About: I am a lifelong dog lover. I’ve been lucky in life to have experience with many dogs from many different walks of life. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who require special diets. When you book with me, your dog gets my full, undivided attention and gentle care to keep them happy and stress-free while you are away. During a standard 30-minute visit, I provide: - Fresh food and clean water replenishment - a 12 minute walk and area cleanup - Interactive playtime with favorite toys or gentle brushing - Plenty of affection, head scratches, or quiet company - Detailed photo updates and text recaps sent after every single visit I am reliable, fully background-checked, and always happy to chat in the messages to set up a quick meet-and-greet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time for play and caring for your pets! I’m hoping to have new fur pals at least 3 times a week I currently have a dog that is very sweet but I would prefer to watch cats and dogs in owners home and go on walks around already familiar areas for the pets!
“Ivyonna is very personable and interacts with the dogs really well. She seems very passionate about animals, and I would be very happy to recommend her for others that would need a dog walker.”
About: Calm, Low-Dog Home with Personalized Care Hi I'm Nicole! I’m an experienced dog foster mom with 38+ years of pet care experience, specializing in dogs who need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. What makes our home different: -No dogs + no kids in the home Your dog gets undivided attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for anxious, reactive, or older dogs. -Low capacity = high care I only take up to 3 dogs at a time, so your dog isn’t lost in a crowd. Every dog gets the attention, love, and support they deserve. -Solo stays available If your dog doesn’t do well with others, I can accommodate solo bookings for a more comfortable experience. -Safe, secure space We have a fully enclosed 8-ft cinder block yard with a doggy door so dogs can go in and out freely (or we can support structured potty training if needed). -Experienced with all temperaments I’ve worked with dogs who have experienced trauma, fear, or abuse, and I meet every dog with patience and care. -Flexible, always-home care I work from home and run my own businesses, so your dog is rarely left alone and gets consistent supervision and companionship. Daily updates You’ll receive photos/videos every day so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and loved. Extra peace of mind I hold a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card (Arizona), meaning I’ve passed a rigorous background check for safety and trust. Both I and my partner work from home full time and have flexible schedules which allow us to prioritize individual needs of animals and their owners For doggy daycare we provide a large 10 ft cinder block fenced yard for dogs with 24/7 access to yard via doggy door. Pets food regimes/diets are provided according to owners requirements. Dogs are provided beds however are allowed on furniture and beds if owner permits. We maintain various dog toys, 5 minute access to a dog park and provide regular walks depending on individual dogs needs and energy levels. Our neighborhood maintains safe streets adequate for dog walking and we are trained in safe dog walking skills.
About: I grew up having all animals in my life. From my own house having turtles, birds, Guinea pigs,5 dogs and almost 15 cats!(no joke!) my aunt I’m very close with also had a small farm with lots of farm animals that I’ve helped take care of. Again I’m a super big animal lover and have no problem taking care of easy pets or difficult bigger pets like 100+ pound dogs. I also have many references that go back 8 years long I’m currently working part-time in the slower season of my job at U-Haul moving and storage. My work shifts are usually around six hours long 3-4 days a week so I have plenty of free time and availability. I also am able to take a lunch break if needed to go check on or feed your pets while at work! Currently, I am living in an apartment with my mom who is also an animal lover and helps me take care of any animals that I might have staying over but I usually do stick to smaller animals being brought into my home since I do have a cat already. I usually prefer to go to your house or possibly asleep at your house if you’re gone for the weekend so that way I’m able to give nonstop care and attention to the animal. I also am very easy-going and do not require much when staying at your home! As well, I have many references for taking care of animals for taking care of house houses plants and anything in between
About: Hi!! :) My name is Serena, I’m new on Rover and I’m very excited to meet some new furry faces! I’m the go to dog sitter for my best friend’s Husky & Shepard who is a tripod (3 legged king), so even though I’m new on the app I have a couple repeat clients! I used to volunteer at Pasado’s Safehaven in Washington, and my favorite thing was to bottle feed the cows! I’ve also fed & changed swan bedding on the swan committee, fostered a bob cat, squirrels, horses, and birds. For personal pets I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, parakeets, canaries, cockatiels, leopard geckos, anoles, hermit crabs, tarantulas, various fish and aquatic critters/plants. I’m HOME: Mondays,Tuesdays,Wednesdays,Thursdays. In OFFICE: Friday 7:30-4:30pm, Saturday 8am-5pm w/ 1 hour lunch breaks to check on your pet! I also have a pet cam I can talk to them, send you pics, and dispense treats :) I will make sure we do a meet and greet so we can discuss any specific needs/safety concerns you might have! I have a lot of space and working from home makes frequent checks as simple as looking over from my work desk. My apartment unit is also directly across from the complex dog park and a large grass area! I have one cat, but she’s anti social so she would be kept separate in another room to enjoy her peace and quiet
“Showed up earlier then promised walked the dogs and stayed with them for a little so they wouldn't be in their crate all day. Again thank you for caring for our pups. Definitely will use you again.”
