“Marissa is fantastic. She’s always on time and takes my pup on different walking routes all the time to keep him excited and interested. She lets him take his time sniffing around and people watching. We’ve already referred her to other neighbors and friends. 100% recommend!”
“Dylan was available to walk Mika on very short notice and was super responsive & friendly. He sent photos and left a great summary of their walk together. I’m sure Mika had lots of fun and definitely trust using his services again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. My parents and my sister have dogs that I help take care of and love to take on walks! I don’t have a dog of my own because I’m not allowed to have one where I live but I’d love to get my dog fix through helping take care of yours! I’m currently in the middle of finding a new job. I just moved back home from San Luis Obispo. I’m open weekdays mostly mid mornings. I walk/run down at rio almost everyday and love to stay active. Would love dog friends to join! I have a fenced yard off the main roads. My parents have a golden doodle and a couple of cats that love to run on the property plus it’s a very family oriented and friendly neighborhood.
“Marley has been so great to work with! She is fantastic as both a walker and sitter for our dog and has been super accommodating of changes as we dealt with some personal chaos. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner.”
About: I’m a proud owner of a crazy dog and a wannabe independent cat, and I’ve been pet sitting for most of my neighbors, taking their dogs on walks, and making sure all of their animals are fed and have had some time to play! I love all animals and I can handle anything from the most energetic puppy to a grumpy cat. I’m something of a pet whisperer I’m currently in highschool, so my scheduling for the next couple months is Monday-Thursday after 1:45pm, Fridays after 12:15, Saturdays after 3:15, and anytime Sunday I can stop by once a day or multiple times a day depending on what is desired in order to feed, check on water, take on walks, or just to get some play time in. Also super down to just keep your pets company for a while, because I know some of them miss their people.
“Shyylynn is wonderful! I immediately felt at easy leaving our extremely energetic terrier with her. We plan on continuing to have her walk our dog regularly while we are at work.”
“Miranda is always prompt, willing to adjust timing if possible, and very good with communications. She really stepped up when I needed help due to an injury. My dog loves his walks with her!”
“Anna was wonderful in taking my dog, Haley, for walks when I was laid up with an issue with my foot. Anna let me know when she was on the way over, very on time, super nice upon meeting, great with introducing to my dog Haley and engaging with Haley, very sweet. I so appreciated Anna's help and would definitely reach out to Anna again when I need help.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including working at a dog daycare caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant and Pet CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. I’m patient, dependable, loving, and comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need a good walk and playtime to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Most importantly, I treat every dog like I would want someone to treat my own—with love, respect, patience, and plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I enjoy making walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to work around each dog’s individual schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect every pet’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, safe walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention.
“Skye , is a lovely professional dog walker. My dog Scooby warmed up to her right away. After just a few days of service Scooby is now very excited to see her knowing a good walk is on the way. He can tell she’s an animal person. Skye is easy to communicate with, friendly and very professional. Can’t say enough of what a find skye is on rover. Happy new customer, highly recommend!”
“Melissa is great and conscientious! Freya loves her and she is super responsive, keeping us up to date in everything. She even took time to come meet Freya, to pick up a key, etc. So appreciated!”
About: I have sixteen 5 star reviews on Trusted House Sitters (along with my wife Allison who joins me on most dog and cat sits.) We have taken care of dogs of various sizes as well as a lot of cats. We both work remotely which makes us very flexible for pet care. I can work remotely from anywhere on my laptop (part time!) which allows me plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. After my years as a Trusted House Sitter, my goal is to spend most of my time dedicated to caring for animals as they are my passion so they will be my number one priority! I care for your pets in your home, I will be in most of the day working online so they will get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I am always available to contact and will make sure you receive photos and updates multiple times a day.
“Rachel is a great walker. She has been walking our 2 10 month old GSC pups for about 6 months every day now and has been aiding in training during walks. We definitely reccomend Rachel for her above and beyond efforts, dependability, and character! Keep up the great work and thank you for everything your doing!”
“Teresa stayed in contact with me while I was on vacation by sending updates and photographs of my dogs. My vacation was stress-free knowing I had someone so wonderful taking care of my dogs and my house. ”
“I have asked Mary Ann to help with the care of our family dog twice now and both times she was responsive with booking, cleaning up an accident inside the house, giving meds and showing up in time frames requested. We are really grateful for her help and service.”
About: Hi! I'm Seth. and I have over 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals. I have returned to California and I am now located in Santa Cruz! I'm comfortable with all dog breeds, all sizes and all ages. I am patient, kind and maintain a tidy, safe, and relaxed environment, caring for your animals and your home, inside and out. I spend my free time volunteering at equine rescues. I live a relatively quiet life, keeping my social circle very small which works well with dedicating myself to providing a full time pet care service. I am also experienced with special needs and senior dogs, and up until very recently, I was a daily volunteer at Starry Skies Equine Rescue and Sanctuary in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I worked to provide gentle, attentive care to horses, mules, donkeys, ponies, goats, pigs and cattle. Dogs & cats are my primary specialty, but I connect easily with all animals. I pet sit as a full time job and I will be seeking equine rescue volunteer opportunities to fill my availability. My availability is generally wide open. I do not have a "regular/day" job. I offer a true, full time pet sitting service. We will start with a 15-30 minute in-home meet and greet. Please provide a printed list detailing veterinary office/phone number, preferred emergency animal hospital, routines/routes, typical walk times and duration, and any helpful reminders that will help me in keeping your dog(s) and other animals safe and happy. A one time demonstration of your preferred feeding schedule/routine is a good idea, so if possible the meet and greet should be as close to this time as possible, allowing me to feed them will start the trust association into my care. Unfortunately, I'm not hosting any animals in my home at this time.
About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals the best possible life & experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and owned for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover. Im passionate and safety oriented. I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.

Jared was great with my dogs and very quick to respond as well as proactive with scheduling and communication. My dogs were very happy when he met them and were nice and tired after their walk. Jared also listened well and followed my instructions. I will definitely have Jared come back!
Sandra was wonderful with my sweetheart tank of a dog...It was their first visit together and I could tell it was a good match. Sandra took my dog for a long walk and knew how to stop her pulling as well as allowed her to sniff. Sandra communicated very well and I'm sure I'll ask for her help again.
Troy did such an awesome job caring for our dog, Diesel. Every day that Troy hung out with Diesel he was totally pooped by the end of the day which was extremely helpful as someone who works full time. Troy was communicative and accommodating to our needs. I couldn't recommend him more!!

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 Soquel. 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.

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.
