About: I have worked with dogs at doggy day cares, dog hotels, shelters, fosters, and even movie sets! While my profile focuses on dog sitting, I'm happy to take care of your rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, reptile, fish, bird, etc! Let's chat. I work part-time for a yoga studio and my husband or I are always home at night! We love watching movies with our two pooches, and can’t wait to have a movie night with your best friend! I have two friendly chihuahua mixes that love meeting other dogs. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of photos of your dogs during their fun stay!
About: I have owned pets my entire life, always dogs but ranging from birds to rodents and more! I have experience working for vet clinics, doggy daycares and boardings, as well as fostering and have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and cats! I am are well versed in doggy dietary needs, positive reinforcement, and belly rubs! Also, patient, committed, and love adventures. Me and my dog, Frank, aim to send your dog home exhausted from a day of fun and love! Our home includes a fenced in yard, with a privacy fence and a metal driveway gate to keep all pets secure in the yard. Our neighborhood is great for walks and there are many parks close by. I have a 90lb mixed breed boy who is very friendly and not aggressive at all! We also have a senior cat who really doesn't care and would rather nap inside or outside than pay attention to any dog. Working from home allows us to board on any day and offer pick up and drop off as an option to help all busy dog parents! We have a privacy fenced in yard, as well as a large dog to help keep your fur baby company! A large crate is available for any needs, as well as spare rooms and closed off areas for any animal that needs space or quiet time.
“Andi took great care of our pup! Just after the Meet and Greet, our pup was clawed in the eye by a stray cat! Andi adjusted her plans, administered eye drops, and took the Cone of Shame off for walk time and back on afterwards. Thanks Andi!”
“Stephanie is great. She’s walked our new pup for us while we are at work. Always very responsive, leaves great pictures, and the Rover “report card” for walks is so cute! Just like daycare you know what your dog did while you were gone.”
“We have booked Mark multiple times to walk our dog and he continues to be a wonderful dog walker! I appreciated the extra time and care he took with my dog. Thanks Mark!”
About: Hello pet parents! Here’s a little bit about me: I’ve been dog sitting for the last 9 years, through Rover, long time clients and personal friends. I grew up around dogs in my family and have really enjoyed learning to train and care for other pups. I work from home at a health and wellness company and having a furry friend around definitely brightens every day! Working from home, I tend to have more time on my hands to help you take care of your pup so you can have an ease of mind while you’re away 😊 My mornings start bright and early around 8 am. Walks will usually happen by that time, or earlier / later depending on your dog’s needs. I don’t have many meetings throughout the day, so I have a lot of flexibility 😊 For boarding: My apartment is well kept and clean and I never leave any open garbage or food scraps out so you do not to worry about your dogs getting into them. My place is about 1150 sq ft (2 bedrooms) so there’s a bit of room to play! For home sitting: I will always make note of house rules and abide by them at all times (and make sure your dog is too!). You can trust me to keep the place neat and tidy, just the way you left it!
“Julien was absolutely wonderful with my little boy, Coco! I booked him four times, and from the very first walk, I knew Coco was in great hands. Julien was friendly, trustworthy, reliable, and so good with Coco. Coco can be VERY picky about who he likes, so the fact that he immediately took to Julien was a huge sign for me! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Coco was happy and comfortable with him. I would absolutely book Julien again and again. He’s fantastic, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! 🐾❤️”
“I can tell from the photos that my toy American Eskimo loves her time with Vezoth! Their walks include a stop for playing fetch in a gated area. They currently walk together 3 times a week, and we've booked some special weekend walks. We first met face to face, for a meet and greet. She is a very warm and kind person who is a true dog lover!”
“Yesenia made my little pup so happy, and tired her out just enough so she was very content when I got home. And there was great communication and photos throughout. I will ask her to walk my dog again. She was great!”
“Diana is amazing! We needed a last minute dog walker and Diana was there. My dog absolutely loves her and she went above and beyond to make sure he was walked and that his water was full, and she stuck to our routine. She is so friendly and good with our dog that we hope to keep her in our rotation. She's the best!”
About: I have taken care of dogs from 5 lbs up to 92 lbs. All dogs have big hearts! I currently have a senior special needs dog, so being attentive is natural. I will always ask for allergies or special needs your pet may have. I am currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am currently available most days a week. I am experienced in senior dogs with special needs.I board one pup at a time. Can provide walks or play time in large yard.

As a dog-owner myself, I understand special requests and am always willing to fulfill them as well as keep you updated with pictures and texts. Your pets will be in great hands with me.

