“Isela was great! She walked our large, willful goldendoodle for 2 weeks and did a wonderful job at keeping her moving. She was professional, on time and friendly, and we would highly recommend her to other dog owners!”
“Elizabeth is beyond excellent. She is a wonderful person, and really loves animals. Our dog can be skittish around new people but he talk to her right away. She’s a gem!”
“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 grew up around animals: cats, a dog, even two gerbils. I also pet-sat for my neighbor while I was in high school. I am lucky now to have a crazy lovebug orange kitty named Mr. Buttons. He sadly has no interest in being around dogs or other cats, so I have to look outside our home to satisfy my love for them. I am as trustworthy as they come, and I believe pet care should come above all else. I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and I'm amenable to any kind of arrangement for caring for your pets. I'm typically free on weekdays, but as I said, my schedule changes and there are always exceptions. My priority is to build trust both with the pet and owner. I follow all instructions laid out to the T and ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe in my presence. I also respect the pet owner's home by leaving it exactly as I found it. It's vitally important to me that your pet feels loved even when you are away, so I never skimp out on pets or cuddles when they are desired.
About: I have walked many dogs during my high school years and beyond. Back then you just had to go up to people and ask if they required your services. Times have changed and we have apps now! I currently have two kitties at home, I also get to enjoy the company of dogs when I’m over at friends places. Sometimes I feel like pets are so precious that we do not deserve them as humans. They are sweet little beings that accompany us throughout our lives, they deserve love and kindness. I completely understand how your pet is like family. I would like you to show you they are happy and safe during the visits and walks or sittings. And show the pets as much love as you do while you’re away. First visit I ask what special needs your dog or cat may have and if there is a special routine they have or what route they like to take (dogs). Then we set a schedule that works best for you and I. Lastly we start with a few walks or sits to see if the pet is comfortable with me. Always uphold pet cleanliness. I care about their safety and things they might contract while outside so I will always ask if you approve a dog park or not or if the pet is allowed outside. I keep them away from hazards they might encounter.
About: Hello! My name is Autumn (: I’ve grown up with all different types of animals my whole life, I currently have 2 fur babies myself! I have a Border Collie Mix (Laszlo) and a big Golden Doodle (Cooper)! I’ve been pet and house sitting animals outside of my own since I was 12 years and old, and as a side hustle all throughout high school/college. I love animals will ALL my heart and would love to help care for others pets of any age or breed ☺️ I’m currently working mornings at my job so I have lots of free time in the afternoon/nights and weekends which I know a lot of people who either have to work late or night shift may need some help with! My partner works from home so he’s always with our fur babies which gives me time to help out others! I am more than happy to do whatever’s on your checklist to care for your fur baby, sending a picture of them to ease any of your worries, crating when leaving, leaving them in a designated area of the home, and I have experience with giving medication if needed also! I know the worries that can come with leaving your fur babies with someone else and I would guarantee treating them with the same love and care that I give my own pets!
“Seanna is amazing. She takes such good care of my little guy, even when he’s being a troublemaker. She is so professional, flexible and gives the BEST updates. I look forward to reading them every time and I always know he is safe and loved when she is caring for him. thank you so very much for all you do.”
“Emily was delightful. I will be booking her again! I scheduled her to walk my 5-year-old Aussie for 10 days after I had surgery, and I couldn't walk him myself. He can be a handful, especially if another dog barks at him, and he had never been walked by a "stranger". She handled him very well and he returned home happy and tired. Emily was never late, texted me a few minutes before arriving, and sent photos of them along the walk. She is great and I can highly recommend her. Thank you Emily!!”
“Joselyn really stepped up in a pinch. She was professional and so great with my puppy. When she discovered my puppy had found the bathroom TP and used it as a chew toy she took her time to clean it up! Completely unnecessary but much appreciated. Top notch! I’ve used her multiple times and always impressed! 👏”
“Catherine was very prompt in her service and was on time for the services I requested. She provided many photos to help me feel at ease that my dog was being well taken care of! She was consistently professional and kind. My dog instantly took to her and could tell she was a safe person to be around. I plan to book Catherine again in the near future and would trust her with my dog!”
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.
“Erick has been great with Lilith! Last week was our first week with Erick as our new walker and he’s done great getting Lilith comfortable with him. He is great at communicating with me and even is thinking in advance as the temps rise to make sure we have a plan for midday walks this summer! I deeply appreciate him thinking about my dogs health and wellbeing like that!”
“Adam is AMAZING! our dogs love him and we are so appreciative of how great he cares for them. He has great patience, communicates and goes above and beyond every single time. Hands down the best walker the boys have ever had. Thanks Adam!!!!”
“Dana is amazing with our two dogs Marty and Wally! She has done regular dog walking and an extended pet sitting job for them this year. I feel great knowing how much she loves them and looks after them like her own! And they are always so happy after her visits! I highly recommend Dana!”
