“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Kateryna has been an amazing walker! Our feisty girl Eve loves her and really listens to her. Not only does she come back from walks fulfilled and tired I have also noticed a difference in her overall listening and leash training. 10/10!”
“Olga is very good! Really do like her but communication could have been done better since I gave clear instructions in advance, nothing wrong with this at though!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I’m also a proud pet parent to two cats and a dog, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with them. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats over the years, and I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat wants some attention and cuddles, or your pet just needs someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being taken care of! I’m currently in school so I have a lot of flexibility for drop in visits throughout the day! I’m available during the week as well as weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, keeping their routines comfortable and familiar. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and secure.
“Kelly is amazing! I can’t recommend her enough. She is so friendly, has lots of experience and overall excellent communication. She was so patient with my anxious dog and has such a kind and gentle spirit.”
“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”
“Jenny was quick to respond, flexible and awesome with Ryan. He can be a wild puppy to walk but was great for her. They walked a few miles and two hours. She gave him treats and water on the way. Highly recommend and will use Jenny again! Thanks!”
“Agne is wonderful! I was able to enjoy my trip without worries knowing that my dog was in such good hands. In every photo, it was clear that my dog was having a great time 💕 best sitter ever!”
“Emily is incredible! She has been walking our 2 (big) dogs for about 2 weeks now and the boys are loving the walks. Emily is very alert to all their needs and is even helping to train them along the way. Booking with Emily was super easy and she always responds quickly to any/all messages. I would definitely recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Olivia is a great dog walker! She genuinely cares for the pets and makes sure they're taken care of before she leaves them. My Daisy looked forward to her daily visits and got so excited to see her open the door to greet her. Would definitely reach out to Olivia again for future services. Daisy will be so happy to see her again!”
“Susan has been walking our dogs 1-2x a week for at least 6 months now and we couldn’t be happier. Our dogs love her and Luna and look forward to their walks. Susan is very trustworthy!”
“Mia did a great job walking our energetic boy Luka and always made sure he had water after their walks. He was always excited to see her. Mia left plenty of info on the report card and would send separate messages with more detail of Lukas walk which was always very helpful. Communication was always great and we would definitely book again in the future.”
About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
About: Animals have always been my passion and your pet's well-being will always come first. I work in a very timely manner and am proactive to let you know about how your pet is doing! I split my time between providing services on Rover, and working at Contra Costa Animal Services. A portion of my proceeds from bookings is donated to the shelter each month.🐶🐱💕 I have open availability, my schedule is Sunday - Saturday, with earliest appointments at 8AM and latest at 8PM. I keep my calendar updated regularly. **Services from June-Sept will be extremely limited in availability due to medical leave** Caring for pets in your home requires trust and respect. I keep to the main community areas of your home and require access to one bathroom. I will assume any other place as off-limits unless otherwise specified. Supplies such as leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, etc. that you provide will be returned back to their original location. Keys can either be left in a hidden lock box or on my person - I take care to properly label and safely store any keys to ensure they are returned when my stay is over.
“It was my first time using Rover and Kim made me feel at ease with the process. She was very flexible and communicative. My dog seem to adapt to Kim very quickly and looks like she enjoyed her walks. I will book with Kim again in the future if I need a dog walker.”
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
“My German Shepard absolutely loves Katja. Katja is just amazing with him. He waits patiently at the door for her to show up to take him on walks every single time. It’s super adorable! Katja is so kind, fun and responsible. We love her and feel so lucky to have found her.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Walnut Creek is $26
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Creek
Kat is absolutely amazing with Mira. What stands out most is how thoughtful and communicative she is — she always keeps me updated and genuinely goes above and beyond. On hot days, she’ll message me ahead of time to let me know how she’s adjusting the walk or playtime to keep Mira comfortable, like finding a shady area. She gives me updates on what kind of play and training they’re doing, always comes prepared with plenty of training treats, and clearly has a ton of experience working with dogs. She also takes great photos and videos of Mira and goes out of her way to send them afterward along with a thoughtful update about how their time together went. You can tell she genuinely cares about Mira and enjoys spending time with her. It honestly feels like I’m getting so much more than a dog walker — there’s a level of attention, training, communication, and genuine care that I really appreciate. And best of all, Mira is always so happy to see her. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Kat and would recommend her without hesitation.
Courtney did an excellent job of walking our senior dog, Ernie, for us this morning! She provided great communication, arrived on time and gave Ernie lots of attention. We could tell that Ernie immediately liked Courtney and seemed very comfortable and happy! 🐾💕
I wanted to write a new review since my last review was in May when I had my first walk by Emily. I wanted to come to rover and give an updated review. Emily is extremely caring and responsive. She gives detailed updates, sends cute pictures and takes really great care of my dog Ronnie (who is high energy and strong). I feel like I always can rely on her and will continue to use her moving forward as one of my dog walkers. thank you Emily for being so great.
We have had wonderful experiences working with Kelly. Our dog hasn’t had much exposure to new people and can be a bit nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to help our dog feel comfortable, and we were so impressed with how quickly trust developed. She was also extremely communicative, keeping us updated and answering any questions we had, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. In addition, Kelly has been very flexible and willing to help us coordinate dog sitting coverage during an important time for our family. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for our dog has truly stood out. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker or pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Walnut Creek on Rover is $27.75 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 12,996 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Walnut Creek. 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 Walnut Creek. 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 Walnut Creek.

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 Walnut Creek. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
