About: I am known for my passion for taking care of dogs. For me, to know a canine is to love a canine. I have experience taking care of dogs who want to play for hours as well as couch potatoes. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with health issues. The great news is that Monday through Friday my schedule is flexible from mid-morning on, so I have plenty of time to focus on your dog. On the weekends I am available some afternoons and evenings. I have a small fenced in yard. We are a couple blocks from the park and from the strand, so plenty of options. I have a big wooden kennel that works for most dogs if they want quiet time.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years, and animals have always been a big part of my life. After recently losing my own dog, I found myself really missing the joy that comes with having a pet around. I decided to join Rover so I could spend time with animals again while helping other pet parents feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and always respectful of each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home with my little one, which allows me to be around and attentive to pets throughout the day. I’m available primarily for boarding and can give your pet plenty of companionship, playtime, walks, meals, and cuddles. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. My home is a comfortable, family oriented environment where pets can receive plenty of attention and companionship. Safety is my top priority, and I’m careful to follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I’ll make sure your pet has a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax, play, and feel at home. I’ll also keep you updated during their stay so you know how they’re doing.

About: Hi! My name is Nori. I am a mom of two grown children and two furry babies. I am reliable, trustworthy, honest, and dedicated to providing the love and care your pets deserve. Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up, we always had pets in our home, including goldfish, hamsters, crayfish, cats, and dogs. I loved caring for each and every one of them. We had a wonderful Golden Retriever who lived a healthy and happy life until he sadly passed away from a brain tumor at age 11. Today, we share our home with a Golden Retriever girl we adopted after her owner surrendered her and a German Shepherd mix boy we rescued. Both have taught me even more about patience, compassion, and the unique needs of every dog. For many years, I have helped care for and walk my neighbors' and friends' dogs. Now that my children are grown and need less of my time, I have decided to join the Rover community so I can spend more time doing something I truly enjoy; caring for animals. I understand that every pet is a beloved family member, and I will treat your furry babies with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I will do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent and will carefully follow all of your instructions so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

While we were away, she took great care of our little guy and sent us regular messages to keep us updated. We look forward to using Joanne again in the future. Thank you!”

“I highly recommend Shane for boarding & walking! He’s been helping my dog get back into shape by running him. My dog does all of his tricks for him, which he normally only does for me. Shane treats my dog like his own and truly loves my baby. Lincoln is 100+ lbs bully breed mix and it’s hard to find someone I trust that can handle him. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I trust to care for Linc when I need him in the South Bay. Thank you, Shane & your family for becoming a part of mine!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been around pets for basically my whole life. I had my dog for 16 years, so I’ve grown up learning how to care for a dog, keep up with their routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’ve also had three cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and know that every pet has their own personality. I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, but I’m very responsible, caring, patient, and excited to take care of other people’s pets. I’ll always follow your instructions and treat your pet like my own. I’m a full-time college student, so my schedule depends on my classes, but I have plenty of free time throughout the week. I’m hoping to use some of that time doing something I genuinely love, which is being around animals. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the day and my class schedule. I’m pretty flexible and will always be upfront about my availability. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay comfortable. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll always take their safety seriously. I’ll follow any instructions you give me about feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet needs. I’ll make sure they’re safe during walks and visits and pay attention to how they’re acting so I can notice if something seems off. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away and can send pictures and little updates of your pet so you know how they’re doing. I know it’s nice to be able to see your pet while you’re away. I’ll give them lots of attention, patience, and love while they’re in my care.

