“Adam was very thoughtful and communicative. He took care of our newly adopted dog. He is a natural with animals and went out of his way to make sure our new dog had extra long walks!”

About: My husband and I have had taken care of dogs throughout our lives, but just got one of our own this past year. Kylo is an 3 year old goldendoodle and we love him! He loves playing with friends so we would love to take care of your loved pup as well! Your dog will be a member of our family and promise to make sure they leave tired and happy. We both work from home so are always available to take care of your pet. They will get our full attention and love while you are away. We have a fenced in yard and a park near by where we take many walks. Always on leash. Kylo is very friendly and gets along with most all dogs. We prefer them to be kenneled at night but we can accommodate your needs.
About: We first got our Aussie in 2020 (Ollie) and then we adopted a mini Aussie (Ana) in 2023. 😍 I’m a big fan of the breed…well all dogs actually 🤪 I grew up with a sweet pug that had quite a few health issues. It gave me a lot of experience and knowledge of caring for dog with extra concerns as well. I am a stay at home mom with little boys so we are almost always home and wanting to hang out with new doggie friends! We have a fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play. Other dogs must be good with small children and dogs. We only except two dogs at a time (max), so rest assured we are not running a dog kennel and want to make sure your pup is getting the attention they deserve! Our Aussies are very protective of us so they can be very slow to warm up to other people - we usually our dogs in our room when your pup arrives so your dog has time to adjust.

About: I first fell in love with caring for animals with my family dog, who I cared for and loved throughout my childhood and early adulthood, including as a senior dog. I’ve lived with and loved cats as well. I’ve also volunteered at a local shelter with dogs, and I loved my time there. Currently, I dog and cat sit for friends and family, and I would absolutely love to provide the best care for your pet! Pet care works well with my schedule. I work a remote job, which allows me to work from home for majority of the day. This means I’ll be readily available to care for your pet throughout the day. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors, and am happy to take your pet (dog) with me! I understand that inviting someone into your home takes a lot of trust and communication. While caring for your pet in your home, I will always follow any instructions left for me, stay respectful and courteous, and communicate via photos, texts, or calls- whatever works for you!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 6+ years! I have 3+ years of veterinary background at Texas A&M University and additional vet pharmacy experience from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. I have experience administering medications including pilling and house-sitting! I am currently on remote rotation for my Pharm.D. program, so I am very flexible in my hours throughout the week! I am willing to stop by or stay to house-sit as well. I am in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit in your home, house-sit, or wherever you need it. I can also come in and let out the pets for potty breaks, or administer medications.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs outside of Rover and am currently building my profile here. I offer a true home-away-from-home experience—no kennels, no crates, just a safe, comfortable space where your dog becomes part of the family. Your pup will spend their days lounging, playing and getting plenty of attention, just like they would at home. We’re also an active household! My home backs right up to Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, so daily hikes and outdoor exploring are a big part of our routine. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers to relax, I tailor care to their personality and energy level. I keep my numbers limited so each dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise and love. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and having a great time. I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities whether they are energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. From daily walks and playtime to snuggles and belly rubs, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved and happy while their owners are away. I'll treat your pets like my own! Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to keep a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and downtime, depending on what your pet is used to. I focus on creating a calm, structured and safe environment so pets can settle in quickly and feel at home. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and I can crate only if needed. I’m very attentive to behavior and energy levels and I keep things low-stress by not overbooking. You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We can't say enough positive things about Kim. She's a trustworthy pet lover and an all around wonderful person. She and our pup adore each other and that gives us such great peace of mind when we need a helping hand. Thanks, Kim!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for five years now. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Some call me the dog whisperer. My wife and I work from home and love taking g pups on walks! Your dog will be well cared for and given the intentional attention it deserves. I am very careful when it comes to leashing a pet and making sure they feel safe in each environment we encounter. Playtime and energy expenditure are key!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and understanding I’ve developed for dogs through years of hands-on experience. I’ve been caring for dogs since 8th grade, starting with my first Shih Tzu and later raising a Cockapoo, then opening my heart to two wonderful rescue dogs—a Foxhound/Cattle Dog mix and a Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix. Caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make each dog feel safe, loved, and understood, whether they need gentle senior care, playful engagement, or consistent routines. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely look forward to. Each morning starts with a walk, followed by breakfast and some playtime like fetch to help burn energy and start the day happy. Later in the day, I take them out for another walk around the park for exercise and their second potty break, and we finish the evening with one last walk before bedtime. Nights always end with extra attention—belly rubs and goodnight kisses. I care for pets in my home by providing consistent routines, plenty of exercise, and attentive, gentle care. Each day includes regular walks, scheduled meals, and playtime to keep pets active and comfortable. I make sure they get multiple potty breaks throughout the day, along with quiet time in the evening so they can relax and settle in. I also pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and at home while they’re with me.
About: I am a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter who enjoys working with animals. I have experience providing basic pet care, including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure while their owners are away, and I aim to provide calm, consistent care you can rely on. Pet care is something I take seriously and fit into my schedule when I am available. I prioritize clear, reliable communication and make sure expectations and availability are always understood in advance. I follow instructions closely and provide attentive care for dogs and cats. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, while maintaining clear communication with owners.
About: I've had several types of animals throughout my whole life so I have plenty of experience. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, etc. I feel comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My schedule is currently fairly flexible. It's easy for me to adjust my routine to care for and spend time with your pet throughout the day. I'll make sure that your pet is comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I'm happy to do drop in visits, walks, or house sitting. I'll follow the instruction given to me and keep you updated with messages and photos.

