About: I have had cats and dogs and mice and fish my whole life, and have been many people's go-to consultant for care and advice, and for taking care of their pets when they're out of town. I am one of those people that folks say have "a way with animals". Always have, even when I was a toddler. I can administer medications and injections, help with puppy training, and bring your shy pet out of his or her shell. I rescued my own kitties when they were only a week old and syringe and bottle-fed them and reared them up to be sturdy upright feline citizens of the world. I'm good with the "difficult" cases, and a gentle loving companion to the seniors. I do this because I adore and feel a bond with all animals and creatures of all kinds. :) I am available for morning and mid-day walks and drop-ins, and some evening walks depending on the day, and evening drop-ins most days of the week. I'll dote on your pets as if they are my own, and am happy to follow their routines and rituals and also bring a little novelty and fun to their day.
About: I grew up with 2 dogs, Gidget and Cindy. I have adopted, rescued and trained three dogs, Jasper, Isabelle and Covi. I was involved with Canine Companions to raise money for people with disabilities and I combined my art skills to paint dogs for display on Michigan Ave in Chicago to raise money for the canine unit at the Chicago Police Department. I also donate my time to organizations such as Animal Cruelty and PAWS. I LOVE all animals and dogs give me so much happiness. I am very active and like walking and exercise. I am available Monday through Saturday for morning and afternoon schedules. Walking dogs helps keep me healthy physically and mentally. I feed and water mine twice a day in one specific area. I play with their toys or balls for extra exercise and care. I make time to work on training words for commands to teach them also.
“Jamie did a wonderful job taking our dogs out for their daily 1-hour walks! She offered to meet the boys for a meet and greet and they immediately warmed up to her friendly and sweet personality. Jamie was great with communication and always reached out if she needed to update us or had a question. We're so happy with her services and will be asking her to take care of our little one next week for a few days. Don't hesitate to reach out to Jamie for your pet care needs!”
“Found David last minute! He is flexible, dependable, and can follow instruction’s. He treats my dog like his own and trust him with his knowledge and care for pets!”
About: I had a handsome cattle dog for six years (Pancho!), so I know high-energy, highly attentive pups, and I’m used to reactive dogs, dogs who need solo walks, and dogs who think poop is a snack. I know how to steer clear of triggers so walks stay calm and safe. As someone that used to own a “high maintenance” dog, I know the stress of asking someone else to care for them, don’t worry, I got you! No judgement! I'm also a regular cat sitter for my sister's three kitties, each on their own special diet and personality (they love each other, but must eat in separate rooms). I work from home, and would love to have your pet as my co-worker. I’m happy to keep routines and send plenty of photos :) Dogs, cats, and overnights welcome. I currently don’t have any pets since we recently said goodbye to our dear Pancho dog, and would LOVE to have some furry faces back in my life! I work from home, so your pet is never alone. Potty breaks can happen as often as needed. During the workday, they're welcome to nap in my office with me (was my cattle dog's favorite spot), or stretch out on the couch in the living room, or hang in the fenced yard, which I can see through the big sliding glass doors by my desk. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm happy to plan walks around your pet's routine. Otherwise, we do a long lunch walk and another around 3pm. I usually wrap up work by 3pm, which leaves plenty of time for afternoon play and hangouts. I have no other pets right now, so they get my full attention, and they're welcome on the furniture in my home. I have two fenced areas: a front driveway that's mostly concrete, and a backyard with grass and trees. My dog preferred the driveway, where he loved sunbathing on the warm concrete :) For care at your home, I'm happy to crate your dog if that's part of their routine. Cat owners, I'll clean litter boxes during drop-ins, or set one up here for overnight stays.