About: I’m a proud dog mom to my 80-pound Husky, Harley, so I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pup. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from little pups to larger breeds, and I’m confident handling bigger, stronger dogs as long as we’re a good fit for one another. I love being outdoors and going on walks, and I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, energy level and needs. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual walking routine, commands and preferences to help them feel as comfortable as possible while they’re with me. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, care and attention I would want someone to give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I already enjoy using my free time to get outdoors and go for walks! I have flexible availability every other Monday, and I’m generally available Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 4:30 PM, Thursdays and Fridays in the evenings, and early mornings on Saturdays and Sundays. My availability may occasionally vary or allow for additional times, so please feel free to send me a request and I’ll be happy to let you know if I’m available. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. Before caring for your pup, I’d love to learn about their normal routine, temperament, commands, walking habits and anything I should be aware of, such as triggers or reactivity around other dogs or people. During walks, I’ll keep your pup safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings. For drop-in visits, I’ll respect your home and follow the care instructions you provide. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pup is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Shay was the absolute best. As long as he’s available, I will not be going with any other person to take care of my little Murphy. Murphy has quite a lot of energy and can be a lot to handle (and needs an occasional butt wipe hehe). Shay seemed to manage easily and even took my dog on runs! He sent the best pictures, and I could truly tell my dog very much enjoys their time together. Thank you for everything. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate knowing my dog is so well taken care of!!!”

About: Growing up in the country side with 3 dogs and recently moved from NYC where I had two dogs. I care deeply about their happiness and comfort - I encourage training because a dog likes to know what you want them to do and are happy when they have tasks. Smaller dogs like attention, cuddles and playing. I work from home from 6am to 4pm with breaks every 2-4 hours. I like to go out for lunch and prefer to pickup dogs and drop them off during this time. We can be flexible but routine is best for animals so what they get used to is what we can try and be consistent with. At home I would ask for a few toys and your preference as to what treats and food you give them, it is not good to change their diet. I would ask for chews and doggie dental sticks. Ideally if you have a second dog bed to leave then I can store it here otherwise for boarding I would ask to pick up the bed. I am doing this because I love dogs and I miss my own ones that are in NY with my previous partner. I have always had dogs and have rescued animals in foreign countries - I even started a self funded project where I work with the head veterinary clinic’s Dr. in Kerala, India to deworm and provide parasite treatment for street dogs for no cost to the public. The people and animals have benefited from this and the community has become accepted even by those who for religious reasons see dogs differently. This has created jobs and people even asking to volunteer to expand the operations. In Spain I have a similar project for cats. I would like to earn extra money for these projects and know that some of the proceeds will go to benefit stray animals.

“I broke my foot and wasn’t able to walk my dog. Vanessa was incredibly helpful and made sure Pelo got plenty of exercise so she could stay relaxed and happy. She picked Pelo up right from my door and brought her back afterward, which was extremely convenient given my situation. Vanessa is a sweet, caring, and empathetic person. I truly appreciated all of her help and would highly recommend her.”

About: I provide attentive pet care tailored to your dog’s specific routine, energy levels, and personal needs. My experience comes from regularly caring for friends' pets while they are away traveling, giving me a strong understanding of how to keep animals comfortable, safe, and happy. What to expect: Prompt updates, strict adherence to your instructions, and a calm, well-cared-for pet when you return. My primary availability is on Fridays and weekends, which allows me to offer dedicated, uninterrupted care. While I work two jobs during the week, my weekends are fully set aside to give your pet focused attention, consistent routines, and plenty of quality care without feeling rushed. Whether caring for pets in your home or my own, safety and peace of mind are top priorities. I live in a gated, pet-friendly apartment in Redondo Beach that offers a safe and comfortable environment. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding leashes, feeding schedules, crate preferences, and household rules, providing regular photo updates throughout each stay.

Alex is amazing and so observant…during the regular morning walk, Kaley was walking a bit off kilter, and Alex realized that she wasn’t quite “right”, so she picked her up and carried her back to the house. A trip to urgent care determined that Kaley had sprained something the previous night, (probably by jumping off the bed). We’re so grateful for Alex taking prompt action to keep the injury from getting worse!

Max and his wife Mikaela did such an amazing job caring for my dog. This was my first time booking a rover walk and I was nervous going in but couldn’t be happier to have had max/mikaela as our walkers! They were very quick to respond, reliable and sent me many updates/photos. My dog can be frightened of new people but warmed up to both of them immediately. You can tell they have good experience working with dogs. They even did some play time with my cat, which was such a nice and unexpected bonus. Would recommend them to anybody and will definitely rebook as soon as i can!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hermosa Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hermosa Beach is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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.

As of October 2026, there are 19,830 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hermosa Beach. 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 your Hermosa Beach. 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 , 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 Hermosa Beach 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hermosa Beach. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
