Dog Walking in Culver City

About: If I were a pet sitter, I’d say what sets me apart is my adaptability and deep knowledge base. I can give tailored care for different types of pets—puppies, senior pets, or those with special needs. I’d approach training with a calm and positive reinforcement mindset, especially for puppies who are just learning the ropes. For senior pets, I’d ensure they’re comfortable, with plenty of low-impact playtime and attention to any medical needs or mobility issues they might have. I’d also make sure I know their routine and be consistent, as that helps them feel secure. If you want someone with a flexible, thoughtful approach, who’s also equipped to handle anything from teaching basic commands to ensuring senior pets are comfortable, I’d be your go-to! What kind of care does your pet need? If I were a pet sitter, I’d design my schedule around your pet’s needs and routines. I’d make sure to fit in regular walks, playtime, and feeding times at consistent intervals, which helps pets feel secure and know what to expect. For puppies, I'd include training sessions during the day, keeping them engaged and learning while also giving them breaks. For senior pets, I'd factor in some slower-paced walks, gentle grooming, and more downtime to make sure they're comfortable. I’d also be sure to keep in touch with you throughout the day, sending updates and photos, so you can always check in on how your pet’s doing. Does your pet have any specific schedules or routines you'd like me to follow? If I were caring for pets in my home or your home, safety and trust would be my top priorities. I’d create an environment where pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure, whether it's in their own familiar space or a new one. Here's how I'd approach it: In My Home: Safety First: I’d pet-proof the entire space, ensuring that there are no hazardous objects within reach. Gates, secure fencing, and safety locks would be in place to keep pets out of potentially dangerous areas. Comfort & Familiarity: I’d keep their favorite items, like blankets, toys, and beds, to maintain a sense of their home. That way, they have a comforting and familiar environment, even if it’s not their usual space. Structured Routine: Consistent feeding, play, and nap times would be followed to ensure they feel safe and secure. I’d keep a quiet and calm environment for any pets that need it (especially older pets or those who are nervous). Constant Supervision: Whether indoors or outside, I’d always supervise their activities and playtime, especially if they’re unfamiliar with the space or other animals. In Your Home: Respecting Their Space: I’d make sure to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. That includes feeding them at their usual time, sticking to familiar play areas, and continuing any training or habits you’ve established. Safety & Security: Your pet’s safety would always come first. I’d make sure all doors and gates are secure, and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations (like near a busy road or an open window). Environmental Consistency: I’d keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and comfortable. If your pet has any specific comfort items, like a special bed or blanket, I’d make sure to use those to make them feel more at home. I’d also keep a line of communication open with you, updating you regularly on how your pet’s doing. Does your pet have any special needs or preferences that I should be aware of for either setting?

About: Hi! I’m Madison. Born and raised dog lover turned cat mom. I grew up owning dogs all my life , and many have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their pets! I fostered 4 kittens and 1 dog over the course of this summer, and just adopted my new baby, Nori! 🍣 While I’m not currently taking in pets into my home for boarding, I’m happy to watch after your pets in theirs! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to pop over and give your pet some love. I might even bring over my laptop for extended hangs and couch cuddles! Pets are great coworkers 🐾 Happy to use a lock box to enter your home or any digital keypads. I can walk if local. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I have been the primary dogsitter for a shih tzu mix, Treasure, over the past 3 years. This includes walking, feeding, comforting, administering medication and any other duties as required. I usually take Treasure to the park as we both love the outdoors. I also run additional task like checking on her apartment as needed. I grew up around pets and animals including dogs, cats, pigeons, and chickens. Recently, I've done some housesits on THS all with 5 🌟 reviews which I can share if needed. I'm a WFH accountant with a very active lifestyle. I recently started a theater program and I'm looking to transition fulltime to petsitting. My daily routine consist of waking up by 7am to workout and start the day. My classes run from 11-5 Monday to Thursday so I generally feed and walk the pets before and after those times. I'm free for overnights and free for full day sits on the weekend if your pets have an anxious attachment style. My weekly routine consist of working, hiking, going to classes, continuing education online, attending social and fitness groups, volunteering with a nonprofit occasionally. I love the outdoors and usually bring the dog along to the park or hikes, if it's permitted by the owner. When I'm caring for pets, I care for them based on the specific requirements of each owner. Most dogs I walk and feed them atleast 2-3 times during the day. If the pets enjoy outdoors or car rides, I take them to the park with me if permitted. If there are any medications, I apply per the owner's direction. During housedits I always leave the home the same or cleaner than I've found it.

About: Hi:) I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I grew up with dogs and cats. Almost everyone in my neighborhood had dogs which made it absolutely natural to include them into our routines. Was it seeing your friends by taking the dogs for a walk or arranging playdates for dogs and ourselfs..we always had pets around us. I’m also experienced in taking care of dogs and cats I don’t know and it was always such a pleasure. I have a flexible schedule. In my daily routine I always take breaks to go for a walk or on a hike which is a perfect opportunity to include your pet in that routine. I would always asked the owner about rules for indoor and outdoor. If I let a dog out in the backyard I would always check the area for possibly hazards or holes in the fence. If the pet acts unusual..I would report it to the owner immediately.

About: If you’re looking for someone who will love and spoil your pup like family, you’ve found the right person! I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for dogs is truly a joy for me. I’ve dog sat for everything from a quick visit to a full week, with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and training levels. I’ve been responsible for the full care of puppies, adult dogs, and seniors—including feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, mental stimulation, and crate training. I’ve also fostered several dogs, each with their own unique energy levels and needs, so I’m well-versed in adapting to what makes each pup feel comfortable and safe. I consider myself a very active person. I thoroughly enjoy starting or ending my day with a walk especially on the beach when I am home. I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to the care of a dog and will happily work with what fits the best routine for the pet. My apartment has a convenient outdoor area, and I’m surrounded by dog-friendly sidewalks that are perfect for walks. Because I have such easy access to the outdoors, I’m able to take your dog out as many times as needed throughout the day. I always follow your dog’s specific schedule and can easily adapt to their potty and feeding routines. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, structured exercise, or just some quiet time based on their energy level and age, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and happy the entire time. I’m a huge communicator and always make sure to keep you updated throughout your dog’s stay—with regular messages and plenty of photos.

“Anna was great! She was prompt with all of her communication. From the pictures, it looked like my dog, Maverick, had a fabulous time! I would definitely recommend Anna!”
