Dog Walking Lomita

About: I’ve had my dog, Milo, since he was a puppy and I basically take him anywhere he is welcomed. As someone who was scared of dogs as a child, I made it a priority to understand my own dog. I learned plenty about dog enrichment and body language, which has helped Milo become a well-adjusted and socialized dog. My approach to dog walking is allowing the pups to obtain enrichment through walking with brief stops for quick training. All bookings will help fund my dog’s dental cleaning, so thank you! 🫶🏽 Available for walks almost any time during the week, so long as you book in advance. 🙂‍↕️ Will likely walk my dog along with your dog, but let me know if your dog prefers to fly solo. Milo and I take walks every 4-8 hours. All pups are welcome to make themselves at home and are allowed on the furniture. There’s a balcony if your pup wants to sunbathe with Milo. We have a crate that your dog can use, if need be.

About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!

About: I have two dogs of my own that I've been caring for since I was about 5, and I'm also my brother's designated dog babysitter (he has two super cute chihuahuas). What sets me apart is that I truly care about your dogs health and wellbeing, and I'm not scared to handle big dogs. I will 100% always make sure your dog gets water at the end of the walk and make sure that they show happy body language. I'm also extremely flexible and don’t mind doing extra things like helping to train or showing up early and leaving late. I’m probably your safest and cheapest bet because I don’t do dog walking solely for the money, I also genuinely enjoy being around dogs and going on walks. Since my dog is old, I can only really get that experience with other people’s dogs. I am super flexible and can work around your schedule, day or night. Let me know if you have any questions, let’s get in touch! You can trust me to keep your dog safe, healthy and happy. I understand dog body language well and can tell when a dog is happy, stressed, scared or showing warning signs.

“I had a last minute request to walk and feed Tofu and Sky was able to accommodate it, which was a big relief. He arrived promptly, was very communicative throughout the process and asked questions to make sure Tofu gets the best care. Also sent me lots of photos. Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so taking care of animals just feels natural to me. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Your fur baby will be treated like family with me. I currently work from home and work at my own pace with lots of down time to spend with animals. I would like to spend that down time caring for pets. My pets are family at my home. All pets are welcomed and treated as family. Home has a big yard for pets to be outside or spend time with me at home.

“Tatiana did an excellent job with our special needs dog . He is completely blind but loves walks. She selected places that best suited him. Tatiana has a strong intuitive sense of dogs , as well as being bright and active. She is not lazy. Tatiana did a wonderful job and I would hire her again.”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.

About: My dogs are my life, and I want to ensure your dogs are well taken care of while you’re away. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and dogs with timely medications. I had my first dog at 9 years old for 15 amazing years. My second dog, I’ve had since she was a puppy and has crossed the rainbow at 16 years old. She was also on specific timed medication for the last 3 years. I also take care of my brothers 2 dogs. I am currently unemployed, and I’ve been working on freelance work projects from home. I have plenty of time to care for dog and I am flexible with time. I have a fenced backyard your dog can spend time in. I also have a small fenced area in my home they can stay in comfortably, and separately from the other dogs. All preferences can be catered to your pet such as if you want your dogs away from other pets or if you would like them outdoors more that inside, etc.

About: I have had pets throughout my entire life. Animals receiving the love, care, and treatment they deserve has always been something I cared about deeply. I am free to care for your pets on weekdays, weekends whenever you need. From walks and drop-ins to house-sitting, just message me a day in advance! :) When I am caring for an animal I always do everything I can do to ensure the animal is comfortable and I build trust with them. I am gentle and patient with animals.

“Christeen was wonderful taking care of Maddie while we went away! She let me know when she arrived at my house and when she took Maddie on a walk! She took pictures, video's and sent them to me. I highly recommend Christeen and will definitely use her again!! *****”

I've grown up with dogs all my life and would be happy to meet and social your dog if they'd like to join for a walk or boarding or just to say hi! I'm currently available right now for the next month or two as I work on some personal goals of studies as I work in the Healthcare field. I'm usually out on walks in the morning and evening and can be available for boarding or stopping by to offer walks or stop by to just say hi! Im in SouthBay most of the time but when I’m home… At times I’ll be home where I live in an apartment in Santa Monica and go out on walks often 2-3 times and potty breaks often. I can care for your pet for a walk, a stroll in the park, back scratches, socialization to just say hi or to board and care for I can accommodate. My dog, Pokey is obedient and very friendly.

About: I would be a great dog sitter for you not only because I LOVE all animals but also because I grew up owning two dogs, a Lab and a little Bichon, not to mention a cat and a snake. I currently have a dog and two cats I take care of daily. In high school I always took care of the neighbor's animals and houses while they were out of town. My friends now always call me if they need a sitter or just to give their dogs a walk while they're at work. My schedule is super flexible because I work from home. My love for animals and the fact that I am responsible and trustworthy makes me a perfect fit for you! I would love to meet your furbabies and do whatever I can to help! I work from home so I can be with your animals as much as needed! I have a room mate who will take care of my 3 animals here, which gives me the ability to give all the attention to yours! I can’t take pets into my home, but I can stay at yours full time, part time, or whatever is required! I love all animals and will treat them like my own babies.

About: I've been a dog lover and dog owner my entire life and currently share my home with my 2-year-old Mini Australian Labradoodle. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and care throughout the day. I love being active and am happy to take dogs on long walks and provide exercise and playtime for dogs who enjoy being active. At the same time, I understand that some dogs are true companion dogs who simply want to be close to their people. I'm happy to provide plenty of physical proximity, affection, cuddles, and companionship and will always pay attention to your dog's individual comfort level and personality. I also have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with different needs. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and anything that may help your dog feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also have two dog-loving children, ages 9 and up, who have grown up around dogs and love giving them extra affection—while I will always be your dog's primary caregiver and responsible for their care. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I would treat your dog with the same love, attentiveness, and care that I give my own. I work from home as a nutritionist and personal trainer, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Because I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout much of the day, I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, and I love having dogs as part of my day. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I believe every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn about their routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. In my home, dogs will be treated as part of the family and closely supervised. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and routines to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of both your home and your pet's routine. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise and companionship as needed, and will always ensure doors and gates are secure and your pet is safe before leaving. We have a fenced in back yard.
