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 bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." Because pet care isn't one-size-fits-all, I maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your routine. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday feeding and play segments, or dedicated evening companionship, I structure my days around making sure your pets stay on their preferred timelines. I am available for both weekday and weekend bookings, ensuring consistent, reliable care so your fur babies never miss a beat while you're away. I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.
About: I’ve volunteered with animals since I was 10, starting with rabbits at the Ventura County Animal Shelter. Since then I have gone on to own rabbits and a variety of other pets including dogs. My favorite type of dogs are basset hounds! But I’m a lover of all pets. I currently am unemployed, so have very open availability! I am willing to care of pets or take dogs for walks etc at your convenience! I have a variety of safety measures put in place at my house to separate my rabbits from dog when unsupervised. Additionally I am adept with animals with different dietary needs!
About: I have owned cats and dogs since I was a child. Currently a cat mom to 2 boys- Tony & Ozzy! Experience with cats, puppies, elderly dogs & large dogs.

“Mike was on time and courteous, and most importantly, developed an instant rapport with my skittish shepherd. He was great at handling her when she tried to bark at a little dog, and got her under control without being harsh. I feel good about him walking her alone.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so I understand the love, patience, and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide reliable, loving care. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day with a little advance notice. Because I work remotely, I'm able to be responsive and provide dependable care while giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether you need regular weekday walks or occasional help, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I have a fenced yard where your dog can feel comfortable exploring and have fun. I can also let them inside on rainy days, if need be.
About: I’ve had experience working at a dog daycare which came with lots of responsibilities including dog watching, bathing, cleaning, and feeding- including administering medications. I currently work at an animal shelter where I handle dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, weight, and breeds. Using balanced training methods, I can also offer light training (puppy teething/mouthing, basic cues, some leash manners, resource guarding, engage/disengage with reactive pups, social bridging with shy ones). I’ve also worked with deaf, blind, and tripod doggos! I currently work a full time job 4 days a week with Sunday/ Monday/ Tuesdays off. Not available the rest of the week since I work long hours. Full honesty and transparency is the way to go! Direct communication is best to achieving the best service without any miscommunications. I’m typically a quiet person, and can provide a calm environment for your pet! Safety is a priority, I’m trained in recognizing dog/cat body language and behavior- recognize when they’re content, uncomfortable, shy, anxious.
About: I taken care of and trained my own dog, a sweet Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She has passed and now I want to continue spending time with pets. I am currently working full time but am available in the evenings and weekends. On the weekends I am available all day to assist with pet care. I can follow any instructions to keep your pet safe in your home. I take precautions and try to read body language if the pet does not feel secure.
About: Hi all! I'm a student & dog enthusiast! I would love to give your pup a little extra attention while you're away! I have had labs & pitbulls, so I am comfortable with larger breeds! (As well as small ones!) I am not shy around what people would say are the 'typically scary' breeds, I think all dogs deserve love! If you have special requests, like types of activities or places you would like me to take your dog, I am happy to work with you! I am willing to give medications as long as there are specific instructions as to how and when to administer! I am relatively flexible & ideally would like to find a few regular clients in my area! Sincerely, Rikki

“Ari is a gem. Great personality, grounded, responsible and kind. Dogs have a sixth sense. When my Sofi ran into the house to greet me after her walk to say I’m back she immediately returned to Ari for some rubs. I knew then I was totally comfortable giving my sweet girl’s care to Ari. Three walks done and many more planned. Thank you, Ari, for making Sofi’s life better. She loves her walks.”

Kelsey has been providing weekly walks for Navy and is always professional, timely, thorough and loving. She gets in lots of steps for Navy during his walk and always sends the best photos so I feel updated and reassured. I’m so grateful to have Kelsey help with Navy’s care!
Mike was on time and courteous, and most importantly, developed an instant rapport with my skittish shepherd. He was great at handling her when she tried to bark at a little dog, and got her under control without being harsh. I feel good about him walking her alone.
I hired kesley to walk my dog while we were on vacation in the area and she did an incredible job!! Truly took such great care and attention to my dog and sent great updates. Would absolutely book with her again if I lived in the area. Incredibly kind, open, and communicative.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ventura on Rover is $21.4 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 2,037 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 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 Ventura.

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 Ventura. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
