About: I have always been a big animal lover. My family had always had at least 2 dogs and cats in our household, so I grew up taking care of animals. I’m very reliable for sitting, potty breaks, medication,etc. I’ve pet sat for family and friends growing up. Currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. Very flexible schedule. Looking to make take care of your beloved pets while you’re out of town! I always make sure that I respect my clients homes and animals as if they were my own. I follow all given care instructions and any other directions that a client may give.
About: I have had the privilege of taking care of my own pets at home since I was a young girl! I have endless love and respect for all pets beyond my own. I have a flexible weekly schedule and can quickly be at your service when you are in need! I work part-time from home and can be at your convenience. I can follow any particular instructions you would like as your pet caretaker. I pay attention to detail and can assure intentional care for your furry friend!
About: Being the son of longtime dog lovers, my love for dogs was inherited. I was given a dog at the age of five to learn discipline and responsibility. Since then, I have been owning, training, and loving dogs since! I use my highly trained dogs to help encourage yours! I am a student at CSUN, but I have mostly online classes and no work at the moment, meaning my schedule is very open for the time being I have always been the leader; oldest brother, oldest cousin, oldest kid on the street. With that I learned quick that only care and patience will achieve success. I give my pets a lot of love and affection, but also allow them to love themselves
“Zoey was simply amazing! I will definitely be booking her again. She communicated with me after every walk to let me know how Lucy and Linus were doing. She sent me fabulous photos of my dogs which comforted me when I was out of town. She is kind, patient and very loving with my dogs. She is smart and asks questions when needed. I wish I could give her a 10.”
About: I have always had a good experience with meeting dogs for the first time and do not get easily intimidated by their size. The more the dog, the more there is to love! I have had a pet my whole life and so I have learned what they love most and what they dislike. Northridge/Valley Monday-Thursday in the afternoons and evening. Friday-Sunday Ventura county, times vary I would never force a dog into my schedule for the sake of making money. It is only when I know I can be fully present and treat them the best to my abilities is when I accept an offer. I have a large fenced backyard for my Siberian Husky, many of his siblings live nearby and I will occasionally walk him with them and let them play with one another. I love to run and hike with my dog but never push him past his limits. I typically run with my dog in the early morning or evening to prevent overheating. I will NEVER run with your dog if it is outside of your wishes. If it is something you would like me to do then I would be more than happy to :)
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to everything I do. I'm an active person who genuinely loves spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on fun, engaging walks is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and believe every dog deserves individualized care. Whether that means sticking to their usual walking routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, or giving them extra patience and affection, I'll treat your dog as if they were my own. While I don't have professional dog training experience, I have cared for and trained my own puppy, which taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to a dog's unique personality and needs. I'm committed to providing a safe, reliable, and enjoyable experience so you can have peace of mind while your pup is in my care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my current routine. I have a flexible schedule and full availability throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to each dog I care for. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I look forward to every day. As I'm exploring my next career opportunity, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate different schedules, and give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's a daily walk or a last-minute booking, I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and making sure every dog has a safe, fun experience. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while respecting the routine they're used to. I know how important communication is, so I'll provide updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy and in good hands. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I love dogs and cats all my heart! I grew up with two dogs, but unfortunately had to give them away as I moved. While I don’t currently have any pets due to my apartment not allowing them, I understand their needs and have always been a quick learner that adapts to any situation. I frequently pet sit for friends and absolutely love being around them. I will make all of the time in the world to hang out with your pets! I know how important it is for them to feel loved and get the attention that they deserve. I will make sure that your pets are my number one priority. It’s important to me that they are given all of the attention in the world, and that they feel very loved and cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. At the age of 16 I got my very own dog with parental permission. I disciplined him, trained him, and raised him to be a reliable and comforting companion. I still do training with him at least 1-2 times a week. I care for the two other family dogs, one being older and the other being the middle child. The oldest—our old man—has difficulty walking sometimes and eating. I’ve learned to prep and adjust his meals to make it easier for him. I love training and try to be as consistent as possible. I am not a certified trainer—guilty of being self taught—however I know how to teach and enforce basic commands like sit, stay, etc. I love dogs, and cats too, and love every moment I get to spend with them. I’m currently a college sophomore, so my workload is very light and I’ll have plenty of time to hangout with your pets! I am available almost every weekday unless confirmed otherwise. Weekends I am very flexible, unless a prior arrangement has been spoken about before, and I am available from 9am to 6pm. I treat pets like my own children. I believe they need attention, love, and warmth. I love my dog like a son and my two other family dogs like my children as well. I feed all three of them, I bathe all three of them, I pick up messes whether it is an upset stomach to torn up toys or furniture, I take the youngest on walks as he’s the only one properly leash trained, and I give them as many cuddles as they ask for.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn't a side job—it's my full-time profession.

