“Aubrey is a superstar!!! I needed assistance with my two German Shepherds and she arrived cheerful and ready to go each day! Our dogs were comfortable with her immediately and she kept my mischievous one in line with kindness and patience. She even helped me bring the garbage cans out and back in!! Aubrey is awesome!!”
About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
About: I’ve spent 24 years around animals, including dogs and cats of my own, so I know that trusting someone with your dog or your house key is a big deal. I don’t take it lightly. I’m the kind of sitter who wants to know your dog’s whole personality—their favorite route, the treat that instantly gets their attention, the weird way they ask for dinner, and the little routines that make them feel safe. Tell me everything. The more details, the better. Whether your pup needs a good long walk, help sticking to a routine, gentle senior care, or just company while you’re out, I’ll meet them where they are. I pay attention to body language, keep safety front and center, and send photos and updates so you’re never left guessing how they’re doing. At the end of the day, I want the same thing you do: a happy, relaxed dog and a sitter you feel good about booking again Busy workday or a trip coming up? Send me the dates and times you need help. We’ll go over your pet’s routine and confirm what fits before booking, so you have one less thing to sort out. I’m organized and flexible, and I can build visits around your pet’s schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine—whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening feedings, or weekend coverage. Before a booking, I like to confirm the exact routine so there are no surprises. I’ll be clear about my availability, arrive on time, and communicate promptly if anything changes. Leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable telling me every little detail, including the instructions you worry are “too much.” I’m happy to have them. I’ll stick to their routine, double-check doors and gates, keep your space tidy, and send photos and updates. If your pet needs a little time to warm up, we’ll take it at their pace. You’re always welcome to check in. In your home, I’ll follow your house rules, keep fresh water available, and closely follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions. I’m mindful of anything that could stress your pet—loud noises, unfamiliar people, other animals, or changes to their normal routine. For dogs, I use a secure leash and pay attention to their body language around other dogs, people, traffic, and unfamiliar situations. For cats, I let them set the pace: I won’t force interaction, and I’ll make sure their litter box, food, water, and favorite hiding spots are taken care of. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated, and reach out right away if I notice anything unusual.
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! I am a full time Explosives/Firearms detection K9 Handler. I work M-F, 0700-1500. My weekends are very flexible! I can usually work most clients and dogs into my full time schedule very easily. I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
About: Dog walking and dog sitting was my first ever job! I have dog walked and dog sat for my friends, my family, and worked for local dog walking company for a couple years—taking care and walking multiple dogs a week. I have also cat sat for many years and volunteered at an animal shelter and have lots of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats. I love my pets and would love to care of yours like they are my own! I’m currently working part time from home and have availability during the day for dog walks. I am also available on some weeks/weekends for dog and cat sitting! I have a fenced yard and a very walkable neighborhood for dogs. I can crate dogs and take dogs on walks. I also have had dogs in this home and currently have 1 friendly cat.
About: I love dogs and cats. Owned a dog (sick for many years), ASPCA volunteer in the past. Active and love to exercise. Happiest with a great animal by my side. I am a part time worker and I have a lot of time to spend quality time with your dear family member. I love to find what your pup likes to play with and do on walks. I do not pet-sit but I am concerned about safety. I will secure your entrances and exits, and follow the rules of traffic safety on walks.
“Venus is awesome, very reliable, kind and great with our senior dogs. They were able to help us when we were in a pinch and needed help with dog walking last minute and was great, will definitely book again.”
About: We love meeting new dogs and making them feel at home, taking them for walks and playing, or just hanging out on the couch together. We are happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. My spouse and I work remotely and and are able to devote time to give your pet potty breaks, walks, and tons of attention to fully spoil them. We are available for doggy daycare and overnights on weekends or an occasional long weekend stay. We have a fully enclosed backyard with plenty of shade and sun for play and potty breaks. We have a dog of our own who can keep yours company or who can easily be kept separate in my large home. We can provide as many photos and updates as you would like, and we are happy to ensure all pet rules and routines are followed. Walks are always at the appropriate speed and length for the breed and age of your dog.
About: I have had my baby leo(maltipoo) for 8 years. I love dogs and take great care of them. Dont worry about your fog if you are leaving him/ her with me. I can train them, take care of them and surely will send you pictures when you are away. I have emergency numbers of vet too in case your pet needs one. I work from home so I am at home. I love the fur babies around me and have got plenty of time to play with them. I have a fur baby of my own to give your baby company. I can crate your baby if you want me to. I also can take care of small babies and train then to do a few actions.
About: I have experience in dog sitting, walking and cat sitting for about 5 years. Since my Freshman year of high school, I have cared for many pets around my hometown of Danville, CA. Some pets included indoor cats, outdoor cats, and dogs up to 80lbs. I love making each visit specific to each pet's needs to give them the most caring and enjoyable experience! Given this experience, I feel confident that I can efficiently care for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I am currently attending Loyola Marymount University and studying Finance and Business Law. This semester, my availability consistently leaves Tuesday and Thursday evenings open, as well as Friday and Sunday mornings and days. I am also very flexible in scheduling times, so please feel free to reach out! Your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and care while with me. I’ll make sure they’re happy and comfortable and stick to their routine, whether it’s meals, walks, or playtime. I also understand that pets have their specific needs and routines, which I am very adaptable to learning and prioritizing. I also love updating the owners with pictures and messages!
About: I've always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely love being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015, mostly for my sister’s pup—daily walks, feeding, brushing, baths, the whole routine. I’ve also cared for my friends’ dogs and always seem to become instant buddies with every dog I meet. For shy or anxious pups, I’m patient and let them warm up at their own pace. I adjust to whatever each dog needs—some like playtime, some just want quiet company. I truly love dogs, and honestly, my lifelong mission is to pet every dog in the world and make them happy—because they deserve it. I work full-time, but my schedule’s pretty flexible. I’ve got time for walks, check-ins, or hanging out with your pup. I’m happy to work around what your dog needs and keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I follow any routines you set, keep things clean, and make sure they’re never left alone for too long. I treat every dog like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and respect for their space and personality. I know how important trust is, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease too.
“First time using Leilani’s walking services for our dog. We used her for 14days. We met prior to the service and I could tell my dog loved her instantly. She took the time to get to know my dog. She discovered a hotspot on our dog and she assisted with applying the medication as well. She sent pictures of our dog during their walks. I would definitely use Leilani again in the future.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in San Ramon is $25

