“Elizabeth is AMAZING with our reactive, anxious dogs! She was patient, attentive, and they warmed up to her SO quickly! She is incredible responsible and communicative and we will continue using her services anytime we are out of town. Highly recommend! Thank you Elizabeth!!”
“In the past three weeks or so, Mry has been walking my dog every morning. Since my chocolate lab cannot write the review ( she can do most everything else..) let me just describe my dog’s reaction to Mry: excited anticipation prior to her arrival and a happy “smile” on her face upon returning from her walk! As for me, I cannot say enough about Mry’s Professional and pleasant attitude. She is punctual, tailors the walks to my dog’s ability and daily wants. The daily reports I get from Mry are not the mundane ones but a true and detailed description of my dog’s activities (sniffing, slow or energetic, tired etc.). In short, I recommend Mry in the highest possible terms!”
About: I have grown up with pets of all sizes, including large dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hermit crabs, and more. I give special attention to each pet's personality and needs to help give the best possible care. I'm currently working part time, so my flexible schedule allows me to work around your needs. I am typically available any day in afternoons and evenings, including weekends. I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s home, helping them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection and companionship while you’re away.
“I'm so glad I found Erika! She is wonderful with my sometimes timid and sometimes wild chihuahua beagle mix. Even when we first met, Erika had taken the time to study our profile, understood my pup's quirks, asked all the right questions, and made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend Erika!”
About: Hello! Animals have been my absolute lifelong passion, and I have raised and loved both dogs and cats my entire life. I treat every pet with the exact same deep devotion, warmth, and attention I would want a sitter to show mine. I specialize in providing safe, engaging companion walks and drop-in visits directly at your home. I focus 100% on keeping your pet safe, happy, well-fed, and exercised. I am happy to provide local personal and client references who can verify my absolute reliability and caring nature. I’m currently available for time, I can take your dog for walks every 2 to 4 hours. Of course give them plenty of playtime and make sure they’re hydrated. First, I will make sure your dog is comfortable with me in in my or your home, make sure the doors are closed so they don’t get out, take them out for walks every 2 to 4 hours, make sure they’re fed and have plenty of water and playtime. Course keep the home clean.
“Cody is on time and ready to go every time we book him! Finn and Biscuit both love him and he is awesome about working with any request we have or instruction we give. We are excited for future fun times with Cody!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for the past 10 years and grew up with 2 dogs. I’ve taken care of pets of all ages as well as pups with medical issues. I have even lived with a family during Covid and took care of their dogs. 🐶 I’m happy to water any plants too :) I work part time and make time for frequent walks and play time. It’s easy for me to make my schedule work for your babies’ needs :) If there are any preferences or ways you’ve trained your pup for their daily routine I am more than happy to abide by those rules that you’ve set in place. Looking forward to meeting you. 🐾🥰 I’m typically home reading a book for my book club, writing or studying for class. So I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your pup. I typically will ask about any preferences on where your pet sleeps, how much outside time they need, if you need me to crate them, or any thing that will make your fur baby feel secure and happy.
“Look no further for the best dog walker! My senior dog Toby absolutely adores her walks with Luba. I've seen a real difference in Toby’s happiness and energy levels since they started. She is very reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Knowing Toby is in such capable and caring hands gives me complete peace of mind. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Kim is so wonderful!! We know our Coco is in terrific hands with her! Kim asked a lot a really great questions during our meet and greet and spent a lot of time going over all of Coco’s care, including oral medication. We will certainly be repeat customers. Thank you, Kim! 🐾💕🦮”
“Mario was fantastic with Luna! He’s very communicative, responsible, takes tons of photos and give updates frequently. I needed someone to help me with walking Luna while I was at work and despite her being a handful, he was incredibly kind, patient, and undaunted by the task. I highly recommend him if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies.”
“Chun came by to do a meet and greet with our dog. She was communicative and on time. The next day she came to take him for an hour walk and he was so happy! Definitely would book with her again.”

