About: Me & my buddy #SambaTheBorderCollie, take our job of watching over your fur baby with the upmost care and attention. Samba is my Rover partner and incredibly well-trained therapy dog who helps promote good behaviors from all of our guests. As for myself, I'm a trainer, animal advocate, and dog owner who's here to provide a structured, loving environment that I'd demand for my doggo. There's lots of choices of sitters on Rover, however, I stand out by providing a unique high-activity experience that has become a rewarding full-time job. Expect lots of photos & updates throughout the day – and a happy, worn out pup when you pick him/her up from their stay. I love my job, my clients, and overdelivering on the promise of giving every ounce of my energy to the happiness, wellness and safety of your best friend. Extremely comfortable working with high-needs working dogs, independent terriers, seniors, puppies and everything in between. Currently working from home, fully dedicated to making sure your doggo has the best experience, and you can travel stress free knowing your baby is well taken care of. I have a large fenced gated front and back yard that’s the perfect playground for your doggos to run, sun, and have fun safely with constant supervision. I also have a Ring camera that I can provide access to to watch your buddy.

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!

I just moved to LA this past month. I am beyond happy I met Zoey! She has been a total hero to me during this stressful time. A weight has been lifted knowing that my two pups are in such trustful hands! My dogs are VERY high energy and Zoey knows how to handle them. She really goes the extra mile (pun intended). Forever grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough :)

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: 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.

About: Hello! I’m Anca, lover of all beings. While I am new to Rover, I am no stranger to pet sitting and care taking. Let’s meet! I have been fortunate to be surrounded by animals most of my life, and have an affinity for caretaking. I will attune to your loved companions’ needs with ease. I have experience with administering medications, including IVs, and preparing special diets. I am mindful of their movement, play and rest needs. While in my care, your pets will be doted on. I work remotely and have considerable flexibility in my schedule. I will strive to prioritize your scheduling needs, and I ask that we discuss this in advance. During house sitting I aim to spend most of my time within your home, and will communicate in advance my needs to steps away. I can often take your pets with me, if that’s suitable for you. I usually do not step away for longer than 5 hours during overnight stays. I’d be happy to discuss your exact scheduling needs in more detail when we meet. I would love to meet you and your beloved companions, and see if we are a good fit. If all systems are go, I’d like to collaborate with you to delineate a detailed and clear plan to meet your discussed expectations. I bring a calming presence to most animals, wild and domesticated. We will ensure that your pets get their daily needed activity, play, nurturance and rest. I’m keenly aware of my surroundings at all times, to ensure your companions’ safety. While in your home, I will respect your space as I do my own, and will aim to leave it better than I found it. I do ask that the space I am going to inhabit for the length of the stay, has clean linens, high speed internet and the home is well-maintained. I can be available as a person of contact for other maintenance services, for the duration of the stay, with advance notice and mutual agreement. I benefit greatly from concise notes on your pets’ needs and home expectations during overnight stays, for drop in visits or walks.

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’ve had my own dog for the last 5 years, took care of my childhood dog before that, and have cared for other people’s pets throughout that time! I love spending time playing with pups outside, it’s a big part of my day anyway! I set aside 3-4 hours a day to take my dog on a walk, we frequent the meadows in golden gate park, fort funston, and some trails in the presidio. I keep my home tidy so dogs don’t have access to things they’re not supposed to eat. I make sure everyone is comfortable and have their needs taken care of (food, potty breaks, entertainment, snacks, cuddles/personal space, etc.) My dog isn’t territorial at all and quite likes having friends over, but ofc they should meet first!

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.

I am working part time but for the most part I am available most days and weekends. I can work any time. I prefer to take care of your animals in your home. It just depends of the animal/animals. I have an elderly dog and she prefers calm dogs, or cats only. So it just depends.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Tarzana

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Tarzana on Rover is $25.53 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 17,167 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Tarzana. 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 Tarzana. 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 Tarzana.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 Tarzana. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
