About: Hey fur mom and dad! My name is Ary. A little bit about myself is I am a pre-nursing student currently enrolled online through Arizona State University where I plan to earn a Bachelors in Science in Nursing. When I am not working on school work, I am spending time with family and friends, walking my own fur babies or volunteering at my local animal shelter. I currently have 3 dachshunds, 1 Chihuahua, and 1 Maltipoo-Terrier mix as my children. I have grown up in a family of dog lovers where they taught me to treat animals with love, kindness, and like your children. To say I love dogs is an understatement. My dream is to one day open an animal/dog sanctuary so I can foster dogs, rehabilitate them, and find them safe homes without fear of euthanasia. Dogs have the ability to heal people without ever saying a word. They’re family. Other than raising multiple dogs through out my childhood, I have 2 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. I also have 1 year of experience volunteer at my local animal shelter where I walk, feed, and love on these beautiful dogs. As I mentioned previously, I am schooling online so my availability to care for your babies is mostly open except for somedays of the week after 6 pm as I also work part time. My schedule can be adjusted given a week’s notice ahead of time as your pets are my number 1 priority. Feel free to message me about any schedule concerns and I guarantee we can come to a solution together! When it comes to caring for your pets, it is my job to pick up their pre-existing routines and also make sure they can make fun and safe new activities with Fur Auntie Ary. I can’t wait to meet some new furry friends and earn your trust as well as theirs. See you all soon!
“is wonderful! She’s always on time and very reliable. When the Rover app was down, she made sure to reach out quickly so we could stay in touch — I really appreciated her communication and professionalism. She’s responsible and caring, and I feel confident knowing my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend Joyce!”

“Shelby is a lifesaver! She accepted my last-minute Christmas request and even suggested a meet and greet beforehand to ensure a good fit. She walked Sushi for the exact time and distance requested, even with rain in the forecast. Reliable, professional, and dedicated—I can’t thank her enough for taking good care of Sushi for the first booking!!”

About: I am a passionate pet lover who has had years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even hamsters! I provide pets with lots of love and attention and make sure that they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you are away! I am available for walks, feeding, playing, or even just keeping your pet company! I am currently doing a remote internship and have plenty of time to care for your pet's needs! I would love to be able to get out of the house and walking dogs is the perfect opportunity to get some fresh air and exercise. I also have two cats of my own so caring for another cat will be no problem! I love animals and love being around them! I have a fenced-off backyard with a large shaded patio area as well as some grass space. The front yard has a nice patch of grass as well but is not completely fenced off. Pets are free to roam throughout the house, however, it should be noted that I have two cats. They are accustomed to being around other animals but will be shy and keep their distance. I have enough space for a crate if your animal is crate-trained.

About: For over 12 years, I’ve dedicated myself to being the best pet parent I can be, caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. My passion for animals goes beyond just the basics; I believe every pet deserves attentive, loving care and a healthy, happy environment. I treat every pet in my care the same way I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve had pets for over 12 years, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and health check-ins are already built into my daily rhythm. This makes it easy for me to seamlessly incorporate your pet into my routine without disruption. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening cuddle session, I make sure every pet in my care gets consistent attention throughout the day. When caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal as possible, because familiar surroundings and schedules help pets feel safe and stress-free. I follow any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and preferences. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and keep communication open by sending updates, photos, and messages so owners always know their pet is in good hands. I bring the same level of care and attention to your pet that I give to my own.

About: I'm super patient and I'm very attentive. I just love looking after others in general and I find joy in work like this. I've looked after my sick parents and after my sibling most of my life, I was also one of the eldest kids in my church community so I was depended on to look after them a lot of the times as well. From there I was depended on for other things like looking after the occasional pet by family friends from the church and from my own friends. As of right now regularly help take care of my girlfriend's little Pomeranian and I love him.

When with a pet, I am not just physically present but mentally too, ready to anticipate any need and determine how to satisfy it. Always ready to look out for any potential danger and on my toes to be ready to deal with anything if needed.

Xiaoting took wonderful care of my senior dog, Sushi. Sushi wasn’t feeling up for a walk at first, but Xiaoting was incredibly patient and gentle, and she was able to successfully take her out. She took extra time and truly showed how much she cares. My senior dog really needs someone like Xiaoting—kind, understanding, and attentive. I’m very grateful for her care and highly recommend her.

Shelby is a lifesaver! She accepted my last-minute Christmas request and even suggested a meet and greet beforehand to ensure a good fit. She walked Sushi for the exact time and distance requested, even with rain in the forecast. Reliable, professional, and dedicated—I can’t thank her enough for taking good care of Sushi for the first booking!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in South San Jose Hills on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 22,401 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South San Jose Hills. 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 South San Jose Hills. 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 South San Jose Hills.

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 South San Jose Hills. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
