Dog Walking Harbor City

About: I’ve had my dog, Milo, since he was a puppy and I basically take him anywhere he is welcomed. As someone who was scared of dogs as a child, I made it a priority to understand my own dog. I learned plenty about dog enrichment and body language, which has helped Milo become a well-adjusted and socialized dog. My approach to dog walking is allowing the pups to obtain enrichment through walking with brief stops for quick training. All bookings will help fund my dog’s dental cleaning, so thank you! 🫶🏽 Available for walks almost any time during the week, so long as you book in advance. 🙂‍↕️ Will likely walk my dog along with your dog, but let me know if your dog prefers to fly solo. Milo and I take walks every 4-8 hours. All pups are welcome to make themselves at home and are allowed on the furniture. There’s a balcony if your pup wants to sunbathe with Milo. We have a crate that your dog can use, if need be.

About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.

“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”

About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up around animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. For the past 14 years, I’ve also cared for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ pets, so I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love getting outside for walks—whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer adventure, whatever is best for your pup. I had a baby in February, and we’ve made daily walks and hikes part of our routine. Since losing my own dog in May, I’ve really missed having a furry walking companion. I’ll typically have my baby with me, either in a stroller or baby carrier, so your dog will need to be comfortable around babies. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.

About: I have two dogs of my own that I've been caring for since I was about 5, and I'm also my brother's designated dog babysitter (he has two super cute chihuahuas). What sets me apart is that I truly care about your dogs health and wellbeing, and I'm not scared to handle big dogs. I will 100% always make sure your dog gets water at the end of the walk and make sure that they show happy body language. I'm also extremely flexible and don’t mind doing extra things like helping to train or showing up early and leaving late. I’m probably your safest and cheapest bet because I don’t do dog walking solely for the money, I also genuinely enjoy being around dogs and going on walks. Since my dog is old, I can only really get that experience with other people’s dogs. I am super flexible and can work around your schedule, day or night. Let me know if you have any questions, let’s get in touch! You can trust me to keep your dog safe, healthy and happy. I understand dog body language well and can tell when a dog is happy, stressed, scared or showing warning signs.

“Perla did a great job! She spent so much time with our pups and made sure they were settled and had everything they need before leaving. We really appreciate her time and attention to our pups!”

“I had a last minute request to walk and feed Tofu and Sky was able to accommodate it, which was a big relief. He arrived promptly, was very communicative throughout the process and asked questions to make sure Tofu gets the best care. Also sent me lots of photos. Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”

About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.

About: I have been dog sitting and cat sitting for several years. I have been to dog training camps, volunteered at shelters, and have spent a lot of time in the veterinary field. I have cared for a many breeds of cats/dogs, all in a variety of health conditions. I have experience in giving medications as well. I love animals and truly care about their well-being. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet. I love spending time in the outdoors, and would enjoy having a furry friend to accompany me. I work full time. My work schedule fluctuates but I typically have 4 days off a week. I have two young children as well that keep me quite busy! I mainly do home visits and stays. I am happy to house sit as well as care for your furry friends. I have a great amount of experience in caring for animals.

“Thanks Fibie!”

I'm usually out on walks in the morning and evening and can be available for boarding or stopping by to offer walks or stop by to just say hi! Im in SouthBay most of the time but when I’m home… At times I’ll be home where I live in an apartment in Santa Monica and go out on walks often 3-5 times and potty breaks often. I can care for your pet for a walk, a stroll in the park, back scratches, socialization to just say hi or to board and care for I can accommodate. My dog, Pokey is obedient and very friendly.

About: Hello! I am 29 years old and I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I’ve personally trained every dog I’ve owned, including my two 4 year old male German Shepherds Taurus and Aries, my 7 year old male tabby cat Vander and my 3 year old female calico Kiki so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, strong personalities, and high energy pups and cats. I believe animals respond best to calm, steady energy and consistency. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally in tune with their needs whether that’s playtime, structure, reassurance, or just quiet companionship. Your fur baby won’t just be “watched” in my care they’ll be understood, respected, and treated like family. Being a nursing student has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and sense of responsibility all qualities that naturally carry over into how I care for animals. I’m already deeply committed to my own two dogs’ routines and my two cats, so caring for pets is built into my daily rhythm. I’m very mindful about only taking on bookings I can give quality time and energy to. Your fur baby’s comfort and consistency always come first. I have my two 4 year old German Shepherds, and my two cats. I’ve created a balanced environment that blends structure with affection. The dogs have consistent exercise, training, and clear boundaries, while the cats have peaceful areas where they can lounge comfortably. It’s important to me that animals feel safe and understood, not just supervised. Our home is calm, clean, and filled with love and I carry that same energy into caring for other pets. Because I have two dogs and two cats of my own, I’ve chosen not to offer in-home boarding. I want to prioritize my pets’ comfort and stability, and I truly believe animals thrive best when their environment feels secure and consistent. Instead, I focus on caring for fur babies in their own homes. This allows your fur baby to stay in their familiar space and routine while receiving my full, undivided attention. I’m able to step into your home calmly and respectfully, maintaining the structure and comfort your fur baby is used to.

