Dog Walking In Valley Village

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.

“I can't overstate how lucky we were to find Erick among hundreds of providers on Rover. We needed our two larger-sized pups to be walked twice a day for a week. Our pups took to him immediately and it was smooth sailing from there. Erick is incredibly pleasant, easy to work with, reliable, and punctual. He never shorted our pups on time and treated them like they were his. Erick is a consummate professional, and deserves 6 stars out of 5. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“This review is LONG overdue! Elizabeth has been providing weekly walks for my Frenchie for over a year (maybe longer) and she is amazing! Elizabeth is so caring, she takes great care of my pup and she is comfortable giving him medications when needed. My dog has a spine issue (IVDD) and Elizabeth has been so helpful in carefully caring for him during a flare. She’s flexible and understanding when/if my schedule changes and my dog adores her. My neighbors have even commented on how great Elizabeth is with my dog and how she takes her time walking with him, playing and giving him love. I’m so grateful to have found Elizabeth on Rover!”

“Catherine is always so flexible! She takes lots of videos and pictures of my dog, so I know he's in excellent care. She's also always on time and Kudo is always so happy to see her! Thank you as always Catherine!”

About: Hey there! My name is Shayla, and I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over a decade, including working closely with celebrity clients and their beloved animals — many of whom required special attention, medical care, patience, and individualized routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone not only with your pets, but with the comfort and safety of your home as well. I provide loving, reliable pet care with a calm and attentive approach, and I’m happy to accommodate unique schedules, routines, medications, and special requests. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking, overnight care, house sitting, and companionship visits. ✨ What sets me apart: I create a safe, low-stress, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like family. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior pets needing gentle patience and support. 🐾 Special experience with: ✔︎ Senior pets & puppies ✔︎ Special-needs and disabled pets ✔︎ Administering medicine ✔︎ Anxiety-prone pets & separation anxiety ✔︎ Maintaining routines for comfort and stability ✔︎ Providing attentive, one-on-one care I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I genuinely love taking the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also really love photography and sending you videos/photos throughout the day! My goal is always to care for your pets as if they were my own — with patience, warmth, responsibility, and plenty of snuggles along the way. I'm very flexible with hours, and I will always be very communicative about my schedule so you are kept informed. I spend every day taking care of animals, and am always flexible with client needs! I've been entrusted with many high-profile clients and am always respectful of others' homes, pets, and belongings. I treat every home and animal as if it were my own, with the utmost care and love! I always keep a tidy home, so have no problem with doing light clean up duties around your home if needed.

“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! 👏”

“Yvonne’s babysit my cat before but asked her to walk my dog a few times while I was at work. She was very communicative and great with my dog”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a house full of them — my mom showed Collies competitively and still rescues to this day. It’s just how I was raised. As an adult I’ve spent the last 10 years fostering — taking in puppies two or three at a time, and occasionally single dogs recovering from injuries or medical conditions requiring recovery care and medication management. That experience taught me how to read dogs, stay calm under pressure, and give every animal exactly what they need — not a one-size-fits-all approach. A stay at my place feels like a home away from home. Your dog will follow me around the house, get plenty of cuddles and indoor playtime, enrichment toys, and two walks a day through our Studio City neighborhood. We have a fenced yard for in-and-out access throughout the day, and for more adventurous pups I’m happy to hit Fryman Canyon or Griffith Park. My own dog is a six year old rescue who’s current on all vaccines. He’s selective with other dogs, which honestly makes me even more thoughtful about introductions — I know how to read body language, introduce dogs properly, and keep them separated when needed. I can also crate or accommodate whatever sleeping arrangement works best for your dog, keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Special experience with: ✔️ Puppies & young dogs ✔️ Anxious or reactive dogs ✔️ Medical needs & medication administration ✔️ Post-injury recovery care What every stay includes: 🐾. Fresh water always available 🐾 Healthy treats 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routine so they have something familiar to count on 🐾 Regular photo and video updates I require a meet & greet before all bookings — in person or via video — to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Your dog deserves that. I work from home and I’m around most of the time, so your dog gets real attention throughout the day — not just a quick check-in between other commitments. I also have two daughters, 17 and 20, who grew up with dogs, helped with our fosters, and are just as enthusiastic about caring for your pup as I am. Pet care is built into our daily routine, not squeezed around it! My Studio City home is calm and quiet with a fenced yard and easy access to outdoor space. Having fostering experience with medical and recovery dogs, I’m comfortable managing special routines, medication schedules, and proper dog introductions — and I’ll keep you informed every step of the way. All dogs must be current on vaccinations.

“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!!!!”

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs my entire childhood. I grew up with a pure breed pitbull and taken care of Labs, German Shepard, and mixed breeds. I also live with two cats. I love animals and they all love me! I usually have time during the days or afternoons and evenings available outside of work to be able to pet sit or take them on walks or potty breaks. You go in a vacation, I got your pet taken cared of. I always make it work and I’ll always be there. I always make sure they are well loved and well feed and taken cared of. I make sure they always have time to use the bathroom. I know pets love quality time so just being with them and making sure they are loved means everything to them. I’m all about pet cuddles.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, which includes caring for horses. My beau calls me the dog whisperer. In addition, the pet care I will provide will be outstanding with lots of playtime, potty breaks, and walks. Dogs gravitate towards me and they will be well kept, fed, and any instructions from the owner will be followed with due diligence. Due to my flexible schedule, I have Monday-Friday availability for boarding (including on the weekends), dropping in, and walking. Thereby, once you book with me your furry friend will be the number one priority. My building is safe and secure, with an elevator and grass area in the back for plenty of potty breaks. Further, the area has plenty of parks, and the neighborhood is pet friendly.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child. My parents always taught me how to treat animals with respect and care. They are member of a family <3 Unfortunately they can not speak which is why it's important to think two steps ahead to make sure they are safe and happy. During weekdays I'm available from mornings till afternoons, and I can come by in the evenings sometimes too! On the weekends I am fully available :) I will follow all your wishes and guidelines in your house. Facetimes, pictures and videos of your fur baby will of course be done too!

“Naomi has been wonderful. We have a husky who is a big dog and loves her walk every single time they go on one. My pup comes back tired and ready for her nap. My second dog Freya is super skeptical of humans and other dogs but Naomi was super easy to introduce and Freya took an immediate liking to her! So glad to have you be able to walk them and they love their adventure each time.”

“Bailey was awesome & helped me last second with walking my two big dogs (each over 60 pounds). She sent pictures, fed them, and am relieved to have someone trustworthy to help care for my pups when I’m out.”

“Natalie is great with my doggy. She is very communicative and my dog instantly liked her.”

“Abolish took great care of my baby.”

“Nera can be pretty shy and slow to warm up, so I really appreciate how patient, gentle, and attentive she’s been with her. She has a very calm and caring presence that immediately made me feel comfortable trusting her with my dog. She’s also incredibly responsive, easy to coordinate with, and reliable even on short notice, which has made everything seamless. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and Nera has responded really well to her because of it. Highly recommend.”

“Dana came to walk and play with our big pup Milo. Milo loved every minute of it, and she gave me great update and photos throughout the visit. Thanks Dana!”

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.