“Super grateful for Yvonne. She’s super responsive and is really flexible to whatever special requests have popped up on different walks for my pup, Kai. Very appreciative”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve cared for pets both professionally and independently, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve worked with both dogs and cats through a professional pet-sitting company, as well as caring for friends’ and family members’ pets. I’m very communicative, responsive, and adaptable. I want pet parents to feel heard and comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m happy to follow specific routines and instructions, keep up with walks and playtime, and send regular updates and photos. I’m also very tech-savvy and quick to respond, which makes communication easy. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time at an art museum with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are my most open days, and I’m also available on weekends when needed, preferably before 2 PM. I’m especially interested in dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and cat visits. I’m also able to offer boarding, but I’m currently limited to one night. Weekdays generally work best for me, and while some notice is always helpful, I can sometimes be flexible with same-day requests when my schedule allows. I’m happy to work around my existing work schedule and communicate clearly ahead of time so we can find what works best for you and your pet. I currently have two cats of my own, one senior and one who is two years old. They’re both friendly but a little shy and tend to keep to themselves, so I’m used to giving pets their space and letting them warm up at their own pace. I live in a two-level apartment with some room to give a visiting pet their own comfortable space. For boarding, I’d preferably care for cats, but I may also be able to accommodate a small dog depending on their personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to discuss the details beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I also live with my mom, who has been an animal lover her whole life, so your pet would be welcomed into a caring and pet-friendly home. For visits and walks in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who had a number of dogs and horses throughout my childhood. More recently, I have hands-on experience as a dog foster (I adopted one of them too), and volunteer dog walker with a local rescue. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for dogs & cats with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I truly enjoy building bonds with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when I am with them. I am currently consulting from home and have the flexibility in my schedule to take your pupper for a walk, or check in on your cat to make sure they are doing well. I’m a responsible, detail-oriented dog mom who prioritizes consistency, safety, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.
“Adam is the dog whisperer of dog whisperers. Our pitbull Camilla is normally hesitant to walk with a new person and will not venture far away from home the first time, but she was immediately smitten with Adam and they walked together for the entire hour! We have used so many dog walkers. This is the first and only time Camilla felt this comfortable with someone. We’re so happy we found someone our dog is excited to walk with. He didn’t even need to use treats to coax her. Adam is a needle in a haystack type of dog walker for the type of dog we have.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats at home since I was born. All of my pets right now, a dog named Apollo and two cats named Raven and Karma are rescue animals that my family has saved. Since moving away from home for college, I have missed my pets and want to take care of any animals I can! 🤎 I am a dancer living in LA, and having recently graduated college, I am searching for new ways to fill my schedule! I have a very flexible routine right now with lots of availability every day and on weekends! 🤎 I have a car that I can take your pets to the park or beach in, or I can take them outside or around the neighborhood if preferred! I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that I would be happy to bring them to with a park right down the street. 🏡
“I reached out around 8:30 at night looking for a last minute walk, and he responded right away and was able to come that same evening. He showed up on time, was really friendly, and did a great job with my anxious dog. I was a little worried since my dog has been having a hard time lately, but he was so patient with him. When they got back, my dog seemed so much happier and more relaxed. I really appreciated how responsive and reliable he was, and I would definitely book with him again.”
“Megan is truly wonderful! She's prompt and shows such compassion toward my dogs. While I’ve been recovering from an injury, she’s gone above and beyond to accommodate me—far exceeding expectations.”
“Grace has walked my dog continuously for about a year while I've attended grad school and worked full time. She has been wonderful and a major contributor to me making it to graduation with no pet-care related stresses while I attended class. Completely trust worthy and she treats Cocoa so well. She is thoughtful (brings UPS packages in) and has common sense (takes special precautions during high summer heat days). I am lucky to have found Grace on Rover to help me!”
About: Thanks for taking time to consider me. I have spent the past 30 years providing a home for cats and dogs. Each are special and have their own needs. I feel a pet should remain in their own home environment whenever possible. For that reason, I now travel to your home and provide company and care for your pet. I am available to travel to most areas of Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley and Orange County for weekends or longer stays.. Most of my time would be spent keeping company with your pets, be that quiet hours indoors or walks in a park. I am there for them. My goal is to keep your pets on the routine which they are accustomed to. My goal is to keep them safe while you are away. . My routine revolves around your pet’s needs. Every pet is different and they have schedules they are accustomed to. I follow the instructions of the pet owner. I do out calls only. I follow the instructions of the pet owner. Every pet is different and they have schedules they are accustomed to.
“Shakira is great with Cooper. She’s easy to communicate with and has an amazing attitude. She sends photos and updates throughout her visit or walk. I Absolutely recommend her to anyone in need.”