“Kylel was wonderful with my baby!! He responded right away to my request, was on time for the meet and greet and all walks. He was so gentle with my dog. I will certainly book him again.”
About: I've been taking care of my dogs since 2014. I also helped others to look after their dogs as well. All my family members love pets. I’m working from home so the dogs will not stay in the crate during the day. We have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out and play. I’m WFH every day. I can walk the dogs in the morning, noon or evening. I can take them out every 2-4 hours if needed. I have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out often. I have a super friendly small dog (11 yr) and a 2.5 yr old border collie. They'll be happy to meet new friends. I do not put dogs/cats in the crate during the day unless requested by owners, instead I use a fence if needed.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community but I am not new to loving on the pups as I have committed myself to learning the best ways to adapt and give the best care for them. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them (which is SO easy for me to do). I would be honored to take them to a dog park where they can also interact with the other puppers while you’re away! While I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life, I do not have any dogs of my own at the moment. This means I am full of energy and love to give to you and yours! I currently work from home part time so I have lots of time and love to give! This is intentional as I would like to spend more of time around the doggos. I am mostly available M-F but can be available on the weekends as needed, spending time with your pup is something I look forward to! My apartment has a dog park for both small and big dogs, as well as a full park just down the street. I do not own a crate of my own at the moment but I am able to set up their home crate in my space if needed.
About: I have been dog/cat sitting for my family and friends for the past 11 years now. I have voluteered at local animal shelter in Farmington, NM walking all sorts of breeds mainly small dogs. I am very familiar with large dogs but now that I am a mom I would prefer to watch small/medium dogs. I am responsible, patient, and very loving caring that enjoys spending time with animals. I do have 3 children's that have grown up around dogs/cats since they were babies, they are very respectful and maintained on how to treat an animal. I am a Sahm who is home 24/7 so there will be someone who is with your fur babies. ❤️ I am home 24/7 through out the day, so there will be someone to watch your pup. I do go out to drop off my kids at school but that's less than 20mins. I do live in a safe and clean environment where your dog can feel at home and comfortable. You're little fur babies will be treated like family, their will be lots of walk through out the day depending on the weather.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Adult dogs can thrive with a feeding routine, fresh water, regular exercise, enough potty breaks, and good sleeping habits—and of course, quality time with their favorite human! I have a large fenced yard with lots of room to run, but can also easily crate your dog if needed. I provide consistent attention, respect your pet's boundaries, use preferred food and treats, and communicate openly with you about any concerns or special needs your pet may have.
About: I believe pets are like our children, and I’ll spoil them with love, attention, and care so they’re happy while you’re away. From playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC, I provide a safe, loving environment and keep them on their routine—plus plenty of updates so you have peace of mind. You can count on me to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I recently had to put my dog down and would love to have the opportunity to care for other dogs to help me heal. My schedule is very flexible. I am available weekdays, weekends and nights. Feel free to inquire any time! I provide loving, attentive care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, and rest, and make sure their environment stays safe and calm. I’m careful to remove any hazards and monitor their health closely, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I also send regular updates with photos or videos to keep you connected.
“London is so great with Ruby. She constantly goes above and beyond! I knew she would be fine when she told me she helped train her Cane Corsos. Ruby is always so excited to see her too. I would highly recommend London, thank you!”

Kari has been great with Mister! She is very attentive, pays close attention to detail, and follows all of my instructions really well. I also really appreciate all the pictures she sends during her visits; they give me peace of mind knowing Mister is doing well. She’s a sweetheart and I would definitely recommend her! 🐶❤️
While I was recovering from surgery, Kylie came by every morning to take my Milo on his walk because I couldn't. I was nervous about how he would do with a stranger, especially since he's blind, missing a leg, and 16 years old (still going strong though!); at that point they're so set in their ways and he needs to be handled carefully, and Kylie listened, learned, and respected everything I asked of her and Milo had a fantastic time! Every morning at 6am he was awake and alert and wagging his tail when he heard her coming which tells me everything I need to know about what an amazing job she did taking care of my baby. Honestly, today was the first day I was able to walk him and he seemed disappointed that it was me again lol. I will absolutely be booking Kylie again anytime I need help; could not recommend her more highly.
I booked Daniel to take my 18 month old pitbull Maggie for daily walks. We have finished our first week and everything went splendidly. We are working on desensitizing Maggie to normal every day. Sounds and Daniel has been a great help in understanding the mission and moving towards success, I have him booked on an ongoing basis. Maggie is becoming more comfortable with him and I feel we will ultimately reach our goal.
Michelle was fantastic! It was my big puppy’s first time alone, and she adapted the walking schedule to help him feel comfortable, playing with him first and quickly earning his trust. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in San Carlos on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,374 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across San Carlos. 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 San Carlos. 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 San Carlos.
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 San Carlos. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