When coming to your home I’m always hyper aware when entering and exiting to ensure there are no escape artists!
“Kia was AWESOME, our Vizsla loves him! Our crazy pup got 8k steps in and is now ready for a nap. Kia sent us photos and updates of Jeffrey’s progress the entire time, we will be booking with him again”
About: ✨ MY BACKSTORY ✨ Growing up in England, our beloved Border Collie, Orsa, was the heart of our home 🐾 and the reason dogs have always been such a big part of my life. Over the years, friends and family would often leave their dogs in our care while travelling, and I quickly realised how much I loved creating a calm, loving “home away from home” for pups while their humans were away. ☀️ MY LIFE NOW ☀️ Now living in sunny California with my husband and our dog-loving toddler, I’ve continued that same style of care here in Pasadena. We are a calm, one-pup-at-a-time household, which means your dog receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and a peaceful environment — never a chaotic pack setting. We live in a clean, single-story home with a large, fully enclosed yard, perfect for relaxed playtime, sniffing, sunbathing, and cozy naps indoors. Our home is best suited to dogs who enjoy a serene family environment and want to feel truly settled while their owners are away 🏡💛 Our curious little one absolutely adores dogs and is gentle and respectful of their boundaries. For everyone’s comfort and safety, all visiting dogs must be friendly with children. We can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little family and help them feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am at home full-time so your pet will always be my priority. For home-visits and walks, organising times convenient for you and your pet can be easily arranged. My husband, Ahmet (another animal lover!) works from home regularly also. We don't have any other pets and we don't accept multiple bookings at once so your fur-baby will always be our focus. Our home is a bright and spacious bungalow on a tree-lined street with our own fenced yard for your pup to play in. We are incredibly active people who spend a lot of time outdoors and we are committed to offering your pet a holiday of it's own whilst staying with us!
About: I been taking care of dogs since I remember… I would love your dog as if it was my own… I am very patient with puppies & willing to train them while they spend some time at my casita. I currently have the most perfect work schedule with a lot of availability that I would love to take care of your furry babies on my days off. I have a fenced backyard! A lot of room to run around… I have to two dogs of my own that would love to have more friends!
About: Like many pet lovers know, animals have a good radar for caring people. Often animals approach me, because they know I pay attention and feel safe. I also work very well with senior pets and those needing medical care. I am an educator, researcher and program evaluator, who works from home a couple times a week. I teach educators, high school, and college students. I conduct research on well-being and school success. Furthermore I evaluate health and educational programs. I am a published author and lead a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization supporting student mental health and success. I believe that pets will indicate their wants preferences and needs. Furthermore, I also believe that pet owners, for the most part, are most informed on the best way to keep their animals happy and healthy. Therefore I always follow the lead of pet owners and make sure to establish a secure relationship with the animals I have the honor of working with.
“Tomas took care of our two dogs and two cats for a week while we were out of town. He did an amazing job and our dogs absolutely loved him! We will definitely hire him again.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have personally lived with 5 cats during my life time and have taken care of dogs outside of my house for friends and family. Of those 5 cats, 3 I have taken care of until they passed away, so I know how to take care of both young and older animals. I am currently a behavior therapist for children with autism. I am a very patient and calm person that extends to both my personal and professional life. It is very important to me to get to have a good relationship with the pet that I am taking care of. I currently work part time as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. I am completely free on the weekends and have time early afternoon and late at night on weekdays to do drop ins or stay the night. I am more than willing to follow any care that is required for the pet in question. I will take the time the play with them, take them on walks, give them food, and medicine if that is something they need. I will make sure they treat your home respectfully as I know from experience that cats and dogs alike enjoy doing things with furniture that they are not supposed to. I will always make sure that your pet is happy and comfortable when around me.

So glad we went with Khawinda after our last regular walker moved away. She was right on time and asked the right questions to help me feel at ease. My pup is super high energy and not the best on leash but I could tell right away she had experience with these special types. I can see on my doggy cam that he so excited when Khawinda's at the door. Reliable, communicative, and someone who genuinely enjoys animals instead of treating it like a quick gig. She even checked on our chickens for us. :) Thank you Khawinda!!
I’ve had a great experience with Samantha over the past two weeks and am still happily using her for my dog’s walks. She is incredibly accommodating with my schedule, quick to respond to messages, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate how reliable she is and that she takes the time to wipe my dog’s paws after each walk. I plan to continue booking with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker!

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 Altadena. 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.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
