“SoYoung is really great! She is very flexible with scheduling & communicate really well. Most importantly, she loves dogs! She is patient with my 2 doodles. Committed to take them on a good long walk & played fetch with them. My dogs came home tired & happy, which is the goal! At the end of the walk she always include pictures, which made me feel very at ease when I'm away. She's trustworthy! :)”

“Darnelle was amazing!! I had to leave for the weekend urgently and Darnelle kindly agreed to walk him at the last minute. She was always on point, and was patient with directions to enter the building. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog Benji was comfortable and walked him for ample time on both days! Even though my dog isn’t very friendly with new people, he warmed up to her quickly and went on walks without any hassle. Would definitely recommend her for all your doggy care needs! She is the best”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

About: Hello everyone! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages! I grew up with both large and small dogs and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and even my parents’ employers. Originally from Napa, I had the pleasure of caring for my friends’ five dogs, including two Bloodhounds, a Great Pyrenees, a Chihuahua, and a Boxer mix. I’m also a proud dog mom to Luna, my 13-year-old German Shepherd, who loves lounging on her bed and has been a wonderful foster mama to puppies I’ve fostered. I understand that every pet has their own needs and personality, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and personalized care so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing multiple walks a day, and making time for play and fun outings to the park. I have a small fenced backyard, but I love getting outside for walks and fresh air throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, just like they’re part of my own family! I do have a 1 year old and we practice safe, supervised interactions between children and pets. I’m a stay at home mama and moved to this area not too long ago so your pets will have someone with them all day. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care! Our days include regular walks, potty breaks, outdoor time, and playtime, with lots of opportunities for cuddles and relaxation in between. I’m happy to adjust our routine to your pet’s needs, whether they love staying active or prefer lounging and taking naps. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care! I have a small fenced backyard for fresh air and potty breaks, but we love getting outside as much as possible for walks, exploring, and enjoying the sunshine. I’m happy to tailor each pet’s routine to their individual needs, whether that means multiple walks a day, playtime, cuddles, or a cozy place to relax. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for just like my own. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾

About: Currently I’m a pet parent and I can’t adopt more pets since my cat doesn’t like company of other animals. But I have much more love to share so I would be happy to spend time with your pets. I’ve experience with dogs as well. We always had dogs in my parents house. In adult life I always help my friends with their dogs. Currently, I’m walking outside everyday after 5-6PM. I can walk your dog in that time. Also, I’ve full time job but I’m working from home so I can visit your cat during lunch time or in the evening. I can’t take other pets home since my cat will be uncomfortable. But I would be happy to visit your pets in your home when you away or walk your dogs.

Emily was fantastic with my spicy reactive 3 year old foster dog Lacey. Due to Lacey's tough history, I have to do slow introductions to new people, and Emily was very understanding and followed all of my instructions. Lacey quickly came to love her and now I feel fully confident leaving her, with all her quirks, with Emily.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Santa Clara

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Santa Clara is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $40 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 6,533 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Santa Clara. 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 Santa Clara. 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 Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
