About: Hi! I’m Bella and I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I grew up with a pet loving father and have taken care of basically every animal. I raised our 4 family dogs in Norcal, 4 Presa Canarios, from puppies to now adults. I’ve raised and trained many dogs from Boston Terriers and Chihuahuas to Pitbulls and Dobermans. I have no pets in my Socal home but often go back to Norcal and care for the Presas! I love all dogs - any age, any size! Love cats too!! I currently work remote and often have time during the day and after 5 PM to take care of your animals! As long as your animal doesn’t mind listening to my coworkers on a few calls throughout the day! I have a fenced front yard with space for your dog to run around and can easily take your dog outside for a walk for potty breaks!

“Ryan has walked my senior dog, Lily, several times now. She is very patient with her as she wants to smell all the things and he’s able to handle her around other dogs even though she’s dog aggressive. I will continue using Ryan whenever I need help and I encourage you to use him as well.”

“Laura has been walking my dog weekly for almost a year, and we are so grateful to have her help. She's incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible, and most importantly, treats my senior pup with so much love & care. She's goes above and beyond: she sends photos, a short report after each walk, refills water bowls, makes sure the temperature is OK in the house — you name it. Laura is an essential part of our pup support community and anyone would be so lucky to have her take care of their pet. She loves animals SO much, and was made for this work!”

About: I’m an experienced animal lover who treats every dog like family. I’ve personally lived with Schnauzers, Labradors, Chihuahuas, and Retrievers, and I’ve cared for Yorkies, Dachshunds, Huskies, and Shih Tzus. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and temperaments, I follow your routines exactly, and I keep you in the loop with photo updates. Clean, responsible, and patient. Your dog’s comfort and safety come first. With this experience in mind, I am able to run, walk, carry, jump, skip or swim with dogs. I come from an active household that puts an emphasis on treating dogs like companions that should be appreciated and kept healthy. I live on the edge of Midtown East and UES, meaning I will be able to take a quick train down town or run to the surrounding areas in a quick second. I have experience with anxious, and high energy dogs and am prepared to cater to your dogs specific needs. I am a writer and arts professional with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I plan my projects around walk blocks and drop-ins, with availability most mornings, middays, and evenings. I keep buffer time between bookings and send prompt photo updates. Your dog’s comfort and safety come first. I provide care in your home with one household walks, follow your routines, and start with a quick meet and greet. During visits I clip the leash before doors open, choose calm on leash routes, refresh water, measure meals, wipe paws, tidy up, and double check lights and locks. You receive photo and GPS updates, and I can give oral or topical meds with instructions. I do not host dogs in my home.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.

About: I grew up with cats and have always loved animals, but dogs have my heart these days — I have a 4-year-old dog of my own. Due to a recent life change, I only have him with me a couple of weeks a month, and I miss having a dog around way more than I expected. That’s what brought me to Rover — I want to fill that gap by giving another pup the love and attention I’d normally be giving mine. I have hands-on experience with puppies as well as small to mid-size dogs. I live in a multi-family home in Silver Lake with a fenced yard, in a walkable neighborhood that’s great for daily walks and sniff breaks. I also have the flexibility to work from home, so when I have a dog in my care, I’ll be around at home. I’m flexible most days of the week. Since I have the option to work from home, I’m able to be with your dog all day. I live in a multi-family home with a fenced yard in a walkable Silver Lake neighborhood — great for daily walks and outdoor time. Before any dog comes to stay, I make sure to dog-proof the space, putting away anything they might be able to reach or get into, so it’s a safe environment from the moment they arrive.

About: Hey! I grew up with dogs in my household, so I’ve had a lot of training and experience with taking care of them. I regularly go for a walk, run or hike with the dogs I watch around Echo Park lake or Elysian park, which is in close proximity to my apartment if they are up for it! I have a decent size apartment for them to explore, but am very careful not to leave items out that could cause any harm. I love cuddling up with pups and look forward to meeting you both! I generally work from home as a freelance creative, and am around most weekends, giving me ample time to play with and walk your pup. I have a decent sized apartment and little patio space where dogs can co-habitat and roam freely. I can crate if necessary as well. I clean regularly and am careful not to leave out items or food that may be chewed on or swallowed.

About: Experienced pet owner (3 dogs, 3 cats, currently own 1 dog) and dog fosterer between 2016-2018 for multiple organizations! I recently had a stray dog take shelter on my patio, likely not a coincidence, and after a week of coaxing managed to bring her inside my home with crate training (my dog Petunia was a great companion) and get her into rescue! See 3rd photo! I truly love animals and have experience with all sizes, energy levels and even fear based aggression. I administer meds to my dog daily and am extremely specific when it comes to my own dog's care, so I know what it means to be a client with high expectations! I love getting to know and develop bonds with animals and it has always been natural to me. Depending on your dog, my dog Petunia can cohabitate with yours or yours with mine. I have a flexible remote schedule, with more availability on Fridays and Saturdays. Afternoons and evenings during the week work very well for me! I consider any Rover service a delightful respite where I can disconnect amd focus on your pet! I have my own dog (see photos) so for extended dogsitting I can bring her to yours or have yours stay with us! I am very good about making a calm entrance to reassure any pet and get to know each pet "on their level".

