Dog Walking Ladera Heights

About: I'm a dog trainer with over 3 years of experience training and 9 years of experience in the pet care industry. I work with dogs with behavior issues, puppies, rescues, and have epxerience with pack walks. Much of my experieince is from dog walking, dog daycare, and dog training at Petco and with my own business. I used to work at Wags & Walks as the head trainer and have years of experience with rescues. I run my own dog training business, so I manage my own hours! I'm available Monday-Friday from 11-4PM for dog walking services. I offer private dog training sessions on weekends and weekday evenings from 6-8PM. I have a fenced in yard where your dogs will remain safe and always supervised. I use crates in the home to ensure your dog has a safe, comfortable space. I have my own personal dog Cappuccino who can help with proper socialization depending on the dog.

About: I have a 6 year old pup myself named maverick who is my best friend and have also had experience raising puppies. I’ve worked with animals over 6+ years as my first job as a teenager was working at a holistic pet shop where we specialized in dog nutrition and health and training. I have also volunteered at a German Shepard rescue where I would take dogs ranging from all ages on walks until they found their forever home. Furry friends of all ages, sizes and breeds welcome! I currently am unemployed so I have all the time to be attentive and take care of any pup! I do morning walks and potty breaks along with another walk later in the day either around the parks or beaches or taking the dogs to the dog park and they will get frequent potty breaks as needed. I currently have a 6 year old extremely friendly dog in the home along with dog beds and a crate if needed. I would treat another persons pet how I would treat mine and he is a very happy, well trained and spoiled boy!

“Super knowledgeable about dogs and really loves what she does. My dog warmed up to her immediately and he was nice and tired after his walk. Highly recommend!”

Karissa C.

“Ray has been such a great walker for my girl Stella. She’s very weary of people and protective. She warmed to Ray quickly and he’s been a life saver for us! He takes her on longer walks than booked sometimes and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s safe. Ray is awesome!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Recently lost my little man (terrier, Franklin) of 18.5 years and would love some canine company to fill the void. I work from home and have a very flexible day, perfect for walkies and outdoor playtime in my secure fenced backyard! I work from home with a very flexible schedule! Would have plenty of time for walks and playtime out in my fenced yard. Park nearby for long walks in a nice neighborhood. Safe and lovely neighbors. I’ve had varying breeds of dogs my entire life so I know how to care for varying ages from pup to senior. My senior baby just passed, he was 18.5 years old (carrying, diaper changes, etc) I’m comfortable with whatever your pet needs. I’ll provide a comfortable air conditioned home for hot summer days, a quiet environment for long naps and a secure fenced backyard for supervised sunning and playtime. Will carve time for a few leashed walks in my neighborhood and View Park is right near me for some great squirrel watching :) lots of scritches and cuddles too!

About: Besides owning my own Siamese cat and having pets for years now, I have also pet-sat for both cats and dogs over the years for friends and family. I look forward to sitting and caring for your pets. I have open availability except for Sundays. I own a car so I am open to taking the dogs on a hike or by park as well. For my own cat and dogs pets I have sitted , I provide feeding, walking, and cleaning of litter, and house sitting at the owner’s place.

About: Big lover of cats and dogs! I grew up with a dog and two cats and currently have 2 of my own cats as an adult! I also volunteer with a cat rescue numerous times a month and pet sit for a number of my friends. Let me take the stress out of going away and treat your fur kids like they’re my own :) I work a hybrid schedule and am generally pretty flexible so I can be available during most days of the week and weekends! Can also work remote from your home if needed. I am unable to care for your pets in my home but I am able to visit or sit / stay at your place! I’m also available to help keep house in shape - mail collecting, plant watering, etc.

About: A lifelong dog enthusiast and dedicated volunteer at a Dog Adoption Center, I grew up with a Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix (aka ‘small dog, big attitude’), where I mastered the fine art of patience, belly rubs, and snack negotiations. My time at the adoption center has equipped me to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and quirks—from pint-sized puppies to wise old seniors. I’m here to make sure your pet feels like the VIP (Very Important Pup) they are, ensuring they feel happy, safe, and oh-so-loved! I work from home except Tuesday and Thursdays. I’m also available on most weekends, as well as weekday mornings before 9 am and evenings after 5 pm. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a safe, familiar, and stress-free environment for each furry friend. I follow any specific instructions provided to keep their routine as consistent as possible, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I bring patience, a gentle approach, and plenty of treats (if allowed!) to build trust with each pet, making sure they feel happy and at ease in their own space.

