“Jeni walked my dog, Potter, while I was sick with COVID. She did an amazing job giving my pup exercise while I was sick. She was always on time and would send wonderful photos of their trip! Potter loved Jeni and enjoyed his walks. Thanks Jeni!!”
“Tiffany took great care of our girl, which was no easy feat considering she weighs 70 pounds. We are so grateful to her. Our girl loves her. She always arrived timely and took the best pics of our girl on their walks together.”
“I always feel so safe having Janelle check on my frenchie and take her for walks! She is the best and she’s always punctual on time, and sends the best pictures! I will always rebook with her whenever I can ❤️”
“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!”
About: I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes (German Shepard, huskies, Maltese, poodle, frenchies). As a teen I walked dogs for the elderly who resided in a retirement home. I grew up with large dogs and have learned patience and awareness through my experiences. I currently have two talkative cats and have participated in rescuing stray kittens from a Carl’s Jr. parking lot. I love animals and have learned from each and every one of them that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime. I am currently between jobs and have a lot of free time to take pups for walks! I am available weekends and holidays! I enjoy being outside and going for early morning walks and would love to do that with a dog! I am comfortable watching pets within a home or backyard if needed. I can carry dogs if they are uncomfortable using stairs or if they have special needs. I am extremely cautious when dogs are a flight risk and tend to triple check harnesses and walking gear!
“Thank you for coming on time, figuring out how to deal with my shy Mamba. You took him all the way to the park, awesome. And he seemed happy and affectionate when I got home.”
“I just moved to LA this past month. I am beyond happy I met Zoey! She has been a total hero to me during this stressful time. A weight has been lifted knowing that my two pups are in such trustful hands! My dogs are VERY high energy and Zoey knows how to handle them. She really goes the extra mile (pun intended). Forever grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough :)”
“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”
“Absolutely amazing! Darby is so nice and pleasant to talk to. And she treats my two doggos even better than I imagined. I love the amount of communication about how the walks went and how the dogs are behaving while I'm out and about. My two rascals absolutely love her. As a first time user of the app I was concerned about trying this out but I have no regrets and I recommend it to others now. I can relax knowing that Darby is taking care of the kiddos.”
“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!”
“Kendi is amazing! She is so sweet with our boys and always makes sure they are happy and comfortable before she leaves. It’s so great to have someone trustworthy to take care of them. We highly recommend her!!”
“Vanesa was wonderful—attentive, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. She even offered to apply sunscreen to Piper, which was incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa is absolutely wonderful. My dog is always so excited to see her and loves their walks! She is very friendly and communicative, and also flexible, which I appreciate. I’m very grateful for her!”
“I'm so particular about who cares for my pets and enters my home while I'm not there, but I wholeheartedly trust Johanna! My girls love her and I know they're in good hands with her around. Absolutely my go-to walker / sitter!”
“I know dogs can’t speak, but Brooke is so kind and loving with her. She spent the last 10 minutes of her time with Dottie on the floor loving her, when she so didn’t need to. Absolutely love Brooke.”
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for

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!

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.

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!! 🫶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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 Northridge. 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.
