About: For over 13 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs! I have 3 dogs at home myself, a Havanese poodle and two German shepherds! My dogs are on the older side and aren’t able to go on walks as much so I wanted to join Rover. When I’m away from home and miss my dogs, also volunteer at the animal shelter to do doggie day out and bring shelter dogs for walks and a pup cup. I pay careful attention to body language for dogs to make them feel comfortable. I just graduated from UCI so I’ve been readjusting back at home. When I get the chance, I love going out and trying the next big thing! When I’m home, I love playing with my dogs and snuggling up with them because they’re so cute I know safety and trust is the utmost importance so I will be sure to communicate with you if issues were to arise. I make sure that the area is familiar, safe and enclosed before letting a dog off-leash and walks are always on-leash. I have trained multiple dogs to learn basic commands and signals with treats and positive reinforcements.

About: Hi! I'm Harper and I've always been in love with animals, especially dogs, since I was young. I enjoy making connections and friendships with them, and they make me so happy. I am a dog mommy of a sweet Shiba Inu, and he is my cute BFF. When your furry baby is with me, I will treat him or her like my own, making sure that he or she is feeling as happy and comfortable as possible. I am pretty good at adapting to all of the unique dog personalities, and I'm very patient and gentle towards them. I will play games, take him/her on nature walks, and snuggle him/her. We have a huge dog park within 5 minutes of walking distance so they will sure to have a lot of play-dates! :) Your dog's well-being and safety are my priority. I ask that you bring any toys, water & food bowl, leash and/or harness, and food and treats (if you wish). I currently live in a house with backyard in Hayward. Let me know if you have any requests, and I will easily accommodate to your needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions, and I hope to see you and your lovely dog soon ♡ I'm currently work from home, which means your dog will always have human companionship throughout the day. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends after 7 a.m. I care for your pet just like my own. I try to maintain a consistent schedule as instructed, and provide plenty of playtime with them in my fenced backyard. My furbaby is always happy to be your pup’s new best friend!

About: Hello! I’m your pet’s future best friend! I have a deep passion for animals of all kinds. Their loyalty, playful nature, and unique personalities are endlessly inspiring, and I’m excited to meet your pet and see what they’ll teach me! As a lifelong pet parent, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats. Currently, I’m sharing my home with two indoor cats: one of whom has mastered the fine art of fetching. With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’m happy to offer services including walks, playtime, feeding, and training assistance. I’ll treat your pet like family, and rest assured, their safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’m also flexible with my schedule, so I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m kind, reliable, and observant, which means I’m always attuned to your pet’s needs and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. If you’re looking for a professional yet warm sitter who’ll treat your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to reach out! NOTE: If your dog isn’t the best at making doggy friends or is a little picky about their pals, let’s save the booking for another time. Only socialized, friendly pups please! Thanks for understanding! I'm an early riser so my availability can be somewhat flexible on weekdays. Weekends as well depending on what services are required and how often. I can provide drop in visits in your home (feeding, playtime, medication, etc) and walking services depending on needs. I typically like to only care for one family at a time so they get the care and attention they need. Feel free to reach out to me at anytime for photos and updates. I know I always worry when leaving my pets so I will do everything I can so you won’t have to. I hold a current certification in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross.

My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away."

I value clear communication and planning to ensure every pet receives the attention, love, and quality care they deserve. I believe every pet deserves safe, loving and comfortable environment. I respects each pet's individuals needs, personality and routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize, cleanliness, supervision ans safety.

About: Experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes including very young puppies. Also experienced with other animals as well. I provide care simply because dogs are fun to be with! My care for a dog is to be done in a professionally manner following owners rules/procedures. I will provide care for your dog or any other pet at your home. I will take special request if needed. I will not disregard other work that might be needed when sitting from your home. I enjoy doing special activities that also involve special training such as fetching or doing special tricks that your pet can learn. I enjoy spending time with pets! I’m currently looking to be more active in the animal work force since in the future I plan to make it part of my career! When going to pet owners home I make sure that everything is secure and safe and avoid areas that may be a concern for the pet owner.

About: I've been caring for pets for over five years and have hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I have a dog and a rabbit of my own, so I understand the importance of providing consistent care, exercise, patience, and lots of love. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, making sure each one gets the attention, activity, and care they need. Whether it's going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work from home for half of the week, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also live near several parks, making it easy to enjoy fun and active walks, and I have a spacious, secure backyard where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs. Whether your pet needs exercise, enrichment, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I have the time and space to help them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or taking them on walks, I'm well prepared for every outing with essentials like poop bags, a secure leash, toys, treats, water, and allergy medication if needed. I also have knowledge of pet first aid, so I'm ready to respond calmly and appropriately if an unexpected situation arises. At home, pets have access to a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely play and explore under my supervision. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and a safe, enjoyable experience every time.

It’s clear that she genuinely cares about Benicio and treats him with so much love and patience. Most importantly, Benicio absolutely loves her! He gets so excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands when I’m not home. Zoey is trustworthy, professional, and goes above and beyond to make sure Benicio gets a great walk and plenty of attention.

Naomi was great with our dog, Lulu! I needed someone to walk Lulu while my husband was out of town, since I’m not great on my feet. She came twice a day as scheduled and is very pleasant! Lulu can be a little temperamental with new people, and she only refused to go a couple of times toward the end, which had everything to do with her missing my husband (her person, lol) and not Naomi. I will book with her again next year, if she’s available!

Charlie did an amazing job taking care of Nova! He was so encouraging and patient with her, helping her feel comfortable enough to go to the bathroom during their walk. He took her on a lovely, calm walk where she was able to relax, explore, and get some good exercise. By the time they got back, Nova was completely tired out in the best way—happy, settled, and ready to go right to sleep. You can tell Charlie really cares about the pets he looks after and makes sure they feel safe and well cared for. I would definitely trust him again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - San Lorenzo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in San Lorenzo is $32 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $48 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 13,976 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across San Lorenzo. 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 Lorenzo. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Lorenzo 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 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 Lorenzo. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
