Abby did a great job with our dog Ritmo while we were on vacation. It was the first time we used this service and we couldn't have been more lucky. She took care of our baby like it was her own. If you are looking for someone responsible, trustworthy and loving to your pet Abby is highly recommended. Thank you

About: I have spent a lot of time pet sitting family dogs, including powerful breeds like Pitbulls, Belgian Malinois, and German Shepherds. This hands-on experience taught me exactly how important structure and leash training are for a safe environment. Being a shorter person, I prefer to specialize in walking small dogs, medium dogs, or larger dogs who are already trained on the leash and calm when seeing others. Although I do have experience walking dogs who pull or get too excited, I want to ensure safety for your pet, myself, and others around me. However, if your larger pup is still working on their leash manners, I am more than happy to care for them entirely at home, focusing on indoor playtime, backyard fun, and tons of love! I am also a cat mom of 4 and love all types of cats. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am able to offer open availability for your pets. Whether your pup or kitten needs a last-minute check-in, a mid-day walk or your pet requires strict, timely medication schedules, I am around to help. From Monday-Friday, I may be unavailable to do drop-in or walks until 1pm, unless it’s before 8am. Please connect with me & I will let you know if I can! When I am in your home, safety and respect for your space are my priorities. I treat your home with care, ensuring doors are securely locked, gates are latched, and your home is left exactly as I found it. I can follow strict instructions to ensure that your pet’s needs are met. I also love sending quick photo updates with every visit, so you have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My home is also equipped to handle pets safely and comfortably. I have a completely fenced backyard for secure outdoor playtime and bathroom breaks. To ensure everyone's safety, I also have a dedicated den space, allowing me to keep guest pets entirely separate from my four cats whenever needed. This setup ensures a stress free environment for both your pet and my own.

About: I’ve worked at a Dog daycare/ boarding facility for 3+ years where we groomed, bathed, gave meds, played with, and even snuggled the dogs. I have 4 German Shepherds of my own at home that I love dearly and 2 cats as well :). I am a big animal lover and think all animals deserve to be loved no matter what size or breed. I am very experienced with dogs and cats and will do my best to cater to your needs and make sure your fur baby is always happy with me :) I have a full time job where I’m able to pic my own schedules so whenever you need me to be available I can always make it work around my schedule no problem! I am very flexible!! To keep your pet comfortable in your home, I love making homemade allergy free dog treats (especially during the summer when it’s hot). If it’s my first time meeting your dog I will be sure to give him as much space/time needed to get used to me especially if they’re shy. I will stick closely to their daily routine, Consistency is a big thing. I will make sure to give the dog any attention but on their terms so they’re fully comfortable with me and pay close attention to their body language.

About: I have been caring for animals of many kind since I was 11 years old. In my life, I have owned many dogs and cats and have always been a trusted pet care giver since a young age. I currently live on a small farm with 2 dogs, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks, so I am no stranger to loving and caring for animals. I am a trusted pet sitter and caretaker for family, friends, and neighbors. They know when their animals are in my care, they are safe, loved, and well cared for. I always take extra care and caution to ensure safety of all animals in my care. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and spend most of my day caring for my own animals while my children are at school. I find myself having time in the day, primarily weekdays, where I can spend time assisting others in caring for their animals. My schedule during the week is fairly flexible to help meet the needs of my clients. Safety is my #1 priority. When I am caring for you animals, I ensure gates are locked, animals are secure, and food and water is accessible as needed. I have several habits to ensure I am following all instructions to include checklists and snapping photos of locked gates for ease of mind for myself and my clients.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities and truly love spending time with animals. I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every pet like family. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life, including my sweet RayRay, who taught me so much about patience, love, and the special bond we share with our pets. I recently adopted my French Bulldog, Ichabod (“Iggy”), and I’m continuing to learn and understand each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I love being able to include pets in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Creating a safe and comfortable space for pets is very important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pay attention to the little things — their habits, boundaries, and what helps them feel relaxed. In my home or yours, I’ll treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs my entire life so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I currently have a dog and two cats, and I'm also trusted in my neighborhood and amongst family and friends as someone to watch their animals when they're gone. Im a full time college student but I usually always have my own animals in my bedroom with me, sitting under (or on top of) my desk while I work. I have a friendly dog who absolutely loves play dates, so your dog would never get bored. My backyard is quite large so the dogs have tons of room to run around and play. The fences are regularly checked for holes under them to ensure our dog can't get out. I also have two large cat cages in my home where each of my cats sleep, but if needed, they can sleep in the same cage and the other one can be used to provide your pet some privacy, with their own food and water dishes. I have many many many interactive cat toys so even while i'm working, they can play with the toys that are attached to my desk and walls, along with scratching posts.

