“Eric did a great job! I could tell from all the pics he took that my girls loved him :) honey was cuddled up in his lap, and kiwi is usually very weary of men, and she had no issues! Thanks Eric! Would book again”
“Lauren has been one of my regular dog walkers for a few months now and we couldn't be happier! My dog loves her and she takes great care of him, paying attention to the little things, like making sure he gets enough water. Shes a great communicator and flexible with my changing schedule. Cant recommend enough! Thank you Lauren!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for neighbors and friends since I was 10. I grew up with dogs, and loved helping train them. I have found great success with force free training! I am a student, so I have time during the week for dog walks and at home check ins! I may have occasional weekend availability as well, but will be able to help out most on weekdays. I don’t offer care for pets at my home, but I am happy to work with whatever requests you have. I am very flexible and happy to accommodate specific rules if needed, I know every pet has their own quirks :)
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds since age 15. I previously volunteered in the dog training school at the Humane Society in Minnesota, training puppies through adult dogs in basic skills. I have owned two large breed dogs into their senior years and currently have a pandemic pup who is now 6 years old. I will walk short and slow walks or energetic and longer walks as needed! I’m recently retired and have plenty of time now to help fellow dog owners with busy schedules keep their dogs exercised and happy. I walk daily and would love to have your pup join me. I have a smaller fenced yard and a 55 lb pup of my own. Most of her exercise is walking out in the neighborhood and if the dogs are good together we can all walk as a group. We previously had a second dog, a St Bernard, so our current pup is used to walking with other dogs.
About: I'm a reliable, caring, and active dog lover who enjoys walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. I'll treat your pup like it's my own and be sure they get plenty of attention, love, and exercise while you're away! I have always loved dogs and know how important it is to have someone you can trust care for your pet. I currently work as a restaurant server, so I have plenty of free time most days and evenings if I work during lunch. I would love nothing more than to spend my free time with your pup getting us both some sun and exercise! I currently live in an apartment so walks and drop in visits are what i'm offering! I don't have a yard so not offering in home serivices at the moment.

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.

“Mackenzie is such a flexible and reliable dog walker and I would recommend her to anyone! She is so kind and accommodating which puts my mind at ease to get my girl some exercise on days I have to work in the office. She’s the best!”
“We have been using Sarah since 2020 when she was in Newark and somehow we ended up near her again in Tracy. She is incredible. Sarah has not only walked, cared for, checked in and sat our own dogs, but has helped me care for my foster dogs/puppies while I would be away at work. Whether it was just cuddling and cleaning up their pens, or helping me determine better food or what teethers to give, Sarah has always been such a great source of guidance for us and thoroughly knows all things dogs! She communicates extremely well and is always reliable. Thankful to have had Sarah as long as we have.”

I attend hikes on so long runs on Saturday mornings and I attend church on Sunday mornings and serve in kids ministry I currently have a beloved cat, so I do not offer boarding in my own home. I provide care in the client’s home where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions.
“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.”
“Joleen is fantastic! She approaches the services she provides with a loving and authentic care for your fur baby. She goes above and beyond in keeping you informed and in creating a loving environment for your pet and she genuinely cares. Me and my dog are so blessed to have found Joleen! Thank you Joleen 🙏🏼”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. I used her for the last two weeks to walk my mom’s dog after moving my mom to a memory care facility. I needed fairly quick help and Laura pulled through. She was fantastic with the dog and is a super energetic and friendly person. Every time I got my text that she picked up the dog (which was always on time), it put a smile on my face and eased my mind. I had 100% confidence in Laura from day one! I can only think of amazing things about Laura and highly recommend her. Thank you so much Laura 🥰
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!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Vista on Rover is $24.52 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,003 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.

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:
- 93% 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.
