Dog Walking North East

About: I love dogs… of all kinds! That’s an understatement. My boy is Sailor, the Siberian Husky you see in my profile. The other two dogs—Bokee & Penny—are my friend’s dogs that I dog-sit for whenever I’m needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with any breed. Your furry friend will love hanging out with Auntie Tamara. I work for myself so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies. From feeding to walking to bathing to chilling, your pup and I will be the best of friends. In terms of my house, I have a yard with high walls so Sailor doesn’t even try to go anywhere unless it’s with me. When taking care of my friend’s dogs, they entrust me with their house key so I can come over and watch over the pups (even when they’re older, they’re always puppies in my eyes). When you ask me to dog-sit for you in your home, you can trust me to treat your space with the utmost respect. Same goes for the fur babies. They’re always in good hands with Auntie Tamara.

About: When your pet is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own, with love, patience, and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine, providing plenty of affection and exercise, and paying close attention to their individual needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any time. Just send me a message whenever you need my availability, and I'll be happy to work with your schedule! If you’re a new Rover user, use my referral code for your first booking and get $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/annax02660 I provide personalized one-on-one pet services to ensure every pet receives dedicated attention and care. For each service, I only accept one client’s pet(s) at a time. This means I do not combine pets from different households during the same service, allowing me to focus entirely on your pet’s comfort, routine, and individual needs. Once you book my service, I reserve that scheduled time slot exclusively for your pet. I do not accept another client for that same service period, ensuring your pet receives my full attention without distractions or divided care.

About: As a former owner of a golden retriever that I've trained myself, I have firsthand experience with the needs and joys of dog ownership. I frequently train my sister’s Carolina dog, which has deepened my understanding of diverse dog behaviors and training techniques. As a runner, I genuinely enjoy walking and running with a variety of dogs, ensuring they get the exercise and engagement they need. This passion for canine care has inspired me to offer my services as a dog-sitter and walker. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your furry friends, making sure they receive the attention and activity they deserve while you’re away. I also do headbutts with cats. I currently work at a co-working space, running a company and I've started a YouTube channel. I work on my own schedule, so I have time to play with and walk/run dogs! I also have had experience taking care of cats. I prioritize maintaining the dog's routine and comfort in their familiar surroundings. Before each visit, I carefully review their instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication administration (if needed), exercise needs, and any specific behavioral considerations. During my visits, I will focus on providing engaging playtime, ensuring sufficient exercise (walks, playtime in the yard, etc.), and plenty of attention and affection. I'll maintain cleanliness by promptly cleaning up any accidents and ensuring the space remains tidy. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that allows the dog to feel safe and happy while you are away

“Great experience! Would highly recommend Tori. Lots of pics and detail on walks and how our pup was doing. Thanks Tori, hope to repeat!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so ill make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos, messages, and details about how their pet is doing. Taking the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care every visit. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As a soccer player, I stay active and enjoy going on runs, long walks, and spending time outdoors, which allows me to provide plenty of exercise and engagement for pets in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate extra time and attention to each pet throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, any medication instructions, and any specific preferences provided by the owner.

“Excellent communication, very punctual, extremely kind and professional”

About: I been taking care of dogs since I remember… I would love your dog as if it was my own… I am very patient with puppies & willing to train them while they spend some time at my casita. I currently have the most perfect work schedule with a lot of availability that I would love to take care of your furry babies on my days off. I have a fenced backyard! A lot of room to run around… I have to two dogs of my own that would love to have more friends!

