About: I'm a dog trainer with over 3 years of experience training and 9 years of experience in the pet care industry. I work with dogs with behavior issues, puppies, rescues, and have epxerience with pack walks. Much of my experieince is from dog walking, dog daycare, and dog training at Petco and with my own business. I used to work at Wags & Walks as the head trainer and have years of experience with rescues. I run my own dog training business, so I manage my own hours! I'm available Monday-Friday from 11-4PM for dog walking services. I offer private dog training sessions on weekends and weekday evenings from 6-8PM. I have a fenced in yard where your dogs will remain safe and always supervised. I use crates in the home to ensure your dog has a safe, comfortable space. I have my own personal dog Cappuccino who can help with proper socialization depending on the dog.
“Kellin has been great and very patient acclimating our new pup to walks. He's naturally shy and a little scared of people and dogs but she's willing to put in the time and effort to make him comfortable.”
“Shiyibian is great! Felix has a great time with her! She is always on time, takes great pictures, updates, and long walks. We are so lucky to have found her on this app.”
About: I've been both around and responsible for all sorts of animals since very early childhood. Animals gravitate to me - no seriously, I was just hand-feeding a bunch of squirrels and my friend has dubbed me their dog's emotional support human. I am not intimidated by any animals, even the ones who are "tougher to handle" or who need a lot of extra love and support. I do know how to give meds to most common pets, however that must be discussed and will only be done with written consent. If you want your pet to be treated like the purrson they are, you will not find anyone more naturally qualified. I have a dog who recently lost his best friend in the whole world, my other dog who was with me her and his whole lives. Right now, he needs my love and support heavily in the mornings. I'm open to discussing morning walks/visits if they are very local. Otherwise, this is part of my daily routine anyway so adding more animal faces to my day sounds like a win to me! I'll make sure to engage in specified activities and walks, adhere to all feeding instructions (including treats). Have a problem pup/ tough walker? I am great at finding alternative activities to tire your baby/babies out. Have multiple dogs that sometimes snap at each other? No problem. I'm not afraid to breakup tiffs. If your dogs all out brawl, just give me the courtesy of talking about it with me before booking.
“Patrick was the best! He agreed to run my dog not just walk him for an hour every day! It was worth every penny when I saw how happy and tired my dog was when they’d get back from a run! My dog Chunk loved Patrick and would sit watching the door waiting to see him! Patrick is awesome and I will use him every time I come to LA! U need to hire this man and u will be very happy with his work!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and provide reliable care, walks, and attention throughout the day. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your preferred schedule to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable crating dogs when requested, following feeding and medication instructions, and sticking closely to their usual routines. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and anything that could create an escape or safety risk. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet, respect your home and instructions, and communicate with you if anything unusual comes up. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in responsible and caring hands.
“I’ve had the pleasure of having Raymond walk my beloved dog three times a week for the past few months, and I couldn’t be more pleased with his services. Raymond is not only dependable and punctual, but he also shows a genuine affection and understanding towards my dog, which puts me at ease knowing my pet is in good hands. He always ensures my dog gets a good amount of exercise and fun during their walks, and he’s very communicative, often sending updates and photos, which I greatly appreciate. It’s clear Raymond takes his responsibility seriously and cares deeply for the animals he looks after. I highly recommend his dog walking services to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and reliable walker. My dog absolutely adores him, and that’s the highest praise I can give!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I find this work naturally rewarding and that it pairs well with my active lifestyle. I get along well with dogs of all sizes and breeds and have cared for a variety of temperaments. I have had a miniature poodle, samoyed, great danes and lastly a lab/American bull mix as my beloved pets. I am patient, caring, punctual and considerate. I can handle multiple dogs at once. I believe companionship, affection, and joy are as important to a dog’s wellbeing as fresh food, water, exercise and medicine. I am prepared to care for your pet in whatever capacity that our time together will require and strive to be vigilant in identifying signs of stress, pain, fear, and aggression quickly and know to respond with the appropriate care. I will send periodic updates to you on your pet's progress, along with photos for your peace of mind. I look forward to our walk. Dog and Cat CPR and first aid certification Pet care is not just an added task but the backbone of my daily routine, built around your pets need for predictability, food, exercise, and companionship. I am available to care for your pups on weekdays and weekends. My days revolve around pet visits and walks.

“Kristin was fantastic! Our original sitter cancelled last minute and Kristin saved the day! She's the first person who's come into our house that our dog hasn't immediately starting barking at. My wife marveled at her "Disney princess energy" as the animals gravitated towards her immediately. She communicated with us well and sent great pictures. We had a wonderful experience with Kristin and would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always loved pets and at this stage in my life I can’t own my own but would love to take care of others whenever I can! I work from home and have lots of free time so pet care easily fits into my schedule. I can provide them with the best care ever! I have a huge safe and clean home with a great neighborhood to walk in as well as a massive backyard to play in! I absolutely love dog sitting and my backyard feels like it goes to waste without precious doggies to play in it!
