Dog Walking in Monterey Park

“Mike really went above and beyond! He showed up early and spent extra time on the walk with Boost. He was also very responsive as well. We love the notes and pictures on rover cards! Thank you Mike!”

“I have two big fun dogs that require attention on two different energy levels and the right person to keep them happy. Bobby was great, he got along with both dogs immediately and had no issues dealing with both energy levels. They always looked forward to his visits. I found Bobby to be reliable and flexible depending on my schedule. He communicates well. I won"t hesitate to call him again. Thanks Bobby!”

“Was great with my rescue dog who is very jumpy and needs time to warm up to people. Karolina knew how to build trust with him quickly and gently.”

“Amy was amazing with my precious little ones. She was very thorough and answered all the questions l had about what to expect during the walks with the dogs. She is extremely efficient and courteous and l would recommend her hands down. Georgia and Roy can't wait to see her again! Thank you Amy for giving me a sense of security with my babies.”

“Lily is a wonderful dog walker! She responds quickly and our dog Archie is always happy to see her. 😊He seems to be tired after his walk which helps him calm down while we’re at work. We appreciate Lily so much and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’m currently a proud cat mom to a sweet orange tabby named Cheese! I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I previously volunteered with the Dog Adoption & Welfare Group, where I walked, bathed, fed, cleaned up after, and played with dogs regularly. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, gentle senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable handling different temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love. I’m a freelance graphic designer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available for morning and evening visits or walks, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. While I’m generally unavailable during midday hours, I make sure mornings and evenings are calm, consistent, and full of care and attention. Whether it’s breakfast cuddles or a peaceful evening check-in, your pet will have a reliable and loving companion. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect—just like I would my own. I make sure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and calm in their familiar environment. I always follow your specific care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and routines. I pay close attention to details, whether that’s making sure doors are securely closed, food is stored properly, or litter boxes and water bowls are kept clean and fresh. I believe in building trust through consistency, patience, and open communication—so you’ll always get updates and photos, and your pet will always get gentle, loving care.

About: Caring for dogs is second nature to me—I treat every pup like one of my own. Whether your dog needs daily medication, special injections, or just some extra patience and love, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with training puppies, understanding their needs, and keeping things calm and structured to help them thrive. I know every dog is different, so I adapt to their routine, quirks, and comfort level. You can expect thoughtful updates, lots of love, and a safe, cozy home where your pup will be treated like family. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing a little extra care, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own, so our routine is already built around walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Someone is always home, so your pup will never be left alone and will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy for you to plan trips or getaways knowing your dog has a safe, loving place to stay anytime. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a secure balcony and plenty of nearby walking paths in a quiet residential area. For boarding, your pup will enjoy a cozy indoor space, regular potty breaks, and daily walks tailored to their energy level. Walks are calm, safe, and full of sniffing adventures!

About: I’ve spent the last 30 plus years growing up around cats, dogs and a variety of furry friends of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a playful game of fetch, a leisure walk, or some cuddle time, I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy and loved. I hope to give your pets the same attention and joy that I have given my own! I currently work on a mixed schedule with some weeks being busier than others, but that still gives me time to care for pets on my slower days. I do have the ability to block off dates given current or upcoming needs. I care for pets by making them feel comfortable with a warm presence and by providing them with the play and attention a close friend/family would offer!

About: Lived in a multi-dog household for over 15 years providing care to pups of all ages (newborn puppies to seniors). Experienced in puppy care, senior care, medication administration, and rescue pups needing a little extra attention as they're getting adjusted to their new furrever homes. Although I don't personally provide training, I've had experience in going through training for our own pups and can support in maintaining the training that you have already in place. Guests are provided with care full-time. I'm available throughout the week and are generally flexible with pick up and drop off times. Though there may be some slight adjustments to the our daily routine, a general idea of our schedule for boarding consists of.. 6:30am potty break and playtime 7am breakfast and continued playtime 8:30am lounge/nap time Potty breaks every 3-4 hours 12:00pm -2:00pm Afternoon playtime some time during this time frame if the weather permits 5:30pm-7:00pm dinner around this time frame Evening play until 7:30pm-8pm 11:00pm for a final potty break We live in a fenced home that is double gated with a large spacious backyard. Guests are only allowed outside when there is human supervision. Guests are welcome to wrestle and play chase; however, if we do see there is an escalation in energy levels then we do a quick reset and separate guests for several minutes before returning to a lower energy of play behavior.

