About: I'm open to most types of pet sitting and have a hybrid work approach so more often than not am able to stay for the majority of the day with your furry child! I love walking in general, playing with dogs, cats, and appreciate that every pet has their own personality. Pet setting has always been a source of joy in my life and creating long standing relationships with families and their pets. It is such an amazing feeling to be treated with a wagging tail or a tail straight up depending on the pet :) and know that sending photos of their fur friend is bringing peace of mind to a family. I understand how much a pet means and am willing to go the extra mile to fit your families needs. I'm a graduate student getting a masters in clinical psychology in the evenings, which means I am available most days of the week and weekend during the day. I know I'm in good company here in saying that I treat my own cat like she's a part of my family. With any animal I'm taking care of I do my best to adhere to the schedule that the pet is used to in an effort to maintain a sense of normalcy when their family is away from them. I usually like to get to know what each pet likes and make sure we are trying to do some of their favorite activities to make their time positive. I make a concerted effort to keep the home neat and tidy each day so that the pet is also feeling clean and comfortable, but also so that the owners know that I respect not only their pet but their home. Depending on the preference of the owner I find it fun to send a small daily update which includes a photo and how the pet is doing overall.
“Josh was great with my dog. Firm but not aggressive or hostile with my spirited Samoyed. Griffin loved going with Josh on his walks with Josh 's great dane and little terrier. It was a small, medium and large trio lol. Josh was punctual, reliable and gave the full hour. Would recommend 🙂”
“We are new to Rover and Julia was our first experience with dog walking. From the beginning she was very responsive. Julia was timely and was very good with our very hyper dog. We hope to continue with Julia's walking our dog.”
“Octavia is amazing! Very communicative and knows how to handle dogs incredibly well. Her dog training experience is super key and nice to have. She's been able to help our dog already not react as strongly to other dogs passing by. She's definitely becoming out go to person to take care of our dog in San Jose.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs, kittens and puppies. I'll make sure your pets are safe, fed, and showered with care and fun! I'm full of energy and love to think of ways to be with pets according to each of their unique personalities. I enjoy the outdoors in the bay area and enjoy going to the parks. Walking pets is one of my favorite activities as it allows me to see the explore more with a four-legged companion who's more than happy to play, run, and walk. I live right next to a dog park, so your pup will gets lots of walks in :) I also enjoy playing fetch with my pets. It helped that I was part of a Frisbee team awhile back in college. I'm excited to meet your pet and have a good and safe time with it. I'm a high school teacher and I love going on walks and caring for dogs at the same time. I believe that each dog is unique and deserves special care and love. I create a safe, loving environment suited to each dog's personality. I believe it's important to communicate often with the owners to understand their dogs before, during, and after the stay.
About: Hello 👋 I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family members while you’re on vacation or working. I accept dogs up to 40 pounds. I would love to meet and create a bond with your dogs. I am a stay at home mom with a 4 year old, so I can watch your dogs all day. I have plenty of experience and we had dogs growing up. I am currently taking new clients and I am available on holidays as well. I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs or cats. I am also open to boarding cats when I don’t have dogs unless both cat and dog come from the same family. I am active and love to go on walks with dogs. I am currently open Monday-Sunday. I don’t have a pet of my own. We have a nice fenced yard and my sister currently dog-sits in the house next to me. We can do a meet and greet so your dog/ cat can get familiar with me before they stay or I do drop in visits at your place.
“Danielle was great with my dog Minnie. I loved the report card after their walk. She was also patient with me when I couldn’t find Minnie’s collar! Great first time Rover experience!”
“Stephanie was amazing with Fifi! She was flexible and agreed to walk her at short notice, gave great updates every day, and I returned home to a happy dog! Will definitely book Stephanie again and recommend her to everyone.”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
“Amazing, my puppy looked like he had an amazing time and made new friends. We will definitely use Tillana again. She went above and beyond to make sure that Casper had fun.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life I’ve had at least one dog since the age of 5. I have three dogs and a cat that I’m deeply obsessed with. I’ve been the ‘family dog sitter’ for years now, i recently started branching out and sitting, walking and doing drop in visits for family friends and recommendations. I’ve been working from home for over 10 years now. I’ve been using rover for a few years as well and I truly understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust your whole whole world with and the stress that may come with that .i can assure you I treat all the animals I sit with the same love and attention I give my own animals. I’ve been fostering for about 8 years as well, im very familiar looking after dogs with medical needs. I’ve been working from home for over 10 years now to be honest my schedule revolves a lot around my dogs! My daughter is older and in high school leaving me with plenty of spare time to walk, do drop ins and board your pups. I do live in a condo so I take my pups out for potty breaks. I am extremely big on dog safety, I’ve had a husky for 10 years and she’s a runner! I’m very mindful and careful of walking dogs around my condo. We have plenty of very quiet safe streets and there’s a beautiful dog park right around the corner. For clients home visits I’m happy to walk your pup for potty breaks or supervise them if they have a yard. I take two of my dogs on hikes to pulgus ridge in San Carlos a few times a week and I’m always happy to bring along the dogs I’m minding if they’re up to the hike!