We needed someone to stop by and walk our 8 month old pitty while we were away for the day, and we’re so glad we found Jessica! She’s super down to earth, professional, and you can immediately tell how much she loves animals. Jessica stopped by a couple of days beforehand for a meet and greet, which really helped our pup get comfortable with her and gave us a lot of peace of mind. Everything went smoothly on the day of the walk, and our girl was happy and well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable trusting Jessica with our pup and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and easy to work with. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
Aubrey is incredibly patient and takes the time to make sure Maru feels comfortable. He’s still a little hesitant about having his leash put on, but she’s never rushes him and lets him move at his own pace. He always comes home tired, content, and genuinely happy to see her again. I really appreciate the care and understanding she shows him.
Tiffany was fantastic with the morning dog walking she had provided over about 2 weeks while I was out of town. I had a place to watch over him but needed someone to get him out for his morning business and a bit of exercise. She responded on fairly short notice, was very communicative recapping the events of the walk and providing photos, and very timely and consistent with her walks. I will absolutely be reaching out to her for future dog walking needs.
Aviana arrived right on time and was very communicative throughout the entire process. This was my first time using the service, and it was extremely last minute, but she was still able to accommodate me and kept me updated in a timely manner, which I really appreciated. My dog was very excited to meet her and clearly enjoyed his 60-minute walk—he came back happy and tired, which says it all! I would definitely recommend Aviana and will absolutely be using her services again.
Sindhuri has been our rock when it comes to finding someone to walk my puppy, check in on him and feed him. She’s always been there! Most stressful of times when my pup was fixed and I had to leave him home for a few hours, it was her who made me feel at ease. Thank you for being there and making me feel my fur baby is in good hands!

The average cost of Dog Walking in San Ramon is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $52 per walk.

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 Ramon. 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 Ramon 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 Ramon. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
