About: I understand the importance of getting the details right with every pet I work with. My family has a beautiful 60lb Pitbull mix who adores attention from people and enjoys barking at the sound of anything outside the house. Living with my dog let me learn his quirks-- understanding his diet and supplement routine, giving him the best spots on the couch for cuddle, and leaving low fi beats on when he is home alone to drown out outside noise. Understanding these quirks and details about each dog allows me to provide the best experience. I will bring that same care to your pet, meeting them where they are at and getting the details right to make sure they have the best experience and you have peace of mind. My currently job routine is contract based that lasts about 1-2 weeks a month. My goal is for Rover to be my part time job to fill in those gaps! When I am not on my contract, I want to dedicate my time to Rover. I would love to receive notes from the clients so that I can get a sense of what tasks they want done, or if there are specific dietary routines/needs of the dog. It will also be helpful so that I can understand things like, what are their favorite toys or what are their favorite petting spots. Taking in the feedback from the notes are important to me so that the owner can have peace of mind knowing that their dog is well taken care of.

About: I've been taking care of my own pets and other people's pets since I was in middle school. In college I volunteered at the local humane society to take pups for outings and walks so they could get out of the shelter for a bit and spent lots of time in the cat rooms giving pets and playing with the cats. I have had two senior dogs so caring for dogs or cats who have medication routines or special needs is no problem for me. And while I am not a dog trainer or a professional I am currently working with my dog, Banshee, on his reactivity and being in public spaces. Just know that while your fur babies are in my care I'll love on them and treat them like they were my own! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can make most arrangements work! I can also make odd-time arrangements work if that's something you need. While I cannot currently host additional pets in my home, I think taking care of your pet in their "comfort zone" is often the best option. You can trust that I'll take my shoes off inside and be the perfect guest while taking care of your beloved pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherman Oaks
Vanesa immediately instilled confidence when we first met. She knew exactly how to handle my pup and made me feel comfortable right from the start. She has been communicative, punctual, and incredibly kind to both my pup and me. It's clear she genuinely cares and is attentive to his needs. I'm so happy to have found her and would highly recommend her!

Brooke was amazing and so easy to work with! She accepted my last minute booking and made the entire experience completely stress free while I was at work. My pup felt super comfortable around her, and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Brooke followed all of my instructions perfectly, was reliable, and made everything so seamless. I’m so grateful for her help and will definitely be booking with her again!

We absolutely love having Bailey as our dog walker! She’s incredibly reliable, patient, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. One of our pups can be a little more challenging, and she has always been so understanding and kind with him. One of my favorite parts is the detailed updates she sends after every walk. They’re thoughtful, funny, and always make me smile—it feels like I get to experience a little piece of their adventure together. I couldn’t recommend her more!

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.

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 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 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 Sherman Oaks after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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.