About: Hi There! My name is Raven and I can't wait to hug and kiss your pup right on the snoot! Here is a little info about me: My professional back ground is in Forensic Medicine and I've worked in government for the past 12 years. I recently decided to start working on my PhD and take time away from work. After the recent passing of my sweet Golden Girl, Kelly (retriever, 12) I'm focusing more on things that fulfill me (like hugging dogs and my education). I have had dogs all my life and my house has always been a revolving door for fosters, pet sitting for friends and neighbors, lost dogs etc.. I have experience with everything from geriatric dogs, special needs, post-surgical, administering IV fluids, medications, and I even know doggy CPR! I have two dogs right now; Bagels and 10 year old Corgi and Freya a 7-ish year old husky/lab mix. Both are very calm and sweet and love meeting new friends. I have a pretty decently sized yard that the dogs have full access too (including the house), if you'd like to leave your fur baby with me. I can also do drop-ins for walks, pats, playing and feeding. I would love to hear about you and your dog and possibly schedule a meet and greet before we schedule drop-ins or home stays. I can also do drop-off and/or pick-ups if you're in the neighborhood for a small additional fee. I offer discounts for Golden Retriever's and extended stays. Feel free to ask me about it! I'm currently working from home. Any days that I need to be on campus I will mark as unavailable on the calendar so you can rest assured I will always be around to tend to your pup! I have a large/medium fully fenced backyard and a separate fully fenced side yard that offers a bit more shade. Your dog will have full access to the house that is always air conditioned and never goes above 73 degrees. There are water bowels in the yard as well as a filtered dog fountain inside the house. My home is a ground floor duplex. Completely separate from the neighbors. There are two steps to the front door and two steps to the backyard. If your dog has any special needs please let me know. I can accommodate almost anything including ramps for older pups.
About: Hi all!! I am 27 years old- I just quit my teaching job that I have been in since graduating college and moved to California. I have not found a job yet as I am not looking to go back into teaching and could really use some extra work at the moment while finding something more long term! I have a 1 year old cat and a 6 year old bunny who I love to death 💜 I would love to come watch/walk/spend time with/love your lil fur babies when you aren’t able to. Mine mean the absolute world to me & I will treat yours like one of my own! I have a great deal of experience with cat sitting, dog sitting, rabbit sitting, and small animal sitting! I have a cat and rabbit myself, and my mom has five guinea pigs that I care for when she needs help. I understand that rabbits and small animals have unique needs that not all sitters understand, and I am more than happy to say that I do understand the struggle of finding a trustworthy sitter for your babies. I am here to be your trustworthy sitter for your sweet fur babies! I have extreme flexibility with my current job as I am working from my computer!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valley Village
Ally was wonderful with Sasha, finding someone who’s comfortable and confident handling a dog his size is really important to me. Ally was friendly and easy to communicate with, and I really appreciated her taking the time to get acquainted with Sasha. It was a great first experience, and I’m looking forward to having her walk him again.
We've hired Vanesa to walk our 2 girls, and she's also done a couple of drop-in visits. Vanesa is wonderful to work with and has become our go-to person when we need some help with the girls. We have a 120 lb Saint Bernard and a border collie mix and she's great with both. She's very responsive and gives regular updates. She follows directions when doing the drop-ins, even when we unexpectedly have to change things up last minute. She's very flexible and understanding, just a joy to work with! The dogs love her and they're looking forward to their next walk with her!
Emily relieved my stress when I was at work by coming to my home and taking my puppy Zorro for his bathroom break. She always updated me as to her schedule, was on time, courteous, always kept in real-time communication, even cleaned his paws and gave him a treat I left for him before she left. Will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you Emily!
Jaislyn is very friendly, responsible, and easy to talk to and she clearly loves dogs. Our pittie was obsessed with her from the second she met her, and we could tell from the photos how happy and loved our dog was while we were gone. She left our place very neat, communicated issues that popped up at our place while we were away, and handled things for us without complaint. We would absolutely hire her again!
It’s hard for me to trust most people with my dog and he doesn’t take to everyone but Kate made the experience much less nerve wracking. She was very communicative and sent photos soon after the walk, which helped with my nerves. Kate was attentive to all of my very specific instructions and I highly recommend booking them especially if you have an overly anxious dog.
Adam is the dog whisperer of dog whisperers. Our pitbull Camilla is normally hesitant to walk with a new person and will not venture far away from home the first time, but she was immediately smitten with Adam and they walked together for the entire hour! We have used so many dog walkers. This is the first and only time Camilla felt this comfortable with someone. We’re so happy we found someone our dog is excited to walk with. He didn’t even need to use treats to coax her. Adam is a needle in a haystack type of dog walker for the type of dog we have.
My pups immediately warmed to Emily and seemed to really enjoy their walks with her. Emily was attentive and easy to communicate with, handled the little extras easily (wiping paws, varying their walks, etc) and always brought my packages in (which I never asked her to do but greatly appreciated). I feel at ease knowing she’s got their backs. I will be booking her again imminently.

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 Valley Village. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
