About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening. My home has a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for safe, supervised play. I closely monitor interactions, follow your pet's routine, and can crate them if needed for comfort.
About: I have 6 plus years of experience when it comes to animals! I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾🤍 I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra playtime and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace and a little extra attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine closely and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I work full-time during the week, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available on weekends and can also care for pets on weekdays when I get off work. I love spending time with animals and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I also keep their space clean and make sure they get lots of love and companionship while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐾🤍

About: I've been working with animals for the past 5 Years! I started as a dog daycare attendant for a year where I learned how to read dog body language and behavior as well as how to handle emergency situations with dogs. I then became a full time pet sitter on my own and would watch all kinds of animals from household reptiles, small animals, cat, and of course dogs! After 1 year of this I switched to part time sitter to become a full time dog trainer! I trained for a year before becoming a manager at a pet hotel. I love my job to this day and still care for dogs and cats at my current job! I'm currently a stay at home mom for my babies so I am always home a ready to provide care! I usually (as weather permits of course) take a morning walk between 8-10am with my dog and my boarding friends, hang out around the house and backyard until our evening walk before bed around 8-10pm after the sun is down! I am constantly boarding dogs in my home so I do have extra crates if needed otherwise I only have 1 dog of my own who is a St. Bernard and is pretty lazy so he will be there to keep my boarding dogs company but also knows to nap if the other dogs need a break from playing. When I go to clients homes I always find a way to occupy my time with my clients and keep my attention on those animals!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always been the type of person who notices their little routines, quirks, and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, extra cuddles, or giving them a little space. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for like they matter. My schedule gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my week, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m available for drop ins, house sitting, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of check ins. I also don’t mind sending lots of photo updates so you can see how things are going while you’re away. I take pet care and being in someone else’s home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to feeding and medication routines, and pay attention to any changes in your pet’s behavior. I also like to know all the little details ahead of time, including hiding spots, escape-artist tendencies, favorite toys, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable.

I will give each person a custom rate based on these.

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).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,910 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 .

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.
