“Jeni is the absolute best! She’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and so thorough with every walk. She treats my dog Blue with real care—refilling his water, bringing in packages, and always sending thoughtful updates after each visit. Her attention to detail and consistency gives me total peace of mind. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. Highly recommend Jeni to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
About: Hello, my name is Emily Woodland. I have 2 documented experience at dog board facility in Calabasas. I also have done 3 house sits while the family was away. I can do dog walking as well as feeding and play time. I own 2 dogs and 3 cats I know how to clean a litter box, feed dogs and cats, walk dogs, and play. I feed my dogs and cats early in the morning and in the evening. If I am off of work late my dog insists on going for a walk and I end up walking him at 11:30pm sometimes. I clean my cats litter box everyday before work. I usually enjoy going to clients homes more. I feel as if the dog may have less stress instead of being left with a stranger in a different home. I like giving the dogs treats to help them gain their trust. I can do walks, feedings, play time. Whatever you need.
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 has been such a great help for us. I couldn't walk our fur baby for a few weeks and Zoey has been amazing with our dog. She's been very patient with her (our dog takes time to get used to new people), always writing detailed notes about the walks and always reliable rain or sunshine. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to walk or care for their pet!”
About: I’ve taken care of and been responsible for furry friends my whole life. I’ve always watched over families and family friends pets when they were away. Pets activity’s are very important to me! I’m currently a student, I spend a lot of time at home, so I have plenty of time to play with pups and take them on long walks. I have a gated back yard with shade and lots of space to play! I have a friendly 2 year old cocker spaniel and I have 2 cats who are friendly with dogs.
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn't a side job—it's my full-time profession. As a professional dog trainer, I bring a deeper understanding of canine behavior, communication, and safety than the average sitter. Because I work from home, your dog receives consistent supervision, structure, and personalized attention throughout the day. My goal isn't just to provide a place for your dog to stay—it's to give them a safe, enriching experience where they feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely at home. Hi! I'm Carter, a full-time professional dog trainer with over four years of experience in dog training, boarding, and behavior. Working with dogs isn't a side job—it's my career and my passion. Because I train dogs full-time from my home, I'm able to seamlessly integrate every dog into my daily routine. Your dog won't spend hours alone waiting for me to get home from work. 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: I grew up in a home with a golden retriever, and was the go-to sitter for my brother's dogs before we gave our current pup her forever home! I helped with short-term fosters for over a year (fostering 12 dogs total) and only gave it up because the shelter closed for Covid! I work from home, so other than times I need to drive my kids to school/sports etc, I'm usually home with my dog. She can roam the house and play outside in the fenced in yard! I have a fenced in yard with two teenage sons, who are very calm but playful with our pup! We do crate her when we leave the house, and could do the same for your fur baby as well!

About: Hi! My name is Amanda and from as early as I can remember I have a passion for all animals. I genuinely treat every pet as if they were a part of my family and truly love to see them happy and well cared for. I have relocated to the west coast and am currently enrolled in school part time. I absolutely love working with animals so becoming a part of the Rover team fits perfectly into my schedule. Loving treatment and safety are the two most important factors in caring for any animal. It is of the utmost importance to make sure perimeters are secure and dangers are assed prior to allowing an animal to enter a space. Loving interaction as well as positive stimulation are requirements for me before I care for a pet.

Soo thankful for Samantha! She was so loving to my little pup Rumi. Very responsible, prompt, and trustworthy. You can tell that she is a true pet lover!! Can’t wait to book more walks for my pup. It is truly a relief having a trusted person in the area to watch my little one. Thank you.
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!! 🫶

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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