“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.”
About: Hi, my name is Kate Gray, and I’m a 30- something year old LA native, with more than 10 year experience taking care of dogs. I have fostered dogs ever since I graduated college (go Bruins!), having fostered over 10 dogs with orgs like Wags & Walks, MaeDay Rescue, Pup Culture Rescue, and more. I have also been graced by the heavens with my own dog/child, Remi. She is my best friend, and I rescued her in 2020. Ever since, my life revolves around her, and frankly all dogs, not even just my own! I am consistently the go-to person for my friends, family, and neighbors to watch their dogs, or walk whenever they need, because of my love for dogs, and undeniable dedication to making sure their pup has the best time adventuring! I truly feel it’s always an incredible honor to get to know every dog, and would love to provide my services to you when needed! I'm very open to meeting beforehand to ensure you can trust me with your child, I absolutely understand <3 My dog is my life, so pet care is simultaneous with self care - constant! I take my dog out for daily hikes around Elysian Park, a daily walk, and sometimes fetch in an open field if she's lucky! Having recently been laid off by my full time at Warner Music, I have been applying my love for dogs and care-taking qualities to watching dogs and open schedule, and would love to extend that to you, my hopeful future client! I watch the dog the entire time, ensuring they do not eat anything they're not supposed to, have any accidents, and even get in to a lil mayhem. I make sure to keep all needed doors and gates closed, while also being mindful of their need for exercise with plenty of indoor/outdoor playing, light command training for brain stimuli, and a bunch of pets! I make sure to adapt my actions per each pet, all the while ensuring they are safe and cared for.
About: I have worked with pets of all different kinds professionally as a volunteer coordinator for a prominent national rescue and a local public shelter. Also I was a vet assistant and a zoo keeper. I am a great communicator and have worked with dogs and cats with difficult behavior and medical issues. Currently, I am pursuing my Masters degree and licence to be a therapist. My schedule is currently open and I would like to make this my full time job so I can go back to school with a remote program. I can provide additional backround information if needed- was a government employee for 5 years and now work for a well known national animal welfare organization.
“Dea is extremely attentive to my fur baby. Shes even been helping her with loose leash walking! She sends videos and photos while I’m at work and it always brings a smile to my face :) I recommend Dea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog walker!”
About: From my sister's dog that I practically trained as a kid (thanks to dog training TV shows and videos), to my roommate's sweet kitten, and my own childhood dog, so much of my life has been shaped and defined by the animals I surround myself with. I became a go-to sitter and walker for neighbors and friends. I work part-time, so I'd love to fill the other time with some amazing pets! I have a few weekdays free as well as weekends! I love giving animals the attention and love they deserve! I'll play with them and give them quality time that they want and need! Tell me their favorite things and I'll accommodate!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Valley Village is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valley Village
Just wow, if don’t read any further just know Yvonne is awesome and you should hire her! I hired her on a temporary basis to walk my Tuco daily for about 6 weeks because I was commuting too far for a work assignment to come home at lunch to walk him myself. Never before having anyone else walk him, I was worried about finding someone whom I could trust to show up reliably and give Tuco the much needed break in his day. Not only did Yvonne prove herself reliable and responsible, she took such kind and loving care of Tuco, he fell in love with her (and her with him)! Each walk she would send me notes and adorable photos of their activities. I especially appreciated that she would stop and take time to play fetch with him and snuggle him at our apartment’s pet park, thankfully giving him the physical and mental stimulation she understood he needed. One week, Tuco had a little tummy virus and was not his usual energetic self, so Yvonne patiently sat with him outside and let him take it easy. Now that I am moving closer to my job, unfortunately I will be too far to keep Yvonne. Tuco will miss her and I am sure if he could talk, he would highly recommend her as do I. If you are looking for a caring, attentive and reliable dog walker, I have every confidence you will be very satisfied with Yvonne.
Luna LOVED DeShaude. Though I was not surprised -he has such a way with animals… they know he is safe and loves them 💙 we hadn’t seen him in a while and our older pup just passed so it was a bit hard to leave her but DeShaude made it so much easier. We got pics of walks and a report every time he took her out. Highly recommend!
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.

Natalie was great! My dog was kinda picky with his walkers but he instantly loved Natalie. Natalie walked my dog weekly and was very communicative and responsive to arranging walks. She also gave a detailed report of his walks and sent the best pictures! Thank you Natalie for your time :)
I needed a walker for two straight weeks and Vanesa did a wonderful job of ensuring my girl had a great time. She even ran with my energetic girl, which she LOVED! Updates were regular, I would definitely recommend Vanesa to my friends and family!! Thank you, Vanesa! 🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Valley Village on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 18,458 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Valley Village. 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 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 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 Valley Village.

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 Valley Village. 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.
