Dog Walkers in Sun Valley, CA

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and pets ever since I was young, including my own. I’m super patient and loving, I tend to all their responsibilities and needs. I love all kinds of dogs, small to large! I am also a nutrition consultant for dogs-the mission: to help dogs live a better life with the right diet. I’m currently in school for pre-vet but I would like to find time in between to tackle pet care or any dog walking. I am very patient and understanding with all dogs and their behavior. I watch over them with a vigilant eye and take care of all the necessary responsibilities

About: I am a former veterinary technician now turned dog walker and petsitter. I started off working with animals helping the ranch hands at Pierce College. I assisted with 3 kidding seasons and educating the new students on the goat unit. Towards the end this time, I simultaneously started working at my first veterinary practice. I was there for a long time where I learned all the key basic teachings of veterinary medicine. I worked with dogs, cats, rats, birds, and rabbits at this practice. (Fun fact: I become pretty good at reading x-rays which I was very proud about.) I learned how to restrain properly (for all animals), draw blood, collect lab samples, express anal glands, nail trims, surgery monitoring, and lots of client care service. From there I moved to Seattle to work at a new veterinary practice. (If you are able to, please visit Seattle in the summer!) I missed home so I moved back after a while and started working at a veterinary hospital in Santa Monica. It was there were I learned the most because it was not only appointment based, but also a walk in/emergency clinic. Things got very chaotic and through this chaos it was my best work. I was the calm in the storm. I gave every single pet the exact same care no matter how neglected (we worked with the animal shelter and rescues) or how loved they were because they all deserve to feel cared for. I made sure that you pet parents deserved to feel safe trusting me with your pet's care. I have been with people on their best days with their new puppies and kittens and on their worst days saying goodbye to their family member. I understand how important your pet(s) are to you. I understand that it's not easy to trust a stranger with your pet(s). I understood that every time I met a new client, asking questions about your pet(s) history, taking their vitals, and hoping in that short time frame I earned enough trust from you to take your pet to the back while we performed services and safely return them back to you. If your pet(s) have any medications to give, you are in luck, I have a lot of experience in doing so. I helped pet parents at the clinic and in their own homes when they couldn't make it to the clinic any longer. I currently have a senior dog (she's 16), so I know that our senior baby's need extra care. I know they start having accidents inside the house again and have strict medications so rest assured, I would take care of your senior pups like I would take care of mine. They deserve it and you deserve a peace of mind about that. I will be working here on Rover in concurrent with my other job. I work from home so I am able to proficiently create a schedule that will make sure your pet(s) get the proper care they need. Our Meet & Greet will be mandatory as I want to know all the details of your pet's care and make sure that your pet(s) and my safety are aligned. Based off my veterinary experience, I can read a dog pretty well if they will be aggressive or timid or scared with a stranger's presence. I also want to know about your pet's quirks as I know almost everyone's pets have some because pets are funny that way. And I want to meet you to make sure we are a good fit for one another and that you feel safe trusting your pet's care with me. This relationship will be a two way street especially if it grows to be something more than once. As far as trusting me with your home, know that I have been helping my mom clean houses for over half my life (15+ years). She has her own business and has asked me to help out a lot throughout the years. I have been in people's homes in Pasadena, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Lake Sherwood, Westlake Village, Santa Monica, Brentwood and more. Many family's have trusted me with taking care of their homes and leaving them more beautiful than I found them. I created great relationships with people's pets as well aka they knew when I arrived they would be getting lots of love and their welcome treat!

About: I’ve lived and grown up with pets, and I’ve taken care of them throughout my life. My friends and family have always come to me to look after their pets, and I’m always happy to do it because I get so much positive energy from them I’m a product designer, and right now I’m living alone while looking for new opportunities in my field. Since I have plenty of free time, I’d love to spend it with these little angels. I’m totally available at the moment Pets are like my children, and I always do my best for them. I used to have a little dog that I loved dearly, and I know how much love, care, and happiness I can share with them.

