Dog Walking Mount Washington

About: Hi there — I go by Lio (she/her)! I grew up with a Jack Russell and later lived with a Cavalier King Charles puppy, then a reactive rescue Brittany Spaniel for 3 years before moving to LA. I’ve been hands-on with everything from potty training to reading canine body language, and I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s personality. I’ve also lived with a British Longhair cat for 3 years, so I’m used to caring for both dogs and cats in the same household. Most of the animals around me growing up were rescues, often with a bit of sensitivity, so I naturally developed a calm, patient approach. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs — from shy or reactive to high-energy breeds (herding, hunting and hounds). I’ve also dogsat for a year through Pawshake and currently volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society. I'm especially experienced in sensitive and reactive pups. I've cared for rescues and street dogs, and will make sure I show them love while respecting their boundaries! I currently work from home during weekdays, and will have most of the day to pamper and play with your pet. I am available all weekend for overnights. Giving space, making sure I give out respect, patience and care. The most important aspect for me is to be attuned to them. Understanding their language, making sure they are comfortable 100% of the time. Regular potty breaks, grooming if needed, and a stress-free environment.

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. I grew up with a big dog, so I have experience walking, feeding, and playing with sizable dogs. My childhood dog was well trained, so I’m used to using commands with dogs. I’ve previously pet-sit for small dogs as well over a range of ages. Although I haven’t had a dog of my own for several years, many people in my life have dogs so they’re still a part of my life. I currently have a cat, so I am also very familiar with cat care. I just love all kinds of pets! I currently work from home as a freelance artist, so my schedule is very open and I have plenty of time to care for and play with pets! I have experience with animals of all sizes so I feel confident in my ability to wrangle any pups. I also have experience crating small dogs.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and have been lucky to live with pets for the majority of my life. In the past few years I’ve had the opportunity to dog sit for a lot of folks in my neighborhood, and have taken care of dogs small and big! I love trotting around town with a pup! :’) I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule, so I’m able to easily work pet care into my daily routine. I have a car, so I’m able to get around! I am very attentive to your pup, and make sure to stay vigilant while guiding your dog on a walk - especially around the busy city!

“Maggie is an enthusiastic and reliable dog walker. She really seems to love what she does! She is well organized and a clear communicator too. We are glad to have her caring for our dog, Dash.”

“Angelique communicates, so far she has been on time, and our dog Leaha comes back tired this is the second she's taken Leaha for a walk, so far Angelique is working out well.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages before, from terriers to Scotch collies. These dogs have ranged in age as well, with some being as young as 1-3 and the oldest being 15. I make sure to communicate frequently to ensure pets receive thoughtful and fun care that is also respectful of their boundaries. I’m a teacher and currently on summer break, so my time for pet care is pretty open and prioritized right now! Rover is my primary focus at the moment, so let’s chat about some care for your pet! Whenever in a new environment, I make sure to inspect all possible exits or potential areas for danger or risk for pets. Additionally, respecting your home and your boundaries is a top priority of mine! I don’t use things unless I’ve asked about them and will communicate if a situation ever arises. I don’t have boarding as an option at the moment, but if that ever changes, pet safety and comfort is always a priority!

“Sarah has proven to be reliable, communicative and trustworthy time and time again. Couldn’t be more satisfied with her service AND I know PJ gets a great walk each time! Sarah will continue to be our go to for as long as she is available.”

“Lori was great at communicating. She was sweet with our dog, Zara, and Zara seemed to like her. We had hired her for a walk, and we look forward to using her to stay with Zara at a future date.”

“Kenya is amazing! She is extremely patient with all 3 of my dogs, each with very different personalities. My 2 younger pups are anxious and skiddish with new people yet they were very receptive with her. She allowed them to go to her somehow managed to keep them calm. Will definitely be booking her for housesitting as I know they will be in good hands!”

“Thank you Emily for taking such sweet care of our girl! It looks like you two immediately bonded, it’s clear she was immediately at ease with you 🥰 appreciate all the cute photo updates too!”

About: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend most of my time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every cat has different needs and routines, and I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while they're in my care. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where cats can feel comfortable and secure. My home is pet-friendly, and I take care to keep doors and windows secure and remove potential hazards. I have experience caring for my own cat and understand the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and giving pets the patience and attention they need. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are well cared for.

“Steven was above and beyond with my big dog Wallace. He took to time to check in with me in advance to learn a little of his background, and left my dog cared for, energized, and happy. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. I currently have a 10 year old Shiba Inu named Velma. I pet sit my friend’s dogs all of the time. Dogs love me. :) My schedule is open most of the time. I’m a real estate agent, so in between human clients, I work with dog clients. I’m excited to make new furry friends. I have a single family home with a good sized yard. Velma runs around and sun bathes all day. When she is not doing that she is asleep on the couch.

About: Cat and dog lover with a 6 year old cat of my own who is part lover boy and part former linebacker. Experienced with cats and dogs from jr to sr. I have a flexible schedule so can often be available as needed and can lock in specific times/etc for consistency and ease. Inquire within! :) Respectful of your home and space and here to help provide some care and love to your pets while you’re away. For any pets being cared for at my place, lots of comfy napping spots inside, and a small gated garden area for supervised outdoor play.

About: My top priority is making sure each pet feels not just safe, fed, and hydrated—but loved. I understand that time feels different for animals than it does for humans. When their owner is away for days or weeks, it can feel like forever to them. I provide comfort, companionship, and affection to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for until their family returns. Sticking to routines and instructions as provided. Morning walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles. Spending time and learning your pets personality and catering to that. Ensuring they are safe, protecting them from anything harmful, and maximizing your pets health. I like to give your pet plenty of space to get comfortable and check me out before we start interacting—that way, trust can grow naturally. I always follow your instructions and will reach out if I have any questions. I also take care to keep your home clean and free of anything that could be unsafe, so your pet feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I follow your routine, keeping your pet comfortable and maintaining consistency with walks, meals, and snuggles.

About: Hi, I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience walking, feeding, cleaning up after them, and caring for them responsibly. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I am currently attending continuation school, so I have flexible hours and availability throughout the week for dog walking, check-ins, feeding, pet-sitting and pet care. I make sure pets are cared for by following their usual routine and what the owner’s instructions are. In a client’s home, I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, companionship, pet-sitting and cleaning up after pets while respecting instructions.

“Sheetal is awesome. She’s great with our dog and really easy to work with. Our dog loves her and we’re so happy our dog is in her care!! Incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with.”
