About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and are huge dog lovers. We share our home with our sweet 20 lb Chihuahua, Bambi. She’s very friendly and great at matching other dogs’ energy - if your dog loves to play, she’ll happily play along, and if your dog prefers more space, she respects that too. She reads the room very well. I run my own design studio, so I’m home most of the time and can give dogs lots of attention throughout the day. We also have a cozy, clean, fully fenced backyard with a tree where dogs can safely potty, play, and enjoy sunbathing. I love working outside in the backyard and spending time outdoors with the dogs. We’d love to connect with more Burbank neighbors and take great care of your pup while you’re away. I run my own design studio from home, so I’m around most of the day and can give dogs lots of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day and evenings. We have a clean, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely potty, play, and relax. For boarding stays, please make sure your dog is friendly with other dogs, as we have one dog of our own at home. Thank you!

About: I love animals and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a run, or playtime, I’ll keep your dog happy, active, and engaged. I love exploring the area, so I’m happy to take dogs to new spots and let them enjoy some variety. Every dog is different, and I take that seriously — I’ll follow your specific rules and routines so your dog gets the same consistent experience every time. I love to walk by myself and explore the neighborhood. Happy to do walks on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday with at least 24 hour notice. I am strictly taking walking jobs for outside walks. I will not take your dog into a home unless there is an emergency. Thank you.

About: I’m a caring and responsible person who loves all animals. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but between a full time job and traveling I wouldn’t want to leave my dog alone for so long. So for now I get my dog fix by hanging out with everyone else’s! Over the years I’ve watched and walked my friends dogs. I’ve mostly cared for small to medium sized dogs, but open to meeting larger dogs too! I’ve taken care of dogs with different personalities. Bean, my longest fury friend who I’ve watched grow up for about 4 years, feeding him, walking him and giving him attention when he wanted it. I’ve enjoyed the many hours we’ve spent just sitting on the couch watching tv together. I’ve also watched energetic dogs like Squid, who is my coworkers dog and let me tell you, he loves attention! If you don’t give it to him, he will keep barking at you. I’ve also cared for senior dogs. Like my cousins adorable dog Ketchup, who loves naps and walks. There was a weekend where I had to take care of him while my cousin was away. They had him on a schedule. I had to make sure he received his medications at certain times, took him out for small walks, and fed him at certain times. I’ve also cared for Dandy, who was also a senior dog that had walking issues. I would put her in a wagon to take her outside so that she could enjoy some fresh air. It was my friend’s family dog and she would let me take Dandy to work with me so that she wasn’t home alone. I would put a blanket next to my desk so that she could relax on. She was such a sweet dog! Wether your dog wants to go out for a walk, play or just cuddle on the couch, I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own dog. Until I’m ready to become a dog mom, I’m happy to become the neighborhood dog auntie! I’m currently working a full time job during the week, but available all day on Saturday and Sunday to walk your dog or dogs. I’ll take good care of your dog on our walks. I’ll make sure to keep a good distance from other dogs. If the ground is too hot to walk your dog, I will recommend scheduling in the evening when the ground becomes cooler so that they don’t burn their paws. If you would like photos of your dog while we are on a walk, I would be happy to provide photos.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 17 years since he was a puppy, so I’ve experienced everything from training zoomie-filled puppy days to caring for a sweet senior dog who needs extra patience and support. I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m great with young dogs who are still learning the rules and especially comfortable caring for senior pets who may need slower walks, medication, or extra TLC. I also make communication a priority, so you’ll get regular updates, photos, and probably a funny story from our walks 🐶 I’m happy to do a meet and greet prior to our first walk! I’m looking to schedule some dog walks on the weekends in the Burbank area as a fun part time gig that also gets me (and your dog) outdoors and exercising! For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means a long energy-burning walk, a slower senior stroll, playtime, feeding, medications, or just extra attention and company. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level so they can relax and have fun while you’re away.

