“Great communication and was great with my puppy. Took him out and gave him his food and made sure he was comfortable along the way! Would definitely have Cynthia walk my dog again in the future.”
About: I love animals of all kinds. I've owned and cared for cats, dogs, and birds for most of my life and have an understanding of their different needs and personalities. I currently have two 10-year-old rescued cats and am experienced with daily care routines, feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I have also had several dogs throughout my life, with experience in training, walking, and daily care. My niece is also a vet tech at Sage, so always a phone call away for advice. I have recently retired and have time to fill my days with keeping your fur babies company. I am available every day, with the exception of occasional travel and vacations. I have two 10-year-old kitties in my home, so care most likely would be best in your home. I am happy to follow your pet's routine throughout the days and nights.
“I could not have asked for a better Dog Walker! Kenny was so thoughtful about communicating and sending pictures. Incredibly reliable and so appreciative of his support and help. Highly recommend!”
“Jas is top notch of a dog walker and has set the standards pretty high. It’ll be challenging to find another dog walker of his caliber. More importantly, Chomsky enjoys the walks with him.”
“Criss is the best so thorough?She did more than I asked.She took so many pictures.My dog and cat were well taken care of. I didn't have any problems or worries. We are keeping Criss forever .”
“Patrycja is truly a one-in-a-million person. She is professional, kind, and has a genuine love for animals. I feel incredibly lucky to have met her, and my dog absolutely adores her. I highly recommend her for any of your animal needs — you would be lucky to have her caring for your pets.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emmy! She’s walked our dog Wiggles daily for several months now and has taken care of him (and our cat) while we have been out of town for several days. Emmy is so thoroughly capable that knowing that our dog is well cared for is one thing we never worry about while we’re away. Emmy has terrific sense for what animals want and need – she even manages to coax our elusive cat out of hiding when she visits. Emmy has a firm yet loving manner that our highly neurotic Cotton really responds to, and she’s taught us a few new tricks too about how to look after him! As an added bonus, her photography skills are excellent and it’s great fun to receive her wonderful photos each time she visits. Two thumbs (and all paws) up for Emmy!”

“Elizabeth did a fantastic job! She picked up and brought our dog back right on time, provided updates after the walk, and ensured our dog got plenty of exercise. Afterward, our dog was happily tired, which shows she did an excellent job.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
Sarahi was absolutely wonderful with our furry baby, King! I really appreciated how thoughtful and attentive she was. She even made little suggestions to help keep King comfortable, like opening the blinds so he could look out the window—something I had actually thought about doing but completely slipped my mind! I also really appreciated how well she communicated with me throughout her time with King. Her updates gave me peace of mind and made me feel so much more at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Sarahi and will absolutely book with her again!
Nicole is fantastic! She is truly a dog whisperer. Enzo took to her right away and looked forward to his walks with Nicole each day during our trip. She also truly help with his behavior training during our trip. I am already reviewing our future needs and locking in those dates. Thank you Nicole!!
Huei is a delightful person, very upbeat, and she did a great job walking our beloved golden doodle person-in-a-dog suit Phoebe, who by the wonderful photos that Huei sent back from the walks, clearly was having a blast with her 30 walks. Huei was great about communicating when she would be over to take Phoebe for a walk and what was going on with Phoebe from the walk. We would highly recommend her, and would call on her again when needed, she's great!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in San Carlos on Rover is $27.75 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 13,508 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.

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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
