“Our family is so thankful for Luis! He is professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. Luis has helped us with both walking and training our golden doodle and we highly recommend him!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since a young age, regularly helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting and dog walking. I also gained experience working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in Sacramento, where I provided reliable, attentive care for approximately one year. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue my college education, I brought that same dedication and passion for animal care with me. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, so I have plenty of free time to check in for a potty break or to take your pup on a nice long walk. I am free during the week after 10am and can be available for most weekends. I always want to make sure that the pet feels the most comfortable in their own home. Whether they are excited to see me or may be more hesitant, I always stay patient and meet them where they are at.
About: Hi there! I moved to California exactly a year ago, and it’s been such a joy connecting with new paw-rents and their amazing animals. I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including kennel work, fostering, house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I previously worked for a pet care agency in Florida similar to Rover, and I take this work very seriously—every pet in my care is treated like family. What sets me apart is that I’m a student groomer, a practical animal communicator, and a passionate animal advocate. I also have an upcoming grooming internship, and my long-term dream is to become a veterinarian to help stray animals and families who can’t afford care. I’ve worked in dog daycare and absolutely loved it. I currently live with three dogs (my babies!) and two beloved rats, my soul creatures. I have a soft spot for rescue animals and often foster until they find their forever homes. I'm also open to caring for other animals besides dogs—whether it’s cats, small animals, or even the unusual! (Just no T-Rexes, please 🦖😭) I’m honest about my availability, respectful of your home, and always focused on making sure both you and your pet feel safe and supported. Every animal deserves love, dignity, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m also trilingual! I speak English, Spanish, and ASL—so feel free to reach out in the language that works best for you. I believe care should be accessible, inclusive, and heart-centered 🐾💛 My dogs & rats eat breakfast every morning at 10am, enjoy small veggie snacks around noon, and have dinner at 4pm. Their health and routine matter to me, so I carry that same care and consistency over to the pets I care for. Pet care is not just part of my routine—it’s part of who I am. My furkids are my family—so if your dog is friendly and gets along with others, I’m happy to welcome them in. I’m easygoing, but I do ask for honesty about your dog’s behavior, health issues, and whether they’re potty trained. If your dog has an accident due to anxiety, illness, or youth, that’s absolutely okay—I understand and will help however I can. But if I’m not informed ahead of time and your dog isn’t potty trained, I do charge $100/night, as it affects my home and how my own dogs behave. I’ve fostered before, raised puppies and kittens, and even cared for momma animals—so I’m flexible. What matters most to me is clear, honest communication. If we work as a team, everyone (pets included!) will be happy.
“Was great to meet you Perry! Thank you for being curious about Buddy’s unique needs. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness, excellent communication, and helpful suggestions!”
About: I've owned pets for the past 33 years as an adult. (I was also raised with cats and dogs growing up.) As an empty nester I'm enjoying this phase in my life caring for other people's furry family members as well. I am a pet owner, so I treat other people's pets as if they were my own. I am caring, reliable, trustworthy, responsible, and have A LOT of pet experience. I look for someone like myself when hiring a petsitter. I lead a very active lifestyle, usually I start my day at the gym or dance class then pick up dog walking jobs immediately following, mid-day or evening time. I do not have a job outside of the house besides petsitting. I have a completely fenced in large backyard. There is no way a dog could get out of my yard and I keep animals inside with me anyway, just go out for playtime and potty. I am aware that some pets like to try and escape so am extremely cautious when petsitting. I am thorough, clean up all dog poop and litter boxes, refill water bowls and feed animals as needed, give treats and/or medications as needed, and take dogs for walks. Currently I do not offer boarding because I am having home renovations being done and it would be disruptive/stressful for animals, but do plan on adding boarding at a later date.
About: With three years of experience in the veterinary field and starting at the age of 18 , I have successfully advanced from kennel assistant to receptionist and now to veterinary assistant. Having grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, fishes, hamsters I have developed a lifelong passion for animal care. I am dedicated to making every animal feel safe in my care and building strong, trusting relationships with owners. I work 10-hour shifts four days a week from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am only available Sunday through Tuesday. However, I can accommodate requests outside of these days after my shift ends If available To ensure I provide the best care for your pet while you are away, I ask for pet parents to write down or print out an instruction sheet for me including details like: - Pet Care & Activities: Any specific routines or activities you would like me to do with their pet. - Medication (if applicable): The exact name, dosage, and schedule. - House Duties: Tasks like taking out the trash or picking up after your pet in the yard.
