Dog Walking Echo Park

“Brendon was awesome! He was able to take my pup on a last-minute walk, covered a lot of ground, and gave me a nice, detailed and entertaining report once he was done. Will definitely use him again!”

About: As an owner of a big, powerful dog I know it can be difficult finding a walker who can handle their size and avoid unsafe situations. So if you have a large breed friend who requires a strong leader, I’d love to take them for a walk, safely! Freelance film maker with a lot of free time. I’m available during the week and on weekends. I have a dog but would walk your dog(s) separately. I have a large friendly dog named Rudi. I can board your dog as long as they can meet beforehand to make sure they get along. I have a large fenced in back yard as well as a good size, private porch area. We live in echo park with plenty of dog friendly areas and parks.

“Alyssa is very personable and was attentive to the instructions I gave her about not only walking the dog, but also about getting in and out of my apartment (which can be tricky). I appreciate her communication and will continue to use her services.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and have been lucky to live with pets for the majority of my life. In the past few years I’ve had the opportunity to dog sit for a lot of folks in my neighborhood, and have taken care of dogs small and big! I love trotting around town with a pup! :’) I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule, so I’m able to easily work pet care into my daily routine. I have a car, so I’m able to get around! I am very attentive to your pup, and make sure to stay vigilant while guiding your dog on a walk - especially around the busy city!

“KC is such good vibes. Lupe loved him from the start. They walked a long distance in a short time and she came straight to nap after their walk, an epic success. Will definitely hit him up again! Thanks a ton KC!”

About: I’ve had and cared for pets my whole life, from puppies and kittens into old age. I believe the unconditional love and companionship we receive from animals deserves reciprocation. It brings me so much joy to spend even a fraction of my day with such loving creatures. I also enjoy taking pet photos and sharing with their owners so they can know their loved ones are happy and in good hands! I currently have Thursday’s and Friday’s off from work, so my schedule is pretty open after I drop my kids at school at 8 until I pick them up at 5:30. I could potentially do some weekends as well, depending on timing and frequency. I treat every client’s home and pets as if they were own, with the utmost care and respect. I am reliable and incredibly cautious with locking up and making sure all is in order before I go.

“Stephanie went above and beyond! She stopped by the night before our appt. for a meet and greet and to get my keys. She was so sweet and really cool to talk with. The next day she showed right up on time and took my pupper for a better walk than I even give him. She sent lots of pics and communication and she even stayed way longer than she had to. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely book again soon. I wish there was some sort of tipping option on the app because she seriously deserves it. Thanks again, mama!”

“Ryan has walked my senior dog, Lily, several times now. She is very patient with her as she wants to smell all the things and he’s able to handle her around other dogs even though she’s dog aggressive. I will continue using Ryan whenever I need help and I encourage you to use him as well.”

“Minh has been an amazing dog walker for me and my pup. She's extremely punctual, super easy to communicate with, and my dog loves her—what more do you want? Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you're looking for someone for walks!”

About: Experienced pet owner (3 dogs, 3 cats, currently own 1 dog) and dog fosterer between 2016-2018 for multiple organizations! I recently had a stray dog take shelter on my patio, likely not a coincidence, and after a week of coaxing managed to bring her inside my home with crate training (my dog Petunia was a great companion) and get her into rescue! See 3rd photo! I truly love animals and have experience with all sizes, energy levels and even fear based aggression. I administer meds to my dog daily and am extremely specific when it comes to my own dog's care, so I know what it means to be a client with high expectations! I love getting to know and develop bonds with animals and it has always been natural to me. Depending on your dog, my dog Petunia can cohabitate with yours or yours with mine. I have a flexible remote schedule, with more availability on Fridays and Saturdays. Afternoons and evenings during the week work very well for me! I consider any Rover service a delightful respite where I can disconnect amd focus on your pet! I have my own dog (see photos) so for extended dogsitting I can bring her to yours or have yours stay with us! I am very good about making a calm entrance to reassure any pet and get to know each pet "on their level".

I am also an avid runner and love running around Silverlake Reservoir or Echo Park Lake. If your dog really needs to get energy out, then I am the gal for that. I enjoy taking pups to the Silverlake Dog Park as well, for a nice cool down. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a more energetic walk, I'm happy to tailor each outing to their needs and personality. Would love to hear more information about your pup and help make his/her day more enjoyable with a long nature walk!! xo ------------------------------------------------------- ** Overnight Information: I take pride in offering a professional, personable, and premium boarding service, where I board only ONE dog at a time to ensure undivided attention. My home is consistently clean, with a sizable/gated backyard providing a safe, fun and hygienic environment for your furry companion. Working from home also allows me to be fully dedicated to your pet's needs, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience during their stay. I also come equipped with crates, dog beds, and many dog enrichment toys so even if you can't bring yours, your dog will get the bedding/toy situation he/she needs to feel comfortable and have fun. And as an added security, I place an airtag on your dog's collar for the entire stay for mine and your peace of mind.** What sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile skill set and genuine passion for pets. I have expertise in both training puppies and providing gentle care for seniors, and can cater to a wide range of needs.

