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.

A little about me: I have walked, babysat, and trained many different types of breeds and sizes- from Havanese to Pitbulls, puppies to seniors! I am meticulous when it comes to details & care. My partner Troy and I both work from home- so we’re always available for your pup! I have a very open and flexible schedule. It allows me to cater to your dogs specific needs- be it multiple potty breaks or rigorous exercise. I have a private dog park (large & small), access to the Hollywood Hills for hikes. Our home has an ample room for crates, beds, and food dishes. Dogs are allowed on the furniture as well as in bed for cuddles!

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)
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.
About: I’m new to Rover, but have 6 years experience with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, and will treat your dog like one of my own. I’m comfortable handling puppy care and feeding schedules/medication instructions. I make sure they get adequate walks and exercise, and will send you cute photos of them if requested. I have long term experience caring for other people’s pets and maintaining the home when necessary. I just went back to school after nannying for 9 years, and my schedule allows for afternoons off Mon-Thurs, as well as Saturdays and Sundays. In those afternoon hours I want a flexible job that gets me outside and moving with furry companion. Combined with my love of dogs and the outdoors, I figured it would be a good job to have to be able to help out my four-legged friends. I will make sure pets get to go potty as soon as I arrive- whether that’s letting them out in a yard or taking them outside on a leash. I will check their water and food (if feeding is needed), as well as checking for any signs of accidents that may need cleaning. Pets will get a walk soon after I arrive, length depending on each dogs need. I’ll provide plenty of belly rubs and snuggles, as well as playing with toys if they so choose.

About: Hi! I’m Abbie and I can’t wait to meet your angels! I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and was a dog mom of three until recently my last soul dog passed away in February. All of my dogs have lasted until they were 15 - one of them lasting until she was 19 years old so I am very familiar + comfortable with older dogs. Opening to walking, playing, feeding, or even just visiting your dogs! Whatever is needed :) I’m currently unemployed so have a lot of free time and a very flexible schedule! There are some weeks I will be unavailable/traveling, but I will make sure that’s updated on my schedule! I have a fenced in back yard if you need your dog to come stay at my house for a little while you are gone. I don’t have any pets in the house so they will get all of the love + attention!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my family dog at 10 years old. She is almost 12 now and still the healthiest pup! Living far from home, I miss spending time with her so I love to care for others pets. Whether it’s going for walks, playing with toys, or giving endless pets I love it all! I do not currently work full time so I have plenty of room in my schedule to care for your pets! I have a pretty easy schedule that can accommodate caring for animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but I love being active so taking your pets for walks to let out some energy is easy for me. I have no pets but a wonderful roommate who loves animals and will happily spend all day giving pets!
About: I treat my dogs like my kids and I’ll treat yours the same way! I have two senior chihuahuas, Baby and Goldie (both 4 lbs), who are sweet and used to being around other dogs. Because of them, I specialize in caring for small dogs and really understand that they need extra attention, patience, and a gentle touch. I’m especially experienced with senior pups, including accidents and giving that extra bit of care. I keep a calm, safe environment and always make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to feel at ease leaving your pet with someone, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures as often as you’d like. Good communication is really important to me. I want you to feel totally comfortable while your pet is with me. I work from home so my schedule is flexible! I am constantly going on walks throughout the day. It’s important that my dogs don’t get bored. I live in a one bedroom apartment. My apartment is super dog friendly and has an elevator. I live on a quiet culdesac perfect for walking the dogs throughout the day. I’m also near Balboa park and go on walks there with my dogs!
About: I have had multiple pets from a very young age, and learning how to care for pets was a big part of my life. I specialize in high-energy breeds, but enjoy spending time with any type of animal. I work a remote job, so the entirety of my day can be focused on animals! I’m very big on consistency and reliability, so bathroom breaks and ample walking time are never things that bother me. I’d like to think the pets I’ve boarded have had a luxury experience. I am super thorough and attentive, and love spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes.
About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝

About: Lifelong pet owner, currently raising two cats. I did in home visits for my neighbors dogs for many years, and am looking for more pet sitting/boarding opportunities! I’m currently unemployed so caring for pets would be my full time gig. I do leave the house twice a day to commute my partner to and from work. I have a gate that separates my apartment in half; it’s in the middle hallway that connects the bedrooms to the main living area. Should the pets need a separate space, I can provide that for them! We also have lots of cat toys/activities and treats we can provide to them.
About: I have three standard poodles of my own! I spend extensive amounts of time training them, and helping them coexist with the humans. I’ll treat your babies just as my own! My schedule is flexible as I work 3 night shifts a week. Accommodations can be made as necessary so don’t hesitate to reach out for anything 3 friendly dogs, can help with training and obedience. I will update with photos, follow your feeding and bathroom schedules. Crate training and individual time is also a priority

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.

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.

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.

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.