About: We are a husband-and-wife team who have lived with and loved dogs for over 20 years. This is not a high-volume job for us; we do this for the joy of being around animals and to stay active. Because we have a 14-year-old Standard Poodle of our own, we are very patient and observant with every pet we meet. We only take on a few dogs at a time so we can provide focused, high-quality care. My husband loves his morning walks and looks forward to keeping your dog company and getting them some fresh air. Since we already provide specialized care for our senior dog at home, we prefer to walk dogs that are generally healthy and mobile. While we are non-native English speakers, my wife is very comfortable using translation apps and earbuds to communicate clearly in person. Our daughter also helps us manage the app and scheduling to make sure everything goes smoothly. We are very dependable and will treat your pet like a member of our family. We are retired, so our schedule is very flexible and revolves around staying active and caring for our own dog. Paul enjoys a consistent morning walk and would love to have your pet join him for some fresh air and exercise to start the day. Because we only take on a few clients at a time, we can easily work around your specific timing needs for drop-offs, visits, or walks. Since we are home most of the time, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of companionship throughout the day. Safety is our top priority. We live in a quiet residential area in West Hills with a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely stretch their legs. We are very experienced with home maintenance and safety, recently completing a full home renovation, so we are mindful of keeping a clean and hazard-free environment. Whether in our home or yours, we are patient and observant caretakers. We understand the importance of following your specific instructions for feeding and routine to keep your dog feeling comfortable and secure.

About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.

“My dog has become an over achiever since he started walking with Samantha. He is setting records on his pee stops, pooping automatically, and losing weight.”

About: Have had cats and dogs my entire life and have ample experience walking, training and overall taking care of pets keeping them active and healthy. I have afternoon and mid-day available for walking can also fit in some early morning routes. Mainly do this part time and love animals more specifically dogs so it’s a dream to decompress and be around my furry friends. I more specifically focus on dog walking and making sure the dogs walking and getting some exercise and get a change of scenery. This way both the dog and I can have a bit of exercise and bonding experience.

“Michelle was great with my dog, I could really tell that she is a dog person and is knowledgeable about the care and maintenance of dogs. She is conscientious, caring and dependable.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was in my teens. I have had 3 generations of Smooth Fox Terriers plus a senior Pit Bull. I have a way with dogs. I'm very good with nervous and high strung dogs. All the dogs I have owned and cared for have different traits and personalities. I take extra care to ask the owner about specifics about the dog. Fears, dislikes, likes. I take time to learn commands that are familiar to the dog so that they feel at ease with me. When dogs get my scent they know I'm a good man and they trust me. I have a mini van that is set up to transport dogs. It's full of dog beds and blankets. I like to take dogs to new places so they can have new experiences. I adore dogs and can't imagine life without them. I'm a fitness trainer with a flexible schedule. I can move clients around in order to fit in my pet care. I only have a few exceptions a week when I'm not available. I have a very safe fenced yard and my two dogs are very passive and welcome visitors. I have a small two small parks across the street from me that are great for dogs walks. Dogs are welcome in my home.

About: I’ve had my first pet since I was 8 and I’ve loved animals ever since I could remember. I had my first dog walking job in my early 20s when I was in college and my first dog bestfriend was a Shiba Inu. I literally loved him like he was my own. I took him everywhere and anywhere that I went. I helped raised and trained him since he was 6 months old up until he was 7. Unfortunately, our journey had to come into an end when I had to move states for my first career out of college. Now that I’m back home in Cali, I’ve been yearning for another dog best friend or few. Sadly, where I currently live doesn’t allow for dogs on the premises so I’d be happy to go wherever to take care of your furry loved one! My experience includes basic obedience skills such as training and leash manners. **I am also extremely protective of your animals so I won’t take them where I know they could potentially be in danger or in harm.** *I am very communicative and will send pics when you’re away! I am available on the weekends, evenings, and holidays! I am sometimes free during mid afternoons. I am also available to board if when it is requested. I like to make sure that I am in constant communication with every pet’s owners. My preference is that I am provided with a list of do’s and don’ts. Otherwise I like to maintain a clean environment and make sure all animals are fed based on the schedule and amount that the owner provides. I like to be in constant observance of all animal’s habits in case for any changes of health or behaviors and I make sure to maintain a healthy amount of affection based on each animal’s needs.