About: I have pet sit for friends while they are on vacation. I have taken care of about 4 dogs. I have lived with a dog for about 2 years I work part time so i have around 3 free days a week while the others i work schedule i can comfortably have time to go check in on your fur babies and work ! I can make sure your dog comfortably gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. Whether that is walks or just playing with them for a bit so they aren’t lonely

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have earned a reputation among friends and family as the “cat whisperer.” I have a knack for connecting with cats of every temperament, from outgoing cuddle bugs to shy, fearful, independent, or extra-spicy cats who take a little more patience to win over. I have extensive experience with kittens, seniors, fostering, medications, special care routines, and challenging or defensive cats. I’m great at reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and letting each cat decide how quickly we become friends. My own formerly-feral barn cats went from aggressive and completely standoffish to affectionate angel-babies who come running for attention; one of my proudest accomplishments! I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them with your home. I’m a homeowner myself, and I take that responsibility seriously. My mom raised me to always leave a space better than I found it, and that’s something I still live by. I’m respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and personal space, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. Cats are genuinely my specialty. Whether yours needs cuddles, playtime, medication, patience, or simply someone who understands when to leave them alone, I’ll meet them exactly where they are and make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to squeeze visits into a small window. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of quality time with your cat. I also understand that cats are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine and preferred schedule while you’re away. Safety and trust come first for me; both of your cat’s and your home’s. I follow each cat’s established routine closely, double-check doors and entry points, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall demeanor. As the owner of two formerly-feral barn cats, I’m especially aware of escape risks and how quickly a nervous or curious cat can make a break for it! I’m comfortable with shy, defensive, or unpredictable cats and never force interaction. I let them set the pace and work to earn their trust. When staying in or visiting someone’s home, I treat it as carefully as I would my own. I respect your privacy and belongings, keep things tidy, and follow any household instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed cat and a home that looks just as good, or better, than when you left it.

About: My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved & cared for. I also want you to feel at total ease if you need to leave them and allow me to care for them. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pet. I’m a 4th grade teacher starting my second year teaching! My availabilities are generally weekends throughout the day and weekdays after 4/4:30. Pet care is an important part of my routine with my 12 year old Maltipoo. We go on night walks, quick morning strolls & if I’m ever off for the day, we love to go on fun, adventurous car rides. My dog, Pogo, always stays with one of my parents if I’m at work or away. Due to all of our schedules, he is never alone, so he is taken to the bathroom regularly. I like to keep him active & engage with him, allowing him to have the fullest enjoyment. That said, I carry the same actions when pet sitting. They receive full attention from me, because I know how crucial it is for pets to feel loved, especially when their pet parent is away.

About: I've been a dog lover and dog owner my entire life and currently share my home with my 2-year-old Mini Australian Labradoodle. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and care throughout the day. I love being active and am happy to take dogs on long walks and provide exercise and playtime for dogs who enjoy being active. At the same time, I understand that some dogs are true companion dogs who simply want to be close to their people. I'm happy to provide plenty of physical proximity, affection, cuddles, and companionship and will always pay attention to your dog's individual comfort level and personality. I also have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with different needs. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and anything that may help your dog feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also have two dog-loving children, ages 9 and up, who have grown up around dogs and love giving them extra affection—while I will always be your dog's primary caregiver and responsible for their care. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I would treat your dog with the same love, attentiveness, and care that I give my own. I work from home as a nutritionist and personal trainer, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Because I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout much of the day, I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, and I love having dogs as part of my day. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I believe every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn about their routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. In my home, dogs will be treated as part of the family and closely supervised. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and routines to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of both your home and your pet's routine. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise and companionship as needed, and will always ensure doors and gates are secure and your pet is safe before leaving. We have a fenced in back yard.
