About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life! Growing up, my family had three Shih-Poos, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a Cavapoo of my own, which has given me plenty of hands on experience with puppy care, training, walks, playtime, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply a friendly check in while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care! I’m primarily available on weekends and have the most flexibility for walks and drop ins throughout the day. I work in office during the week, but can be available for evening and nighttime walks on weekdays when needed. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pup gets the time, attention, and exercise they need! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pup safe and secure during walks, and provide pictures and updates so there’s no need to worry on how your pup is doing!
“Michelle was great!! She walked, fed and played with my dog Penelope. She is very responsive and has excellent communicated. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Penelope! I will definitely be booking again!!”
“Vi always takes such good care of my boy! It's so hard to leave my dog behind when I go on trips, but I trust Vi 100% knowing that she's giving him lots of love while I'm gone. Book her, you won't regret it.”
About: Hi, my name is Candace and I have been a member of Rover.com starting March 21, 2012 from Dog Hosting to my current position as Dog Walker. As a recent college graduate with experience as a home care aide, I am eager to use my skills to provide dedicated pet care, ensuring your furry companion receives the attention and care they deserve while you maintain a balanced lifestyle, and I am available on weekends and holidays to integrate into your daily or weekly routine. My belief is dogs are family and I will treat your dog similarly to how I treat my own dog who is the apple of my eye.
“Chad has GREAT energy, he is kind, respectful and prompt! Our dog immediately connected to Chad and he made her feel comfortable and seen. We feel like we are in the very best of care with Chad!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 and have grown up with 2 of my own. I am very patient and can provide a safe environment for your furry loved one. While I do work a full time role, my schedule is fairly flexible and is hybrid, only requiring certain mornings in office. Weekends are preferred for longer stays. My apartment complex is gated, fully fenced with grass and in a safe area in the Newport Heights area. Dogs are able to roam as they please while inside my apartment and are welcome to my furniture.
About: I’ve owned Great Danes :) I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I’ve trained a few dogs using a Gentle Leader. I always walk a dog on my left (dogs innately want to be in the Alpha position, which is the front and right of a dog pack—and so I walk them on my left so they understand that I’m in the alpha position) This is my full-time job. Unless I’m scheduled to walk a pup (or have a dr appointment), I’ll be with your pets in home. I talk to them and love to snuggle with them (if they appreciate the attention and affection). I’ll drive them to grooming or vet appointments. When I’m with a pet/s —they are my priority. Their care is what is important. I want them to be happy and I want their owners to not have to worry about their “fur babies” while they are away from them.
About: As a certified energy healer of people and pets (especially dogs and cats), I deeply connect with them and feel and understand their love and empathy. I truly believe that they are angels and therapists and I love to spend time with them. I look forward to receiving your trust to love and care for them. I have a flexible schedule and can work around the time that I am caring for my family and pets etc. during my available hours. It depends on which service is requested while always strictly adhering to Rover policies as well as the client’s needs. Will send regular updates and photos.
“Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running. Even let me know my dog might have an oncoming upset stomach (which he did) So my BF was prepared and laid out pads over the carpet. Saved me the headache of having to hire a cleaner or order a rug doctor. Will definitely keep Jared on the list of trusted walkers.”
About: I love all animals sooo much, but especially cats. ❤️ I have a calming demeanor that animals are attracted to. Especially when I call there name or names they come right to me I currently am working with horses during the week and would like to add a little pet sitting to my weekends. I enjoy walking dogs or playing with cats. The most important thing is following the owner’s instructions. I understated all pets are different and have different needs. I am reliable and trustworthy.
About: As a dog mom myself to two dachshund I know stress of finding a reliable sitter! I have cared for animals my whole life; from reactive shelter dogs to senior dogs with disabilities. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and want to make your pup feel at home :) I work most mornings but when I am not home my boyfriend will be home to watch your pet! I also am home all weekends My home is fully open to your pet! I have two mini Dachshunds that is spoiled and this home is basically theirs. All dogs are welcome
About: I've had dogs my whole life; from a Chihuahua to a German Shepard! Last summer I lost my 17 year old baby and I'm not ready to get another dog yet but I have the time and knowledge to watch yours! I volunteer at an animal shelter every week and sometimes I foster. I love going on long walks multiple times a day so it would be a bonus to bring your pup along! I have experience with senior dogs and medicine. I work 4 days a week and I make my own schedule so I can easily do a midday walk even if I'm working that day. If I'm not out walking or working I'm usually just at home reading and would love to have a furry friend next to me. I work Wednesday through Saturday as a hairdresser, I make my own schedule so I can easily schedule mid day walks. Most mornings I walk for 1-2 hours already so I'd love to bring a pup along. After work, I just stay in and read usually so I'd be a great companion. I'm a great house sitter, I'm very chill and clean and respectful. I can take your dogs on walks and also play with them in the houses and truly love them like they are my own.