About: As a cat owner myself, I know cats come with VERY different personalities. Some want cuddles immediately, some want to play nonstop, and some prefer to observe you suspiciously from across the room for three business days. I’m patient and happy to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, entertained, and given plenty of attention (on their terms, obviously). And yes-you can expect lots of photo updates because I will absolutely be taking pictures of them. 🐱 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m home most of the day and am only considering work-from-home opportunities, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already plan my days around my own pets (as every pet parent knows, they’re really the ones running the schedule 😂), so adding walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, or some extra cuddle time is something I genuinely enjoy. My flexibility also means I can accommodate different schedules and give your pets quality time without having to rush off to an office. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets their potty breaks or litter box cleaned, and of course gets plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles—if they’re into that! For walks, I’ll adjust the pace and length based on your dog’s energy level and needs. For cats, I’m perfectly happy to play with them for 30 minutes or respectfully coexist while they stare at me from across the room. 😹 Most importantly, I’ll keep an eye on your pet’s behavior and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know exactly how your little boss is doing while you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 18 and have developed a genuine love and understanding of dogs at every stage of life. I’m also the proud owner of Sadie, my beautiful 9-year-old Australian Cattle Dog, whom I adopted when she was just 6 months old. Through my years of experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs, including high-energy pups, anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, and senior dogs who benefit from a slower, gentler pace. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to providing loving, attentive, and personalized care to make every dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM. However, I have open availability on weekends and am available for evening dog walking and pet sitting during the week. I look forward to providing your pets with reliable, attentive, and loving care! When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines, following their feeding schedules, and providing plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment, especially when their owners are away. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the individual dog's age, energy level, and personality. Whether it's a long, active walk for a high-energy dog or a slower, leisurely stroll for a senior dog, I make sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and care they need. I’m also happy to accommodate special instructions, routines, and any unique needs your pet may have.

“I can’t say enough good things about Bertha! She has been an absolute blessing for me and my dog, Penny. From the very beginning, it was clear that Bertha truly cares, not just about doing the job, but about the dogs she works with. Penny warmed up to her right away, which says a lot, and every time Penny see’s Bertha, Penny’s tail would practically wag off! Bertha is reliable, thoughtful, and so gentle with Penny. She always takes the time to send little updates or pictures, and I can tell she pays attention to the details. It’s such a comfort knowing that my dog is in loving, capable hands when I’m not around. Thank you, Bertha, for taking such good care of Penny. We’re both so grateful for you!”

About: From working at the animal shelter, to returning a lost dog home, I love helping creatures big and small. I’ve always had the drive to make the lives, of people and animals alike, better through offering my time, knowledge, experience and a helping hand. In the summer of 2024 I had the opportunity to work alongside trained professionals at the animal shelter and witness the consideration and care that goes into animal care-taking. I was able to also work with smaller kittens, bunnies, alongside dogs from an assortment of sizes and breeds. From 2018-2023 my grandmother lived with my family; we were the caregivers. Especially during covid, I stepped up to help with more responsibilities concerning my grandmother. I learned so much patience and also so much about what a blessing it is to have the ability to care for others. I so deeply appreciate the opportunities I have to share a little bit of life with creatures of every kind:) I currently have no job, however I am applying for part-time positions. Along with that I do pursue performing arts so I set aside time for that accordingly. Having 4 dogs and a cat at home only supports my motivation to care for more animals. I have a lot of availability through the summer and possibly the fall. Weekly it varies but I will communicate any and all time changes. I have 4 dogs that are all friendly, and I’d keep them separate from any of your fur-babies just to ensure a smooth time. Our cat has yet to interact with another cat, but she seldom approaches the dogs. We are well equipped with dry food and doggie supplies. If any dietary restrictions are necessary I will adhere. When in the house of a client, I always ask lots of questions and make a shared notes tab. I will also make a group chat if desired by the client. I tend to tidy up the environment given, and if there are desires to keep things completely unchanged I have no problem with that.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Burbank

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Burbank is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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.

As of November 2026, there are 19,176 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Burbank. 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 Burbank. 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 Burbank 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 Burbank. 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.
