“I couldn’t be happier with Sanaz’s service. She was very communicative and left detailed reports with lots of videos and photos of the pups. She was able to help out with a short turnaround, and was proactive to schedule a meet & greet beforehand too. Sanaz was calm and confident working with my reactive pups, and understood how to make them feel more comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were happy and comfy. Thank you, Sanaz!”

About: I genuinely love animals, and that comes through in my work. Going above and beyond what is expected is my normal because in addition to being responsible, I also just love pets and animals and being around them. I have worked at the UC Davis Vet hospital, volunteered at the LA Zoo, and currently foster cats with Front St Animal Shelter. I’m currently a full time student in my last year of my Genetics and Genomics BS. I have always at least worked part time during my entire college career, and I really enjoy getting to work with animals to decompress from school. I am very attentive to directions, and I’m great at communicating with pet parents on their needs. While I don’t board at my own home, I always make sure to treat your home with the respect as I would my own.
“Karen is fantastic! She is reliable, flexible, trustworthy and loved by our fur baby. The way he greets her when she arrives speaks volumes. It’s so nice to know that he is being well cared for when we have to be away for long work days or when we leave town. She communicates frequently and sends us updates and pictures to stay connected. We have hired her several times and will do so again. Highly recommended.”

About: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.
“Lucia was excellent! She was responsive, friendly, and punctual. I hired her to take my 5 month old GSP for a walk with specific needs for timing and location, and she could not have been a better walker to ask. She was easy to communicate with and very prepared. Thank you Lucia!”

“Nicola has been reliable, communicative, kind, and flexible. He is so patient with our pup and she very much looks forward to each and every walk. I truly couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

About: I have years of pet-sitting experience, along with being a longtime pet owner myself. I’m experienced in caring for senior dogs who need extra assistance, as well as raising and caring for puppies. I’m dependable, punctual, attentive, and a great communicator. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and most days of the week, making it easy for me to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I’m also available for overnight stays when needed. I always make the safety and comfort of each pet my priority. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and maintain the pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m attentive, respectful of my client’s home, and make sure pets receive plenty of care, companionship, and attention while their owners are away.
About: As a certified professional dog trainer, I bring more than pet care to every visit—I bring behavior expertise. Since 2015, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sensitive rescue dogs. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, help building good manners, or simply compassionate care, I focus on creating positive experiences that build trust, confidence, and lasting skills. Dogs are at the center of my daily life. My schedule is built around training sessions, walks, enrichment activities, and pet care visits. Because working with dogs is my profession, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and make each pet’s physical and emotional well-being a priority. In clients’ homes, I maintain respect as a center point of my services. Whether we’re doing a walk, training session or drop-in, my goal is to respect your space and help your pup(s) feel comfortable and secure. Walks, play, enrichment, training reinforcement, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and positive reinforcement are all part of my approach.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life, whether it was taking care of my own dog, or a neighbors. I have a furry friend of my own a gsp/poodle mix puppy. I have experience with small, medium and even large dogs. I can’t wait to meet your doggy and give it lots of loving. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I will provide lots of updates and pictures while caring for your dog to assure that he/she is in good hands. I'm currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I can be available to care for your pet during the week and or weekends. I am able to play with the dog in your home, feed/walk and assure the dog has fresh clean water available. Even if the dog just needs to watched, I am able to do so
About: I worked at a Daycare/Grooming facility for 2 year, have been grooming dogs for 2 years after that and I've taken classes for Pet CPR and first aid. Am currently in school for Canine Specialty and currently work at a board and train facility in Tarzana. I currently work a full time job however my employer allows me to have a more flexible schedule if needed, typically I am at work for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I like to know the preferences of pet parents so that I don't accidentally break any boundaries or habits the parent is trying to create with their pets. I like maintaining a schedule since most dogs already have some kind of routine at home so if feeding times and potty breaks are around a specific hour I like to run my day according to the pet's schedule
“In the past three weeks or so, Mry has been walking my dog every morning. Since my chocolate lab cannot write the review ( she can do most everything else..) let me just describe my dog’s reaction to Mry: excited anticipation prior to her arrival and a happy “smile” on her face upon returning from her walk! As for me, I cannot say enough about Mry’s Professional and pleasant attitude. She is punctual, tailors the walks to my dog’s ability and daily wants. The daily reports I get from Mry are not the mundane ones but a true and detailed description of my dog’s activities (sniffing, slow or energetic, tired etc.). In short, I recommend Mry in the highest possible terms!”

“Absolutely amazing! Darby is so nice and pleasant to talk to. And she treats my two doggos even better than I imagined. I love the amount of communication about how the walks went and how the dogs are behaving while I'm out and about. My two rascals absolutely love her. As a first time user of the app I was concerned about trying this out but I have no regrets and I recommend it to others now. I can relax knowing that Darby is taking care of the kiddos.”