I maintain a high level of responsibility and respect for your space. I will follow all provided instructions, secure doors and gates, and keep a close eye on your pet to ensure a worry-free experience for both you and your furry companion.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 12, building experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping routines consistent to help pets feel safe and relaxed. My background in healthcare has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and ability to stay calm in high-pressure situations, which translates directly into responsible pet care. I’m especially attentive to each animal’s unique needs, whether that means high-energy exercise, gentle care for shy pets, or extra patience with younger or older animals. I’m active, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so your pet will get both quality care and plenty of attention. I currently work part-time as an ED medical scribe, and my schedule can vary with occasional night shifts. Because of this, I am typically available 3–5 days per week, with flexibility depending on my work schedule. I can adjust my availability with notice to accommodate consistent care or recurring bookings. I provide attentive, responsible care in a calm and structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely and prioritize consistency to minimize stress while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of different energy levels and temperaments and am confident managing both active and relaxed pets. I can follow specific instructions closely, including crating if needed, and ensure pets are always supervised, safe, and well cared for.

About: Throughout highschool I dog sat for a family who was out of town a lot. I cared for 3 dogs, one of whom was older! I have a lot of experience in caring for dogs, from respecting their boundaries to specific dietary needs. I also own a dog and raised her from a puppy; she would love some furry friends 🐶. (Also I’m not JUST here for the cute dogs). I will be beginning my journey into getting my masters degree, so I will have a lot of free time to care for your lovely pets. I will have a part time job but I will work around those days of work:) In my clients home I make sure to try and keep the pets in a similar routine to what they are used to. I think this is important for the pet to be as comfortable as possible. I also make it a priority to play with them and take them outside (if this is something they like). This keeps them stimulated, and if they are anything like my Aussie dog, less anxious.
About: Hi! I’m Baylor, and I’d love to care for your pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels.

Pet care fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a completely open and flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, and I can adjust to your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care without any scheduling conflicts. I tailor my care to each pet and the service you choose, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, walks, and playtime, while also keeping your space clean and respected. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and never feel neglected while you’re away.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 5 years and have loved taking care of anybody’s dogs at any point I can! I have loved dogs since I knew how to walk and love meeting all different kinds of puppies!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Santa Clara on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Santa Clara.

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
- 83% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
