About: I have taken care of my partners dogs, kind of. I did more of taking them out to go potty and letting them get some energy out. I have two dogs and a cat, they are mostly my parent’s pets. I have taken them on walks and make sure they have food and water, I made sure the cat had food and water. I am on summer break from university, so I have different time available but prefer from 11am-3pm more of mid mid-day. I would not mind an earlier time or a bit later. I can be flexible with my time. I make sure the leash and harness is on good. I make sure that they have some water when going out and when out with the pet, so they stay hydrated but making sure it’s not to much, I know some pets over drink then throw up. One of my partners dog does that, so I have to make sure it’s not to much. I will make sure they have the right amount depending on size. I will have a portable doggy water container and poop bags. I make sure to be on the side walk and nowhere near where a pet can get hurt, and avoid working areas like construction of course.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!

Jessica is a great dog walker! She’s always on time, sends me adorable photos of Penny, and puts her leash and collar back where they belong. I really appreciate that she also takes the time to play with our senior golden — it means a lot. Highly recommend!

Chrystina did an amazing job on her first solo walk with our dogs, especially with Lola, who can be a bit timid and nervous with new people. Her patience and dedication were truly impressive—she took the time to earn Lola’s trust and even found creative ways to get her comfortable. We really appreciate how attentive and caring she was, keeping us updated throughout and ensuring both dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you, Chrystina, for going above and beyond—we’re very grateful!

About: My I have been a cat and a dog owner before. It's been about three years since I've owned a pet for personal reasons. I'm very patient and kind, I would do my very best in caring for any pet I am to watch over no matter what. I live with my grandmother who has a dog herself, so when she's at work or goes out of town I watch over her dog for her. At the moment I have open availability. I'm looking into going to school for the fall semester. I'm in the process of figuring out what I want my career to be. Getting into dog sitting is going to help me determine if I want to work more with animals and make it apart of my career.

About: Hi! I'm a reliable and compassionate animal lover who truly understands that pets are family! I have cared for animals my whole life, and have been the choice of friends and family to take care of their dogs while they are away. I provide attentive, loving care for all pets as if they were my own. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I want to make sure your babies are safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work at a school and i’m currently on summer break, so I am free to help walk for care for your pets anytime of the day. I have a fenced yard and 4 small, friendly dogs that would be happy to keep your pets company. If need be, my dogs are fine with staying in our garage while your pet roams the yard or stays inside.

About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Growing up with a stepmom who is a veterinary technician, I gained early exposure to caring for animals with a wide range of needs, from healthy pets to those requiring medications, special diets, and extra attention due to medical conditions. I was raised in a home with at least four dogs and seven cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when an animal may need additional care or support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a slower pace, or requires a little extra care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible and responsible schedule. I am able to prioritize morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the needs of each pet. I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets receive attention throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I also plan my week around any bookings I accept so that I can fully commit my time and energy to each pet in my care. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure at all times. I treat each home with respect and care, as if it were my own. With my background growing up around animals and veterinary care, I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or health concerns and responding appropriately. I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations, and I always provide attentive supervision, affection, and structure so they feel secure while their owners are away.

About: I have owned animals of many kinds! From as small as a guinea pig to as big as a horse. Dogs have always been a main source of love and I have almost always had one as a part of my family for as long as I remember. I am patient and kind, and would appreciate the chance to help a family when possible! Pet care will be fitting into my daily life in between family matters. My children are in school from 815AM-5PM as long as nothing comes up or appointments have been made. Caring for pets is more natural than anything. As of now, my family and I care for a guinea pig and fish. We make sure the animals are fed and environments are clean. We are hands on with the guinea pig every day to make sure she has the interaction she needs to stay as healthy as she can.

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.

About: Hello, my name is Karina. I truly adore animals and would love to care for your pets. I treat every pet the same way I would want my own pet to be treated with love, patience, and attention. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away, so I always send regular updates to keep you informed on how your pet is doing. Your pet will never feel alone. My mom and sister are also animal lovers, and together we make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Cats stay indoors in our rooms in a calm, cozy space. Dogs are kept both inside and outside during the day, and we also provide walks. At night, dogs are kept indoors so I always know they are safe. I carefully follow all feeding instructions and any specific routines you provide. I also keep a clean, safe environment, including a well-maintained yard. I currently have one cat, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. If you have any questions or would like to meet, please reach out. I would love to get to know you and your pet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks and play with. When I’m not home my family is with them and also treats them with the same love. (No children in the home) I provide safety to your pets by keeping their litter box hygienic, providing a fenced yard, and monitoring them throughout the entire day. I treat your pets like how I’d like my pet to be treated.

About: I’ve loved caring for pets for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I was the primary caregiver for a family friend’s dog for over a year during COVID and have also looked after my uncle’s dog during multi-week stays. I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, park time, exercise, and socialization, along with feeding, pee pad changes, and a clean, happy home. I’ve also cared for about five cats over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I know how to keep cats happy, healthy, and comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and plenty of gentle attention. I love spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently attending hartnell college as a full time student and athlete. As every semester changes due to classes, my practice schedule is always consistent. I am unavailable from 12-3 everyday, other than that I am completely available depending on my class schedule! I am available on Saturday all day, Sunday I am available after 10am. When I care for pets in a clients home, I like to treat their space and the pets as if it’s my own. I follow each pets routine closely, I make sure feeding is on time, fresh water is provided, and giving a lot of affection. For dogs I make sure to take daily walks, visit parks or local areas for exercise and socialization if that’s what the dog feels comfortable with, and to make sure they get a good amount of stimulation and play time. For cats I maintain litter boxes, cozy and warm resting spots, and prioritize spending quality time playing or even just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I also keep the home clean and organized, tidy up any messes, and make sure the environment stays safe and comfortable for the pets. My goal is always to help pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Salinas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Salinas on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,214 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Salinas. 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 Salinas. 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 Salinas.

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 Salinas. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
