“Andrew did a great job walking our dog for a day while we were away! Very communicative and attentive, and gave great walk updates. It made us feel secure our dog was in good hands!”
About: Back home in Atlanta, GA, I cared for our family's dogs that lived to ten and fifteen years old, with our youngest dog turning fourteen this year. From walks on the leash, to fenced yard time, to cleaning indoor accidents, every animal deserves the care needed to live a happy, healthy life. Now, residing in LA County, I'm on year two of taking care of my rescue kitty. She is friendly but can always be kept in a separate room for guests' comfort. I live in a quiet neighborhood with safe, walkable sidewalks and have an in-unit balcony for fresh air in between walks! As a professional actor & NBA dancer, my work schedule varies each week. I feel most grounded when I schedule daily walks or park time for myself and would love a furry companion to enjoy the fresh air with! In addition to the entertainment industry, I work a remote job that brings hip hop dance programming to youth in underserved communities. These flexible hours allow room for pet care at various hours throughout the day, so I may continue working towards my passions whilst ensuring the best care for your pet. In my home, I have an in-unit balcony that allows dogs to get fresh air in between walks. The large windows and cat hammock overlooking the balcony make for a great view as well. The unit has plenty of open space with no fragile items/furniture accessible to pets. Just outside of my apartment building is a quiet, walkable sidewalk for leashed walks.
About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely care about the animals I watch. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care I have a senior dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with routines, medications, and taking things at an older pet’s pace. Over the years I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, birds, snakes, and just about anything else you can think of. I spent many years as a teacher, but recently made the decision to step into a slower pace of life. Now I’m available daily for pet visits or dogs walks. I love being able to give animals the calm, consistent attention they deserve. Right now I provide pet care (daily visits, walks etc) exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do not offer care in my own home.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I also have fostered dogs in the past. I am a full-time, online student studying architecture. I am able to do multiple walks a day, give attention, play and take lots of naps! I strive to give the most love and attention to all creatures. I have a patio for dogs to sunbathe in. A lot of grass area in our yard and also in sidewalks for potty breaks and long walks.
About: I've had many dogs growing up from a Chihuahua, Sharpei, Husky and now three of my own rescue mutts. Recently, I volunteered with a rescue in Agoura Hills bringing in dogs from Korea for a year, transporting them from LAX to an adoption center. Also, I have volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society and North Central Shelter here in LA. Paying close attention to detail, I administered daily medication, fed a special diet (often cooking homemade meals) and had monthly vet visits for a senior dog all while taking care of my young toddler. Since I've been a full time mom, I have most weekdays free between school hours and some evenings. When I don't have to take my daughter to her weekly activities, I am also available weekends. I'm pretty flexible and could be available on short notice. I have 3 dogs who are all potty trained and do not need to be crated. I understand everybody has different needs and environments, which I am open to assisting. I strongly believe in mental and physical stimulation for pets and therefore can play with them, give toys, snuffle mats, fetch balls, go over basic commands and even give baths. Walks are ideal in their own neighborhood, or just letting them out in their yard if that's what they're use to. I am able to give treats, or food when needed and give medication. Most importantly, I want my pets to feel safe, given undivided attention, and loved.
About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I've been the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after theirs. Most of that has been in-home care: feeding, fresh water, litter and cleanup, medication, and staying long enough that the animal actually gets some company instead of a rushed visit. I'm newer to walking dogs specifically, so I want to be upfront about that. What I bring is patience, consistency, and attention to how an animal is actually doing rather than just checking a box. I read body language well, I'll follow your routine exactly as you describe it, and I'd rather ask you a question than guess. If your dog needs anything particular on a walk, tell me and I'll do it that way every time. I run a tutoring business and my sessions don't start until the afternoon, so my weekday mornings and midday are completely open. That makes me a good fit for the late-morning to early-afternoon window when most dogs have been alone for hours and need to get out. I'm consistent week to week, so if you want the same time every Monday through Friday I can hold that slot for you. I'm offering walks and drop-ins only. Since I'm walking your dog in your own neighborhood, my attention is on your home and your street. I double-check gates and doors going in and out, keep the leash clipped until we're fully back inside, and I don't use retractable leashes. I keep dogs out of unfenced front yards and away from other dogs unless you've told me yours is friendly and you want the greeting. I'll follow whatever routine you already have, including which door you use, where the leash lives, and whether your dog gets water or a treat afterward. At home I have a fully fenced yard and cats, so I'm used to being deliberate about containment. If anything goes wrong on a walk you'll hear from me right away, not at the end of the day.
