“Ronald walked my two dogs - one who small and anxious and the other who is medium sized and high energy. He came over to meet them beforehand and they warmed right up. Will definitely ask him to walk them again in the future!”

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I stick to their feeding schedule and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I also love running, so if a dog is up for it, I’ll happily take them on a jog with me. I build my days around the pets I care for. I usually set aside specific blocks for walks, feeding, and playtime so nothing gets missed. It actually helps me stay structured and active throughout the week. I provide all pet care at the client’s home, never at mine. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own environment.

About: My first fur baby was Minnie (chi-weenie) gifted to me when I was 7 years old! Since then I grew up with her, my other fur baby Kobe who is a chihuahua mix, Lilly (Pitbull mix, and Chico (Pitbull mix.) My home was full of their love. I get to continue to share the love with all the doggy’s I have met so far. I am that friend everyone would come to for advice for their fur babies and to take care of. The last couple pictures are my precious babies that I would frequently care for in LA. I hope I am able to share these fun days with your fur baby! Whenever I get the chance to take a long walk I love including any doggy with me or just relaxing and watch bluey with my new fur pals. I’m very respectful of my surroundings and will always ask questions to know exactly of what you expect of me. Can’t wait to spend time with your pup!

“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”

About: Hello! I’m Victoria, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who provides calm, attentive care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. Many animals seem to relax quickly around my steady, reassuring presence. With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs while keeping their routine consistent and low-stress. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules so pets feel secure while their family is away, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and supporting their well-being. I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.

I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I love being active and spending time outdoors with dogs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I’m attentive, responsible, and will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. From chihuahuas to German shepherds and every breed in between. My family and friends have relied on me to care for their furry loved ones and I am grateful that you’ve considered allowing me to do the same for you. I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible. I live near downtown Napa so I can get just about anywhere in the valley and the Bay. Unfortunately, I do not currently offer services to house your pet in my home. I am reliable, caring, and trustworthy - pets are a part of the family & I will provide the best possible care for your pet while you are away.

About: Hi, I’m Bella! I was born and raised in Sonoma County and live on a ranch with large dogs, horses, and sheep. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11, from family pets to farm animals, and I have hands-on experience with everything from pigs and sheep to horses and energetic pups. When I’m not working, I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my Jack Russell, Finn. I’d love the chance to help care for your animal with the same love and attention I give to my own. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule around each client’s needs. I plan my days to make sure pets get consistent walks, playtime, and attention, and I treat their care as a priority, not an afterthought. Whether it’s stopping by for visits, staying overnight, or spending extra time for companionship, I build my week around providing dependable care and keeping pets happy and comfortable. When staying in your home, I care for your pets in their own comfortable and familiar space. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs, while keeping your home tidy and secure. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, and I provide regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both young pets and senior pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s extra patience for training young pets or gentle care for older ones. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail during check-ins, and my ability to create a calm and comforting environment for pets while their owners are away. I’ve grown up with pets all my life- cats, dogs, and even birds . My experience within taking care of a pet is well achieved.

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

About: I've had two dogs which I know isn't a lot compared to some but the companionship and bond between an animal and its owner is real. My current pup is 75lbs. She is a nervous and reactive dog but also amazing ! I have been in training with her since she was a pup. Some dogs just need consistency and leadership. I can walk or dog sit for you and care for your pet like it was my own. To be successful it's important for me to communicate with you so I can give your dog the best experience. I am open to help with all dogs young or old. I do work Monday-Thursday but I'm available evenings for walks or Friday to Sunday. I make sure my dog is exercised daily and I can help you with that too. I can help you and your pet with a safe walking environment! I also would follow your guidelines and structure of your pet in your home to make you and them feel safe.

About: With three decades of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy and responsibility of caring for a wide range of animals and homes. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication, multi-pet households to quiet countryside retreats, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply caring. Over the years, I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels • Cats with a wide range of personalities and needs • Rabbits, turtles, fish, and other small animals • Homes big and small—always kept clean, secure, and well-tended What sets me apart is my consistency and calm presence. I show up on time, follow routines as requested, and keep in regular communication while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or offering your pets lots of playtime and affection, I approach each sit with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own home and animals. Over the years, many of my clients have become repeat families and even friends—because they know they can trust me to show up with integrity, kindness, and competence every single time. I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter. I follow each animal’s schedule—morning walks, feeding, medication, play, and check-ins—while keeping the home clean and calm. I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

Ronald was great with our dogs and even though our dogs tend to be a little nervous, they bonded with him immediately and had a great time. It’s clear Ronald has a lot of experience with dogs and was great at communicating with them. Would highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sonoma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sonoma is $33 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $53 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,572 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sonoma. 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 Sonoma. 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 Sonoma 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 Sonoma. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
