Marisa tried her best to get Nori walking each day. For some reason, Nori doesn’t like to go walk with any dog walker other than my husband. She doesn’t walk with me either😫 Marisa was so patient, and kept at it until she got comfortable enough to walk and follow her lead. We will definitely ask Marisa to help out again.

About: Hi! I’m Arielle! I am a college student majoring in psychology. I’ve always had a love for animals and currently have two dogs of my own. Through pet-sitting for family and neighbors, I’ve gained experience providing loving care to pets. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and care that I give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am able to provide basic needs such as feeding, playing, walking and picking up after your pet. I’m experienced with small-medium dogs, cats, and senior pets. During my visit, I can check in on exotic pets, pocket pets, fish, and also your plants! Let me know if your pets have any special needs, diet restrictions, behavioral or health related. What your house rules for me and your pets, and what your emergency plan is. A meet and greet is always a must, please ask for a first time Rover booking discount if you are new to Rover. Can’t wait to meet your happy pets 🩵 Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and can consistently provide pets with feeding, walks, exercise, and attention throughout the day I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment by following each pet’s routine, ensuring they have food, water, exercise, and attention, and carefully following all owner instructions. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and secure while in my care.

Madison was fantastic! She walked my puppy, Ted, for three days and exceeded all my expectations. She was always on time, super communicative, and sent me adorable pictures of Ted during their walks. I really appreciated how flexible she was with my time requests, which made coordinating with her so easy. Madison's friendly demeanor and care for Ted gave me peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys working with animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Thank you, Madison! 🐾

Amanda cared for my senior dog with not only competent care, but with great attention to detail & with kindness, thoughtfulness & compassion. Receiving her detailed updates made me feel confident and assured he was in great care while away for work this week. And once returning I could sense he was very content and peaceful. She even cuddled him for me daily, which truly melted my heart! Thank you so much, Amanda!!!

About: I have always had a love for dogs. Growing up we had two black labs (big big dogs) and I would do everything with them and just took a lot of pride In making sure they were always taken care of emotionally and physically. Since getting older I have loved taking on rolls of helping family friends with watching or walking their dogs and giving them the same treatment I would give to my own. I currently just moved to the Temecula area so at the moment I do not have a job so I am totally free and open to take on the roll of caring for multiple dogs ! I understand that all dogs are different and some just need a little more one on one play time so that would never be an issue (would never be in a rush)! I also love going on long walks as it’s a form of exercise for me so your dog will never get a bare minimum walk being in my hands:) I treat any dog like it’s my own and I understand what it’s like to leave your dog with a stranger and be so scared of the what if’s so I take a lot of pride in communicating with the owner and sending pics to let them know their baby is in good hands, having fun, and being cared for as they wished! I also encourage cameras inside clients homes because I know that you can never get enough extra reassurance and it’s always good to make sure your animal is genuinely being taken care of as the care taker says! So if you have cameras in your home I will never have an issue ! I love to make sure both me and client are comfortable for their pets best interest!

All of the skills I’ve listed I’ve acquired throughout my life, and college has taught me more professional handling and care under the supervision of a licensed and practicing veterinarian that works with our school. I can offer love and support for your fur babies so you can be worry free !. Monday - Friday im available in the mornings 7am-10am. mid-day, 3-6pm. and evenings before 8pm!.

Rex is just under a year so he spends his time lounging and playing. Rex is leash and harness trained so sometimes I like to take him out for hikes or to the beach, he’s a curious guy who gets into everything, but I made sure that the house is completely Rex proof. Both are happy healthy silly guys who we love very much.

