Due to medical reasons, I'm unable to walk my highly energetic two-year-old Husky mix. Valerie has been coming three times a week to walk Artemis, and she's amazing! Artemis warmed up to her quickly and really looks forward to her visits now. She's always super excited to leave and worn out by the time they get back (at least as much as a Husky can be!). Valerie is always on time and highly communicative, so I never worry when Artemis is with her. I would recommend Valerie ten times over!

Andrew has been amazing! He’s so personable and reliable, and I have zero worries when he’s walking my dog. I’m definitely a very anxious dog mom, especially since my dog is 75 pounds and can pull hard on the leash, but Andrew is incredibly patient and handles him with no problem at all. Even when my dog decides to be a little stubborn and a jerk, Andrew is always calm, kind, and attentive. He truly puts me at ease and makes sure my dog is well taken care of. He’s also very flexible and accommodating, which I really appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found him!

Once again, a positive encounter with Duncan. This was a trial walk with our challenging boy, Rufus who Duncan has done several drop-in and overnight visits in the past. Will be scheduling more walking sessions with Duncan. 👍🏼

About: I want to be involved in dog walking and pet sitting because I have loved dogs my whole life. I grew up with a dog from the time I was five years old, and that dog became my best friend. Being around dogs makes me happy, calm, and full of joy. Because of that, I would love to help take care of other people’s dogs too. I understand that owning a pet can sometimes be stressful and time-consuming, and I want to be someone others can trust to give their dogs love, attention, and care when they need extra help. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am currently in college and have gaps between my classes with a lot of free time. Instead of wasting that time, I wanted to use it to do something I truly enjoy. Dog walking and pet sitting are a great fit for my schedule because they are flexible and easy to plan around my classes. I also come home often during the holidays, which gives me even more availability during those times. This makes me reliable and consistent when families need extra help with their pets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I take dogs on walks, play with them, clean up after them, and make sure they feel loved while their owner is away. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care and respect as my own.

About: My family has relied on me to to take care and watch over their dogs, whether it be playing with them, cooking for them, taking care of bath time, walks, or simply just someone to watch over them so they won't be alone. I care for my dogs like they are my own family, and I only would want to treat your precious furry friends and members of the family the same way. Im currently in between work, so im using this as a way to keep money coming in. My schedule is open 7 days week and I have a personal vehicle of my own. So if needed I can run errands and pick up any supplies your pets may need, and in case of emergency, you can count on me to bring your pet to a qualified veterinarian. Simply get with me to make the time frames you would want or need for the day of your choice. Am open to pet sitting for more than one day if needed so. And if your not comfortable with a sitter staying in your own home, im a perfectly capable to make constant check ups on your pets through the days your gone My dog is a rowdy and territorial Yorkie. But I love him all the same. A very playful dog who would bring you his toy for when he wanted playtime. My dog gets to have all the playtime he can have and enjoy long walks, while exploring new neighborhoods to mark. I give him foods he would need, along with his dry food that he has access to anytime of the day and I give him treats that are good for building up jaw strength and cleaning his teeth. While keeping his fur, and nails in check as well, once every two weeks. To ensure no grass or stickers get stuck in his hair during his walks. Overall my Yorkie, has loyalty and love for me, as I do for him. I take care of and pet sit my uncles dogs, one is a retriever border collie mix, and the other is a husky. Both dogs are females and have two completely different personalities, one has energy to play at all times of the day, while the other likes to have attention and belly rubs. I've taken care of these dogs ever since they were pups, and they have impressed on me and always love when I visit them. My uncle trust me to watch over his dogs even when gone for weeks at a time.

About: Growing up, I often took care of my grandmother’s six dogs, including one of my own. I also helped my aunt raise two puppies she rescued from the side of the road. I became skilled at making sure they were well-fed, clean, and properly cared for. I am a student-athlete so I am busy most of the time during the week at 5am-6:30pm, but I'm available all day during the weekends. When I take care of pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine to help the pets feel safe and happy. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and have time to play. I also keep the area clean and follow any special instructions, like giving medicine. I like to send updates and photos so the owner knows their pet is doing well.

About: Throughout high school, I would take care of my neighbors dogs, my brothers family dogs, and many dogs owned by friends of the family. This would include walks, feeding, baths if needed, etc. I now have my own 6 month old puppy and a 15 year old senior cat who I have been working with! It fits into my pet care routine because I have had my own pets throughout the last few years. So, I have been able to start figuring out a routine both daily and weekly I always walk them daily, make sure they are well fed, and always give them lots of love and attention throughout the day when I see them.

About: I've taken care of animals as long as I can remember! My love for animals came from living with my grandmother, who never went without at least a few cats & dogs in her house. I always give the babies the best treatment that they deserve. Although I have never had professional experience, I am the go-to pet sitter for all my friends and family, and I have two fur babies of my own! I'm open to all animals but I have the most experience with: - Cats of all ages - Small Dogs I am currently unemployed as I have just graduated from college. That said, I have plenty of free time and am willing to work around YOUR schedule. I have two cats of my own and spend pretty much all of my day playing with them, and I keep them on a strict feeding schedule. I will follow any rules that you may have for your own animal, and I promise to keep them on their routine while you're away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - San Marcos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in San Marcos on Rover is $16.65 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 4,396 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across San Marcos. 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 Marcos. 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 Marcos.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Marcos. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