About: A Home Full of Dog Lovers 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, whether welcoming them into my home or staying in theirs. I’ve had the joy of spending time with dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities, and I truly love getting to know what makes each dog unique. Our whole household is made up of big dog lovers, so having pups around is something we genuinely enjoy. We’re attentive to the little things—getting to know their personalities, noticing when they need some extra attention or downtime, and making sure they feel included, comfortable, and loved. And of course, our house is always stocked with dog treats! I also love making homemade treats for our furry guests, adding a little extra homemade love to their stay. 🦴❤️ We treat every dog who comes through our door like part of the family. Whether they’re playful and social, a little shy, or happiest curled up beside you, we’re happy to meet them where they are and give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and companionship during their stay. Your Pup’s Home Away From Home 🐾❤️ We’re a dog-loving household with flexible schedules and plenty of time to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We want every dog who stays with us to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Our pups get the best of both worlds: fun outdoor adventures and cozy time at home. We have a fully fenced yard and dog run for safe play, and we love going for walks, exploring parks, and enjoying hikes. For dogs who prefer relaxing, there’s always a comfy spot waiting for plenty of belly rubs, snuggles, and even a little pup massage! We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and favorite activities. We know every dog is different, and we’ll take the time to learn what makes your pup feel happy and comfortable. Communication is important to us, too. You’ll receive regular photos, videos, and daily updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time while you’re away. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. My mom fostered animals, so I grew up caring for multiple dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. We’d love the opportunity to welcome your furry family member into our home and give them the same love, care, and attention we’d want for our own dog. 🐶 This version is designed to work well on Rover because it emphasizes what the dog will experience, rather than simply listing what you offer. It also naturally answers the questions a pet parent is likely to have before booking. A Safe, Comfortable & Social Home 🐾 Your pup’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We’re happy to follow their normal routine or introduce them to our relaxed household routine, starting the day with cuddles, breakfast, and a morning potty break. Throughout the day, they’ll have plenty of options to feel comfortable—from snuggling in bed or relaxing on one of our two large couches to having their crate available if that’s what they’re used to. We live in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with lots of pups around and a dog park close by, making it a fun environment for dogs who enjoy socializing. We love getting outside for walks, including evening walks when the weather is cooler, and we enjoy taking a hike at least once a week. There are plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. We regularly welcome dogs into our home, so your pup will have the opportunity to enjoy a social, welcoming environment with plenty of companionship. For an added layer of peace of mind, we use AirTags as an extra precaution when caring for dogs, along with our secure home and fenced yard. Most importantly, we want you to feel confident knowing your dog is being cared for with the same attention, patience, and love we’d want for our own.

About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors and blind dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had 7 dogs, 5 cats, a horse, rabbits, hamsters, and even a rat over the years, so I’m well-versed in all kinds of animal quirks, needs, and love languages. I have a calm, intuitive way with animals - the kind of energy that helps anxious pets feel safe and confident. I’m experienced in administering medications, supporting dogs with chronic or multiple medical conditions, and tailoring routines to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s crate training a new puppy, giving meds on a strict schedule, or providing gentle companionship to a senior dog who just wants company, I meet each pet exactly where they are. I treat every animal like my own - with patience, love, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a freelance creative working mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be fully present with pets. Walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles are part of my daily rhythm, and I structure my work around their needs to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications if needed, providing walks, playtime, and companionship, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine.

About: I grew up on a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, and have cared for animals my entire life. I grew up in a multi dog/animal household and have owned a variety of breeds including Pit Bulls, Border Collies, Beagles, Terriers, Kelplis, Chihuahuas, Mastiffs, Dobermans and many more. I have trained puppies as young as 8 weeks old and have taught ticks such as roll over, stay, and “sit pretty”. I have an assertive yet loving attitude which allows me to work with dogs that may have behavioral issues or considered a “handful”. I have owned rescue dogs so I know how to approach and care for dogs that maybe nervous or skittish. Overall, I love all animals and have been told that I have a gift with them. I cannot wait to meet your best friend! I am currently available in the evenings on Monday- Friday and have open availability on the weekends. I am able to house sit during the week and weekend I am not able to have pets at my home, but am can follow any instructions that are needed to care for your pet in your home!

I had such a great experience with Victoria! She took care of my dog, Rex, while I was away on a business trip, and she truly went above and beyond. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Rex was in such caring and responsible hands while I was away. She made sure he was well taken care of and treated him with so much love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after him. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy, Rex! ❤️🐾

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 Echo Park. 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 Echo Park after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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.