About: I don't just love dogs; I know how to take care of them responsibly. As much as working with animals is enjoyable and fun for me, I am aware of the responsibility and skill level required to maintain a safe and healthy environment for your dog (or cat). I also know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind with a new person, so I'd love to reassure you with daily texts and photos of how our visit is going. I'm a former animal care professional with experience as a vet tech, pet store assistant manager, and groomer, and truly have an interest in the health and well being of your pet. I'm the type of person that double checks and will pay attention to the small details in your pet's behavior and appearance. And of course, I absolutely love dogs. My favorite thing about them is their ability to break up the seriousness of a moment by being absolutely silly! I've had the chance to meet dogs of all types and temperaments, and am comfortable walking energetic, leash aggressive, or nervous dogs. I understand how important exercise and quality time are in making your pup happy. My resume and references are always available upon request. I’m currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to be at home with your fur baby. My hours are flexible and we can work on setting up a schedule specific to your pets’ needs. I mainly care for pets in your home, using guidelines you provide me with. I’m open to boarding requests but do not currently offer this service on short notice.

About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.

About: Your pet will be treated like my own ! I have 10+ years of experience caring for pets and have a genuine love for all animals. In addition to dogs and cats I have also cared for small mammals, reptiles, birds and fish. I recently lost my beloved dog after 18 years so look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I know it can be stressful to trust someone else to care for your animals and to come into to your home, so I want to make you feel as comfortable as possible by understanding yours and your pet's needs. I also will always send consistent updates to my clients as well as pictures of their pets. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to accommodate most times and days needed. I do not have a set schedule aside from sometimes picking up my son from school so I can easily meet the needs of your pet. I believe in treating a client's home with the utmost respect and care. You will always come home to a clean house and happy pets. I am more than happy to water plants, assist with any home care needs, organization, etc.

About: ✨ Greetings, and welcome! I’m Eucalyptus—your Fur Godmother. 🧚🏽‍♀️🐾 Animals have been the greatest joy of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, and for the past 8 years I’ve had the privilege of providing professional pet care for families who trust me with their beloved companions. My experience includes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, farm animals, aquatic pets, and many other exotic species. I’ve also cared for senior pets, puppies and kittens, pets with special needs, and animals that require extra patience, medication, or individualized attention. What makes me different is the connection I build with each animal. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of communicating. I take the time to earn their trust, making sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, anxious, or simply enjoys quiet company, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. Over the years I’ve helped reinforce good manners, redirect unwanted behaviors through positive interactions, and create calm, enriching experiences that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion. When your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is receiving dependable, compassionate, one-on-one care. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and extended stays, making me a great fit for vacations, business trips, weekend getaways, or whenever your pet simply deserves a loving companion. I can’t wait to meet you and your wonderful animal family. Until then, may your pets be happy, your travels be worry-free, and a little Fur Godmother magic follow you wherever you go. ✨🤎🐾 **🧿FULL-TIME ROVER ATTENDANT🧝🏽‍♀️** 👁️👃🏽👁️ I have a pretty, flexible schedule.

Rather that’s crate training, potty training, attention and Socializing. Whatever care the pets need, first and foremost.✅ I spend lots of time outside🧘🏽‍♀️, so all dogs will get plenty outdoor time🐶. I take any and all opportunities to snuggle🐻 and go on fun adventures with animal friends.🌳🐾 I have Sit numerous of animal baby’s both young and old and enjoy animal slumber parties.🥳 If your Baby needs a bathe, I am willing to, give them the ultimate bubble spa bathe.😶‍🌫️ I am also known to make homemade dog treats.🥓🥩Let your fur baby be spoiled by me!💅🏼 Some people have told me, I’m the female version of Dr.dolittle. 🧚🏽‍♀️But I credit my fur baby attraction success✨ by understanding that it’s the animal world🐾🌏 and I’m just living in it🤸🏽‍♀️.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. I grew up caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and it's something I've genuinely enjoyed throughout my life. I also have a year of hands-on experience bathing and grooming dogs, and I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. When I was younger, I spent a summer helping my aunt with her pet-sitting business in another state. That experience showed me how rewarding it is to care for pets and gave me the confidence to pursue pet sitting myself. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and open availability. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve without feeling rushed. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I'm able to adapt to each pet's individual needs and provide consistent, dependable care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and keep their daily routine as consistent as possible. I also treat every client's home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit or staying overnight, you can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Temecula Ranchos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Temecula Ranchos on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,756 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Temecula Ranchos. 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 Temecula Ranchos. 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 Temecula Ranchos.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Temecula Ranchos. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
