“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!”
“Michael was awesome with Sherman. Very communicative and quick to respond. He took Sherman on a longer walk than I normally do (he’s aggressive towards other dogs)! I will definitely book with Michael for all my pet walking needs!”
“My dog is so in love with Jeff, I’ve been calling him her boyfriend! I love knowing she’s going to be tired out after a walk with him, and that she’s can get all the cuddles and playtime she wants when I book him. Thank you!!”
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: I’m a nurturer by nature! I care and love all pets because they are truly family members. Being trusted with your lovely fur baby is such a honor! I’m available mornings 8-930am, lunch time 12-1, and afternoons from 430-530 for fun walk times. Available also for boarding with a week in advance notice I have access to doggy parks for both big and small dogs. I make sure all pets feel truly comfortable and get in some good play time. I can also walk if needed.
About: I have owned dogs for over 40 years. I have taken care of my family dogs for years. I especially comfortable with German Shepards and large dogs. I have recently retired from my full time job. So, I am available anytime Monday through Sunday to take care or walk your dogs mornings or evenings. I currently own a 12 year old shepherd who loves other dogs. I have a good size yard but the dogs would never be left alone outside. I have several bed areas for dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have dog sat since 2021 including special needs dogs! Dogs and cats tend to love me and I love them just the same! They’re your babies and I vow to treat them as such! I’m planning on working part time and schooling is mostly online which means I have a ton of downtime to spend quality time with your furry friends! I will safely crate or pen your pets if needed and will make sure they are in the safest most comfortable home they can be in at the current moment!
About: What sets me apart is the amount of attention and care I’m able to give because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to spend more time with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m patient, attentive, and focus on making pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m also careful to follow each owner’s instructions closely so their pet’s routine stays consistent. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including playful young pets that need extra attention and senior pets that may need a calmer, gentler approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I enjoy taking short breaks to spend time with pets, making sure they get exercise, stimulation, and companionship. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean and give them calm interaction or play depending on their personality. I also pay attention to their behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was the age of ten. Neighbors, friends, roommates, and family would rely on me to drop by if needed. I have always loved animals, and I will make sure your animals are healthy and happy. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from small to large, and I even cared for all three of my siblings' dogs at once for about a full year. My schedule is pretty flexible! Wednesdays can be pretty busy, but other than that, feel free to request a booking, and I will respond as soon as possible. With my previous dog, I made sure she lived her life to the fullest. I took her on walks twice a day to the dog park right next to the neighborhood, but at specific times. As she aged, of course I had to decrease walks or distance. We gave her medication orally. The last dog I dog sat, she had a leg injury, so I had to make sure she didn’t jump off the couch or do anything to stress her injuries. I always accommodate what the owner wants for their pets, and I love playing with the dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up always having them as part of my family. My current dog is 11 years old, and I’ve cared for her ever since she was just 4 months old. Four years later, I welcomed another dog into my life, which taught me even more about balancing different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Overall, I have a lot of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and animals have always naturally gravitated towards me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student in clinical rotations, which currently allows me to offer check ins and walks in the early mornings and afternoons. I am available for boarding on weekends, and can provide attentive, consistent care during those times. When caring for pets in their own home, I will prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining their normal routine. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, and house routes. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.
“Amazing and very flexible with walks. My dog loves her and he usually doesn't like most people coming into the house. Can't recommend her enough”
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed forever. I briefly planned to be a vet… until I discovered how temperatures are taken and quickly pivoted to professional pet spoiler. I’m the friend everyone calls for reliable dog sitting and cat sitting, and I treat every pet like my own (nicknames absolutely included). I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your house rules, and big on clear communication with photo and video updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. After fostering a dozen pups, I had my first foster fail in 2014 when Stevie came home for good. He’s now my geriatric chihuahua, living his best life fueled by naps, Greenies, and prime sunbathing real estate. Your pet will get the same loving, attentive care! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule much of the week, which allows me to give pets in my care plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about structuring my time around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always aim to keep each pet on their normal routine to minimize stress. Because I share my home with a senior chihuahua, I’m especially attuned to comfort, safety, and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or extra cuddle time, I build pet care into my week so every animal gets reliable, loving attention. I keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, walk, medication, and care instructions — right down to favorite toys and nicknames. I treat every client’s home with great respect and always keep things clean and tidy. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, and I stay very attentive to your pet’s comfort, safety, and energy level. With my fostering experience and senior pet background, I’m patient, observant, and quick to flag anything that seems off. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
About: Hello! My name is Avril, and I am very excited to meet your pet! I have taken care of dogs across all life stages, from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently getting my dog trainer certification as well. I have two friendly and playful dogs of my own, so I understand how important routine, care, and safety are to a pet. Having cared for the pets of friends and neighbors for years, I make sure to treat every dog like my own♥️ Thankfully I'm always at home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship, potty breaks, and my full attention! I'm also experienced with giving medications on strict schedules and structuring exercise to your dog's fitness level. You can be away with full peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands🐶 I am currently at home full-time and not bound by any schedule, so pet care is my main daily routine. Fortunately, my entire day revolves around the happiness and comfort of the dogs in my care :) BOARDING AND HOUSE SITTING: I can care for your dog in either your home or in my own. I have a fenced yard where your dog can safely run around and burn off some energy throughout the day, and my two dogs (who love visitors) will provide the perfect social environment. My home has a spacious interior which will give your dog room to stretch, hangout, and nap. I can adapt completely to your pet's schedule with my 24/7 at-home care! DROP-INS: I can drop in to check on your pet up to 3 times a day! This includes feeding times, potty breaks, and some playtime to help keep your dog happy and comfortable while you're away. WALKS: I do up to 3, 30-minute walks a day of varying intensity levels that fit your dog's needs. We can do a nice stroll around the neighborhood, a fun walk through a park, or a dog-friendly hike!
“What a great relief to find Jacqui! Our dobie Marko almost immediately took to her with his tail vibrating with joy before they left for their hour walk. He returned panting and somewhat worn out for the rest of the afternoon. This is the first time we've used Rover - add to that our anxiety about leaving him with a "stranger." Other pet parents will understand how reassuring it is to find someone who can connect with one's fur baby. Jacqui's a pro with great instincts - asking about quirks like where he likes to be scratched, etc. We've already booked her for more walks which Marko is looking forward to.”
About: For over 15 years I’ve worked with cats, and for over 10 years I’ve worked with dogs. I’ve personally owned dogs, cats, small pets, and farm animals. I don’t work full time, so I have the flexibility to be available for your fur babies needs. Can be flexible with whatever schedule you need. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight stay, your babies needs are my first priority. I work hard to ensure they are comfortable with me and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of our families pets over the years, walking, playing, feeding and caring for them. Friends trust me to watch their dogs, and I enjoy doing it! I work from home on creative endeavors and I’m fortunate enough to be able to create my own schedule. I’m flexible and happy to work my schedule around yours! I’m happy to care for your pet in your own home, and will follow any instruction you can provide for me. I’m easy going and efficient.

Heather is amazing! I have three dogs who can be quite a handful, but she handles them with ease. She’s incredibly reliable, patient, and genuinely loves dogs. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. We’re so lucky to have found her! Highly recommend!

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 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 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 Simi Valley after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
