Dog Walking Culver City

“Aditi took great care of our senior dog! We can tell that Aditi has experience with older dogs and understands their slower pace. She made sure he was safe since he is visually impaired and followed all of our instructions to a tee.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 30 years, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Over time, I became the person people call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals and their home. For years, pet sitting has simply been part of my life. I’m the go-to sitter for many of my friends, and I’ve reached the point where I want to make caring for animals a much more significant part of what I do. I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from healthy, energetic animals to seniors with complex medical needs. The longest I cared for one pet was 15 years. That experience taught me how important it is to know what is normal for an individual animal and to notice when something changes. That is a big part of how I approach pet sitting. I pay attention. I learn their routines, how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what stresses them out. I notice changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, breathing, vocalization, and the other small things that can tell you an animal is not feeling quite right. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have experience with special diets, oral medications, senior-pet care, behavioral issues, and more involved care routines. I understand that when an animal has specific needs, consistency matters. At the same time, I don’t believe every pet needs to be handled the same way. Some animals want constant companionship. Others prefer a little distance until they decide they trust you. Some want long walks and lots of play. Others are happiest sleeping nearby while you leave them alone. I don’t force interaction. I let the animal tell me what kind of relationship they are comfortable having with me. My goal when house sitting is to keep their life as normal as possible while you’re gone. That means maintaining their feeding, walking, play, medication, and sleep routines as closely as I can, while giving them the level of companionship they are used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going at home. And I take the “house” part of house sitting seriously. I treat someone else’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep the space clean and orderly, water plants, bring in mail and packages, take care of the ordinary household tasks that still need to happen while you’re away, and handle minor issues when I reasonably can. The feedback I hear most often is that the animals are happy and relaxed when their people return, and the house looks great. That’s exactly what I want. I want you to come home to happy pets, a cared-for home, and the feeling that while you were away, everything was in good hands. I work mostly from home, with the occasional job taking me out of the home for a few hours at a time. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and sometimes as much as 8. I tend to schedule all my work and pet-sitting around each other so there's no conflict. For puppies, I won't leave them for more than an hour at a time, as they need more bathroom breaks. For smaller dogs, I try to cap it at 3-4 hours. Larger dogs can handle me being away for about 6 hours, and cats I can leave for up to 8. I follow each pet’s established routine closely and let trust develop at their pace. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, keep the home secure and orderly, and handle basic household needs while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and no surprises when you return.

“We had an amazing experience with Matty and Chelsea! They were flexible and easy to communicate with. Our two high energy dogs were no problem for them!”

“Megan has been so great taking our reactive / energetic lab on walks! We wanted zazu to walk with someone who could help reinforce good behaviors and we are already seeing improvements in her comfortability on the leash. Thank you Megan!”

“Travis is an exceptional dog walker for my large, strong golden retriever, Abe. He’s calm, patient, and handles Abe with great control. Abe was nervous the first few visits and even had a couple of accidents, and Travis handled it with total understanding and care. He’s reliable, manages my building’s door entry system easily, and always makes sure Abe has water and is settled before leaving. I trust him completely and highly recommend him, especially for bigger or high-energy dogs. Thank you Travis for always putting my mind at ease when I leave Abe home for the day.”

About: I bring a broad range of experience from rescue work (Karma and NKLA/Best Friends), all sizes, all temperaments, various medical conditions. I am always patient and FOCUSED on your fur baby! I am currently 100% flexible and really looking to grow a client base near my home Culver City. I live near Sony Studios. During the holidays I will go up to 10 miles from home. I am open to dog or cat sitting in your home, but won't have dogs in my home. When I'm with you, I am focused on the dogs and always mindful of house rules.

“Kellin has been great and very patient acclimating our new pup to walks. He's naturally shy and a little scared of people and dogs but she's willing to put in the time and effort to make him comfortable.”

About: I've taken care of over half a dozen dogs and cats of all sizes, mostly through fosters. I will treat your loved on like my own! I work from home and live in a very walkable area. I am happy to take your pup on short or long walks depending on their needs. I have a smaller apartment but have easy access to walking on the street and a safe, quiet local park. At client homes, I am happy to accommodate special feeding or exercise needs.