About: Dani and I are passionate dog lovers! Doggy sitting brings so much joy to our lives! We have a sweet and friendly eight year old chihuahua at home. We have used Rover ourselves to find sitters for our furry baby, so we understand the fears that come with finding a trust worthy sitter for your furry child. We work from home so your pup will be able to hang at home with us all the time! Bambi is very respectful of the doggies we have over, so depending if they’re up for sleeping or playing all day, Bambi will join. We also have a ton of dog toys that I’m sure they’ll love. As dog moms ourselves, we understand that you want a sitter that is reliable, communicative and loving. We will send you daily updates and you can expect some very cute pics of your baby during their stay! Your pet will receive so much love from our dog loving household! They will always have someone to play with or cuddle with. Bambi gets along with all dogs because she can easily sleep all day or stay very entertained playing with her toys and her new friend. We have experience caring for all types of breeds ranging from toy breeds to large breeds. As well as puppies and older dogs. We also have experience administering prescriptions, in case your pet is taking any.
About: I am a nurse who wishes that she took care of animals too. I have always had animals in my life and truly enjoy taking care of them. I am familiar with taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. Looking forward to combining my love of animals and exercise. I am able to check on pets, pet sit, and walk. Pet care is a part of my life I am a fur mom to an older cat and German Shepherd puppy. I only work part time and am interested in working with animals professionally. I would ensure that they have plenty of water. Make sure that they have used the restroom before leaving. That the environment is safe for them before leaving. Also if they need to fed I can do that and follow directions for any special dietary needs. If they would like to play and like to be pet I would love to do that with them as well.
About: I'm a student looking to help out with local pet care and housesitting this fall. I live off campus on my own, I'm vegan, and I genuinely love animals. My classes don't require attendance since I use recorded lectures, and I don't work a job, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines and daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'm also comfortable caring for dogs with extra needs, including giving pills, administering eye drops, and helping with mobility, like assisting senior dogs with stairs, ramps, or getting up and down. I'll always send plenty of photo updates so you know they're doing great. I've cared for dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm comfortable handling pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. My home is very clean and dog-proofed, and my housing has double doors for extra security. I live off campus and independently, and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible this fall. None of my classes have mandatory attendance, so I watch recorded lectures on my own time, which leaves me with plenty of free time during the week and on weekends. Since I don't work a job, I can hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they were my own. 🐾🤍 Safety is my top priority. I always double-check locks and gates, follow your feeding, medication, and walking instructions exactly, and keep a close eye on your pets the whole time. I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends for years, so I know what can go wrong and how to prevent it. My housing has double doors, which adds an extra layer of protection if a pet is prone to bolting or escaping. My home is also very clean and fully dog-proofed, so your pets will be comfortable and safe. 🐾🔒
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was in elementary school, and I currently own two labs. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs—whether it be dog walking, general play, or feeding / caretaking. I’m a college student home for break so I have tons of free time - I’m available pretty much all hours of the day and weekend :) I’m unable to care for pets in my home (I have two dogs currently), but I’m more than happy to visit client’s homes as needed!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodside
Huei is a delightful person, very upbeat, and she did a great job walking our beloved golden doodle person-in-a-dog suit Phoebe, who by the wonderful photos that Huei sent back from the walks, clearly was having a blast with her 30 walks. Huei was great about communicating when she would be over to take Phoebe for a walk and what was going on with Phoebe from the walk. We would highly recommend her, and would call on her again when needed, she's great!
Isabelle is an incredible dog walker/sitter. I could not recommend her enough. She is so patient and kind, and her love and care for animals is evident. Our rescue pup needs extra attention and patience, and Isabelle is always so generous with the care she gives him. It was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but Isabelle made us feel assured and we trusted that our puppy would be in good hands.
Shanni is incredible! We were so lucky to have her walk Bucky for the past year. It was also very clear that Bucky loved every walk/visit with Shanni. We are so grateful for all she did for Bucky, and we recommend Shanni to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Woodside is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per walk.

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 Woodside. 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 Woodside 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.

- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
