About: I’m a big dog lover and would love to spend time with your fur babies! As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting with your pets. Whether your pup loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, or simply relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and love being able to give pets the time and attention they deserve! I’m happy to coordinate with you to find what works best for your pup and make sure their routine is as comfortable and consistent as possible. My goal is to make things easy for you and ensure your dog feels cared for, gets plenty of attention, and has a great time while you’re away! 🤍 Leaving your pup with someone new can be difficult, and I want you to feel confident that you’re choosing the right person! As a dog mom to two pups, including a senior dog with one eye, I understand that every dog deserves care that fits their personality, comfort level, and needs. I take that responsibility seriously and will make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m always happy to share pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your little best friend is doing well!

About: I love taking care of others and that includes pets. I love to give them the time and energy they deserve. I had a dog that I loved with all my heart although she passed I cared for her deeply and want to do the same for other pets. I currently go to school but after I’m completely free to take care of the little furry guys. I also work early mornings so late evenings are perfect for pet sitting. I don’t have any pets anymore so my attention will be on the clients pet. I have a yard that I would to play with them in.

About: I love dogs and dream about getting my own. I’ve pet-sat for families since I was 10 and grew up with my two Goldendoodles, who I absolutely adore and consider my babies, named Olive and Cedar! I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and love being active with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work 1–2 days per week at the hospital as a pediatric oncology CNA, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to be consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I enjoy spending my free time being active and caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present when I’m caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs if applicable, and any specific care preferences the owner has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, especially walks for dogs to help them stay happy and calm while their owners are away. I also focus on creating a safe, clean environment and making sure pets feel secure and not stressed in their owner’s absence.

I want nothing but to provide the best care for your baby and to be able to give you a peace of mind. You will be able to enjoy whichever endeavors you have knowing that your pet is in great hands. I have love, compassion, and care for all animals through sickness or health I am there to help in any way I can. I can promise your pet will get the exact amount of exercise and affection/love that they need ❤️ Working part time and studying online has given me the time and space I need to properly care for your pet, I'm able to study whenever wherever and I only work after school hours during the week with weekends off. I also have a Husky German Shepard mix that likes to keep me busy and makes sure that playtime and staying active are always in my daily routine.

About: J’s Dog Sitting In-Home Day Care 🐾 Hi, I’m Juliana — a devoted dog mom and work-from-home professional offering small, structured in-home daycare and personalized care. I share my home with my two boys: 🐩 Milo – my calm, gentle 12-year-old rescued poodle mix 🐶 Santo – my friendly, playful Aussie Doodle With 9+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, I prioritize a calm, safe, and positive environment where every pup feels comfortable and loved. ✨ What You Can Expect: • Small group setting (maximum 2 guest dogs) • Structured walks, feeding routines & supervised play • Positive reinforcement & behavior awareness • Medication administration if needed • Daily photo updates & clear communication • Consistent supervision while I work from home 🐾 Midday walks & drop-in visits available Monday–Wednesday (12:30–1:30 PM) in Norwalk 90650 & nearby areas.

Drop-Off: 8:00–8:30 AM (Earlier drop-off may be available for work schedules — please message in advance.) Pick-Up: 5:00–5:30 PM (Late pick-ups may be accommodated for an additional hourly fee.) A morning walk is included during my first break, and additional walks can be arranged upon request.

Please message me prior to booking to confirm availability and schedule a meet & greet 🤍🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I work from home Thursday–Friday, so your pup will have consistent supervision throughout the day. I keep a small group setting (maximum 2 additional dogs) to ensure calm, structured care and proper attention. A meet & greet is required to make sure everyone gets along well with my two dogs, Milo (12 yr poodle mix) and Santo (1 yr Aussie Doodle). Requirements for safety: • Non-aggressive / non-reactive • Spayed or neutered • Up-to-date vaccinations (records required) • Comfortable around other dogs I collect emergency and vet information at booking and provide daily photo updates for peace of mind. Your dog will be treated like family in a clean, safe, and structured home environment.