About: Hi! I’m Aries, a foster volunteer with a special love for rescue dogs. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with all kinds of personalities. Helping my own rescue dog gain confidence has taught me that every dog is different, and that patience, trust, and understanding make all the difference. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and loving home where your dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether your pup loves to play, enjoys quiet cuddle time, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how they’re doing. Because I also have a resident dog, I require a meet & greet for all first-time boarding guests. I carefully match dogs based on their temperament to help create a safe, comfortable, and low-stress stay for everyone. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and carefully supervise all dogs in my care. I have experience with rescue dogs and understand how to recognize signs of stress, fear, or overstimulation. I always use secure leashing practices during walks and take time to help dogs feel comfortable and safe in a new environment. As both a foster and rescue dog owner, I know every dog adjusts differently to new people and environments. Some settle in right away, while others need a little more time and patience. I always prioritize safety, use secure leashing during walks, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level and body language. My goal is to create a calm, low-stress experience where your dog feels safe and understood.

About: I have over 15 years of animal care experience in accredited zoos, vet clinics and rescues working hands on with a variety of species. Just like people, every animal (regardless of species or breed) is a unique individual and I am committed to learning about each individual so that I can maximize their well-being. I have worked professionally with all sorts of species as a positive reinforcement trainer and caretaker: dolphins, rhinos, hippos, snow leopards, parrots, armadillos, eagles, reptiles and everything in between! I often get asked what my favorite species is to work with. Honestly, there is nothing better than the companionship of dogs and cats! However, raccoons and parrots also stole my heart. Most of my professional expertise is in positive reinforcement training; specifically, teaching animals to enthusiastically choose to participate in their own care. I also have a strong passion for geriatric care and end of life/palliative care. While working professionally with animals, in my spare time over the years I was a volunteer hospice home for non-adoptable geriatric dogs at the end of their life. I have been quoted as an animal behavior expert consultant in online publications like Woman's Day, Scary Mommy, Readers Digest and Rover.com. I also have expertise in administering medications (oral and anything that requires a needle), maintaining trained behaviors including manners, ensuring dietary restrictions are met, and more. I am now at a very fortunate point in my life where I am able to take a step back from full time work and can spend some time giving love to your fur babies when you are away. Thanks for considering me, I look forward to meeting you! I am lucky enough to be able to step away from full time work, so when I accept the responsibility of caring for your fur babies you can be assured that they are my only responsibility. I do some remote consulting on the side, but otherwise I do not have other work or family responsibilities at this time. I am a type-A personality and live by the campsite rule of leaving it in better shape than I found it. I am a former project manager which means I am organized and detail oriented. I know what questions to ask to make sure everyone is safe, happy and comfortable. You'll never find me scrolling TikTok while I am out on a walk with your pup.

“It became obvious within seconds of meeting Puddle that Julia has a way with dogs. Puddle was all smiles when he got back from his walk and then immediately splooted and had a long nap. Julia was communicative, organized, and professional. Puddle can’t wait for his next walk!”

“Krupa is great! We did a trial walk for upcoming walks and she was so sweet/kind to my shy/nervous dog. Open to feedback for how to handle my squirrel crazy dog, which I really appreciated! Lovely!”

About: As a child, I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Labrador mix, caring for them with love and dedication. They were a huge part of my life, from picking up after them and giving them baths to playing all night and snuggling up. Later, I extended my passion for dogs by helping with my mom’s housekeeping clients, where I took on the responsibility of walking and entertaining their Pomeranians and pit bulls while my mom worked. Ensuring they had fun and stayed happy in their designated playroom was a rewarding experience that deepened my commitment to dog care. I'm currently working part-time, so on my off days, your dogs will get all my attention! With my flexible schedule, I can provide a structured routine filled with playtime, walks, and cuddles to keep your pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and follow any specific instructions they provide. I make sure to keep the environment clean and organized, and I focus on providing personalized care—whether it’s sticking to their usual walk routes, engaging them with their favorite toys, or giving them the affection and attention they’re used to. My goal is to ensure pets feel loved and well-cared for, maintaining their routine as closely as possible.
