About: Hello Texas! I am a La Vernia area Rover contractor. I can service La Vernia, New Berlin, Marion, Adkins, and Sutherland Springs area, and possibly into Seguin or McQueeney. Just ask! 😊 I have a ton of special needs dog and cat experience Just let me know what you need! I'm excited to be here. As you can see from my Iowa reviews I was well liked and had several repeat clients. I will go out of my way to accommodate. I have also had a several dozen clients in Texas since starting here. Rover doesn't always give you an accurate number if there are multiple visits, mulitple animals, cats only, holidays, etc. I will adjust it! *I also do cat care: rates will depend on the number of cats, the number of days, and if there is a dog also. I will give each person a custom rate based on these. House sitting for cats only isn't an option, I will give you a custom cat visit rate (let's face it, they don't need me there all night!) : ) You can be assured you will always get a very reasonable rate. ABOUT ME: A have a lifetime of pet care experience. I grew up with cats and dogs and have had both as an adult (so that is a lot of pet years. 174 in dog years, I think). I have had two different seniors with special needs (one is with me currently). I love them all! My pets are members of my family and I treat them as such. I will do the same for yours. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, special needs, med administration, etc. Kitty will get love too! If I am house sitting or doing drop in visits while you are away, I can also take care of trash/recycling day, plants, mail. Just ask! Part of the reason we moved was so I could rescue animals. So far, just in Texas, we have rescued 120 dogs, cats, cows, and goats. 30 of the dogs and cats have gone on to be adopted in the Pacific NW and are loving their new lives. 😍 I can accommodate preparing/feeding their special diets if you have them on one (raw food, homemade dog food, etc). Any other questions? Please just ask! Leaving your pets can be hard. My goal is to make that easier for you! I also have a farm sanctuary and we have rescued dogs, cats, cows, goats, hens, guinea pigs, and rabbits. My hours are flexible and animals are my whole life! I am not currently taking animals in my home as I am full with fosters! At your home, I will spend time playing and/or walking on visits depending on client wishes when visiting their home for check-ins or dog walking. I am able to handle all size dogs and multiple dogs. I am able to handle medication administration and various medical procedures. I love cats just as much as I love dogs!

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for and loved dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and needs, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring a little extra patience and support. I also have extensive personal experience caring for dogs with chronic and age-related medical needs. My own dogs have included dogs with diabetes, Addison’s disease, and senior dogs requiring specialized daily care. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to follow medication schedules, recognize changes in behavior or condition, and provide the extra attention medically complex and senior pets may need. My experience includes: • Monitoring and testing blood sugar • Administering insulin injections • Administering oral and other routine medications • Basic wound care and recovery support • Caring for dogs with Addison’s disease • Supporting senior dogs with mobility and age-related needs • Following detailed feeding, medication, and care schedules Beyond medical needs, I’m happy to provide all the things that make your dog feel comfortable and loved—walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of snuggles. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior sweetheart, or a dog who needs specialized medical attention, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for by someone who understands that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs. I work remotely from home, which means I can give your pets the attention they deserve — right when they need it most. I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening drop-ins, whether it’s a walk, a cuddle break, or making sure medications are given on schedule. With over 30 years of experience, including medical care for pets with special needs, I’m here to keep tails wagging and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I believe pets feel most secure in their own familiar surroundings. When I provide care in your home, I follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free for your furry family members. Safety: I double-check doors, gates, and food/medications to ensure your pets (and your home) stay safe. Trust: Your home is treated with the same respect I give my own. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Environment: I maintain your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and cuddle schedule — whether that’s a morning walk, a lunchtime play break, or evening snuggles.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and grew up with dogs my whole life. I just finished 1 year working at a doggy daycare and absolutely loved it! I have experience taking care of all ages of dogs from puppy’s to seniors! I just moved from Michigan to Texas so i’m still figuring out my schedule but I plan to work with dogs as a side job. I currently care for 2 adorable cats. My roommate and I feed them twice a day and play with them a ton! We actually just recently adopted the second one so we’re working on getting the cats used to eachother still and introducing them the right way!

About: Hello I’m Abi and I’ve had dogs for many years and two male cats currently for 3 years! I absolutely love animals and know how to read them very well so I have no problem handling a shy or naughty pet. I look heavily into cat and dog health and am currently in online schooling for veterinary assistants. I have online schooling that I can do anytime on my laptop so I will never need to go to the school itself. Other than that I am currently unemployed and just interested in pet sitting gigs! I’m in an apartment but am willing to drive to your home everyday or stay at your home and watch your pets! I am very respectful towards non smoker homes, always ask before doing anything, and will keep your home cleaner than you left it.
About: Love taking care of all animals! I have an English Bulldog that sleeps all day and loves to play! I have lots of toys to spend some quality playtime. I work from home so I am here all day to love on your animals. I love going on walks and playing with the animals. I have a fenced backyard that is very secure. I can also offer long or short walks if that is more preferable. Anything to make them happy.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for fur babies — they’re not just pets, they’re family. I take my own senior girl with me wherever I go, and I bring that same level of care and love to every pup I visit. From playful puppies to wise seniors, I have hands-on experience and a heart for each stage of their journey. Whether your dog needs a walk, company, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to help with kindness and reliability you can trust. As a busy realtor, wife, mom, great-grandmother, and proud senior boxer mom, my days are full — but there’s always room in my heart (and schedule) for the dogs I care for. Pet care isn’t just a side job; it’s a natural extension of the love I already give my own fur baby every day. Walks, visits, and companionship fit right into my routine — and I treat every pup like part of the family. When I visit your dog in their own home, I treat them like they’re part of my family — with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. I respect their routines and comfort, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’m there to give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve.
“Kelli always does such a good job with Murphy! I really appreciate that she takes her time and gives him a quality walk. Thank you Kelli for your continued attention and service!”

About: I am willing to learn from your animal baby, I've also taken care of puppies, my old dog had a whole litter of 6 and we had a home birth. I've also cared for multiple litters of kittens. I know basics of training, however I am not a dog trainer! Just a loving being, hoping to connect with you and your dog or cat to best help them while you do your thing 🩷🦋 thank you for the opportunity Personally, I work full time at a Montessori inspired school and go to school so weekdays are not usually open for me. However, on weekends, I have more availability to look out for your furr babies while also doing community outreach. Eventually, I would like to work from home or find more space for this work as I transition to different work. I am willing to do drop INS after 6pm on certain days and vacation time I care for my animals with lots of love, usually I try to take the time to be with them since working full time you don't always get to. They are my babies and I want them all to feel like I am there for them 🩷. I usually clean their litter boxes, feed and cuddle when I get home 🩷 as for other animals around me that have come and gone, I am grateful for the unconditional love they have shown me and I to them 🩷

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends for years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s long walks with an energetic pup, quiet cuddle sessions with a shy cat, or making sure every pet feels safe and loved in my home, I treat every animal like family. My goal is always to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their companions are happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Expect a warm, low-key environment where pets are treated like family. Dogs get daily walks, play sessions, and lots of affection; cats enjoy a peaceful home with enrichment and gentle attention. I keep a consistent routine so your pets feel secure, and I’m mindful of any special needs, feeding schedules, or medications. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and genuine care. My goal is for your pets to come home happy and for you to return feeling relaxed knowing they were in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my space they get cozy spots, walks (for dogs), and gentle attention; in your home I stick to their familiar routine and surroundings. I always prioritize their individual needs, keep things clean and calm, and send photo updates throughout the day so you have complete peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,881 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 your 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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
