Did great with our dogs! Our dogs seemed really happy, even for our more anxious dog he did a great job of handling her and making her feel comfortable.

Very reliable, a genuine animal lover! Alex takes lots of pictures too, so I know Gertie had fun. Being a puppy Gertie is a handful and we really appreciate the help.

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.

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’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.

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 grew up with pets, and I take care of them as family. I want to extend that kindness to everyone’s pets. Thank you for picking me. I am currently working full time, so I am only available on the weekends. I am available on Saturday and Sunday from 8am- 6pm. Your pets will always be cared for. In my home, I feed my cat and dogs breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I play with both so neither are bored. I walk my dog for about 30 min to 1 hr.

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: I’ve raised dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens, pigs, and taken care of other people’s dogs for awhile now. I love all animals and figured I could use my free time to help yours out! Im currently in between jobs so I have time. Long walks, cuddles, treats are all on the agenda. I really enjoy the company and love animals so much. Pups are safe at my home. So I’m available for day care, and possible overnights if discussed. Drop ins are no problem all day within a 10 mile radius of my work in Oceanside, and on weekends within a 15 mile radius of my home in vista.

About: I’m an incoming Aerospace Engineering student at UC Davis and a Regents Scholar who takes pride in being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. In addition to several years of caring for my family’s three cats, I’ve also helped care for dogs by walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and providing general supervision. Professionally, I’ve worked with children ages 8–13, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, communication, and attention to detail. I understand the importance of following routines, keeping others safe, and earning the trust of families. Whether I’m caring for your pets or watching your home, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would my own, while providing dependable service and regular updates for your peace of mind. Pet care is my primary focus this summer, and I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide consistent care while respecting each pet’s normal routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I always make time for feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to provide updates and photos upon request so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. My priority is keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine by carefully following all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if instructions are provided), and household preferences. I always use secure leashes during walks, pay close attention to my surroundings, and treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and communicating promptly if any concerns arise. As an incoming UC Davis Aerospace Engineering student and Regents Scholar with professional experience supervising children, I take responsibility seriously and strive to earn your trust through dependable, attentive care.

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 a dog walker for about a year and have my own little guy at home! I feel that pets are a true part of the family and require tons of love, care, and belly rubs of course! I am currently in-between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups. I’m looking for a part time job so that I can continue to see doggies on the side. I have a small back area behind my house where your dogs can play and potty. I also have my own dog at home, a 9 year old terrier mix, so if you need your puppy to stay with me, they’ll have to get along with other dogs. I can also crate dogs if necessary.

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: Hi! I'm a reliable and experienced animal lover with a lot of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. I'm responsible, I follow directions well and I can be flexible in providing unique care for any of your animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, grooming or extra attention while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm currently a part time college student and part time employee, but I have plenty of time in the mornings, evenings and occasional gaps in my schedule to care for your pets depending on their needs. I can provide enriching activities during those times for your pets whether that's going on a walk or run with your dog or play time with your cat along with all other necessary tasks. I am good at following directions, so you can provide me with a feeding, grooming and exercise schedule and I will make sure to follow it and update you on your pet!

About: I’ve been taking care of my brothers’s dogs for years. As a former early childhood teacher, I have a lot of energy and patience. I don’t exaggerate when I say animals gravitate towards me! I recently left my teaching job and have a lot of availability. I’m spending time at home working on my writing, tutoring business and jiu jitsu. I’m very communicative with the pet owner and like to follow a plan. I understand that every dog has their own needs and I tailor my services for each pet.

Sam was wonderful to work with! Pepper is a little cautious around new people (she prefers to conduct interviews from under the bed 😄), and Sam was patient, kind, and respectful of her pace. Communication was excellent, and when Pepper unexpectedly got sick and we had to cancel the remaining walks, Sam was incredibly understanding and compassionate. We really appreciate her professionalism and look forward to working with her again when Pepper is back in Vista.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Vista

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.