About: As an experienced dog owner, I love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While I specialize in large breeds and high-energy working dogs who need confident handling and structured exercise, I am equally attentive, gentle, and patient with medium and small dogs. No matter the size, your pup is in safe, capable hands. As a flexible local professional, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I manage my own schedule, I am out and about in the LA area every day, making it easy to accommodate prompt drop-ins and structured walks when you need them most. My routine is highly active, which is perfect for high-energy working breeds that need consistent, timely mid-day exercise to break up their day. At the same time, my flexibility allows me to easily tailor my schedule for smaller or senior dogs who need dedicated, calm potty breaks and attention. Whether you need a regular weekly schedule or occasional check-ins, I build my days around ensuring your pets get consistent, reliable, and on-time care. When caring for your pets, my absolute priority is safety, structural consistency, and clear communication. For Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I tailor every visit to your dog's specific size, energy level, and temperament. For large or high-energy breeds, I focus on confident leash handling, maintaining their established training commands, and giving them a robust, engaging workout to burn off steam safely. For medium and smaller dogs, I adjust the pace to ensure a comfortable, stress-free stroll or focused playtime. For House Sitting (In Your Home): I respect your space entirely and keep your dog’s exact home routine intact to prevent any separation anxiety. I ensure they are fed on time, kept on their regular potty schedule, and given plenty of attention. You will receive regular check-ins and high-quality photo updates during every single service so you always have total peace of mind.

About: Your furry friend is sure to be taken care of when they come to our home! With a family of children, there isn't a lack of the entertaining, special attention and love they will be given. My husband and I have been caring for the cats and dogs of our friends for years and are excited to have you consider us to watch after your fur baby! My schedule allows me to be home most of the day and will be available to watch after your fur baby throughout the day to give them walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Choosing the overnight boarding option? Our family winds down around 10 and are early risers, allowing us to give ample attention to your pet. I have a fenced yard and large area for the dogs to play! I have a pool that is gated off and can either let them near the water, or keep them away; whatever you prefer! I do not have any pets of my own and only book one dog at a time, allowing your dog to feel safe and not have to worry about territorial issues.

“Sarah is super sweet and respectful!! She’s very professional and accommodating, even willing to come on a holiday. I definitely would recommend her!”

“Nataly was wonderful and easy to book. Meeko came back from his walk happy and tired, so happy we found her and can’t wait to book again soon!”

About: Life-long dog and cat rescuer and current owner of two pugnacious pugs. Treating animals with respect, love, and care are my top values. I have personally owned rodents, cats, dogs, and aquatics. Hi there! I am an HR Professional and animal lover! I have the ability to perform midday, local pet check-ins and walks. I love sharing photos and updates with pet owners so they trust their fury baby is in safe hands. My pets are my family. They are welcome on furniture and beds. My yard is enclosed with a lawn, so plenty of space for play. I do NOT have a doggy door and dogs are allowed outside only with supervision. Dogs will not be left outside if/when no one is home. Also, bully sticks and other similar chews are NOT given to my own dogs without supervision due to the possibility of a choking hazard. Chews are not kept out in my home, and only given as special treats for a short amount of time. However, I do provide licky mats with yogurt and banana and peanut butter for a fun treat for in-come care.

About: I have been an active, hands-on animal lover since I was 10 years old. Growing up, I was the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they needed someone to look after their pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for owners to have peace of mind while they are away. I am quick to learn specific needs and always prioritize the safety and comfort of your furry friend. I have a flexible summer schedule and am fully committed to prioritizing your pet's needs. I am available for early mornings, afternoons, and evenings throughout the week, as well as full day availability on weekends. I specialize in providing attentive care within the comfort of your own home, which allows your pet to remain in their familiar environment, reducing stress and keeping their routine consistent. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care. I am fully comfortable with following specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise, and I will always provide regular photo and text updates so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.