“Dana is wonderful! She does a great job with our young, energetic dog Marty, who can be difficult to manage on a leash. Marty loves Dana and looks forward to his walks with her! He always comes back happy and tired out!”

“Margarita was amazing!!! We went on vacation for a week and had her walk our dog twice a day. She kept us in the loop and provided us with picture, videos, on each walk which I loved. While we were away, our housesitter had to leave a couple of times, and Margarita was able to work with the information we gave her last minute and returned our dog safely inside the house. I would highly recommend Margarita!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from my own two dogs and cat to my mom’s three dogs, and even my mother-in-law’s pets (two dogs, a cat, a lizard, and a small garden of chickens I help watch every summer!). Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they’re busy or traveling. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I am a second-year teaching student with online classes. I have open availability and can be very flexible to make it work. Pretty much 24/7 😉 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, keep walks safe and on-leash, double-check doors and gates, and give plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I send regular photo updates so you can feel confident they’re happy and cared for. At my home, pets enjoy a large, fully fenced backyard divided into two areas — one for play and potty breaks, and another with a big pool where dogs are welcome to swim if they enjoy the water. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, entertained, and loved whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: I'm a livelong animal lover. I have worked in animal rescue and have always had rescues myself (currently have two dogs). Besides my own pets, i have always helped take care of others pets . Experience administering meds as well. I can be pretty flexible. I work remotely as much as possible to keep my schedule flexible (and so i can spend as much time with my own dogs as possible). I would follow any rules needed to make their pet feel comfortable with and (enjoying when we see each other for walks or sitting). Patient with pets that need a little more time to warm up to people as well. Look forward to meeting your fur babies!

“Keri was wonderful! Prompt and very sweet to both the dog she was caring for as well as the cat that she wasn’t even sitting. Came home to a happy healthy boy and a house just as I left it. Highly recommend!”

“DeShaude is responsible and great with dogs. He interacts well and has complete control walking the dog. He is personable and friendly. My dog loves to see him.”

Tricia S.

“Catherine has walked my dog Maya a couple times now and I am very pleased with her performance. She is prompt in returning my texts and requests for service, and I can rely on her to show up when she says she will be there. Most importantly she is very sweet to my dog, and Maya seems to be happy after her walks with Catherine. I'm glad to have found her on Rover, and I will be using her services in the future.”

“Maggie normally loves to walk but not this time. Very nice Rover walker.”

“Emily was the sweetest to my fur baby. I rescued my dog a month ago and she has had a rough time acclimating to people and other dogs and Emily made such a big effort to make her feel comfortable. She’s such a caring person, fully recommended!”

Valeria S.

“Lily is absolutely wonderful with my 2yr old goldendoodle! My medium sized floof is always so excited to see her and her dog Herbie. She gets the zoomies when she comes to walk her. She is friendly reliable and very communicative. I feel so thankful to have found her. Highly recommend her.”

Kelsey C.

“Liana treats my dog buddy like her own! He loves spending time with her and she goes above and beyond to make sure he has a great time :) highly recommend!”

About: I genuinely love animals and enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes. I have experience providing house sitting, daily care, and dog walking for friends and family. I’m patient, responsible, and always pay close attention to each dog’s routine, safety, and comfort. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their own home environment, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship based on each dog’s needs. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m flexible and able to provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking based on each client’s needs. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they receive consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, and companionship while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect while caring for pets in their own home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I keep the home clean and secure, make sure pets are comfortable and stress-free, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease.

I volunteer weekly at a local animal sanctuary where I care for many different kinds of animals. Having always been a Dog Mom, I have house trained Pekingese, Lab, Rottweiler, English Mastiff, as well as pound puppies so I feel comfortable with all dog breeds and love every minute with them. Day care or overnights available 7 days a week - can pick up /drop off locally for small fee. Same day availability is also an option. I have a large fenced in yard with a pool . Pool is open for dogs to swim. Dogs would sleep indoors at night time.
