Dog Walking Manhattan Beach

About: What sets me apart is my active lifestyle, patience, reliability, and genuine love for dogs. I’m an avid runner who enjoys spending time outdoors, so whether your pup loves a brisk, energetic walk or prefers a slower pace with plenty of sniff breaks, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m attentive to different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pups! As a proud dog mom to Oso and Penny, caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. I love staying active, getting outdoors, and making sure dogs feel happy, loved, and cared for. I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my routine! As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Safety is always my priority, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I’ll always respect your instructions and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in loving hands!

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: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.

About: Pet care is already built into my everyday life. Three times a week I walk two 60-lb puppy Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I’ve successfully trained to walk calmly side by side. Every day I also take my own Black Mouth Cur on social outings to the dog park or dog beaches at Rosie’s Beach and Huntington Beach — over the last two years I’ve successfully socialized him to stop being aggressive. Mornings and late afternoons are set aside for client walks and drop-ins, while evenings and weekends open easily for longer visits or overnights. Because this is my regular rhythm, your pets receive consistent, focused attention every time. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly schedule. I maintain open availability throughout the week for walking both small and large dogs, with consistent morning and evening time slots reserved for clients. This structured yet flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, focused care without conflict. How do you care for pets in your home or your client’s home for the different services you offer? I provide care both in my home and in the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For walks and drop-in visits, I come to the client’s home and follow their exact routines, house rules, and any special instructions. For boarding or extended stays, pets are welcomed into my clean, calm, and fully pet-friendly home environment, where they receive individual attention tailored to their size, age, and needs. In both settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistent care so every pet feels comfortable and every client feels confident.

“Renee is awesome! We left her detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly. Our Cookie is a senior dog who requires patience during walks and Renee couldn't have been better with her. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of various breeds and ages since I was growing up. I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for over a decade, and I’ve been an attentive owner to 5 dogs (2 large mutts, 1 Australian shepherd, 2 frenchies) and 7 cats (Persian, Burmese, 3 British Shorthairs, and 2 weird strays of unknown breeds ;)) throughout my life. I live an active lifestyle and am more than happy to make sure your pet gets as much (or as little) exercise as they need. I’m also happy to stay home and provide care for any elderly or disabled dogs who may need it. I have a flexible schedule and will ensure all of your pets’ needs are met. My schedule is entirely my own. I can adjust it as needed to meet your pets’ schedule. I spend time outside most days and will be able to tucker out your pet as needed :) Tell me what you need, and I will make it happen. No request is too weird or high maintenance when it comes to our pets, so please feel free to ask for whatever you need.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and roommates for several years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own. My schedule varies from week to week, but I do my best to be flexible and accommodate my clients needs. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. I’m reliable with communication and will always keep pet owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision. I always follow care instructions closely, maintain a clean and respectful environment, and prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind.

About: I have good patience with all dogs from puppies to seniors. I treat them as if they were like my own furry baby. Every fur baby have their own personality and it’s heart warming when I see their excited tail wagging when I approach them. I’ve had good experience taking care of my 15 year old dog (princess) when she was a senior. I am working part-time. My downtime consist of me hanging out with my puppy whether it consist of play time or walking him to be out and about besides staying home all day. I have a fenced front yard with a front lawn and a big cement backyard. If clients need specific instructions, please don’t hesitate. I have a 2 year old golden doodle puppy.

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.

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have experience walking dogs and caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule and planty availability for pet care, specially monday-thursday mornings and early afternoons. I am available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime and keeping your dogs company while you are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner's instructions and respect every pet's individual routine and personality. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water and lots of love while in my care.

About: Giving your pets so much love, while leaving your home better than when you left. Grew up on a farm in Canada with many animals, while also having pets over the years since. In addition to providing reliable and loving care for your pet(s) and home, I also offer Animal Reiki sessions and gentle energetic space clearing—helping your pet feel calmer and your home feel refreshed and balanced while you’re away. I’ve been house and pet sitting for friends for awhile now and have led a digital nomad life around the world in 45 countries and counting since 2010. Thought I’d give this platform a try as I’m in transition and planning to settle down in California permanently while checking out more areas to see what’s a long term fit. I love animals, playing beach volleyball, and run my own digital marketing agency of 15 years that has always been remote-first so have a very flexible schedule that I create. Looking forward to caring for your home and pets! I grew up on a farm in northern Canada and it sustained our family so I have a lot of experience with pets and many animals, from our own dogs and cats, to rabbits, cattle, pigs and chickens. I’ve lived in many cities around the world since and also had additional pets throughout life and have often been asked to care for friend's and family’s pets and homes over the years. I absolutely love it because I move around a lot and do not have my own at the moment.

About: I grew up with three dogs and my first job was working at a dog kennel. I ended up working there for 3 years during high school and have experience giving shots and medication to dogs. Once I moved to NYC, I started fostering puppies and ended up adopting one of them and he is the light of my life! I’d love to take care of your pup and make sure that they barely miss you! I work a remote job with flexible hours, so I have a lot of time to hang out with your pup and give them all the love! I have a porch and live right next to a nature trail, my dog is very friendly and loves to play so he’ll love the company.

About: Hi! I will be moving to the Manhattan Beach area in September and can’t wait to explore the neighborhood! I have taken care of dogs for most of my life whether I am playing with my own puppy or pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am currently working full-time, however I work from home so I am flexible and can likely accommodate last minute schedules. Generally, I am available before 8:30am and after 5:30pm. I have a very high energy golden doodle at home. This means that walks are full of adventure and require high attention since he wants to say hello to every other dog and person in the neighborhood. Safety for your pets is incredibly important to me and I will treat your pets as I would my own!

“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!”

“I broke my foot and wasn’t able to walk my dog. Vanessa was incredibly helpful and made sure Pelo got plenty of exercise so she could stay relaxed and happy. She picked Pelo up right from my door and brought her back afterward, which was extremely convenient given my situation. Vanessa is a sweet, caring, and empathetic person. I truly appreciated all of her help and would highly recommend her.”
