About: I worked for 18 months in a boarding facility for cats and dogs. I am comfortable with all ages of pets. I can administer medications. I have experience with reactive dogs. I personally have two senior cats and an 8 year old dog. I have been dogsitting and catsitting for six years. I am a full time student but have a large amount of flexibility between classes and am completely free on the weekends. I will keep my calendar updated. I do not take pets into my home as my dog is reactive, however I am very thoughtful in the homes of others. I am happy to walk familiar routes or try something new with your friend. I will always do a meet and greet before a long time stay to ensure me and the animal can bond. I can work with your schedule.
“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Five stars!!! Katerina was amazing. She just had her first walk with my hundred pound pure muscle German Shepherd mix. She came in with confidence and provided structure immediately. She calmed him down by giving him commands and treats and surprisingly he didn’t jump all over her like he normally does to guests. She gave him an awesome walk provided the cutest photos and I can tell will be the perfect structure he needs for walks. Super excited to book her for reoccurring walks in the future.”
“Jennifer was great! She was on time and attentive to our dog and provided lots of photos and feedback after their walk. My dog was happy and tired after his walk! We will definitely book her again :)”
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.
“Valerie is the best! She is extremely professional, reliable and communicative, and takes care of our dog as if he were her own. She goes above and beyond, providing so much love, care and socialization for our little guy on his daily walks. So glad we found her!”
“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.”
“Emily is incredible! She has been walking our 2 (big) dogs for about 2 weeks now and the boys are loving the walks. Emily is very alert to all their needs and is even helping to train them along the way. Booking with Emily was super easy and she always responds quickly to any/all messages. I would definitely recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Emily was great! I booked her day-of on a holiday weekend in a bind and she was super fast to respond, asked clarifying questions to make sure things went smoothly, and then sent lots of pics and reported back on how things went. She even stayed over a few minutes to make sure our dog went potty which was much appreciated. We will definitely use her again for dog walking!”
“My German Shepard absolutely loves Katja. Katja is just amazing with him. He waits patiently at the door for her to show up to take him on walks every single time. It’s super adorable! Katja is so kind, fun and responsible. We love her and feel so lucky to have found her.”
About: Caring for cats, dogs and horses since I was 15. Worked in emergency veterinary care for 15 years. Not only will I ensure your fur baby is safe but also that they stay on their regular routine. Only working Tuesday-Thursday at the moment so I have plenty of time for your pets needs and ensuring they are well cared for for in your absence I’m a stickler for routines and will absolutely make sure your pets regular feeding & potty schedule is adhered to. I also want to make sure they are comfortable while you’re out.
About: We always had pets while I was growing up, mostly dogs and cats. I first adopted a dog on my own when I was in my early 20s, a beautiful chocolate lab named Riley. When I got engaged to be married, we rescued a small dog, Niko - our first baby. Niko sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of 17. She is greatly missed. In more recent years we brought Huckleberry into the family as a small puppy. He is a wonderful Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. He was Niko's best friends. We have always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, rats, etc. I am recently divorced and missing being around Huckleberry every day, and I would love to meet your beloved pet and would enjoy a check-in or a walk. I am currently doing consulting for a variety of companies in the medical technology space, providing me plenty of time to hang out with your dogs. Weekend days are the most wide-open, but during the week I also have plenty of time each day. I cannot host pets in my home and am available to drop-in and pick up dogs for walks from a client's home. Any care during a check-in or walk would be through gentle care and support, and hopefully some fun for all. I will talk with the client about any specific needs and requests.
About: Hi There! My name is Kristi and I’ve cared for dogs (family dogs, friends/family dogs, and now our own!) for the last 15+ years. A little about me—I’m a Bay Area local, grew up with German Shepherds and have experience with owning and caring for large breed dogs. We currently have a 4 year old German Shepherd mix who we absolutely adore. He is friendly with other dogs, babies and kids, and has enjoyed a fur sibling when we’ve fostered in the past. I’ve volunteered at The Tri Valley Animal Shelter for about 4 years (dog walking), and have also volunteered with the Bay Area German Shepherd Rescue, where I’ve fostered 2 dogs (including one 4 month old puppy). Whether it’s strolling the streets, playing catch at the park, or simply just showering your pup with love and treats—I’m there! Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I value time management, dependability, and responsibility. I work from home so my schedule is flexible, and am happy to adhere to your dogs usual schedule/routine. I take our dog out at least twice/day, with a long walk in the mornings and afternoon. Our dog Ziggy is extremely playful and friendly and would love a friend to walk/spend time with. I’m happy to crate your pup if that’s what they are used to and you’d prefer with another dog in the house.
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
About: I am a veterinarian assistant looking to earn supplemental income to pay for my college education. I work with mostly cats and dogs everyday but have also worked with animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats. At my day time job, we also provide boarding so I am quite adept to not only taking care of the pets physical needs, but also their mental stimulation. I have a lot of experience with all kinds of temperaments as well as I have my own 2 cats and German Shepherd. I am currently in school to become a veterinarian myself. Animals are my life’s passion and I would love to look after your fur babies. I am available Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day long. The other days of the week, I am available in the evening. Message me to see if I can help you out! I always keep an eye on the pets I’m watching and I like to be very involve with them and play with them and make sure all their needs are met, including but not limited to food, water, and medicine if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saranap
Courtney did an excellent job of walking our senior dog, Ernie, for us this morning! She provided great communication, arrived on time and gave Ernie lots of attention. We could tell that Ernie immediately liked Courtney and seemed very comfortable and happy! 🐾💕
I wanted to write a new review since my last review was in May when I had my first walk by Emily. I wanted to come to rover and give an updated review. Emily is extremely caring and responsive. She gives detailed updates, sends cute pictures and takes really great care of my dog Ronnie (who is high energy and strong). I feel like I always can rely on her and will continue to use her moving forward as one of my dog walkers. thank you Emily for being so great.
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!
Selena S is amazing ! I needed help after I injured my ankle and couldn’t walk my dog Vito! Selena was so great in helping me feel comfortable about her walking my dog Vito. Selena is reliable, studious in the way she made contact for the times that was scheduled and great with Vito! Vito took to Selena immediately, he has great instincts! When she was schedule to come, I would tell him a few minutes before and he would stare out the window for her arrival! I would highly recommend her and be grateful to have her back again when we needed!

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 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.

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.

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.
