“It was my first time using Rover and Kim made me feel at ease with the process. She was very flexible and communicative. My dog seem to adapt to Kim very quickly and looks like she enjoyed her walks. I will book with Kim again in the future if I need a dog walker.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and my experience caring for family & friends’ pets (and my own) has taught me just how important it is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, & loved. Whether we’re going on a walk, enjoying playtime, or relaxing at home, I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels happy and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure to do whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. My overall goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, attentive hands while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friend! I also have my own small, friendly dog that I walk and care for on a daily basis. I live in a dog friendly apartment in a very walkable & safe part of Walnut Creek. I believe in following your dog’s usual routine, giving them plenty of attention and affection, and making sure they have time for both play and relaxation. I’ll also follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is being cared for with love
About: I've always been able to read animals very easily. I can pick up on their body language and am able to quickly tell what they need, whether that's a break, some water, or just a little extra attention (or if they want some space!). I'm comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs from all age ranges, and I adjust to each animal instead of treating every walk the same. I think pets are truly a gift to this world and deserve every ounce of respect. I'm a full-time product designer and I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I don't have many meetings, which means I can usually step away for a walk or a drop-in during the day. Every day looks a little different, but I'm available more than most, so send me a message and we can find a time that works for you and your pup. I thrive on specific instruction and will follow your routine closely. I am extra careful to double-check that doors and gates are closed, and I think beyond the instructions to make sure your pet is taken care of. My goal is to make pet owners and pets feel completely comfortable with me in their space.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from little puppies and kittens to older pals who need extra care. My own elderly cat and dogs have needed ear drops, oral medicine, and insulin injections. I don’t just fill the bowls and leave. I stay for real visits with play, treats, cuddles, or quiet time, whatever helps your pet feel at home. Every animal is different. Some want lots of affection and some need space. That’s fine with me. Even the ones who like distance still get attention in a way that feels right for them. I’m happy to care for birds, fish, bugs, or other small pets too, as long as you show me what to do. I can also water plants, bring in the mail, and help with other little house things. Your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away, and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands! I work remotely from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate visits throughout the day. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, with the only exceptions being occasional scheduled work meetings. I know my meeting schedule in advance, so we can coordinate visit times ahead of booking to make sure I’m available when your pets need me! I treat every client's home with the same care and respect that I would want someone to show my own home. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, following your instructions and routines, and making sure your pets are comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your time away as worry free as possible, knowing both your pets and your home are in good hands.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog and cat lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. Our home is a safe, loving, and active environment where pets are treated like family. We have a secure fenced yard for supervised play, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or curling up for belly rubs, we'll tailor their stay to help them feel comfortable and at home. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a fun, stress-free experience for your pet and make them excited to come back for their next visit! Pet care fits naturally into our family's daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule and am only in the office three days a week, while my husband is in and out throughout the day, so there is typically someone home to provide attention, potty breaks, meals, and companionship. Our evenings are centered around walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs, and we make sure they have plenty of opportunities to get outside and stay active throughout the day. On weekends, we're home more often, which means even more time for exercise, cuddles, and fun. We understand how important consistency is for pets, so we do our best to maintain each dog's normal routine and provide a safe, loving environment where they feel like part of the family. When pets stay in our home, they become part of the family. We have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have a friendly, playful dog who loves having canine companions and helps visiting dogs feel welcome, while we always make sure introductions are done safely and at each dog's comfort level. We follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quieter environment with extra cuddles, we tailor our care to meet their individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Regular photo and video updates are always included so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay.
“Alexis is so good with Rosie. Today, Rosie cried and squealed as Alexis arrived, leaping over two steps to get to her faster. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does. Excellent communicator, great dog behavioralist, friendly and kind. Thank you, Alexis!”
“Susan has been walking our dogs 1-2x a week for at least 6 months now and we couldn’t be happier. Our dogs love her and Luna and look forward to their walks. Susan is very trustworthy!”
“So energetic and sweet. Went above and beyond to give my pup a good walk.Even though Leo is usually shy, he was excited to meet her during meet & greet. Thanks so much!”
About: With over five years of dog sitting experience, I provide dependable, active, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s personality and energy level. I prioritize long walks, structured routines, and meaningful playtime to keep dogs mentally stimulated and physically engaged. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels secure, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I offer weekend boarding and walks in a relaxed, active environment where your dog can feel at home. We’ll get outside for fresh air and movement, enjoy playtime throughout the day, and keep things easygoing and comfortable. I follow your dog’s normal feeding schedule and preferences, but overall I focus on making sure they feel loved, exercised, and happy. Your dog will be cared for like they’re my own. I have plenty of outdoor space for safe play, fresh air, and lots of room to explore. We’ll spend time outside getting energy out, going on walks, and enjoying playtime, balanced with indoor relaxation and cuddles. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, making sure they feel comfortable and secure the entire time they’re with me.
About: I have had a cream golden retriever for over twelve years. I am great with any age of dog and would love to care for or walk your cuties! I am currently a student so my schedule is more centered around taking classes. I would love to care for your pets in the afternoons during the week. I am very safe with pets. I am responsible and trustworthy. I have cared for all types of animals such as cats, dogs, hamsters, fishes, snakes, chickens, and hermit crabs.
“Agne is so wonderful with our dog, Baloo. You can tell that she loves dogs. She is timely and reliable. I am so glad I found her. Baloo is a big dog (over 100 lbs) and he is no problem for her.”
“Stephanie was on time for daisies three times a day visits and sent plenty of pictures with notes while I was away. She even walked Daisy longer than I requested :). I would definitely use Stephanie again if I ever need someone.!”
“Felix is a reliable and dependable dog walker and house sitter. Between walking my 11 month German shepherd or caring for my five year old Lab, I have nothing but good things and praise to say about his work.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and truly enjoy spending time with them. I lived with three dogs for over seven years, where I was responsible for their daily care, including feeding, walking, playtime, bath, and basic training. This experience taught me how to understand different personalities, build trust, and provide a safe, loving environment. I also lived with two cats for more than a year and helped leash-train one of them so they could safely enjoy outdoor adventures. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always adapt my care to their comfort level and routine. In addition, I cared for a family’s dog for an entire summer while they were away. We spent our days going on walks, visiting the beach, playing at the park, and enjoying plenty of quality time together. Making pets feel happy, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet loves long walks, active play, or simply relaxing with companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. I work full-time, but my flexible schedule allows me to take breaks throughout the day, ensuring your cat receives attentive, reliable care whenever needed. My spacious home provides plenty of room to relax, and my fully fenced backyard offers safe outdoor time with constant supervision and personalized care daily.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saranap
Agne was wonderful with my dog! I had a malfunction with my door that normally lets my dog out, and she was able to meet my dog the day of Ann taking him for a walk later that evening, which I really appreciate appreciated! She was timely, friendly, and very good with my dog! Would definitely recommend her as a dog walker and I love the fact that she lives so close by!!
Amy was great! She was communicative, responsible, and wonderful with our corgi, Mochi, who can be a little cranky sometimes. She followed all directions and took great care of him on his walks while we were away. We really appreciate her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Amy!
We have had wonderful experiences working with Kelly. Our dog hasn’t had much exposure to new people and can be a bit nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to help our dog feel comfortable, and we were so impressed with how quickly trust developed. She was also extremely communicative, keeping us updated and answering any questions we had, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. In addition, Kelly has been very flexible and willing to help us coordinate dog sitting coverage during an important time for our family. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for our dog has truly stood out. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker or pet sitter!

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 Saranap. 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 Saranap 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 Saranap. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
