Dog Walking Harbor Gateway

About: Animal lover! I’ve taken care of many different type of pets- big, small, young, and old. I have extra love and patience for seniors pets <3 I’m currently working part time with a somewhat flexible schedule. I’m available all day on the weekends but only available all day on some weekdays. I’ll make sure all food/bathroom areas are clean and home is secured before leaving. I can follow instructions, no matter how specific or silly they can be.

“Thank you Cynthia! She took very good care of our sweet pup. Took her time letting her warm up. Will definitely be seeing Cynthia again.”

“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog. We were apprehensive initially because she does have a physical disability, but decided to reach out to Aileen after hearing positive review from another neighbor. Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”

“Tiara was a very reliable dog walker. She came everyday to walk my pup at lunch for a couple weeks. She sent updates and communicated when needed. Would recommend Tiara for dog walking!”

About: I've had a lifelong love for animals, from being a devoted mom to two energetic huskies to caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I also have experience looking after senior and special needs animals, so I truly understand the unique needs of pets. I’m passionate about providing attentive, loving care to every pet as if they were my own. I make time for all pets and am here to help you with any needs. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting your sweet furry kids. When caring for pets in their home, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I offer personalized care based on each pet's needs, which includes regular walks to keep them active and healthy, interactive playtime to keep them engaged, and plenty of attention to make sure they feel secure. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner to maintain consistency and routine. Above all, safety is my top priority, and I always ensure pets are in a secure environment, whether I’m indoors or out, and that they have plenty of fresh water, food, and comfortable resting spaces.

About: I have experience caring for dogs 🐶 of all personalities, including feeding 🍽️, walking 🚶‍♀️, playtime 🎾, cuddles 🐾, and companionship ❤️. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs 🐕🐕‍🦺, and I always follow the owner’s instructions ✅ to keep routines consistent. I love making every dog feel happy, safe, and loved ✨🐾. I’m a stay-at-home mom 🏡, so I’m home most of the day to give dogs 🐶 walks, playtime, and in-home care. I’m available weekdays and weekends 📅, and I keep my schedule flexible to fit your dog’s routine ✨. Your dog’s safety is my top priority! All walks are done in my safe, familiar neighborhood 🚶‍♀️, and my large backyard is fully fenced 🏡 for secure outdoor play.

About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)

About: I've had pets my entire life. I understand that they're a treasured member of the family. I'm also a weekly volunteer at the LA County Carson/Gardena Animal Shelter. I've received extra training on animal behavior & handling. I love giving animals whatever type of attention they need and I'm extremely patient with them. I'm equally comfortable with dogs & cats (and pretty much everything except orca whales). Overnight stays, walks, giving medication, litter boxes, feeding, you name it. Petting animals is good for our mental health, so let's meet more pets! I work full time in an office Mon-Thurs with an hour commuteon each end. While I can do overnight house sitting, I'm gone all day (12hrs) at work so not available for walks/potty breaks. I work remotely on Fridays, so lots of flexibility. I have two extremely particular kitties at home, so unfortunately I cannot offer care in my own home. But I am happy to come to yours!

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved animals deeply. I remember sneaking my little chihuahua Feisty into my room every night. That deep love for animals has never changed. I’m incredibly empathetic, passionate, and I truly believe animals deserve to be loved, understood, and cared for. I know it’s stressful to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I want to be that person for you. My experience spans more than ten years, caring for a vast variety of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and so much more.. As a Registered Behavior Technician, I understand positive reinforcement and how to address undesired behaviors while maintaining your dog’s dignity. My own dog Georgina knows numerous commands and responds beautifully because of these techniques. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making sure your fur baby feels loved and happy while you’re away. I’m available for house sitting, potty break visits, and dog walks. I hope the photos I added on my profile brought you some giggles. I'll be sure to capture those candid moments of your fur babies along with detailed updates. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of availability for pet care. I offer housesitting, dog walking and daily visits. Let me know what times works best for you and I'll confirm when I can accommodate. I offer housesitting, daily visits for potty breaks, and dog walking. I adhere closely to all your detailed instructions and care preferences to ensure your pets safety and comfort.

“Mars was amazing! Mars showed up on time and also helped administer multiple types of medication . Mars was super communicative and very easy to work with! I would absolutely book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and daily routines. Whether it’s energetic puppies, playful cats, or senior pets who need extra care and attention, I’m committed to providing the same care and affection I would give my own pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during mornings, weekends, and other available times throughout the week. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and can dedicate quality attention to making sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress, so I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have.

About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.

“Allen was very professional and cordial. He was very open with communication and vibed with our dogs. I would recommend him to anyone that expects the level of care our furry family members deserve.”

About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

“Thank you so much Ms. Patty! Bandy looks great when we’re home. We booked the dog walking pretty last minute and thank you for your accommodation!”

“Dana is amazing!! Very communicative, thoughtful, and sweet. I’d recommend her to anyone and will continue to book her services in the future.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and potty routines, and I’m also comfortable administering medications or providing gentle care to older pets with mobility issues. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment whether I’m walking, feeding, or simply spending time with them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they feel reassured while away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it every day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, depending on what’s needed. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize the pet’s needs. Taking care of animals is not just a task for me—it’s something I look forward to and naturally fits into my everyday life. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure—no small objects or hazards around, doors and gates are checked, and routines are followed to reduce stress. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, medical needs, and personality so I can provide personalized care and maintain consistency. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely—feeding times, walk routines, or any specific care preferences. I also keep them updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes to build trust and give them peace of mind. In my own home, I only take in pets I know I can safely accommodate, and I gradually introduce them to the space to make sure they feel comfortable. Whether I’m in their space or mine, I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and full attention.

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is I’ve been a pet owner nearly my entire life. Before I learned to read I was a cat owner. By the time I was in middle school I was a dog owner. I love animals of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds. I strive to ensure all animals in my care are treated as my own. My pets are a big highlight to my day to day life, and watching yours will be a great addition to that! I am a construction worker, my work day starts at 5am and is over the latest by 1am. I am available weekends and also weekdays for overnights, drop ins, or partial days if needed. I am open to overnights as long as my work schedule is okay with you! I only offer my services in clients home. I offer overnight care and ensure that during my stay I leave your home as clean as it was left. If additional tasks are requested such as watering plants, gathering mail, etc, I’d be happy to do so!

About: My experiences with animals have ranged from puppies to horses growing up. And I have previously dog sat for family friends over the last few years. I’m currently enrolled in college online. So I am available most of the week while working early mornings typically. Mornings, afternoons, nights. You name it. I like to keep a regular schedule for the pets, and I always make sure I’m there for the pet parents and their furry friends.
