About: Hello pet parents! Here’s a little bit about me: I’ve been dog sitting for the last 9 years, through Rover, long time clients and personal friends. I grew up around dogs in my family and have really enjoyed learning to train and care for other pups. I work from home at a health and wellness company and having a furry friend around definitely brightens every day! Working from home, I tend to have more time on my hands to help you take care of your pup so you can have an ease of mind while you’re away 😊 My mornings start bright and early around 8 am. Walks will usually happen by that time, or earlier / later depending on your dog’s needs. I don’t have many meetings throughout the day, so I have a lot of flexibility 😊 For boarding: My apartment is well kept and clean and I never leave any open garbage or food scraps out so you do not to worry about your dogs getting into them. My place is about 1150 sq ft (2 bedrooms) so there’s a bit of room to play! For home sitting: I will always make note of house rules and abide by them at all times (and make sure your dog is too!). You can trust me to keep the place neat and tidy, just the way you left it!
“Courtney does an excellent job taking our Dutch shepherd on his morning walks. She has built a good relationship with him and he does really well with her. She’s on time and takes him a good long routes to help get out his morning energy.”
About: I’m a loving, trustworthy sitter that cares about your fur babies. I have 8 years experience with both cats, pups and a combination of the two.

On rare occasions I will board a pup that I’ve known for some time.

“Diana is amazing! We needed a last minute dog walker and Diana was there. My dog absolutely loves her and she went above and beyond to make sure he was walked and that his water was full, and she stuck to our routine. She is so friendly and good with our dog that we hope to keep her in our rotation. She's the best!”
“Nataly was amazing with our dog Mia! We were so happy to receive a ton of photos after every walk. She was very thorough in her Rover cards, had outstanding communication, and was open to doing a meet and greet with us beforehand. We will definitely be reaching out to her for walks in the future!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs, cats, and reptiles throughout the years. Due to my frequent relocations recently, I haven't been able to have a pet of my own, so I love to spend time with them through sitting experiences! I will be out of college in May, and will be using the summer to recharge and work before I move out of state! I am free most days and weekends, very flexible hours!

About: I recently graduated college and work remote, so I spend a lot of time at home now. I’ve had my two Cavaliers since I was 10. Jagger, my 12 year old Cavalier passed away a few months ago and it was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Caring for him was the highlight of my entire life whether it was good or bad. Because of this I’m great with senior dogs, but also dogs of any age. My love for dogs extends beyond my own. I would love to open my home up to more dogs that can keep me and Riley, my 13 year old Cavalier company! Riley is the sweetest boy and gets along with any dog! He’s never bit or has ever been aggressive. However, I can separate him from your dog upon request! :) I work part-time. A couple days a week for a few hours if that. I’m usually working from home on my laptop so I am able to attend to your dog at all times. I have a large fenced yard and a senior Cavalier who is great with every pet. I can walk your dog once or twice a day and they will never be left unattended.

Absolutely loved Lijuan! I knew she was taking such good care of my girl on a day we weren’t able to be there. I felt so much better knowing someone so responsive was there, Lijuan gave a report card and updates and sent a ton of pictures and it was a great experience. Will absolutely book with her again! Thank you Lijuan, it means everything to me! 😊
I can’t say enough good things about Alexis! She is truly one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She genuinely loves animals and it shows, and most importantly, my dog Einstein felt it just as much as I did. From the moment he met her he was happy, comfortable and excited which doesn’t happen with everyone and that immediately put me at ease. I have avoided travel for a couple of years since relocating because I wasn’t comfortable with anyone outside of family because I hadn’t found a sitter or walker I was comfortable with and I’m happy to report that has changed now thanks to Alexis. I had absolutely no worries about Einstein being with her. During my time away, my elderly mom was house sitting and Alexis was so kind and generous with her even though she was just booked for walks, she took care of everything when it came to Einstein and that meant a lot. Alexis sent me the best updates and funniest pics. In the future, I will have no hesitation to book Alexis for house sitting, walks or really anything else. So grateful Rover led me to her and I can’t recommend her enough if you want your babies cared for by someone that treats them like their own. Thank you so much Alexis we can’t wait to book you again! 🐾💛 🐾
So glad we went with Khawinda after our last regular walker moved away. She was right on time and asked the right questions to help me feel at ease. My pup is super high energy and not the best on leash but I could tell right away she had experience with these special types. I can see on my doggy cam that he so excited when Khawinda's at the door. Reliable, communicative, and someone who genuinely enjoys animals instead of treating it like a quick gig. She even checked on our chickens for us. :) Thank you Khawinda!!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Altadena is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $44 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.

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 Altadena. 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 Altadena 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 Altadena. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
