Dog Walking College Area

About: I’ve grown up around both big and small dogs, including Labs and Chihuahuas, as well as Dobermans, and German Shepherds. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently live with a roommate who has a Lab and a cat, so I’m around both dogs and cats regularly. I’ve also had experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others, and I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I am currently working part-time that is during the day. So I can work evenings, the weekends and sometimes during the week on my days off. My apartment is clean and pretty big. There is a lot of places to walk the dog and go to the bathroom near my apartment

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and at 40+ years in, my love for them has only grown. I've pet sat for many households and have a natural ability to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I'm a verified member of Trusted House Sitters (in which the primary is pet sitting), and I take that seriously. I'm experienced with medically complex pets. I've administered subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, and oral medications. I also have cared for special needs animals including a three-legged seizure-prone Chihuahua, a teacup Chihuahua with broken elbows, and a German Shepherd with cow-hocks disease. If your pet has extra needs, they're in capable hands. My approach is calm, grounded, and playful and animals feel it. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and life coach, and the same energy awareness and patience I bring to people, I bring to pets. Anxious, shy, and difficult animals tend to soften around me naturally. My sister didn't call me the Cat and Dog Whisperer for nothing. :D I have a soft spot for the ones others overlook. I've rescued an abandoned Chihuahua-Terrier, adopted a shelter pup, and my two boys Bruce and Charlie came to me as feral kittens nobody else wanted. Every animal deserves patience, consistency, and genuine love and that's exactly what I bring to every walk and drop-in. I'm a San Diego local with regular availability in LA County as well, so wherever you are, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible and I'm available most weekdays and select weekends, morning through evening. I don't operate on a rigid 9-to-5, which means I can work around your pet's needs rather than the other way around. Outside of pet care, I'm an active, outdoorsy person and love hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. That energy carries directly into every walk and drop-in. Your dog won't just get a stroll around the block, they'll get someone who genuinely loves being outside and moving. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities always. I follow your established routines closely and take detailed instructions seriously. Every home, every pet, and every owner is different, and I respect that. When I'm in your home I treat it with care. I leave things as clean or cleaner than I found them. Your space and your pet's environment will be respected. I'm extremely mindful of doors and escape artists. I know how quickly a curious pet can bolt, and I create my own blockades when needed to make sure no one slips out unexpectedly. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs simultaneously including large, high-energy breeds. I've walked a Rottweiler and German Shepherd together, both with strong pulling tendencies, and handled them with confidence. You'll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates daily including sometimes multiple times a day because I know how much you miss them and how much it means to see a happy face pop up on your phone. I also have hands-on experience with pet first aid, including applying Quik Stop for bleeding so minor mishaps are handled calmly and quickly without panic. Your home, your routines, your pet I've got all of it handled.

About: I’ve loved growing up and taking care of both my dogs and cats alike. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted their adorable pets in my care numerous times. I enjoy long/short walks, quick hangouts, and checking in to make sure their pets are safe and sound! I’m currently a university student and have plenty of time between classes during any day of the week to check on and walk your loved pets. I unfortunately can’t take any pets in my own home. However, in my clients home I will happily care for their pets as instructed.

About: I go beyond just walking dogs—I provide personalized care tailored to each pup’s needs. Whether it’s patience and gentle handling for senior dogs, basic training reinforcement for puppies, or extra playtime for high-energy breeds, I ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. With experience in handling various temperaments and special needs, I treat every pet like family. Pet care is a big part of my weekly routine, and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time to it. I am pretty flexible during the weekend and available during most of the day during the week to provide care when needed. I prioritize reliability and flexibility, ensuring that every pet gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve At my home, I have a safe, fenced-in yard where dogs can play freely. For extra exercise, I take the dogs on walks or hikes. If a dog is crate-trained and their owner provides a crate, I know how to use it properly to ensure the dog feels comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, adjusting to their individual needs and routines.

“I hired Zane to walk my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Zane was consistently punctual, always arriving on time to pick up and drop off my dog. He also had excellent communication throughout the entire process, providing me with updates on my dog's well-being and behavior during the walk. What really impressed me was the level of detail in Beni’s updates. He would let me know where they walked, how long they walked for, and if my dog had any issues or special needs during the walk. It was clear that he truly cared about my dog's well-being and was attentive to his needs. Overall, I highly recommend Zane as a dog walker. His punctuality, excellent communication, and attention to detail make him a reliable and trustworthy choice for anyone in need of pet care services.”
