About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long I can remember! Whether that be friends, family, or a stray I’ve always treated them as my own. My two pups are my everything and I understand the stress of leaving your pets with a stranger, so if you have any questions for me I’d be more than happy to answer! ❤️ I’m currently working part time normally during the weekends as a with shifts no longer than 8hrs so I’ll have plenty of time and wiggle room for your babies. Safety and trust is the most important thing and what I value most! If there is any special request or anything your furry friend needs I can do it!

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’ve always loved spending time with animals! I grew up with several dogs and cats and helped with potty training and teaching our dogs fun tricks. As an adult, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for many friends, family members, and neighbors. I’ve cared for puppies, energetic young dogs, and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable with all ages and personalities. I’m also comfortable with giving medicine or ear drops if needed. I love walking and running, so I’d be happy to give your pup some exercise and attention while you’re away! I have a special place in my heart for bunnies, too. I have a spoiled, free-roam 3-year-old bunny of my own. I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! 🤎 I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’ve been a stay at home mom for a little while and now my daughters are both in school. I’m available for morning, afternoon or evening drop ins or walks! If it’s an evening drop in, my daughters would love to come along with me occasionally and play with your pets as well, if that is something you’re comfortable with. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure pets are safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I’m respectful of the home, keep things clean and tidy, and always make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: Hi!! :) My name is Serena, I love animals with all my heart! I’m the go to dog sitter for my best friend’s Husky & Shepard who is a tripod (3 legged king). 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

About: I know how scary it is to entrust others with your pets, especially if you are like me and have an anxious/reactive pet. I volunteer with a local shelter, and they've taught me so much when it comes to minimizing stress in animals as much as possible. I will treat your pets like I treat my own, with a focus on comfort, reducing stress, and respecting boundaries in what your pet might find to be a new or scary situation. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so any time not spent with my own pets or volunteering at the animal shelter I can dedicate to caring for your pet! I have a fenced yard, dog crates, and even a dedicated "pet room" in my home. I also like to use the vertical space for my cats and give them lots of shelving and perches for them to climb and view the windows.

About: Hello! My name is Miranda and I live in Chandler, AZ. My soon to be husband and I specialize in caring for dachshunds and small dogs but we don’t discriminate as we love all animals! We currently have 2 dachshunds of our own and are well versed in proper dachshund care. We have ramps for getting on and off the couches and bed, always support the back when holding, and are accustomed to their loud barks! Our dog is an IVDD survivor so we know how to pay extra attention and care for your special babies. We welcome all dogs in our home and look forward to taking care of your baby! My fiancée and I work from home full time so we are always able to keep a close eye on your pup! We walk our dog twice a day and as need (only at night if it’s hot out). If it’s too hot we’ll play enrichment activities. We have a fully fenced yard with grass do makes potty and play time a breeze! We walk our dogs twice a day and as need. In our home, we separate dogs when feeding and watch to ensure animals eat and no one sneaks food to deter issues such as resource guarding. We believe in positive reinforcement, mental enrichment, and snuggles.

I currently WFH, so I am able to take pets out as often as needed to relieve themselves and provide plenty of play time and cuddles I live in a peaceful residential area, my home fenced in, and is smoke-free. I also do not have any pets, so those with anxious little ones are safe here.

About: I've had animals since before I could walk! I grew up caring for four dogs and four cats - Yes, it was full house! I know what it's like having to leave your favorite furry friend with a stranger, but I can assure you this is not a job for me, but truly a passion. I will love your animal as if they were my own and I can't wait to start! I have experience in training puppies to not only become house trained, but also do some super fun tricks - Like roll over or dance/spin. I work from home, so I am able to be here around the clock for your animals needs. If that means more potty breaks for the still-in-training pup, then so be it! My weekends are often open and I love getting to care for animals overnight when I have the chance. I talk to animals like they are people! Of course caring for your animal will depend on their needs and what you let me know about them.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - San Carlos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in San Carlos is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 6,286 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 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 , 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 San Carlos 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Carlos. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
