About: I am an all-around animal lover and always have been. I am very sensitive to an animal's needs, and want to make sure your animal is happy. Having a large car, I would love to take your dog for long walks around the community forest, the marsh, or around the local park. I'm currently working part time, so I have high flexibility and availability for taking care of your dog or cat. Weekdays are preferred, but I am also available on weekends if needed. I have a small studio apartment that would be most appropriate for boarding a small dog or cat. I also love walks and would be willing to take your pup for a walk in the community forest nearby, the nearby park, marsh, beach, etc. Caring for your animal is my top priority.

About: Hi! My schedule will be tailored to yours. I am very flexible and willing to do services with little prior heads up. Just message me for whatever you need and I will make it work. Ive taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since i was very young. There has always been some sort of animal in my house hold whether thats a small dog, a big dog, a couple of cats, birds or guinea pigs. My relationship with my animals has always been a mutual respect for each other without any issues in the past with authority which is due to my training and conditioning with my animals. I’ve made my home a safe and loving environment for my animals with their best interests considered first with daily physical and mental stimulation with fun games and walks as well as nutritious diets containing real food. I’d love to get to know your pup and take him or her on long walks. I dont have a very packed schedule so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! Im able to walk or feed your dog before 9 am and at around 12.30 in the afternoon every weekday as well as boarding your pup or kitty at my house or watching your dog overnight at your home every week day except Friday. Weekends I have more flexibility during the day and can watch your companion overnight on saturday and sunday if needed. I am flexible with day of requests for random times and can make those work every now and then. ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE. I have a fenced back yard and a very friend shiba inu and chow chow mix who is a spayed female dog and is the light of my life and a black outdoor cat. My dog is very friendly with all animals and is very curious of being friends with others and would be a perfect companion for your animal.

“I have used Natalie’s services for months and have nothing but good things to say about her! She has done house drop ins, dog walks, and house sat for my dog and cat. I always knew my pets were safe and well taken care of. On the walks she would walk my dog sometimes up to 7 miles! When house sitting I always came home to the place in great condition. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: My family has had animals running around for all of my life! Friends and family have relied on me to help watch, walk, and love dogs and cats! My family has 2 dogs we got in 2020 and 4 cats we have had for years! I am excellent with cats and understand that some need patience, time, and space to warm up to you! I love running around with dogs and getting their adrenaline going but I'm also a big sucker for some puppy cuddles! **Availability! As it is summer, I am not in school, or taking any classes. Rover is my main source of income! I am available for any and all :) I have a fenced yard with enough space for your pup to run around and a reliable dog park around the corner at Spring Canyon Park! I have no problem with putting your pup in a crate or giving your pet any medication they may need! I love to go on long walks and have your pup guide me with all the sniffies they desire (avoiding unfamiliar objects of course) but I also love to just sit and hangout if your pet prefers! If any pet has a disability or a disadvantage I have the patience to take it slow if they need it!

About: I've been with animals all my life. Grew up with dogs and trained my own since I was young. I've been pet sitting since I was 14. I can groom, walk, train, feed and house sit. I have a part time job on M, W, & F from 8-12 in the morning. I work a part time job during half of the week. My availability is off by an hour than what the app says. I ride a bike so walks or day to day pet sitting works best. I have a fenced yard in a house. I'm dedicated to going over treatment lists with owners and overviews of what happens under my care. I make sure to keep in contact with you, the owner, in case of emergencies.

About: Hello! My name is Kayla. I have been working with animals since I was 13 and I first volunteered at a local rescue as a dog walker and bather. I have since then worked many jobs in doggie daycare where I got tons of training in animal behavior. My ultimate goal was to become an RVT and work in a hospital where I would have the opportunity to change the lives of animals. This dream came true in 2024 when I became a licensed veterinary technician. I have since worked at a veterinary hospital where I continue to make a difference and get the opportunity to love on your animals like they are my own and keep them as healthy as possible. When I am not working I am typically spending time at home with my family and my own pets.

About: I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for 12 years. I grew up having 2 dogs and a cat to take care of at the same time, all different ages and breeds. I’m really into all animals and love just being able to be around them and meeting new ones. On my free time I volunteer at the Sequoia Park Zoo as well. I currently have a pretty open schedule. I definitely can accommodate and am open and flexible to working with your schedule as much as you need. I’ve been home alone a lot with my 2 dogs and had to raise them and a cat, so I talk and hang out quite a lot with pets when I’m around them. I really love petting animals as it gives me just as much enjoyment as it does them.

About: I am a long time animal lover and have been working in pet care for over 25 years professionally. I have ample experience with dog walking and overnight pet sitting. I ran my own dog walking business as a sole proprietor for many years, and also have worked as an independent contractor for other dog walking & pet sitting companies. In the past, I've cared for many different animals of varying ages and breeds; from puppies and kittens to seniors. I have plenty of experience administering medication for animals who need it, whether it be ear/eye drops, pills, and insulin injections. I also have experience caring for small and furry (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs) as well as scaly (fish, snakes, turtles). I'm responsible, caring, and punctual, and I genuinely care about providing great service to you and your pet. I am looking forward to meeting your furry (or scaly) friend! My schedule is fairly flexible and I will accept bookings Mon-Sun from 8am to 5pm. I prefer to do an free consultation with your dog before you book your first walk. I do appreciate advance bookings, but will do my best to fit you in! Your pet is a member of your family, so it is important to me that your pal feels loved and cared for while you are away. I travel to you and I am not currently available for boarding in my home.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and family. I find a lot of joy in caring for them and appreciate the reciprocal relationship that develops with them over time. No matter what mood I’m in, my interactions with animals often leave me in a positive state of mind. I work full time, Mon-Fri from 8-4:30. Any time outside of this I am happy to work doing sitting or walking, and I’m open to staying overnight. I can be somewhat flexible with your needs. I am looking to supplement my income, but also just really enjoy having animals in my life and can’t have them in my own home. My landlord does not permit animals in the building, so I would have to come where your animals are. I can either walk a dog from your home, stop by for feedings , or house-sit as needed.

About: I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, and my boyfriend who I live with has had dogs his whole life. We love dogs of all size and ages and hope to adopt more in the future. I (Rebekah) will be who is primarily with your pup! I work 8:30-5 M-F, but am available to let your dog out for a potty break on my lunch and spend the rest of my time outside of work with them! I love to cuddle with pups while reading a book, as well as taking them on walks and playing with them with their toys! I strive to make the dogs feel comfortable with me, as I’m sure they get confused with a new person in their house. I try to keep their daily routine as similar to what they’re used to!

Jackie has the best dog energy. After meeting our pup for just a few minutes once our dog went right up to her and started giving her kisses. Jackie is also very on time and responsive. Highly recommend

Kailin was great with my Goober! They took him on a nice hour-long and made sure to give him some of his favorite treats. They also sent me some pictures of Goober enjoying his walk! I would definitely book with Kailin again

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sunny Brae

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sunny Brae is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $1 and $28 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 204 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sunny Brae. 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 Sunny Brae. 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 Sunny Brae 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 Sunny Brae. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
