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!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for family and friends for as long as I can remember. Looking after pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy! Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, bath time, playtime, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends, which allows for even more quality time, walks, play, and cuddles. I’ll do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel as relaxed as possible. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep a close eye on every pet in my care to make sure they feel safe, secure, and well loved while you’re away. I pay attention to each pet’s unique personality and body language so I can provide the care they need and avoid anything that might cause unnecessary stress. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park, giving dogs a safe place to run, play, and burn off energy during their stay. Whether we’re enjoying playtime, going for walks, or relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels right at home and has a fun, positive experience.

About: I have had animals, specifically dogs my whole life. Once I moved out I was always the go to dog sitter for friends. They trusted me to take care of their animals as if they were my own. I have personally had/pet sat for a variety of dog breeds. There is no pet too big/small, too reactive, too hyper or too stubborn for me. I personally have a XL breed dog that is highly reactive to everything and can manage him just fine. I also use to work at an amazing pet food store that taught me the ends and out of great products for pets and a lot of animal knowledge. From training, behavior issues, grooming techniques and miscellaneous pet information. Overall, I have a passion and soft spot for animals. I understand how important they are to you and your family. Currently I have open availability/flexible hours. I usually have a few things to do in the morning but after that completely free. Available weekends and most holidays. These are your pets and what you think is best for you pet, is what is best for them. I can follow any directions given, I know how to use harnesses, leashes, muzzles, pinch/choke chains. I triple check that doors are locked, triple check if their crate is locked. Anything you need me to do with your pets I am open to.

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 morning or midday walks, a last-minute check-in, or your pet requires strict, timely medication schedules, I am around to help. My open routine means I can prioritize your pet's usual schedule without any rush. 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.

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. I love being able to give dogs and cats the attention, love, and care they need, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. For me, this isn’t just work, it’s something that genuinely makes me happy!🥹💕 I provide pet care in my home, which is fully fenced and safe for both dogs and cats to roam and play freely. I do not have children, which allows me to focus entirely on giving pets the attention, love, and supervision they need. I take no more than 2 pets at a time( I have a pet of my own) to ensure that they receive personalized care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply companionship, I make sure every animal in my care feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for in a secure and nurturing environment🎀

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.

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.

About: Hi there! My name is Lyndsey, and I decided to join Rover because I simply couldn’t resist the idea of spending my free time with dogs! I have two dogs of my own and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, so I truly understand how special and precious our furry friends are. Dogs are family to me, and I absolutely love every moment I get to spend with them. Whether you need long walks, check-ins, or just some extra love and attention for your pup while you’re away, I’m here to help! I’m responsible, caring, and excited to give your dog the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and provide them with the love and attention they deserve! I currently have a full time job usually starting in the late afternoons through the evenings, but I’m fortunate that my work schedule allows me to offer pet care during the mornings, early afternoons, and at night! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and it fits perfectly into my routine. Before my workday, I’m available for walks, check-ins, or just some one-on-one playtime with your pup. If needed to stay over your house to dog sit, I can easily do so after my work hours. On my days off (Sunday & Monday), I’m flexible and can offer extended care or visits to make sure your dog gets all the love and attention they need while you’re away. Pet care is a perfect way for me to unwind and make sure your furry friend gets the care they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on maintaining a routine that’s familiar and comforting for your pet. I start by ensuring that your dog feels at ease in their environment, keeping their space clean, and following any specific instructions you’ve provided for feeding, exercise, and playtime. I make sure to give them plenty of attention, whether that’s a long walk, some fun playtime, or simply relaxing and offering companionship. If your dog has any special needs, I’m more than happy to accommodate them, whether it’s administering medication or sticking to a certain schedule. I also keep you updated with photos and messages to let you know how your dog is doing, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and cared for in the comfort of their own home.

About: I've taken care of dogs at every stage of their lives; from walking to feeding to doggie play time to post-surgical care. Loving dogs is my heart's special joy. I'm retired so I am available any time your pet needs me. I am an early riser so I can get the dogs out for a walk before the heat of the day. There's always time for a butt scratch. :-) The most important thing to me is to find out how the client wants their pet cared for in their home and meet those needs. My goal is to have a happy, healthy dog when their parents come home.

About: With a lifetime of pet ownership under my belt, I am confident caring for animals of every shape and size. I bring specialized experience to the table, including bottle-feeding and raising 4-week-old kittens, handling large breeds like Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and caring for pocket pets. I absolutely love sitting energetic puppies and know exactly how to keep them safe, engaged, and well-behaved. Your pets will receive the same level of love and meticulous attention that I give my own! Because I manage a flexible part-time schedule, pet care is a seamless and primary focus of my day. I structure my time to guarantee that the animals in my care receive consistent attention, timely feedings, and plenty of active play sessions. Whether it is adjusting to a puppy's strict bathroom schedule or accommodating evening check-ins, my routine allows me to be highly reliable and attentive to your pet's specific daily needs. Safety and peace of mind are my highest priorities when caring for any animal. I maintain a highly attentive, supervised environment to ensure all pets stay safe and secure during playtime and transitions. I am fully prepared to follow your specific household rules, crate-training preferences, or strictly separated feeding routines to prevent stress. Whether tracking strict schedules or securing the space, I treat every home and pet with the utmost vigilance and respect.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Vernalis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,343 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:

  • 85% 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.
