About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.
“Ilona is amazing. Very friendly and takes great care of Munchie on his walks. She also goes the extra mile to help out with anything she can while visiting. I highly recommend her, and I am very happy with her services. 5 out of 5.”
About: I've been working with and caring for my clients pets since 2020. I've had dogs and cats all my life growing up. My clients testimonies speak for themselves. I'm a full time animal care service provider. My schedule works around my clients and their schedules, very flexible with changing dates if needed, i only ask you give me a heads up notice of 1 day or more. I believe God created animals to care for and to love. Pets are an amazing gift of life. I treat each of my clients pets as if they are my very own.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and all ages! I have some experience taking care of puppies/younger dogs. I’ll be your pets good friend :) I’m on summer break from university right now, but once I get started in classes again my availability is limited to the weekends. For now, I can work any day except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can watch and take care of a pet in any circumstance. I am able to crate dogs too. I like to play with and bond with pets so they don’t get too bored.
About: Hi! I'm Kiana, and I have many years of experience with all kinds of pets, both under my own roof and within others' homes. I have owned and loved pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and various personalities. I find so much joy in getting to know pets, as they typically reflect their humans- and I'm willing to serve their needs in any way. Ultimately, I'm fully committed to keeping your pet safe, secure, and making sure that they're loved! I'm currently a student on summer break, and I'm searching for a part-time job at the moment. With that being said, I currently have plenty of availability throughout the week. I'm available 8am - 8pm during weekdays and Saturdays, and on Sundays I'm available after 2pm. During times that I am working, though, I typically come early in the morning (or wake up early if I'm already at a client's house), care for the pet(s), go to work, and then come back either during lunch time or at the end of my shift. It all honestly depends on the pets and their needs, but I am completely flexible! When I go to a client's home, I take extra care to respect their property and only go into delegated areas. My job is to care for the pet and maintain the homeowner's trust, so if a mess is made or an accident happens, I go the extra mile to inform the client immediately and take care of it as soon as possible. I want to make sure your pet feels loved and safe, especially within their own home. Even more so, I want the client to feel at ease, knowing that both their property and beloved pet are being cared for!
About: I am an active college student and mom to a 9 month old baby. I would love to take care of your fur babies as well whether if it’s just for an evening walk or have a sleepover during your vacation. I love to go to Starbucks or even just lounge on the couch and watch movies. I can provide any kind of care according to your puppy’s needs. I’ve taken care of my moms dog for about 8 years now and I adore dogs of all breeds and sizes and so excited to meet them all! According to each need of the dog I would either have a super active day, moderate work an outing and home or just a cozy, stay in day. I have mostly online school so I can rearrange my schedule to fit my work schedule as well. My apartment is perfect size for any pet and we are in perfect walking distances to huge parks and very close to a coffee shop to grab a pup cup ! We also have a great trail around which we could walk to.
About: My whole life I have adored both dogs and cats which fuels my passion to help them out when you need a break! It's a win-win scenario. Experience includes cleaning, bathing, medication administration, record keeping, food prep / schedules, litter box maintenance, dog walking, long-term house sitting, and personal assistant services such as managing emails, mail, finances, appointments, and phones. Anything outside of my wheelhouse I am happy to learn! Ask away if you have any questions 🙂 I currently have a flexible and free schedule, 7 days a week. I will update my availability on specific days I am not available. Afternoon, evenings, and overnight are always preferred, but can make some mornings work with advance notice I pay close attention to the needs of my clients' furry friends in their homes. I have been given instruction manuals before in which I follow carefully and am happy to take notes on any verbal communications. It's your house, your rules!
About: I've been caring for pets for years through my own fur babies (6 year English Bull Dog named Maya and previously a 10 year old boxer named Sugar), as well as helping my friends and family with their fur babies while they're away or helping with walks. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable you can trust to care for pet, and I treat every fur baby with all the love as if they were my own. I'm comfortable and confident with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and updates while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, love, happy, and that you have the peace of mind knowing that they're in great hands while you're away. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of times with the pets I'm caring for. While I may occasionally leave for errands or appointments, I have the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions you might have to help them feel comfortable while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. My goal is to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel secure and happy until your return.
“Leah and Edward were great treating walking my two senior pups. One gets very fearful and is partially blind and they were gentle and able to get her going on a walk. They communicated with me every step and sent photos. We Will definitely recommend and use them again!”
About: I love animals. Its a special thing to be able to share your life with your pet, and the anxiety I feel when I leave them is palpable. I would want only the best caretaker for my animals, and that's what I do and what people know me for. I look forward to meeting you and your friendly animals! I'm fully available, so anytime you need me to drop in or stay I'm available. I can only provide service in the Santa Clarita Valley By following feeding schedules, administering medication, and providing appropriate exercise and playtime. I maintain an open line of communication with my clients, and am available for you when needed

We fully incorporate them into our family, and love and care for all living things! We love pets! I work a very flexible schedule, working a max of 3 days a week. I find at least 45 minutes a day to walk my pets so understand the need for animals to get out of the house, sniff, potty, and see new environments during the day. Our pets are fully incorporated into our home and our family. They are allowed inside, get at least one walk a day, but strive for 2, their health is maintained and prioritized, and Safety for my pets, other peoples pets, and the owners is always a priority.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely love caring for pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and big on making sure animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to give your pet all the attention they deserve. I’m also a mom, so caring for little creatures and keeping a routine is basically my specialty. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available during the week and on weekends for walks, drop ins, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, whether I’m caring for them in your home or taking them for a walk.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clarita
This is our second time booking Jessica for walks with our two dogs, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again! She’s incredibly reliable, professional, and communicative. Our dogs absolutely adore her and are always excited to see her, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands when we’re not home. Highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Rachel is a caring, attentive and very easygoing person to deal with everything she promised to do, She did, and my dog absolutely loves her. I would recommend her anytime. This was the first time I entrusted anyone either my dog and they hit it off from the get go.
One of our dogs, Othello, struggles with intense resource guarding and is very uncomfortable around strangers. Caroline was incredibly patient and kind from the very beginning. She went above and beyond by extending our meet‑and‑greet into multiple sessions so Othello could gradually feel safe with her before we officially booked her services. This was our first official booking with Caroline, and it went very well. While we were present, we could clearly see Othello beginning to trust her. He allowed Caroline walk him in our neighborhood, then into our backyard, played with her, and even took treats from her—huge milestones for him. These may seem like small things for well‑adjusted dogs, but for Othello, they were a big deal. We truly appreciate Caroline’s patience, understanding, and willingness to work at Othello’s pace. We plan to continue working with her so both Othello and Caroline can become fully comfortable with each other for future situations when we are away, and she can care for him in our home, along with our other dog, Juno.
Deanna did an excellent job caring for and walking Polo. She followed all of our instructions and sent plenty of photos reassuring that everything was going well. She handled every situation confidently, and Polo even got a new toy! We’d definitely contact Deanna again to take care of Polo :)
Jake did a great job with our crazy hyper dog and also our super cautious dog. He let our cautious dog come up to him whenever he wanted and sniff around him, allowing him to feel safe, without feeling the need to make the dog like him (which has been a huge mistake others have made with our dog in the past). So he is one of those people who has very good dog energy, if you have a timid/scared dog that needs someone like that around. He also kept our crazy dog busy with ball throwing the whole visit. We were really happy with him overall. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Santa Clarita is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $35 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 October 2026, there are 14,125 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Santa Clarita. 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 Santa Clarita. 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 Santa Clarita 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Clarita. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
