Dog Walking in Arcadia

“Longlong is such an amazing Dog Walker. He takes the time to get to know and meet, to understand the nuances behind your particular, and shows up as promised. It was really hot the days that long long came to walk my furry friend, but he reassured me that he would make sure to give my dog a chance for a potty break and to stretch his legs, but ensure that it wasn’t to the point where his paws kept burned from the hot. He is thoughtful, dependable, and punctual. Highly recommend him to anyone in the SGV area”

“Honestly one of the greatest dog walkers and dog caretaker ever! Melanie is super responsible and very gentle! My puppy is always scared of new people but Melanie really took the time to recognize what our puppy needed and became best friends with our puppy! Melanie is always on time and super diligent about leaving everything where it belongs like our keys, treats, leash and harness. Melanie is very respectful and we and our puppy will always choose her as our dog walker/caretaker!! Thank you Melanie!”

“Vicky stepped in on short notice and took such good care of my dog. She was communicative, sent photos and videos, and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Highly recommend working with Vicky!”

“My dog, Baxter, is such a “Velcro dog” that he doesn’t like to walk with anyone but me. This makes it challenging when I go out of town. But Sonia came to my rescue! She was patient, loving and kind a managed to coax Baxter into walking. She did a great job. Highly recommended!”

About: Grew up in a household full of lots of dogs and cats. Very comfortable and experienced caring for pets of all sizes/ different personality types. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I can be available most weekday mornings and early afternoons to watch pets and or take them for a walk. I have experience watching dogs that may be prone to stress and am always looking out for signs such as itching and posture. Especially in the summer I’m also on the lookout for signs of overheating from the dogs I walk and will take steps to avoid hot surfaces or unshaded routes.

About: I've had a family pet for many years but now in his senior years he lives fully with me! I have experience with taking him to vet visits, washing him, grooming him, walking him (he's friendly and I'm always careful with him around bigger dogs), feeding him a diet that works for his age and making sure he's healthy and a good weight and putting his flea medication on him I work from home so I am available at different times and my schedule is flexible! I would prefer a heads up of 12 - 24 hours if something changes just in case I need to make adjustments. I am very respectful of other people's spaces and I understand all pets are different so I am very open to having a lot of communication with you to understand you and your pets needs. I am always reachable by text or phone call and I think sending you pictures is important so that you feel comfortable with knowing your furry family member is doing well

“Haijin and Victor are AMAZING to work with. I’m always at ease when they walk and care for Tofu. For being an anxious pup, he’s been so comfortable with them from the start. I love that they are always on top of communication and you can tell they have a lot of experience working with dogs. I’m very grateful for them!”

About: I love dogs and get excited whenever I see one! I’m also a great trainer when it comes to walking correctly and potty training. If I get the chance to take care of your dog I promise to follow all rules an owner provides and keep the pets happy while they are gone. This is a perfect side job for me because I love dogs and I’m actually doing something I would enjoy while making extra income. I will go above and beyond to take care of the pets by playing with them and taking walks. Anything extra an owner would need I can provide! Here are some reasons why we might be a great fit for your pup: - We only sit 1 dog at a time - We both work remotely from home Monday to Friday - We've been on a dog schedule for many years (no sleeping in for us, haha) - Our place is already doggy-proofed 🐾 How frequently can you take my dog out? Since we both work from home, we're able to take your dog out for potty breaks every 3 to 4 hours, with long walks in between—if your dog's endurance allows it. 🏠 Do you ever leave the dogs home alone? We both try to stay home when sitting a dog. If we need to briefly step out, we give the dogs have their own separate and safe spaces. 💛 Are you able to cater to my dog’s special needs? We’re happy to accommodate special requests like: refraining from vacuuming if your dog's scared of noise, putting shoes away if your dog's a little shoe snacker (haha), etc. Please let us know every detail on how we can keep your dog safe and comfortable. 📸 Do you send photo and video updates? I love sharing updates! I send photos and or videos with every booking – usually a couple to few times a day. I know how comforting it is to know your dog's happy. 📪💌🤠 Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. I typically reply back within the hour. Thank you so much! I am currently working part time, so I am home most days. When I’m not, my partner is home. If we need to leave the house briefly, your dog will have a safe space where he could roam around, which is our living room/kitchen. We have a dog park at our apartment complex, where we can take them to use the restroom and run around. There’s also walking paths near by where we can go for long walks.

“Delia is great with our large/giant dog and helped us with some ideas to improve obedience and overall behavior. Recommend Delia to everyone!”

About: Hi! I've taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, rabbits and more. I love animals. I rescued my cat from the street when he was 2 weeks old and nursed him to health. My family also rescued a nest of fallen sparrows when I was little, and nursed them to adulthood. Recently, I have completed three successful petsits through another site, all with good reviews. For example: "Briana was so great! She was communicative, punctual, sent tons of pictures, kept the house looking perfect, and did it all with a friendly smile on her face. We'd love to have her watch our boys again." "Briana was a great house guest and pet sitter for my cat Scout. She left our house as she found it. I especially appreciate her good communication and sending me pictures of my happy cat every couple days. I hope she can return again and highly recommend her!" I also take good care of plants :) I'm flexible schedule wise. Just message me to ask! I am open to overnight and same-day sits, as well as being booked in advance. Thanks! In your home, please give me instructions and guidelines and I will follow them. Otherwise I will go by common sense, but your pet will always receive love and attention!

