“I recently started a new job that requires long hours. I was nervous thinking about my almost 2 yr old fur baby being alone for so long. After searching numerous sitters, I found Mry and she had countless positive reviews. I decided to reach out and I am so glad I did. Mry comes to my home twice per week to walk my dog. She is so attentive and caring to our fur baby. She is also very accommodating and flexible so if I need to add another day last minute, there has been no issue. She is also very reliable when it comes to not only the safety of my dog but also our home. By chance, my father arrived at our house to visit earlier than expected and it was at the time Mry was walking our dog. She politely informed him that she could not let him in as this was not her home but he was more than welcome to use the provided lock box to prove he was not a stranger! She has been in constant communication with us and sends us immediate feedback after the walk with pictures. She also works on training with our dog and reinforcing certain commands. I can 1000000% recommend Mry to ANYONE who needs their fur baby looked after. She is truly amazing and I have had nothing but great experiences with her.”

About: Exclusive dog walker for the family. Growing up in sports, I enjoyed being the one who was active with the dog on routine walks and to get out energy when needed. I am available when needed.

We live in a dog first world, the dogs come first and we are just living in their world. Luckily my cousin is a licensed vet a phone call away.

I have a big living room with two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and I also have a crate in case it’s needed..
“Nancy is absolutely tremendous in every way. I am so grateful to have found her on Rover, she is completely dependable, responsible, and caring. I feel so comfortable knowing I can count on her. Thank you Nancy! You are truly one in a million. Gina xo”

“Did a great job with my dog on the first meet and walk. My dog tends to be harder on the leash to handle when its not me doing so and she did a great job handling my 100 pound German Shepherd even when he got a bit anxious seeing other dogs during the walk. Would recommend and use her services again. Thank you!”

“Kyle did an amazing Job walking our large dog once a day while I was out of town. He truly came through when we needed him, to get our dog the long walk he needed once a day. He provided numerous pictures everyday while they were out on walks to provide my family with the assurances we all desire when we're not around. We will certainly think of him first in the future!”

“Betsy loves her walks with Celeste! Celeste goes above and beyond when she comes by my place and even offered to water my plant babies. Highly recommend all of her services. A+++”

“Brette was great with my dog! It was my first time using a dog walker and she gave me tons of updates throughout the walk. I felt confident with her ability to manage my pittie mix who can be a little nervous without me.”

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a lifelong dog lover and experienced big dog owner. I’ve raised two large Weimaraners from puppies and grew up with multiple dogs. I also provide care for dogs of all other sizes as well, no matter the breed! I’m especially comfortable with large, reactive, anxious, or sensitive dogs and understand the importance of calm energy, patience, and consistency. I focus on building trust and creating a safe, low-stress environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I’m always happy to follow your care instructions closely and send updates while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and would love to care for yours! I work from home with a very flexible schedule and can do so from your place, or I can pop in and out of your place for drop in, walks, park visits, etc. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication, and house rules so your dog feels safe and comfortable.
“I needed some help walking my dog due to an injury. Jojo was able to help on short notice. She’s friendly and reliable. My dogs a little shy around new people, but was clearly happy to see her after a couple days. If he’s happy I’m happy 😊 😸”

About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in both a dog daycare and an emergency animal hospital. At the daycare, I cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, supervised play, and provided one-on-one attention to ensure a safe, calm environment. Working in an emergency animal hospital strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, follow detailed care instructions, and recognize when a pet may need extra attention or monitoring. I also have experience caring for puppies, including one with medical needs, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of consistency. In addition, I’ve owned my own dog and understand how important routine, trust, and gentle care are for pets. I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every walk and drop-in and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for regular weekday and weekend walks and drop-ins. I’m especially interested in consistent, recurring bookings and can accommodate multiple visits per day. I prioritize safety, calm handling, and trust in every walk and drop-in. With my background working at a dog daycare, I’m experienced in reading dog body language, preventing overstimulation, and handling dogs safely in different environments. For drop-ins, I make sure pets are secure before and after visits, check food and water, and ensure a calm, comfortable environment. I always provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are safe and cared for.
“Arianna was amazing. She took care of Lexi so well. Honestly this was my first time using Rover and I was nervous. Arianna but those nerves to rest. She is patient and kind and diligent and she went above and beyond to care for my pup while I was out of town. I Will definitely be booking her again!”

“Zoey has been such a great help for us. I couldn't walk our fur baby for a few weeks and Zoey has been amazing with our dog. She's been very patient with her (our dog takes time to get used to new people), always writing detailed notes about the walks and always reliable rain or sunshine. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to walk or care for their pet!”

Encino dog parents share their Rover experiences
I just moved to LA this past month. I am beyond happy I met Zoey! She has been a total hero to me during this stressful time. A weight has been lifted knowing that my two pups are in such trustful hands! My dogs are VERY high energy and Zoey knows how to handle them. She really goes the extra mile (pun intended). Forever grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough :)

Lizzie is amazing! Her communication is truly top-tier. She’s super responsive, transparent, and thoughtful from start to finish. She’s punctual and clearly cares so much about the dogs she works with…a total dog whisperer 😊 Frankie cuddled up to her immediately and absolutely loves her walks with Lizzie. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable dog walker!
