About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 14. I've grown up with two German Shepherd/Lab mixes, an Australian Cattle Dog, a Terrier, and a Chihuahua. That means I am comfortable with tiny dogs to big, high-energy ones. I am also currently taking care of a husky named Stewie for a friend who is a Marine. This shows how willing I am to help out, and I think of them as one of my own. I am currently available during the weekdays, Mon-Fri. I can do mornings and afternoons between 9 am and 3 pm. I can do weekends as well, mostly in the morning. I can do a 15 - 30 minute walk. If you have any specific accommodations, I am more than welcome to listen and help out as much as I can. Honestly, I love the apartment I live in because we have a small dog park and a pet spa! My apartment has a convenient shower station for pets. That is one of the reasons why I chose this apartment, actually. The dog I take care of right now, Stewie, is a hyper-energetic dog that I normally take out three times a day for 15 mins or longer and interacts with any dog or person. I'm casually sparking up a chat with my neighbors who are also walking their dog lol.
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.
“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: Hi! My name is Devin, and I’m a dependable animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. Over the past 10–11 years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities from small breed dogs and cats to large dogs weighing up to 80 pounds. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, senior pets, shy animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m an active person who genuinely enjoys getting outside with dogs. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk, an energetic run, or simply spending time exploring new sights and smells, I love helping pets stay physically and mentally engaged. In my free time, I often take my own pets to the beach to enjoy fresh air, socialization, and a little water play. Watching them have fun while staying active is one of my favorite parts of being a pet owner, and I’d love to provide that same level of care and enrichment for your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently offering: * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * House sitting * Overnight pet care I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and healthy. I enjoy being active, so adding dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays fits well into my schedule. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, consistency, and plenty of affection, and I make time to provide that level of care for every pet I look after. I always strive to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you know they’re doing well. For dogs, I’m happy to provide walks, play sessions, or even a run if that’s part of their normal routine. For cats, I take a patient approach and let them interact at their own pace while making sure they receive fresh food and water, a clean litter box, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.
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’ve been caring for dogs for over a year, building hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident throughout the stay. 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 💛
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, care their pets when they need to did something. My schedule is pretty flexible and if I’m available to sitter your baby I will take care of them all the time and with much loves that your pet deserves I’ve a balcony in my house, by the way my home is an apartment And I have a lot of pet toys to play. Here I walk to then for 4-8 hours around my condominium! And in my home dogs is allowed to climb on the beds, sofas, etc…
About: I have volunteered at Greendog Foundation, a non-profit dog rescue that holds adoption events for many dogs. The events would last a couple hours, within that time I would learn a few details about each dog, make sure the food and water bowls were filled, play and walk with one dog at a time, and introduce them to any individuals who were interested in adopting. Every adoption event would present me to discover the unique personality of each dog as well as meeting other individuals who love dogs as much as I do. Overall, my community service hours turned out to be one of my favorite hobbies and this was because every dog enjoyed my presence as much as I did theirs. My everyday pet care experience also starts at home with my best friend named Timber. He is a beautiful male yorkie that has showed me unlimited amounts of love and fun times in the seven years we've been together. We walk twice a day, play soccer in my backyard, and cuddle when we are both done with a long day. Now that I am away from home, time with my own dog has been cut short and it definitely has been lonelier. I would love to incorporate pet care to my college lifestyle by walking and sitting any dogs that are near my area throughout the week! I like to have clear communication with owners about any necessary information I may need while taking any pets for a walk or drop-in visits. I also enjoy making sure the pet is comfortable with me, almost like making a new friendship. Lastly, I like to be transparent about my schedule in order to demonstrate the best work ethic I know I can provide for you and your pets!
“Lauren has been amazing so far! During our first meet and greet we were impressed with her confidence and knowledge with training and behavior. This is key for us since we have bullies and they really need to know who the pack leader is. Lauren is very personable and you can tell that she takes pride in what she does. She is also great with communication. While we did run into some unexpected challenges as our pups familiarize themselves with a new walker, Lauren has been committed. We highly recommend Lauren for pet services!”

“Jaida and I had a great video chat prior to her meeting and taking care of my dog. She was great and accommodating to all my requests, helped me feed her after a 30 minute walk. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”

About: I've house sat for some families in the past and sometimes did just some drop ins to check on family fur babies. I've enjoyed all of it! Taking care of my pet is one of the most grounding parts of my day. Whether it is starting the morning with a playful greeting, making sure they have everything they need to stay healthy and happy, or simply winding down together in the evening, those quiet moments of connection make all the responsibility entirely worth it. I currently would not be able to do in home care. I do hope to be able to provide this service in the near future.
About: Hi, I’m Sam! Dogs have been part of my life since my childhood, and it’s truly an honor to care for them. Over the past five years, I’ve fostered dozens of dogs and volunteered at local shelters, giving me an lot experience with different breeds, personalities, and needs. Connecting with dogs comes naturally to me, and nothing fulfills me more than creating joyful moments and helping them thrive. My own dog, Blue, has been my greatest teacher over the last six years. He’s shown me just how sweet life can be when you slow down and nurture your relationships. I’ve taken several dog training workshops and have worked on basic skills with my own dog, my fosters, and shelter dogs. If you’d like, I can incorporate training into our walks—practicing leash manners, recall, or even teaching them to run alongside a bike. Whether your dog is playful, timid, sensitive, or reactive, I strive to meet them where they are, creating a space where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My goal is for every walk or outing to leave your dog mentally and physically fulfilled, returning home calm and content. I’m available for neighborhood walks, at-home visits, and more active outings like hikes or bike runs (for dogs trained for it, or if you’d like me to work on this skill with them). I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible during the week, and I’m often available on weekends. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a meet and greet. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Happy to follow your instructions for any at home protocols you have with your dog. I can crate the dog if needed, administer medication, any also help with any small household tasks (picking up mail, etc.) while I’m dropping off / picking up your dog.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
SHE WAS AWESOME!!!! Would 10000% hire her again to walk my babies. She went above and beyond in every step of the process for my 2 dogs. She was very kind and responded very quickly and with professionalism. Both of my dogs are super leash reactive and she had no issues handling them. One of my dogs is also a pain to get back in the crate, and she did great putting them away. I could tell in the photos and notes she left for me that she really cares about my pets! Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend choosing her as your walker.

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.

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!!

Matt was amazing with our three pit bulls!!! The are usually very cautious especially with men, but there was something special about him that they we drawn to. They felt very at ease with him! He interacted very well with the fur babies and my husband and I! He’s very professional, punctual, and such a friendly and warm demeanor. We look forward to him joining the pack!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Vista is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,958 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 Vista. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Vista after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
