Dog Walking Manhattan Beach

About: As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who truly loves and respects pets, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit for. I make sure your pet not only receives proper care but also feels like a part of the family while you’re away. Having two cats with unique needs, I am experienced in administering medications, whether it’s oral medication, topical treatments, or even injections if necessary. I know how to make these processes as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner. My patience and knowledge in this area allow me to confidently care for pets with medical needs. I am deeply committed to maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for your pets. They can be very particular about their space, and I take pride in ensuring they have a clean, safe area to call their own. I am currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your babies! I am available most of the time, whenever it works for you! I keep your pet’s living area clean and comfortable, making sure their food and water bowls are regularly filled. If your pet requires medication or has special needs, I handle them with care and patience. I ensure that they get the mental and physical stimulation they need. I know how important it is to stay connected with your pets while you're away. I provide regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your pets are doing and rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. While caring for your pets, I respect your home and privacy. I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide and maintain a tidy, safe environment. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in mail, or simply following your house rules, I aim to make everything as seamless as possible while you’re away.

“Joanne was amazing! She was able to help us out last minute when our other walkers weren't available. She was thoughtful and took careful notes so she wouldn't miss any details. While we were away, she took great care of our little guy and sent us regular messages to keep us updated. We look forward to using Joanne again in the future. Thank you!”

“Shay is simply the best! Not only do I have an extremely difficult and strong dog, I’m also a bit of a helicopter dog mom. I have a hard time trusting anyone with Bodhi, which I’m sure many of you can relate to, however I never once questioned Shay’s ability to take care of my baby. He had amazing communication, flexibility and sent me all of the updates. If you have a hard time trusting anyone with your dog OR need a strong person who can exhaust your dog, Shay is your guy!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have grown up surrounded by pups of all sizes and personalities. Friends regularly trust me to care for their dogs while they’re away, and my experience fostering has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each dog’s unique needs. Since I work from home, your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether we’re out on a long walk, playing at a park, or relaxing with belly rubs, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and adored! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I primarily offer care on weekdays, but I’m also available on weekends with advance notice. Your pup will get lots of companionship and attentive care while you’re away. I live in a quiet apartment just a couple of blocks from the beach and a beautiful nature path, making it the perfect spot for walks and outdoor time. With no kids or other pets in the home, I can provide a calm, safe environment where your dog will get plenty of one-on-one attention and care.

“Gabriella is an excellent dog walker for my 2 fur babies! She is very gentle and caring with them and they love her for it! I highly recommend her for all types of dog care needs!”

About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a marketing writer based in Manhattan Beach, originally from the Midwest, and I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and couch space to give yours. I’m a very experienced dog godmother and genuinely love spending time with pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from beach-walk extroverts to cozy little couch potatoes. Because I work from home full-time, I’m especially available during the day for walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and check-ins. We even live right next to Bruces Beach Park so we can run around and play! Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll get real attention, affection, and a calm, comfortable place to hang while you’re away. I’m also available for overnight boarding and would love to make your dog feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home so I have fairly free availability most days of the week and your pet will have constant companionship! Please let me know for boarding requests :) I do not have pets so your pet will be the only one in my apartment, we are also young thirties with no children so the full focus will be on your pet!

About: I have three years of experience dog-sitting and walking my sister’s terrier mix, so I’m comfortable with routines, walks, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need to feel secure. Outside of that, I’m an art history professor and PhD student, which means I’m very responsible, organized, and reliable. Years of teaching and working in museums have trained me to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, qualities I bring directly into pet care. I’m calm, consistent, and genuinely love spending time with both dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available all day on Mondays and Fridays, and most weekends. On Tuesdays, I’m available until 1 pm; on Wednesdays, after 2 pm; and on Thursdays, until 3 pm.

I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific needs. I’m very respectful of your home, keep spaces clean, and prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.

