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.
“Gricelda is amazing with our pets. We have a dog Gricelda sits/walks regularly and a cat. She is so easy to work with, flexible and treats our pets as if they were hers. I recommend and will continue to book with Gricelda.”

About: I've always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even cute little guinea pigs! I've owned them, so I understand the daily care, attention, and patience pets need. I also lived with roommates who had cats, which gave me experience helping care for them as well. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate more time and attention to your babies. I'm available for longer visits, walks, playtime, and/or keeping them company throughout the day. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and plenty of indoor space for pets to feel comfortable. There aren't many people in my home, so I can give your pet lots of attention and closely monitor their needs. I make sure they always have fresh water, and a clean/safe environment. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident they’re doing well while you’re away.
“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!!”

I'm currently on a sabbatical so I have a lot of availability for whatever will best suit your needs! I am happy to help in whatever ways I can as we head into summer and can provide care on both weekdays and weekends. I am always aware of my surroundings, supervising both my own and my pets’ safety. My dog at home has lifelong allergies, so I’ve had to build trust with her so we can adhere to her medications, keep her clean, and keep her happy. I’m very adaptable and quick to create a welcoming environment.

About: TLDR: 1) I’ve taken care of dogs for 4+ years 2) I love hiking and long walks 3) Dogs tend to like me and I like them My fur-nephews are away and I miss them. Both my siblings have dogs and I've taken care of them over the years. Now, your dog instead, can be spoiled by my care. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood, to parks, and maybe even to a dog-park if you'd like. I'm the person that you run into the park or on the sidewalk that starts talking to you because your dog is just that cute and I want to pet him/her. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and we can see when could work best for our schedules. Preferably walks and/or visits are when the sun is still out. It’s important for us to have a chat so that I know what your pet’s likes, dislikes, and rules are. Once that is shared, I’ll use it to provide the best experience for your pet! :)

About: I’ve always been a dog lover. After losing my Basset Hound of 13 years to cancer last August, life hasn’t been the same. He was my sidekick and my carpool buddy. He taught me what it truly meant to love an animal though and how when it is real love, they can’t help but becoming part of the family. I’m still debating on when will the right time to get another dog will be, but in the mean time I miss be around dogs and I think this would be a great way to get back in the swing of things.

About: Need someone to care for your fur baby? I’m your person! Certified in giving love, belly rubs, and compliments like “who’s the best dog ever?” (spoiler alert, it’s yours).

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. Right now, all I am is a full-time student so other than my classes I have very little commitment and will be free for most requests. Even if my schedule overlaps I also have a very flexible schedule so I don't have to consider if I'm free too much. 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South San Jose Hills
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!!

Wow! What a blessing to have found Nora. She took such good care of our boy, I don’t think he even missed us!! And that’s a good thing💗.. being away from your pet can be nerve wracking but Nora was in constant communication with us and that set us at ease. She was tidy, prompt and caring. We can’t say enough good things. We will DEFINITELY use Nora again. Thank You, Walter and The Gomez Familly

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 22,783 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.
