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: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.

“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.”

“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!”

Paul H.

“Leaka was amazing. She went above and beyond for our dog and handled several curve balls thrown her way”

“Joanna, was a dream dog walker. Daisy was always excited to see her. We will miss her but look forward to seeing her next time we are in LA.”

Kathy L.

“Zoey has been such a great help for us. I couldn't walk our fur baby for a few weeks and Zoey has been amazing with our dog. She's been very patient with her (our dog takes time to get used to new people), always writing detailed notes about the walks and always reliable rain or sunshine. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to walk or care for their pet!”

Victoria M.

“She was very patient with my nervous dog. Great!”

Emily S.

“Kyle was very responsible and gave Brutus a good walk. He came when he was scheduled and I am very appreciative of his professionalism. Thanks Kyle”

“Mry has been very sweet and patient with my pup Nalu! It’s our very first time searching for a walking buddy and my little one is shy around new people. Communication with Mry is wonderful and we’ve achieved progress together these last few days! I feel safe and happy leaving my pup in her care. We’re looking forward to many more walks together :) Thank you Mry!!”

Ella C.

“Just wonderful; the dog is happy, and so are we.”

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.

“Anastasia has been walking my dog Zoey for a few weeks now. She has been very communicative, flexible where needed, and gone above and beyond .Zoey loves her walks with Anastasia and we’ll love to keep having her back!”

About: I’ve had dogs- and other animals- since I was 5 years old, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also looked after many other dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, giving them attention, care, and a safe, loving environment. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler approach. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure to prioritize the time and attention each pet needs. I’m available on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays, as well as Wednesday through Friday afternoons and evenings. I’m flexible and reliable, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care based on your pet’s schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I always ensure a clean, secure space, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’m respectful of your home and communication is important to me.

“Taylor is amazing. She has helped me out multiple times with my high energy pitbull. She’s done house sitting for a week and helps do weekly walks with my dog. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in safe hands and is getting love from Taylor at the same time.”

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: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and naturally became the go-to sitter for friends and family. I’m calm, reliable, and truly love caring for pets. I work from home, so pets get tons of attention throughout the day. Walk breaks, playtime, and cuddles fit naturally into my routine, and I’m around for anything they need. I keep things calm, clean, and comforting. In my home, pets get a cozy space, plenty of walks, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely - feeding, walks, meds, and playtime exactly how their dog likes it. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing.

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.