About: I grew up around animals (dogs, cats, horses, snakes) and worked at a doggy daycare for 5 years while in college. I walked dogs of all sizes and ages! I am a full-time pet parent, part-time technical recruiter, and forever animal lover! My weekday schedule is flexible, so I have lots of time to pamper your pooch! As someone who grew up around all kinds of animals from birth, I know how to take care of a lot of types of animals (from horses and snakes, to cats and dogs). When I worked at a doggy daycare, I walked dogs from 5 pounds to 150+ pounds.

About: I grew up with two dogs from the age of nine, so caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood. I’m calm, attentive, and quick to read a pet’s body language and needs. I’m patient with nervous or high energy pets, comfortable with routines like medication or special diets, and treat every animal like my own. I’m currently applying to law school, which gives me a flexible schedule right now and lets me offer consistent, reliable care throughout the week, including daytime walks, extended stays, and last minute availability. Safety comes first. In your home, I follow your routines and instructions exactly, from feeding and medication schedules to specific house rules, and I monitor pets closely rather than leaving them unsupervised for long stretches. I communicate proactively with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Alicja is wonderful. She handled our big dog and really put our minds at ease that he would be taken care of. She's a true animal lover and gave our dog some much needed attention.”

“Jeff does such a great job with my two dogs. She even left homemade treats for my Dog‘s birthday and made them each a little homemade hat when Daisy turned nine.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 30 years, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Over time, I became the person people call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals and their home. For years, pet sitting has simply been part of my life. I’m the go-to sitter for many of my friends, and I’ve reached the point where I want to make caring for animals a much more significant part of what I do. I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from healthy, energetic animals to seniors with complex medical needs. The longest I cared for one pet was 15 years. That experience taught me how important it is to know what is normal for an individual animal and to notice when something changes. That is a big part of how I approach pet sitting. I pay attention. I learn their routines, how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what stresses them out. I notice changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, breathing, vocalization, and the other small things that can tell you an animal is not feeling quite right. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have experience with special diets, oral medications, senior-pet care, behavioral issues, and more involved care routines. I understand that when an animal has specific needs, consistency matters. At the same time, I don’t believe every pet needs to be handled the same way. Some animals want constant companionship. Others prefer a little distance until they decide they trust you. Some want long walks and lots of play. Others are happiest sleeping nearby while you leave them alone. I don’t force interaction. I let the animal tell me what kind of relationship they are comfortable having with me. My goal when house sitting is to keep their life as normal as possible while you’re gone. That means maintaining their feeding, walking, play, medication, and sleep routines as closely as I can, while giving them the level of companionship they are used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going at home. And I take the “house” part of house sitting seriously. I treat someone else’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep the space clean and orderly, water plants, bring in mail and packages, take care of the ordinary household tasks that still need to happen while you’re away, and handle minor issues when I reasonably can. The feedback I hear most often is that the animals are happy and relaxed when their people return, and the house looks great. That’s exactly what I want. I want you to come home to happy pets, a cared-for home, and the feeling that while you were away, everything was in good hands. I work mostly from home, with the occasional job taking me out of the home for a few hours at a time. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and sometimes as much as 8. I tend to schedule all my work and pet-sitting around each other so there's no conflict. For puppies, I won't leave them for more than an hour at a time, as they need more bathroom breaks. For smaller dogs, I try to cap it at 3-4 hours. Larger dogs can handle me being away for about 6 hours, and cats I can leave for up to 8. I follow each pet’s established routine closely and let trust develop at their pace. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, keep the home secure and orderly, and handle basic household needs while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and no surprises when you return.

About: I truly understand that pets are more than just animals; they are family. I had my first pet when I was 16, and although she tragically passed away from cancer, that experience deepened my appreciation for the bond we share with our pets. With three years of experience caring for dogs, including those of family and friends, I assure you that your pet will receive the utmost care and attention. I am committed to ensuring they are well-fed, taken on plenty of walks, and given all the love they deserve. Rest assured, your pet will be in the best hands with me. I’m available for pet sitting anytime, with same-day service options. I prefer appointments before 9 PM, but my ideal times are in the morning. As a college student, I’m excited to do something I love while earning money to help pay off my tuition. Thank you for considering me for your pet’s needs!
