“We have been so lucky to have Kaden caring for our two dogs. He is so responsible and reliable. When things come up, he is quick to communicate. It’s clear he really cares about the well being of our two girls. I would highly recommend him for any of your pet care needs.”
About: I’m a college student so I’m used to having a schedule that fluctuates all the time, so I’ll be available early mornings through late nights to take your dog for anything from a hike to a quick potty break if need be. I like to converse with the dogs and just have a good time. I’ll definitely be treating your dog like the king or queen they are. i have a corgi at home who absolutely hates that I walk other dogs but I make it up to him by bringing him treats and telling him that he’s the only good boy there is in the world (wink wink). However I hope you pick me to take care of your pup, you won’t regret it. When I’m not studying or going to school, I make it my mission to be available for any pet care needs that may arise. I typically have a "non-traditional" schedule that allows me to be available more often than not. Safety will always be my top priority. I tend to be a helicopter dog walker that is over cautious because that’s what I would expect if I were having someone care for my furry friend.
“Brooklyn was wonderful with our dog, Scooby while we were out of town. She came by to give him an hour-long walk and sent photos along with other updates each day over the course of 6 days. She was a great communicator and we will absolutely request her as Scooby's walker or caretaker again in the future as long as she is available. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Clayton was on time/energetic and ready to match the energy of our baby corgi. He accommodated my last minute scheduling conflicts and stayed in contact the entire time. Will definitely have him walk Benji again!”
“Adrian was amazing! I needed a walk for my dog ASAP and Adrian was quick to reply! I am so thankful for her help. She took great care of my dog. I will defiantly be rescheduling with her again.”
“Justine is great 👍. Hoppy doesn't always like to walk when it's warm outside so she will play with her in the house. She's very attentive to Hoppy's needs. We are sad that she moved out of Long Beach, she will be missed.”
About: I am very comfortable with both cats and dogs. With over 15 years of experience pet-sitting, I have cared for the spiciest of felines and most anxious of pups. Your fur babies will be well fed, groomed, and played with while I am there. Additionally, I have experience administering oral medications to both felines and canines. I am a graduate student who is working part time as a substitute teacher. My schedule is very flexible, and I am happy to work your fur baby’s care into my day! I will ask to meet you and your pet(s) prior to booking to ensure we are a good fit! It is my priority to provide the highest caliber of care.
“Amanda was amazing with my baby Winston. She was on time every day for his walk and gave a well detailed report with photos. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their dog walked!”
“Calynne is awesome. She takes great care of our puppy Luna. She gives Luna lots of love while on the walks and plays with her. She has also done some light training with Luna. Highly recommend Calynne. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, when I had my first real dog and proudly took on the role of walker, cuddle buddy, and part-time groomer. Since then, I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—including my current senior pup, Leia, who’s been by my side for over a decade. From daily walks and brushing sessions to helping with gentle baths and managing the needs of older dogs, I bring patience, comfort, and genuine love to every visit. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a cozy overnight stay, I’m here to make your pup feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away. My main line of work takes place over the weekend, so I have wide availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. I’m also available for overnight stays any day of the week. From Thursday through Saturday, I’m free starting at 5 PM and fully available through the evening and overnight hours. If you have specific needs, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! I always treat pets and their homes with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, managing medication, or keeping walks calm and controlled. I make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and safe at all times, whether we’re on a familiar walking route or settling in for the night. I also understand how important it is to respect your home, so I leave things tidy and make sure your pet’s space stays clean and cozy. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities.
“Melina is wonderful. She is very kind, empathetic, and very professional. She followed all of our instructions and was extremely communicative while we were out of town. She went above and beyond not only for myself, but for my family who needed a last-minute sitter when we were leaving the country. She is a great human being and took great care of our animals while we were away. I would ask her to watch my furry friends again in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience with both dogs and cats, from playful puppies to older pets who need a little extra care. I love taking my dog on hikes and adventures, and I love to play and chill with my cats. I’m super patient, reliable, and always try to make pets feel safe and loved while their people are away. I can follow any routine you need—just let me know what works best for your pet! I am currently home for the summer and have all the time in the world to take care of your pets. I am available any day and any time of the week, whenever you may need someone to check in on your best friend and be there for them. I will follow any instructions an owner has about how to take care of their pet or what their pet needs. I will feed, play, walk, and give lots of love to make sure your pet’s needs are all met.
About: Owning my own dog, I took care and played with it, frequently. I took my dog out 6-9 times a day to pee with a nannie pack, including water bottle and poop bag. I feed my pets in the morning and the afternoon. I play with them once and sometimes twice a day. I take them out for walk a minimum of four times a day. Once a week I wash them. About two times a week I brush them. Once a month I clip their nails. I respect the pet owners rules. I make sure that the pets eat, drink and pee/poop according to the owners schedules. I put the pets on leash’s prior taking them out for walks.
“Yu is communicative, prompt, and friendly. She took pictures of my dog while she was walking him and even took my amazon package in. I will use her services again the next time I need a dog walker, thank you!”
About: I've grown up with pets since birth. Dogs and cats have both been a huge part of my life and definitely hold a special place in my heart. I have a dog of my own, Coco who is a 3 year old Maltipoo, and have done dog sitting for close friends and family for quite some time now. I am a full time stay at home mom. So I offer family style care in my home. Not a boarding facility style. Your fur baby will be a part of our family the second they walk into my home, and treated just like they are ours. I believe this is beneficial for both your fur baby and my family, as it keeps the family dynamics flowing and less your pup happy! I genuinely love getting to know each pet's personality and making them feel at home. Hi, I’m Alanna! I offer a safe, loving, and family-style environment for your pets—no kennels, just cozy home vibes. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family, and that’s exactly what I provide. We have a decent-sized fenced-in yard for plenty of playtime, along with a warm and welcoming home where your pup will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s doggy day care, home-style boarding, drop-ins, or walks, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. Your pup will enjoy cuddles, playtime, outdoor fun, and plenty of love and attention. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re cared for in a stress-free, homey environment instead of a kennel. Why Choose Me? • Family-style care, not kennel care 🏡 • Safe, fenced yard for playtime 🌿 • Experience with [small/big/puppies/etc. — if you want me to specify] 🐕 • Flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and daycare ⏰ • Regular updates and pictures so you never miss a moment 📸 I’d love to meet you and your pup to see if we’re a great fit!

