About: I was raised in a house that for ten years had 5 dogs, 3 cats, a sugar glider & a hedgehog! I have my fair share of working/living with animals. For the last four years I've even lived with six different cats & two dogs! They quickly became my best friends who I regularly talked to like they were people! I promise to love & treat your pets like family! I've gone my entire life living with over ten different animals & for the first time I am living without any animals & I truly miss it. Taking care of pets & even receiving attention from pets truly makes a life feel more complete & I hope I can help you with your pets as much as I'm needed because I'd benefit from it too! Ultimately, safety is the name of the game! Whatever rules you give me are the rules your pet & I will follow closely! On walks the chain will not just rest in my hand but wrap around my arm. If they need to be crated, I will ensure their crate is cozy & safe! But most importantly: They will get PLENTY of scratches & pets!

She wipes his paws, fills his water bowl, plays with him, and communicates very well with daily updates. I will be continuing to hire her to walk my dog!”

About: I’ve been providing loving and reliable pet and house sitting services in Los Angeles for over 10 years. What started as helping out close friends and neighbors has grown into a true passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I only have a cat on my own but love dogs just as much! I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of dog breeds from Frenchies and Pomeranians to Labs and Pit mixes. No matter what their needs are, I make sure to take the best care of them! I have also had the pleasure to care for a range of cats, I love to see all of the different personalities that they have. I understand how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and comfortable, and treat them as if they were my own. I’m always happy to send regular photo updates, so you can stay connected and worry-free while you’re away. I live and work in Downtown Los Angeles, so this is also where i mainly provide my services. I work a full-time job but am flexible on hours away from home. It’s mostly remote, but i help out on site 5-6 hours about 3-4 days a week depending on what is going on each week. Since I live in the city we don’t have a yard but I am about a block from a park with a dog run as well as close to grand park. I love walking downtown. We also have a spare room in case the pet needs its own space. We’re loaded up on toys and treats for both cats and dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for years. From dogs to birds and lizards. I focus on building a meaningful bond with the animals I work with to create trust and make sure they feel safe with me. Their happiness is of my utmost priority and nothing brings me more joy than taking proper care of your fur babies! I am currently self employed which means I have optimal time to provide pet care on the side. I am free pretty much any day during most times. This includes weekends and I can provide overnight services. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I try not to stray from already established routines and care regiments. I want your pets to feel as comfortable as possible, any extra love and care that can provided will always be given.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a teenager and currently have a Border Collie and a Russian Blue cat of my own.

I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship.

About: With 22 years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs, I provide more than just boarding. I provide a safe, loving home where your pup is treated like family.

I’m experienced with purposeful walks, crate training, housebreaking/potty training, basic structure, and maintaining the routines you’ve already established at home. Whether your dog is energetic and needs activity, thrives with structure, or simply wants a comfortable place to relax and feel loved, I adjust my care to them. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pup will be safe, cared for, loved, and treated like one of my own from the moment they arrive until they’re back home with you. 🐾 I work part time. Luckily still from The comfort of my home for the next year! Great space and comfortable safe living. Good area for nice walks no traffic. Close to small secluded park as well as dog park. Surrounded with a community of dog friendly friends and neighbors. I currently work part-time and, luckily, I’ll be working from the comfort of my home for the next year.

About: As a previous dog owner of 12 years, I absolutely love dogs. I just got a remote job so I'm turning my Rover availability back on to meet all the best dogs in LA! I love all dogs, consider myself a dog whisperer, have trained my own dog and cared for my own dog through senior care, and all of the above and below. I just can't work with huge/super strong or aggressive dogs as I'm a bit on the shorter and weaker side :) I just got a remote job, so I will be home much more often. I also love going to cafes to work, so if your dog loves to be outside, I can bring him/her! I live in a home with open space and also have a park right in front! I'm happy to play with dogs either indoors or outdoors!

About: ‼️ PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST‼️ Your pet will be watched by both my girlfriend and I. We will be watching them almost 24/7 unless we go out for food that does not allow pets. I sometime do have emergency remote business meetings. We also only used to taking care of healthy pets! This means that pets in my care should: 1. Be okay with staying home alone for up to 2 hours. 2. Be okay with 3 walks a day and one before bed. 3. Be house trained. 4. Not be on medication. 5. Would sometimes be picked up or dropped off by my girlfriend. ——————————————————————— Caring for dogs has never been a hobby for us - it has always been a lifelong responsibility. We provide calm, structured, home-based care and adjust our routine to match each pet’s personality and each owner's preferences. Every pet is different, and we respect their individual pace, habits, and comfort level. We will provide photos updates everyday so you can have a peace of mind that your pet is being treated the best! We take dogs out three times a day for calm dog park walks (about 30 minutes each). When caring for multiple dogs, outdoor time is provided through safe, supervised walks. We maintain a home-centered lifestyle and provide full-time supervision in a clean, stable, and loving environment. Our focus is safety, emotional stability, and consistent routine rather than chaotic, high-energy boarding. I currently have a flexible schedule where I’m working from home! My girlfriend and I will be both sitting your pet so they will be watched almost 24/7. Only time where we can not watch them would be if we were to go out for an hour or two for food! I am also available for visits and walks in the evenings during weekdays, which allows me to spend quality time with your pets after work hours when they need attention and care! On weekends, I am generally available, though I am sometimes busy Saturday mornings until around 2 pm. After that, I am available for visits, walks, and extended care. I always do my best to plan ahead and keep my schedule updated to ensure I can provide consistent and reliable care. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide attentive, patient care whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, or just some extra company while you are away. Majority of our services is for pet boarding and when caring for pets, we prioritize safety, comfort, and following each owner’s instructions closely. During walks, we make sure pets are always safely leashed, avoid crowded or unsafe areas, and adjust the pace based on your pet’s energy level and needs. We also pay close attention to weather conditions and make sure pets stay comfortable and hydrated. For drop in visits, we follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. We also monitor for any changes in behavior or signs of discomfort and will communicate with you right away if anything seems unusual. We respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure doors, gates, and any pet areas are secure before leaving. We treat every pet with patience and care, and we are happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.

About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!

“Anel was available last minute to walk my dog and she was very accomodating and flexible. I have to keep my dog crated when I'm not home and I've had issues in the past where my dog gets very frightened when a new walker approaches her crate, but she had no problems with Anel, which is just wonderful. She sent pics on their walk and was very communicative. Would use again for sure.”

About: I currently live in a nice and cozy apartment outside of DTLA! Throughout these past years I've developed skills caring for numerous cats and dogs of all ages and sizes in not only caring and tending to their needs, but also in showing them all the love through play, tricks, and treats (advised by their owner). I'd be happy to take in your dog/cat and give your fur friend all the care, love, and attention that they need and more! I've been working with rover for over 7 years now. As a long time pet partner, your furry friend will be left in good hands! I work from home so accommodating to their schedule is never a problem. I frequent 2 potty breaks typically for dogs unless otherwise advised. I also have a spare litter box and litter handy for whenever I’m housing for kitties! I live in an apartment with wood floors and a dog park within the residence if needed - plenty of space for your fur friend to roam and lounge around

Eric was absolutely fantastic with my Frenchie, Ocean! I had to be away for a 10hour work trip and he gave me total peace of mind. He followed all my instructions perfectly, especially regarding the warm weather today keeping her walk short, refreshing her water, and giving her a frozen toy to keep her cool in the AC. He is very reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the dogs. Highly recommend his services!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Los Angeles

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Los Angeles is $25 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 20,521 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles. 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.