About: Being around animals brings me a lot of joy. I love discovering their individual personalities because, just like people, every pet is different. When I meet an animal, I pay attention to their energy and let them show me what they need. Some want to play immediately, some are cautious, and some would rather observe from across the room for a while. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are rather than forcing interaction. My Shiba and Malamute have taught me plenty about that. My Malamute is a big-time attention seeker, while my Shiba prefers his personal space (although he occasionally gives in to a cuddle and then mysteriously ends up snoring next to me). 😂 I keep boarding intentionally small so your pet gets the attention they deserve in a calm home environment. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, shy pets, and animals who need medication or extra patience. Most importantly, I’ll follow the care and routines you want for your pet. You know them best, and I want their stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have flexibility for early mornings, midday visits, overnights, and last-minute requests when available. I’m responsive and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, including specific feeding, exercise, or medication schedules. My home is calm, non-smoking, and fully fenced. I have two dogs of my own, and I’m experienced with introducing and managing animals thoughtfully so everyone can feel comfortable. I keep boarding intentionally small and pay close attention to each pet’s temperament and needs. Client dogs stay leashed until we’re safely inside, and I don’t take them to dog parks. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your routines, care for your space, and make sure your pets get the same attention and consistency they’re used to.

About: (wfh) I recently learned that in Hawaiian, you don't call yourself your pet's owner. You are their Kahu. Kahu has many meanings, among them guardian, protector, steward, beloved, attendant. I am happy to help you care for your pet-babies. I have had dogs, cats, birds, fish, currently a dog and three parrots. I work from home so I am available to your pets consistently. I am very familiar with elder care as well. I am a somatic practitioner working from home, I have breaks of availability throughout the day most days and I am usually available evenings and weekends. My schedule is set 3 days out so I will know my schedule and be availability to commit. Plenty of affection, love, potty breaks, and tending to their needs. I am diligent in caring for your pet in the ways you outline/need. We cannot always know what they are thinking so I always err towards caution. Nervous system regulation often helps pets feel safe and secure - that is my goal with all creatures =)

About: I have 6 years of veterinary technician experience that includes feeding, bathing, administering medications, performing cpr, taking basic vitals and quickly acting in emergency situations. I am gentle with seniors and patient with young pets. I always carry my compassion with me in and out of the workplace. I currently work 4x10s at an ER/Specialty hospital and that allows me to have 3 extra days to care for and love on your pets while you're away. I have 3 rabbits that I change out their hay, feed at 7 am and 7pm sharp, make toys for mental stimulation, and keep them entertained with supervised free roam time. My 5 cats follow a similar schedule with scooping their litter daily, feeding them home cooked meals and playing with them using several different cat toys to keep them entertained. Finally, I have cared for countess patients each with gentle love and care to ensure their experience at the vet is the least intimidating it can be.

About: Patient & Attentive: I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in my care. • Deep Understanding of Needs: Having been a lifelong pet owner and professional sitter for 3+ years, I instinctively recognize subtle cues—whether it’s when they want to play, cuddle, or need a nap. • Experienced Medication Administration: From daily pills to injections, I’m trained and confident in giving medications accurately and on schedule, so you never have to worry. • Customized Care Plans: I adapt walks, playtime, feeding, and downtime to suit each animal’s energy level, health requirements, and behavior style. • Reliable & Trustworthy: Your home and pets are in safe hands—I’m punctual, communicative, and committed to providing updates so you can enjoy peace of mind. My schedule is flexible according to you! I can do any time and any day I am flexible and adjusting. If you need me for a specific time frame I can adjust my schedule to yours Personalized Attention: I learn each pet’s routines and preferences—meal times, favorite toys, and cuddle spots—to keep them comfortable and content. • Safe Exercise & Play: Walks and play sessions are tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs, ensuring fun while preventing overexertion. • Medication & Special Needs: With experience administering pills, liquids, and injections, I follow vet‑approved instructions precisely and monitor for any side effects. • Calm, Patient Handling: I move at your pet’s pace, allowing shy or senior animals to warm up gradually and extroverted pets to burn off energy safely. • Regular Check‑Ins: I observe behavior, appetite, and activity levels closely—so even subtle changes are caught early and communicated to you.

Arika is an absolute miracle worker! I got her to walk my German Shepherd, Raynee, while I was away on vacation, and I could not be happier with the results. Raynee absolutely loves her. ​What impressed me most is the incredible impact Arika had on Raynee's behavior. Before Arika, walks were a challenge, but she got Raynee so calm that I can now walk her myself problem-free. It has made such a massive difference for us. ​I'm already counting down the days until my next vacation so I can hire her again. If you need a reliable, talented, and truly caring dog walker, I cannot recommend Arika highly enough!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your La Mirada. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