“Lindsay was incredible to work with. She was responsive and made sure to ask any follow-up questions that were needed. We have three hunting breed dogs, and Lindsay made taking care of them look easy. She sent update photos and took them out several times a day for exercise. Traveling is much less stressful when you can trust someone to care for your pets. Our dogs were happy, calm, and relaxed when Lindsay watched them. I would highly recommend her for caring for dogs, cats, or anything in between.”

I trust her completely and honestly”

Makenzie is amazing! She always includes tons of photos and is great at communicating around anything with the regular walks. My dog is very nervous around new people, and she immediately loved Makenzie. She has a great presence with dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
We’re so happy we found Kaylea! Being new to the area, we were pretty nervous about finding someone to walk and watch our dog, Mazie, since she’s usually very shy around new people. But Kaylea did an amazing job helping Mazie feel comfortable. It normally takes several visits before Mazie warms up to anyone, but Kaylea had her leashed and out for a walk in no time! Communication was clear and easy, and she was punctual and kind. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker.
Highly recommend. Daniella was exceptional from the meet and greet to each drop in visit and walk. She arrived on time, was professional and kind, and my dog connected with her right away. She followed every instruction and gave the visit and walk just the right amount of attention and care. It’s clear she takes pride in taking care of others pups, and Rogue loved her, which made the whole experience seamless and reassuring. Will certainly be requesting again when needed.
Genesis is an absolute gem!!! My pup is more of a difficult dog to deal with because of her reactive nature. Genesis is so sweet, caring, & patient with her. I was SO nervous to have a dog walker because of my dog’s temperament but I am so grateful to have come across Genesis. I will 100% be requesting walking services again. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies!
Stephanie was great with Zoro. Stephanie communicated well each day and was flexible with the times. I would definitely rebook again with Stephanie. The last day after the walk was over, Zoro jumped into the car with Stephanie to go for another walk. Thank you, Stephanie!
