“Claudia has been amazing. She’s dependable, on time, communicates quickly and efficiently. Our little dog is scared of everyone, Claudia has been patient with her. Our big boy just adores her and either walks or hanging out at the house. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! I currently also have a bunny and a double doodle puppy. I have also cat sit but I am open to caring for all animals! I am currently at sophomore at the University of Utah. I have in person classes on Mondays and Wednesdays but am pretty flexible on when I can care for your pets! In my clients home, I am able to do whatever they need to make the animals comfortable. I am not offering care in my home at this time.
“I just moved to the neighborhood and was in need of a sitter to walk my dogs. Lauren responded quickly to my request. She came the next day for a meet and greet. She was so sweet with my doggies that I had no problem to leave her my house key and my dogs' care. The day she needed to come to walk my dogs, she was very punctual and sent me pictures. I really appreciated her professionalism as it was the first time I was in need of a sitter in Patchogue. For sure, I will book her services again. Thanks Lauren:)”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, providing daily care including walks, feeding, and lots of love. I truly enjoy being around animals and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility in my day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I am fully available to give pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I take care of pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks, and receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: Hello! My name is Savanna, I live in Vista but I’m able to travel reasonable distances to care for your pup! I’ve taken care of animals for over 7 years, including birds, cats and dogs (including seniors), rodents and reptiles, too! My services include grooming (ex, bathing, ear and teeth cleaning, brushing). I’ve even volunteered at numerous animal shelters. I also have experience with anxious pups, specifically dogs with separation anxiety. Unfortunately, due to physical health issues, I can’t walk dogs for more that 15 minutes at a time. Before coming to watch your furry friend, it’d be really helpful for me to know about their temperament; are they dog friendly? Do they get nervous around strangers? Do they have any health issues I should be notified of? And anything else you want me to know about them! I’m excited and eager to take care of your fluffy family member and will do my best to make sure they get the best care that I can give them! I am currently working a part time seasonal job at the Moonlight Amphitheater in Vista, nights are busy but I am extremley flexible otherwise and in the off-season. I do not currently offer my own in-home care services due to leasing issues and for my own dog's mental and physical health.

About: I have had dogs for my entire life and am very experienced with all levels of care from walking and feeding, to administering medication and light obdience and potty training. I am highly attentive, comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and dedicated to maintaining your dog's regular routine so they feel safe and loved while you're away. My schedule is currently wide open for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. I do ask for some advance notice, but I am open to accommodating same-day requests when possible. I provide a secure environment for pets in my home with at least 3 walks a day and plenty of engagement. I have a doodle who loves to have "sleepovers" with new friends. Safety is my top priority, so I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am fully able to accommodate any specific feeding schedules and administer any medications if required. I can provide the same level of service in your home as well, except I'll leave my doodle at home ☺️

About: Weekly Volunteer at Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation: animal care (cleaning aquariums, caring for tortoise & it's habitat, feeding & caring for Bingo the pig); cleaning services (pig pen, brushes, windows, freezer maintenance). Weekend volunteer at Magic to tragic: Handled interactions with the puppies while customers were asking questions. Provided support with information on the puppies from Mexico to give the puppies a better life from being strays to finding homes. Supported the team by taking turns in walking the dogs. Working at the moonlight amphitheater since May 1st helping team members set up chairs escorting patrons who are in wheelchairs to their seats, doing security, back checks, customer service and also replacing trash bags and pushing the trash cart and doing ticket scanning and attending guest with chairs coordinating guests. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule due to the fact that mostly I work in the afternoons from 5:00 to 11:30. So in the mornings I'm open to walking dogs. Due to the fact that I'm free in the mornings since I work at the moonlight theater in the afternoons as a house attendant. I care for pets by drawing on my background with volunteer organizations like Agua Hedionda and Magic to Tragic, where my responsibilities included animal care, feeding, habitat maintenance, and taking turns walking the dogs. Since I am open in the mornings, I can provide dedicated care, exercise, and attention to pets in my client's home before I head out to my afternoon shifts.

