“Super quick response upon requesting a dog walking service. Natalie is awesome and so kind! Our larger size dog was taken on a nice evening stroll. Natalie went above and beyond and even hung out with our cat too. Which meant a lot to us! We recently moved to the USA, and we are very pleased with Natalie's service and will always try to book our future walks with her first. Thank you Natalie :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their people are away. I’m a freelance artist recently moved to LA. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to spend meaningful time with the pets. Whether your pet wants an energetic play session, a long walk, or simply someone to sit quietly beside them, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

“Had our first walk with Katherine she was great with my strong large pup. She was patient and attentive. Katherine remained calm and able to handle him even when we saw a cat! Her energy is soothing and my dog and I both felt safe and comfortable with her. She definitely is knowledgeable and has great experience with high needs dogs. I’m looking forward to having her walk my dogs regularly now.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve always had pets growing up. My first dog was a samoyed who lived until she was 18 years old. My second dog is a tea cup maltese who is back home with my parents and my current dog who is a mixed breed. I always dog sit for my cousins and friends. I love spending time with my dog as well as other dogs and cats as well as occasionally working with rescues to pick up and drop off dogs from the shelter. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time on me to care for my pup as well as other's. I have a very flexible schedule. I am well experienced taking care of pets. I listen to care instructions provided by doggy parents to best accommodate their pups. I can walk, feed, play, and keep your fur baby company following your instructions and pets needs

About: Loving family, we adore our four-legged friends. We have two pups of our own, Marley and Obi-Wan. They are a fun sweet duo. We all enjoy going on walks in the neighborhood and there are many dog parks and trails nearby. We have a decent sized back yard which is fenced in with a high fence. We live in a huge home with two stories has plenty of room for the pups to be comfortable and have their space. We typically only board one pup a night but we will make exceptions for same family or close friends. Safety is number 1 for us in this home. We’ve been taking care of pets for 10 years both walking, sitting and boarding. Look forward to meeting your babies.

About: I have 2 dogs: Milo, a 10 year old corgi-dachshund, and Libby, an 8 year old terrier mix. They don’t live with me (they’re at home with my mom) so everyday I miss having them around! I also cared for the sweetest pitbull mix during his senior stage. His name was Brewski and he will forever stay in my heart❤️ I’ve also volunteered for pet outings with the Humane Society where we take a dog out of the shelter on little adventures to help enrich/socialize them. I’ve also fostered puppies and a German-shepherd. 😊 I currently work from home full-time so I will have full flexibility to watch/play with your babies! We can go on walks in the morning, during my lunch hour, and after work. I am available for dog walking, day care, and boarding on weekdays and weekends. I live in a walkable community (next to the beach) where your fur baby and I can go on lots of adventures. We will have plenty of play time and of course, lots of cuddles!

