time job at a veterinary clinic with my days and hours varying. Typically I work 5 days a week with a max of 8 hours a day. Due to this I am unable to be with your pet at all times but would love to spend my free time with them! I make sure to stay in close proximity to the animal and keep a close eye on them while playing with toys to prevent any injury. I am very knowledge on what kinds of things are toxic to both cats and dogs and am able to pick up on signs of possible varying illnesses.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Riverside on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 per walk. 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 of October 2026, there are 6,351 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Riverside. 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 Riverside. 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 Riverside 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 Riverside. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
