About: I have tons of experience with all kinds of animals. I have loved and cared for: -kittens, senior cats, and pregnant cats -puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs I’ve also had birds, fish, and bunnies. I have also volunteered with horses and other farm animals, although I’ve never personally owned any. I am currently a college student and a manager at an ice cream shop. I’m looking to help my community and fill my time! I work most days but, most of my classes are online. I am willing to be flexible! I am very particular when it comes to client care. I don’t believe you can “spoil” an animal because they’re our babies! Let’s take care of them the best we can together. Any requests for pet care are fine by me as long as the animal is safe and happy! My animals(I have 3 dogs and 2 cats) all get along well, are fed well, and regularly see a vet.

About: I've had dogs of every size my whole life in every environment, and I really enjoy giving high quality treatment to the animals around me. This is currently my full time job while I apply to other places. I'm free morning noon and night for you, and your pets convenience. I have a fenced-in backyard that has been flea and tick sprayed so no critters will catch a ride on your fur baby. As for walks around your neighborhood I always carry an emergency pet care bag with me just to be safe.

Emily is a sweet young lady who immediately connected with our dog. She took him on several walks and he loved every one of them. She communicated well with pictures and a route of the walk so you know exactly where they went. We are looking forward to having her also dog sit for us in the future.

Our two dogs were happy and worn out after a half-hour walk with Belinda. She's scheduled to dog sit for us in a few weeks, and we're very confident she'll take great care of them.

About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.

Jill has been great with my 3 dogs. My youngest dog, Marley, was a little stand-offish at first. Jill was patient and was able to take him on his walks. They all enjoy getting out with Jill. She is responsive, flexible, and professional. I highly recommend Jill to take care of and walk your pets.

About: I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was young, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and overnight care. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, and pets with different personalities and routines. I'm also a dog and cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet's normal schedule and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away and to give you peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve! I'm available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine and schedule whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. I'll carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, medications, walking preferences, or special care needs you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I am respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I'm also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away!

About: I have had dogs in the home my whole life and therefore have extensive knowledge and skills to provide your animal with the best care possible, Additionally, I have experience caring for animals in a boarding facility as a kennel technician as well as in a hospital setting as a veterinary assistant. I will be able to assist with a variety of care tasks including basic grooming (baths, ear cleaning, nail trims), exercise, and medication administration of all kinds (including injections). I am a pre veterinary student hoping to enter into veterinary school within the next few years. I work 3 days a week and will have limited availability for overnight stays depending on location. Outside of that, I am able to do drop-in visits and provide your animal with enrichment, exercise, and other care tasks. My home is not available for pet boarding but I am more than happy to travel to your home to provide any necessary pet care.

About: Growing up with dogs and missing my own, I am looking to help keep dogs happy, healthy and loved by walking, hiking, play and overnights care. My kids and I like to travel and understand how hard traveling can be when you can’t take them with you. I work full time, but will soon be off for the summer. I also have most weekends free and can drop in during my lunch if close to work. I have a great dog park near our place but prefer trails. Dogs that stay with my kids and I will be well loved and treated like family. We are a dog family but aren’t ready for another pup yet. I will be the one caring for your pet, but my kids will help give your pet lots of love, attention and belly rubs.

About: Being the mother of my own fur-child in the past, I know how much your pets mean to your family. I am willing to help with frequent walks, feeding, play and activities and also vacation pet sitting. I adore all dogs ... breeds, size, age or medical condition doesn't matter. Since I haven't adopted another dog since mine passed over the rainbow bridge last year, I take great joy in taking care of other peoples dogs to fill that space only a puppy can fill. I'll be their "Aunt Holly"! And I promise I will take care of them like they are my own. My day job is done remotely, so I'm able to work from wherever I'm at during the day... even at your home with your pups as my assistants. We will be able to take our breaks outside or go for a walk or even play together. My time is very flexible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anna was absolutely wonderful with our pets! She’s very attentive, caring, and always sends detailed updates that really put us at ease. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, and she also made sure our cat had fresh food and water. We truly appreciate how responsible and thoughtful she is, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Valley Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Valley Center on Rover is $11.1 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 9,791 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Valley Center. 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 Valley Center. 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 Valley Center.

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 Valley Center. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