About: Colin: My love for animals began as a child and flourished into what it is today. Ever since I was younger, I have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and various other pets. One day in high school, my parents brought home a beautiful wheaten terrier who quickly became my best friend as I nurtured and trained her. That day forward, friends, families, and colleagues have entrusted me with looking after their wonderful furry friends. Bonnie: I absolutely adore animals! I wish I could be a Disney Princess so I could be surrounded by them all day long! I've lived with dogs, birds, and fish my entire life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I strongly believe that our furry friends need our unconditional love, respect, and care. That is the mantra of how I have nourished and nurtured all of my fur babies their entire lives! I work from home and have a lot of time outside assignments to give your pets my full attention, and will be able to make sure they get daily exercise. I typically go for extensive walks about 1-4 times daily. I have a pet-friendly home filled with many toys, food and treats, grooming supplies, first-aid tools, beds, and crates. Additionally, I am located between two parks and am within walking distance of the Back Bay Trail.
“Chloe is everything you hope for in a dog walker. She’s caring, punctual, and truly makes the most of every minute based on your dog’s energy level. Our six-month-old Siberian husky has endless energy, and Chloe matches it with real engagement — not a distracted stroll. I’ve seen other walkers glued to their phones; Chloe is the opposite: fully present, attentive, and genuinely invested. Your pup is in good hands.”
About: I have a wide range of experience helping with pet sitting needs. I started helping out local neighbors while they were out of town and have been responsible for walks, feeding and staying overnight at times. I’ve owned dogs all my life and have experience taking care of my own as well :) I’m currently working part time so looking to help with your pup needs to fill a second job! Weekdays and weekends are typically flexible, especially in the evenings. I like to stay active so I plan to do the same when I take care of your pup! I love going on walks and also have a backyard at my place for plenty of room.
About: After losing my beloved fur baby of 13.5 years, Jax, to a massive tumor, I decided to leave Corporate America and embark on a soul-searching journey through South America. Along the way, I connected with so many wonderful dogs who filled my heart with love and comfort. Now that I’m back home, I’m focusing on writing a book about my journey and enjoying the flexibility in my schedule. Though I’m not ready for another dog of my own just yet, I would love to be an "auntie" to yours. Friends always joked that I treated Jax better than most people treat their children—we were inseparable! We’d go on outdoor adventures, especially to the beach, which was our happy place. During the last year of his life, I cooked him healthy meals and found natural supplements to help him through his battle. I’d love to care for your pup while you’re off on your own adventures, either in your home or mine. I have a passion for yoga, self-care, travel, live music, good food, and sunsets—so your fur baby will be in good company on our little adventures. I'm super flexible with my schedule, so your pup can join me on walks in the Back Bay or the Beach—two of my favorite spots! If they prefer some quiet time, they can hang out with me while I’m writing my book, or we can just snuggle on the couch and relax together. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy downtime, I’m happy to give your fur baby the care and love they need. To ensure your pup’s comfort and safety, it’s important to know about their temperament and preferences. Understanding what they enjoy, their routine, and any specific needs they might have helps me provide the best care possible. While I may prefer to host them at my place, I’m open to staying at your home if it feels right for everyone. A meet-and-greet beforehand is ideal to ensure there’s compatibility and comfort for all parties involved before committing to a stay.
“Mia was awesome! I went with them and asked to go to a public place b/c Bima isn’t great that way. Mia was calm cool and in control! I saw another side of my dog which had everything to do with Mia and her comfort around a reactive dog. Thank you. I highly recommend Mia”

Mark was fantastic. Super responsive, always on top of communications and you can really tell his connection and love for your pets. From start to finish it was a joy to have Mark as Bailey’s walking companion for the week and we’d happily request for his services again.
Miranda was very sweet and gentle with my timid pup. She took time to introduce herself to her, allowed Belka to get comfortable with her at her own pace, and made sure she had received a thorough understanding of her specific needs and quirks before taking my Belka as her client. Thank you for taking care such good care of her!!
Mia is an amazing dog walker, she has so much patience and understands dogs. My dog Atlas has A LOT of energy and can sometimes be too much to handle, but Mia knows how to match his energy and has so much patience for him. She was also flexible if I needed to change plans and communicative. I have recommended Mia to my coworkers and would recommend her to anyone!
Ashley has been wonderful with Brandy! She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I really appreciate the detailed notes and photo updates after every walk. It’s so reassuring to see how Brandy did and know he’s in such great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!
Sarina clearly communicated with us and got our two large dogs the exercise they needed while we were out of the house. We feel she is trustworthy and did not have any concerns or issues. Our dogs seemed happy when we got home and we appreciated the photos and updates from their walk adventures.
thank you Garrett! Walked my dogs multiple times in a pinch while i was away for a holiday weekend. He was on time, walked them for the full 30min, and shared photos from each walk. The dogs definitely needed it and he handled the leash reactive dog (to other dogs, men, bikes, etc) well. Thank you again!
John has been very communicative and thorough as our regular dog walker this summer. He is prompt and timely. Our doggo is a special boy with certain needs for medical conditions. John has gone the extra mile with making sure he is safe and comfortable after walks!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Ana Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
