About: I'm super passionate about giving animals the TLC they deserve. With my experience with dog walking, general animal care, and overnight pet sitting, I've got a solid understanding of what it takes to make pets feel safe and happy. I'm all about providing a fun, comfortable, and loving environment for your fur babies, and I'm happy to share more about my experience if needed At the moment, the animals in my household are my parents pets, so my current animal care is only needed when asked. I have cared for many animals throughout my life. I have been the individual that my friends and family recommend to their friends and family for pet care for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and rodents. I have nothing but love and respect for animals. I’m new to this service but I’m very much looking forward to meeting you and your animal friends!

About: - I bring lifelong devotion to dogs and hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, ages, and personalities. - Originally from London, UK, I worked as a pet carer at Crufts Dog Show, caring for dogs while their owners took breaks. My experience also includes pet sitting in my home and puppy training classes. - My love of dogs began at five with my beautiful chocolate Lab, who grew up alongside me for 17 wonderful years. My English Cocker Spaniel turns 10 this year, and having to leave her in the UK has meant missing her—and everyday dog companionship—terribly. - Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I love making their days comfortable, happy, and full of affection. - I also cared for a friend’s 14-year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix on and off for two years, giving me hands-on experience with larger dogs and the patience and understanding they need when feeling a little grumpy. - As I’m not currently working, my schedule is fully flexible, so I can fit around your dog’s usual routine and give them plenty of time, attention, and companionship. - I have so much love and attention to give and would be delighted to share it with your dog. Every breed and age is welcome, and I’ll care for yours like family. I’ve recently moved from the UK and am not currently working, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, companionship, and care. I can work around their usual routine, including walks, feeding times, playtime, and company during the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with no pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. We have a dedicated dog shower, and I’m happy to give them a bath if needed, with your permission. They’ll enjoy regular walks around the neighborhood, with exercise tailored to their age, energy, and comfort. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine and care instructions to help them feel settled, keep them on a lead during walks, and send you regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a bilingual pet sitter who speaks both Korean and English. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs belonging to friends and people I know. I primarily work from home, so I’m usually home throughout the day except when I’m working out, running errands, or attending meetings. You can feel comfortable knowing your pet will have plenty of attention and supervision while staying with me. My apartment also has a dedicated dog walking garden and 24-hour security, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. 안녕하세요! 한국어 & 영어 둘다 가능한 pet sitter입니다. 예전부터 친구랑 지인들 반려견들을 돌봐드린 경험이 많습니다. 저는 주로 재택근무를 하고 운동, 장보기, 미팅나갈때 빼고는 집에있는편이라 안심하고 맡기실수있어요. 아파트에 dog walking garden도있고 24시간 시큐리티가 상주하기때문에 안전히 돌봐드릴수있습니다. I work from home mostly, so my schedule is very flexible and i am available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I can easily adjust to your dog’s usual routine and schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. My apartment has a dedicated dog-walking garden, and there’s also a park nearby for walks and outdoor time.

About: I have a deep love for all animals of all shapes and sizes. Fur, feathers, scales; I love them all! I always put the pet first. Pet care is part of my daily routine! A pet needs daily attention and care. Although some pets don’t need 24/7 care, a little extra connection always goes a long way. I have a running supply of pet care items for all the ‘just-in-case’ times we all run into as pet owners. I prefer visiting the pet at the clients home as to not remove the pet from their most comfortable environment.

About: Hi, I'm Stephanie! :) I've fostered 10 dogs so far (GSD, huskies, pitties,..), I'm a dog-handler volunteer at North Central Animal Shelter, I've graduated K9 Youth Alliance enrichment training where we train dogs from the shelter. Dogs thrive when their needs are understood and met. I take safety very seriously, I approach dogs respecting their boundaries and I provide space for them to show their potential. I’m not a dog trainer—I just know how to provide mental enrichment that builds and strengthens a dog’s confidence and connection with their handler, which is just as important as physical exercise. Monday to Friday: 11am-3pm I have a flexible schedule on weekdays and drive my own vehicle. When not caring for a pup, I'm caring for my toddler and volunteering at the animal shelter * * * * * * * * I'm very responsible and take pride in delivering great work. I'm comfortable either following a client's instructions to the T or having them trust my judgment to provide the best possible care for their pet, giving them complete peace of mind.

Julia was great with our dog Gene this week when she needed a few walks. She took extra time to walk her and play with her outside and even gave some attention to our cats! I could tell from the pictures that our doggie just loved her. I definitely recommend Julia and hope to get to have her walk Gene again soon!

Saige was absolutely amazing with Snooki! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She genuinely cares so much for our fury babies. Pookie looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Saige is reliable, sweet, and goes above and beyond to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I would absolutely trust her with Snooki again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their babies. Thank you so much, Saige. We appreciate you more than you know!

About: What really sets me apart as a sitter is the way I connect with each pet. I take my time getting to know their personalities, their routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m patient, gentle, and very consistent, which helps animals trust me quickly. I also have real experience with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I’m comfortable helping with things like crate training, potty schedules, and guiding them through all their “learning moments.” With senior pets, I’m very mindful of their comfort — I can move at their pace, help with mobility, give medication reminders, and make sure they feel calm and cared for. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make them feel loved, understood, and at ease while their owners are away Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally. I’m already someone who loves being around animals, so it doesn’t feel like an extra task — it just becomes part of my day. I make time for morning and evening walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any little routines each pet is used to. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I’m able to check in throughout the day and make sure they’re getting attention, exercise, and comfort. It blends into my week in a way that feels easy and enjoyable for me, and consistent for them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on keeping their routine familiar and comfortable. In my home, I provide a safe space, regular walks, playtime, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their instructions and treat their space with respect. No matter where I am, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

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 been surrounded by dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet day full of cuddles, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. I believe pets deserve patience, kindness, and lots of affection, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy peace of mind while your dog enjoys a safe, loving home where they’ll be excited to return. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m home seven days a week and able to provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and like part of the family. My dog, Milo, is my friendly little assistant and loves welcoming new furry friends. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide constant supervision, a clean and pet-friendly home, frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and lots of one-on-one attention. My building has a secure dog run, beautiful walking paths, and a nearby park for extra exercise and enrichment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Los Angeles

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Los Angeles on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 20,734 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 your 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Los Angeles.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
