About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of affection. I always focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and relaxed while their owners are away, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m fully available on weekends from Friday evenings to Monday mornings and can provide consistent care, regular walks, feeding, and supervision. Great for dogs who need extra attention or routine. I’ll customize my schedule perfectly to fit your needs 🐾 I aim to create a safe, clean, and loving environment where dogs feel at home. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I never leave dogs unattended in unsafe situations. I treat every dog with patience and respect, just like I would my own.

About: Experience I have with doggos comes a lot from my baby Sophie. I’ve been raising her since she was a few months old all the way to today at 15 years old. I learned a lot about dogs and how to take care of them because of her. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits great in my schedule. I’m an independent contractor so I’m able to walk dogs then start my other job whenever I’m done with the walks or drop ins. I’m very attentive and always want to make sure the fur babies are in a nice cool environment getting treats, belly rubs, and outdoor stimulation.

About: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.

Kerry is just a pleasure and our little guy (90lbs) Oscar loves her. Oscar knows the sound of her car and he starts his happy dance celebrating his upcoming walk well before she has come to the backyard. She is very reliable and takes wonderful care of our boy Without fail she let's us know how the walk went with a photo or two as well . We highly recommend Kerry and believe you will find her to be as wonderful as we do

About: I had the pleasure of growing up alongside the most wonderful mix of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, a rat, a chinchilla, a hedge hog, fish, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, a pigeon, quails, and even a peacock! My parents showed me the ropes of pet care long ago when they started a horse boarding stable and their own Rover pet sitting service. I joined them on many dog walks, cat visits, and pet feedings, enjoying the time we got to share with so many animals. I now own two beautiful guinea pigs named Bob and Teddy that definitely border on spoiled in their luxury pig oasis. I personally can't imagine life without the joy pets bring us, and I want to make sure your pets get the same love you give them when you're away! I currently run an Etsy shop out of my apartment, so I am always able to quickly get to your pets as needed. I am free to fit the schedule of your pets to ensure their normal feedings and play times remain untouched when you're away. Since I already commonly work on the weekends for my shop, I have no problem getting the chance to care for your pet any day of the week. I will follow the instructions you leave for your pet to follow with care. As someone who knows animals, I know their routines are vital to their comfort. I will happily let pets out in a fenced yard, go for walks, and feed to their needed schedule. I'm also very willing to care for a variety of pets! The less common Rover clients deserve love and care, too!

About: Need a trustworthy sitter for your furry friend? I offer drop-in visits and walks that include feeding, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I’m an observant and patient caregiver who treats every dog like my own. I have experience with both small and large breeds. I also have experience with other animals including fish, birds, rodents and reptiles. As an all around animal lover you can count on me to treat your best friend with love and respect. I am currently working part-time from home in the Sherman Oaks area. My schedule generally is flexible as long as I am given enough notice. I treat every drop-in visit as an opportunity to make your pet feel loved and secure while you’re away. I start by checking your pet’s wellbeing and temperament, followed by their scheduled feeding and fresh water. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs for multiple families. My experience includes both drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own homes and routines. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, providing feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I work full-time, so I only accept pet care bookings on my days off or after I’m done with work for the day. This helps me ensure that every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I keep my Rover calendar updated so owners can see when I’m available. I believe pets are happiest when their usual routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and updates so owners can have peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and positive experience for every pet while treating both the pet and the home with respect.

About: I’m newer to Rover but not new to loving animals 😊 I’ve helped care for pets for people in my life and quickly became the one they trust to check in, walk, and spend time with their pets. I’m patient, reliable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m also very attentive to routines and will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have complete availability and am able to work on you and your furry friend’s schedule! I am able to provide drop ins multiple times a day as well! Your pet’s comfort and safety is my priority, so I appreciate learning of their preferences and safe spaces within their home! I’m always willing to meet them where they’re at, respect any boundaries and be a respectful guest in their safe space.

About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.

About: Lifelong pet parent to dogs, cats, fish, birds and hamsters. I also petsit for all my friends and love working with the big two (dogs and cats). I also have 3 years of volunteering experience with the Pasadena Humane Society, where I worked with socializing dogs. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any day for walks, feedings, check-ins and overnight boards. I am available most times of day/night as well. No matter which pet I take care of, I act and treat them as if they were my own. Pets can feel vulnerable without their parents and I do my best to ease anxiety for an easier visit.

I reached out around 8:30 at night looking for a last minute walk, and he responded right away and was able to come that same evening. He showed up on time, was really friendly, and did a great job with my anxious dog. I was a little worried since my dog has been having a hard time lately, but he was so patient with him. When they got back, my dog seemed so much happier and more relaxed. I really appreciated how responsive and reliable he was, and I would definitely book with him again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sherman Oaks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Sherman Oaks on Rover is $27.75 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 18,368 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sherman Oaks. 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 Sherman Oaks. 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 Sherman Oaks.

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 .

  • 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.