Next to my experience on Rover, I also have over 5 years of experience fostering kittens and dogs. I currently work as a freelance writer from a beautiful home in Echo Park. My home is completely fenced in with ample play area for your fur baby to enjoy. I would love to share my home with your puppo for walks, cuddles, sun bathing, snacking, fetch and water fun! When caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe and comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I provide ample playtime, regular exercise, and affection to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met, especially when they are away from mom/dad. I am also keen on maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules and medication if needed, to minimize stress. My home includes a sizable backyard with an enclosed fence and I am also within walking distance of two parks. I also love driving to the Silverlake reservoir and Elysian for midday jaunts!

About: Hey! I grew up with dogs in my household, so I’ve had a lot of training and experience with taking care of them. I regularly go for a walk, run or hike with the dogs I watch around Echo Park lake or Elysian park, which is in close proximity to my apartment if they are up for it! I have a decent size apartment for them to explore, but am very careful not to leave items out that could cause any harm. I love cuddling up with pups and look forward to meeting you both! I generally work from home as a freelance creative, and am around most weekends, giving me ample time to play with and walk your pup. I have a decent sized apartment and little patio space where dogs can co-habitat and roam freely. I can crate if necessary as well. I clean regularly and am careful not to leave out items or food that may be chewed on or swallowed.

“Jessica came to our house while we weren’t home for a very last minute walk request and even refilled our dogs water bowl without us asking. A true gem!”

“Maegan was awesome! She walked my dog Tofu recently and she did an amazing job with sending me awesome pictures of Tofu on his walk and also a quick summary on how the walk went. She was very responsive with any questions I had and was also flexible with scheduling. I would definitely use her services again in the future!”

“Rebekah was great! She was very sweet with our dog, Gus! I would happily recommend her & will book with her again.”

About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors and blind dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had 7 dogs, 5 cats, a horse, rabbits, hamsters, and even a rat over the years, so I’m well-versed in all kinds of animal quirks, needs, and love languages. I have a calm, intuitive way with animals - the kind of energy that helps anxious pets feel safe and confident. I’m experienced in administering medications, supporting dogs with chronic or multiple medical conditions, and tailoring routines to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s crate training a new puppy, giving meds on a strict schedule, or providing gentle companionship to a senior dog who just wants company, I meet each pet exactly where they are. I treat every animal like my own - with patience, love, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a freelance creative working mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be fully present with pets. Walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles are part of my daily rhythm, and I structure my work around their needs to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications if needed, providing walks, playtime, and companionship, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine.

About: I'm the sitter who lets your pet come to me on their terms — because I know trust is earned, not assumed. I grew up in a house with five cats and one Doberman, so I've spent basically my whole life reading feline body language and figuring out what makes each one tick. I love the little rituals: figuring out if your cat's a chin-scratch or belly-rub type, learning their favorite napping spot, and sticking to their routine so nothing feels different while you're gone. I'm happy just hanging out. Cats are where my heart is, but growing up with a dog too means I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, and big-personality energy as well. (P.S. I’m steps from a walking trail and dog park 🐶) Pet care is baked into my daily rhythm — mornings start with feeding and check-in time, evenings wind down with cuddles. I’m dad to one very large, very fluffy Norwegian Forest Cat, so I already live the routine: feeding schedules, weekly brushing (that coat is a full-time job), and reading his “pay attention to me now” cues. I watch for the small signals that show how a pet is really doing — pinned ears, a low tail, pacing instead of settling, changes in appetite. I always double-check doors and windows are secure, since that’s when pets are most likely to slip out. At home, my cat (cat and dog friendly) has his own quiet space, so any guest pet can decompress without pressure to interact. I’m also comfortable with medication, dietary restrictions, and adjusting my approach based on a pet’s age or anxiety level — because good care isn’t one-size-fits-all.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.

About: As an owner of an anxious and reactive dog I understand that patience and kindness goes a long way; which should be applied to any pet. I will make sure I take the time to understand your pets demeanor, habits, and personality traits so they can receive the best care possible. Building trust with pets and their owners is of the utmost importance to me because at the end of the day our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such. I am currently in-between jobs and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I am availability throughout the week and can do weekends as needed. I live in a apartment with my small, anxious/reactive dog. I take him out for a 15-30 minute walk 3 times a day. He gets fed twice a day at 8am and 6pm. We play and do clicker training once a day to build his confidence and reduce his anxiety.