Instead, they'll receive consistent supervision, companionship, exercise, and individualized attention throughout the day. My home features a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under close supervision. At night, dogs sleep in my room with me, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and part of the family. As a professional trainer, I understand canine body language and behavior, allowing me to safely care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your dog is outgoing, shy, or requires extra patience, I'll tailor my care to help them feel safe and at home. My goal is to provide a structured, loving environment where your dog can enjoy their stay while giving you complete peace of mind. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. * 🐾 Full-time professional dog trainer with over 4 years of hands-on experience. * 🏡 Dogs are supervised throughout the day—I work from home full-time. * 🌳 Fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. * ❤️ Dogs are treated like family and sleep in my room, not in isolated kennels. * 👀 Experienced in reading canine body language and preventing conflicts before they happen. * 🦴 Structured daily routine with exercise, enrichment, play, and rest. * 🐕 Care is tailored to each dog's personality, age, energy level, and individual needs. * 📸 Frequent photo and video updates so you can stay connected during your dog's stay. * 🤝 Safety, trust, and clear communication are my highest priorities. * 🛡️ Calm, clean, and low-stress home environment designed to help dogs feel comfortable and secure.

“Mario was fantastic with Luna! He’s very communicative, responsible, takes tons of photos and give updates frequently. I needed someone to help me with walking Luna while I was at work and despite her being a handful, he was incredibly kind, patient, and undaunted by the task. I highly recommend him if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies.”
About: Hi, I'm Pam and I'd love to meet your furry family member! I've worked with animals my whole life. I've been arounds dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, birds, fish and even reptiles and have pet sat for friends and family for many years. I used to do volunteer animal photography for a local rescue. I had to get to know all the animals I was doing photos of and would help walk them occasionally to get to photo sites. In rescues, animals can be under a lot of stress and have a lot of stimulation. I learned how to read their temperaments so that I knew the best way to handle them in order to keep them and myself safe and everyone happy. I still do photography, especially of animals. So you can expect some fun pictures every time =) I currently work from home, so I can usually fit in pet care through out the day. Let me know what kind of schedule you need!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
Geena is super sweet and takes a tremendous amount of care with our fur babies. Her communication is great and we feel confident and comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. I also love that she’s so good with special needs dogs, as our big boy has mobility issues.
Annabella was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I was nervous about it but she made me feel at ease. She answered any question or concern I had. Was quick at responding, she’s so easy to work with. It takes a while for my dog to warm up to people but she was so patient and kind. I could not recommend her enough. Thank you Annabella, you’re the best!
I couldn’t be happier with Sanaz’s service. She was very communicative and left detailed reports with lots of videos and photos of the pups. She was able to help out with a short turnaround, and was proactive to schedule a meet & greet beforehand too. Sanaz was calm and confident working with my reactive pups, and understood how to make them feel more comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were happy and comfy. Thank you, Sanaz!
Marissa was great with Pooh Bear this morning! She showed up on time, made Pooh Bear feel at ease right away, and the two of them headed out without hesitation. When PB came back, she was all smiles, full of pep, and clearly had a really fun walk. It was obvious Marissa took great care of her, and the whole experience felt smooth and reassuring. Highly recommend.
I worked with Cody as a dog walker. He handled my very large dog, who can be a bit reactive, with patience, confidence, and real skill. It’s clear he understands dogs and takes safety seriously. I feel much more at ease knowing my dog is in such capable hands. Highly recommend and will continue to use Cody in the future!
Hillary is one of the few people I trust with my fur baby, I always know she’s in good hands when she’s in her care. She is very communicative and reliable, and my dog is always so excited to see her. You’ll get lots of photos and updates of their adventures together, which I really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares. I highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker or sitter. Thank you Hillary!! 🫶

The average cost for Dog Walking in Northridge on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 16,454 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Northridge. 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 Northridge. 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 Northridge.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

- 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.
