Dog Walking in Altadena

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While I don’t currently have a canine companion at home, I’ve cared for and walked friends’ dogs over the years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, leisurely sniffing adventures, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and exercise while you’re away. I have flexible availability on most Mondays and Fridays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, an evening stroll, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help whenever my schedule allows. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routines stay consistent. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I provide thoughtful, individualized care for dogs and cats in a calm, structured home environment. My approach is not basic pet sitting - it is attentive, behavior-aware care tailored to each pet’s temperament, routines, and emotional needs. I have many years of experience with pet sitting and dog walking, and I am especially attentive to pets who need patience, reassurance, and consistency to feel safe. I usually host only one dog at a time so I can give each guest focused attention, close supervision, and a lower-stress experience. If exceptions are ever made, they are limited and handled carefully. I have completed multiple dog training classes and have been working toward dog trainer credentials. I am experienced with loose-leash walking, crate training, enrichment activities, and administering medications. For dogs, my goal is not only safe care, but a stay that supports confidence, comfort, and emotional well-being. Depending on the dog, that may include structured walks, hikes, park outings on lead, puzzles, play, and other enrichment designed to reduce stress and keep them engaged. Cats receive the same level of individualized attention. I provide a quiet environment for boarded cats, which helps them settle in more comfortably. Most cats adjust within 12-48 hours and then enjoy a relaxed, enriching stay with plenty of observation, respect for their boundaries, and cat-specific care. I am a strong fit for pet parents who are looking for more than supervision - they want someone who understands animal behavior, notices the details, and prioritizes their pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. I’m working from home most days and am an early riser. I am walking my dog guests several times a day. Depending on their abilities, I take them on regular hikes, mostly early in the morning. I can accommodate small bladders and seniors with special needs. If your dog has special needs that are time consuming like cancer or GI care, please use the grooming feature to add additional services and let me know. We can always adjust the fees during or after a meet and greet. As devoted caregiver for both cats and dogs, safety and wellbeing of pets comes first. At your home, I will provide them with the care and attention needed while your are away and keep them entertained and well fed. I try to create a comfortable and stress-free environment. This includes that I only have one pet guest in my house at a time. My home is in a quiet neighborhood with parks close by. The patio offers safe space to play for your dog. I do not have a separate yard for free-ranging. For cat guests, the house with its staircase provides them with an giant build-in cat tree.

“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!”

“Silvia was very sweet to my 2 dogs and sent me pictures of my girls on their walk. She left me detailed feedback of the walk and let me know she cleaned up and replenished their water before she left. I am very impressed with this experience and will definitely love to work with Silvia again!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I've worked as an animal care technician and have training in animal behavior and positive-reinforcement handling. Whether your pet is anxious, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I'm happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of love and attention while you're away. You'll get regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I can't wait to meet your pet! 🐶🐱💛 Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to stick to your pet's usual routine—whether that means specific meal times, regular walks, or just being around for company throughout the day. I'm happy to help with medications, playtime, or simply keeping your pet loved and cared for while you're away. Safety is my top priority. I have in-depth knowledge of recognizing and preventing safety concerns, so you can trust your pet will be in careful, attentive hands at all times.

About: Your furry friend is sure to be taken care of when they come to our home! With a family of children, there isn't a lack of the entertaining, special attention and love they will be given. My husband and I have been caring for the cats and dogs of our friends for years and are excited to have you consider us to watch after your fur baby! My schedule allows me to be home most of the day and will be available to watch after your fur baby throughout the day to give them walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Choosing the overnight boarding option? Our family winds down around 10 and are early risers, allowing us to give ample attention to your pet. I have a fenced yard and large area for the dogs to play! I have a pool that is gated off and can either let them near the water, or keep them away; whatever you prefer! I do not have any pets of my own and only book one dog at a time, allowing your dog to feel safe and not have to worry about territorial issues.

About: *House Sitting (in your home) is my only availability at the moment! We are in the process of finding another home in Pasadena, we can no longer take any bookings for boarding for the rest of the year at the moment. Thank you for your understanding!* Hello pet parents! Here’s a little bit about me: I’ve been dog sitting for the last seven years, through Rover and personal friends. I grew up around dogs in my family and have really enjoyed learning to train and care for other pups. I feel that it’s almost an instant click with every furry friend that I’ve met so far ❤️ I work M-F from home at a tech company and having a friend around brightens every day! My partner and I love dogs but currently don’t own one. 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 8am. I would typically walk your dogs at that time to start off the day, then every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and another half hour walk at the end of the day. I understand that every pups’ schedule is different so I am flexible to cater to your dogs needs. For boarding- My apartment is very minimalistic which makes it pet safe. I never leave any open garbage or food scraps out so you do not to worry about your dogs getting into them. We also get ants if we ever leave any food out so we keep it extra clean. My place is about 1150 sq ft 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!

“It was a really good experience working with Lanice. I am excited to work with her again. My puppies are very strong and can be difficult to control if you are not patient. Lanice was willing to take the time for Hazel bell and Zeus to get to know her and take instructions. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Courtney does an excellent job taking our Dutch shepherd on his morning walks. She has built a good relationship with him and he does really well with her. She’s on time and takes him a good long routes to help get out his morning energy.”

“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.”

“Jackeline did a great job taking care my dog. She was very communicative throughout the walk. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of and walked dogs of all kinds since I was 10.

About: Hi I'm CJ. I’ve been a volunteer with the Pasadena Humane Society for two years, caring for kittens and socializing rescued and stray cats. I also regularly pet-sit for friends and have experience with cats, dogs, and bunnies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medication for cats, enrichment activities, and giving lots of attention and calm energy. I'm very dependable, communicative, and respectful of both your pets and your home. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or overnight sitting, I’m happy to help! I currently work from home and manage my own schedule, so I’m very flexible and able to accommodate a wide range of pet-care needs. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can easily adjust my routine for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m always just a message or call away if your pets need care or attention. When I care for someone's pet, I follow the routine the pet is already comfortable with to help them feel safe and relaxed. For dog walking, I make sure each walk matches your dog’s energy level—whether it’s a calm neighborhood stroll or a longer, more active walk. I always prioritize safety, use secure leash handling, and keep a close eye on their surroundings. For feeding, I follow the owner specific instructions for meal portions, timing, treats, and any dietary or medication needs. During overnight stays, I maintain the pet normal routine as closely as possible, including playtime, potty breaks, bedtime habits, and plenty of companionship. I keep owner's home tidy, send regular photo updates, and make sure the pet feels cared for, comfortable, and never alone.

“Nataly was amazing with our dog Mia! We were so happy to receive a ton of photos after every walk. She was very thorough in her Rover cards, had outstanding communication, and was open to doing a meet and greet with us beforehand. We will definitely be reaching out to her for walks in the future!”
