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: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From snow days and trampoline adventures with my dog Bear to life with my two loyal Rhodesian Ridgebacks, animals have always been my happy place. These days, our sweet rescue Stella keeps life calm and cozy, and I still find that animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I’ve even taken obedience training classes because I genuinely love learning more about dog behavior and communication. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, gentle seniors, big dogs, little dogs, and yes — cats too (even if we can’t have them at home because of allergies). My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m home during summers and school breaks, including two weeks each in fall, winter, and spring. My work schedule when teaching allows me to stop by home during lunch to check in on pets and I’m home by 3:30 PM leaving the evening open for playtime and companionship. Our two boys (13 and 15) also love animals and are learning responsibility by helping care for pets alongside me — giving extra love, playtime, walks, and attention. As a family, we’re able to comfortably provide care in our home or stop by for feedings, walks, check-ins, and play visits throughout the day. During the school year, I’m available before 7:00 AM and after 3:30 PM. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! I love greeting them with excitement, giving them attention, playtime, cuddles, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks or runs, playing fetch, and honestly love when they get the zoomies and show their personalities. Safety is always a priority. In our home, pets are supervised and can be safely crated or given their own quiet room if needed for rest, comfort, or separation. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play and a dog door so pets can move in and out comfortably throughout the day. We do have a pool that is not fenced, so I make sure dogs are monitored outside and will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor access and supervision. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, exercised, and loved.
“I see why she is a star sitter on rover! Kelsei is literally heaven sent! I had an emergency and she was able to step in to watch my babies on short notice. She did above and beyond what was expected and I couldn't thank her enough! Will definitely book again, and you should too! She really cares and it shows!”

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.

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.

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: Loving, caring home with dogs of my own. I've been a part time pet sitter almost all my life and my passion is dogs but lover of all animals. I can take care of any breed or size dog, no restrictions. There are no children in my home and everyone here loves dogs so them being comfortable here will not be an issue. I always have plenty of different kinds of toys and treats for your specific dogs needs. I can even help teach your loved ones a trick or two, should you be so inclined. My care is top notch and hard to beat! Pet care seamlessly blends into my routine because my daytime job is highly flexible. This open schedule gives me total freedom to dedicate blocks of time to walking dogs, completing drop in visits or checking in on boarding fur babies. While I am starting school in a few weeks, my classes only take up 2.5 hours on two or three evenings per week. This minor commitment ensures I still have maximum availability during high demand daytime hours, plus plenty of completely free nights each week for attentive overnight house sitting! When caring for the animals in your home, my main focus is security, cleanliness, and minimizing separation anxiety. I follow your household rules precisely, ensure all doors and gates are securely locked, and collect your mail or water plants upon request. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a thoroughly scooped litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of one on one attention through focused playtime and comforting belly rubs!
“I am so grateful to have Stephenie available to come let my dog out 5 days a week while I am at work. It makes me feel reassured that even if I am getting off an hour or two late, that Pinky has at least had a potty break outside and has been checked on. I will continue rebooking with Stephenie.”

About: I love working with any type of animals. I am a sucker for large breed dogs! I help run a Cat rescue with my MIL , so most of my days revolve around pets.

Seriously though , I’ll be there when I say. “Impeccable timing”- ZaZu Having several pets of my own , I understand how important safety is around any and all animals. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.
“So grateful Ariana was able to walk Dexter! Ariana was super kind, professional and patient with Dexter’s leash pulling 🥹 he is in training now so hopefully he will get better and better at walks and we’ll be able to rebook Ariana soon!! Thank you SO Much! You’re amazing!”

“Ben was great with my dog, Veronica. She loved him and he took good care of her on the walks. I needed him at the last minute and he was very reliable and just a genuinely nice guy 😊. I’ll definitely use him again!”

“Sage is a phenomenal dog walker! He accommodated to all the request we have asked and also really cares for dogs. We have 3 older dogs and he takes really good care of them during their morning walks, ensuring that it stays on par with their normal morning routine. I would highly recommend Sage for anyone looking for a good dog walker!”


About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals all my life. Whether the spirit purrs, barks, has reptilian features, or a flexible mammal, they were all loved. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but I beg to differ with my senior pup Roxy. Im also familiar with training puppies as I’ve raised one in my younger days. My schedule is very flexible and open during the weekdays. Looking to help out other pet parents and provide peace of mind that their fur legged babe is happy in good company. My animals are free roam throughout the house and our backyard has plenty of play space. If the weather permits good weather, catch me outside playing with your pup or opting for a walk. Also willing to work on training if needed as requested.
“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: I have been taking/watching animals since I was very young. My home is a safe haven for all animals and I cherish each moment that I get with all of them I am open and available depending on my calendar schedule to watch/oversee each animal and make sure they are well taken care of and happy Fenced yard, gated, I am open and available depending on my calendar schedule to watch/oversee each animal and make sure they are well taken care of.
“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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
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!

The average cost for Dog Walking in San Carlos on Rover is $20 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 .

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.

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.