About: I treat my furry family with the same love and respect as my human family, so you can be sure that I will go ways beyond just the necessary care that your fuzzy buddies deserve! In my middle and high school years I spent my weekends volunteering at local dog shelters, and did not shy away from interacting with the larger breeds. Currently, I am coddling my childhood pooch who is now a grouchy senior, so I am used to mixing in supplements during meal times, spoon feeding stubborn eaters, and taking doggies out in strollers so that they may still enjoy aspects of the outdoors without putting too much strain on their precious bodies :) I’m an Art Center College of Design student on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible! Once the semester starts again, I suspect to still have several fully free days in the week due to the way classes at my school are usually organized. I am acutely aware of the importance of ensuring that your furry family is happy, healthy, and safe. I have experience with dogs that are runners, have anxiety, or are sick. If anything happens to go wrong or seem amiss while under my supervision, I will not hesitate to reach out and explain the situation rather than sweep it under the rug in a sorry attempt to save face. All dogs and cats — no matter how small — deserve proper love, respect, and patience.

About: I am a veterinary student that has experience with small animal medicine and care. I focus on quality care and animal safety while providing calm, reliable care. As a former veterinary technician, I am well-versed in care for dogs and cats especially those pets with fluctuating moods. My experience in both veterinary school and in hospital settings allows me to provide the upmost care for anxious, senior, and medicated pets while making sure they feel safe and secure. I provide daily photos and updates to help ease your mind while you’re away. I only sit for one household at a time -> your pet’s full attention! With my years of experience, I detect early signs of stress or illness! Book a free meet & greet to see if I’m the right fit! I am currently on summer break allowing me to work part-time and full-time depending on driving distance to your residence. I am use to early mornings and late nights in boarding care from my hospital experiences. When it comes to house sits and drop-ins, I sync my schedule during my stay to yours to ensure your pet feels as comfortable as possible with reduced anxiety. Please let me know the best way to accommodate for your pet! I have extensive knowledge and experience with small animal husbandry and have taken courses on small animal behavior such as “Animal Welfare.” I am fear free certified (a method used in some hospitals to help reduce the stress and overall improve the health of your pet) and understand the need for gentle, patient care.

About: I dog sat for a friend often when she traveled and have walked many of my friends’ dogs. I love every single one of them! I keep a clean home so they have a safe place to play in. I miss the companionship a pet brings and I would love to give your fur babies all the love and care in the world. I work from home 4 days a week (sometimes everyday), so weekdays are easy for me. I don’t have many meetings and I have a lot of flexibility in when I do my work. I keep a clean and clutter free home. I live in a single story triplex. The place isn’t too big so I can have eyes on your pets most times. My neighbors don’t have any pets. There’s a dog park across the street if your pet is good with other dogs, otherwise it’s a nice place for a walk!

About: I’ve loved animals all my life and have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s giving playful puppies lots of exercise or gently caring for senior pets, I provide patient, loving attention tailored to each pet’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm and reliable personality, and the fact that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also comfortable with administering basic medication, handling anxious pets, and keeping a clean, safe environment at all times. Pet care is a part of my daily life. I set aside time each morning and evening for feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime. I also check in regularly throughout the day to ensure your cat feels safe and comfortable. I treat each pet as my own, giving them love and attention every day. I provide a quiet, clean, and cozy space for cats, separate from dogs if needed. I understand that cats need a calm environment, so I ensure they have plenty of hiding spots, scratching posts, and toys. I’m attentive to their behavior and will make adjustments to ensure they feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and truly treat every pup like family. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and lots of love. I’ve cared for high energy pups and senior dogs; each with their own needs and personalities. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and spoiled (in the best way!). Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I make time for morning walks, mid-day check-ins, and evening play or feeding. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m flexible and committed to giving pets consistent attention, love, and structure. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I easily build it into my schedule because it never feels like a chore. I care for pets by creating a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment whether in my home or yours. I always follow your specific instructions for feeding, routines, and behavior. Safety comes first, so I keep doors secure, monitor outdoor time, and avoid unsafe toys or foods. I earn trust by being patient, consistent, and communicative, giving pets time to feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal like my own with respect, love, and attention to detail.

“Mark is so great with my dog Sheila. He had some great suggestions for different harnesses we could use, and has helped train her into walking more calmly. He’s punctual and very understanding, and just overall amazing. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had one in the home. I also volunteered at my aunt’s pet-sitting center, where I cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, and birds. That experience taught me how to manage different animal temperaments, administer basic care routines, and stay attentive to each pet’s unique needs. On top of that, my dad is a licensed falconer, and I’ve even worked hands-on with his red-tailed hawk — something most people can’t say. That experience gave me an even deeper respect for animal behavior, discipline, and trust-building, especially with more sensitive or high-maintenance animals. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, and high-energy breeds. As a competitive runner for UCSB, I log 30+ miles a week, so long walks or even runs are no problem. Whether your pet needs exercise, structure, or a calm, reliable presence — I bring steady hands and full attention every time. I’m currently home for the summer and have a highly flexible schedule. Furthermore, my academic and training commitments are consistent, which allows me to reliably plan pet care around them. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits, I can work with your routine. I take this opportunity seriously — both as a way to earn income for college and because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. When caring for pets — whether in my home or yours — I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean and secure environment, and always take time to build trust with the animal. You can expect regular updates, responsible handling, and clear communication. I know that leaving your pet in someone else's care is a big decision, and I’ll treat your home and your animal with the same care and attention I’d give my own.