“Zoey is wonderful! Our dog Ollie loves her. She is so communicative, kind, and respectful of our home. We totally trust Zoey and are grateful we found her to care of our little guy.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of real-world experience and professional training. I'm certified in dog behavior modification, so I don't just walk or sit with dogs — I understand their body language, stress signals, and what they need to feel safe and comfortable. My calm, patient, low-key approach makes me especially well-suited for dogs who need extra reassurance, whether that's a nervous rescue, a reactive dog, or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace. I also have specific experience with puppies, including potty training, crate training, basic obedience, and redirecting nipping or overexcited behavior in a positive way. On the other end, I'm comfortable with senior dogs who may have mobility issues, slower routines, or health needs that require a watchful eye and extra patience. Whatever stage of life a dog is in, I adjust my energy and approach to match what they need. Pet care is a core part of my full-time work. I'm a professional dog trainer, and I supplement my schedule with on-demand pet care, so caring for dogs isn't squeezed in around other commitments — it's what I do. Because I'm available full-time, I can offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, sittings, and overnight stays, and I bring my training background into every visit. That means dogs in my care get more than supervision; they get a calm, knowledgeable presence who can reinforce good habits, manage energy levels, and respond to behavioral needs as they come up. My approach adapts to the service, but calm and consistency are the constants either way. For walks, drop-ins, and sittings in a client's home, I keep things low-key and follow the dog's established routine, feeding schedule, and environment as closely as possible so they stay comfortable in their own space. I'm attentive to their body language throughout and adjust my approach to their individual needs. For boarding, dogs come into my apartment, which I keep calm and quiet to help visiting dogs settle in easily. I also have a senior dog of my own, so I'm mindful of introducing dogs thoughtfully and making sure energy levels and temperaments are a good match before a stay. My training background helps me manage that transition smoothly, reinforce good habits during their time with me, and keep things structured and low-stress for every dog in the home.
About: With over 15 years of tail-wagging experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! From energetic puppy zoomies to the laid-back cuddles of senior dogs, I’m here to make sure every furry friend feels right at home. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch marathons, or a little TLC with special care, your pup will get the full VIP treatment. I treat each dog like my own, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in loving, playful hands! I work from home full-time and my husband works night shift, which allows us to provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pets. Being available throughout the day means I can cater to their needs, whether it’s for extra playtime, walks, or just some company while you’re away. My home-based schedule gives me the flexibility to ensure your dog gets plenty of interaction, making me the perfect fit for providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your furry family members! When we care for your pets, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, ensuring they’re fed on time, exercised, and comfortable in their surroundings. Whether your dog loves to run around or just relax, I tailor my care to fit their unique needs. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

I'm so glad I found Erika! She is wonderful with my sometimes timid and sometimes wild chihuahua beagle mix. Even when we first met, Erika had taken the time to study our profile, understood my pup's quirks, asked all the right questions, and made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend Erika!
Brooke was amazing and so easy to work with! She accepted my last minute booking and made the entire experience completely stress free while I was at work. My pup felt super comfortable around her, and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Brooke followed all of my instructions perfectly, was reliable, and made everything so seamless. I’m so grateful for her help and will definitely be booking with her again!
We absolutely love having Bailey as our dog walker! She’s incredibly reliable, patient, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. One of our pups can be a little more challenging, and she has always been so understanding and kind with him. One of my favorite parts is the detailed updates she sends after every walk. They’re thoughtful, funny, and always make me smile—it feels like I get to experience a little piece of their adventure together. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Francisco was great! He is reliable and he is great with dogs! He communicates well and sends pictures of our dogs who always look happy and exercised from their walks. We would definitely reach out to him again! I highly recommend Francisco for your pet caring and dog walking needs.
Lucia is the best! She was amazing with our dog Whiskey on his walk and a total gem for us, too, keeping her cool even though I’d accidentally armed our alarm and it set off on her (whoops). Whiskey’s walk was beautifully documented and his big smile in the photos says it all! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Encino is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $34 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 Encino. 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 Encino 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 Encino. 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.
