“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: 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
About: Pet sitting and dog walking were my first jobs at 10 and something I have continued on and off over the years. I have great experience with both cats and dogs such as feeding, hygiene, and keeping my furry friend happy! Currently working part time as a full time student. Although my schedule can be busy I can communicate and compromise! My available days are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays for mornings or evenings. By communicating with you I would like to find what you are most comfortable with to keep your fur baby safe! I can send you updates during care and with supplies provided by you keep a safe and fun environment to create a joyful experience.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs, basic training, and keeping routines consistent so your pet stays happy and stress free I’m available Thursday through Sunday with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I prioritize maintaining your dog’s routine, including feeding times, walks, and play, so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every dog in my care. I do have friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own, so if your pet is comfortable around other dogs, they’ll have great companionship and supervised playtime. If your dog prefers space or requires separation, I can easily accommodate that and ensure they have a secure environment. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions, including crating if needed, to match your dog’s routine and your preferences.
About: So many friends and neighbors wanted me to take care of their dogs when i was just a kid cause they knew that i can understand their language.

You will be receiving really nice photos of your pups🐶 I am at home 24/7 if needed no problem with that, home is fun with a furry baby we can watch movies and cuddle!!!

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!

“I can’t recommend Julia enough - she walked my two dogs, followed all my care instructions and sent me detailed pics, videos and descriptions about her time with them. Her communication is amazing! I’m an instant repeat client!”
About: Hi! My name is Su, and I'm based in the San Fernando Valley. I've been providing pet care for roughly 5 years. Having grown up around animals, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants some company and cuddles, I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. This summer, I'm available Monday through Friday at any time, with occasional weekend availability as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pets, and I can't wait to help give them the care they deserve! I've worked with children for the past 7 years, many of whom have special needs, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail. Since I'm off for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm available on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with occasional weekend & housesitting availability. Because of my flexible schedule, I can easily fit walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention into my daily routine. I'll make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible while you're away, so they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I'll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household guidelines you provide. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. If requested, I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I love taking care of pets, I feel like they’re my babies. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play and walk with your pups. I’m available for boarding every night. I will be giving your dog all the attention needed, and treating him like my own. Feel free to bring their favourite toys so we can play together. I have a park near my apartment where we can go take a leash walks and fresh air. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member.
About: My name is Andy, and I am a loving and responsible caregiver.I love to walk around the park and throw the ball. If playing fetch isn't your thing, we could always go for a stroll around the neighborhood. I have been taking care of other people's animals for 10 years. I live in the Chatsworth area, close to parks and a nice neighborhood. I will take the time to get to know your pet, and adapt to his or her personality. Every animal is different. I have experience with senior animals as well as puppies. Walks last for a full 30 minutes. If for some reason there is a problem with weather, rain storms, walks will be rescheduled. Thanks for looking, references available upon request. I currently work part time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets.

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a huge love for animals from a very early age—and that’s only grown with age! I love being able to provide animals with the love and happiness they need to thrive, so being a dog sitter is just a dream come true for me. I don’t think there’s anything like having a dog in our lives, so it’s always been my goal to give back to animals however I could. I also know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! I have tons of experience taking care of animals, so your dogs will be in good hands no matter what. I’ve been a long-time pet sitter, and have worked mostly with celebrity clients. I’ve always loved taking care of animals, and am now in a great position to expand my clientele! In addition to sitting, I’ve also done my fair share of rescuing, and consider it a very big part of my work and life. I have nine dogs of my own, and many of them are rescues! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. If your pup is staying with me, they’ll be welcomed into a very dog-friendly household! I live in North Hollywood in a large and spacious house. Most importantly, however, there are lots of friends to keep us company. In addition to me and my dogs, my business partner and lifelong friend Sheila will be assisting with all things care-related! She’s been with me for over 6 years and has been an amazing presence. I’m also committed to caring for your pups just as you would care for them at home, which means plenty of free space to roam around as well as never being crated (unless specifically requested). It’s just my duty to make sure your pups are as happy as can be! I work as a pet sitter full time. I will always be there for your furry family member. I will always care for them as if it’s my own. Your pet will have the run of my home, sofa and bed included. Nothing is off limits. I care for your pet like they’re my own.
About: I ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager Friends and family always relied on me to take care their fur babies when needed. I really really love dogs. And they feel my love. I guarantee they feel safe and comfortable with me I have experience from tiny to big breed I am currently full time at home taking care of my elderly parents. I lost my dog in March. So I have all my love to give to your dog. I have a big fenced yard. I feed them play with them and go to walks. I can easily crate your pet if it’s asked. Also I can take care senior dogs give medication injection.
About: My family has owned dogs and cats my entire life. I don’t think there has been a single day in my life where I didn’t own a pet or have responsibility for one. Including the Marines under my charge. Animals. Seriously, though… Pets love me. I am also a firm believer in following instructions to a T. People are often surprised when I ask to meet their dog, they tell me that the dog is skittish or afraid, and then the dog walks slowly up to me like they’ve known me forever and then we’re best friends. I feed my two cats, Chief and Cosmos, daily at 8am and 8pm. Cosmos requires special dietary food, so my wife and I bought chip-specific feeders for each cat. I also make sure they stay physical with my fishing rod toys, as well as ensure clean facilities for the… you know. It all comes down to showing them love, providing for them, and protecting them. I treat my two cats like they were my own kids. We don’t deserve their love if we can’t give it to them. It’s inhumane.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up so i grew up a dog lover! I recently got a kitten and i’m in love with her. I’ve always been around animals and taking care of them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
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!! 🫶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Northridge on Rover is $17.76 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 16,843 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.
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 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.