About: Hi there! My name is Michele, and I understand how important it is to find reliable caretakers you can trust. I approach dogs with care and kindness, and I pay attention. I prioritize following your instructions and making sure your dog is comfortable and safe with me. I have a deep history as a dog owner. My mom had a knack for picking up strays and taking in fosters, so I have been providing dog care my whole life. I was 9 years old when I first helped raise a litter of bottle babies, and dogs of all sizes and breeds were my brothers and sisters as I grew up. I have had the good fortune of having two soul dogs in my lifetime, one of whom recently passed away from lymphoma and its complications. During our two-year cancer battle, I learned a lot about canine nutrition, care for elderly and disabled dogs, and at-home medication processes including oxygen administration. Dogs are some of our best family members. I love all dogs, and I would love to meet yours! I have a flexible schedule each week. I have a preference for walks in the mornings and afternoons, avoiding the hottest temperatures, but can accommodate a wide range of times. For boarding and overnights, I prioritize listening to your instructions in regards to your dog's preferences, habits, and level of training. If your dog will be comfortable having the run of the house, I am comfortable with allowing them to explore my home as they board with me; alternately, if your dog does better in more contained environments, we can set up your crate, pen, etc or limit their range to one area of the house. We have a small, maintained side yard that dogs are welcome in, but no back yard. When entering a client's home, I will behave with the utmost respect, and only enter areas of the home necessary for instructed dog care. For overnight stays at clients' homes, I reserve the discretion to limit my hours depending on any safety concerns, but will not change plans without good faith attempts at communicating with you to find solutions that work for us both.

About: I bring a genuine love for animals paired with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in different life stages: from energetic puppies to wise senior pets. I currently live with a friendly dog and grew up with a cat, so I understand both canine and feline behavior deeply. I'm attentive to the unique personalities and needs of each pet. Whether it's giving medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or providing calming companionship, I aim to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I'm also great with: a) Administering oral meds b) Helping with basic puppy training (crate, leash, potty) c) Managing older pets who need a slower pace and gentle care Your pet’s comfort and routine matter to me and and I treat them like family. Right now, I have a very flexible schedule during the week and on weekends as I’m in between jobs and hunting full time opportunities. That means I can give your pet plenty of attention, care, and time, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feedings, or just comforting company throughout the day. Because I live with a dog and have experience caring for a cat, pet care is already a natural and daily part of my life. I’m used to structuring my day around their needs, and I’m happy to do the same for yours! Since I only offer care in the client’s home, I’m happy to adapt to your specific instructions, whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, crate use, medication, or preferred sleeping spots. Every home and pet is different, so I take the time to understand your expectations and your pet’s personality. I’m respectful of your space, responsible with routines, and always leave things as I found them, or better. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Michelle was great! She went above and beyond for my dog, who had a small paw wound. She was great about cleaning the area after the walk and applying medications. Definitely will be reaching out to her again in the future!”

About: I had all kinds of animals growing up - cats, dogs, fish, chickens, turtles, etc. so I’ve been taking care of animals all my life. I have a wonderful American Bully named Koa! She’s very friendly and is socialized with both humans and doggos. So if your fur baby wants to play, Koa will happily volunteer as tribute. I work full time remotely so I am at home and available most days. As long as I am notified in advance I can generally make most days work :) I am located in Monterey park near Garvey Ranch Park. So if your fur baby needs some exercise we can definitely do that. Fetch is my specialty!

About: I have experience caring for 2 dogs and a cat in the same household growing up. The cat was twice the size of both dogs, which made it funny when the cat would start chasing the dog around. I was just recently laid off and I am currently unemployed. I'm home all day except for the times I'm going for a job interview. I usually walk the dogs around 6:00 AM. Feed them. Give them water. Then around 3:00PM to walk them again. And one more time around 9-10 so they can get a bathroom break before bed. Last 3 months, when I lived in my friend's house, I would regularly walk his dog 2-3 times a day. I would sometimes cook meals for myself and the dog. I learned that garbanzo beans are really healthy for dogs. So I would make myself some beans and share it my friend's dog. It seemed to help her go potty smoothly too, thanks to all the awesome fiber it has.

“Marina you are just the best, always reliable. I felt so comfortable knowing you were there today! Thank you”

About: Ever since I was little I grew up with dogs and I grew to have a strong connection with dogs. I grew up around big and small dogs. A few years ago my sister and I adopted a mini poodle. When we adopted her she was 3 months. I’ve had experience taking care of a puppy and the responsibilities that come with having a dog. I have had experience taking care of family or friends pets for a year. I’ve also had 6 months of experience pet sitting a husky and Australian Shepard. I’m currently going to school, but I have more than enough time to play with your fury friend! On Monday’s and Wednesday’s I’m available after 1:30 pm. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s I’m available after 10:30 am. Friday’s I’m available after 2:00 pm. I love going for walks and would enjoy my clients pets out for walks. I would be happy to make any accommodations for your furry friend if needed.

“We are so lucky to have found Alexandria she’s sweet, caring and patient with our huge puppy. Extremely communicative and punctual. What else could anyone ask for!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals all my life and have been taking care of various animals since I was a young child. When I was 10, I started taking care of our family dog-I walked her, bathed her, took her for grooming, and made sure he was always well-fed and happy. I’ve also volunteered to care for my neighbors’ and friends’ pets when they are away. Every pet is different, and I’ve learned how to connect with them in a way that makes them feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I form with animals of all ages. Whether it's keeping up with a playful puppy or giving extra care to a senior pet, I always adjust to their needs. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family - because to me, they are. I’m currently working part time, and it’s a fully remote job. I am available on weekends to accommodate your schedule. Just let me know 24 hours prior. I can care for your pets in my home or yours, depending on your needs. I also have a fenced yard to accommodate your pets' needs.
