Dog Walking in Hawthorne

“Booked Gabrielle last min and she was quick and responsive! She was very sweet, took two (big dogs) on a solid walk and sent pics. She was easy to work with and communicated/replied quick! Will definitely book again!”

“Indra was beyond incredible. She clearly loves animals and went above and beyond taking care of my pet. From spending extra time, coming extra days, and taking really long walks. She is attentive, responsive, and kind. I give her my highest recommendation.”

I believe consistency is important, so I work to keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease.

About: I have ample experience caring for other families dogs, as well as my own three who have now passed. I have been a trusted caregiver for pets for over 10 years, including overnight stays and drop-ins. I will care for your dog/cat as if they are my own family’s pets. I am currently not working after graduating College, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a fully open schedule, and am ready to care for your sweet fur babies! I care for pets in my home, or a clients home, the way that I would care for my own pets. This care is full of love, compassion, energy and excitement.

About: I have my dog for 14 years. And all my friends or family know how much I love her and that we take care of her I'm not working right now. I just had a baby. And I want to spend most of the time with him. And I think I can dedicate time to the pets and my baby I have a fenced patio. My pet is friendly, it is not Brava at all, my pets to take care of can climb on the furniture. I will take care of them according to the client's instructions

“Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!”

About: I have grown up with dogs around me & have 1 of my own 🐶 💕. Before rover I used to take care of my friends dogs for fun! I have the biggest heart for doggies, they are amazing! I have been on the rover app for over a year now & gained even more experience with taking care of dogs. I do very well at looking over them, playing with them, & make sure they are happy! I am a college student at Cypress college. I have now finished my 2 years as a full time student & have become a part time student for now! I am also now currently working as a part time Behavior therapist. So doing rover fits perfectly into my schedule right now as it is not so cramped. Drop ins-In your home I will make sure to ask & follow your rules. I will keep in mind where the doggy is allowed & not allowed to be. I will always be making sure that your fur baby is comfortable & happy 😊.

About: We (my husband, son and me) are a family of pet lovers! We are flexible to provided walks and drop-ins in the areas around Hawthorne/South Bay and LMU/Westchester/LAX. Willing to house sit dogs and cats as well across a wider location radius. Since we live with grandma, 3 dogs, and a two year old we are available for walks, check-ins, house-sitting. For an increased rate, we can offer boarding for a kid and dog friendly pet. We both had many pets growing up and have been dog and cat sitters for 15+ years. For a period of 5-6 years Sarah would regularly house sit for a friend who had a temperamental dog who needed medication and extra care. Lately we have several kitty drop-in clients including giving medication via injection and pill. We are very flexible as George works mostly from home and Sarah doesn’t teach (professor at LMU) everyday. Our experience and love of animals will ensure that your fur baby is well cared for. My husband and I work together to care for dogs and cats. I work at LMU and my husband works at home in Hawthorne, so we can flexibly accommodate walks and drop-ins near those locations. Also willing to house sit if your pet is kid friendly—willing to travel across a greater radius to house sit. We are dog and cat lovers with lots of experience. We have a 2 year old and 3 dogs at home, so not offering boarding currently unless it’s a great offer. We can take your dogs in a safe, fun walk either with or without other dogs. We can also drop in on or housesit your dog or cat.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and have had my own dog since I was 10 years old, which helped me become aware of the responsibility, consistency, and attention that pet care requires. Through daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing companionship, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also regularly help care for my sister’s dog multiple times a week, assisting with walks, feeding, supervision, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy creating a positive and loving environment for every pet in my care. Available most days after 11:00 AM and unavailable on Mondays. Prefer to accept bookings within the same area to provide reliable scheduling, consistent availability, and attentive care for each dog. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall comfort to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for. I also use positive reinforcement by providing treats for good behavior and encouraging healthy habits during walks and visits. At the same time, I stay firm with boundaries and avoid rewarding unwanted behavior to help maintain consistency and structure. In a client’s home, I respect the space, maintain cleanliness, and provide attentive supervision while giving pets companionship and consistency. During walks and visits, I focus on safety by keeping pets secure, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

About: In 2012 I got my little Yorkie Paisley from a place called Puppy Town. Over the years me and Paisley has grown close and she has become my best friend. Within a few days, I had housebroken her, at first she didn’t know how to walk on a leash, but was practice and patience, she became a master of walking on a leash to the point that she enjoys walking. Although Paisley does not enjoy baths, I do give baths and it brings me joy to see her fresh and clean I have to brush her every day to maintain that beautiful golden coat. I’m afraid to clip her nails so I will take her to Banfield hospital to get her nails clipped. Over the years Paisley became older, and her eye sight has declined, so every morning I have to take the time to take her to her food. She knows where the bathroom is at, but sometimes she’ll have accidents and I have to be patient with her and I have to clean up her accidents and I have to keep an eye on her at all times to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. Her food and water is still in the same place however, I had to rearrange some furniture and things to make it easier for her to get around… Every summer, I will purchase flea and tick protection, cause I can’t have no pests bothering my baby! Paisley is my best friend and even though she can’t see me anymore, she can sense when I’m there and still wants to cuddle up under me. I’m a landscape photographer, so I do do work in the golden hours however, I’ll be available to watch your best friend Monday through Friday in the early mornings 6am -5pm and also I can watch your furry friend in the evenings 7pm - 12am Weekends 6am - 5pm. Was Paisley I get up sometimes she sleeps but if she is up, she will automatically go to the bathroom when she’s done in the bathroom. I will take her to her bowls. I will feed her while she’s eating. I will clean up what it’s called a wee wee pad I live in an apartment and my room is pet friendly so your fur baby will have toys and also they will have water as well, in the kitchen is where I have their food so they will have access to food and water in the kitchen. Also, I live by a local park so your fur baby will never have to worry about being bored because I will take on walks to the park. Your fur baby will never be bored with me. We will go to the park, play with toys ,and I believe fur babies should always be indoors with a watchful eye.

About: I've grown up with all types of dogs my whole life. Dogs are my happiness, and would love to work with them on my free time. I have an open availability right now for any day of the week and weekend. I would be able to dog sit whenever there is an opportunity to. I'm a very gentle person with dogs, I go above and beyond to care for them, play with them and make sure they are always in a safe environment.

“I broke my toe and my fiancé had to go to work. Jay was amazing. He took my dog out on two walks today and then I had an emergency and contacted him and he was able to accommodate a last min walk. Jay is a total life saver. Thank you!”