About: I have a 6 year old pup myself named maverick who is my best friend and have also had experience raising puppies. I’ve worked with animals over 6+ years as my first job as a teenager was working at a holistic pet shop where we specialized in dog nutrition and health and training. I have also volunteered at a German Shepard rescue where I would take dogs ranging from all ages on walks until they found their forever home. Furry friends of all ages, sizes and breeds welcome! I currently am unemployed so I have all the time to be attentive and take care of any pup! I do morning walks and potty breaks along with another walk later in the day either around the parks or beaches or taking the dogs to the dog park and they will get frequent potty breaks as needed. I currently have a 6 year old extremely friendly dog in the home along with dog beds and a crate if needed. I would treat another persons pet how I would treat mine and he is a very happy, well trained and spoiled boy!
“Moses has been walking my wiggly little Sombra daily while I’m at work. When we met he asked detailed questions about her health needs, personality, and behavior — it was immediately clear he’s a responsible animal lover who cares deeply for his four-legged friends. He’s accommodated last minute schedule changes for me, he always arrives on time, and he sends adorable photos/updates every walk. Most importantly Sombra liked him right away — she is a huge fan and is always thrilled to see him! Moses is simply fantastic and I highly recommend him to assist you with any needs you have for pet care services. If I could leave a glowing review PLUS a rating of 10 stars, I would!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Recently lost my little man (terrier, Franklin) of 18.5 years and would love some canine company to fill the void. I work from home and have a very flexible day, perfect for walkies and outdoor playtime in my secure fenced backyard! I work from home with a very flexible schedule! Would have plenty of time for walks and playtime out in my fenced yard. Park nearby for long walks in a nice neighborhood. Safe and lovely neighbors. I’ve had varying breeds of dogs my entire life so I know how to care for varying ages from pup to senior. My senior baby just passed, he was 18.5 years old (carrying, diaper changes, etc) I’m comfortable with whatever your pet needs. I’ll provide a comfortable air conditioned home for hot summer days, a quiet environment for long naps and a secure fenced backyard for supervised sunning and playtime. Will carve time for a few leashed walks in my neighborhood and View Park is right near me for some great squirrel watching :) lots of scritches and cuddles too!
“We had our first meet and greet and walk with Suyoon today, and she was absolutely lovely. She asked thoughtful questions and took a genuine interest in getting to know my dog, Ziggy, and his personality, which I really appreciated. She has a friendly, calm demeanor and immediately put both of us at ease. Suyoon was timely and communicative through the Rover app, which made everything feel seamless and reassuring. Ziggy 🐾 loved her, and that says a lot. I would highly recommend Suyoon to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog walker.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from energetic German Shepherds and playful Shih Tzus to my beloved Akita who was with me for 13 years. I also have hands-on experience with my fur nephew (a mini schnauzer) mini and standard poodles and maltipoos, so I understand the different temperaments, needs, and quirks of both large and small breeds. My background gives me patience, confidence, and a deep love for caring for pets of all personalities. I know how important trust and reliability are when it comes to your furry family, and I treat every pet like my own - with attention, safety, and plenty of love. I hike and take long walks daily — so dog walking is an extra plus for me with a buddy alongside :) Because I work from home, I’m able to take dogs out for regular walks, provide bathroom breaks on a flexible schedule, and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on pets and ensure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. In both my home and a client’s home, I prioritize clear routines, clean spaces, and secure environments. Walks are always on-leash in safe areas, water is always refreshed, and I provide consistent updates so owners feel confident their pets are being treated like family
About: I've grown up with boxers, pitties and cats since I was a kid, and rescued my angel doggie Luna in 2020! She is an absolute princess diva and has taught me so much. I've been fostering dogs of all ages for a little over 6 years now, and I'm also a trained and registered dog shelter volunteer, specializing in pit and bully breeds. But I love all breeds - big or small! I'm very sensitive to all types of animal personalities, physical limitations, or medical needs. As a pet owner myself - I totally understand any small details you may need covered! Can't wait to meet your best boys and girls! I work but have flexible hours! Let me know what hours you're thinking and I'm sure we can create a schedule that works. I am a respectful guest in anyone's home, and will make sure your pet feels comfortable in whatever routine he or she naturally follows. I'm here to make the transition as seamless as possible until you return!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Heights
Rachel is professional, reliable, and wonderful with Charlie! She is always on time and approaches every walk with such care and attention to detail. Her extensive animal care experience and incredibly thorough updates letting us know exactly how the walk went gives us real peace of mind when we’re away. She is also so patient and kind with Charlie. We highly recommend her! 🐾
Allison is a delight! Halo adores her, and it’s clear how much love and enthusiasm she brings to every walk.I couldn’t ask for someone better to care for my little pup. I highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and enthusiastic dog walker!
Jackie is such a thoughtful and attentive dog walker! She came over before she walked Rosie for a meet & greet. She is very communicative and warm. We felt very comfortable with her coming over to walk Rosie while we were at work/out of town. She sent us lots of photos which we loved. We plan to have her dog sit our pup when we are out of town as well. :)
Kellin has been a great and professional dog walker for patchouli! She consistently shows up on time and has been very flexible with our changing pick up addresses. Patchouli comes back from walks happy and full of energy and clearly feels very safe around Kellin. Would highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ladera Heights is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 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.

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 Ladera Heights. 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 Ladera Heights 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 Ladera Heights. 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.
