Amanda brought the boys on their walk daily while we were out. She sent pictures and was told by our homesitter that the dogs were calm and tired.

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 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.

About: I’ve cared for others pets for almost 10 years including dogs, cats, chickens, and fish. Experienced with young and senior animals, and administering oral and optic medications. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight care if needed. I do occasionally care for other pets, but I’m very mindful with my scheduling to make sure every animal gets the time, care, and routine they deserve. I always prioritize being reliable, communicative, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that’s feedings, walks, playtime, or medications—because I know how important consistency is for them. In your home, I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything stays secure (doors, gates, etc.) so your pet is always safe. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or just want extra cuddles. I’m also experienced with administering oral and eye medications if needed. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention. 🐾

About: I have experience caring for my family’s and other dogs and understand the daily responsibility that comes with keeping pets healthy, safe, and happy. Through caring for them, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience and attention and will care for your pet the same way I care for my own. I have a golden-doodle at home that I have cared for since she was a puppy, so I have plenty of experience with puppies and super young dogs. I am available all day to meet the needs of your pet's schedule. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I’m used to feeding, walking, exercising, and spending quality time with dogs every day. Because I care for my own pets, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule and providing attention throughout the day. Because of this, adding pet sitting and dog walking feels like a natural extension of my routine, and I’m committed to providing reliable care and attention to every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care requirements. I will make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I also respect the client’s home, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates (love sending pictures of your pets) so owners can feel confident that their pets are being well cared for.

About: I will care for your puppy with a lot of love and respect, and I can follow your step-by-step instructions on how to care for your furry family member. I am loving, caring, fun, and very hygienic. I also offer grooming services with relaxing pet massages. I am confident that if you trust me with your furry, they will want to come back and be part of our home and daily activities. I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, during which I have learned to truly love them. I believe that pets are guardians of the human heart. 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: 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’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young, from tiny lap dogs to large working breeds. I have experience with energetic puppies who need training, structure, and extra playtime, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle walks, and special care. Growing up, I also cared for chickens and birds, which taught me to be attentive and responsible with all animals. Now that I have a place of my own, I miss having dogs around and love being a helping hand to pet parents who want their pups to feel safe, happy, and l. I’m transitioning from working outside the home to being home full-time, which means your pets will have my full attention throughout the day. We love going on runs in the mornings and afternoons, so if your pet enjoys walks or runs, they’ll fit right into our routine. In the evenings, we wind down with cuddle time, making sure your pets feel both active and loved. My goal is to give them a balance of exercise, play, and comfort every day. Our home is truly pet-friendly with a large backyard for playtime and fresh air, as well as a secure dog cage in the yard if needed. We create a safe, welcoming space where every pet feels like part of the family. Whether it’s plenty of outdoor activity, following your pet’s routine, or cozy cuddle sessions at night, I make sure each pet feels cared for, happy, and safe while with us.

About: I have worked in a pet food and supply store for two years where I learned a lot about how to properly take care of dogs, and how to train puppies. I have also had two dogs for about ten years now. I do part time work, but my hours there are short and flexible. I am available all other times including evenings and weekends for walks, and to check in on dogs. For houses sitting services I am available all week. I live by many parks for the dogs to play in, and I would be happy to take them to dog beaches or dog parks. I am unable to bring dogs inside my home right now as I’m living with someone who is extremely allergic, but still want to fill my heart with the joys of dogs.

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: I love many animals, especially dogs. Growing up I raised many litters of puppies and have always been around dogs. A several years ago my senior dogs passed away. And it took until recently for me to get another dog. Since I’ve taken care of family dogs and realized that this is something I would really like to do with my spare time, and I’d appreciate it if you would let me watch your fur family member. While taking care of your dog I will treat them like them they were my own and make sure they are well-tended. I like to go on runs and hikes so if you have dogs that need that extra exercise I can provide all the exercise they need. Your buddy is my buddy. I am fully insured as a pet sitter and certified in dog and cat CPR and First Aid. Although I work full time from home but my weekends tend to be very free, so I have spare time if you work weekends or get off of work late. As I cannot pet sit at my home, I will be sure to secure all doors and fences at your residence. Please let me know of any specifics for your pet.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Riverside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Riverside on Rover is $22.2 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 6,344 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 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 Riverside.

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 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 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.
