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: Hi, I’m Eve! As a professional dog bather 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 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: For the past four years, I’ve been dedicated to walking and sitting dogs of all ages and temperaments. Friends and family trust me because of my experience in behavioral therapy, allowing me to work with anxious or high-energy dogs effectively. I have boundless energy and patience, ensuring your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a long, adventurous walk or gentle care, I’m here to provide a fun, safe, and enriching experience. I am currently working full time as a dog-walker/ sitter so I am very flexible. We can discuss what time and day you need me and I will plan ahead. I typically dog sit or dog walk at my clients' homes, and I make sure to follow their rules and guidelines when it comes to taking care of their pets.

La Sierra Acres, Riverside, CA, 92505

About: I've had dogs in my family since I was born and one cat for a time. I've had multiple large dogs and many small dogs. At home we currently have three dogs, one of which is about 18 years old. Since I was about 8, I began helping to feed, groom, and especially bath my dogs. Whenever my older brothers who live outside of the house needed someone to babysit their dog, I was always given the job. I had to care for one of their dogs, Shelby, a pitbull, very carefully to give her antibiotics when she got spayed as well as to clean her ears with a medicinal wash twice daily because she had mange at the same time. I also have experience volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter for two years where my job was to socialize and groom the kittens, cats, puppies, and grown dogs. I am currently enrolled in online classes, so I don't have a set schedule except I'm busy Tuesdays before 12pm and Thursdays before 1pm. Unfortunately, I won't be able to provide home services as I am currently living in a dorm in my college which does not allow pets.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Riverside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Riverside is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 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 6,304 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:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
