Alexis was awesome and very responsive as I contacted her the day before. She took great pictures of Mika and will ask for her. This is my first time using Rover and overall experience was great. Will be using her in the future again!

My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every animal I meet. I've volunteered and worked at dog shelters and animal sanctuaries, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals; not just dogs and cats but also rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and sheep. I'm comfortable with all types of pets, from mischievous puppies and large breeds to reactive or anxious animals. I’m experienced in administering medication and following detailed care routines. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or just a steady presence while you're away, I’m here to help. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy day - it is my day. As a professional pet sitter, your pet’s needs come first on my schedule. My flexible hours mean they get consistent, focused attention, love, and care from morning to night. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. I’ll follow their routine, provide lots of attention, and take your dog on their favorite walk or outing. I will keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away, even if you’re only gone for a day or half day.

About: Hi there! I’ve cared for animals of all ages in households with multiple cats and dogs, also including exotic pets. I grew up with a pet husky and miniature poodle, and have experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work in the morning/ early afternoon as a Barista ~20 hours a week. I am generally free early morning (before 8am), and afternoon-nighttime. I am off ~3 days a week (usually between Monday-Thursday) during which I can give extra time and attention to pet care. I have years of experience caring for and walking all kinds of dogs and am very attentive to the emotions and needs of each animal.

About: I am a dog-mom who loves caring for pets like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking to their normal routine. I also have experience with senior dogs and can give supplements or medications when needed. Additionally, I have experience with puppies too since I raised my fur baby since she was only 8 weeks old. I work part time, so I have several days off during the week to focus on pet care. I enjoy making animals part of my daily routine and giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Safety and comfort are important to me. I live in a condo with a balcony, so pets get regular supervised walks since there’s no yard. I do have a baby at home, so I’m very mindful about keeping the environment gentle, clean, and well supervised. In a client’s home, I follow your routine and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. From feeding my extended family’s pet to walking dogs and staying over night as an adult. Pet care is always a part of my daily routine. I have 2 indoor cats and 2 stray cats that come everyday to eat and lay around. I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.

About: For the past 14 years, my world revolved around my dog, Zuri. She recently passed away, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog into my life just yet, I realized how much I miss spending time with them. Caring for dogs has never felt like work to me. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and deeply attuned to animals. I tend to notice the little things; when a dog needs a slower pace, extra reassurance, more water, a sniff break, or simply someone calm to help them feel safe. Zuri taught me that every walk is the highlight of a dog’s day, not just another task to check off a list. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll care for them with the same love, presence, and respect I gave my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely loved while we’re together. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications when needed, and understanding that every dog has their own personality, pace, and emotional needs. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Walking has been an important part of my own life for years, and after losing my beloved dog of 14 years a few months ago, spending time with dogs has become something that brings me joy and healing. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision because I know what it’s feels like to love a dog like family. I always prioritize safety by following your dog’s routine, using secure leash handling, paying close attention to their body language, and adapting to their individual personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

Reviewing Loren for the 10 days she cared for our 2 dogs and 1 cat. Loren reached out after we first contacted Rover with a challenging 10-day assignment (our regular pet care fell through last minute). She contacted another Rover walker to cover shifts that she couldn't. She stayed in contact with us and was available while we were gone. Loren excelled at taking care of our pets, and let us relax while away. She followed instructions, and took incentive to notify us about any concerns with our pets or alarm system Thanks, Loren! —Kelly and Ted

About: I'm very accustomed to all kinds of dogs! From pups to elderly dogs, small to large I'm the right guy for the job. I've raised all 3 of my dogs from puppies along with helping friends with theirs. I have tons of experience in cleaning and keeping them busy so I am more then happy to help with watching pups! I also have experience with elderly dogs that require medical treatment, as long as I get a detailed explanation on the steps to help I'll be able to follow them perfectly. I also live with very large dogs so I have all the experience with how to handle them no problem. I'm currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to look over your pets! I am very willing to work weekends, weekdays, and holidays. I have 2 very friendly dogs while my third is pretty territorial so while I can make sure your dogs are safe and acclimate them to the others, I feel it would be best to stay at your house.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also babysat and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for breeds including Goldendoodles, Maltese, Poodles, labradors, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and many more. One thing that sets me apart is my responsibility and dedication. I recently served as the ASB President at my high school, where I learned the importance of being dependable, organized, and someone others can count on. This fall, I’ll be attending California Lutheran University to pursue both my bachelor’s and then master’s degrees. I truly love animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would be honored to earn your trust and treat your pet like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I’m currently on summer break and in the process of preparing for my first semester at California Lutheran University, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they stay on their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule, provide plenty of love and attention, and always keep a close eye on them. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet, and I’ll communicate with you throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am highly adaptable, organized, and committed to following instructions closely while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.

About: I have been an owner of both cats and dogs all my life. 2 years ago I started pet sitting for friends and family. I love keeping pets company while their families are away. I’m comfortable taking walks, and giving medicine. I’m currently on summer break which allows me a completely open schedule. I normally go to the gym in the morning then come straight home. Friends may stop by but don’t stay for too long. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly neighbor hood with an open patch of grass. My house has lots of space, A/C and anything else a pet may need.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs within my family and my own friend’s dogs and cats as well. I have always liked being around pets of all kind. I am currently in the process of finding a part time job, so I can make time with any and all pets. This means I am available during any day and any time. At home, I have a dog named Ajax who primarily stays in our fenced in front yard. He has access to outside through my own room. His food and water bowl is set in my own room and he sleeps in my room as well either on my carpeted floor or my own bed. I refill his water bowl once a day or it depends on how dirty he makes it and only give him only a bowl of food a day.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Santee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Santee on Rover is $16.65 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 9,508 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Santee. 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 Santee. 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 Santee.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Santee. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
