Dog Walking El Sereno

“Will is amazing! I couldn't recommend him more. Great at communication. Takes initiative and asks the right questions. Sam, my dog who is a large dog took to him straight away. I received updates and great feedback. Thank you!”

About: Hi there — I go by Lio (she/her)! I grew up with a Jack Russell and later lived with a Cavalier King Charles puppy, then a reactive rescue Brittany Spaniel for 3 years before moving to LA. I’ve been hands-on with everything from potty training to reading canine body language, and I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s personality. I’ve also lived with a British Longhair cat for 3 years, so I’m used to caring for both dogs and cats in the same household. Most of the animals around me growing up were rescues, often with a bit of sensitivity, so I naturally developed a calm, patient approach. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs — from shy or reactive to high-energy breeds (herding, hunting and hounds). I’ve also dogsat for a year through Pawshake and currently volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society. I'm especially experienced in sensitive and reactive pups. I've cared for rescues and street dogs, and will make sure I show them love while respecting their boundaries! I currently work from home during weekdays, and will have most of the day to pamper and play with your pet. I am available all weekend for overnights. Giving space, making sure I give out respect, patience and care. The most important aspect for me is to be attuned to them. Understanding their language, making sure they are comfortable 100% of the time. Regular potty breaks, grooming if needed, and a stress-free environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages before, from terriers to Scotch collies. These dogs have ranged in age as well, with some being as young as 1-3 and the oldest being 15. I make sure to communicate frequently to ensure pets receive thoughtful and fun care that is also respectful of their boundaries. I’m a teacher and currently on summer break, so my time for pet care is pretty open and prioritized right now! Rover is my primary focus at the moment, so let’s chat about some care for your pet! Whenever in a new environment, I make sure to inspect all possible exits or potential areas for danger or risk for pets. Additionally, respecting your home and your boundaries is a top priority of mine! I don’t use things unless I’ve asked about them and will communicate if a situation ever arises. I don’t have boarding as an option at the moment, but if that ever changes, pet safety and comfort is always a priority!

“Excellent communication :)”

“Maggie has been an amazing weekly walker for Riggy! Riggy gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She handles Riggy’s rambunctious energy like a pro (even when she has to wrestle with the harness because Riggy insists on trying to bite it when it gets put on her 😂). Maggie always makes sure Riggy has water during her walks and even refills her water bowl afterward, which we really appreciate. She’s incredibly easy to schedule with, reliable, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. Most importantly, we completely trust Maggie and know Riggy is in the best hands whenever they’re together. That’s exactly why she’s become our number one go-to walker. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“Lori was great at communicating. She was sweet with our dog, Zara, and Zara seemed to like her. We had hired her for a walk, and we look forward to using her to stay with Zara at a future date.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little one. Since having my own animals over the years, I’ve come to understand the type of care we pet parents need when trusting someone new with our furry family members. I have a big house with a fenced in yard and I’m always happy to help out in a last minute bind, something planned ahead, or even something on the regular. I have a very flexible work schedule allowing me to be available at any time of the day. I’m up with before the sun and love to take multiple walks a day. My cat and I hang out when she feels like it. There is nothing more important to me than your pet feeling loved and their safety. I have a fenced in yard and a 4 bedroom house. I do have a cat at home who is good with other animals, but she can have a separate area of the house of your fur baby isn’t into it. I’m happy to crate if that is your routine. My goal is for your pet to have as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and happy.

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for small to medium-sized dogs for over 15 years — from playful pups to sweet seniors up to 14 years old. I’ve handled all kinds of care, including giving meds and helping dogs with special needs (my own one-eyed senior dog taught me so much about patience and unconditional love!). I treat every dog like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, walks, or cozy cuddles, your pup will always have fun and get plenty of attention. You can count on me to care for your dog as if they were my own — with kindness, reliability, and lots of tail wags! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I love spending time with dogs — going on walks, playtime, feeding, and just giving them attention and affection. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent routines, exercise, and love. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening cuddle time, I truly enjoy every moment. Taking care of dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love, and it naturally fits into my daily routine. When I care for pets, I always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they would at home with their family. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs they may have. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality — whether they love playtime, belly rubs, or just quiet company — and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. In my home, pets have a cozy, clean space to relax and play, and in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. My goal is always to make every pet feel happy, secure, and cared for while their family is away.