About: I have a passion for caring for all kinds of pets and have always had both a cat and a dog (and often more) in my life growing up. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes. Your pet's needs and preferences will always be my top priority, and I will take any special requests or concerns seriously. For me, this isn’t just a job; it’s like a playdate with your pets! I’m a laid-back person with good intentions, so please feel free to reach out. Thank you, and I hope I can assist you. I currently work hybrid 2-3 days a week Thursday to Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM, but I'm available most days of the week to care for your wonderful pets. I can take care of them in my home, yours, or simply take them out for walks. I will do my best to accommodate your needs, and I promise to keep your pets safe and protected at all times. Your pet's needs and preferences will always be my top priority, and I will take any special requests or concerns seriously. For me, this isn’t just a job; it’s like a playdate with your pets! I’m a laid-back person with good intentions, so please feel free to reach out. Thank you, and I hope I can assist you.
About: I started dog sitting as early as 15 years old with my mom’s clients. As she was a house keeper and I would dog sit/walk/play with the dogs and it became my summer job to get money and experience for myself. I love all dogs and animals but I am a true dog lover! I have my own two dogs. My first ever dog I rescued at 4 years old and he lived up to 20 years old! I now have two dogs one is a recent rescue chicharito who is a chihuahua mix and I 1 1/2 years old and my terrier mix who is 9 years old and they are both thriving! I take care of dogs and animals as if they are my own. I always take the holistic approach with animals and meet them half way as I know each of our loving furry members have their own personalities 😊. I would love to play, love, and care for your furry friends and make sure they get the activities they need and exercise while parents are out running errands, working or just enjoying life! Looking forward to caring for your loved ones! If there are any details I would need to know about your furry friend let me know so I can best support you! I am currently working a part time job that is pretty flexible! I can come by and take care of your loving friend- go on walks, play, exercise, prepare enrichment activities you have at home if any, feed your loving friend and water! Most importantly making sure your loving friend feeds safe and cozy! I currently am not offering pet care in my own home. I can offer pet sitting at your own home if that is more convenient. (:
“Taylor is amazing. She has helped me out multiple times with my high energy pitbull. She’s done house sitting for a week and helps do weekly walks with my dog. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in safe hands and is getting love from Taylor at the same time.”

About: I have had 3 dogs my whole life. Although, I currently done have any; my love for them is still within. Im here to get my itch of pup cured. I love going on walks, so would love to bring your pup along. Can't wait to meet you! I currently work a full time job with two days off. I am very flexible to yours or your pets needs when it comes to before or after my shift. I'm open my days off. I'm looking to come to the pets home since that is their safe place. I do own cats and don't want any foul play when its comes to crossing boundaries.

About: Hi! I’m Linda, a dependable and caring dog walker who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have over 12 years of experience as a caregiver, where patience, responsibility, safety, and following routines have always been important. I’m also CPR certified and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s individual needs. I love being outdoors and would enjoy giving your dog a safe and enjoyable walk where they can get some exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m currently focusing on dog walking and starting with small and medium-sized dogs as I continue to build experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, as I personally have a senior Chihuahua who I’ve had since 2011. Having cared for my own senior dog over the years, I understand that older pets may need a slower pace, extra patience, and a little more attention to their comfort and needs. You can expect good communication, punctuality, and updates after your dogs walk. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for with kindness and attention while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my children are currently in school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day. Dog walking is a great way for me to stay active, busy, and spend time with dogs, which I really enjoy. I currently offer dog walking only. During each walk, I’ll make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me.
About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
About: I have always owned dogs and cats since I can remember! Honestly, I prefer pet company than human. Lol. I have pets at home, and I miss them dearly, so this is the next best thing I can devote myself to while we are apart. I have always trained my pets by myself and know how to read their body language. I took care of puppies too, by helping nurse and clean them and the mama dog! I have no pets or kids at home, I also only babysit one pet at a time, so rest assured my full attention is on your baby. We’ll have so much fun together! I currently work full time! But I have plenty of time in the weekends to drop by and play with your pets! Im available to cat or dog sit in the weekend. Expect two long walks around the neighborhood, feeding schedule according to their needs, nap time and lots of pets! Caring for a pet is like taking care of a baby. You have to make sure they are happy by making sure they are well fed, hydrated and comfortable! Expect to receive photo updates and videos throughout the day.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Tarzana is $25

Francisco was great! He is reliable and he is great with dogs! He communicates well and sends pictures of our dogs who always look happy and exercised from their walks. We would definitely reach out to him again! I highly recommend Francisco for your pet caring and dog walking needs.

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 Tarzana. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