Whether your companion has medical conditions, anxiety, or simply thrives on routine and structure, I deliver high-quality, attentive service with compassion and precision. I’m trained in pet CPR, fully capable of administering medications (oral, topical, or injectable), and committed to following your care instructions down to the last detail. Every pet in my care is treated as an individual, with their own routine, preferences, and personality respected and nurtured. My home is a calm, child free environment impeccably clean, fully fenced, and designed with your pet’s safety and comfort in mind. Just steps away from a quiet local park, it’s perfect for peaceful, private walks tailored to your pet’s pace and energy level. My services are designed for owners who want true, individualized care — not just a place to drop the dog off. There’s no overcrowding, no pack-style dynamics, and no risk of neglect or exposure to unnecessary stress, illness, or injury that often comes with kennel-style boarding. I understand that for many, pets are family, and I believe they deserve a level of care that reflects that. Whether you’re traveling, working, or just need an extra hand, I provide peace of mind by offering the kind of care I’d want for my own beloved companions: warm, structured, and reliably exceptional. Let’s make sure your dog’s time away from you feels like a second home — one that’s safe, serene, and completely in tune with their needs 💕✨ (I’m not limited to Dogs, and Cats, I love and have experience in all pet types ) Quality✨ > Quantity 💕Ask me about a discount on your Second Booking💕 Link for $20 off NEW rover customers https://www.rover.com/sit/jasmir75389 Pet care fits so naturally into my life because my boyfriend works from home and takes care of the bills, which gives me the freedom to focus on doing what I truly enjoy spending time with animals.

Naia is lovely for people and pups alike. She was kind enough to listen to my worries and report back on them after walks in early days. Now that we're having her walk out pup more regularly they have gotten into a rhythm with each other and I can tell my doggie enjoys her outings. Naia is always on time as well. Working with her is an easy experience for such an important job.

About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had a ♥ for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and a mini pig. A plus for me is that I have been a foster for Animal Rescue of Tracy for 10+ years now, so I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats, from those who need special medication to rambunctious dogs to newborn kittens. There is no animal you can give me that I will not love, pet, cuddle, and care for. 🌷 I am a responsible 25 year old who has been caring for animals my whole life. This is my first Rover account, but I have been pet sitting in the Tracy community for 10 years. I live on 1.5 acres with 25 + animals, so I am very experienced and would love to help out with your furry friends! :) I'm currently working part-time with the majority of my work being remote so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! 🏡 I live on 1.5 acres of property so your dogs will have plenty of space to run around, play, and relieve themselves. Depending on your dog's friendliness, they can remain inside with my two small dogs, or I can keep them in our supervised dog run area just for them. If you have cats, they will be contained in their own area in my house so that they do not run and hide, as new environments tend to cause anxiety. 🏠 If house sitting, I make the animals feel as comfortable as possible to ease any stress of their owners being away. Pets & play are always guaranteed. I also send pictures everyday & when asked! ⭐ My routine is simple: follow your directions on feeding, walking, medication if needed, and I will handle the other most important part: giving them lots of love!

Anissa came and walked my dog for a couple days and agreed to a meet and greet to discuss expectations beforehand. She was very professional and kind to me and my dog Freya. She asked about all sorts of habits and made sure to give my baby not only the exercise but lunch and refilled her water, she also sent pictures of the walk. Literally the best experience I could have hoped for. I will be booking her again! And I would recommend her.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Vernalis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,300 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Vernalis. 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 Vernalis. 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 Vernalis.

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 Vernalis. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
