“Tonya is everything you could ever want in a temporary parent for your pet. She is kind, the dogs love her, and she does above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of. Could not recommend her services enough.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them is something I genuinely love!! I previously worked at an emergency and specialty hospital for animals where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and temperaments. That experience taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m comfortable around young, energetic, nervous, shy, senior, and high-maintenance dogs. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or anything that may indicate a pet isn’t feeling like themselves. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them the individual attention they’re used to. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re apart. I currently work a part time job at a restaurant in downtown Oceanside and my shifts are only up to 5 hours at a time. So I have a pretty flexible schedule that can be easy to work around! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they’re already familiar with. I’ll take the time to learn their normal feeding schedule, walk and potty routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship while making sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m also very attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, and I’ll keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel reassured while they’re away. I want your pets to feel like they’re spending time with someone they can trust, rather than simply being checked on while you’re gone!

“Kristina is 100% the best dog walker I’ve ever had! My dog LOVES her and he is always nice and tired after walking with her which I really appreciate. She is reliable, timely and I would use her every day if I could! You can definitely trust Kristina with your fur baby, she’s amazing.”

“Carmine has quickly gotten so comfortable with Makenna! He’s always excited to see her. She has been a great help to us as we work on introducing him to knew things and experiences”

“I fractured my foot so my walks were needed very last minute and Zana could not have been more accommodating. I was very comfortable with her and so was my dog. Definitely recommend her!!”

About: Hi, I’m an animal lover originally from Arizona, and I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years. If I could cuddle a tiger, I probably would! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including seniors, and I’m comfortable giving oral medications. I love going on walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and cuddles. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own! I also do professional grooming! I added a couple pictures of my work. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel loved and cared for. Communicating and update pictures throughout the day is key for trust. I like to send an update every 2-3 hours, whether it’s just a quick picture.

“Sarah is amazing! She’s been walking and pet sitting for me coming up on 5 years. She’s reliable and trustworthy. She literally has a key to my house and is like a second mom to my boys.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
Leslie was absolutely great. Our (high energy, needs an hour walk) dog absolutely loved her. He got excited for her to come, and came home worn out. She walked him five days in a row, and was on time and ready every day. Very responsive too. Will definitely be booking her again
We’ve had such a great experience! Our dog is always so excited for her walks, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We really appreciate the updates and photos after each walk, too! It’s such a relief having someone we completely trust with our pup. Highly recommend!
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!

Veronika did amazing job taking care of my two dogs, she was prompt and on time , very responsive, and dogs were very happy. I will be using Veronika for walking now all the time. She can also stay at my house next time I am out of town. I highly recommend Veronika’s services.

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 of Dog Walking in San Luis Rey is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 7,512 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 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 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 Luis Rey 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 Luis Rey. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