About: Experienced and trusted, family/friend animal caretaker. I grew up with various animals and have a preference for the furry critters. Comfortable with animals of various shapes, sizes, and personalities. I work in education therefore I can create and implement structure for your pet. I can be stern and dependable while being loving and kind for all pets needing care. I have flexible, open availability till mid-August. I can be a consistent drop-in visitor, walker, or sitter. Availability will shift in August when I work in person at schools. To create safety, trust, and a conducive environment for your pet I will: communicate on a timely basis, follow provided instructions, and adapt to your pets needs.

“Steven was above and beyond with my big dog Wallace. He took to time to check in with me in advance to learn a little of his background, and left my dog cared for, energized, and happy. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and have a strong understanding of animal body language and positive reinforcement (R+) training. I have experience dogsitting, walking and caring for dogs with a range of energy levels and temperaments. At home, I live with a nervous, high-energy 5-year-old dog, so I’m especially comfortable supporting pets who need structure, calm handling, and a bit of extra understanding. I also spent nearly a decade volunteering with a cat rescue, working with personalities ranging from rambunctious lovers to feral scaredies, but my favorites were always the shy kitties that needed a little bit of extra attention to feel safe. Pet care with me is an inclusive and personalized experience. I want to make sure that your animal receives the exercise and enrichment they need, but that they are also safe at home. This may include checking and refilling water, turning AC on or off at your discretion, feeding, light grooming, or the administration of medication. I am happy to clean up accidents, take out trash, and collect mail while you're out of town. I am also happy to walk at your dog's pace, whether that's a slow sniff walk or an excited stroll, and I can even incorporate training and treats into a walk if you desire. I like to spend some time bonding with both cats and dogs, whether that includes cuddles or play. I trust that you'll book enough time to meet your pet's individual needs. Note, for everyone's safety I will not approach an animal that is wary or aggressive so if your animal is afraid of strangers, please consider booking extra sessions so that your pet can acclimate to my presence (I am also always ready to do a complimentary meet-and-greet for new clients). I am trained in both the dog and cat fear signals, and usually pickup on subtler signs of stress. I will also use my discretion regarding weather conditions - if it's too hot, rainy, or smoky to safely walk your animal I'd be happy to provide them with play and potty breaks closer to home. In addition to Rover's guarantee I am insured and pet CPR certified. I am available most weekdays for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’m flexible with timing so I can best support your pet’s usual routine and needs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly 5-year-old 40-lb dog that loves to play. At your house, I am willing to work with whatever your needs are. I know every animal is different. Let me know how your pet likes to be approached, what kind of training commands they're familiar with any special care needs needs, such as medication. I prefer to do meet-and-greets with new clients, especially with shy or temperamental animals.

“Sahirah is without a doubt the best! She is super communicative and Smokee loved her off a meet and greet! Shes sends pictures which is super comforting to know that your pet is in the best care. Will 1000% recommend to anyone!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15years. I was fortune enough to be raised around animals & now take the time to care for them. I have experience with giving medications, senior & disabled pets. I look forward to hearing from you! Pet sitting has always been a constant and now my schedule allowed for more time to dedicate to pet care. It’s a pleasure to be able to do many things, but pet sitting it my favorite. When I care for pets I find it best to stick to their schedule. As well as giving them the time & care to get comfortable with me.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was about 10. I grew up in the country, so being around animals and helping take care of them was just a normal part of growing up. I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of attention. I have my own little pup now, who is very much my baby, so I completely understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re leaving your dog with. I’ll treat your pup like I’d want someone to treat mine—with lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their lead, whether they want to get out and explore, take a slow walk around the neighborhood, or just curl up on the couch and relax. I work in the film industry, so my schedule varies throughout the year. During breaks between productions, I have plenty of flexibility and availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. When I’m on a project, I keep my calendar updated so you always know my availability in advance. Whether you need a last-minute walk or consistent care while I’m between projects, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable, loving care for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and live near a great hiking trail for dogs who enjoy getting outside. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Dachshund who loves making new friends and happily plays with dogs both big and small. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pup’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Thank you for walking sky on short notice”
