Dog Walking North Torrance

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since a young age, and it’s truly my passion. I have hands-on experience administering medications (both pills and syrups), treating minor wounds, and providing attentive care for puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I stay informed about pet health and well-being, and I can also prepare home-cooked meals tailored to their needs. What makes me different is the genuine love and dedication I bring to every pet—I understand they are family. At home, I’ve cared for multiple dogs over the years and currently live with a sweet 3-year-old cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection as my own. I’m currently working part time so I have off days to dedicate to take care of your lifelong companion with love patience but also responsibility I have a 3 year old cat whom gives me companion and I also take her out for walks every day, back in home she has all the things she needs

About: I don’t have a lot of experience taking care of other peoples pets but I am a fast learner. I grew up on a farm and most of my experiences are of taking care of the animals on the farm. In recent years, I have walked my son’s dog, Mochi, twice a day. I truly enjoyed it because dogs have a special way of demonstrating universal love. The dog in my profile picture was Charle. He got us thru COVID and he transitioned at the age of 15. He was the only pet that I loved who had a place in my home. I am a school teacher off for the summer. My weekends are busy with volunteer services for my church. I am available Monday - Friday for the months of June, July and August. Presently, I am offering dog walking services only. When I meet your pet at your home, I will attempt to connect with your pet to make sure we trust each other before going out for the walk.

“Wyatt obviously is very good with interacting with dogs in a way that is unique and very valuable. Cooper's walks with Wyatt have been great and I get Cooper back appearing quite mentally stimulated! I def recommend him to look after anyone's pup. 👌🏻”

About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.

About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

“Kyle is so good to my dog Brody! He treats Brody with so much love and care, and Kyle really enjoys being with him and vice versa! It’s a priceless feeling knowing how well he’s being taken care of. Thank You Kyle!”

About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years and have also fostered puppies and kittens in the past 2 years. I'm happy to take your furbabies on walks, encourage them to socialize, and help reinforce training, if desired. I'm usually available for boarding on most days and weekends upon reasonable notice. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, which would allow me to work from home during the week on a need basis, just let me know ahead of time. We currently have an 8 month old pup at home. She’s well socialized, up to date on her shots, and lovesss to have guests over. I will treat your fur baby with the same care and attention I treat our Momo. I like to stick to meal schedules, dedicated play time, and routine walks to ensure a healthy diet and plenty of exercise time!

About: I've been a lover of all creatures since I was in diapers! From ants and beetles, to snakes and lizards.. dogs, cats, horses and really anything else you can think of. I used to pretend like I was Dr. Doolittle (still do my family says!) Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. There aren't very many animals that will wait for you all day long just to greet you with that unconditional, emotional lick or wag of the tail when you walk through the door every single day. I have been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old. We had our own to walk, feed, bath and love but I also took care of family members & neighbors pets. I always said I would be a veterinarian but those cards didn't play out just right. So, since then I've taken every opportunity I can find to foster, adopt, volunteer and care for dogs & cats. As an adult, I have raised 3 puppies. An Australian Shepard, a Rottweiler & a German Shepard. I've adopted 3 dogs from the shelter. All of which required significant medical care/treatment. And also adopted 2 cats from the shelter. I'm comfortable and confident with administering medication and wound care. I am also able and willing to care for animals who may need a little extra help. Our days begin early. Usually around 6a. My daughter is in school from 8a-235p each day. My son walks to and from school each day. I am currently working limited hours (from home). Pet care works into my daily routine very nicely as I am able to be available for pet visitors pretty much any time. Walks, yard play, food, watering, medication, etc are tasks I'm able to mange with limited distraction. I have a very large, fenced in yard with grass! Our fences are over 6 feet tall. We have three fur babies of our own. One black German Shepard (3.5 years old) and one German Shepard/Husky mix (1 year old). One American bulldog mix (4 years old). They will be keeping your pets company. We do not crate our dogs but we can happily do so for you if that's what you and your pet(s) would like. We have two children. Daughter who is 11 and LOVES dogs and cats so much! And our son is 13. He is also a big softy for fur babies. We have two cats. One is strictly indoor and the other is indoor/outdoor. Neither cat care too much for the dogs and usually just go about their catlike business. We have an above ground pool that we do not allow the dogs to swim in and don’t allow them access.

“Stephanie is an outstanding dog walker. She is extremely knowledgeable about the care and safety of dogs and is very adept at getting our dog to listen to her commands.”
