It is apparent that she loves dogs and treats them with such respect. Will be rebooking!”

About: I have helped care for pets for friends and families for several years, I enjoy doing it on my free time, I can come to play with them to get energy out, walk them outside for fresh air, or just relax with them in the house. Let me care for your fur baby while you are away! I have free time outside of work on Friday afternoons and weekends. I would like a few days notice but I am usually around on weekends to be available for pet care. No overnight stays. In my clients home I will work with whatever environment they prefer and follow the rules, let me know what makes your pet most comfortable and happy while I am there, happy to do it!

“my dog is super smiley and her steps are all jaunty! i’m happy with how good she is after her walk with zachary.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have grown up with dogs since I was a child, I have learned to care for and love them. I worked at a doggy daycare called Pet Suites where I was responsible for taking care of other people’s pets on a daily basis. I also volunteered at a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation in Costa Rica where I took care of many animals such as sloths, capuchin monkeys and more! I am currently walking dogs as my full time job with some recurring clients, along with taking care of my own 10 year old rescue dog, Chappy, everyday! I aim to make sure your pet’s routine is thoroughly followed! I will clean up any accidents in the house, fill water and food bowls and ensure your pet’s safety while on a walk and follow a specific route if that is your request! I will also make sure to lock up your house properly and according to any specific instructions you may have!
“So so helpful by last minute taking my dogs for a long walk. Would 100% hire her again and more often!!”
About: Raised on a farm in Virginia, I have taken care of animals both large and small. I have a heart for all animals and am hoping to feel a little more connected to home by sharing my free time to walk your loved ones. I am intentional and caring in the time I spend with people’s pets, willing to give lots of affection, and make sure your dog is well taken care of. I enjoy long walks, possibly more than your dog will. Back in Virginia, I watched many people’s animals (as well as my own) ranging from large dogs to feeding pigs and collecting chicken eggs. I’ve been in LA for 3 years now, and I have a 1.5 year old English Cream Retriever who is the joy of my life. Now I look forward to caring for yours as well! I am available on the weekends to check on, hang out with, or walk your pups! I am open to house-sitting at your home, but would not be able to accommodate house-sitting in my home. My partner works from home, but my dog has access to a fenced in yard during the day for potty breaks, swims in the pool with supervision, and goes on at least two 1-mile walks per day. My dog loves ALL dogs, and would be thrilled to tag along for a walk with your dog, if socialization is something your dog would enjoy! I understand the importance of your dogs well-being, and will take care of yours as my own.
About: I treat every dog like family—with love, patience, and personalized care. What sets me apart is my reliability, strong attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique personality and routine, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle cuddles, or special dietary or medical needs. One thing my clients especially appreciate is that I always provide proof of walks. I send time-stamped photos, videos, or GPS-tracked walk summaries so you can feel confident knowing your pup is getting the exercise and care they need. I also keep you updated regularly with messages and pictures, so you’re never left wondering how your dog is doing. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Pet care fits really well into my schedule! I’m currently taking online courses to further my education. So I have plenty of time to give my full attention to your fur baby! Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s needs. I make sure to plan my time so your pet always gets the care they deserve. Whether your dog is staying in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved at all times. In your home, I follow their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep your space clean and treat it with the utmost respect. If your dog is staying in my home, I provide a cozy, welcoming space where they’ll get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment and stick to their routine as closely as possible to help them settle in comfortably.
About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life! In addition to my own pets, I often sit for friends and family and am equipped to watch, feed, walk, and play with pets. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and have experience with senior pet care as well. I am currently on summer break from university so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to watch your pups and cats! I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and sizes. I pay careful attention to any dietary and health needs they may have and am familiar with crating as well.
“We were so happy Christina could come back and walk Kona while we were out of town. This was our 2nd time using her and we can’t say how happy we are! She is kind, flexible with all my changes, on time, and my dog is a happy boy with her! :)”
About: My first dog was a Border Collie when I was 10 years old and he was such a good boy. I’ve always had a love for animals but nothing will ever beat the love of my childhood dog. I grew up watching him, friends dogs, and my neighbors animals that included dogs/cats/turtles. I went to school at Loyola Marymount and there I had four regular clients that used me for dog walking and sitting that I found on the the Nextdoor app. I treat animals like they were my own and have the desire to always leave dogs happier. I currently have a English cream retriever that turns one in August and training him to become a service animal. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible to what fits your need. Willing to work within reason to help be accommodating to the client. Working from home gives me an advantage to never leave the dog alone and make sure it gets regular exercise. Especially with lots of coyote attacks I get paranoid with my own dog so I want to make sure that I have my eyes on the dog at all times during potty breaks and when the dog is outside.
“John is the best! Walking the girls 2x a day, always on time, always with a professional and friendly attitude. If you need a competent walker and you are within john’s zone grab him.!!”
“Eve is the absolute sweetest!! My baby loves and trusts her and so do I!”
About: My name is Caitlin, I am a 23 year old female residing in Orange County. I have loved and lived with dogs throughout my whole life. I have been the neighborhood/family/friend dog sitter for a handful of families. WAG walking is also another platform I’ve been using for about 2 years now. I have a female golden retriever of my own who loves to play and is extremely friendly. I try to take the dogs out every 1-2 hours and go on at least 2-3 walks a day. The park is our favorite activity, I try to get a lot of the dog’s energy out at the park so they have a good night rest at a different home. I love surrounding myself with the four-legged fellas!