“The first walk doesn’t always go great, especially when the owner provides the wrong entry code into the building, lol. But we worked through it and Marevie was very understanding!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life — from age 7 to 27 my family had three amazing pups, and for the last 10 years I’ve raised my Shih Tzu, Mowgli. We lived together in Los Angeles, moved to London for two years, and have just moved back. He’s truly my heart, and caring for dogs has been part of my everyday life for decades. I’m naturally calm, patient, and incredibly attentive, which helps dogs feel safe, grounded, and relaxed — especially in new or unfamiliar environments. I’m confident with small breeds, senior pups, and dogs who need consistency or specific routines. I understand how important structure, gentleness, and affection are to their wellbeing, and I bring that same care to every dog I look after. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I’m someone who prioritizes structure, presence, and calm energy in my day-to-day life. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I fully adapt to their pet’s existing schedule — feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific routines they’re used to. I believe the best care comes from consistency, so I make sure their day flows as closely as possible to how it does when their owner is home. Since I don’t host pets in my own home, I’m fully dedicated to being present in the client’s space. I maintain a clean, peaceful environment, follow all house guidelines, and give each pup the attention and companionship they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles, structure, or quiet time, I match their energy and make sure they feel supported, loved, and well cared for throughout my stay.

About: A reliable, detail-oriented, pet sitter for clients with busy schedules, who value consistency and communication. I have experience caring for pets in house, managing daily routines such as feeding, getting good walks in, quality time. Also, experienced with administration of medication. Keeping pets comfortable and calm so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m highly attentive and treat each home with care as a guest. Trust is everything when someone is entering your space. I’m a strong fit for clients who appreciate cleanliness, professionalism, and clear communication with a peace of mind knowing their home and pets are properly being cared for. For select overnight stays, I’ll be accompanied by my friendly, well-house trained dog ( with prior approval ) He’s the best boy and loves all dogs and cats! Having a dog myself, consistent routines are important. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening care as needed with each booking. A lot of my clients from other mediums have been high class professionals and have very detailed and specific needs that need to be executed correctly. I treat every space with care and discretion. I have great private references that I would be happy to connect you with.

“Lillian has been helping with my pup on a regular basis for a few weeks and incredibly grateful for reliable and consistent help I can trust on a weekly basis!”

About: I have been taking care of pets - from cats, dogs, horses and more - since I was 6 years old! I grew up with a Portuguese Water Dog which is a very high energy breed and was the known neighborhood dog and cat sitter whenever anyone went out of town! I currently have a cat as well as a horse that I care for daily. I am familiar with administering oral meds, providing stimulating play time, and giving pets the love they deserve. I know how difficult it can be to trust another to take care of your special friend, and I pride myself in caring for others as I would my own - with much love, care and attention to detail. Please reach out with any questions - I look forward to meeting you! I work full time remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule! I love to spend as much free time around four legged friends as I can. Safety is of the utmost importance in my care and I always think of the pets’ needs first no matter if we are at home, out on a walk, or at the park.

About: What sets me apart is the personalized attention I give every pet. I’ve cared for a Mini Goldendoodle since puppyhood and have experience with breeds of different sizes and personalities, including German Shepherds and Cocker Spaniels. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience while keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I’m a very active person. I enjoy long walks, have trained for half marathons, and love spending time outdoors at places like the beach and parks. I’m fully available and flexible, so I can easily adjust my schedule around pet care needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply spending time with pets, I genuinely enjoy incorporating it into my day and staying active while caring for animals. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure they are well-fed, have fresh water, and are cared for throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and potty breaks, keeping them active and hydrated, and spending time playing with them, like throwing the ball or engaging in interactive play. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I always take time for cuddles and attention so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have always loved pets and have been dog-sitting since high school. I've watched dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and activity levels. Breeds have ranged from Yorkies, Aussiedoodles, Border Collies, Vizlas, Airedales, and between. I have watched high-energy dogs and puppies as young as 4 months old and have experience watching dogs as old as 14 with arthritis/epilepsy. I have been through an off-leash training certification program as well as leash reactivity training. Whenever I have free time, I like to go on walks and would love a companion. I live near The Strand and Greenbelt, giving your pet a range of places to be walked. I love catching the sunset on the strand after work or walking to coffee along the greenbelt on weekends. I take long walks but will accommodate the needed activity level of your pet. Many of my friends have pets, so we scope out pet-friendly spots on the weekends so their fur babies can join in on the fun. I live with two other female roommates who are pet lovers. We have a fenced-in patio and are a short walk away from the parks/walking trails. In my home, a pet can sleep wherever they are most comfortable. I am well-versed in enrichment activities for dog breeds that need them. I have experience administering medication and special food diets. I am very responsible, and always ensure the home is secured (doors locked, windows shut, garage closed). I have a car and a clean driving record, in case your pet needs to be taken to urgent care.
