About: I have a very active, independent, high-prey-drive Ibizan Hound, and raising her has given me a lot of hands-on experience with dog behavior, training challenges, leash safety, and reading body language. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, nutrition, triggers, overstimulation, and how to notice small changes in a dog’s behavior before they become a bigger issue. I’m naturally very observant and attentive during walks. For dog walking, I prefer small to medium-sized dogs that are generally calm on leash and manageable during walks. I’m not the best fit for dogs that pull heavily, are highly reactive, or require significant behavioral management. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and enjoyable walk for your dog. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, and short check-ins based on your pet’s usual routine. I take leash safety and following the owner’s instructions very seriously. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to your pet’s body language, surroundings, doors, gates, and potential triggers. I’ll follow your feeding and care routine exactly as requested.
“Annalisa is so sweet! She came last minute for a meet and greet with my two Goldens and walked them the very next day for me :) it’s hard to find good dog walkers in LA and I’m so glad I found her!!!”
“Jayne is the best. I needed to get a dog walker after an injury to walk my dog 2x/day for a few months, and could not be more thankful that we found Jayne. She is so kind and communicative and my dog quickly became tuned in to his walk schedule and would get so excited to see her right before she’d arrive. Book Jayne for all of your pup needs! She is definitely our go to from here on out.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, reptiles...and three sisters, so I can deal with anything! LOL. I’m humbled to have been trusted with watching over the houses and beloved pets of many friends, family and coworkers over the last 20 years. Most recently, I was left with a puppy for two weeks that I was able to help potty and crate train while the owners made a cross country trip. I’m happy to walk, bathe, feed, and give unlimited belly rubs to any of your beloved non-human friends, and will be in constant contact to keep you at ease throughout the process. I work part time remotely and part time at a restaurant, which I am gone either morning or night for 7-8 hours. Schedule varies from week to week. I’m not currently offering in home pet services as I do not currently have the capabilities to do that but that will hopefully change in the near future.
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy spending time with them, whether we’re going for walks, playing, or relaxing at home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work online from home, so I’m home most of the day. This allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine, with time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I can follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. I keep the environment clean and safe and respect each pet’s personality and routine. I also send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Alina, and I truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home where every dog receives individual attention and care. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I carefully follow your instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping dogs active and happy. I’ll also send you regular photo updates, so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and plan my day carefully to make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and companionship are always part of my routine. I keep my calendar updated and will communicate clearly about my availability.

About: I’ve had pets around me pretty much my entire life, so caring for animals has always felt completely natural to me. I’m originally from Germany and now live in Los Angeles. I’ve also successfully raised three sons — so patience, responsibility, keeping routines running, and looking after someone who occasionally refuses to listen are definitely not new territory. I’m reliable, active, caring, and very attentive to individual personalities. Every pet has their own routines, boundaries, quirks, and very strong opinions about how things should be done — and I’m happy to adapt to them. My goal is simple: while you’re away, your pet gets a new second-favorite human — because I know better than to compete for first place. 🐾 I’m an author and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m around throughout the day. I live directly by the beach, which makes regular walks and outdoor time an easy part of my routine. Your pet won’t just be squeezed into my schedule — I have the flexibility to adapt my day around their needs. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I follow your pet’s routines, feeding schedules, walking habits, boundaries, and any special instructions closely. I pay attention to their body language and never force interaction. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for — while keeping you updated so you can relax, too.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years. My own and sitting in USA and France with multiple pets in a household. I adopted cat 🐈 for 10 years and I had a 🐩 dog for 13, fishes 🐠 , turtles 🐢 and 🐦 birds. I love animals as human companions. I am very picky with their care and I love to help others when they can’t. I know how much your pet need us. I am currently working remotely and I have plenty of time for them. I have a pet friendly car to transport myself easily. I follow instructions in detail and know to observe the little changes in behavior and demands. I am careful with cleanliness and nutrition. I am also very respectful of the homes I stay in and leave them cleaner than I found them. I treat pets and homes as if they were my own. I am very minimalistic, health and waste conscious but flexible and non judgmental. I work remotely daily, I workout outside 3 times a week in the mornings and attend music classes 3x a week midday. I can take care of the house and pet outside that schedule. Food, play time and cleanup I interact with them and talk to them. I give them exercise with your okay. I let them take their time at first to get to know me so I start slow. I collaborate with a dog trainer so I can teach your pet some tricks and help them with their behavior and leashed walks.
“Awesome and great response time! Handled spirit responsibly! Spirit can be a handful sometimes, It was great to know I did not have to stress. She made my life so much easier! Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Venice
We couldn't be happier with Sierra! Charlie warmed up to her almost instantly, which says so much. Our pup can take some time to feel comfortable, so the fact that she felt at ease so quickly is a true testament to how warm and gentle Sierra is. She is always on time and so kind and sweet with Charlie every single visit. It's such a relief knowing Charlie is in caring, reliable hands. We highly recommend her! 🐾
I adore Hayley and so does my dog. Greta communication, always on time or early, sends updates, is flexible if the weather is too hot adjusting her walk plan and always makes sure my dog is given that extra attention. It’s so nice to not worry smith my dog when I’m at work. So happy we found Hayley
Tessa is so great with dogs and I can say I had full trust in her when she was with my pup. Her training experience helped keep consistency with him. She also taught me many things and was very helpful with game planning strategies for the betterment of my house as a first time puppy owner.
Annalisa is wonderful. I have two Shar-Pei, and one is a former stray and needs firm, but gentle compassion one her walks as we work on her lingering anxiety. Annalisa, was unfazed and a total pro from the first walk and Birdi (anxious dog) did great! Annalisa was prompt and a great communicator. I'm very happy we found each other - and I plan to make her a go-to in the future.
I had a last-minute event come up that ran late, and I really needed someone I could trust to take my dog out since I wouldn’t be home until late. Jinell was available on short notice, so easy to communicate with, and made scheduling completely stress-free. I really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent. Thank you so much, Jinell! I would definitely recommend her.
Hillary was amazing with my two dogs walking them for a week! One of my dogs is a senior and the other is very shy- she was so patient with both of them. She was super communicative and sent me pictures every day. I would definitely book with her again and am happy she took such good care of my pups!
I was extremely nervous and even more unprepared for how vulnerable my first experience having a dog sitter was. Jamia arrived as if she'd always been a part of our lives. I can't seem to find words deep enough to express how grateful I am to have had her watch over my dog who is my entire world. Jamia was just as patient with me as she was with him! All of my instructions and guidance for handling my pup she superseded and with each walk and every photo throughout his experience I felt so much more calm. I want to also emphasize the difference in how much more patient and calm my doggie was when I returned from my trip he was definitely changed by his time with Jamia - from the both of us we appreciate you and wish we could give you a 10 star recommendation. Thank you so much.
Lexi is so thoughtful, caring, bubbly, and sweet! I have complete confidence in her to take care of my babies. She genuinely loves dogs, and you can tell by the way she interacts with them. She is trustworthy, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in her hands. I highly recommend Lexi to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dogs like their own! 🐶❤️

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 Venice. 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.

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.
