Pets are truly family to me—they’re welcome on the furniture as long as they’re potty trained and respectful. And of course, cuddles are always encouraged at bedtime!
About: Hi I'm Emily! Having spent my younger childhood growing up in the mountains, I developed an early appreciation for nature and absolute love for animals. My grandma and I used to watch animal planet together and one of our favorite shows was animal cops. Seeing the rescues and transformations inspired me to get involved in any way I could to make a positive impact for animals and people. I often house/pet/babysit and have worked as a camp counselor, teachers aid, and girl scout leader which has made me great at organizing chaos!

I have at least 10 years of experience of pet care and home sitting. I strive to make each visit special and fun by introducing play, exploring the greet outdoors, and attending to specific care needs while relieving any potential stress a pet may be experiencing.

I strive to provide the best care for every pet and home by taking special measures to ensure the safety of both. I request care instructions from all owners to accommodate every individual situation.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
Susan is the absolute best! We have trusted her with our cats and dogs for the past few years and she never disappoints! She is reliable and wonderful to work with! It is so nice having peace of mind when we are far from home. Thank you again Susan! We appreciate you so much!!!!
I am so grateful for Kristina! First... in a sea of bios claiming to love dogs, Kristina's is the only one with experience in the industry, making me comfortable with her knowledge in handling sensitive dogs. I needed a last minute sitter, and Kristina was able to accommodate. My sensitive pup even let her lay in bed with him! I appreciate Kristina's responsiveness, ability to accommodate, experience, and gentle soul! Thank you!
We just moved to the area and we left behind our wonderful rover in our home state, so we were nervous to try a new one here. We feel SO lucky to have found Candace and Tim! They have done a boarding for us and they also did a walk for us. They are amazing with our two pups and we will always be inquiring to book them whenever we need someone to care for them!
Anna is wonderful! She helped me out last minute with a walk for my golden retriever who had to wear a cone from a hot spot! Even though I didn’t get a chance to meet her in person, all communication was clear and thorough! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Anna again for her services. I just know my boy loved her!!
Anne is truly the most amazing dog sitter we could ever ask for! She’s incredibly kind, super responsive, and always flexible with our unpredictable schedule—which makes our lives so much easier. Not only is she reliable, but she is always sure to share a ton of photos and videos of Finn having the absolute BEST time. This gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, getting plenty of exercise and most importantly well loved. Anne goes above and beyond by working on trick training with him and even surprising him with new toys from time to time. And the cherry on top is that Finn gets playtime with her sweet dog Roxy, who Finn is completely obsessed with. Their little family helping us out has been so special. Thank you for all that you are Anne, Bryan and Roxy!
Greg was incredible. He was on time and even early everyday. He was so considerate and good with our dog. Provided him treats and lots of mileage and smell stops. Would highly recommend Greg to walk or watch your dog. He is a kind man that loves animals! We will for sure use him again!
Callon has been great with Harley. She is so excited when he arrives to take her on a walk and he is very intuitive with her energy level. She always comes back happy and well exercised. He's also excellent at communicating and punctual. You can tell he's an animal lover. Would highly recommend him as a dog walker!

The average cost for Dog Walking in San Luis Rey on Rover is $25.61 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 7,543 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across San Luis Rey. 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 Luis Rey. 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 Luis Rey.

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 Luis Rey. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
