“I booked Beverly for consecutive walks with my dog while I’m away at work and I am so glad I did! It was very apparent that Beverly was very knowledgeable with working with dogs. Beverly communicates really well before, during, and even after the walks! It really gave me peace of mind to know that my dog was in amazing hands! Would without a doubt re-book with Beverly again!”

About: Hello, I’m Krystal 👋🏼 I am so excited to meet your furry family members! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and because my entire family still has dogs, I am constantly around them. Having previously owned a Doberman, I am entirely comfortable, confident, and experienced with large breeds and strong dogs, I love small dogs, too. From high-energy pups who need tons of exercise to sweet, gentle giants and tiny lapdogs, I am ready to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. I promise to treat your beloved pet with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give to my own family’s dogs. I can't wait to give your pup a fun, safe, and happy experience. I work from home full-time, which gives me a highly flexible schedule. Because I am remote, your pet will have constant company, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. Growing up around dogs of all sizes and energies—including my own Doberman—means I know how to read dog body language and maintain a secure environment. My apartment has a patio in the back, your pet can catch some sun there if needed, too.

About: I've been around dogs for most of my life, growing up with around Golden Retrievers to Maltipoos from the age of 2 through 13. That experience taught me that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. I take the time to understand each pet's needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I adapt to their energy and preferences. I'm naturally patient, calm, and detail-oriented, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I'm currently building my own business, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as adjust my day to fit your pet's routine and needs. I live in a condo with outdoor areas and shared grass spaces within the community, providing a comfortable environment for walks and playtime. In my home or a client's home, I prioritize following each pet’s routine, respecting their space, and staying attentive to their individual needs, habits, and comfort levels.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have a spacious home with a large backyard and a friendly small dog who loves having new company. I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I typically take my dog out for a walk every few hours for some exercise and fresh air. I also live with my family, so even if I need to step out for an errand, there is usually someone home to keep your pet company. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and a friendly dog of my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or crate time if needed. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away.

About: I can take care of all breeds and sizes. I’m in the very beginning of my RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician) program and am looking to get more experience then the average bear with dogs and cats. :) I am a college student with plenty of time on my hands so caring for your pets fits perfectly into my schedule along with studying lol :) I use a calm and gentle approach when caring for animals in my home; however, I do sound assertive with commands just so my buddy knows the rules and therefore also knows what treats come after following them.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the type of person who treats them like family. I currently have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Copper (7) and Oso (3), so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and stimulation. I’m an active person and genuinely enjoy being outside, so I’d love to take your dog on walks, hikes, or even runs if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also comfortable with puppies and can help with things like potty training and reinforcing basic training while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat Copper and Oso. I’d love to meet your fur babies! I attend school every other day and try to do homework over the weekends, so I’d be available All day Monday and Wednesday and Friday mornings! I have had dogs all my life and will always be sure that the pets I am trusted with are always safe and in good hands!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah — a licensed, insured, Pet CPR/First Aid certified pet care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience. I provide calm, structured, home-style care for dogs who do best in a smaller, quieter environment rather than a loud, chaotic facility. My home is set up for comfort, routine, and supervision — where dogs can relax, play, nap, and settle in naturally. I’m home full-time and keep my group intentionally small so each dog gets real attention, not just rotation-based care. Some dogs love playtime, some prefer lounging, and others just want to be near a human — I adjust to what helps each dog feel safe and comfortable. Meet & greets are required for all new dogs. I only accept dogs who are social, manageable, and able to coexist respectfully with people and other dogs. If a dog is not a good fit for my environment, I won’t move forward — safety and stability always come first. I’m experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, shy dogs, and dogs who benefit from a calmer pace. If you’re looking for personalized care in a real home with an experienced sitter — not a crowded kennel — I’d love to connect. I’m home full-time, and caring for dogs is part of my daily routine from morning to night. Pups start their day with breakfast, outside time, and gentle play or walks. Throughout the day, I balance playtime, enrichment, and rest so everyone stays happy and relaxed. Evenings are calm — think cuddle time, soft music, or a cozy movie while everyone settles in. I keep each dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel safe and comfortable right away I have a secure fenced yard, safety gates, and one friendly resident dog who was raised in a doggy daycare environment and helps new guests feel at ease. I keep my group small so each dog gets personal attention and close supervision. Dogs are matched by energy and comfort level — some love to play, others prefer to relax. I can easily crate if needed, but most guests feel right at home free-roaming under calm, watchful care.

About: Need someone to care for your fur baby? I’m your person! Certified in giving love, belly rubs, and compliments like “who’s the best dog ever?” (spoiler alert, it’s yours). I’ve spent over eight years working hands-on with animals, from volunteering at humane societies and rescues to caring for pets in boarding, daycare, and grooming. I may be a retired groomer, but my soft spot for clean paws and wagging tails is forever. Whether your pup is shy, sassy, or a total goofball, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely adored. Animals have always been my world, and I truly believe nothing beats that tail-wagging, pure-love greeting when you walk through the door. I’ll treat your pets like family, the kind of family that gets spoiled and praised all day long. Pet care fits into my day the same way coffee does… it’s a must! I love starting and ending my days with wagging tails, happy paws, and a few goofy zoomies. My schedule’s flexible, so I plan everything around walks, meals, cuddles, and playtime. Basically, if your pet’s happy, my day’s already a win. Keeping your pets happy and safe is my full-time mission. I follow all your instructions like a pro, from meals to walks to any special care your furry friends need. I bring plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and unsolicited affirmations so your pets feel loved, spoiled, and totally in charge while you’re away. Basically, I make sure they have the best day ever, every day.

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 West Covina. 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 West Covina 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.

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