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember, so taking care of them has always been second nature. My biggest accomplishment was puppy raising a future service dog with Guide Dogs of America for 1.5 years. That meant weekly training classes, lots of patience and consistency, and learning everything from good leash manners to ignoring distractions (he was better at it than I am). Every dog has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them happiest—whether that’s long walks, playing fetch, or belly rubs! I have a flexible weekday schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by following their normal routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of love, attention, and updates while you’re away.
About: I’ve always loved animals and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and know they often need extra patience and individualized care. I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own by providing lots of attention, affection, exercise, and following their routine as closely as possible. I already care for my own dog every day, so pet care is a normal part of my routine. I make sure he has food, fresh water, exercise, attention, and a safe environment. I’m comfortable sticking to schedules and enjoy spending quality time with animals while making sure they feel happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I’ll keep a clean, calm environment, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always have fresh water and feel safe while you’re away.
About: Dogs have always felt like family to me. I grew up with them, caring for, training, and learning that dogs need more than just supervision. They need patience, structure, and a home where they feel safe. Since I work from home, I’m around most of the day to give your dog steady walks, companionship, and attention. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs structure or anxious and needs patience, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, treat them like my own, and keep you updated so you always know they’re in good hands. I work remotely, so caring for dogs fits very naturally into my day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get regular attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I'm available most days – even holidays! Just let me know what dates you're interested in booking and I'll do my best to accommodate your pup into my schedule. I keep my home clean, calm, and safe so dogs can settle in and feel comfortable while they’re here. I know every dog has their own routine, so I follow your instructions closely, including meals, walks, crate time, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I’m comfortable with crate training when needed, and I always make safety the priority, both at home and on walks. I’ll also send regular updates so you can relax and know your dog is happy, cared for, and doing well.
About: Hello my name is Melba, I grew up taking care of animals at a very young age. I volunteered for an animal shelter for six years. At the shelter I would interact with cats and dogs. I would play with them as well as take them on walks. I am comfortable around all dogs and cats and I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. While your pet is in my care you can expect for them to get all the snuggles and love that they deserve while you are away to help them ease their mind off of missing their pet parent. I’m currently working part time, which means I’m typically out of the house anywhere from 5 to 7 hours. I am available to do drop ins and house sitting, just keep in mind the hours. I provide care in your own home for house sitting to make your pet comfortable in their own home. My goal is to make sure your pet is comfortable while you are out and I easily adapt to your pets needs.
“Mireya was wonderful. We booked her last min and she just rolled with the punches. Great communication. Our little Cookie usually takes a LONG time to warm up, but she actually hung out and even ate her dinner for Mireya. Winston fell in love and I’m sure he can’t wait to see her again.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, and providing playtime. I’m comfortable with different sizes and personalities and always make sure pets feel safe and happy. I’ve made room in my schedule specifically for dog walking, so I can give each pet my full attention and keep a consistent routine. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by keeping dogs on leash, avoiding unsafe areas, and paying close attention to their behavior.

I also communicate quickly and clearly, and I’m grateful for the positive reviews from clients who trust me with their dogs! 🏡 Home afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks 🦮 Daily walks and plenty of playtime 🎾 Lots of attention, enrichment, and cuddle time 🛋️ Dogs are treated like part of the family while they’re here I care for dogs in a calm, safe, and structured environment where they can feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and rest they need while keeping a close eye on their safety at all times. My space is clean and welcoming, with a patio for supervised breaks and fresh air. I also have friendly dogs, which helps visiting pups settle in and feel more at home 💛
“Joleen is fantastic! She approaches the services she provides with a loving and authentic care for your fur baby.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
Claudia walked my reactive dog, and she was not intimidated at all by Moxxi's behavior (barking and pulling on leash if she hears/sees another animal). I appreciate having a reliable dog walker who can handle a dog like mine. Looking forward to booking her more often!

Katherine did an excellent job caring for my pup kiwi! Kiwi has a lot of quirks, and Katherine accepted all of them with open arms. She was also able to give kiwi her medication after the walk, so I was very appreciative of that as well. She responded quickly and was very kind. Will definitely be booking again!

BEST DOG SITTER/WALKER EVER!!! My dog adored her and she took the happiest photos of my pup. I don’t know how she does it, but my dog looked as happy as the day I brought her home! She took her time, extending the walk free of charge and she made the most of it, playing catch and walking far! They must’ve gone on some epic hike because they both came back out of breath lol. Highly recommend Ana!!

I had to travel but didn't want to kennel my two senior dogs as they are rescues and didn't do well in shelter. I decided to check out Rover and took the plunge to message Madison. She was very responsive and so I booked her to take care of my precious dogs. She was very kind and responded quickly to my many messages! She tools great care of my dogs and took them on long walks and was sure to give medication as requested. I highly recommend booking Madison. I will 100% be booking her again in the future.

Mireya was wonderful. We booked her last min and she just rolled with the punches. Great communication. Our little Cookie usually takes a LONG time to warm up, but she actually hung out and even ate her dinner for Mireya. Winston fell in love and I’m sure he can’t wait to see her again.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dogs! I truly appreciate the time and attention you gave them. Chelsea was wonderful she provided helpful feedback and genuinely cared about their well-being. It’s clear she has a real love for animals, and my dogs were happy and comfortable in her care. Highly recommend!

Cindy is one of my regular dog walkers and by far the most detail oriented and best communicator! She cares so much and it shows when she’s around my dog - always making sure he has water and that hes safe when walking around other dogs. Cannot recommend her enough! She takes care of my dog like he is hers :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Vista on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 10,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Vista. 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 Vista. 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 Vista.
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 Vista. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