About: About Me I’ve spent the last 40 years living with, caring for, and connecting with animals—and I still light up every time I’m around them. People often tell me I have a natural gift with animals: anxious dogs settle quickly, shy cats warm up, and even high-energy pets seem to relax in my presence. I’ve learned to read body language, respect each animal’s personality, and create an environment where they feel safe and understood. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, and the occasional other critter. Whether it’s a senior dog who needs gentle walks and quiet company, a puppy full of energy, or a cat who prefers soft conversation and a sunny windowsill, I adapt my approach to what they need. I’m calm, patient, and consistent—qualities animals respond to right away. When I’m looking after your pet, you can expect plenty of love, attention, and updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, because that’s simply how I am. After four decades of this, I still consider it a privilege every single time. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! How Pet Care Fits Into My Schedule As the cofounder of an AI EdTech startup currently in the fundraising stage, I work from home with a highly flexible schedule. Most of my day is spent on calls, investor meetings, and focused work—all of which I can do while keeping pets company. This means your dog or cat isn’t left alone for long stretches; they get consistent presence, mid-day walks or play breaks, and someone who can adjust timing around their needs. Because my schedule is fluid rather than rigid office hours, I can easily accommodate last-minute drop-ins, longer walks, or extra attention for pets who do better with more interaction. During fundraising, my days are busy but mobile—I’m often on the phone or laptop at home, so pets get the benefit of a calm, occupied human who’s still available for them. I treat pet care as a natural part of my day rather than something squeezed in, and I always build in dedicated time for walks, feeding, and check-ins so nothing is rushed. You’ll get reliable care plus regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is settled and happy while I’m working. How I Care for Pets Whether in my home or yours, I keep things calm, consistent, and as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. After 40 years with animals, I read body language well so most pets settle quickly and feel safe. I follow your feeding, walk, potty, and medication instructions exactly, and give extra attention or quieter time depending on the pet’s energy and personality. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets get company instead of long stretches alone. You’ll get regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: Hi!! My name is Mia and I’m a recent astrophysics grad. I’m someone who genuinely loves being around animals and brings a lot of energy, attention, and care into everything I do. I’ve owned and trained German Shorthaired Pointers and Dobermans (so yes… I can absolutely keep up with the chaos), including working with them in hunting shows. High-energy, smart, slightly dramatic dogs? I’m very used to it and honestly love it. I’m naturally very attentive and detail-oriented, which definitely comes through in how I care for pets. I notice the little things (examples: changes in behavior, mood, appetite) and make sure your dog is not just “watched,” but actually cared for and understood. I’m also an EMT with 5 years of experience, so staying calm, responsible, and ready for anything is second nature to me. Personality wise: I’m upbeat, reliable, and very “all in” when it comes to animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, structure, and affection (and probably be a little spoiled if I’m being honest). Whether they need lots of exercise, consistency with training, or just someone patient and calm, I adjust to what they need. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident leaving them with me 🤍 ✍🏻 Please note: I will have a contract you need to sign prior to me caring for your pet!! ‼️Attention owners‼️ Unfortunately due to my own safety and experience, I will not be able to house sit or care for any of the following breeds: Pitbulls, Cane Corsos, Presas, Doggo Argentino, XL Bullies, Boerboel, bully mixes, pit mixes and Corso mixes. I may not take certain Mastiff breeds due to my apartment. I apologise for any inconvenience and wish you luck on your dog care journey! If you wish for me to care for your cat, please book boarding!! I have a flexible and reliable schedule and am available to help care for your dog every day of the week. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or consistent ongoing care, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on your needs, and I prioritize consistency so your dog feels comfortable and secure. If you have a specific schedule in mind, I’m very open to coordinating and making it work for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have extensive experience with dogs, including owning and training German Shorthaired Pointers and Dobermans, so I’m very familiar with managing high-energy, intelligent, and strong-willed breeds. This background has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, body language, and the importance of structure, supervision, and consistency. I always prioritize a safe, controlled environment during walks and care visits, and I’m attentive to details like leash handling, surroundings, and following your instructions exactly. I’m comfortable reinforcing training routines and making sure your dog stays both physically safe and emotionally at ease. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable, experienced hands.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I grew up helping my mom with Second Chance Animals, a nonprofit where we took in abandoned, mistreated, and unwanted animals, cared for them, and helped them find loving homes. I also volunteered at a veterinary hospital during high school, so I’ve spent my entire life around animals with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, running, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll follow their normal routine closely and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and any instructions you provide. Communication is also incredibly important to me, so you can expect plenty of updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I have a dog of my own who is my absolute pride and joy. She does not accompany me to pet sitting visits, so your pet will have my full attention in their own environment. I know exactly how I want someone to treat my girl when I’m not there, and that is the same level of patience, attentiveness, affection, and care I will give yours. As an added source of reassurance, my best friend is a veterinarian at VCA Animal Hospitals and is someone I can reach out to if I ever have a question or concern while caring for an animal. Of course, I will always follow your instructions and contact you directly if anything concerning comes up, but I appreciate having a trusted veterinary professional in my corner. Your pets are family. When they’re with me, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. ❤️ I am currently working from home and able to do so from anywhere. I just moved from Seattle and did rover for a number of years there. I’m a great house sitter and will get mail/trash/food deliveries done for you on time (I have even cleaned aquariums for clients). I would follow all house rules and respect the owners home. Being in your house would mean that your animal would be more comfortable than introducing them to a new environment. The comfortability of you and the animal are my priority.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old, family, friends, neighbors and those who just deserve love. I have volunteered with ARF multiple times and loved every second. Any chance I get to improve our best friends lives, I will take! I’m currently in school and would be able to come check in and/or stay with your baby. I have varying class times during the week and would take every break I get to come hangout! I can’t wait to meet your best friends! Whenever I enter another clients home I make sure to ask all the questions I can about the environment the owner has created. I only ever intend to enhance comfort and safety for your pet.

I was extremely nervous and even more unprepared for how vulnerable my first experience having a dog sitter was. Jamia arrived as if she'd always been a part of our lives. I can't seem to find words deep enough to express how grateful I am to have had her watch over my dog who is my entire world. Jamia was just as patient with me as she was with him! All of my instructions and guidance for handling my pup she superseded and with each walk and every photo throughout his experience I felt so much more calm. I want to also emphasize the difference in how much more patient and calm my doggie was when I returned from my trip he was definitely changed by his time with Jamia - from the both of us we appreciate you and wish we could give you a 10 star recommendation. Thank you so much.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Playa del Rey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Playa del Rey is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $38 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 19,196 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Playa del Rey. 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 Playa del Rey. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Playa del Rey after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.

  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