About: I have years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, walks, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I care for pets like they're my own — with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. I work full-time during the week, but I'm especially flexible on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends, and I'm happy to coordinate before/after-work visits to fit your pet's routine. I follow your instructions closely — including feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines — and I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and other areas secure. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and will let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. You can also expect regular photo and video updates throughout the stay, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Matt has been fantastic with our large breed Leonberger who is very particular about his humans ! He is a pleasure to work with, very responsive and reliable and our dog really likes him alot. He is a great dog walker/sitter, great at communication and we feel very lucky to have found him on rover. I highly recommend him.”
About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs for my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family for over a decade. I have a cat of my own, so I am comfortable with daily pet care routines. I have a flexible schedule and respond quickly with clear communication. I love animals and look forward to giving your cat or dog the care and affection they deserve. I am currently only working part-time, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I'm always ready to take care of your pet whenever needed! I arrive on time and follow your instructions closely all while sending frequent text/photo updates. I take great care of your pet while ensuring your home is safe and secure.
“Kia was AWESOME, our Vizsla loves him! Our crazy pup got 8k steps in and is now ready for a nap. Kia sent us photos and updates of Jeffrey’s progress the entire time, we will be booking with him again”
About: My Chihuahua Elote is my best friend, and I'll give the same love, care, and attention to your precious pet! I grew up with a Chiweenie and a Doberman, so I'm able to take care of dogs of all sizes. (I'm weirdly strong!) I also grew up with more cats than I can count of all breeds, shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I'm a freelance animated TV writer who recently started caring for animals professionally and would like to add to my client list. So let's chat dogs and cartoons! I'm a freelance writer, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I have a repeat dog client that I walk three times a week at 6pm, but that timing can be flexible if needed. I usually take care of my own dog before 11am, after that, I'm free to help out with yours! I live in an apartment so I take my dog out for a walk 3+ times a day. We welcome a small, dog-friendly pup to come hang out with us. My dog is super spoiled, so I've ensured that my place is safe, comfortable, and full of doggie amenities that your dog is free to enjoy as well.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little one. Since having my own animals over the years, I’ve come to understand the type of care we pet parents need when trusting someone new with our furry family members. I have a big house with a fenced in yard and I’m always happy to help out in a last minute bind, something planned ahead, or even something on the regular. I have a very flexible work schedule allowing me to be available at any time of the day. I’m up with before the sun and love to take multiple walks a day. My cat and I hang out when she feels like it. There is nothing more important to me than your pet feeling loved and their safety. I have a fenced in yard and a 4 bedroom house. I do have a cat at home who is good with other animals, but she can have a separate area of the house of your fur baby isn’t into it. I’m happy to crate if that is your routine. My goal is for your pet to have as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and happy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Samantha really is incredible to work with. She’s communicative, on time, and such a great care taker to Akira (my dog)! She’s understanding and empathetic. I truly appreciate her as my dog walker and I know Akira looks forward to their weekly walks. I highly recommend her services.
Veronica was absolutely amazing. She was very accommodating. She was able to take my dog last minute. She went on a long walk with my dog and also took him to the back and played with him. My dog was very happy to see her and I could tell that he had a great time. She’s a very nice person, and I will absolutely be booking again.
Helen is a dog walking rock star. We travel a fair amount, and knowing she has our pups is the reason we're not worrying the whole time we're gone. We come home to dogs who are calm, happy, and obviously well cared for, and that doesn't happen by accident — it's the exercise and the real attention she gives them. If you're looking for someone to trust with your dogs, it's Helen. AAA+++
This is me and my husband’s first time using Rover and with 2 dogs who can be reactive and have high energy, we had some reservations about picking a walker. Lauriane was very sweet and understanding of our dogs’ little quirks and the did great with her during our meet and greet and first walk together. She provided so many photos/videos which we really appreciated!! 10/10 recommend.
Jackie is incredible and soooo sweet and kind. She has been amazing with Leo and Juji! We absolutely love all the photos and videos she sends during the walk. It always give us peace of mind and make our day. It’s clear she genuinely cares about them, and they always come home happy and well-exercised. She’s reliable, communicative, and treats our pups like they’re her own. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker!
