Dog Walking Encino

About: I stand out for my hands on experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including senior dogs who require medication morning and night, cats who need medication, and dogs with anxiety who benefit from a calm, patient approach. I’m experienced with overnight care, vet visits, walks, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates so pet owners always feel confident and at ease. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and safety at all times, and I’m experienced with administering medication and caring for pets with anxiety or special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, secure, and at home.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors relied on me to let their dogs out while they were gone! I prioritize pet care and love to make sure the doggos get plenty of exercise and stay healthy! Give me the cat food recipe and I'll mix it. I leave everything as I found it when pet sitting in house and ensure that your fur babies have a safe and fun time! I send lots of cute pictures so that you can have plenty of cute updates to share with family, friends and coworkers.

“I know dogs can’t speak, but Brooke is so kind and loving with her. She spent the last 10 minutes of her time with Dottie on the floor loving her, when she so didn’t need to. Absolutely love Brooke.”

“I just moved to LA this past month. I am beyond happy I met Zoey! She has been a total hero to me during this stressful time. A weight has been lifted knowing that my two pups are in such trustful hands! My dogs are VERY high energy and Zoey knows how to handle them. She really goes the extra mile (pun intended). Forever grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough :)”

“I recently started a new job that requires long hours. I was nervous thinking about my almost 2 yr old fur baby being alone for so long. After searching numerous sitters, I found Mry and she had countless positive reviews. I decided to reach out and I am so glad I did. Mry comes to my home twice per week to walk my dog. She is so attentive and caring to our fur baby. She is also very accommodating and flexible so if I need to add another day last minute, there has been no issue. She is also very reliable when it comes to not only the safety of my dog but also our home. By chance, my father arrived at our house to visit earlier than expected and it was at the time Mry was walking our dog. She politely informed him that she could not let him in as this was not her home but he was more than welcome to use the provided lock box to prove he was not a stranger! She has been in constant communication with us and sends us immediate feedback after the walk with pictures. She also works on training with our dog and reinforcing certain commands. I can 1000000% recommend Mry to ANYONE who needs their fur baby looked after. She is truly amazing and I have had nothing but great experiences with her.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, reactive, senior, etc. I have a senior husky/golden retriever who gets all meals cooked, and gets spoiled. Reliable and friendly. Family members call me to check on their pets including cats, dogs and chickens, when they’re out in vacation. They get fed, watered, walked and few hours of play time/dog park or hike sometimes I’m currently unemployed so all my time will go to all the pets I plan on taking care of playing with them going on walks or maybe hikes if they love beaches best believe I’ll be taking them I have a fenced yard and back yard pretty big with lots of grass and shade. If they’re picky eaters I’ll make their food from scratch the way I dog for my dog she’s friendly and will keep your fur baby company. I have a cat too she’s sweet and a bit of a scaredy cat

About: I have been taken care of big dogs and small dogs since I was nine years old, raising my own dogs for about 11 of those years. I have a very open schedule to be able to give your baby, or babies, all the love, care, playtime, and attention they could want. Around the rules you provide, they will have constant company, stimulation, and well deserved- most times indulgent unless specified otherwise- treats along with abundance of pets.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover, and I currently help care for my family’s four dogs- Charlie, Graham, Winnie, and Lola. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of helping care for six family dogs in total, giving me experience with every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to loving senior dogs. They’ve each taught me something different, and through them I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and recognizing each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will always follow your pet’s routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Friends and family know me as someone who is dependable, organized, and responsible. Whether it’s showing up on time, paying attention to the little details, or making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve, I’ll always do my best to provide reliable, loving care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I recently graduated from California State University, Long Beach, and I’m currently studying for the CPA exam while working part-time. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the exercise, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care your pet requires. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also respect your home as if it were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout your trip.

“Emma was excellent! Emma was very caring and communicative when taking care of our dog.”

“Lucia was excellent! She was responsive, friendly, and punctual. I hired her to take my 5 month old GSP for a walk with specific needs for timing and location, and she could not have been a better walker to ask. She was easy to communicate with and very prepared. Thank you Lucia!”

About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.

About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitting that pet owners can truly trust. My approach combines safety, structure, and genuine affection—ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owner is away. I have extensive experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, puppy care, senior dog support, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always the same: to create a calm and loving environment where every dog feels safe. Because your dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a trusted companion! Since I work part-time and as a self employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, giving me the ability to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a full-time schedule or any company, I’m often available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, making it easy to adapt to each pet’s normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the visit. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I'm a lifelong and committed animal lover. My family always had pets and I have an innate connection and affection for all animals. My family had Old English Sheep dogs (also a horse and cats) so I'm very comfortable around animals. Pets usually sense this and take to me immediately. I have a quiet, gentle nature and will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and cared for and for you to trust that your dog is in the best hands. I'm very physically active and am more than happy to take energizing walks and hikes with your dog or play unlimited games of fetch. I’m also neat and organized and will leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have extensive experience with anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dispensing medication for both cats and dogs. I can provide excellent recent and local references as well. Can’t wait to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently home full-time and available for drop ins, dog walks, and house and dog sitting. I’m available last minute and anytime day or night, including overnights. My schedule is open and flexible so I’m able to spend quality time with your pets. I provide care in the owner’s home. I’m happy to stay overnight, provide drop-in visits, or dog walk. I like to have as much information as possible and ideally meet in person before accepting the job to see if we’re a good fit.

“Fiona is an outstanding dog walker! She is reliable, responsible, and truly cares about the well-being of the dogs she works with. I highly recommend her services!”

About: Ever since I was was about 13, I've always been the person to call if someone was going out of down and they needed someone to watch their dogs. I've been able to properly care for 7 dogs at most at a time. I love dogs and will do my very best to make sure they are well taken care of. I love being outside, so I am more than willing to go outside with your dog whenever they need or want to. Making sure your dog gets as much love (if not more than) as you give them is a big priority for me. I've taken care of breeds from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. You can trust in me to be the best sitter for your dog.

About: As a passionate and reliable pet sitter, I absolutely love caring for animals of all kinds, with a special soft spot for senior pets and playful kittens. I make sure to follow your care instructions and create a personalized routine to keep your furry friend happy and comfortable while you’re away. Having rescued many pets over the years, I understand how important your pet’s well-being is. That's why I started pet sitting — to help busy pet owners like you while providing the same love and care I give my very own pets. My fur babies and I enjoy daily walks, lots of playtime, and outings around Lake Balboa where Iv'e called home for over 20 years! Plus, I’ve taken courses in Dog CPR and First Aid to ensure your pet is in safe hands. Let’s set up a meet and greet soon — I can’t wait to get to know you and your beloved pet! I’m excited to be your pet sitter! Working from home allows me the flexibility to give your furry friends all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize sticking to your pets' routines so they can relax, have fun, and feel completely at home with me. I can’t wait to meet your adorable fur babies! I want you to know that I'm fully committed to following your instructions during my stay. Ensuring the safety and health of your pets is my top priority. You can be confident that I will take exceptional care of both your pets and your home while you’re away.
