About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!

About: I have had dogs my whole life, but truly love all pets! I started pet sitting when I was about 12 for my neighbor. Since moving from home, I have had various dog sitting and dog walking jobs. I love any type or size of pet, and would absolutely love to care for yours! I am unavailable Monday through Thursday form 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm. Any time outside of that block, I am happy to help! From my childhood home, my dogs have always have free-reign of the house and backyard. They tend to chose the backyard more when it's not too hot. In my current place of residence, I cannot board pets of any kind.

About: Hello, I’m Dani! I am so fortunate to be doing what I love most- caring for animals and helping them thrive with their families. Whether it’s making sure they get the daily exercise they need, a quick potty break, feeding, or check-in while you’re away from home, I am honored to be considered for your pet care needs. I am a former Vet Tech and a lifelong animal lover. I have over 25 years of experience caring for cats and dogs in a professional setting, as well as my own 3 pets. I have volunteered and fostered for many local rescue organizations over the years and enjoy staying involved with animal welfare and rescue. Animal care is my greatest passion and I hope to share that with your special fur babies! Currently I am available for the following: weekday and/or weekends for drop-in visits, feedings, short potty walks or longer walks/hikes, house sitting, and/or in-home daycare and dog boarding. For additional peace of mind, I am certified in pet CPR and first aid. If your dog or cat has special needs or requires a custom care plan, no problem! I am able to administer injections and medications as needed. I will treat your pet with the same loving care and attention to detail that I would give my own. Keeping your pets safe, healthy and happy is my top priority.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian but ended up being a nurse because I thought I would be too sad with sick animals. It wasn’t until I took care of my elderly dog Lucky that I realized I did have it in me to give sick animals that extra love and patience. I have experience with dogs, chickens, bunnies, horses, cows, and cats. I like cats but I’m allergic, sorry! Odds are if there’s a dog at a party I’m hanging out with the dog from the minute I get there up until it’s time to go. I love going for walks around different parts of the city to clear my mind from a stressful work week. Let me know if I can help care for your pup! I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week and I’m usually free 4 days a week unless I pick up extra! The days that I work I start as early as 10am as late as 3pm so I can stop by before work if need be. Pets are family. I would treat your pup just as it was my own and give it the love, care, and attention they need. I know finding pet care can be difficult, but you also want someone trustworthy. I’ve been background checked to get my nursing license and have to behave very well to keep it. I would take this opportunity just as serious.

About: I have a deep experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups needing a gentler pace. I’m especially patient, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a rescue chihuahua named Diego, and over the years I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and family, handling medications, special diets, and quirky personalities with ease. I also never underestimate the power of a good belly rub or a well-timed treat. Pet care fits great into my schedule—I’m a retired LAPD officer now working part-time from home, so I’ve got the flexibility to give your pets the attention they need, when they need it. My days aren’t rushed, and I actually like planning around walks, feedings, and cuddle breaks. It’s a pretty sweet upgrade from chasing bad guys. Pets in my home are treated like family—just with more treats and fewer chores. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is carefully supervised and handled on leash to ensure safety. Inside, there’s plenty of comfortable space for lounging, cuddling, or doing their own thing. My dog Diego (a rescue chihuahua) serves as the welcoming committee and takes his role very seriously. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable and secure from day one.

About: My name is Faith and I am studying to become a veterinarian. I care deeply about animals and have always been interested in veterinary medicine. I've worked at a veterinary clinic for three years and I am currently employed at the UC Davis VMTH as a veterinary technician. I have gained experience administering oral and injectable medications, as well as monitoring vitals and blood glucose. I have walked dogs for 10 years and I have cared for animals in their own homes for 8 years. I've cared for 5 pets at one time in my house and I have experience working with many animals including cats, reptiles, and pocket pets. My availability is open and I am flexible with dates and times. I have minimal work at the moment so I have plenty of time for drop-ins, walks and I can even bring my work to stay with your pet at home where they’re most comfortable. I like to make sure that your pet is stimulated and happy when you’re away so you don’t have to worry about them and you can enjoy your time.

About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets with love, patience, and attention to detail. I understand how important your pets are to your family, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you are away. I am very responsible with feeding schedules, active walks, playtime, and following any specific care instructions you provide for your furry friends. I am currently studying English online, which gives me a very flexible routine and plenty of free time every day. Because of this schedule, I am available daily to spend full quality time caring for, feeding, and giving attention to your pets. Pets in my care are never left unattended and will always be under constant supervision in a safe, secure, and clean environment. I treat every animal with love, caution, and care to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and completely secure at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of fish, birds, turtles, cats, and dogs! Every animals is different with their feeding routine, exercise, temperament, I do my absolute best to ensure that all their needs are met the same way you do it to ensure you and your pet feel comfortable. I have worked for a dog trainer/boarder, so I am familiar with working with reactive dogs and following what they need and have taken care of lat least 5 pets on my own! My goal is to treat your loved one with the care and affection they deserve so that you know you made that right choice. I am a full time college student and have a part-time job. I’m available all day Tuesday and the weekend as well as the afternoon for Monday and Wednesday - Friday I have much experience taking care of pets in their own home and meeting their specific needs whether that be multiple medications in the morning and evening, making their food with some extra steps, or even making a mini fort for them before I leave the home to make them feel comfortable! I currently live with a slightly reactive dog so for the safety of everyone involved I do not board animals in my home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ventura

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ventura is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 2,035 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ventura. 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 Ventura. 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 , 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 Ventura 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ventura. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