“We LOVE Randi!!! She takes great care of Ruda, even taking her to play at her house with her dogs before it after her walk, if I want. But she always walks her, which she needs for exercise, not just babysits. We couldn't be happier. She is walking her twice a week. I wish I'd found her sooner!”
“Jeff did an excellent job taking care of our dog Dexter. Followed every instruction left for him and was very caring with him. If I ever need his services again, I’d definitely reach back out!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little guy during his walk! 😍 He may look like a big boy on the outside, but he’s actually very timid on the inside—and we are so grateful that you approached building a connection with him with such gentle sensitivity. 🙏🏻 Next time, we’ll definitely come straight back to you! 😉”
About: Hi, I'm Ever and I have provided pet care to family and neighbors' pets since I can remember! More recently, my father's 3 dogs and fish! I have also partnered with organizations to provide workplace visits where therapy animals, including dogs, can interact with employees. I currently work at home so I am available throughout the week and weekends, day and night. I support urgent and immediate requests as well! My mother and father were in wheelchairs their entire lives, so it was important to ensure safety mechanisms that would benefit both our family and pets. I will be able to provide similar, if not more, support for your pets, home and family!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years through my own pets and helping family and friends with theirs. I have experience training dogs in basic skills such as sit, down, stay, touch, recall, heel, leave it, and go to place. I also have a good understanding of dog behavior and body language, including how to redirect unwanted behaviors using reward-based training. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from small dogs to large and giant breeds, as well as cats and puppies. I have hands-on experience with walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and basic obedience training. I especially enjoy working with puppies and practicing skills such as sit, down, stay, recall, leash manners, and impulse control using reward-based training. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and engaged while they’re in my care. I balance pet care with my school and work schedule, which gives me availability at different times throughout the week. I’m generally available mornings, with additional afternoon and evening availability on certain days. My schedule varies by day, so please include your preferred visit or walk time when sending a request. I’ll confirm that I can accommodate your pet’s schedule before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will communicate with you during each visit. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, puppies, and cats.
“This was my first time using Rover, and Alexandra was sure to make me feel confident about my choice. She was very informative and very communicative. I will definitely be using her for a future Rover Experiences for my boys. Thank you again!”
About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 7weeks and she is now 5 about to turn 6 years old, I enjoy taking her on walks and playing with her. I am only working part time right now so I have lots of open time, also my school schedule is easy so I have extra time My household takes very good care of our pets, with healthy food and good sleep. We also give our dog the exercise our dog that is needed.
“Sara is an incredibly kind and caring dog lover, taking the time to make sure our dog is happy and getting the exercise she needs. She is extremely personable and easy to work with. We couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our dog.”
“This was the second time I had Sierra review my dog, Bodhi. She was on time, came on short notice, and sent a pic of my dog chilling on his blanket. Very happy with her service and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Cayley is absolutely amazing. We had never tried Rover before and our family was nervous of the thought of hiring a petsitter that wasn’t family. However after getting to know Cayley, we quickly became so comfortable and trusting in her work! After coming back from vacation, we can tell how loved and well cared for our furry-loved one has experienced. She will take great pics and nice detailed descriptions of how your pet is doing which will give you peace of mind. Overall, (like previously said) Cayley is exactly who you need to take care of your pets! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Simi Valley
We couldn’t be happier with choosing Mariela to walk Kali. Kali, absolutely loved her long walk. Not only did she come home happy and tired (the perfect combo for an active young dog), but we also got a bunch of great photos throughout the walk that made us feel completely comfortable with our decision to use Mariela for walking our dog. It’s clear that Mariela truly cares about the dogs she walks, Kali warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the updates were thoughtful and reassuring. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive who will treat your pup like their own, look no further. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Simi Valley on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,302 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Simi Valley. 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 Simi Valley. 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 Simi Valley.

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 Simi Valley. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
