Brooke has been incredibly consistent/punctual. My pup is always excited when Brooke comes over and is always exhausted after her walks. I absolutely would recommend for anybody that needs help!

About: I have three years of experience dog-sitting and walking my sister’s terrier mix, so I’m comfortable with routines, walks, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need to feel secure. Outside of that, I’m an art history professor and PhD student, which means I’m very responsible, organized, and reliable. Years of teaching and working in museums have trained me to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, qualities I bring directly into pet care. I’m calm, consistent, and genuinely love spending time with both dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available all day on Mondays and Fridays, and most weekends. On Tuesdays, I’m available until 1 pm; on Wednesdays, after 2 pm; and on Thursdays, until 3 pm. I’m reliable, consistent, and able to maintain your pet’s routine. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routines. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific needs. I’m very respectful of your home, keep spaces clean, and prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.

About: What sets me apart is the personalized attention I give every pet. I’ve cared for a Mini Goldendoodle since puppyhood and have experience with breeds of different sizes and personalities, including German Shepherds and Cocker Spaniels. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience while keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I’m a very active person. I enjoy long walks, have trained for half marathons, and love spending time outdoors at places like the beach and parks. I’m fully available and flexible, so I can easily adjust my schedule around pet care needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply spending time with pets, I genuinely enjoy incorporating it into my day and staying active while caring for animals. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure they are well-fed, have fresh water, and are cared for throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and potty breaks, keeping them active and hydrated, and spending time playing with them, like throwing the ball or engaging in interactive play. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I always take time for cuddles and attention so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have been taking care of pets - from cats, dogs, horses and more - since I was 6 years old! I grew up with a Portuguese Water Dog which is a very high energy breed and was the known neighborhood dog and cat sitter whenever anyone went out of town! I currently have a cat as well as a horse that I care for daily. I am familiar with administering oral meds, providing stimulating play time, and giving pets the love they deserve. I know how difficult it can be to trust another to take care of your special friend, and I pride myself in caring for others as I would my own - with much love, care and attention to detail. Please reach out with any questions - I look forward to meeting you! I work full time remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule! I love to spend as much free time around four legged friends as I can. Safety is of the utmost importance in my care and I always think of the pets’ needs first no matter if we are at home, out on a walk, or at the park.

About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a marketing writer based in Manhattan Beach, originally from the Midwest, and I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and couch space to give yours. I’m a very experienced dog godmother and genuinely love spending time with pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from beach-walk extroverts to cozy little couch potatoes. Because I work from home full-time, I’m especially available during the day for walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and check-ins.

I’m also available for overnight boarding and would love to make your dog feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home so I have fairly free availability most days of the week and your pet will have constant companionship! Please let me know for boarding requests :) I do not have pets so your pet will be the only one in my apartment, we are also young thirties with no children so the full focus will be on your pet!

About: For around the last decade, I have served as a walker and sitter across Los Angeles. My Dog Jack and I live by the beach and can provide a safe space for your pet, as well as a playful atmosphere where the dogs can walk freely. I have worked with young puppies, and senior dogs - providing whatever essential care is needed for your loved one. I work part time in television, but from home. My weekly routine consists of other dog care, but usually ranging from a few 30 minute walks to none at all. So I would be with your pet almost always, and they would have company with my dog Jack at all times. I have a studio apartment, with room to roam. Your pet is allowed full range of the unit, with no limitations to where they can go in the house. I have a side yard that is gated if they decide they want to be outside on a nice day.

From walks and playtime to cuddles and belly rubs, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day, so your pet will get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick check-ins. I’m also happy to stay overnight for house sitting, making sure your home stays safe and your pets feel comfortable in their own space.Whether we’re out for a walk, playing fetch, or just enjoying some quiet cuddle time, your pet will be in caring, capable hands while you’re away. At my home, I have a safe outdoor space where dogs can relax and play, and I’m happy to crate them if needed.

Shay is a pet pro! He walked my very large German Shepherd twice daily last weekend. Long walks at good pace for exercise. Easy up-front coordination by text, adapted to my requested times and exceptional communication. Highly recommend Shay as he immediately connected with my shy German Shepherd, providing great care with her exercise.

About: Giving your pets so much love, while leaving your home better than when you left. Grew up on a farm in Canada with many animals, while also having pets over the years since. In addition to providing reliable and loving care for your pet(s) and home, I also offer Animal Reiki sessions and gentle energetic space clearing—helping your pet feel calmer and your home feel refreshed and balanced while you’re away. I’ve been house and pet sitting for friends for awhile now and have led a digital nomad life around the world in 45 countries and counting since 2010. Thought I’d give this platform a try as I’m in transition and planning to settle down in California permanently while checking out more areas to see what’s a long term fit. I love animals, playing beach volleyball, and run my own digital marketing agency of 15 years that has always been remote-first so have a very flexible schedule that I create. Looking forward to caring for your home and pets! I grew up on a farm in northern Canada and it sustained our family so I have a lot of experience with pets and many animals, from our own dogs and cats, to rabbits, cattle, pigs and chickens. I’ve lived in many cities around the world since and also had additional pets throughout life and have often been asked to care for friend's and family’s pets and homes over the years. I absolutely love it because I move around a lot and do not have my own at the moment.

About: I've gotten to take care of, walk, and play with dogs of all kinds since I was ten! Befriending and helping to care for all the neighborhood pets has always been a great source of joy in my life. Not to mention my own pups that I have been trusted to help train and care for over the years! I currently have a very open schedule, as i am home from college. Luckily, this grants me PLENTY of time to devote to your furry best friends with no distractions! I can read dogs very well, having grown up around many different breeds, so I understand when they need to be allowed their own space or given some extra attention. Every dog is different so I make sure to take the time to get to know yours!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Manhattan Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Manhattan Beach on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 20,154 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Manhattan 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 Manhattan Beach. 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 Manhattan Beach.

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 Manhattan Beach. On Rover:

  • 89% 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.
